Sound of silence

-
Well silence came to my blog (Again :P).

Once again come to me that I complete forgot about posting some information how the development go on. Sorry for that but I spend as much time in development as I can (there is not to much time for it lately but well I managed to do some things). The final effect for it is that I forgot to post news.

But I need to thank in this place for support that you guys giving me even without any updates from my side. Thanks for that it mean really a lot for me.

So there were few changes:

  • There is happening big change in the way I handle resources. Right now I added functionality which prepare as much data as it can offline. Saying simpler : 
    • Quicker launching of game,
    • And a lot nice tricks and possibilities of extending to my collection. 
  • I started porting project to Linux (this is very early stage of this process) but in meantime of porting I do cleanup and extending capacity of system so it take a little bit more time.
  • I thinking also about increasing minimal requirement. There will be need graphics cards supporting at least OpenGL 3.1 because I would like support Uniform Buffer Object Extension which should give me some additional performance.
In meantime of course I do a lot of smaller changes which I will skip for you. But well I'm assure you that project is still going on and look a lot better with each next submit. 

That's why if everything will go fine I should have more news, movies, screenshots. But well there is still a lot of work in front of me. And I need to focus on them because my task is not easy but I try my best.

Query commands execution

So like always start with problem description: I have some pool of command represented as enumerator. Each of command can have unique data that size can be different. I wanted to create system that allow me in easy way iterate over them and execute.  After some time I created this implementation: template<ECommands::enum cmd> bool execCommandTemp(ECommands::ENUM a_cmd, void* a_data) { if (a_cmd == cmd) { SCommand<cmd>::execute((SCommand ::SData*)a_data); return false; } return execCommandTemp<(ECommands::ENUM)(cmd+1)>(a_cmd, a_data); } template<> bool execCommandTemp<ECommands::WRAP>(ECommands::ENUM a_cmd, void* a_data) { return true; } bool execCommand( ECommands::ENUM a_cmd, void* a_data ) { return execCommandTemp<(ECommands::ENUM)0>(a_cmd, a_data); } where SCommand look in example such a way: template <> st...

And as I said last time new preview is available: As you can see a lot has changed. Right now I mostly focus on gameplay so I do test of AI (some of them you can see on end of movie), changes in fight, items managing, fix some problem with physics and many other things. To say truth I don't remember them all :P So I'm going back to work and till next week.

Few words about remake

Time is something funny we don't notice when but it pass by so quickly. Few months ago I announced release of this pre-alpha build. Then it was so far away right now only a little bit more then month left. You probably wondering what changed in this time. So below you will find some summary of biggest changes (from my point of view): Component base architecture  Decision on big changes in engine architecture aren't easy. I think that transition from class base approach which looked like that : class CGameObject class CModelObject : public CGameObject class CPuppetObject : public CModelObject class CChcaracterObject: public CPuppetObject  to component base ( like in Unity 3D ) was one of the biggest and most problematic changes that I done in White Rabbit Engine in last years. I needed to change a lot of code, don't break the game that I have and in the same time change my approach to resolving problems.  Level Editor : New com...
