New hit/projectile Readme: Purposes: 1.Change the sure strike/sure miss projectile to 'real' ones 2.Added a 'collision' for projectiles 3.Target Prediction
Changes:
1. Projectiles changes:(files affected:projectiles.c projectiles.h)
1.1 Added global projNaybor list array.
1.2 Added global #define(s) for projNaybor, 1/2 range of droid to reduce
unnecessary naybor checks.
1.3 Added functions projGetNaybors function(merely a clone of droidGetNaybors
from droid.c)
to get a naybor list.
1.4 Changed proj_InFlightDirectFunc,proj_InFlightIndirectFunc to check all
naybors for possible impact
Extended projectile 'lifespan' for different types of weapons:(to
ensure a projectile is not simply disappeared
after it misses the intended target like old system)
MGs 1.2x
Cannon 1.5x
Missile 1.5x
1.4.1 Added a hit radius bonus to all weapons except LAS_SAT
to compensate the inability of hitting moving targets(or maybe the hit
radius of units are too small)
They are applied to TARGET_RADIUS check not WEAPON_RADIUS/SPLASH
Mgs 2 = sqrt(2) times
Cannon 3 = sqrt(3) times
Missile 4 = 2 times
AAGun 16 = 4 times
1.4.2 A missed projectile never deals damage in old hit system,now a projectile
which missed its intended target can still
deal damage to other objects that collide with it.(Artillery should
be more powerful now)
1.4.3 Get rid of the 'sure strike' stuff in wz.
Now theoretically your units can 'dodge' any non-homing projectiles
with proper micro,unlike another 'mainstream' RTS games.
1.5 Changed establishTargetRadius function to droid type,body size based.
Smaller units are a bit more hard to hit now while big units are easier
to hit now
DROID type bodysize hitRadius
LIGHT DROID_WEAPON LIGHT TILES/8 = 16
MEDIUM DROID_WEAPON MEDIUM TILES/8 + body_size * 16 = 32
HEAVY DROID_WEAPON HEAVY TILES/8 + body_size * 16 = 48
S.HEAVY DROID_WEAPON S.HEAVY TILES/8 + body_size * 16 = 64
CYBORG DROID_CYBORG N/A TILES/8 = 16
2.Combat Game Mechanics changes(files affected:combat.c)
2.1: Changed missed random offset to accuracy based from distance based(more
accurate when 'miss' with weapon with high acc)
2.2: Target Prediction
Simple Target Prediction to increase the accuracy of 'hit' shots.
predictX = cos([target move direction]) * [target velocity] * [actual
distance] / [weapon velocity];
predictY = sin([target move direction]) * [target velocity] * [actual
distance] / [weapon velocity];Multi-Turret Readme:
Purpose:
Add multiple turret support.
Changes:
1 DROID,DROID_TEMPLATE struct changes(files affected:droid.c droiddef.h)
1.1 Changed TurretRotation,TurretPitch variable in those structures to array:
TurretRotation[DROID_MAXWEAPS],TurretPitch[DROID_MAXWEAPS] respectively
global #define DROID_MAXWEAPS changed from 1 to 3
2 Action related functions changes(files affected:action.c ai.c action.h)
2.1 Changed ActionAlignTurret to align all turrets instead of the one in
asWeaps[0]
2.2 Changed ActionUpdateDroid to update all weapons info instead of the one in
asWeaps[0]
2.1 Changed ActionInRange,ActionInMine,ActionVisibleTarget to int from BOOL now
it returns a bitfield containing the weaponInRange info
result 1 = no weapon in range/reserved 3 = (1 + (1 << (weaponslot + 1))) =
first slot is available etc etc
3 Design interface changes(files affected:design.c)
3.1 Added 2 buttons for 2nd,3rd weapon(can add as many as DROID_MAXWEAPS but
there was no room for the 4th 5th buttons etc)
3.2 Number of turrets is based on BODY size currently:
1 for SIZE_LIGHT
2 for SIZE_MEIDUM
3 for SIZE_HEAVY and SIZE_SUPERHEAVY
3.3 Changed validCheck a bit to accept multiple asWeaps and made it loop
through all weapons to match the weapon nStat(id)
3.4 VTOL untouched because its attackRun will be screwed up if I add more
weapons to them
4 Game load/save changes(files affected:game.c)
4.1 Added a game save version V99 to store/convert from old saves to new format
because of TurretRotation/TurretPitch array change
Old save should be compatible with this change,but you cannot use converted
save games with old version of wz anymore.
5 Render/Display component changes(files affected:display.c component.c
component.h)
5.1 Added the ability to set matrix/loop through all weapons to render them on
a single droid in displayComponentObj.
5.2 Added the ability to use connectors positions other than 0(main turret)
1(VTOL) from a pie file to set display position for weapons.
5.3 TurretRotation/TurretPitch info conversion:from 2 variable to 2 array to
cope with the DROID struct changes
6 AssignWeapons/Templates txt data files change:
6.1 AssignWeapons now accept 2 more weapon fields:
Old
[name of template],[weapon name],[player num]
New:
[name of template],[weapon1 name],[weapon2 name],[weapon3 name],[player
num]
note:use NULL or whatever is not a weapon name for template with only 1
or 2 weapons.
6.2 Templates now gives some template designs 2 or 3 weapons to test AI's
multi-turret droid usage.
7 Game mechanic changes(files affected droid.c)
7.1 CalcDroidBaseSpeed now takes a body's engineoutput(it was wrongly commented
as 'a power generator's output' by someone...)
if (Totalweight > engineOutput)
{
//do nothing
}
else
{
baseSpeed *= 1.5f;
}
note:this doesnt work as intended because the data is weird,late game
bodies have 'super heavy' propulsion(e.g:tiger's track > its total
engineout...) and poor engine output
compare to early ones(mantis is a bug yes it's a big bug... 29000
engineoutput better than vengeance i think...)_______________________________________________ Warzone-dev mailing list Warzone-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/warzone-dev
