Maybe advertize on the Mars Explorer 2.22 saying come to the newer better one.

Otherwise...I f***ing love you guys for remaking it!!! :D

I downloaded the Open Source stuff, but it does not work in unity.

Two secrets? TELL ME! Please! Your secrets are quite litterally KILLING ME!

OOh can I make the forum for Mars 3?

 

Nah itz flyclub good at good CSS :D!!!

Ah man! I never was so excited for Mars Explorer since the first time i played it! I big thank you for bringing this place back up to Flyclub and Eric and Aubrey for the source code!

Thank you Flyclub! There is one notable bug that was not fixed: lasers explosion sound is heard throughout the entire map.

 

Also a suggestion that should be quite easy to add in: add "Rate of Fire" setting for vehicles.

GJ flyclub.  This is going to be great when its done.

Why can't I get out of fullscreen mode?

A couple more suggestions:

Bots should have names randomly chosen from a list, and preceded by "bot_". Some possible names may be:
"bot_Wolfram"

"bot_Curiosity"

"bot_Apollo"

"bot_Jupiter"

"bot_Astronomer"

"bot_Nobody"

 

Beautiful and Fantastic settings should have more interesting laser hit effects, I'll post an image soon

 

And regarding my previous Rate of Fire suggestion, tanks should have reduced rate of fire, but as compensation should have a space bar function - I don't know what it should be, maybe a tractor beam? 

"Decompression failed."

Flyclub,

 

I have an idea that I have always wanted to see in Mars Explorer, but has never been implemented. I realize that this may be extremely difficult to do, so I won't blame you if this idea is ignored. The idea for this was originally suggested by GTR34 in his post entitled: "The Buzzer: Scout Vehicle + 3D Model!+ New Idea!". This idea proposed a scout vehicle that could attach to the buggy and detach at the user's will. The scout would have a laser that could take the quarry and/or record a player's position. This way, if the fog is on very high, the player would know where his "target" was at all times. This original post can be accessed here.

 

Around one year later, GTR34 made a second post about this idea entitled: "MicroDrone UAV: The Buzzer II + Unity Web Player Demo". In this post, he expanded on his previous idea, and created a Unity Web Player Demo to allow viewers to fly his new MicroDrone. In this post, he stated that the quarry's position could be recorded with a tiny microlaser so that the player could always know what direction the quarry was in from their current position. It could also be used for CTF spying/scouting. In this post, he proposed some technical specs, which can be seen in the original post here.

 

When these posts first came out, I was very excited that this could be a part of Mars Explorer. Gradually, though, I began to see that it would probably never be implemented into Mars Explorer. Now, we have that chance to add this incredible feature. What do you think?

 

Sincerely,

Apophis

 

P.S. Keep in mind that the content in this post is in no way my own idea. It was all proposed by GTR34 in his two posts, and I did not contribute to those ideas. Credit for this idea goes to GTR34, and to GTR34 alone.

Wow, looks very promising. I don't have the time to go through and download the unitypackage right now (kinda why I left :P), but the screenshots look great. I as well have a suggestion to make about future versions of Mars Explorer:

the Submarine/boat. I have seen a couple boat models as well as a trial, but I was thinking you could get into a lot of very interesting situations with boats/subs (eg underwater worlds, boat races, etc.) I know Gub has made a submarine world, (although it was never exported). So here is my official suggestion for submittal to "the committee":

 

The potential of whirld is unlimited, and it's potential is not fully realized in the current version of Mars Explorer. It is for this reason that I, the late ffroggy, bring to the table a new option: the submarine. Conventional Mars Explorer vehicles have never worked well in water (with the possible exception of the tank), but water offers so much potential for navigation, exploration, as well as the expression of beauty. A submarine/boat would have the capability to move on or under the water (the space bar would switch between the two in my idea), plus the transition in-between submarine and boat could be accompanied by a corresponding animation. It would be able to fire much like a tank (although adjustable in the settings I/O), due to the tactical disadvantage of not being able to go above water. It would be fairly fast, but not unreasonably so. The submarine boat would add an entirely new dimension to Mars Explorer, as well as allow Mars Explorer to take advantage of all the opportunities that whirld offers.

 

thanks flyclub for all you're doing here! I look forward to the end result with much anticipation.

Hello!

 

I noticed that, when I downloaded this upgrade, that there was no icon to match it. So, I came up with an idea for one. In the "Fun" Folder of Aubrey's Mars Explorer Source Code, there is the Mars Explorer Logo in .png format. The colors involved in this logo are mainly orange and green. For a new icon, why not keep the picture the same, but invert the colors? This would also symbolize the fact that, opposed to one person designing it, anyone can (almost the opposite of what it was before). Here is my new icon idea:

 

 

I do not know why the colors glitched up on me, but you get the idea. If you really want to download the logo (without glitched colors), I have placed a copy in my Dropbox and you can download it here.

 

Let me know what you think!

 

Sincerely,

Apophis

Wow, your dock is massive flyclub... just sayin'
