I've been disconnected from the net since early this morning… or was it yesterday? Can't remember.
Either way, when that kind of thing happens, I get stuff done. And things get stuffed up too.I added two weapons to the game. The first is one that I wanted to add in Exile, but was too afraid to attempt to draw back then:
So yeah. Crossbow. Yay.And then there's the gauntlet I'm working on:
This is going to double as both a fallback melee weapon and the primary spellcasting tool. On the topic of stuffing things up, I kinda screwed up a part of my editor; the bit that allows me to change the height of floors/ceilings in 3D mode. I had a buggy bit of raycast code that was testing where the camera was pointing, and decided to replace it with a simple two-pass color based test. Works (in a broken kinda way) like this:
- Render visible scene in solid colors. Each unique object to be considered gets a unique color corresponding to its location on the screen. - Get pixel from mouse location (Or crosshair location in this case) - Use color data to determine what was selected and where it is.And this works. Perfectly. I can get the exact x and y coordinates of the tile I'm pointing at with pixel precision. So I happily go and replace the raycast test with the results from this? My editor does something funky to the coordinates and decided that no, I'm pointing at the square at a 45 degree angle to the right and slightly away from me, if I'm lucky.Probably a rounding error, but I'm too tired right now to track it down.
i hate having to rely on keyboard shortcuts, not only do I forget them but i wouldn't be able to expect anyone else to use it and remember them either. it's nice to have them but i think a good GUI is pretty important for these types of editors :P
Sure, but this editor is just a personal tool. I don't expect anybody to try use it, and the time spent developing a GUI is better spent developing the game itself. :P
Awesome looking crossbow! More games need crossbows. I love crossbows!
So much so that I started working on this:Your link 403'd. :P
Should be fixed!
Nope.
THERE. ARE YOU HAPPY NOW?!
Because I am. :)
