[[User:Ghoulsblade|Ghoulsblade]] 23:39, 15 April 2006 (CEST) : sorry, i've been a bit quiet these past days, needed to clean a few things up before starting work on the HUD (using ogre input system now, smartptr and listener improved, c++ timer class implemented) but now the HUD is started, and we have a simple crosshair, more will follow soon =)

[[User:Ghoulsblade|Ghoulsblade]] 13:37, 17 April 2006 (CEST) :
 
−
After a full day coding with hagish, we have lots of cool new stuff, hud target info and aiming help thingies, simple but damn cool physics (try playing pool(billiard) by ramming asteroids) and even ingame dialog windows (for entering playername and such)

[[User:Ghoulsblade|Ghoulsblade]] 17:56, 24 April 2006 (CEST) : sorry, it has been quiet lately, i have been (and still am) busy porting iris (a 3d client for ultima, see [[http://iris.berlios.de]]) to the ogre3d engine, so far they have been using a homebrewn engine. My port is far from playable and only a rough test, but i couldn't resist to upload a few screenshots, see [[IrisOgreScreenshots]]
 
−
 
−
[[User:Ghoulsblade|Ghoulsblade]] 23:05, 1 June 2006 (CEST): it's been quiet but we have quite a bit of progress, just no time to write about it, speedlines have been added to give visual feedback for own velocity, the hud-element-system has been made completely scriptable, and we just found and fixed the  "crash on ship death" bug under win, so a more playable win release should be available soon. I also just made a "buyzone" near the space-station, that shows a hud button when the player is within, still todo is to actually be able to buy something (just weapon upgrades for a start) and getting destroyed enemies and astaroids to drop something collectable to give the player cash to buy things with =)

[[User:Ghoulsblade|Ghoulsblade]] 23:19, 1 June 2006 (CEST) i changed our roadmap a little, now trading (at least equipment) is on our current milestone...

−
[[User:Ghoulsblade|Ghoulsblade]] 08:14, 19 June 2006 (CEST) : we tried CEGUI but didn't really like it, so we are currently working on our own little GUI-System.
 
−
It will probably feature html-like dialog-specification-syntax, so custom dialogs can be sent from the server, strong lua integration, and customizable layout-handling.
 
−
 
−
[[User:Ghoulsblade|Ghoulsblade]] 23:22, 29 June 2006 (CEST) : after playing (too much) guildwars, i finally completed the border-color-clipplane-thingie, a graphical element that will be used intensly by our gui, it can be coloured freely, even colour-transitions from the edges, supports clipping (for parent-child hierarchy and scrolling later on) and consists of 3x3 parts (middle + borders), where each part can use its own set of texturecoordinates, and the middle can have a seperate texture from the borders, e.g. something tilable.

[[User:Ghoulsblade|Ghoulsblade]] 00:10, 31 March 2006 (CEST): After a little coding pause (learning about Lua, playing guildwars and iwar2, planning how to use lua for various things...) i started integrating Lua, i am really suprised about this scripting-language =)
 
−
 
−
[[User:Ghoulsblade|Ghoulsblade]] 00:20, 4 April 2006 (CEST) : i like lua, now i already use it to controll most of the server & client message transfer as well as object creation, and integrating newly joined clients into the server...  really a powerful scripting language.
 
−
If this continues to go so smooth, we might have missile and other weapons sooner than expected. It is not the time for funky graphics yet, though...
 
−
 
−
[[User:Ghoulsblade|Ghoulsblade]] 14:48, 5 April 2006 (CEST): things continue to go smoothly, the first "experimental, non-detonating, ogre-head-shaped seeking missile" is targetting the player. I just rearranged the roadmap a little, hud was moved to the next release, and this milestone is now focused on weapons and destruction

−
[[User:Ghoulsblade|Ghoulsblade]] 04:20, 10 April 2006 (CEST): after one afternoon coding with hagish, we got lots of work done, see svn-log, and just now i upped a few [[Screenshots]], enjoy =)

−
[[User:Ghoulsblade|Ghoulsblade]] 00:27, 11 April 2006 (CEST) : cleaned up the code a bit, improved the "beam"-primitives cam-adjustment, explosions now have a real billboard, firing while mousebutton is down, drawing spheres for debug is now possible (ClientSetEllipsoid)
 
−
 
−
[[User:Ghoulsblade|Ghoulsblade]] 20:05, 11 April 2006 (CEST) : worked a bit on shots and explosions, looking quite nice now i think (3 new screenshots), still not animated though, screenshots can be made ingame by pressing "f", dumped particles from this roadmap, not really needed currently, so now we are done with milestone number 2, jeeehaww !

Ghoulsblade 21:29, 10 May 2007 (CEST) : mainly obsolete as we did some redesign after a longer development pause, todo : check items on this roadmap and do a cleanup here.. currently we're experimenting with a simple ship-editor, a hierarchical best weight loss pills location system and the ODE physics engine, we'll have to wait and see what comes out of those experiments before doing further planning.
