Plays fine on my machine WinXP SP2 FX5200. I managed to get around 30FPS.
I did have one comment, the shadows seem to suggest that I’m not holding a gun, or at least when I look at the shadow my hands look empty…is this a bug?
Looks good though, keep up the good work.
Andy.
Nope. It’s work in progress

Nice screenshots, but unfortunately cannot testrun due to my great Matrox G400 card 
Does graphics engine use lwjgl, jogl or custom-made .dll library for native opengl calls?
AgentFX 2 is plug-in based and can use virtually any binding, and renderer.
The AgentFX project started before both JOGL and LWJGL. In the first incarnation we used our own set of bindings, since this was prior to the happy days of java.nio we also shipped our own version of NIO buffers called LockedBuffers.
With the release of JOGL and java.nio we have switched over and currently run everything on JOGL but that might change in the future.

MacOS X support now included !
A new update of Megacorps Online libraries is now available. This new update includes libraries for handling Cg-environment on Apple’s Mac OS X systems.
We don’t have a OSX system so if anybody gives it a go,
please let us know the result at…

Any chance of some Capture the Flag? That engine would do it nicely by the looks of things. 8) 8)

It’s realy hard to say since Megacorps is our ref. paltform where we stress test new features before we include them in AgentFX. Therefore MCO is not released according to a specific schedule.
Our current highest priority is a offical game server and searchable database with public servers.

An official game server would come in handy for your guys rep. I look forward to playing that game and helping you guys along with it.

Hi everybody,
Some happy news for the Java community.
AgentFX 3D engine and Megacorps Online, received a bronze position in 2004 years Golden Polygon Awards.
The Golden Polygon Awards recognize excellence in Real-time & interactive 3D contents. More than 150 3D contents were submitted to the Golden Polygon Awards 2004 Edition. The members of the organization selected 20 nominees in 4 categories.
I’m proud to say that Megacorps Online was awarded with a bronze position in the category for Rich Media / Entertainment.
Take care and play on

New update is available. This March 30th update was showcased at Game Developers Conference and includes a new self-re-charging laser gun, particle effects, smoke and some other features.

nm…see below
The demo is good but you really need to hire a couple artist guys to add some punch to it. For example the lack of sound might be an handicap if you want to convince of the validity of your engine.
If you go to one of the “modding communities” out there (unreal tournament or quake something) you could find some people able to build you a handful of good impressive map in a short time and maybe work on the sound or particle effects (which could be tweaked a bit ).
Good work nevertheless.
Looking good!
It is definetly getting to the stage where it needs sound though.
What I like:
)What can be improved (in no particular order). Take these with a grain of salt, I realize you are still developing it:
Despite that list, it’s very impressive and is a good example of what can be done with Java. Keep it comming!
Appreciate the input

Have you ever done any Q or UT maps? For MCO building a map might don’t take that much time like for Q and UT, but i mention their map editor isn’t that powerfull either.
High Qualitity Q and UT maps take round about one month starting from the first scratch until the final release to the community. THis shall not be a comparission to industrie dev time, where a map mostly have to be done in two weeks…
Does MCO even have an editor for creating maps?
To create a MCO map you can use any tool that supports .obj. The map is created from a set of sections connected through a portal system. Both the portals and sections can be loaded form a regular .obj file. Special features such as lights, shadows are added with XML. Most of the artist that we’ve worked with uses Maya but any tool that supports .obj and .mtl should be usable.
If anyone is intressted in developing a map for MCO just let me know and I’ll guide you through the process.

Yeah, although I don’t have “a name” there, I spent several years designing maps and coding UT mods.
I was talking about a mapper, ready to adopt a new engine and to try new methods of working for an experience, and who would know the how-to to make a good couple of deathmatch maps to start. That would be a good way to take the engine tests to a new level.
We are talking about the engine demo, I don’t think agency 9 really has time constraints, a couple of month of mappingwouldn’t hurt them.
