Cataclysm: DDA: Tiles: Part One: The port

[Tase]

[quote=“The Darkling Wolf, post:3, topic:412”]Assuming we can get someone to draw tiles. Because I sure as hell won’t be. And I won’t be holding up development to wait for someone to either

Someone?

Does the “horizontal walls” bug exist because there’s no proper declaration and is easy to fix, or is it something you cannot fix right now?

Also is there the transitioning possible, which you could use to make stuff like proper tables, beds, slides for parks etc?

I am at work now, but I should return home in the morning, so I will definitely take a look.[/quote]

The horizontal bug only exists because I didn’t want to replace all the t_wall_v and t_wall_h with a regular t_wall (same goes for metal walls, and other h/v things) because I want to keep non-tiles mode in there. Having only t_wall would make all the walls look like the same glyph. I looked around the code but I couldn’t find where he says “t_wall = this tile”, he keeps h/v for glass walls but I couldn’t find out how to use the same tile as t_wall_v for t_wall_h.

I used to draw sprites for fun, can you possibly just download the C:DDA with tileset and add your own sprites without the programming part?

[GlyphGryph]

Since Deon and Rushmilk didn’t do much programming, I’m assuming so.

Wow i saw this yesterday and figured like many of these things today i would come back and no obvious progress would be noticeable and here i check and it looks like its a plan coming together, i really hope the windows version issues gets fixed, i really don’t like virtual machines, anyways good luck guys, i made my own tileset for the first one but all the crashes with windows pissed me off to no end so i never got to enjoy it and didn’t really bother to try to distribute it

im certainly going to track this till its either finished or dead, which seems unlikely now =D

[Mr_Lolz]

pretty pumped for this

[Alpha]

scratch what i said earlier, wheres the progress I’ve been tracking the hell out of it and it seems more and more dead as i check on a daily basis
Id help if i could but I’m not to great with this stuff i just love the game but don’t agree with the community that tilesets aren’t worth the effort

[Tase]

DDA itself is changing a lot, lots of changes in the UI, new menu, changed placements, dynamic viewport resizing on linux.

So on top of me not really knowing the whole system to draw those windows, DDA isn’t exactly in it’s final state in terms of graphics, so it’s kinda futile to update the tiles version when tomorow something else is going to change.

But mainly im busy with an other project in DDA.

But if someone has any pointers on fixing a few bugs on the tileset version, do share them.

[Deon]

So, is anyone working on it? I am eager to start spriting :).

[Deon]

Cmon, someone?

I can expand my old one, or work on this new cartoonish one I have in mind:

[GlyphGryph]

I actually saw Tase around today!

But I don’t know what’s going on with it, which is terrible. It’s one of the things I want so, so bad.

After I finish my item rewrite (another two weeks, at least), if no one else is working on it, I might try my hand. Who knows how far I’ll actually get, though.

The new style looks /freaking awesome/.

Cartoonish or not, that looks pretty steller.

[kenoxite]

Indeed, that’s pretty awesome, Deon. I like how you’re taken care of following a consistent color palette. That’s usually sadly overlooked.

[daftigod]

hello, i’m new

i’ve been working on a set this week myself, and it’s definitely leaning heavily towards the cartoony side if that’s your thing.

it’s working in-game with deon’s last pack (nice work!) for vanilla cataclysm. i’ve been adding some of the newer stuff for 1.6 as i go, including wearable weapons, boarded windows/doors and some other items. i’d say it’s about 70% done for regular cataclysm, and it’s 24x24 only.

anxiously awaiting tile support in DDA! thanks for continuing development!

[Soron]

hello, i’m new

Hey, I know you! You’re the guy who did the OldRPG tileset for ToME!

Enjoy Cataclysm :).

[Deon]

It’s great that we are going to have a few people dedicated to tileset support. Once it works we may even start an art team and support each other to make development faster and better for everyone.

I like that tileset a lot, Daftigod.

[daftigod]

yeah it’s me soron! thanks for recognizing my stuff!

deon - thanks! i’m down with whatever i can do to help out. i’m stll working with 1.6, and waiting patiently for some super brain to figure out tile support for DDA. but, when i complete the set i will post a link for 1.6, and feel free to hack at the new config file i’m working on!

here’s the finished park set, based on your work! the player is wearing a combat helmet, utility vest, backpack, army pants, sneakers, and safety glasses.

edit - sneaky zombie about to taste a sawed-off !

Now that’s neato! Have to figure out some way of getting that old variable terrain back into action. You know, so all the grass can look proper rather then kinda cluttered as they look like individual objects. I imagine it’d make forests look a bit less barren.

I have a feeling this is dead…

[Nopkar]

Im so used to ASCII between dwarf fortress and this that a tileset isn’t needed. HOWEVER, do not lose hope oh ye of little faith.

from what I have seen of the code this is one gnarly of a mother and it will be difficult to code support for a tile set.

it may be some time but a tile set is much sought after and I have faith that the dev team will get around to that when the features get flushed out.

it may not look like a sexy game right now, but it’s got it where it counts

Tase is probably just busy, don’t forget that we’re all just working on the project in our spare time here, speed isn’t really something that should be expected.
