Rocket Golf Beta
Rocket Golf Beta
Rocket Golf for the mac is almost finished! Since It's already released on the iPhone and the major gameplay bugs are already squashed, I'm putting up a public beta for about a week.
Check it out at http://nuclearnova.com/rocketgolfbeta.zip
Please post all concerns here. Sorry, no serial number yet, I'm sending that to anyone who was previously signed up for the GL Golf Beta program.

Re: Rocket Golf Beta
Thanks Jake, it's a fun game, plays nicely and will take some mastering. Only thing I would mention as a tester is that the main menu (Quit, About, don't know what it's supposed to be called) is titled "Rocket Golf Golf" rather than just "Rocket Golf" as I would expect. MacOS 10.5.8, Intel iMac. Other than that, all works as I would expect.

Re: Rocket Golf Beta
Jake, I'm sorry to say that Rocket Golf is behaving just like the first versions of GL Golf 2.24. It quits when launched. Of course my OS is 12.4, the same OS that gave GL Golf 2.24 fits.

Re: Rocket Golf Beta
I have one or two pertinent additions to that which, heretofore, I hardly understand a word.
The information box in the left hand corner, which seems to me to be mostly irrelevant, HIDES the T-off ball most of the time. (Whether transparent or translucent, it is annoyingly there.)
Just because in real golf I never see what I'm hitting, here it could be helpful.
Also the "minimize/zoom' feature seems a bit askew - the zoom is redundant; the minimize does not go back far enough to show the entire distance to the hole at the end.
When and where, if ever, is wind a factor - ergo "no wind" seems to be a ridiculous piece of non-information.

Re: Rocket Golf Beta
Dave, unfortunately Rocket Golf requires 10.5 to play, I think thats causing the issues.
sanmarcos - Thanks for all the suggestions! I copied most of them down onto my 1.x too do list. Due to college starting up next week I probably won't get to many right away, but you know I'll be pumping out updates once every other month or so!
Neil - I'll look into the hidden shot, and I've noted your suggestions too.
Thanks guys!

Also, sanmarcos, did you test Rocket Classic or Dilemma Heights? I see lots of scores on Rocket but no new ones on Dilemma

Re: Rocket Golf Beta
I have now tested Dilemma, during my first round I suffered a crash as the ball dropped in the hole on 12, have sent you the output. Couldn't recreate it and successfully posted a score second time.
I also noticed a minor bug when hitting a mulligan out of sand - the arrow indicating previous shot does not take account of the fact that you can't use full power. Have sent a screen shot.

Sorry Jake. I just realized that RG requires OS 10.5

Re: Rocket Golf Beta
Thanks for the crash report. I'm not sure why the operating system even lets you open it if you don't have 10.5, it seems like it would tell you that instead of just crashing the program.

Re: Rocket Golf Beta
Will RG become available at a later date for 10.4.11 Mac's ?
Re: Rocket Golf Beta
Unfortunately I doubt it will be, Rocket Golf uses some 10.5+ specific code and I'm not exactly sure how to reprogram those parts using older technology.kjb723369051 wrote:Will RG become available at a later date for 10.4.11 Mac's ?
If you have an intel system I highly recommend 10.6, and if you have PPC 10.5 is definitely worth it if you can find it at a good price now that snow leopard is only $29.

I fully understand why you will not program the Rocket for Tiger. I'm one of those guys that still work with OS 9 (the original and not the classic) and I went screaming/kicking to go for Panther and then Tiger.
I do want to go for Leo but I am told that I should install Leo as a standalone on a different drive rather then updating from Tiger. Makes sense since I know there are several midi/audio sequencer programmes I own/use that will not launch in Leo and I don't have enough $$$$ to purchase Leo versions.

Re: Rocket Golf Beta
I remember switching from OS 9 to OS 10.1, then back to OS 9 , and then finally back to 10.2 because I felt it was finally stable/fast enough to make the jump.
Software updates can be a pain sometimes, it seems like every major version of OS X breaks some feature in GL Golf and other programs I use.

Re: Rocket Golf Beta
Well i'm with the SnowLeopard because it was super bargain at 30 bucks for a complete OS X from SteveJOBS .
The game is wierd and for that reason alone i'm enjoying it.
i think it needs some "artificial" players playing along side or interfering with the game.
Perhaps the "music" from GL Golf 226 could be ported over

Re: Rocket Golf Beta
Yeah $30 is great, no reason no to upgrade at that price.
I'm glad you are enjoying the game. Liquid Defense has a very high learning curve and for that reason and other ones I'm not sure of, it has sold absolutely terrible. I wish I could make it more mainstream after working full-time an entire summer on it, but I learned my lesson about what types of games are good to make for large market shareware.
Music... hum, you'd have to mute liquid defense and play GL Golf in the background I think
