Majority of Recast Navigation code has been finally ported to Delphi.
Now I can switch back to more NG-related things. Plan is to make a test tool that will load NG map and try to build a Recast NavMesh on top of it, much like the demo above, but with an NG map instead of demo level.
Here on the screen is the first step of it – making a polymesh to feed into RecastNavigation navmesh generator.
This thing is monstrous! Luckily it’s simple and does not use any advanced data structures or C++ trickery.
State of the ported code:
Pathfinding and unit interaction (PUI) is a subsystem in the game responsible for most of the unit movements and interactions.
Today’s houses got more data-driven. Now it’s XML that governs which units can be trained in School/Fort/Barracks. Neat when you want to rebalance it 🙂
Spent this weekend coding the new wares handling for the houses. Now all the houses (except Market) store their wares in the same manner. This allows to experiment with Store/Barrcks/Camp/Fort wares set much more easily then before, without need to worry about special cases like “if ware is wtAll and house is htStore then ..”.
There’s one item I forgot to include into the “1k anniversary” post. I did not made it to the previous post date, but now, a day later, it is ready.
NextGame was born around a year ago. It’s time to summarize a little.
Been doing Sawmill textures this whole week by evenings and I must say – painting textures is my new passion 🙂
Basement stones texture for Sawmill
TL;DR: It’s hard to say. I don’t think there’s a game which style I could name a 100% reference.
