Title: [done] Accept randomPositionEnabled as parameter for tileset objects
Post by: MuwuM on 7 October 2013, 21:55:52

I added an optional parameter to the tileset object to enable/disable randomized positions.

Usage/defaults

Code: [Select]

<object walkable="false">
        <model path="models/wood_tree_2.g3d" anim-speed="-1" smoothTwoFrameAnim="false" rotationAllowed="true" randomPositionEnabled="true"/>
</object>

Every property of the "model" besides the "path"-property is optional.

Code: [Select]

Line 16:
<objects>
<object walkable="false">
− <model path="models/tree.g3d" anim-speed="150" smoothTwoFrameAnim="false">
<!-- Start MG Only -->
<particles value="true">
Line 69:

<tt>smoothTwoFrameAnim</tt> is a [[MegaGlest]] only switch which smoothes 2 frame animations with a sin curve for the animation speed. This is good for animated trees (example: see tileset birch forest).

Line 74:

===rotationAllowed===
− A [[MegaGlest]] only feature, defines whether nor not the object can be randomly rotated when placed on maps. By default, all objects will be given a random rotation. If false, the objects will not be rotated and will be seen at the angle it appears in the [[G3D viewer]].

Wonderful hope this gets included in megaglest releases!

Thanks softcoder.  :thumbup:

Should I apply the changes to the wiki?

"svn head" is a moving target, it always points to the latest revision, so this is not a useful statement to determine whether or not a certain build will support it. Instead, I suggest you use of of the following notations (the actual values given are examples):

• MegaGlest 1.2.3-dev+r1234  - a build of subversion revision 1234 which carries the v1.2.3-dev version string
• MegaGlest r1234 - this will help developers, but modders will still find it difficult to tell whether or not a given build they have supports it
• MegaGlest >= 1.2.4 - the supposed - since you cannot know release versions in advance - future release version which will definitely contain this feature

I very much favor the first notation, since it is precise, and easily interpreted by many.

Nice feature by the way. :)

Now using: [ MegaGlest >= 3.8.0-beta1 (+r4514) ] and [ MegaGlest >=3.8.0-dev+r4598 ]

Just noticed,: Would it make sence to have a additional Forum/wiki page, where deprecated and new XML elements are described?
