Is Chapter Master still a thing or is it dead?
in flux
Duke stopped working on Totally Not Chapter Master but he released the source code. Some guys might have picked it up.

I heard there was some guy rebuilding he game in a different, less awful engine. This was a while back though.

Cass' toi pauvre con.
>>46435683
That's really bad. I used to bet on Duke, you know?
>>46435641
If you look up bay12 chapter master, you'll find the thread where the guys that picked it up post normally.
>>46435866
Bay12?
>>46435887
Yes.

Neat. Thanks.I though bay12 was a Starcraft forum.
>>46435987
That's teamliquid.
So did it end up getting canned because he started asking for donations?
>>46439183
No, a GW store employee let it slip to his bosses that it existed, so they dropped the legal hammer.
>>46439355
But GW allows modification of games all the time.
>>46439838
Apparently they considered it a threat to their IP that could enable challenges to their ownership of Warhammer 40k in the future. If they fail to defend it at any point, that's considered giving up total control.
>>46435641
It's alive, but the people that got their hands on the source code are remodelling the game.
Saw the demo and they are going for a extreme makeover looks-wise for now.
>>46440030
Apparently a fangame is a threat.
It says a lot about how shitty the usual 40k games are.
>>46440707
>I though bay12 was a Starcraft forum.
It has more to do with the legal system than anything else.
I don't speak legalese, but basically if someone starts using your IP and you don't sue him into the ground, you no longer own your IP.
Same goes for buildings, bridges, land etc.
>>46442267
That's some weird logic that I don't totally understand desu senpai desu.
>>46442421
I quoted an earlier post by accident.
The law apparently originated back from a few thousand years ago when nobles were bad at using their land. So if they didn't actively take care of it, someone else would start farming it and a while later, it would belong to him.
Squatter's rights or something like that. In the modern day, it's immensely retarded and a general obstacle to everything.

Taken the word out of my mouth.
Hello friends!
Chapter Master is in two divergent stages:
First, the source code for the Game Maker version has been picked up by a duo called Jourmier and Thy Reaper over on bay12 to clean/remodel/fix. Last news was Thy was MIA and there has been no tangible release as yet, but some cleanup notes were posted late last year indicating progress.
At the same time, I am create a new core engine for "Space Soldier Managerment Engine" and am documenting my progress each week. Very early days, but I'm confident it will eventually go somewhere. In fact I just posted a new blog post, so that's a thing.
>>46444804
So there are two games in creation?
>>46444858
Essentially, yes. The first is the current, existing Chapter Master but made better and less crashy. The second is something different altogether, but inspirted by Chapter Master tales of old with heavy modding support.
By all accounts neither is going to be ready particularly soon, but you never know.
>>46444907
I can still play Dawn of War and Space Marines in the meanwhile.
>>46444966
For sure. And there's nothing stopping people playing the current Chapter Master either - it's just a little crashy in places.
>>46445050
I can't wait for dark eldars to be implemented.
I always wanted to give them a taste of their own medicines and burn them alive.
>>46445050
So, should we bet on Stream?
>>46444804
I did a bunch of sprites for various armor types way back in the original CM project, they're pretty small but more polished looking than that. Idk if I still have them but they're must still be on the old forum, feel free to use them if you find them and they look good
>>46445161
I would certainly like to think so. My progress with this was patchy at first (around January) due to work-related issues, but now I'm stabilised and have enough free time on weekends to commit to it.
>>46445233
That would be excellent, I'll go take a look. Thank you!
>>46445156
Are they a planned feature? I thought the bay12 team was mainly debugging Duke's code, cleaning things up so further additions will go more smoothly and we won't get any more planets populated with 10^255 guardsmen or whatever.
>>46445402
>planets populated with 10^255 guardsmen
Shut your piehole, this was glorious.
>>46445418
got the image? i lost it
>>46445718
Not on that laptop, sadly.
>mfw just downloaded it from the bay12 thingy
>not a single working picture
>not even placeholders
I see Duke really gave up. Poor guy.
>>46445718
I got you.
>>46446408
And here's the second one.
>>46442519
Still a thing in terms of property. For example if your neighbor builds a fence a couple feet into your property and you don't do anything about it for a awhile (depends on state but around 7 years is typical) then the property becomes his.
Water rights are similar. Again, varies by state but if you have a water right but don't irrigate or raise livestock with it for several years in a row then you lose that right
>>46446496
So if I claim 4chan and Chinese moot never answers, 4chan is mine?
>>46446437
>>46446408
Holy fuck my sides, I almost laughed so hard I threw up reading this.
Also >Umbubu! Fetch my carnifex gun!
It just...wew man I'd never seen that before
>>46444966
>Chapter Master is in two divergent stages:
Templar battleforce on steam is worth checking out. Its bollywood 40k and its amazing.
>>46444804
Godspeed
>>46446408
>its marching around it on patrol
gets me every time. i was there for that thread and it still gives me the giggles.
>>46446514
nah, it's british law.
And we all know british law ain't good for shit
>>46444804
Praise the Emperor, Chapter Master is not dead.
>>46435641
>land on a planet
>no idea how to actually defend it without sending everyone in a march to their death
I'm fine with the game being tough, but I want to know how to do basic fucking actions and the pdf is outdated
>>46451339
You can't.
>>46451339
Just disembark them.
You can't do anything else.
>>46435641
Our lord and savior Duke got a C&D from GW after an employee mentioned it offhand in front of his boss, iirc. He started a version with all the 40k stripped out, but has since stopped working on it.
>>46435641
It's dead, Jim
>>46454452
>He started a version with all the 40k stripped out
Correction : with EVERYTHING stripped out. You can't even play the game for the menus, icons, background won't load.
>>46454452
Proving, one more time that GW is shit.
>>46444804
It's alive? For realizes?
>>46455421
Barely alive. Trying to play it right now, there are still missing icons, and you literally CAN'T play if you don't have a mod. The vanilla game just can't load.
>>46440707
It's a legal thing
It pays to be as autismal about smashing any thing even questioning your ownership of exclusive copyright because if you ever fail to defend it you could end up getting btfo in court and lose a lot of your rights to your ip
Do not worry guys I'm have been working on a project for the last 8 months, a project at least as cool as Chapter Master and I expect the pre-alpha to be ready in something like 2 years. I hope you're hyped, I don't want to tell much but it will be grim, dark and dank.
>>46455421
It's getting there. Current progress on the dev blog, links on the 1d4chan page.
>>46446496
That is most definitely not true.
>>46456516
Wrong, I once threw my dung at Buckingham Palace, now it belongs to me.
