Sailerius: 62 hours [Goal: 60 Hours]
- Thread starter Sailerius
- Start date
Put four hours into revising dialogue yesterday. In the process of doing so, I discovered, interestingly enough, that Act III has the least amount of dialogue of the three episodes, unless you count optional content. I'm about a quarter of the way through the main quest now (up to the Darxinger/Vel quest now). This is kind of boring but oh well, it has to be done. Maybe when I finish this up, I'll start on adding the new content.
I'm not allowed to count school work toward the total, but because it's a lot more interesting, I thought I'd show a screen of a shader I've been working on for my graduation project.

Rather than just increasing the brightness of surfaces, the lighting model used in this shader also increases the saturation with respect to the amount of light hitting it.

Spent two hours revising dialogue until I got bored of it and started working on something for another project. I'm building a domain-specific scripting language for stage directions in RPG cutscenes that's designed to be engine-independent. Two hours was spent writing examples and the specification and another two was spent working on an RGSS implementation. Presently, it can read (very simple) dialog commands and translate them to message windows.
Had today (mostly off), so I spent 6 hours working on implementing an interpreter for my eventing language. Got basic message commands working.
For example, an input of
produces this:

The syntax is pretty simple. It normally goes
But since dialog will be such a commonly-used function, an unstated function name is assumed to be the "say" function.
For example, an input of
Code:
arshes "herpa derp";produces this:

Code:

What, how dare you be beating me.

Finished adding event movement. That wasn't nearly as bad as I was expecting. I might add in A* so that instead of saying
you can say
Of course, adding in pathfinding means a lot of annoying edge cases that I'll have to cover. I wonder if there's already a decent A* script for RMXP.
Code:
event_move up 3;
event_move right 4;
Code:
event_move_to 32 48;I was going to devote today to gammak, but tragedy struck and long story short, I spent 7 hours fixing my Windows install. I was able to spend three hours implementing some new methods in my scripting system, though: event_alpha, event_turn, event_rotate, fade, and event binding.
