We ve been testing,reporting and fixing bugs.The bugfixing requires most of the time however a new game
feature internally called the Kamikaze mode for tha last 2 aliens is beeing developped.
That feature will ensure that the player won't have problems to reveal the last one or 2 aliens which means
a little bit different AI for the last two aliens.
We all know what was the problem to find the last one or 2 aliens in
UFO:Xcom defence or also in XCOM:Terror from the deep so the problem will be solved in UFO:ET.

ergonomic and synoptic arrangement. Concurrently work continues on starport equipment and new head
shaping - Her name is Elena Godoy - and on static backgrounds that will be important for
mood creation during
base management.

The preview will, among other, contain first impressions from the technological demo.
I belive it will be worth reading not only for UFO fans.
A month ago, in April 2004, an interview about UFO:Extraterrestrials was printed in
the gaming magazine Score.
It contained an explanation of the gaming system, levels and unit desriptions.

The way of financing CAF has been suggested. But it is still open to all sensible ideas and
I recommend writting them in the discussion until the final version is
approved. Beta version of the
inventory
was created. We especially stressed comfortable and intuitive control. As far as level graphic is
concerned, new sections in the alien mother ship
were created.

Some equipment in the municipal hospital has been created.
Work continues on indoor structure shaping in the intergalactic spaceship
Centaurus and on the alien mother ship. This abstract work is extremly
difficult for Johny the Sketchmaker.

Many machines gather and exploit mineral resources deep in the mines to
ensure the prosperity of the planet Esperanza.

We've been shaping the equipmnet of mine levels. Now, work continues on
shaping a belt conveyor which seems to be the last "straw" in the mine levels.
Engines, corridosrs and doors for the intergalactic spaceship Centaurus were created.
This particular spacecraft will allow player to leave Esperanza and head to Earth.

CAF armoured support car "Desert spirit" has been created.
Desert spirit is not very well
armoured in comparison to a tank or a rocket launcher tank, but it is damn fast.
Desert spirit can not deal damage comparable with tanks or rocket launchers but it can not only shoot projectiles but also
launch guided rockets. This ambiguity helped Desert spirit in becoming one of the most
commonly used units in the Counter Alien Forces.
The following models have been completed
-civil cars
-police cars
-new "gui" head
-lots of stuff for the alien base which is difficult to describe
-powering section for CAF base.
-CAF's support unit that resembles a mechanical warrior
Laser,plasma and rocket explosions were made.
A brand new interactive graphics user interface was finalized.
Michal
February
25th
2004
New support for animations of the GUI has been written. With this support, we can create nice effects with our GUI (for example
the appearing of GUI). Some GUI parts are being rewritten to use this support.
Some bugs in vertex/pixel shader support were found and fixed during the creation of
the "fog of war" effect which is still in the development phase. But it's starting to look really good, so look forward to it!
Pavel
February 23rd

I optimized the shadow casting code so it is now about 10 times
faster (i.e. usable). There is also new section on our
site called GRAPHICS where you can find some nice
pictures related to UFO: Extraterrestrials.
Marek
February
12th
2004
I rewrote the static lightmap calculation core. The new implementation looks
much better on curved surfaces and lighting computations are somewhat faster.
During the rewritting I finally found the bug in shadow casting calculations
so I fixed it and now static shadows are working well and looking good (however, it takes
a lot of time to compute them). Now I am planning to speed up shadow casting
and implement support for variable sized lightmaps.

The pathfinding algorithm has been strongly optimized. It is now working about five to ten times faster. It is also capable of pre-computing paths and path costs for future use.
The objective I'm now going to work on is visibility computing and optimizing some other
parts of the abstract model engine. But what I'm going to work on just now is sleeping:) [2:36AM]

New models have been shaped and covered with textures. Those are the radar,
gateway, the equipment for municipal
hospital such as bed, surgical bed, cabinet,etc. Some existing textures had to be re-textured because they didn't match to
the style that has been determined.
Michal
January

After the roof of Fortification44 has been shaped, we found that it would be neccessary
to model something else
on the it, because the roof looked incredibly monotone even in spite of the fact,
that radiators have been placed on the roof. Due to the fact, a bunch of ledges has been finally created.
Tommorow, on the 11th of January the outer segments of
hospital are supposed to be completed.
Next we're going to develop the roof of the hospital, which won't be easy, owing to the fact that
the "Sketchmaker" has drawn a little bit complicated rooftop shapes.
On the 11th of January new sketches of the air carrier will be presented, so that it can be chosen
in which of them, our effort will be put into.
A new head that was planned for use in the GUI has been shaped. It is beeing animated at this time.
Michal
January
2nd

We've been re-shaping and re-texturing the alien battlecruiser for a few days
because we had made a mistake before.
Work on the hospital's outer segments and it's roof continues. We proceed
according to our sketches.
December

Another head has been shaped and animated for use in the GUI.
The "GUI" heads have been created to substitute soldiers faces that are too small to be seen
in detail during a tactical missions. More equipment for police stations, such as
tables, sanitary conveniences or computer terminals have
been shaped and covered with textures.
December
7th

Aside from shaping the police station's interior equipment, we have started working on
the hospital
and a brand new, modern, interactive GUI that will replace the existing one.
December 6th

Roof of the complex "Villa" has been finnished. Outer walls of the police station have been covered with textures.
Today the "head master" has begun shaping the third head that is supposed to be animated and used in
the GUI
just like the two existing ones.
November 27th 2003
The 2 heads used in the GUI have been fully animated. All the partitions in the alien battle cruiser have been covered with textures.
November 20th 2003
A new head of a soldier has been has been shaped for use in the GUI.
November 16th 2003
Work on a new police station has started. We proceed according to our sketches,
which make modelling of such a building much easier.
The work on the police station began with the outer walls as usual. The main condition was that the wals have to
fit together.
One day these walls will provide police, as a form protection against alien
ambushes for the citizens.
November 15th 2003
A chassis for a new kind of an unidentified flying object has been shaped. This "body part" allows us to construct another alien vessels.
November 13th 2003
Interior equipment for a building in the "Mild" level has been almost completed.
Basic sketches of police station have been drawn.
November 5th 2003
Segmets for the "Mild" level structures have been shaped.
November 4th 2003
Today we have started runnig dynamic lightmaps on all low-poly moving models.This effect improved
appearance of all low-poly objects. New segments for buildings in a mild climate situated level have been made.
Now we΄re going to form interior objecs and floor textures.
November 2nd 2003
Work on a new level has started. We're going to create a level situated in a mild climate.
November 1st 2003
Work on a sub-complex called "Gass tower" has been finnished.
October 26th 2003
Bullet lightmaps have been improved. Work on the first unidentified flying object has
been completed.
October 24th 2003
Work on the first unidentified flying object has been almost completed. The only missing component
is a roof.
October 20th 2003
A new SAM site has been created. It is a standard anti-aircraft man-operated
facility.
It can load up to 4 surface to air missiles.
October 18th 2003
A brand new very well looking human face has been shaped.It will be necessary to shape
other expressions.
October 17th 2003
The existing level editor has been improved after we have found working with it too awkward.
October 16th 2003
Work on the first unidentified flying object has started.
October 12th 2003
The
editor has been extended after we have found that contrast between objects and terrain
has been
too visible. Now it is possible to input shadowmaps between an object and terrain so that
the contrast
can fade away.
October 10th 2003
A repair bay has been completed. It contains all the stuff that is necessary for
fixing damaged units in field conditions.
October 07th 2003
A
rocket tower, functioning as a human support unit, has been created. It can load up to 4 rockets.
This facility will help protect human structures from enemy raids.
October 06th 2003
First segments of walls for the desert fortress have been produced. Light effect behind rockets has been tested.
The effect looks very convincing.
October 03rd 2003
Production of segments for the desert level has started. These segments will form bigger objects.
October 02nd 2003
So that bigger complexes could be formed, a new way of object compounding has been deretmined after we
have been
discussing the heart of matter and other problems about walls for a few
hours. We were also
quarrelling about the enlargement of the playing area in the game missions quite bluntly.
The decission has been postponed.
