Finished up the model export for now.

[Immortal-D]

On a serious note, that is brilliant beyond words.

[Max™]

Argh, this is why I was avoiding this thread, I can't play with these toys!

That model export is beautiful.  Certainly this will allow those who wish it, to export their maps to a SecondLife space and populate it with, say, garden gnomes standing in for the dwarves.

And this is quite obviously the entire reason DARPA developed the Internet.

Sarcasm aside I prefer it to their intended use. Nice work as always Japa. Seeing all the stuff you've got up to encouraged me to program regularly again.

Eh, I've been wanting to export DF maps to a multiple-user space for some time now, but haven't had the required skills or know-how to do so.  The DF worlds and histories have been a staple in my pen and paper RPG's for some time now.  To be able to export them via adventure mode into "places" my players can explore as a group, is just awesome.

Easy to tell there's been a new interesting DF release! Crickets around here! That's Ok, its keeping us all busy!

Actually, I've been banging my head against the wall figuring out how I want to handle creature graphics.

2D sprites? I'd be fine with sprites, even if it's a placeholder. Get some pictures off the internet, alpha map them, and throw 'em in. Maybe the simplest solution? Full-scale models could be a serious lag problem if there are lots of creatures anyway.

[Rose]

Sprites aren't an issue, I can just use stonesense sprites.

It's the config stuff in the backend that's the problem.

[Putnam]

Config stuff meaning like Stonesense's XML? Something specific that's different causing issues there?

[Rose]

I guess it's not so much a specific difficulty with the programming itself, but more that every time I open it up to work on it, I just feel all my enthusiasm drain away.
I really just have to force myself through it until I get past the boring parts, but it's hard.

[CharonM72]

I've been having a similar problem with updating my map generator to show sites and structures. I know exactly how to do it but it's tedious. But whenever I look at some of the maps that it's produced, and when I see aerial maps of cities and countries, it inspires me.

If only work and my girlfriend didn't take up all my time...

[Rose]

Heh, you just have work and girlfriend.

I have work, wife, AND daughter.
