Eclipse Origins v2 Beta

[emblem]

If you do paperdoll that way, some items will render incorrectly.

If you're facing backwards, it'll draw the weapon infront of your armor for example.

=D

[Robin]

That's all down to your graphics, though. Depending on how you've got your paperdoll graphics set up you'll want a different rendering order.

[emblem]

Yeah, but it will need a different rendering order for each direction.
Like, if you draw your weapon behind you it'll only work for when you're facing backwards.

And we can't trim the graphics for the paperdoll down to fit the sprite, because it won't fit all the sprite/equipment combinations.

Then create a rendering order. It's open source for a reason. xD

[emblem]

But then it'll look ugly! D:
We need a robin solution. xD

the reason being that all he has to do is the minimum

Yeah I know, I've always hated paperdoll because you need an ugly chunk of code for such a simple yet needed feature and was hoping robin could think of a workaround.

[shadowwulf]

I am sure that if someone made a fix of feature simple yet awesome enough, and very well needed for any project, Robin would add it with credit. But I have yet too see such a suggestion. Robin has everything covered so far…

Except Lighting. Any plans there Robin?
I have a feeling you might be looking into alpha blending or something before tackling a lone feature such as lighting.

Only if Fabio or Jake programmed it. No offence, but I trust Eclipse's programming skills about as far as I can throw the internet.

It's DD7\. So no.

[Homicidal Monkey]

who was Jake?

[Devogen]

lighting is easy if you use fastblit.

[Harris6310]

I was just looking through the change log and this Engine is amazing. Best on the internet.

Dugor. A lot of stuff in Origins is his work.

[Harris6310]

How close are you to the milestone release?

-shrug-

[Harris6310]

Is there a list of the features you want to get done for the milestone release?

[Robin]

No. It's all in my head. I don't have a milestone release planned, I'll just know when it's time to release it.

I had huge items like that labeled as two-handed. then had the weapon blt on up and down and had them contained in an if statement. Case up if twohanded then blt first, case down if twohanded then blt last. or something like that.

I can't wait for the new release robin ^___^

[ENIGMAX]

i have to say sweet design… :P

[shadowwulf]

Once the new map system is in and released I think ill stay away from the forums outside bug reports on it. I need to get something solid soon…

How the devil do you handle setting the Class Graphics?

@Azkanan:

> How the devil do you handle setting the Class Graphics?

The classes file like always. It just has a glitch where the preview image doesnt change unless you press the arrows.

[azkanan]

Ah, but there are two numbers (1,2 | 2,3 | 3,4, etc). what do they mean?

Pure guess: Male/Female?

[Irhymer]

No. It allows you to choose from multiple sprites when you make your character. So if you leave it with just 1 then it will be the same sprite. Now if you have 2,3\. You can press the arrows when choosing that class to pick between the 2 sprites.

It just adds more variety in an easier way then EE's custom feature, IMO.
