As everyone knows Crysis has a feature rich Dialogue System including support for all kinds of facial expressions and lipsync. The trouble starts though as soon as you try to make dialogues nonlinear: the integrated system only allows Dialogues which run straight from top to bottom.
Since interactive dialogues will play an important role in open Outcast we had to find a better solution. Together with our Game Designers we set up following feature list for our own implementation:
Dialogue flow is nonlinear (influenced by chosen options and logic / Lua scripts)
Dialogues are defined in XML files
Translation support
Different camera modes that are configured over a config file
Triggering actions that can be defined using the Flow Graph System of Crysis
Starting sequences and optionally resuming the Dialogue again after they finished
Support for Lipsync and facial expressions
Providing simple Flow Nodes so Leveldesigners can integrate Dialogues easily
Skipping lines of the dialogue
Now all of these features have been implemented, but see for yourself. Read more Here
SERWD Update!
Fri Feb 19, 2010 6:20 pm
Screaming Eagles is back on track again. It has made a small pitstop since we had some private life issues, but just like in formula 1, a pitstop goes fast and smoothly. Even tough we had a small stop, our team kept on growing, we are now in a total of 13 members excluding the modders who recruited.
For this news update only the Volkswagen Type 82 will be featured, also better known as the Kubelsitzwagen or Kubelwagen and our first done model ingame and textured, wich is a bunker. It's a small step but it's a good beginning. Remember this is just a teaser to keep up the interest in the modification. We got some awesome models WIP and some nice levels too so stay tuned for more!
Another awesome update has come flying into maxedgaming with the usual result of jaws dropping and us struggling to keep up with new words to describe it.
Check out this weeks edition of Jarmen's work here.

GoldenRod Has posted another great update of his upcoming map "Mountain".
With the same great atmosphere like his other maps this is definitly one to keep an eye on.
So we are getting there with having nearly all of maxedgaming in our new style. Our newest addition now is the user profiles.
You have probably noticed by now you also have a new "PC Specs" link in your Control panels where you will be able to show off your specs and later add images aswell.
So as usual please leave comments in the suggestions forum and tell us what you would like on your profiles.
