Messing around in new source

[Robin]

Also, glad to see ImageShack aren't trying to hide the direct link anymore.

There's not a way to do transparencies when using BltToDC is there?

No decent way, no. Why do you ask?

[Vans]

Looks good =)

Using DX8 is kind of easy, but, well... it's kind of hard(too much work) to use it.

[Robin]

I use Dx8 a bit, but the texture constraints are too limiting for me.

Some more messing around. Added an npc spawn attribute, where you can also set the direction it spawns in.

[Pbcrazy]

nicely done! thats something you wouldn't normally think of.

[Robin]

I add it to every source I touch ;D

Finished converting Npcs to run in a class. Just need to put all the subroutines in it, and it should run fine. I'll finish converting the rest of the data types over tomorrow. It's 3am, need sleep.

[Pbcrazy]

curious, whats the advantage of using classes over types?

[Matt]

nicely done! thats something you wouldn't normally think of.

That's been in the old FPO source for 3 years. And I also put it in PW for James a long time ago.

[Pbcrazy]

ok let me reword that: "Not something I normally think of"

[Vans]

Nice stuff robin, you never fail to amaze me

lol, how to link an image to a forum from imageshack

Upload to image shack
See the red text? Click to display the hidden link. Use that link.

Are you retarded for the hell of it?

I clearly said in my first post that they aren't trying to hide the direct link anymore.

How about you upload an image before posting?

Nearly finished fixing up the npc class.

The subs are a bit neater now, with things like:

Code:

Call Npc(npc_ID).Send(index)

Call Npc(npc_ID).Clear

[Robin]

Classes are now stored like:

Code:

[CLASS1]
Name=Warrior
MaleSprites=0,1,4,7,8,9,13,16
FemaleSprites=0,2,11
STR=5
DEF=4
Speed=2
MAGI=0

[CLASS2]
Name=Wizard
MaleSprites=0,5,13,14,6
FemaleSprites=0,10,15,3
STR=3
DEF=3
Speed=1
MAGI=5

When loaded, the Sprite strings will be split up into an array. When making a new character, player's can scroll through the array and choose the sprite that they want to start with. Each class can have a different array of sprites for each sex.

Big thanks to Jacob for giving me the idea of storing them in a string and splitting it up.

[Dragoons Master]

Good idea ;P

[Robin]

Character's names now appear different colours.

Pkers are red, the other colours are the same as those ingame to show different access levels.

[GIAKEN]

And they're animated?

[Vans]

robin, marry me

[Ciao]

Cool cakes.
That looks really snazzy

[Nean]

That's pretty crazy. Is it tough to do these things? I mean, I can't see why it'd be terribly hard, but then again I haven't attempted anything like this.

[GIAKEN]

Not at all.
