Pixel-based movement

[Eviltyphoon]

Well, I've been playing with the idea of starting a side-project of my own, since MyWorld will be using SE which isn't released yet, but I didn't want it to become some generic orpg like you can find loads of in the WIP board. So, one of the things I wanted to add was pixel based movement, and I've been looking at the source, but I'm stumped on how to begin with it.

So, all I'm asking is some hints on how to do this, I don't need a complete walkthrough, nor do I need all off the code changes. This will be my first (big) source mod, just to hone my skills a bit.

couldn't you use warps?, then modify the warp code?

like,

Key up,
CAll warp(get player x+1

No, you can't. Right now the movement is bound to tiles, and the coordinates of a player are bound to the tile he is one. If the player moves, it wil do X + 1, x -1, y + 1 or y -1, but those number refer to tiles. I need to find a way to disconnect player coordinates and movement from tiles.
What you suggest would just warp the player 1 tile in whatever direction x +1 is.

As i said, modify the warp code

Right now, the line for player movement looks like this:
```
Player(Index).yOffset = Player(Index).yOffset - SS_WALK_SPEED
```What do you suggest I change to get pixel-bsed movement…

no that's not it, it's mostly in the movement sub server side and the player draw sub

all are done like this x = x + 1
and in the draw sub
x * 32 (pic_x)

I've not  looked at the code but I am guessing it requires quite a source change, I would do a speed + velocity type thing to check everything and make sure the collision dectection is correct because more than likely that will change too.
