[Arianne-general] Stendhal features/bug

[Miguel Angel Blanch Lardin <miguelangelblanchlardin@ho...>]

Hi,

A new release is already in the launching ramp ( one week or two far ) and I 
think that we should perhaps fixs some "bugs" that the actual game has.

a) Changing zone makes sheep appear near you.
So should you be near sheep before being allowed to change zone?

b) Same problem with logout. This bug is explotable at Tor'Koom... and easy 
way of earning 2000XP
c) Own sheep and Leave sheep can be abused, all the sheeps on map will be 
owned by someone.
d) Sheeps will start costing money.
e) Logout on combat should be denied?

f) We need to balance game :) It is hard for lvl 0 and too easy for lvl 20
g) Quests! We need quests. Items will open a whole new universe of quests.

On Sunday 26 I will be giving an e-conference about game developing using 
Arianne.

Quisar wrote it.
Anyway to write a client you should instead extend ariannexp at ( 
marauroa.client package ) as it will be easier to do and you get all the 
updates for free :)

I suggest you to check stendhal or jmapacman.

Re: [Arianne-general] Map making and standards for it

Let me understand well...
Do you mean that it defines some "Geographical" details or its related 
to the game's logic?
So, will it be used as trigger for some action when the player walk over

some tiles, or it will affect the game just from the graphical point?

For now just the graphical point, since the modified tiles will also
feature some opacity, so grass with different shade will be easier to
make. It's up to miguel if he wants to add other features like splushing
sounds (when we have sounds) to water tiles or sand rasps on a desert
tile.

Considering that we will have to change the tileset, i fear that the 
entire map will need to be redone... :)

heh, yes true... but I will also remake all the maps that is in the
current release of stendhal, so they will use the new tiles... ;)

Hopefully due to his work we are going to be able to modify the tileset 
easier when we redo it.
I think it is a good/wise move.

[Arianne-general] Map making and standards for it

[ANFERS ASPLUND <tde02aas@sy...>]

Ok, first of all, I want to say that I have added a new terrain layer,
so the new lineup of the layers and what they shud be used for is

Entity layers
[mapname]_collision <-- used for collision detection
[mapname]_objects <-- used for NPC's, monsters and other game objects

Graphic layers
[mapname]_3_roof <-- used for things that shud be showned over your
character
[mapname]_2_object <-- used for items like flowers, ladders, chairs or
tables
[mapname]_1_terrain <-- used for grass/sand/water edges and mountains
[mapname]_0_floor <-- used for defining what type of environment it is


All the graphic layers can actually be used any way you wish, as long as
it "looks right" in the editor (exept the roof layer that is drawn above
your character) but I would like all people that is working on maps to
try and use these borderlines, cause it will get easyer for other to
make modifications to it and it's the way maps will be implemented in a
near future.

Also I am working on some big changes to the tilesets, in hopes of
making it easyer to find the correct tiles and to remove duplicates of
the same tiles, so please keep in mind that you might have to remake
half your map after the release containing these features is made.

If your interested in getting the current "beta tilesets" or
adding/discussing some other improvements to the map format please
contact me on the freenode irc channel #arianne
