A new version of the original Rod game is planned. The schedule is not finalised but it is expected to be completed in the coming months. This will feature all of the original Rod features (including split screen 2 player mode) but will be a native Win32 application with variable screen resolutions, module music support and improved movement (including units). A map editor will be included. You need to login to create posts in this thread. |

Why not make meteor2 a rod2 mod or vice-versa? Thanks for the split-screen. Edited: 04 March 2005 20:02 You need to login to create posts in this thread. |

It is quite possible that Rod 2 could developed as a mod for M2. It all depends on whether I am in the mood at the time. You need to login to create posts in this thread. |

Heh, sounds like my flavor of motivation. The new shrouder system/library will be ready by April 30th if everything goes smoothly. Speedy 32-pixel operations! Edited: 09 March 2005 15:36 You need to login to create posts in this thread. |

New shrouder system/lib? Well thats cool, I will put the shrouder stuff on hold and wait for that then? You need to login to create posts in this thread. |

I think it would be a good idea to wait. But don't delay M2 for shrouders! The new system will be faster, prettier, and more versatile. For example, you can add 3 or more (allied)points of view, and only shroud the areas none of them can see. Also, there will be an optional lighting system. Lanterns / flashlight beams can be broken up by obstacles. Light intensities will be full / nothing / stipple / or stipple and full ... so that dark monitors won't be an issue. I have to be smart about the interface to keep it simple and versatile. You need to login to create posts in this thread. |

Simplelos - simple line-of sight tool: supports only 1 pov(point of view) and no lighting. only 4 functions to deal with: ------------------------------------------------------- add_shrouder( x1, y1, x2, y2); // one sided line-segment add_shrouder( *verts, int num_verts); //clockwise concave polygon add_2_way_shrouder( x1, y1, x2, y2); //works on both sides line_of_sight( *buffer, pov_x, pov_y, color);//blit & los & delete shrouders Mappers can use the handy "Reverse vertex order" command to make their solid sectors go clockwise. I could code a utility function that forces polygons to be clockwise if you really want one. if you need more functionality, I'll be making this later: Monolos - monochrome line-of-sight and darkness library: ------------------------------------------------------- http://fuzinavl.tripod.com/monolos.rtf Edited: 13 March 2005 14:59 You need to login to create posts in this thread. |
