Benetnasch now has a speedometer for movement code examination, hull offset (so it's not huge as fuck past the head anymore) and separation from hitboxes, and I improved a ton of stuff under the hood (including the compile script!!!)

[Phantom Brave]

I got faucet networking from C++ in general and figured out how UDP works.


Also weapon rotation and horizontally flipping the character sprite work now, and I tweaked hitboxes.

[Phantom Brave]

Benetnasch just went through a major architectural overhaul. That was the last thing I could procrastinate networking with, so I guess I have to finally do networking now.

I might try to compile it on Linux later today again.

For those who keep up with this thread, this is holding me up this morning: https://github.com/Medo42/Faucet-Networking-Extension/issues/3

Definitely getting close to networking, though!

WE'RE ALMOST THERE.

Ooh networking.
Shame you don't accept pull-requests as donations.

Whoops, I accidentally the $10,000 I was gonna give you.

is that dangerous?

[billymaze]

How are weapons/collision detection going to work?

[Phantom Brave]

that's like the easy part, why are you asking

@Phantom Brave

I know it's been a couple of months since I've touched GG2, but would you like help on Benetnasch? Is your project still alive? I've been looking for a small project to kill free time with. Initially, I was thinking about picking up my old project of porting GG2 to C++, but your project seems to be much farther ahead and have the intention of becoming a "port" of GG2.

Also, you might be interested in some bits from my dead GG2++ that correctly parsed GG2 map data entities from the embedded text of the current PNG maps. It got to the point where I could spawn on the correct spawn points and run around on the actual maps. This should help the game take off without ditching all of the great community maps. (I did run into a roadblock getting libpng to work on Windows though). Look for the files with the names "mapdata" in my repository.

If you want development on anything in particular I'd be glad to help. I do have experience with SDL and C++, although most of my experience comes from embedded system programming.

I'm currently wrestling with core networking bugs, and accepting any outside help on other parts is just going to make it more difficult to do that. Once time goes on and it's actually usable at a basic level I'll be looking for more help, but I have like next to no guarantee that it'll be soon, since it's so frustrating to work on this specific class of bugs.

Even once I fix the bugs I need to renovate some of the architecture, but that should actually take a couple days or so.

That's understandable.

By the way, do you want to use what I have for map parsing? If you want to use it, I can put some more work into completing and polishing it. This can be done without involving your code at all.

Do you know if map formatting as moved forward at all? I just realized that we have the opportunity to add meta data and be able to experiment with it. It would be pretty cool if we can embed gamemode data or custom entities into the png.
