I saw that, but my game is quite different though. It's more of a team game without any leaders (just 2 classes).

by **sdzen** » Mon Mar 12, 2012 22:01

whats the changes?

by **lkjoel** » Mon Mar 12, 2012 22:36

of this project to Jordach's project? Mine is more of a war between 2 different kinds of people, secret agents and ninjas. It also will be patched up a lot for the extra features :)

by **sdzen** » Tue Mar 13, 2012 00:50

i know i mean your branch

by **lkjoel** » Tue Mar 13, 2012 01:22

oh ok. It has pretty much all of the mods applied from Jachoo's minetest branch (not minetest-jachoo, just minetest), except for the extended block selector mod (which I'm thinking of adding too). It also contains many of Krisi's mods, the Anaglyph mod (using my patch to it, of course), and a few others (to which I forgot the name).

cool when can i switch between models? or pick a class?

by **lkjoel** » Tue Mar 13, 2012 04:47

Not yet... Still working on it. I'm trying to figure out which cpp file accesses and changes the player info (the class will be server-side).

by **lkjoel** » Wed Mar 14, 2012 20:32

Ok, it works now. Once a server using the latest build is running, close it, open up (datadir)/.minetest/world/players/PLAYERNAME, and switch clan and playerimage to what you want.
Values are: 0 = normal (random guy on the street), 1 = secret agent, 2 = ninja. Change clan to the value, then change playerimage to: mt_VALUE.png
Tell me what you think :)

btw, sd, I'm going to change the secret agent bitmap just a bit because there are 2 bald spots on his head...

oow i didnt see it now but now its evident

by **sdzen** » Wed Mar 14, 2012 20:48

need any new textures?

by **lkjoel** » Wed Mar 14, 2012 21:27

Yes! But not 3D player textures. I'm going to write a lua interface so that we can add metadata to it, adding a cool preview image. What I need is some sort of a more real-life looking (manga, person, cartoon, anything!) image. This is to show to the player when he/she is selecting his/her class. The image you give will be displayed without any changes (maybe scaling, but that's it), so don't give a 3D player bitmap :P

by **sdzen** » Wed Mar 14, 2012 21:29

okay can do :P ive been working on my computer cartoons!

by **lkjoel** » Wed Mar 14, 2012 21:44

awesome! btw, how do you like the code? does it work?

by **Death Dealer** » Wed Mar 14, 2012 21:51

I like ace of spades:P no offense i think what your doing is cool, minetest isnt fluid enough for me, it lags just a bit, witch for me would make me mad playing any fps, because for some reason i think if it hadnt of lagged i you have killed the dude. this would be nice maybe for a future release i think when server can take commands faster, even as awesome as ace of spades is its very limited to how far down you can dig, for good reason. with 30 peple on one map shooting blocks away, digging and building thats about the limits wit still keeping gameplay nice.
Hadnt said anything on this thread yet thought i put my 2 cents in^_^

by **lkjoel** » Wed Mar 14, 2012 21:53

actually, the server does slow down with my code, because it sends at least 1 extra byte every call, and every call, it calculates a lot of stuff (using stringstream, notorious for it's slowness), so that's why it's slower :)

it is, and thats the funny side though, no one knows about ace of mt so, great plan, wanna see a windows build sometime.

i put my quarters in :D

by **sdzen** » Wed Mar 14, 2012 21:56

i think you should pursue adding a command like /join_clan ninja or /join_clan secret_agent that can change it in game i still like you hp idea and i would love more weapons throwing knives shotgun machine gun machette and thrown exploding weapons! my person is in the process of being de derpified :P

by **sdzen** » Wed Mar 14, 2012 22:07

okay all ive got is a head

Actually, it's going to be in the pause menu (Switch Clan), and at the beginning of the game (or joining the server).
Yeah, that's going to happen, once I get the gun mod to work as I want it to (it doesn't work very well, especially not for a fake FPS).

Actually, I have a different idea, as this is going to be complicated otherwise. Is it possible for you to compile the head, body, leg and arm parts of the bitmap into into the correct place?

by **sdzen** » Wed Mar 14, 2012 22:46

as in together seperate and the head is a prototype if your talking of image format

by **sdzen** » Wed Mar 14, 2012 22:47

iz confused

by **lkjoel** » Wed Mar 14, 2012 22:56

you know how minetest just takes all of the parts and compiles them to look like a human? So just take the front of each part of the image (head, body, neck, leg, arm etc...), and compile them to look like in the final rendering.

by **lkjoel** » Thu Mar 15, 2012 01:21

I'm currently working on porting it to LUA, so that anyone can add a clan (without recompiling). Once it's done, we'll just have to add the clan selection/changing screen, and then we are done with the clans!

by **Jordach** » Thu Mar 15, 2012 16:49

Sdzen, can you help us with layouts for the 3-D player, I am trying to make some really cool ones, but the template Krisi gave us is absolutely bad.

Can you give us a template?

by **sdzen** » Thu Mar 15, 2012 19:24

okay and sure jordach!

by **Jordach** » Thu Mar 15, 2012 19:27

+CHUCK NORRIS!

by **sdzen** » Thu Mar 15, 2012 19:43

but the one krisi supplied you s very good why dont you like it so I may improve upon it more labels? derpy sample textures on it?

by **lkjoel** » Fri Mar 16, 2012 15:53

wow, this is getting way too complicated. I'll just make clans.h file containing all of the clans, and forget about the LUA api.

by **sdzen** » Fri Mar 16, 2012 16:27

okay! sounds awesome when should i recompile? at anytime soon :P
