With one week put into the revival of Dawn of Envy I have some news on the progress. One goal of mine was to re-program the entire engine to optimize its speed and make the engine more versatile so more features can be easily added. Here's a screenshot of what I have so far:
What you are seeing is a mass production of workers gathering resources and the barracks are producing Rangers (Elite form of bowman). One great notable thing to consider is all of this is being done with a perfect FPS rate. It never dropped. With the fog of war system, 100+ trees in the area, the path finding and task management in each unit, the Production Queue's in progress in the main fort and the barracks (Only the selected building shows the queue list and production rate. There's two others not seen in the screenshot)… Everything runs smooth. I might also add this is not just occurring in my area, but in the enemy territory as well. I'll try to post more FPS tests with results appearing on screen next time. A demo should be available in a month or so if everything goes to plan.Things I'm working on today:- Adding food and farming- Mini-map for left side of hud (see empty space in screenshot above)I'm having a problem though and I'm wondering if anyone can help me on this. I need to find out how to delete a value in a queue that's on the bottom of the list. Queue's work last in first out if im not mistaken. Take a look at my screenshot above and look at the production log in the hud. If I right click my Ranger button it takes a Ranger off the list, but It takes a Ranger on the top of the list off which stops the production of that unit. I want to make it so it takes a ranger that is not in production (for example the one listed on the bottom of the list). Hope that made sense. If you can help please do. I'd appreciate it.
I CAN'T SEE ANYTHING
:runs into a wall:open your eyes?
lol, I think he means the screenshot is a bit dark. Perhaps you could lighten the FOW?
There's no difference!
:runs into the same wall:I could lighten it up I guess. My laptop has a brighter screen than most, so what I see is perfectly clear. Is it really that dark?
@PY -Running into walls is good for the soul.Tell me if it looks any better. Updated image.
It looks awesome.
Looks way better, I can make out what's going on much more clearly. Looks to be pretty sweet when finished =D
Hey, look, it's that CT fan again. Sup Glen.
