"I was just out walking my rat and I seem to have lost my way" - James Bond in Diamonds are forever
yup it works now
ZachHudock - February 7, 2008 - 6:23pmyup it works now
The developer formerly known as ZGitRDun8705
Now for testing the app: 1.
ZachHudock - February 7, 2008 - 6:41pmNow for testing the app:
1. It works great
2. Nothing is left behind
3. It's a little odd that the close and maximize buttons are disabled
4. Good job
The developer formerly known as ZGitRDun8705
about 3
Simeon - February 7, 2008 - 6:45pmI thought that too. But thats the way it is. Its has a full screen mode and you can specify the size of the window via additional parameters if you want.
about 4:
Thanks

By design, sadly
Keilaron - February 9, 2008 - 7:47pm#3:
Unfortunately, at the moment, the close button has to be disabled as in Windows it causes the game to hang. We're not entirely certain why, but it should be fixed in a few versions.
As for the maximize button being disabled, atanks does not properly handle being resized just yet (even through the menus - you have to restart the game), but that should be fixed in a future version as well.
It's a great game still, I
ZachHudock - February 9, 2008 - 7:50pmIt's a great game still, I just found that part a little odd. Great to hear that it's being worked on though. Thanks for the great application, and welcome to PortableApps.com

Long time lurker :o
Keilaron - February 22, 2008 - 7:35pmYeah, and it felt odd having to do it. Thankfully most people don't seem to mind too much.
Oh, I've been around a while... as a lurker ;>
Welcome
Simeon - February 10, 2008 - 5:20amIts always nice to have the developer show up here.
Thanks for the clarification and I'm looking forward to the new version
"I was just out walking my rat and I seem to have lost my way" - James Bond in Diamonds are forever
I
really don't care about resize or maximize... I just like to play the game... but what is a needed feature is a scroll bar in the weapons selections, unless you have a scroll wheel mouse you'll not notice you have more options (in a laptop is uncommon to use mouse), and at least in my case, I discover it by accident...
If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port,
and the bus is interrupted as a very last resort,
and the address of the memory makes your floppy disk abort,
then the socket packet pocket has an error to report
What about the arrows?
Keilaron - February 22, 2008 - 7:32pmI've mentioned this on the forum, but it seems to me that the arrows should make it obvious that you have more options.
mmmm
I never saw those arrows... have to check

I used it
Simeon - February 25, 2008 - 3:41amlike 10 times without using the arrows but at some point I realised that the others have these weird weapons I never saw in my list and then I found the arrows

Great!!!
Downloading and testing... reporting tomorrow...
/me is happy
EDIT: I couldn't wait, hehe... tested on Vista Home Premium, everything excelent.. going to test on XP in a while...
BTW, since the game stores settings on its same folder, I think Data folder is not necessary.

Im glad you like it :)
Simeon - February 8, 2008 - 7:13amBTW, since the game stores settings on its same folder, I think Data folder is not necessary.
It shouldn't. It should store the settings in the Data folder. Otherwise it wouldn't be paf compliant...
"I was just out walking my rat and I seem to have lost my way" - James Bond in Diamonds are forever
well
I think that some apps here don't have the data folder (i.e. Sumatra?)
BTW, tested on XP... love it... works perfect...
Thanks a lot...

Simeon - February 8, 2008 - 4:31pmsome Apps (md5sum for example) don't need one so they don't have one
Youre welcome
glad you like it. I do too.

Simeon - February 8, 2008 - 4:46pmyou just haven't discovered the fun
"I was just out walking my rat and I seem to have lost my way" - James Bond in Diamonds are forever
Looks Interesting...
I've been meaning to look for a 2D version of Scorched Earth, so I'll definitely give this a try & get back to you on Monday.
Pardon the plug, but you may want to check out Scorched 3D at http://www.scorched3d.co.uk for some 3D action (& yes, it's an open source game... so somebody could make it portable when they have the time).
~TStodden
Good to Go!
Despite a few control issues (Tip: Hit the "Help" button on the menu before playing), it worked just fine.
I say it's definitely good to go public!
~TStodden
Me too
release it...

Simeon - February 11, 2008 - 5:47pmI'm glad you guys like it. Lets hope John sees this...
"I was just out walking my rat and I seem to have lost my way" - James Bond in Diamonds are forever
Well, I'll test it...
...on my slow desktop, if it passes that I think it's ready. although, with dial-up it may be awhile on the download...
edit: It works! Very fun, too. It would be a great addition to PortableApps. The only problem I had was if I hit enter on the player select screen, it would load the game, but not show any on the tanks. Most linkly not an issue, and a glich in the game code itself.
FREAKING iTUNES TOOK MY MONEY!!!
version 2.8 is ready
Simeon - February 23, 2008 - 5:58amplease check it out.
See main post for details...
"I was just out walking my rat and I seem to have lost my way" - James Bond in Diamonds are forever
I've tested it.
Works great. I think it's ready for a beta release.
FREAKING iTUNES TOOK MY MONEY!!!
thanks
Simeon - February 24, 2008 - 6:03pmI think so too. AFAIK the next step would be a public release but that's up to John.
"I was just out walking my rat and I seem to have lost my way" - James Bond in Diamonds are forever
ready for prime time
sylikc - March 26, 2008 - 5:42pmIn terms of usability and saving settings and stuff, I think this is ready for prime time. I love allt he modes and settings in the game itself, and it's pretty simplistic.
I do encounter problems from time to time using highest settings moving between PCs, so I usually set it to the medium, where it works for all PCs
Great job!

Fails to Run
Strife89 - February 25, 2008 - 8:57amI got version 2.7 to run ONCE on a friend's laptop, but since then, on every computer I've tried (reinstalled 2.7 and just tried 2.8 ), I can't get it to work. Before, I got to the main menu, but then the program would not respond. Now, I get the development splash screen, but then, nothing.
Assistance, anyone?

weird
Simeon - February 25, 2008 - 9:26amWhat happens if you try a clean install (delete the ATAnksPortable and then reinstall)?
I experienced some weird things like a black window for 20 seconds but I think that´s due to me running Windows virtually.
"I was just out walking my rat and I seem to have lost my way" - James Bond in Diamonds are forever
Yeah, it's weird....
Strife89 - February 25, 2008 - 5:33pmThat's actually what I tried (a clean install)- several times too. Even re-downloaded the paf.exe. Today, On yet another laptop, I extracted the program to the desktop, rather than to my drive, and it ran. I then closed the program (properly), moved the folder to my drive, and successfully ran it from there, too. (That was version 2.7, though.)
So, I'm really not sure. I'll try running it again.

Great work.
porterkm (Homepage) - February 25, 2008 - 7:30pmI works great. I have no problems with it and everything seems to be in order.

Not working for me?
I must have done something wrong. I removed the files and than reinstalled.
The window shows up but nothing in it. If I move it around the screen I get some things to 'draw' (Play, OK, BACK)
Running Windows 2000 sp4
weird
Simeon - March 29, 2008 - 7:05amLooks like some kind of grphic-related not-refreshing thing.
I never had that, but I never tried on Win 2k. Maybe someone else with Win 2000 can try?
I just saw that they released 2.9
Maybe I can get the upadte out this week. Lets hope they fixed the bug
"I was just out walking my rat and I seem to have lost my way" - James Bond in Diamonds are forever
Hes right
Stevoisiak - April 4, 2008 - 11:08am2.9 is out. Update it please. Also, this is just like pocket tanks, but free!

Works on XP for Me
Ok so I know this game works now because I just tried it on WIN XP pro. So I guess WIN 2000 is the loser lol
Great game. Let me know if I can do anything to test against WIN 2000.
Updated to 2.9
Simeon - April 7, 2008 - 8:46amPlease test on Vista and Win 2000.
I also hope this fixes the bugs some had.
"I was just out walking my rat and I seem to have lost my way" - James Bond in Diamonds are forever
WIN 2000
Deleted old version...reinstalled...still didn't work.
If I move the window around it draws some of the buttons but I can't click any of them.
Missing Weapons
Devo - April 8, 2008 - 2:20pmI don't know if this is a problem with the launcher or atanks. When I updated to the new version, some of my weapons from a saved game are gone (funky death is really the only one I've noticed). Also there are new weapons (i.e., funky bomblet, funky deathlet) that when shot fall through the bottom of the screen/window endlessly. The only way to continue the game is to quit and restart. Any ideas?
Edit: I did a little more research and it looks like it is a atanks problem, not the launcher. One thing that the launcher could do is have the ability to delete old saved games that are no longer needed.
yes
Simeon - April 10, 2008 - 5:26amthey added new weapons. Didn't know that they removed some too. IN their forum they say that there might be bugs coming with the new weapons...
How should the Launcher know that they aren't needed any more? I'd rather not start deleting stuff in the Data folder.
