[whitevo]

O boy, I haven't made much of progress with the new content.
Mainly I have been organizing my scripts again.

The "questSystem" I created last patch is taking over practically everything xD (renamed it into 'central')
This is going to change how data folders will look like.

Currently I have the old data folders what I can't delete without source edits and several new ones.​

If something amazing comes out of this thread: https://otland.net/threads/lua-xml-get-finaly-rid-of-xml.242867/, I will probably go with the flow and shake off the entire TFS data folder organizing structure.

That's enough about complicated stuff.
I am considering not to patch server this week, because I won't be able to add in the new quest. Thinking of interesting quest out of blue is rather exhausting xD
Almost finished scripting the new area though, so it would be fun to explore it none the less.

However people still popping in and out giving suggestions and reporting bugs, so I might still update server to do add in the suggestions/bug fixes and things I have done so far.

After I have finished up coding bandit mission and the new area map stuff I start with suggestions and bugs.
If there is interest to see them right away I will patch server, else I hold onto updates until the new quest is also completed.

 

[whitevo]

New patch is just around the corner.
Tomorrow going to rework all the stone upgrades I have in game and then new patch ready.

Nice new load of 40 improvements and bug fixes will be brought and new mission and area!!
This is first mission in Whi World where you have to choose how to complete it.
Depending on your option, the story you receive in Bandit Mountain will split in 2 (for now) (well 3, but only the third option if you are really evul)

And seems like people like searching for secrets (yet none has been found xD)
Well I added 3 more to the bunch, gl

Like I have mentioned before, the next patches will be small ones if anything.
Going trough my data folder and reorganizing areas, quests and mission related codes so that in future its easier to know where to write new codes and fix problems.

Today I finished with forgotten village scripts and forest area scripts + forest spirit quest.
next up: cyclops dungeon area and 2 quests in there.

 

[whitevo]

Today I finished with Cyclops Dungeon area and 2 quests in there. + boss room + reworked token bags (dw once upon login your tokens bags will be automatically updated, this time I was not that lazy to script it xD)
Also forgot to add monsters to previous areas, so did that too.

datapack is starting to look pretty neat and with that some minor quality improvements have be done to quests too.
next up: bandit Mountain

Meanwhile in Whi World. Another person completed patch 0.1.5
Deam this patch is getting record number players completing my beta xD

(I don't include myself)
Patch 0.1.1 (1 person)
patch 0.1.2 (1 person)
Patch 0.1.3 (1 person)
Patch 0.1.4 (nobody)
Patch 0.1.5 (5 people) -- even though patch is not finished, missing mummy and boss, but have been missing them for like 6 months now?

 

[whitevo]

no patch this weekend. But update on website.

 

[whitevo]

Yesterday finished organizing Bandit mountain and few quest and missions regarding that area.
Also a small step back with organizing, I decided to split areas into smaller regions, which means I had to go back to other areas and update these as well.
Today going to finish up Bandit Mountain and move onto to less scripted areas like Hehemi and Rooted Catacombs.

Can't wait for the bandit mountain patch

 

[whitevo]

Can't wait for the bandit mountain patch

What do you mean? Its already done. Patch 0.1.5.7
Currently I'm just reorganizing every bit of code I have regarding map, missions and quests. This will allow me to build content much faster and in organized fashion.
Even though fixing problems hasn't been problem, but this new organising method will guarantee it will stay easy if the quest/mission amount reaches to hundreds instead of handful I currently have on live server.

 

[seba2632]

It seems bugged, that's why I thought you were fixing it

What is bugged?

 

[whitevo]

Hehemi area is finished.
Once again went trough all previous areas and improved them all even more and started up with rooted catacombs

3 more areas to finish:
rooted catacombs - will take some time, but its not heavily scripted and it somewhat has an old areaConfig system version as blueprint, which should make it easier.
starting area - only secrets in this area, so that will go fast.
tutorial area - will take some time, it is most scripted area after all, however it was already quite well designed so it shouldn't be that hard to convert to new central system.

Now that over half of the data pack is converted to use central system I can see it all was worth it.
I have said that the reason why I do this, but I think I haven't said what does it do.
Basically when I start up my server, all the central configuration tables get processed.
Depending on configurations it will generate/register to correct places (I no longer create scripts under onUse or onStepIn, etc. It will automatically put/create the scripts in correct place)
I no longer register objects separately in actions.xml, movements.xml, etc. (i still use it but it looks like this: fromAid="xx" toAid="xx") thx to improved lua documentation there is no problems by making toAid to register 1000 extra aid spots which may not even exist in game atm.
I can do less systematic things on RME(create item text, add actionID's, add unique ID's, or not even make objects) and let central system to manipulate, create or remove objects at startUp at once.
I did notice, it takes several seconds more to start up server, but not sure I should be worried about server startUp speed. It does go trough over 10000 tiles, creates scripts, moves things around, etc.

Anyway this was just quick overview of what did this new reorganizing brought to my project. After all, I'm not just creating Whi World, I'm creating game creator where the first product is Whi World.

It seems bugged

You still haven't said what seems bugged. I can't improve or fix something so vague, I need some more details.

 

[whitevo]

Deam, you don't believe what just happened today. Wont gona talk about either. hue. Ppl from closed circles can only know what happened and when they read this comment. They understand.
Ha

Also since I'm high. I will tell you where I'm at with Whi World.
heh. deam went do deep. deleted 30mins of text xD

Aight easier topic. where im at with scripts.
Finished first room in Rooted catacombs.
Skeleton warriors
Changed the "bless hunt" into quest. this new central system, is taking care of the quest generation.
It worked perfectly. ~6hours and entire skeleton warrior scripts were generated trough 1 file with quite decent configuration table

PS, if someone knows already about bone mission and how to complete it. Then i just reworked it too. tested this morning
its also now in mission log, because what do you know.. central system can do it

wait a sec, I just realized I have been writing this post for 1 hour and in silence..
Going to turn music up with Steelseries, if you get my reference then lets take drink together.

woot, music. idk why i chose chillout, but well, its nice chill feel. This was the Alfa afterall.

hue, next song waked me up xD, house chill got my feelz.

Ok hmm, where was i?

Ah yea, Skeleton warrior room is ready.
next up ghost room.
the statue quest more easier, npc's start helping how to do the quest alone. I'm still trying RPG here xD, instead of making gamer easier I will make AI teach how to play a bit harder RPG what requires actual skill to play.
Like league of legends, but PVE, mysteries with the same PVP xD (idk sry I think 1v1 Pvp must last at least 10min, before your hp runs down)
next set of items will try to make pvp just like that, but these items you get trough pve (must have challenges to where you get to use the items/spells, but you can take it to pvp when you complete specific quest) Aka just like any other game xD
woo Cloudline started. Time to trip out with mind!

Oi mis siin toimub, see postitus lendab laiva haha, liiga real. Peaks foldima aga siis selline tunne et keegi saab üle. Mis arvad?
kek, did proof reading my own. Still sux thx. yes. even you.

POST 1 IS UPDATED

 

[whitevo]

Today finished with ghost room.
Nerfed and buffed ghosts a little. They no longer stop you from moving (most of the time), but I did increase their damage.
Npc know a little more about ghost room (well before they didn't know anything xD)
The statue "puzzle" is turned into quest and now a lot harder.

next up ghoul room.

 

[whitevo]

Today finished with ghoul room.
No idea did I increase the performance how the puzzle will work, but it sure looks better now.
Completing puzzles will complete the ghoul quest you get when you enter the room.
Npc's will help you if you don't know how puzzles work. (incase you didn't figure it out your own)
Also now when you enter rooted catacombs you get skillpoint and unlock the shortcut. (the temporar shortcut in smith house will remain)
This concludes the rooted catacomb scripts.

next up setting up boss rooms and recreating boss system.
I have 4 different boss related configuration tables and the functions themselves are scattered around the datapack. (right now counted 12 different files)
The goal is to convert it all into 1 config table, rework all functions and put them in 1 file.
Then I can organize all the bosses and bossrooms into central system.

Not sure will I work on them this weekend. Its quite a large task too, will c. Either way I will be back and grinding scripts on Monday.
