Overlord V1.40
-—————-

Overlord has been updated and now includes:

  • A mouse sensitivity slider.
  • A new (blue) ‘duel fire’ power-up.
  • Improved distribution of mission objects.

This update is free for existing users and is available through the PlingStore. If you bought a CD at Wakefield or the ROUGOL presentation, then the PlingStore code in the CD box may be used to download version 1.40.

I think you should put a link to PlingStore on your Overlord web site. And a link to your web site in your announcements! :)

I googled for Overlord and found your site, then had no idea what PlingStore was and had to google for that too. Then I downloaded it and it doesn’t work (can’t connect to server, I suspect it isn’t detecting a web proxy) but that’s not your problem!

FYI – PlingStore is supplied “as standard” with the Pi SD card image.

But, yes, it could do with a bit more exposure on other systems.

Hi Rik,
Thanks for your suggestion. I’ll add a link on the site to PingStore tonight

Did you get PlingStore to work? If not please e-mail me and I’ll speak to R-Comp to see if I can help get it working.

Regards,

Tony
