ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

Current status: with just a bit of work, I updated the old situation for b37, so I can recreate the same bug in the most recent release. This bug arose because of a change maybe around b30 or so; before that I could make map arrays and output them to a file to look at, at least. Here is all I've don...

Sounds great! I should have some time this wknd. In the meantime I will get the code into b27 and get to the latest error I was stopped on.

Thanks!

Hi hi! A while back, I tried restarting this--I plugged my changes to the code into version 24, I think, and got some new errors due to changes in the way things are handled. My time is a bit more limited now: the reason I stopped working on this six months ago was that I had a baby daughter, and si...

Hi: has anyone succeeded compiling with OSX Lion and XCode 4.1? Just checking!!!

hmmm, that's an interesting idea. once all the default initialization variables get settled, they'll need to be put into a form which te4's maps and objects like, and which is fairly compatible with te4's other ways of managing data lists. (right now, during development, these initialization values ...

LUA progress. about 80% done implementing worldgen c code, except for site placement. (looking at astar and map stuff for that now.) fractals not in yet; just placeholders. looks surprisingly good even without. below are some plots that are basically masks which will be imposed on fractal data. gene...

love the idea of a class whose powers have a drawback more serious than just cool-offs and depleting a resource bar. using up HP is a great idea--this could crystallize the moments when we're close to death. not just "can't use X, would die," but, "hmmm, i'm low on HP, and if i use X,...

current errors in xcode compile: TE4CORE_VERSION undefined (3 places) when i cheat and comment out/dummy out those lines, i get: _luaopen_bit _luaopen_diamond_square _luaopen_physfs _tengine_main all undefined from _boot_lua in main.o (the last actually is from SDLMain.o). [No worries, yufra, re bel...

By the way: we'll probably eventually need to generalize the aStar a bit: my aStar take a civilization-type parameter and a walkmax parameter, so it can do thinks like treat certain terrain as somewhat-walkable--elves can go through forests with ease, and deepwater civilizations can sail the seas, e...

Ah, jolly good. I've put some things in pre-init, and run T-Engine from a terminal, and seen the output. I'll eventually need to be printing to files; I can worry about that later. So I want to get the structure right before I start hammering away at code. Here are some functions I think I will need...

So here's my idiotic very first step to the luafication process--on the level of "hello world". I'm going to do it as a standalone lua thingum for now, and make it pretty concrete, and then abstractifying it and integrating into the t-engine shouldn't be too hard. The last step will be tak...

Hmm, I hadn't seen DarkGod's message when I posted...somehow he ninja'd me. DarkGod, here's my very rough plan for converting to lua. (1) Learn more about lua. (2) Change c program to have a struct which carries all needed info (eg world.terrain[x][y]). (3) Subroutinize terrain formation, passing ju...

I've just incorporated all the stupid little files into the main file, and deleted the shell script. The structure is so simple now that not even a make file is necessary. The changes are available on sourceforge under the same project and link above, infiwild. So now there is only one main program:...

Freddybear is totally right. I'll try to make a generic makefile, and then anyone with terminal-type control and the make command can compile this easily. That would take care of Goblinz's issue, so long as he has a pc equivalent of make and a c compiler. I have a stupid question. My main program ob...

Two screenshots: an old-fashioned ascii map, and a typical gameplay shot. The sandworm lair and oldforest shown: i use the flower graphic for woods, since i don't have a woods graphic yet. I also am using cold forests and palm forests and a few other things on the wilderness map. There are still a f...
