Hi there, this week I progressed a lot on events database.


Debug, debug, debug...


-Dialog preview zoom failed on changing image
-Drag & drop for lists: cannot be done beetween several lists
-Remake of list unselection


Event pages


The page buttons "Add", "Copy", "Paste" and "Delete" are perfectly working! The page system is exactly the same as RM series: the pages conditions' test are handled on the right to the left, and the first page with a true condition is the one displayed. Note that in the map editor, the page displayed is always the first one.


Event commands


I've done the same system than in the ruby version. To add a new command, you can simply double-click a window commands (RM system), and if you know what you are searching for you can type a keyword directly with an intelligent research. The bold command is the one selected, you can press enter or click on an option to add your command.





Here are the 3 pages commands. There will probably have some addings later.










Conditions


Each page has a conditions panel. This one allows you to regroup several conditions with "And" / "Or" keywords. However this doesn't cover all the conditions possibilities (this would become horrible to implement and to see).





And for commands, here is the window for conditions:





I've done the Switches & variables and heroes pages:







Switches


Here is the event window command for changing a switch value:





And the switches panel management (where you can always drag & drop switches):




The max number is 9999. I actually wonder if I should separate in several boxes as in original RM. I'm currently not doing it because I think it's not really necessary, and also because we could not drag and drop.




That's all for now, thanks for following!

Hi, this week there was a lot of debug. I think that for now the map editor contains a lot of great elements, so I will now progress on the database. And also I will start events soon!

-Setting algorithm to only draw visible faces of mountains
-Database: choose the type of floor there will be on top of a drawn mountain:



You can select "none" if you want nothing on top of the mountain, "floor" and select the square of the tileset, or "autotile" and select the ID of your autotile.

-Debug when there is no autotiles
-Height gestion of mountains:



-Remove a mountain (mouse picking, delete the top floor too)
-Mountain applied ingame
-Updating database:



I added elements, here are the default icons for fire, water, grass, wind, light and darkness (RTP ressources):



And you can set an element by its name and icon:





Thanks for following, see you next week! D:

http://rpgpapermaker.com/index.php/news/20-update-15-first-technical-demo-available-sprites

Hi! Today I'm giving you a first technical demo of the engine. You can start testing your game with your own graphics. There are missing a lot of future functions, but I'm still working on!



If you have any problem please report it on the forum or by mail (Wanok.rpm@gmail.com). Be also awared that this version is not really great optimised so FPS can go down fast if you put a large number of sprites on map.

Here is the list of what have been done this week :

-Grid display improved
-Resizing map : delete portions when smaller
-Improving autotiles tin paint (FINISHED), mix floors and autotiles
-Keyboard problems
-Save/Copy map on treemap
-Perform mouse picking for floors (different heights)
-Add sprites (fix, face, double, quadra and on floor)
-Delete them with mouse picking
-Loading bars while creating a project, loading a map, or drawing autotiles or floors tin paint
-Camera ratio when map resized
-A lot of debug

I had fun with Paper Mario ressources and made this :



I need to do a Paper Mario fan-game with that engine one day! :D

See you next week! I'll work on 3D objects and blocks.

Final exams are finished, the project can now progress quicklier. I'll try to make a news each week as I made at the begining. It's been a while without any news, mainly because of some study problems so here is a list of what have been done :


-Tileset selector for floors and sprites (however, there's a small display bug while scrolling that I can't still figure out). Of course you can resize the windows between the tileset selector and the map editor.



-As in ruby version, you can create directories and maps into the map selector. You can reorder it as you wish and rename your maps.
-Map creation/edition
-Inputs manager (working now!)



-Zoom/rotation camera, cursor moving
-Mouse picking implementation : add floors with pencil and tin of paint
-Effective way to display drawings when moving cursor
-Draw floors with cursor
-Play button to test your game (still working on it)
-Be aware that I'm principally working on the Windows version. I'd like to have something working on that plateform first. But what you can be sure for now is that the games created with the engine are compatible for Windows/Linux/Mac.
-Implementation of the same height system.
-There is a button to place your game start position, working in game :



-You can save a map. If it is not saved there is a symbol (*) after the name of the map. You can also save all the maps that have not been saved. The map is well displayed in game.
-You can set the current square size. The default value is 16 (the RTP square size).
-You can set the resolution of the game and play it on fullscreen or not.
-You can create your own colors with your own names (the selection is automatic with a winforms dialog)
-I started the langage management. I'll finish it later.
-I implemented a custom list box similar to the RPG maker one. Here is an example :



Each item has an unique ID, you can change the maximum number of items, copy/paste, edit, delete... The only difference is that you can reorder the items as you wish by draging them. In fact, you always select an item according to its ID. The order in the list doesn't matter, it's only a better way to organize your items.
-Here is the beginning of system page design :



-Background color can be set in the map properties
-Beginning of tilesets management :



-So I made a preview picture dialog :



There is the same RTP system. There can be options on the right. You can even choose your RTP folder on options. I will talk about passage collision, autotiles etc on the next update.
-Correction of flash effects on scrolling for tileset selector for the map editor



That's all for this week, thanks for following my work. :)
