A Sandbox-based Colony Game?

One of the colony games in the OPU op2 ver is a sandbox, but its sad because the tech tree is so limited. Can't build University, or even a Nursery I think.

You know what Sirbomber? I wasn't targeting you in ANY Manner! I was referring to the incompetent people that created the game in the first place! NOT you or any of the wonderful people that are in this forum. I hope you CLEARLY understood that.

You left your words open to interpretation.

Sirbomber may have some experience behind him to justify his statement.
Also, while it may be put in a manner some perceive as offensive and rude, he does have a point.
Namely, if you want it, make it yourself. Don't sit idly and expect someone else to do it for you (by "someone" read: a random person not you). Of course, this does not mean you won't get help at all.
The second person used is the generic second person.

The problem is that he is always in an offensive stance. I sadly am not proficient in programming and I was merely saying that it would be really cool if there WAS a good sandbox game. I did not say, "Why doesn't anyone make a decent sandbox game". I don't understand the concept of this forum. do you HAVE to be a computer programmer to be here or what?

Anyhow, I am just angry at the fact that I can't post my opinion without being reciprocated with sarcastic commentary. I really wish I could help out with something but I do not have the skill to do it.

Pick a stock map and start coding.  I've linked to all the stuff you need to get to work.

Look at the Hooville example.  Start by modifying that.

A Software Development Kit (SDK) is a fairly generic term. It generally implies some sort of software package, usually with library code, and perhaps examples to get started on developing something. As there is only one such "SDK" around here, we simply refer to it as "the SDK". Not to be confused with other acronymns.

SDK download: http://www.outpost-universe.net/files/coding/op2_dllsdk.zip
CodeBlocks homepage: http://www.codeblocks.org/
CodeBlocks setup info: http://wiki.outpostuniverse.net/Compiler_Setup
(Note: Somebody recently posted a tutorial on setting up MSVC for use with the SDK, so if you'd rather use that, you can.)

MSVC Compiler (not the MSVC IDE): http://www.outpost-universe.net/files/codi...oolkit-base.msi
(This is on the CodeBlocks setup page, but I figured I may as well post it here anyways.)
Thanks for the links, I'm going to take a look into them and see what I can do.

Oh and I'M BACK. Rawr. :3

Right before I stole CK9's Thor's Hammer Assault Rifle I realize you made this thread and thus have every right to bump it, especially with such a relevant post.

Welcome back, Conestoga.

Thank you, I'll copy what is written on that guide and save it onto my external harddrive to read when I have the time.
