ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

I've started up again. It took me a long time to understand what is being done with canSee() (and I still don't think I've got all of it). This was a huge mental roadblock for me, as actors seemed to just randomly not display, and I thought it was my code logic. Turns out I misunderstood how canSee(...

Restarting this. Again

Light, ambient light, and senses redone. Plenty of ideas gathered since last time. Graphics still suck

I use the following to test in linux: ./t-engine --flush-stdout -Mits -n -uTestD00d but cannot make OSX do the same. I've tried variations on this: open -a T-Engine.app --args --flush-stdout -Mits -n -uTestD00d but no joy. Does anyone know how to pass args (especially module and username) on the com...

With or without the dylib in place, double clicking on the /Contents/MacOS/t-engine executable DOES work, launching the app normally and apparently successfully. There's still some chatter on stdout and the system.log, but the program appears to run fine. Confirmed this works on my macbook ... but,...

Restarting development. (Damn you, Masterwork Dwarf Fortress!!)

Released the farportal guardian, who is slowly moving around the Fortress. He appears to have attacked the Fortress guardian, who is slowly chasing the farportal guardian around. The farportal guardian can teleport me, it might be the case that he's teleporting the Fortress guardian. Not sure if thi...

Seg fault, Mindslayer in Rak'shor Pride, lots of summoned undead, several other named orcs, Emeloba had Healing Nexus cast on me.

The targeting distance differs a bit whether you aim straight or diagonally. Are you sure this ain't the issue? If you aim straight it should Gove the listed range. If not it might be a bug. This may very well be the issue - if that's the case, it's a bit confusing that hovering over a potential ta...

I've just noticed this - there appears to be an off-by-one error with Mindlash. I'm playing a Mindslayer, and my Mindlash talent is at 5/5, with a range of 7. However, in the GUI, if I target a foe at exactly range 7 - that is, seven grids away, not counting the player's grid, counting the foe's gri...

Not sure what happened - playing a Yeek Archmage, in Maze, crash. I'm not sure *exactly* what my last action was - either Lightning or Chain Lightning, almost certainly. Here's what was in the terminal window: [LOG] Megalord casts Chain Lightning. [Chain lightning] targetting 58 6 from 57 3 [Chain l...

No, but at this point it's only a static integer in the level struct. There's one extra test in canSee(), and only a small number of npcs per level so far.

I would love to make it dynamic and per-grid, but that's probably going to wait until after more of the actual game arc is fleshed out.

Flickering torches and braziers added.

Maan, to do torches I was going to animate different tiles, one for the area right next to the torch, one for the next square out, and so on. Please let me know how you did this so I don't go blind from all the pixelating. I've read this a bunch of times and still can't parse it - what are you aski...

Flickering lights added to the guards - randomly sets his projected light within his min and max radius
Pulsing lights added to will-o-wisps (in the graveyard) - increases stepwise to max radius, then decreases stepwise to min radius
