I'm putting this update up on the blog.

This is one of the biggest milestones we've reached.  Now we need to reach more.

[Lap]

For those of you who want to help, anyone can make ascii maps using something as simple as notepad or http://asciipaint.com/

Just make a map of anything and through up a key/legend for your map.

Even without art skills, there's a lot of data that needs to get entered in text files if you'd like to help with that.

We of course always need more sprites.

Great work mang, I'll start cranking out some walls and floor tiles.

2. Existing members of the team get a morale boost knowing this game can actually be completed.

I can tell you I feel like doing more when I see more stuff coming from the people doing the highly specialized labor.

I just wanna get some mechanics nailed down finally though But you're busy doing mind-blowing stuff like city generation, so it's coo.

Awesome blog post. And awesome map generation. I love all of you guys.
I think I'll get to working on some of the loot and more item code stuff...I put in all the guns into the guns.lua file, I think. If I haven't, just point it out to me and I'll do those. I'll also get to the swords...probably make a new lua file for swords, and link that to the game.lua file? Yeah.

Also, here's the blood I was doing in the effects section of the thing, posted here for more opinions. Someone mentioned that blood would look better as a blendier, foggier substance, so it could be layered, like in the original Serial Killer roguelike. What do you guys think?

[nenjin]

So is the forum server down?

[Soadreqm]

Seems to be.

[Kusgnos]

I tried to get on it yesterday, and was all because it didn't load. Still not working as of now, either.

[mendonca]

I've been itching to get on it as well ... but instead of readin the forums I have been drawing floor tiles, so its not all bad ...

[Lap]

Auto restart program on the server got killed and after it went down it forgot to come up. It's all good now.

Adding to SVN...

[Sir Pseudonymous]

Gah, I've just now gotten around to downloading this. I've been rather preoccupied with other things. Mostly HellMOO, which I got back into because of a discussion on the piratepad about it...


I suppose I'll do what I said I'd do, and make an item editing gui, and then get back to studying lua...


Is there supposed to be a map at this point? Because all I'm getting is the interface over a black screen when I try to run it...

[Kusgnos]

Indeed. It seems that the map generator is not entirely working. I put the stuff into the module, and just now tested it, expecting a harmonious mix of beauty, but all I got was a black screen as well. Also, it never gets past the saving screen when you try to exit. Map generator issue? Was it not worked in properly? I'm guessing it can't save because the data for the map generation is missing...something like that. Lap, how did you get it to work?

[Grishnak]

Ive got a random map generator written in python that I can have spit out txt files of map layouts. One is more dungeon based, and another is a cavern generator. I can pump out a bunch of generated maps if anyone wants.

[nenjin]

Go register on the forums and speak with Lap. If you could write a (housing) plot generator, that would save a lot of time creating filler content.

[Grishnak]

Done, and made a topic instead of pming Lap
