Title: What's currently being work on..
Post by: Tomaseth on August 26, 2002, 04:09:48 am
I hope this isn\'t asking too much but I\'m rather curious as to what is in the focus of development right now. I\'m sure others are curious as well. Do you think it\'d be possible to hear a little about what\'s in the works?

Of course it isn\'t asking too much...

Coders are working on:

- the Inventory window, picking up items, equipping swords, that sort of thing.

-the Maya model converter which takes Maya files and converts them for use with Crystal Space.

-Character appearance customization screen (choose your face, hair, etc.)

3d/2d guys are working on Kran and Dermorian models, lots of weapons and objects, and the interiors of several buidings.

Rules team is working on the combat, magic and progression systems.

We\'re making good progress, but there is a lot to it.

Ill be posting pics sometime in the next 2 weeks...

The problem is I like to do details then continue on further parts of map... most level designers go the other way around ...basics first then touch it up.

as far as i know vengeance is a coder(although maybe somethin else i think he said he did that though), something i cant do at all  :D

he just took on the job as moderator because SOMEONE needed to do it.....

and moderator is a superior title not the other way around

venge is in engine coding i think, thats why he knows so much about programming :P

Yes, I am a member of the C++ engine team.  I coded a lot of the networking, almost all the database, chatting, buddy lists, guild commands, dice rolling, and so forth.  Right now I am splitting time between the combat engine and the Maya file converter.

No, I don\'t know why a \"moderator\" is only 4 stars and a dev team member is 6.

Now ask me if I care how many stars I have, tcd..  ;-)

Title: heh
Post by: Mephisto on August 26, 2002, 11:24:31 pm
heh, if he is moderator AND coder I think he deserves 6 stars instead of 4 ;)


Edit: whoa Vengance you posted that post seconds before mine   :O

Post by: Tomaseth on September 06, 2002, 08:30:32 pm
My best guess and the guess of others is some time in the month or two.

Who remembers the name of the dev thread where they posted a daily journal of the things that they coded or they worked on for that day or week?

I can\'t remember it, could a dev check on that because I thought that was a really helpful thread.

maybe a dev will start up another thread like that?

As we get very close to release of Molecular Blue, we can do that.  For now, the modelers are furiously modeling, the 2d people are working on alternate textures for our player models, and the Settings team is working on the dialogs spoken by NPCs.

The coding team is still working on inventory/equipping, day/night lighting, rain cycles, character customization window.  After those, there are only a few more things to do and we\'ll be ready.

Stay tuned!
