What are you working on? :D

[annikk.exe]

EverSwarm was successful in addressing some very complicated problems like creating a field of asteroids that are all interconnected.  However there _is_ a pattern to the levels it generates, and there is room for improvement.  Dig in!  Ask questions if you're unsure of anything in the Everswarm code.. :>

I fixed a bug with the cube - one of the faces was misdeclared.  I've also enabled all the faces now, and there is definitely something still wrong with the vertex visibility.
Going to have a think about it tonight.

Good job annikk, and I'll see what I can do with EverSwarm

Thanks for letting me use it I guess then

Edit: Ugghh, been working on the SFX part for my adventure map, and it's only halfway done... I haven't even tested it :/

But I have all day

[Aino]

Now it is done, it worked on the first try, so I'm really happy... Now to the quest, but school first

[annikk.exe]

So vertex visibility is totally fixed and working now.  The only thing left to do for it, is looking like it's going to be the hardest part so far.  That is, checking whether a vertex that is detected inside a face is further away from the camera than the face itself.

That will involve finding the equation for a plane based on 3 coordinates, and finding the intersection between a line and a plane in the 3D system.  I found some videos about that last night and it is definitely not trivial looking stuff..

Need ideas for quests

Got theese on my mind:

- A classic killblow, simpole gathering army and stuff...
- Fighting a "castle", which has many minions at it's disposial...
- Dunno D:

[annikk.exe]

Destroy as many crates as possible within 30 seconds.
Gather X amount of resources within a given time.
Rescue the baby dragon from the clutches of the evil princess!

Dunno..

[Aino]

Ughh...

Annikk, this is about my adventure mode ghameplay for Eufluria

So gathering more units than the enemies(faster too) could be a sub-challenge(like in-game...)

[annikk.exe]

But you have crates, right?  I think that there should be crates.  :>

[Aino]

I don't think there is any crates in Eufloria D:

Eufloria! Y U NO have crates?!

[annikk.exe]

Eufloria does indeed lack crates.
But not for long... :>

[Aino]

Why so?

We've gone from on topic to off topic already xD

[Aino]

Working on quests, beginning the map with some fancy "newbie" maps, which will test your skills somehow, after that you'll get random missions

Code: [Select]

function CreateMainQuest()

if MissionsDone == 0 then

MissionID = "beginner"
MissionObjective = "Gather 100 seedlings without dying"
MapType = "classic"

elseif MissionsDone == 1 then

MissionID = "proving"
MissionObjective = "Kill all three enemies without dying"
MapType = "triangle"

elseif MissionsDone == 2 then

MissionID = "testing"
MissionObjective = "Defend from waves without loosing any asteroids for 5 mins"
MapType = "fortress"

else

MissionID = "random"
MissionObjective = "not determined"
MapType = "random"

end

end
Looking good? Mind that that is actually directly from the code xD

[annikk.exe]

Looks interesting.. :>  And sounds complicated!  Hope you've spent lots of time planning it...  I am a big fan of planning, as you can probably tell from the amount of stuff I've written about the 3D engine.  :P

Try generating  fractal patern of roids.

Try generating  fractal patern of roids.

You mean using a tree fractal like this?

… I really need to find the time to finish that at some point.
