Cicero Report post Posted October 31, 2004 -- Shadows -- Particles -- Native language support -- ? If you've been working on something on the client, we'd like for it to be brought to a "stable" point so we can do a release in a week or so. If it will take too long to finish, just polish up what you have now, and save new features for after the next update. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Umrion Report post Posted October 31, 2004 -- Shadows Well, I don't know if I'll get all "features" done for the shadows, but they'll be usable -- Particles The coding is done (I think.) What's left to do is for the artists to actually make particle systems and place them on the map Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wytter Report post Posted October 31, 2004 (edited) Native language support is done - at least there's no more unresolved issues on my list... I just need a windows client so the translation can get started... Then we might even catch a few more bugs that I haven't been able to find Edited October 31, 2004 by Wytter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cicero Report post Posted October 31, 2004 Ok, if you've been using #defines for your new stuff, go ahead and take them out (make your changes the default). If it messes up anyone who's using the CVS client, tough shit. It will help us remember what stuff we need to change in the update. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wytter Report post Posted October 31, 2004 OK, I'll make NEW_STRUCTURE the default as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cicero Report post Posted October 31, 2004 Can whoever made the new config system (Wytter?) do me a favor? See if you can keep it from switching video modes multiple times on startup, and I keep getting a "can't load cursors file", probably because it changes video modes (thus reloading the cursors file) before it changes to the correct data directory. Learner, I've taken out your vertex arrays and cache system defines, but I want to know if there's any good reason not to make them the default before committing. The vertex arrays defines definitely need to be taken out, because it checks a run-time config option to see if it uses them or not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wytter Report post Posted November 1, 2004 One more thing that you have to be aware of is that the links to images in the encyclopedia should be changed, as $ELDIR/Encyclopedia becomes obsolete. Instead I think that images for the encyclopedia should be in $ELDIR/textures/Encyclopedia or similiar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wytter Report post Posted November 1, 2004 And you are doing a clean compile? Nothing of what's been changed in the directory structure would create memory errors and the like. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
duran Report post Posted November 1, 2004 err, ok. should not the system bring out the default english stuff if the xml files where not in place? and maybe i have the wrong xml files, can someone point me to them? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wytter Report post Posted November 1, 2004 (edited) If the xml-files aren't there it'd print out the right strings etc. - no worries. Here's my languages-directory (containing a german translation, thanks to Enderoth). Furthermore I changed the links in the encyclopedia to textures/Encyclopedia and put that directory in there as well: http://bjorn_mm.users.whitehat.dk/elc_patc...nguages.tar.bz2 Edited November 1, 2004 by Wytter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
duran Report post Posted November 1, 2004 hmm, looks the xml files i had was the ones that was pushing the error. deleted them and i got it working but it seems that the game takes a bit longer to get past the login screen then before. maybe its looking for the xml files and only after giving up it moves on. well i guess we can call of the emergency Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wytter Report post Posted November 1, 2004 Nope, xml-files are loaded before the video mode is set. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
duran Report post Posted November 2, 2004 (edited) odd then that it seem to take longer before the actual game graphics come into place with the new system then before... edit: or it may just seem like it to me, i dont know...
