3D action with missions, online, etc...

After about 7 months of work, it's finally finished! I present to you, the finished version of Hover Tank 3D!

HT3D is a tank arena combat game, with missions, versus CPU play, online multiplayer, and much more. It features many different types of gameplay, and is customizable to look and play how you want it to. The game is made in Game Maker's D3D, and is a fully 3D game. Here's a comprehensive list of all the game's high points:

Hover Tank 3D Features:
· Fast-paced 3D action, using GM's very own D3D commands, for a unique experience
· 5 single player modes, including Missions, Power War, Deathmatch, Capture the Flag, and Target Practice.
· A total of 41 arenas (6 Missions, 10 Power War, 6 Deathmatch, 8 Capture the Flag, 6 Online Deathmatch, Tutorial, Target Practice, and 3 Bonus Arenas)
· Online multiplayer mode, using a listing server! Locate opponents quickly and easily, and track your stats online here
· Customize your tank's color and your in-game name
· A range of options let you control how well the game runs, how it looks and sounds, and how hard it is
· Track your statistics throughout the different modes, and check your progress
· Support for OGG files, that can be used with the Music Pack (link below) or with your own custom tunes


Info:
File size: 6.64 Mb
GM Version: GM6, registered (game is a ZIPPED EXE, for your convenience)
Window size: 800x600 (starts full screen, F4 to toggle)


Hover Tank 3D final 8.7: Right Click, Save Target As... (6.64 Mb)
Music Pack (recommended, but not required): Mirror 1 / Mirror 2 (8.39 Mb)

Updated Vista-compatible file!
You can now download the following file and replace the original game's EXE with this one to play the game on a Vista system. Sorry for the delay! :lol:
Right Click, Save Target As... (6.36 Mb)

Ey m8, nicely done.
Smooth 3d engine, and nice features.
I also really liked the bonus games and the MP, since i already played that.
Again, 10/10, nicely done.

I am glad you guys are enjoying it, I put a lot of work into this thing to amke sure that most of the game's issues were resolved before I put out a final release!

I should mention that the last three extras are supposed to be unlocked by default, and that to unlock the others you can can unlockable objects hidden in each mission, and some of the deathmatch, capture the flag, and power war arenas. You will also unlock an extra bonus arena for beating missions 2, 4, and 6. I hope you guys enjoy everything... even the picture of my filthy desk on the last major work night of HT3D (pulled a coding marathon, hehe).

If anyone wants to play or schedule an online match, get your router set up (if you have one) and then PM me, or post on the MCG forums. Sometime next week I might be organizing a tournament, so keep practicing, and enjoy the game! :mellow:

FF, you still haven't resolved the aim bug, where if you look strainght up, or straight down, you can see a strange circle/dot...maybe limit the vertical look?

I thought about it, but I don't really feel it necessary to limit it. It's just a minor graphical flaw, and most users will not experience it under normal playing conditions.
