Welcome to Giants World Domination, the most dedicated Giants
Citizen Kabuto source on the Internet! Browse through the latest news below to
see what's new in the Giants community. If you're new to Giants and looking
for some multiplayer action, you'll need to download the 1.5
Patch.
With that said, we'd like to announce the upcoming release of something better.
GiantsHook is an ongoing project that utilizes the power of DLL hooks to allow us to change the core behavior of Giants on multiple levels. Utilizing this power, the following features have either been completed, or are in active development
• Dynamic shadows on just about every object in the game.
• Dynamic lighting cast by projectiles, explosions, and other similar things.
• Further enhanced water effects.
• More high resolution textures.
• A slew of assorted fixes for everything ranging from the game crashing when minimized in windowed mode, to making the game properly generate mipmaps.
• A new Giants.ini file allows you to pick and chose which individual features you want to use at any given time.
With that said, we're looking for people to help us test it. By test it, I mean actually test it. If you've been around for a while, and are known to be completely trustworthy feel free to drop us a line expressing that you'd like to take part - but please don't bother unless you have some interest in actually helping.
Want to make some suggestions as to something you'd like to see in it? Feel free, but keep them reasonable.
GiantsWD will be moving to a different account in the next few days due to our host's inability to upgrade the current hosting package. I am expecting a few script snafu's, but overall the transfer should be smooth and without incident.
2:21AM: Server move complete! If you encounter bugs, please report them in the forum.
We're not all that active anymore in the community, but we still care what goes on in our server. Any and all screenshots/videos/etc showing someone to be cheating should be sent to us immediately via private message on the forum. All reports will be kept confidential.
We've made a modification to the forum to prevent spammers from signing up. In light of this change, I'll be purging the forum of all inactive members (mostly spammers) this Wednesday, the 18th. If you'd like to keep your account, be sure your post count is greater than 1.
Effective immediately, the GWD Dedicated Server has been modified to automatically kick anyone who drops over one hundred packets in a single session.
Please note that these are only kicks - not bans. If nothing else, they can be considered to be motivation for people to correct whatever connectivity issues might plague them.
Please note that this is still being tested, so if the server goes into a violent rage for seemingly no reason and tries to kill you... Its nothing personal. Probably.
It's that great time of the year again when we purge the forum of all inactive members. If you're interested in keeping your GiantsWD account intact, post a relevant reply to any topic or just throw out a shoutout here:
I've posted another article in the forum for you all to enjoy, they are newer tips on shielding. I've noticed that the players have gotten better, and with that I've learned some things from them.
So I present to you, some new things to consider during a duel. Go and enjoy: Click Here
