New Version! New buildings! A minimap!

[Bearskie]

Neat work as always, Japa.

How would I go around loading a 40.24 fortress like Constructivory in the latest Armok Vision? Is there an old remotefortressreader for backwards compatibility, or do I have to upgrade the save to 43.05?

[Rose]

40.24 saves can load in 43.05 DF perfectly fine, so that's the recommended way to see it in Armok Vision.

I can make a version of the required plugins pretty easily, but they won't necessarily have the full feature set of the latest DF plugin.

Alright, thanks Japa. Thoughts on implementing cave-in dust?

[Rose]

It's one of the things I'll have to do eventually, but I'm not sure how I'll do it yet.

It's one of the things I'll have to do eventually, but I'm not sure how I'll do it yet.

I'd probably suggest particles. They scale well (can do a tile wide or an obscure shape), have numerous applications (fire, dust, polish), and performance is easily tweaked. 
There's also a million ways to implement it within unity.

I was wondering if it were possible for a future Armok Vision to render gem windows as they appear in game, flashing the color of the gems used to build it, instead of a flat, semi-transparent color.  It would be a neat effect if seen in 3d.

I'm actually working on gem windows right now.

They won't be animated, though. They will just show all three gem colors.

Is the minimap generated from the 3D models (with a top down camera for example) or separately (say, by assigning a colored pixel per tile)?

[Rose]

From the models. It's just another camera.

You can even save a higher resolution version of it.
