| + | [[User:Ghoulsblade|Ghoulsblade]] 00:40, 15 February 2008 (CET): we're still around, but rather busy lately with other stuff, some interesting things that will probably be used for sfz planets later are being experimented with in iris (see [http://iris2.de/index.php/Dev_Blog iris devblog] ), namely shadows, sky, and also a few grass and tree experiments. Also code for TextureAtlas and geometry-batching for better performance has been added there. |

| − | [[User:Ghoulsblade|Ghoulsblade]] 15:52, 23 September 2007 (CEST) : we're currently experimenting with a simple geometry editor where you can turn on and off the edges of a cube to describe the geometry of a ship-part, this allows to create ramps, pyramids and similar shapes with a relatively easy interface. | + | [[User:Ghoulsblade|Ghoulsblade]] 21:09, 4 January 2008 (CET) : we've been working on a class for grouping the geometry of up large numbers of objects into a single batch, similar to the Ogre::StaticGeometry, this allows better performance at a slightly increased vram cost. |
| | + | It is a bit more lightweigt and flexible than static geometry, and has been designed to construct the batch fast so it can be used for contructing the batch at runtime, whereas Ogre::StaticGeometry was rather designed to construct the batch while loading a level or similar, so it wasn't really designed for fast construction. |
| | + | Also our batch allows colouring instances via vertex colour, and allows the whole batch to be repositioned and rotated as a whole. The main reason for developing it was to improve performance in iris, but it will probably be useful for things like asteroid fields in sfz as well, and maybe for stuff on planets later as well. |

| − | <gallery>
| + | it's been a bit quiet here lately, we're currently busy working on performance improvements for [http://www.iris2.de/index.php/Dev_Blog iris], but at least some of them might also be interesting for sfz later =) |
| − | Image:20070919043143_160.png
| + | We're experimenting with multitexturing, tilebased terrain, transition masks, and a more dynamic batched geometry class than the Ogre::StaticGeometry, as we need to change the contents at runtime, and want to avoid costly reading mesh data back from VRAM. |
| − | </gallery>
| + | And since iris and sfz share the lugre lib, both projects benefit from the resulting code improvements and addtitions. |
| | | | |
| − | [[User:Ghoulsblade|Ghoulsblade]] 01:27, 18 September 2007 (CEST) : threads are working now, and the keepalive message for online games that is sent via http to our masterserver (a php script which just keeps track of running games) is now sent using the threaded http netmessage util, so the game doesn't hang anymore while the connection is established =)

| − | * sending a simple network request and waiting for the answer
| + | <startFeed /> <!-- place startFeed tag at the start of every month, and endFeed at the end --> |
| − | ** e.g. for loading a php page via http, like for our online-game keep-alive message.
| + | |
| − | * loading a big file to memory
| + | |
| − | Both are i/o operations, so making them threaded prevents the game from hanging.
| + | |
| − | I haven't finished the lua bindings for them and haven't tested them yet, but making them threaded was very easy with boost.
| + | |
| − | I made it so that our code can be compiled without boost and without thread support, in that case they still work, but are blocking operations.

| − | [[User:Hagish|hagish]] 03:11, 16 September 2007 (CEST) : worked on the mission system and improved the ui (mission display, waypoint) a bit. first little kill mission added. you can create the test mission using the F9 key.

| − | [[User:Ghoulsblade|Ghoulsblade]] 12:09, 15 September 2007 (CEST) : we worked a bit on sfz last night, we had to kick the boost::timer as it was very unreliable, (varying second length, depending on wether i move the window partly outside the screeen...) and hagish convinced me to finally look up the SDL code and extract the essential bits for timing and it was easier and shorter (win:1 line, linux:3 lines) than i though, and now we have a good timer that needs no extra lib.
| + | === tractorbeam experiment === |
| − | hagish started redesigning and extending the mission system, things might currently be a bit broken though.
| + | |
| − | I improved the file-browser-dialog code a bit, and now you can navigate directories.
| + | |
| − | It's still rather ugly as it is not easy to make scrolling support in our current gui, but it's better than before.
| + | |
| − | Also i cleaned some rather old code in lib.timer.lua, that is now easier with the listener system.
| + | |
| | | | |
| − | [[User:Hagish|hagish]] 16:25, 9 September 2007 (CEST) : Last night i implemented basic rocket support and started enemy groups handling code for kill missions. | + | [[User:Ghoulsblade|Ghoulsblade]] 21:03, 26 November 2007 (CET) : first experimental tractor-beam weapon. |
| | + | Can be used to drag enemies inside the range of deadly close-range weapons.... or for having fun with asteroids :) |
| | | | |
| − | [[User:Ghoulsblade|Ghoulsblade]] 00:07, 6 September 2007 (CEST) : i tried adding the stuff from the ogre cellshading demo to sfz, it worked, but looks bad, and does not support textures, only plain color materials. so this won't do, we'll need something completely different if we decide to use a slight celshading effect.

| |
| − | hagish made an irc lib and i just built it in, now when you start sfz you can chat in our irc channel.
| |
| − | the username used for irc is auto-detected from your system user, should work on win and linux, and a 3 digit random number is appended just to be sure.
| |
| | | | |
| − | i also made a new win binary updated the downloads on the mainpage =)
| |
| | | | |
| − | [[User:Ghoulsblade|Ghoulsblade]] 01:03, 3 September 2007 (CEST) : we now have a master/gamelist-server. when you click "host game" the game is announced on that server, and other players can connect to it, if your firewall/router allows incoming tcp connections on port 6666.
| + | === short video of interior walk === |
| − | The currently open games are listed on the start menu screen.

| − | [[User:Hagish|hagish]] 21:09, 2 September 2007 (CEST) : I experimented a bit with ode. Ode itself works quite well and the basics are very easy. I tried to implement a good ode-based ship movement but i experienced problems with the correct roll/pitch of the ships. They did nothing or circled around like crazy. I'll look inti this another time. | + | [[User:Ghoulsblade|Ghoulsblade]] 16:22, 22 November 2007 (CET) : no new feature, but i made a short video showing how interior walking and furniture placement currently looks |

| | + | [[User:Ghoulsblade|Ghoulsblade]] 03:44, 1 November 2007 (CET) hagish and i met today, and we decided to focus on combat. |
| | + | some notes : [[Sfz31.10.2007]] |
| | + | i already started making a few weapon-icons, they're rather simple, but should do for getting started. |
| | | | |
| − | [[User:Ghoulsblade|Ghoulsblade]] 00:26, 23 August 2007 (CEST): a few more screenshots with better engine trails, and my first try to import blender models (hagish imported the other models so far). I found exporting/importing is currently very troublesome because i had to rename many things and change filepaths, so i'm thinking about looking into the exporter sourcecode and trying to add an option to automate this in order to make exporting easier.
| + | |
| − | Also the models still have to be rescaled, repositioned and rotated before the can be used correctly ingame, and i think i'll try to make an ingame editor for that, so they can be compared directly to existing ingame models like the spacesuit for a better size-impression, and i can blend in a grid in ingame coordinates this way.
| + | |
| − | It'll be quite a bit of work, but i think it will be well worth it in the long run.

| + | http://zwischenwelt.org/svn/sfz/sfz/trunk/data/icon/rn_pd_edrain.png |
| − | * we've replaced the billboard-planets by 3d-ones with textures from the freeorion orion project that were available under cc-by-sa (see README for credits)
| + | http://zwischenwelt.org/svn/sfz/sfz/trunk/data/icon/rn_pd_tractor.png |
| − | * hagish added a spaceport menu listing planets and stations
| + | http://zwischenwelt.org/svn/sfz/sfz/trunk/data/icon/rn_pd_emp.png |
| − | * mousepicking is now more accurate and when there are multiple objects under the mouse you can cycle between them by clicking repeatedly
| + | http://zwischenwelt.org/svn/sfz/sfz/trunk/data/icon/rn_pd_plasma_glob.png |
| − | * we tested multiplayer networking and solved a few bugs and issues, it works fine in a LAN
| + | e-drain,tractor,emp(paralyzing shockwave),plasmaglob |
| − | * we accidentally "discovered" a feature, when you exit a ship while it's autopilot is activated, the autopilot does not switch off, and it continues to not only approach, but to actually FOLLOW the target if it is a moving ship. by repeatedly undocking fighters from the mothership, setting them to follow leaving via spacesuit and re-entering the mothership, we built a little fleet of fighters following us and made a few screenshots
| + | <br> |
| − | * hagish improved a few things in the gui system
| + | |
| − | * you can now "call"/mark targets by pressing strg-t for the rest of the team, they have a red hud-border and can be selected by pressing t
| + | |
| − | * a line marker now helps finding the direction to selected targets that are offscreen
| + | |
| − | * we experimented with engine trails
| + | |
| − | * we built in the gui graphics that ray made for sfz
| + | |
| − | * a few changes in how cargo is handled internally in preparation for a generic container/equipment system
| + | |
| − | * we now have a little cursor

| − | hagish started experimenting with random generated structures that can be used for plants and lightning effects, and i just finished a geometry generation utility called loft (the green thing, not yet used with hagish data), that can be used later to generate geometry for plants with the data generated by hagishs lib.

| − | [[User:Ghoulsblade|Ghoulsblade]] 11:39, 29 July 2007 (CEST) : we extracted/capsuled all the code shared between sfz, iris2 and other projects and put it into an external lib so we have it in one central place and don't have to merge changes back and forth every time.
| + | |
| − | As the main part of the lib is the lua binding for ogre we decided to call it lugre : http://lugre.schattenkind.net

| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Thanks to rookie1 from the freegamer forums it might now be possible to compile and run sfz on a 64 bit linux, but i can't test...
| + | |
| − | He sent in a patch, i added it to trunk, and also fixed a few other things that might be troublesome in 64 bit.
| + | |
| − | see this thread for details : http://freegamer.schattenkind.net/index.php?t=msg&goto=111
| + | |
| − | I also squashed a few bugs, cleaned a few things along the way, and made a new win32 exe, so you might want to run the updater if you were having problems.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | To clear up misunderstandings about the "as long as" in my last post :
| + | |
| − | We will implement some form of spacefolding travelspeed and possibilities to interrupt it, but i think we need to focus on other things first, see this thread for an interesting discussion about the topic : http://freegamer.schattenkind.net/index.php?t=msg&th=11
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | There is a lot of code being shared between iris2 and sfz, and soon also by a third game-project by hagish and ray, so we will probably extract that code into a seperate lib to avoid having to merge new stuff back and forth every time.
| + | |
| − | It's mainly a lua wrapper for the most important ogre parts as well as several utils for networking and similar things.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | [[User:Ghoulsblade|Ghoulsblade]] 02:01, 23 July 2007 (CEST) after thinking a while about space-folding travel and all the things to be considered when implementing it, i came to the conclusion that we don't really need it yet as long as the planets are so close together and not on a realistic scale, and other things like trading and missions are more important right now, and those usually involve traveling to other star systems, so i started a bit with the code for a list of star-systems

| − | | + | |
| − | in the initial setup dialog, choose directx instead of opengl otherwise it crashes for an unknown reason so far.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | it includes an updater.exe to get the latest code changes, and as we are working mainly on the lua code which does not need to be compiled, you can get the latest changes this way even if we don't make a new release for a while.
| + | |
| − | A new binary release will only be needed if there are changes to the c++ code, which are rather rare.
| + | |
| − | Please note that sfz is still work in progress and there isn't any real gameplay yet, just a few things to try out =)

| − | [[User:Ghoulsblade|Ghoulsblade]] 19:56, 6 July 2007 (CEST): we're currently working on a "location" system, that enables us to move objects to seperate "dimensions", for example to avoid destroying a fighter-object when it is docking, it is simply moved to a seperate "hangar-dimension".
| + | |
| − | these things can later also be used for walking around inside spaceships (we're also working on generating experimental interior meshes for that) and for wormholes, etc...
| + | |
| − | such a "dimension" has nothing todo with fancy graphics, it's just a logical grouping of objects so coordinate systems can overlap without objects interfering with each other. this isn't quite finished, the hudmarkers and other things still have to be adjusted. the current "hangar dimension" is nothing more than a gray empty space so far =)

| − | [[User:Ghoulsblade|Ghoulsblade]] 23:41, 4 July 2007 (CEST) : player now starts with a bigger ship and can launch from it in a little fighter and dock back on if they wish. meshes and gui for this are still very simple, but the code behind it works and can now be cleaned and extended.

| − | [[User:Ghoulsblade|Ghoulsblade]] 02:02, 4 July 2007 (CEST) : it is now possible to exit the current spaceship and float around in a space-suit, you can also enter ship.
| + | |
| − | but there is a funny bug : i did put a check in to ensure that you couldn't enter pirate ships, but i forgot to check if the object to be entered is actually a ship, so now you can enter anything (except pirate-ships) and fly around as an asteroid, as a space-station or even as a wormhole :)
