Mods / Relaunch of BattleGlest?!

« on: 19 December 2014, 16:34:22 »

Hi,

as a new beta of megaglest was released and I finished studying, I'm thinking of relaunching my development of BattleGlest. I was away from the megaglest project for quite a long time (~10 months) so I'd like to hear your opinion before starting.

I have thought about something to make the mod a bit different from other MOBA-games. The main difference is the volcano in the center of the map. As long as one of the 'Lavalings' (giant powerful lava-creature) is alive that volcano kills all units entering his area (usually all creeps of the mid-lane). Every killed Unit rises the danger level of the volcano. If the danger level passes a threshold the volcano destroys a random tower of the team with fewer units lost/sacrificed  in the volcano. If both Lavalings were killed the volcano is disabled for some time. Which means that every unit can pass. Additionally mid-lane-creeps should be far more powerful to end game fast, if the volcano is disabled.

This mechanic adds a high benefit for controlling the mid-lane and adds some tactical options of sacrificing own units (even your hero) to harm the opponent.



I welcome any idea and any kind of (positive & negative) feedback.

Feature requests / Use JavaScript Function Notation (JSFN) instead of XML

« on: 1 April 2014, 15:31:09 »

I recommend to use JavaScript Function Notation (JSFN) instead of XML in MegaGlest.

Here is a sample unit.jsfn

Code: [Select]


function jsfnUnit(){
this.parameters = function(){
this.size = function(){return 2;};
this.height = function(){return 2;};
this['max-hp'] = function(){return 800;};
this['max-hp-regeneration'] = function(){return 2;};
this['max-ep'] = function(){return 100;};
this['max-ep-regeneration'] = function(){return 5;};
this.armor = function(){return 20;};
this['armor-type']  = function(){return 20;};
this.sight = function(){return 15;};
this.time = function(){return 100;};
...
};
this.skills = function(){
return [
function(){
this.type =  function(){return 'stop';};
this.name =  function(){return 'stop_skill';};
this.speed =  function(){return 100;};
...
},function(){
this.type =  function(){return 'attack';};
this.name =  function(){return 'attack_skill';};
this.speed =  function(){return 150;};
...
},
...
];
};
this.commands = function(){
return [...];
};
}

MegaGlest / Creative Commons 4.0

« on: 19 February 2014, 13:15:36 »

Creative Commons 4.0 are out for some time now. I personally think we should update our licenses.

Why should I use the latest version of the Creative Commons licenses?
The latest version of the Creative Commons licenses is version 4.0. You should always use the latest version of the Creative Commons licenses in order to take advantage of the many improvements described on the license versions page. In particular, 4.0 is meant to be better suited to international use, and use in many different contexts, including sharing data.

Mods / Revival of BattleGlest?

« on: 27 January 2014, 17:24:46 »

I'm thinking about reviving the BattleGlest - project.

I love the idea of rebuiling the BattleGlest - mod  I paused some months ago.

My ideas for features:

• complete support for the latest MegaGlest version (without harming the sandbox)
• precompiled Lua-script to have clean coding, but still have all coding in the scenario XML-file
• all playable heroes will be included in the precompilation of the Lua-script
• full animated models
• many particle effects
• voice-over for all characters
• support for 5 versus 5 and 3 versus 3 player matches
• ...

I'd like your comments whether I should try it again and who would/could help me to build an awesome mod.

Feature requests / [done] Accept randomPositionEnabled as parameter for tileset objects

« 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.

Tools / Enhancements to the MegaGlest Map Editor

« on: 21 June 2013, 17:14:20 »

I personally miss some features in the mapeditor version 1.6.0. That's why I decided to add these to the editor.  (I increased the version number as there will be much new stuff / I did some experimental work with a HTML based editor, but it had unsolvable performance issues, so I know what I want and how I should implement)

In this topic I will preview my work. In that topic is the feature request for implementation to megaglest.

First feature is a heightmap - view for the editor ...

Mods / VegaGlest

« on: 23 May 2013, 20:51:02 »

As the refit is not doing any progress I do a parallel project with similary target's but other way's ( reuse > building from scratch ). I will focus the first weeks on importing megaglest and the refit and looking for artists (3d-art, 2d-art, background-music, sound-effects, voice-art). I will try to be and stay compatible to megaglest and the refit. The target is not to replace the refit - project but to design ideas and collect art that could be used in megaglest.

Closed bug reports / [fixed] 3.7.0 Winning Team is displayed wrong

« on: 13 November 2012, 14:49:53 »

The winning Team is displayed wrong after player died, before the end of the game and his team mates won that game.

Version 3.7.0
System: Windows 7

Reproduce: start a game with 3 players in 2 teams.
the player that plays alone eliminate one of the others and gets killed afterwards.
Now the player who died first will be shown that his team has lost ... even if it actually won

Feature requests / 3.8.x Modify percentages of Level up per unit

« on: 11 November 2012, 21:42:22 »

As 3.7.0 seems to be released too soon. I will redo this again using a better way (supporting GAE + Attack-Boost Syntax)

Here is my patch for Leveling up, which allows to modify the percentages in unit XML, it's a quite simple way, but stable and needs no big changes in sourcecode:

it is used like this:

Code: [Select]

<levels modHP="18" modEP="18" modSight="0" modArmor="4">
<level name="1" kills="30" />
<level name="2" kills="100" />
<level name="3" kills="250" />
</levels>
which means 1.18 * HP  | 1.18 * EP | 1.0 * Sight | 1.04*Armor per level

Code: [Select]

Maps, tilesets and scenarios / MG Sim (a city-building scenario)

« on: 16 May 2012, 16:47:46 »

I just stared a small project in addition to Battleglest because I'd like to play arround with some Lua features / show what is possible with mg. It will be a singleplayer scenario. You start with a family (man and his wife) and their house. Your target is to build a huge city with a great economy. BUT there are many threats like monsters, droughts and thiefs.

Feature requests / return-particles and lifesteal

« on: 7 May 2012, 11:28:30 »

I think it would be nice to have 2 new features for attacking, the first is return-particles, which are particles from the attacked unit to the attacking unit (should start after the start of the splash). In addition to that I'd like to have the possibility to add lifesteal to the return-particles, which means, that the attacking unit got healed by X% of Damage dealed.

An example for return-particles could be a boomerang.

Mods / Glest Community Development Monthly - Issue 52

« on: 25 April 2012, 15:15:32 »

Because hailstone has not posted a new Glest Community Development Monthly - Issue I did it this time (I hope hailstone will do the next again ... it was 2.5 h work):

Welcome to the fifty-second issue of Glest Community Development. Below you will find events I have recorded over the last month from the forums (usually for things that can be downloaded or a screenshot of progress). Thanks go to the people who have been busy improving Glest with patches, mods and providing support.

NOTE: the dates are only approximations. Please post any corrections, suggestions, or additions.

The next issue is scheduled for 11 May 2012 (GMT+10).

Closed bug reports / [fixed] Error with teams on multiplayer-scenarios

« on: 19 April 2012, 23:46:33 »

SVN Head: r. 3256

When a player connected to a multiplayer-scenario (not host, because he can't switch) switches his position he kept the team he started with instead of the specified team from the scenario.xml
