It has been a long time since I last posted gusanos news. ( Not because nothing happened, but because I am lazy )
So here is the news:
LigaLiero members Wesz, Guth and Jerrec have just released this very nice mod called promode, its highly inspired by one of my favourite Liero total conversions LieroPromode. ( fast movement and very balanced weapons )
More importantly this mod adds some things that were heavily lacking in gusanos default mod and most of the other mods made up to date: Fraglimits and Timelimit! ( plus a lot of other new stuff like a new more functional menu, a voting system, spectator mode, etc )
You can get the mod here: http://pordesign.eu/promode/
More information and screenshots here: http://comser.robal.org/forum/index.php/topic,640.0.html
The people at the Liga Liero forums are organising the first ever International Gusanos Tournament, and are looking for some Liero/Gusanos players to join in.
Rather than using the default mod, the tournament will be played using the WH mod which is made by the Polish person, Jerac. They are using this mod because it's the only "good balanced netplay friendly mod and it's fun to play, too".
There will be around 10-15 people from the Liga Liero forum playing and they are looking to see how many people will join from the Comser forum. If your interested please post in this thread or if your Polish enough you can post on on the LL forums ;)
More information will be probably be announced when there is a more definite number on the number of people that are playing.

The long awaited Gusanos .9c is finally released!
This is mostly a bugfixing version but there's a few great new features such as automatic map downloading from servers. Read the ChangeLog to find out exactly what has changed.
NOTE: Modders should look carefully at the "Backwards compatibility issues" section in the ChangeLog because there's a few things that has to be changed in all .9b mods. This means mods done for 0.9b wont work correctly on 0.9c untill modders update their respective mods.
Download from any of these places:

Today is a jolly good day, we're all teary eyes and shakey smiles, but we're not on crack. The reason for such retarded-looking faces is that the kR15t|\/|45 5p1R17 has struck us hard, and you and I know kR15t|\/|45 is all about presents. So we magically give you the mightiest sparkly-twinkly gift you could've asked for (or not): GUSANOS 0.9 Beta is Coming to Town!
</SillyIntro>
Among other goodness this release includes:
With the news of the release, we decided to make some Gusanos videos.
They both feature netplay with the laggy basara. :) (about 300 ping because he is from Argentina)
Gusanos Manipulator Video - basara and Gliptic were trying to throw stuff around with the manipulator.
Gusanos Netplay Video - Just an ordinary deathmatch which Gliptic won. :( Gliptic and basara have colours in thier names (you can put them in chat too, like q3) but the names can't have colours yet.
We will probably make some more video's later, with more players, and maybe on some of the mods developers have made.
They are hosted on Google Video - Enjoy!
Not yet atleast, but instead, here is a video of the new lights in Gusanos .9
A few things to note:
Gusanos .9 is starting to take its most playable shape.
What I can remember that was done:
ComSer's host wen't down because no-one payed for the free service. Sorry for any inconvenience! :-*
Here is a new update for you to enjoy and to show that we do have been working all this time. However gusanos will still not be released tomorrow.
Stuff that has been added since last update:
Han Clinto has made a nice Launcher for Gusanos 0.8. It features a players key changer, map and mod selection, easy way of hosting and joining online games and some more features. It will probably be helpful for all those who dont like messing with files to configure gusanos :).
You can get it here ( The sourcecode is included ).
Welcome to the new site which now uses the mysql database that is provided by SourceForge. (and because of which the site has been nicknamed gusql)
One of the best features of the new site is that now each download and screenshot has a thumbnail so you can see what you are downloading before you are downloading it. (one of sk|P's suggestions ;o) You can also now search the downloads and order them by the number of downloads, name, author etc.
Another feature is that now the site steals the news from the Liero Community Service forum where the gusanos forum is based. (CSF for short) This was done for ease of use and you can now comment on the news. :D
For now, if you would like your level or mod to be hosted at the site you will have to email me (jonnys5k at gmail dot com) or even better yet you can post it at the gusanos forum. However, due to the webspace limits we have at sourceforge some levels or mod's may get deleted to make space.
Also, for everyone that had thier levels hosted here before could you re-submit them because I don't remember who made all the levels I have here. :(
Gliptic, the creator of LOSP, and I have decided to merge both projects aiming for a much better and polished game, aswell as much faster development. In case you didnt know LOSP, its main features are that it has the same exact physics liero had ( Gliptic had reverse engineered the original Liero 1.33).
The name of the project will remain being Gusanos but the engine will be completely new ( using lots of parts of what I have done for gusanos .9 already ) Gliptic will merge to gusanos almost all of the original Liero physics and some other LOSP technology :)
First I will inform that gusanos version 0.9 will be a complete rewrite of the game code, I will try to enhance every aspect of the game this time. This is good news if you want a much better gusanos but bad news if you want next version to be released tomorrow.
My vacations started a few days ago and I have already been able to write some code of the new engine.
Anyway, this are some of the new features I will try to implement for 0.9:
The Gusanos mod COG by Jonny has taken the world by surprise.
Therefor i have created a short movie with clips from me and jonny combatting in COG.
[color=Teal]Anyone may download it here: ftp://cog:download@ulv.ath.cx[/color]
More information and comments in this thread
Since it turned out that network play for more then 2 players was broken in 0.8 a new version is released with a temporary fix for this bug, this fix however makes kill msgs not work well instead (of crashing..).
There are some a few more features added in 0.8.1 such as a score board- accessible with F1, extended console- accesible by pressing Page Up\Down in console, and thats it till 0.9. ;>
Get it from the download section (gusanos-0.8.1.rar), Enjoy!
The leader of the Samuraj Gusanos clan (ulv, now national hero of cacolandia) has made some good, clear, comprehensive and nice looking tutorials for different gusanos useage issues. Go and read them here. The turorials include a nice way to make material images for gusanos levels with photo shop :).
I have also added 1 nice map made by TTFTCUTS called Oilrig to the levels section.
Have a nice day!
After a long wait GUSANOS 0.8b is finally out. Thankyou to all those who helped in the testing of the software, and those who contributed code or comments to improve GUSANOS. A big thanks also goes out to those who have been patient waiting for the new release of GUSANOS, you will not be disappointed.
Many new features have been added into 0.8 such as network support, dynamic lights, flowing water, various weapon effects, health/weapon crates and a minimap. GUSANOS now also fully supports GNU/Linux systems, and should be portable to many other platforms.
A big thanks also goes out to SourceForge.net who nows hosts GUSANOS. You do a great job SourceForge!
Dont forget to check the mod TS that comes included in the package. ;)
Enjoy!
Gusanos is still alive. It has new cool features such as flowing water and dynamic lighting.
I've put the site back after a short period of oblivion. The old server ate our files right after their decision to stop supporting free accounts (yeah, we can't afford decent hosting).
Anyway, the important stuff here is that the project is halted, but still breathing. Basara wants you all to know he will continue with the developing of GUSANOS after he gives up on his addiction to Natural Selection. In the meantime, we invite you to spend your time trying to touch your nose with your tongue. Good luck!
It!
Basara has just finished his work on the new version of GUSANOS, planned for the new year eve.
The new version (0.5) supports mods, has a nice weapons selection menu (you may pick up to five weapons, as in Liero), has ammo and reloading and is awfuly optimized.
In the downloads section you'll find the new version plus a few extras. Make sure you don't miss the mods.
On other news, we have a complete site revamp. I hope you like the new design (though it's very much based on the old one).
Also, we'll soon be moving over to our very own domain (projectgusanos.com.ar, not there yet) and a brand new host, courtesy of Juegos Alkon.
Happy new year to everyone, and may the year 2004 suck less.
After a long long wait, here's a sparkling new version of GUSANOS, 0.4, featuring a bunch of jolly good improvements and new shit.
This time around we've got a fully functional console with loads of commands, including one that lets you bind any command to any number of keys (meaning key configuration).
There are also some very nice new features in the particles system, allowing particles to be pushed by explosions. This, combined with a little of imagination can produce 'top of cool' weapons, just check out the new weapon called "vacoom".
Well, boys and girls, we hope you will enjoy it till you choke and die. Now proceed to the downloads section.
Yay!
Oh, and there's a console now.
If you thought 0.1 was good, get ready cuz... here's GUSANOS 0.2!
This new release features lots of additions to the engine, bug fixes, a new map, many new weapons and lots more madness and coolness. Coolness sounds gay though.
There's a more detailed changelog included in the "readme file", download first.
I almost swallow a worm today, seriously.
After some time and a total rewrite of the game, here's GUSANOS 0.1, ready to be seen.
This time the engine was written in C++ and using the Allegro games library.
This version is already very playable, and many tests revealed it's quite fast (above 100 FPS) even on very slow 'puters (250 Mhz CPUs).
