Wolfire Games Forums

Found a bug (of sorts) but it's probably not worth fixing.



if you zoom in then pan around in big circles around the board, the screen rotates gradually. Also the zoom view isn't locked to the board, you can go off into the void

Oh god don't start mentioning that, you'll have every tween that joined in october PMing you. It depends where wolfire want to go with their forums, what kind of people they want to encourage coming to the forums and what kinds of discussions they want to have happen here as to what kind of moderato...

'Edit' button is right next to your 'quote' button there Noz. I think in games it is hard to really make the player feel much regret for killing anyone, and the anthropomorphic animals in OG make it quite a bit more of a challenge for the devs to get players to relate to the enemies well enough to a...

Heaps of things, variables are given proper data types to minimize typecasting, loops are shortened and simplified, functions are unified, commented code is removed, objects (namespaces?) are clipped, the rendering system is tidied up - for instance shaders can be reworked to provide simpler code - ...

It's a natural progression of a game that garners attention that the whirling masses of demanding consumer slobs will eventually make their way onto the forums. The vast majority of suggestions (read: demands) here are made by tweens that have no idea. Up until recently I raged hard at all the absol...

HMMMMMMmmmm... Yes that looks like it is hardcoded. Probably part of the in-game browser. I guess you'll have to make your own menu with javascript and have that built on click. You might be able to do some tricky code insertion like and use document.getElementsByTagName("*") in the challe...

The devs haven't decided if they will licence the engine after overgrowth, and since it has been made specifically for overgrowth it is hard to make a different type of game on it. David has said that he doesn't think licensing is a good idea. As for making a game like new Vegas, that's a ridiculous...

Nice shader work, care to explain how the glow works? Do you use a grayscale map for illumination? Could it be... additive?

Been playing with collision spheres in OG. This counts as fan art, right?

You could probably add them now. A bit of transparency on a model and modify a shader to ignore ambient light (I think it's called 'additive') - voila. Or perhaps a particle system for a more advanced look.

Local lighting is on the list of things to do. Personally it's my most eagerly awaited feature of the engine. I'm wondering if David is going to make simple bakeable point lighting or if he'll make dynamic shadow casting lights. I know Aubrey wants lights for fires, but if you can make a dynamic sha...

Pulled some old swords out of the archive that I made for a different game, they're not really OG style but I wanted to make something for OG so I put them in. I also filmed myself putting them all in, the first two videos messed up unfortunately and so this one is lacking enthusiasm a bit but if pe...

I don't really understand the problem. You can't create the button element? That would be this: var but = document.createElement('button'); var text = document.createTextNode("Challenge Maps"); but.appendChild(text); but.addEventListener("click", function(){ alert("Yey!"...

yeah there are lines that say #include but I think the # is a line comment (I don't know C or AS) I'm going to have a better look at some point, I broke my game so I should get it going first

selimoy wrote:*sadness* maybe a different 'game' where it is just the same thing as the alphas but you create your own guy. maybe the new game doesnt even have a campaign. its just like an alpha, and someone adds the character creator. or a mod. any good modders reading this? DO IT! PLEASE!

Do it yourself.
