[WIP] My Basic RTS : Codename NaW

[Roland_Yonaba]

Code: Select all

function Map:writeCMap()
   local f = io.open('cMap.txt','w')
   if f then
      for y in ipairs(self.cMap) do
         for x in ipairs(self.cMap[y]) do
         f:write(self.cMap[y][x]) --line 73     
         end
      f:write('\n')
      end
      f:close()
   end  
end 

My bad. Thanks Robin. A keyboard related issues, i guess.

Hi,

I've been working on some issues with map and terrain generation, adding some graphics to make the game looking more realistic.
A minimap was added too, with some new features.
I can envision implementing unit class from now on..

I sometime get lines in between tiles: you may want to ensure that x and y are whole numbers when you render your tiles.

I also noticed on the mini map that the pixels representing the resources get bunched up along the lower and right edges.

i noticed that as well. also i would like to be able to move around with my mouse by placing near the edge of the direction i want to go.

Well, I didn't encounter such problem.. Bu I'll have a look, might be easy to fix.

Nice idea. I can easily add this feature.

Yeah, I already noticed that. Seems to be related to the way I made the conversion from map to minimap coordinates. I'll check that, Thanks.

Hi all,

This is not a new release, but just a fix. Most of the problems listed up before were solved.
Theoritically.

- It is now possible to scroll map using placing the cursor at the edges of the screen.
- Updated conversion between map and minimap coordinates.

I'll be happy to have feedback and nice ideas to improve. Thanks.

Dragging over the minimap should not create a selection rectangle. I won't comment on the questionable legality of using ripped AOE sprites. Is there a way to unselect things, btw?

That's true. Fixed.

I do not have tileset/images related to RTS.So I use them just for development stage.

Yep. Right button Mouse.

It's getting better.

Too bad the selection rectangle disappears when you mouse over the map.
Also, when you scroll while selecting, the rectangle moves with the viewport, instead of being able to select more than fits on a single screen, which I'd find more intuitive.
You could draw the selection rectangle with an offset of (.5, .5), so the line is sharp.
