Game test v0.01

aerial perspective (false isometric) perspective to limit view zone

Still has some similarity, not the camera collide is the one I find hard. For example, the camera is centered at the player character.
It can take into account the facing for example, to show more what is in the front, and show less what is not in sight, but keeping the player model on screen. And this is just the top of the iceberg. It can consider for example if player getting attacked from behind, it can slightly goes back a bit to give more view of the back.

limit entity view in distance

I might not understand this. Maybe if you describe an example event where you want to use it and why.

Edit: Question: the blockmesh map you use in the tests is generated, or modeled?

For a large map I think creating groups of entities and when the player approaches show them and hide them when they move away.
But it can be very heavy for the speed, when running so many conditions. Any way, problems one by one hehe.
Now I'm trying to get the player into the vehicle

[miso]

1 big mesh with 1 texture is probably better than a lot of small ones. It depends on a lot of things. Selecting what to hide and what to show with best performance can be done with a data structure that is called quadtree. (Octree if 3D, but a topview game can be considered as a 2d field I think.)
Those can reduce the number of required iterations to a really small number.

If you want a simpler structure, you can divide your space to imaginary tiles of 20x20 for example. if your whole map is 10.000 unit, you know which tile your camera is in. you show props that is in your tile and those 1-2 away from the camera tile.

You can create an array of 20,20 that refers to a list. You add the entitynumber of the props to the list that are in the tile, so you can hide those that goes out, and show that goes in.

(Also don't animate enemies that are outside of view)

PS:Regarding the generated map: Cool
PS2: Also you can create the sections on the fly. if those are map elements. I have my own tests for that with great results. Textures must be pre-created, but mesh generation can be very fast.

Hey miso, yes i need limit scenary draw. Test scene have many block to stress the game and later when put real scenary the game run as is. Is my bad solution to keep speed more or less.

New test with the boys and the car.
Added, the guy can enter and exit from the car. And can drive when is in.
Added, now kicks work too.
Added, the guy use steering wheel.
Fixed, bug when enemy die animation stack.
Added, limited draw into screen.

Here is the video:

[pf shadoko]

it makes me happy to see such a demo!

shadows and skeletal animations have been very slow since PB 6.20, so I've made 2 functions to manage them via shader
viewtopic.php?p=642095#p642095
for your characters use: CreateMaterialEx(...,#SO_Txcolor|#SO_Anim,...)
if you use WorldShadowsEx, all materials created with CreateMaterialEx will manage shadows

[minimy]

Hello im happy too with results.
Thank you very much!
I've continued with 6.02 because I have problems with shadows on my models, I don't know why. I've used makeuman which is free and powerful to generate a model and export it to mesh to make sure it's not my CAD that exports wrong. But the result is the same. It's explained in this post viewtopic.php?t=87120

I would love to be able to use your shaders, they are very good and the shadows are realistic, really nice. The problem is that I make mistakes with all the models I make.

Next movie soon.
Added to the game:
Blood splash.
The guy can jump.
Kick no produce blood, weapons and car yes, a lot, is a carnage

To be continued...

[minimy]

Here the new video, the title is ketchup party
I need improve NPC colisions system

https://tvcry.net/downloads/TESTgame7.mp4

[minimy]

Textures and environment added to the project.
Todo, improve colisions and animations.

This is the new video with PB and OGRE logo hehe.
Original music for any part of the game... i dont know where, i will see..

[Fred]

That's wild haha

[CDXbow]

Brilliant work minimy. The NPC are just how I like them, dumb and lot's of blood. Keep up the good work.

[Caronte3D]

Your project is growing very fast!

[idle]

That's looking great.

[threedslider]

Awesome ! Nice work

[minimy]

Thank you very much to every one. This start like a test but is growing hehe.
I did an scenary editor for the game because put one by one every element with coordinates is a nightmare.
Scenary now just show visible objects.
Now with one file can load full maps with all items and colision system.
Ilumination was changed to directional light, result is better. And no change shadow orientation in long distance

In progress:
- IA for NPCs.
- Improve inventory.
- Multi mision system with primary and secondary mision objetives. (many types of misions)
- Dialogue for NPCs
- Sound system
- (will be nice a video system to play movies, i will see)

Was a little fight with mass and friction (car) but now is more realistic and control is better. If you have license..

A question: In 6.21 change any thing in pivot commands? because give me an error in 'GenericJoint' ??? idk why. In 6.02 work perfect.
I hope you enjoy the video as much as I do. (sounds is not from the game, is from the kitchen )

Im near to finish my NPC v2 now with physics (work really nice).
news:
The player now can walk and run while is shoting.
All NPCs are affected by physic forces, like explosions, collisions, falls and others.
NPCs now are included in factions to know who is enemy and who is friend.
Player and NPCs now have normalmap and look better.
Player control now is softly and quick to control.
All weapons now include more attributes, distance effective, damage, ratio action, cadence, and more.
New weapon grenades.. BOOOM!! With realistic physics effects.
System of particles and animations (spritesheet) for explosions, smoke, sand storm and more.
Included new screen FX: Fade to black (pasue all the game for menus, dialogues, etc) and bars to make cinematic aspect for cinematics and others.

Here is a litle example of total annihilation
