Hi everyone,

I made a few experiments and now I have a very crude, very basic FPS fortress viewer.

I'm not sure if it can be of interest to someone but here it is.

https://github.com/arfost/dwarfy-caster

Since I'm no artist assets and graphismes are a mess with many placeholders or ill adapted free assets found on the internet, and sorry in advance for all the bugs.

Here is a screenshot of a dwarf bedroom.

my pasture:

is there a way to increase the draw distance? I'd like to see my towering pyramid in all its glory

[arfost]

You can change the draw distance with the parameters in the url, "10,5" mean 10 tiles in front and 5 tiles up/down, you can change them as you want (but it can hit perf heavily)

What sort of floor/ceilling do you have in your pasture ? So I can fix the texture choice which seems to have an issue

The ground is grass and the ceiling is constructed

[arfost]

Strange grass and construction are working on my fort. I guess there is a particularity here. All textures are failing or just this place ?

There are quite a few errors printed on the console about missing textures:

there are too many to list, but here's a sample:

Code: [Select]

[Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'client/assets/sprites/SHEET.png'] {
  errno: -2,
  code: 'ENOENT',
  syscall: 'open',
  path: 'client/assets/sprites/SHEET.png'
}

  errno: -2,

}

The assets/sprites directory contains:

the mixture of lower case and upper case files might be the cause of some of the missing textures, but at least some (like SHEET.png) don't seem to exist in any form.

also, am I doing something wrong with the depth? increasing the parameters in the URL don't seem to change the view. I don't think I can see any further or any higher.

Oh you are not on windows, I couldn't test on other system, and the upper/lower case could be the issue depending on the OS.
Some assets don't exists and are replaced by placeholders when failing, but almost every texture should be there.
I'll try rename everything with correct case and publish another version, hopefully it should solve most of the textures issues.

For the depth it's probably that the DF datas are not loaded. I load them by "chunk" which are 4 z-level below/above the player position so you probably have to go up a few level to force chunk loading and then they will show up (once they have been loaded once, they will continue to show up even when leaving the chunk)

I'm currently working on a better chunk/loading system, it should be solved for the next version if I managed to do what I want to.

Thanks for the feedbacks and bug report, it help me a lot.

[arfost]

Ok so it seems the upper/lower case issue is from github.
I had already renamed all files in uppercase but github don't see a difference and continue to send them as lowercase when doing a git clone.
The released version should be the same as master, but with the assets names in uppercase.

Can you tell me if it work better please ?

[myk]

I believe you'd have to remove the files entirely, commit the change, then re-add them with changed filenames. There are also options you can change about case sensitivity, but removing and adding the files is probably easier.

[arfost]

Yes I didn't have time to do it earlier but it's done now, git clone should send assets with the correct name

[myk]

Definitely better. I can see mist, but ocean waves are mix of visible mist and non-loaded OCEANWAVE:

[arfost]

Ocean wave don't have sprites for now so that's "normal", I don't have time to work a lot this week but someone made a PR with sprites extracted from DF and it's way better than what I had and more complet. It's need some work for some textures that are not adapted to FPS view but the next release probably mid june, should be way more beautiful and more accurate to DF.

[arfost]

I'm a bad dev, can't do anything good and my ideas are stupid, so their won't be anything more done on that project since there is no point. Sorry everyone.
