iSnow Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Lighting is a great idea. Will it use an overlay and can we use set light points? The system should use an overlay it resizes based on how bright the light was designated and probably RGB coloring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Janes Posted November 9, 2012 Author Share Posted November 9, 2012 Right now it uses one great big overlay, the math for the size of the overlay PNG is picScreen width * 2 + tile size. Similar for the height as well. This is just one possible method, I went this way because it's the easiest but also the most CPU friendly. The other option would be to loop through x = 1 to map.maxx and the same for the y, determine what tiles should have a black mask rendered over them and which ones would be a light source, then render the PNG. The last option would be the same as this but cache the light sources to have on mindless loops, that may be my route in the future. My method only renders a single png that moves according to the players offset position, versus rendering a black mask over each tile, it's more of a convenient method. Because of this, there's only the 1 light source possible. If I get the developer spot I'll likely add pixel based lighting to EO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geonode Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 can u only edit options in the main menu?it's a real inconvenience if u cant change music and sound without loggin out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Janes Posted November 9, 2012 Author Share Posted November 9, 2012 Right now…yes, there was a GUI button to do it from the main game but it didn't fit in the new interface, I'll hopefully get someone to make a new UI (hint hint) anyone...and it'll have a button then.

Geonode Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 I'll be willing to do that after it's release. Though I might be convincing myself to use the transparent UI.Question 2:What happened to the main town - _ -. I loved creating other places using that place as a start-off.Question 3:What is that box in the center-top of the screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Janes Posted November 9, 2012 Author Share Posted November 9, 2012 Anyone with a bit of vb knowledge will be able to modify the source with very little work to add UI elements with Alpha channels, I kept most elements as win32 components to keep a common denominator for people with or without programming experience looking to create a game.

Rob Janes Posted November 9, 2012 Author Share Posted November 9, 2012 The main town got destroyed when I made changes to the way maps were saved and loaded and some map attributes.That top bar is where map names will appear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Janes Posted November 9, 2012 Author Share Posted November 9, 2012 Whoever wants to do a UI is more than welcome! You can easily see the existing UI in the data files\graphics\gui and \interface\ an you could build upon those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zetasis Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 I really just need to know what buttons and other key UI elements and I'll see what I can do. Like I said though, I'm not that great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Model Karlie Kloss (pictured at left) set off some controversy when she walked the runway wearing a Native American headdress (also called a war bonnet), a culturally insensitive faux pas that led the company to pull the footage of the offending outfit from its planned Dec. 4 broadcast.Several Native American groups called the lingerie company out for the blunder. Native Appropriations, a blog covering imagery of indigenous cultures, accused the retailer of "egregious cultural appropriation, stereotyping, and marginalizing of Native peoples." Ruth Hopkins, a columnist for a Native American news site, wrote that "after years of patronage and loyalty to the Victoria's Secret brand, I am repaid with the mean-spirited, disrespectful trivialization of my blood ancestry and the proud Native identity I work hard to instill in my children." Putting a headdress on a white model is particularly offensive, she wrote, because among the Sioux tribe, war bonnets are exclusively worn by men, with each feather symbolizing an act of valor.The $12 million show, which had musical performances by Rihanna, Justin Bieber and Bruno Mars, showcased plenty of not-meant-to-be worn ensembles, including circus-themed outfits and a $2.5 million "fantasy bra." Last year the show averaged nearly 10.4 million viewers, up from 8.9 million in 2010, according to Horizon Media. (This year's show was taped on Nov. 7 and is set to air Dec. 4.)Kloss, who walked the catwalk in a leopard bikini, turquoise beaded jewelry, high-heeled moccasins, and a floor-length feathered headdress (with the word "Thanksgiving" projected on a screen behind her), issued an apology via her Twitter account on Sunday: "I am deeply sorry if what I wore during the VS Show offended anyone. I support VS's decision to remove the outfit from the broadcast."Victoria's Secret, owned by Limited Brands (LTD) also apologized on Twitter, and issued a statement: "We are sorry that the Native American headdress replica used in our recent fashion show has upset individuals. We sincerely apologize as we absolutely had no intention to offend anyone. Out of respect, we will not be including the outfit in any broadcast, marketing materials nor in any other way."Whether the controversy will put any kind of dent in Victoria's Secret's sales is questionable. By apologizing and pulling the offending clip from the show, the company addressed the goof quickly, so the damage will likely be minimal, says Brad Adgate, director of research at Horizon Media. With a presence in nearly every shopping mall in the country, it's the biggest specialty retailer for intimate apparel. In 2011 Limited Brands sales sales increased $751 million to $10.364 billion, while Victoria's Secret Stores sales rose $601 million to $6.121 billion.The lingerie seller isn't alone among big-name retailers accused of insensitivity. There was a fair amount of anger aimed at American Apparel, which sent an e-mail blast to customers during Hurricane Sandy for a 20% off sale for people living in the affected states, with a tagline that read "In case you're bored during the storm."The headdress gaffe also — oddly – comes soon after the band No Doubt pulled its music video last week after getting complaints that it was insensitive to Native Americans. In the video for "Looking Hot," band members dress up in stereotypical cowboys and Indians attire.Related Quotes:LTD 46.43 -0.05 (-0.11%) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Janes Posted November 13, 2012 Author Share Posted November 13, 2012 I'll look into it no Codey,DMF, it's not nccesarily a bug if it's switching your window style, or perhaps I don't fully understand but by the sounds of it, it's a conflict of having two games open and one of them impacting your windows Magical Aeroplane settings.
