I'm making something Clonky again \o/
Perhaps like most of you, I'm shocked and appalled of the foreclosure of the official clonk forum. A game that has profoundly shaped my life is about to make a big leap towards oblivion. I prefer that not to happen. However, Clonk has become bland. Take Look at the standard objects pack - it has changed rather little since Clonk Planet. It's barely even using any of the wonderful new features that were added since GWE!
Goals
What I would like to do is to re-imagine as many of the original objects and resources as I can. Like, how would a Vegetation look like if it were developed in these days, now as we have *much* more CPU Power, more Bandwidth and Script functionality at Hand?
- More Effects and Objects! "Help! My PC doesn't lag anymore when I start Clonk!"
- We've been using the same Sky-Clouds and Midi-Chiptunes for 10 years or more, I think it's time for some variety!
- We need more natural enemies! Minecraft has respawning Zombies, Skeletons, Creepers, Spiders, Wither Skeletons, Slimes, etc..... What does Clonk have? A non respawning amount of Monsters, Snakes and Sharks.
- We need better goals! I think, after all these years, we've collected enough gold and produced enough settlement points to deserve some more meaningful goals ;-)
- We need more interaction! Observing 2 Knights doing a sword fight all on their own is boring. We've got swords and axes, I wanna swing them too!
- We need less Addons but not less Content! Western, Knights, Fantasy, Far Worlds... can't we make them all run from one Objects.c4d without chaos?
But most importantly, the whole project shouldn't be yet another addon pack. I would like it to be a complete replacement of Clonk Rages original Objects and Resources. Perhaps we can use it as a basis from where we can take Clonk into a new direction. There will not be that much new content I think, but there shall be so much much more detail in each and every feature.
Why for Clonk Rage and not OpenClonk? D:
- CR Content and OC Content are not mutually exclusive and stuff can still be ported at a later time (e.g. Kanibal building CR=>OC Converter)
- Because Nostalgia! <3
- Despite many attempts, I still find myself disliking OC as a game and I don't see it as the future of Clonk (yet)
- Developing in CR is easy and familiar for me.
Currently working on
- For Release v0.3
- Animal AI
- BetterStartupBuildings
- Music Manager
- Better Trees
- Animal respawning
Already usable Features
- Lots of Tweaks (Better Clonk Controls, Sawmill is obsolete - we've got Insta-Tree-Chop'n'Saw, Zaptrees!, New Materials Grass/Loam/Flint)
- Better Vegetation: Rewritten Vegetation Placement, a super easy-to-use configurable Enviroment Object that replaces the Engine generated Vegetation. No more just a couple trees on top of dirt. There shall be lush forests, Stalactites+Mushrooms in Caves and Vines hanging from the Skylands!
- Better Animals: Rewritten Animal Placement - finally no more fish placed in lava! Lots of customizable options like with BetterVegetation. 2 new placement Types: Underground & Burrow
- Better Earth Objects: Rewritten Earth Objects Placement - finally no more falling flints right at Gamestart! Lots of customizable options like BetterVegetation, Varius new placement types, e.g. you can place objects near to certain materials (e.g. coal near coal material)
- Better Day/Night change
- 1 Settlement Scenario
- Ambient Sound Manager

| The project presentation could be better, but I really like the idea and I'm looking forward to play the complete package! :) | |

| Ich habe längst noch nicht alle Bestandteile dieses Projekts getestet, aber was ich getestet habe, gefällt mir ausgezeichnet. So sehr ich Erweiterungspacks liebe, finde ich, im "clonkigen" Kernbereich des Spiels hat sich in letzter Zeit viel zu wenig getan. Es freut mich sehr, zu sehen, dass der Golden-Wipf-Ansatz mal wieder aufgegriffen wird - das Originalpack zu modernisieren und verschönern, ist ein großartiges und wichtiges Projekt, das das Überleben von Clonk Rage sichern könnte | |

| Hoffentlich die Wiedergeburt von Clonk, da es ja immer weiter bergab geht. Klares + Vote, Hoffentlich wirds was. | |

| Durch die Musik wirkt Siedeln viel entspannender als mit der (Meiner meinung nach) aufputschendem Standardmusik. Das ist eine klares Plus. Außerdem ist es ein Schritt wie die GWE nur das sie GZP heißt. | |

| Great Idea!!! so +++ ^^ But that Sounds like much to Work.... Unfortunately, my programming experience is limited... otherwise I would love to help where I can ^^ (Look at "Ant-Pack" there are my script's but the most of them with help from Clonkspot...) | |

| Sounds great. Maybe I could do some minor stuff when there is something to do. | |

| It's nice to see that there are still others who share the same passion of the original; Hopefully you will get your support and complete your project =) | |
1-10 
Because I think we have the same goal to improve Clonk :)
Not at the moment. Very busy with Work, Reallife and Vintagecraft
Currently you can control the transported vehicle if the transporting vehicle is in idle mode, or does not require the key (e.g. controlthrow with blimps)

great work!
In any case, on my half decent (Core i7-3537U @2GHZ, Geforce GTM630) Laptop, I've got 200 Fish swimming in Tropical.c4s and still running at 36-37 FPS which is the upper fps limit I think? That result is just my goal for GZE... use so much CPU/Memory that my Laptop can handle it without notable lag ;-)
