Glest 3.2-alpha1
« on: 27 May 2008, 23:25:37 »
Hello,

As you might already know, we are working on Glest 3.2, which will include scripting as a major feature, we want to share what we've done so far, so I've uploaded a patch to:

http://www.glest.org/files/misc/glest_p ... alpha1.zip

To install it delete the scenarios folder of your Glest installation and unzip it over.

Everything is in the svn too, however I don't think the building scripts cope with the LUA code, we will work on that soon.

The 3 main scripted scenarios added are:

Basic Tutorial: Tutorial to guide the player through the tech faction
Advanced Tutorial: Tutorial to guide the player through the magic faction
Storming: Simple scripted scenario where you have to protect a summoner while you attack several villages

Please give us some feedback.

Thanks.

Can I ask you that are there any way to change the language of the tutorials?

Yes, every tutorial has a lang file in the same folder as the tutorial, we didn't have the time to translate them yet.

One thing you need to do is add a new location for each new option in the menu.

Edit: And, you misspelled required (you spelled it requiered... :wink:

Pretty impressive, creating storylines shouldn't be that hard now... Or at least something similar, if you feel like creating a new map for each scenario. :) Either way, I'm sure beautiful things can be done with this. Such as in-game tutorials, for new players... Good job!

2 Questions...

1) Could you put in an "easy" level CPU for new player practice?
2) So this probably wont work if i have GAE already? =) Hope they can be made compatible soon  :D

This is great news.

Scripting means that campaigns can be made. Possibilities are huge.

Great Job!
Theres so much potential in this. I looked in the xmls and the scriptsettings are easy to understand like it was with the xml-units before.
However, is there a way to get special maps with different event-locations? I got that with startlocation of the players, maybe i can put special trees on the map so i get its positions by call and then can cast an army there  8) .
Ok, i theres lots of possibilities to build nice missions of that. I will try making one soon.

There are two mayor things missing in the scripting, that we will add in the future:

- Trigger regions: The ability to define regions in the map and events related to them (I'm using the start locations as a placeholder at the moment)

- Timers: The ability to specify time-based events.

Before releasing this for final, perhaps you could add in more m/p support (I would like chat available in the "new game" screen, for things like "I want magic" or "lets do a 2 vs 2")
 :D

I'm thinking, that if we change the language for "magyar", then the scenarios' language file would be also changed for example "storming_magyar", and if that file does not exist, then it would use english as default.

Btw, you should make it so that when you lose a scenario, it forces you to exit (I wasn't guarding the summoner in storming, and she got killed, but I continued the game, and I won it anyway (Though it didn't bring up the you win dialog...). ).

This looks really good, it will be allow more interesting map cases to be made.  A possible improvement that could be added would be to allow custom sounds to be played based on some kind of trigger.

Crash
« Reply #24 on: 13 June 2008, 08:18:13 »
The new 3.2 alpha 1 crashes when playing the scenario "Storming"!
I only get "Segmentation Fault" at the moment :(.

This happens on linux( I didn't try it in windows yet ). We tried it about 10 times and could never finish the scenario without a crash.

The tutoriels run fine( but we didn't played them completely ).
