Help section / Setting up a Range Skeleton Archer?

« on: September 30, 2019, 12:05:49 pm »

Hi,

I am almost done setting up the Skeleton Archer, I have the animations ready for the front, the back will take me about 1-2 hours to finish but the shooting doesn't work. Im not sure in which script I would indicate that the archer actually needs to shoot arrows?

I've got 3 scripts for each MOBS data, not including the spawning of them.

*MobSkeletonArcher.cs => General Data
*SkeletonSkeletonArcher.cs => Skeleton Data
*ItemWeaponSkeletonBow.cs => Mob Weapon Data - its set as a range weapon as i checked the pistols and other range weapons but the Skeleton actually shoot anything and no damage is done to the character.


So i still would need to setup arrow projectiles to be shot from the bow and to make the scripts actually tell the SkeletonArcher to Shoot...

Please help!

Mods / [Client+Server] Skeleton MOB Mod V0.0.1 Released!

« on: September 30, 2019, 08:41:02 am »

Skeleton MOB Mod V1.0.0



Mod type: Client-Server mod.

Latest version: 0.0.1

Supported game version: Latest

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1CybqiwUU1HcPRfvs71z1iFkUwu0sRAP9

The skeleton Asset is coming from a purchase i made in Unity for the asset here:
https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/characters/humanoids/dungeon-skeletons-pack-50675
https://polygonblacksmith.wixsite.com/home

The Skeleton 3d to 2d transition is achieved by using the Unity3d asset:
https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/sprite-management/sprite-baking-studio-3d-to-2d-31247


EDIT: I will soon update to better animations and better graphics. I don't have Spine Esoteric Software yet for InvertedKinematics usage and i zoomed in a bit too much the sprites and they don't really good that way.

Help section / Making JSON animations for Cryofall?

« on: September 28, 2019, 03:03:27 pm »

Hi, I am trying to make new characters for Cryofall. My goal is to make Skeleton MOBs Swordman/Axeman/Archers from 3d models that i have. There will also be different equipments on them. I can easily do the 3d to 2d conversion but how would i make the JSON files?

I've purchase the software Spine Essentials 1 day ago, yesterday, and noticed that i cant even use InvertedKinematics options on the original JSON MAleFront SkeletonBones as it says its a feature from Spine Pro? anyone knows of any alternatives? If i remove the IK, it breaks all of the animations and i would have to re-do them myself. That is my last solution coz over 200$ for what little Spine Esoteric Software does, i'd rather use my money somewhere else. I feel i got totally ripped off paying over 80$ CAD for the Spine Essential.

I still like the software though as it makes for such an easy workflow but its so overpriced that it saddens me.

EDIT: Nevermind, It seems to not be that much harder without IK. Im going to keep on making the original animations without IK so that i can use them for my characters.

Ideas and suggestions / Cryofall Map Modification?

« on: September 26, 2019, 09:12:27 pm »

Hi,

I am getting annoyed by my personal projects. Recently I've had a ton of "lacking knowledge" to move forward on a physics engine, on my VR Texture2d to Geometry shader for minecraft type of terrain... etc... I am getting so annoyed and the next step in Void Expanse is a pain too. Gotta create colliders out of blender made destructible station parts by calculating the width and depth of object inside of blender using Python... I didn't start writting a script for that, i got annoyed before i started.

I read the Cryofall Forums Posts and Mods a bit and wanted to get more info on the current capabilities of the Cryofall engine. The last time I tried to build a server, my goal was to remove EVERYTHING from the game except for the player and the MAP. My goal was to find a way to modify the map OR create another "instance" of the map so that players can move from map to map. My goal was to understand the Core of Cryofall before re-adding the assets. I failed and left Cryofall behind.

My questions are:
1. Do you have any plans to make Cryofall kinda "infinite 2d terrain"?
2. Do we already have access to API that modifies the terrain size?
3. Do we already have access to API were you can create a second MAP from script and have access to it from ingame?
4. I think I saw that RPG Maker MV and maybe the other engines in the RPG Maker series have maps of Limited sizes but where you have the ability to make Multiple MAPS and have access to them IN/OUT fashion and still have the ability to control the AI from different maps. Can this be achieved in Cryofall and/or if it's not incorporate yet, do you have the plan to incorporate it?

I checked the forums a bit and didn't see a similar post. Please point me to any post that could be relevant to the subject if there is already some on that subject. I want to change my hobbies a bit AKA VoidExpanse/FAil Personal project 2D Physics Engine (Lacking knowledge on Mathematical equations relating to velocity and angular velocity)/ or API of SharpDX....

Thank you for your time in answering.

Help section / AI machine learning for Void Expanse Drones of the 9sMODs series.

« on: August 05, 2019, 08:26:14 pm »

I am working on a version of AI learning/machine Learning for Void Expanse so that I can use that on the drones to make their movement better in game and also for their decision making. I am barely getting started in this though. I am currently working on a version of it based on the series by Sebastian Lague here : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVQUSndDllU
He built his tutorial in Python, although that wasn't why I decided to learn a bit of Python a couple of days ago, it was actually for exporting TONS of objects and build XML files for Void Expanse all at the same time. I've decided to "try" and translate his Python tutorial of Episode 1 and 2 mathematical equations to c# inside of Unity and started playing with that. But I am encountering some "obstacles". For instance, when Sebastian Lague explains the mathematical equations in episode 1 and 2, there is something that I am missing. I don't know how he is using the "output" of the Neural Network. Is he "re-feeding" it into the neural network as inputs in order for the neural network to complete a certain number of iterations until it reaches the goal?

If anyone has any idea of how Machine Learning works, and has really good explanations that can be understood for a beginner, I would be really interested in asking questions. here is what I have so far.. Although the script is able to get to the goal whether it is closer to 1 or closer to 0 which is going to be perfect for me when using the Dot product for the movement in Void Expanse, I have no clue if this qualifies as a Neural Network.

EDIT: this can hardly be qualified as a neural network except for the variable names in the script. I am far from the goal. Will keep learning and searching for more info on how to implement a working version in c# or javascript.

Help section / Destructible stations - NPC spawn location x and y rounded?

« on: August 03, 2019, 01:16:35 pm »

Hi, I just wanted to know if when using the generator.AddNPCShipToSystem if the position x and y are actually rounded instead of using the exact location where i want them spawned.

Below picture shows why i am asking. I am able to create destructible parts from Blender and then from the destructible parts, i am creating "turrets" without AI to drive them, and I put their weapon invisible, which makes it so that i have static Walls in place for the station and those walls are destructible. Although I set the correct pivot location for every object in Blender and double checked they were correctly aligned, they aren't spawned where i want them to in Void Expanse. Any ideas why?




EDIT: Nevermind about my question.... I just printed to console and the correct position is supposed to be set. That is confusing me.

Mods / NEWS - 9sMODs - Part 2.3.1 - NEWS

« on: June 10, 2019, 10:01:00 pm »

9sMODs part 1 of 9 Released - IN BETA VERSION - UNSTABLE... DOWNLOAD AT YOUR OWN RISK.... REASON is the simple colliders that I am using for stations are incompatible with the farseer physics implementation. Until there is a fix, I'd have to remodel ALL of the station interiors to fit "I dont know" what type of parameters.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1766918802

Title: 9sMODs part 1 of 9
Author(s): ninekorn
Description: Station Interiors with the Galaxy Market
Mod version: 1.0.0
Game version: Latest
Game mode: singleplayer and multiplayer

The MOD includes:
-ALL stations INTERIORs (untextured)
-The Galaxy Market
-The ability to rebuild turrets (without a cost for now)
-The Onboard Ship Computer to access the Galaxy Market from your ship. Not really usefull for the moment unless you are a trader. It will be a MUST once the drones MOD is released though.

TODO list:
1. Correctly rotate the turrets that are defending the stations.
2. Texture the station Interiors
3. Put a price on the re-building of station turrets depending on the level of the station.
4. Check for compatibility with the Expansion Pariah's Bane. NOW COMPATIBLE AS OF PATCH 2.0
5. Placing lights inside of all stations where they are supposed to be.
6. There seems to still be a Collider Bug affecting the MOD. If you save the server each 5 minutes, you will only lose the difference because you will need to restart your server. I have made sure to modify polygon colliders to NOT touch any other polygon Colliders but the bug is still present. I will continue investigating.


EDIT:
*Quick fix for the station Interior Collider crash that doesn't even work... it seems that it might never have been the station colliders the issue but more the fact that many miner squads are spawned on top of each other and on the station colliders... I tried that and it doesn't work. I'm gonna have to keep seeking the culprit. But the bug is not reliably happening at the same time every time.

EDIT 2019-06-12
*Another quick fix - I completely removed the Polygon Colliders from the science station. Seems more stable now. Will continue testing.

EDIT 2019-06-13
*Another quick fix - All polygon Colliders of the Military Stations have been removed except 3. currently testing the server with ONLY military stations generated in the server. I will provide screenshots soon!

EDIT 2019-06-14 - 01h18AM
*Latest FIX - I have completely refactored all Polygon Colliders of All station interior models so that no Polygon colliders touch any other types of Colliders. So the station interior colliders still contain Polygon Colliders, much more box colliders, as per the Physics Adjuster tool of Void Expanse. Will continue testing to see stability.

EDIT 2019-06-16 - 00h28
*Latest FIX - I thought I had completely removed the Mining Station Polygon colliders on the 12th of June but I had just refactored them to not be touching anything else and still it was crashing the server... After many attempts at trying other things I decided to go back to the mining station and remove ALL polygon colliders except one(all stations have 1 polygon collider). Finally something stable happened. I will be leaving my private server online tonight to see how stable it is.

EDIT 2019-06-16 - 02h28
*Latest FIX - NOT UPDATED ON STEAM YET - Still unstable so i removed ALL of the station Interior Polygon Colliders that ever existed in the stations interior scripts. Testing right now.

EDIT 2019-06-16 - 02h28
No polygon colliders. Increased Physics calculations to try and increase the occurrence of the bug...

Help section / array of object inside objective

« on: May 09, 2019, 09:48:14 pm »

Hi,

I need some help trying to put an array of objects inside of an objective? Is it possible and if it is, how do I do it?

On the official wiki page it shows this: "npc.AddObjective(25334, "go_to_jumpgate", {jumpgate_id: 15});"

But if I put and array of objects instead inside the "object parameter", it gives me the error below?




Does anyone have any ideas?

Help section / UV mapping Unwrapping in Blender Issues? In need of help

« on: May 02, 2019, 07:48:34 pm »

Hi,

I am trying to correctly UVmap the Station Interior in Blender. The problem is that Void Expanse at it's highest graphics is awesome but NOT my UV mapping as blender is doing things wrong. This is still a question that is for Void Expanse importing .obj models.

I am doing the SEAMS of the objects separately and THEN using SmartUVMapping and THEN use CTRL-J to join/fusion all objects... At that point, I press Tab to go in EDIT mode and the UV mapping is all wrong. Alternative is if I use UNWRAP in Edit Mode on the fusioned Model, the UV mappings are on TOP of each other which doesnt work either.

I gotta work on this tonight in order to release the station Interior MOD tomorrow. If anyone has ANY ideas of another free program or how to perfectly do UV mapping in Blender with COMPLEX objects of 9000 vertex++, please help.

thank you,
nine


EDIT: Nevermind... I might have found the solution. It seems that I hadn't correctly done the seams on the Mining station. I did also activate the "Magic UV" pluggin... Dunno if that helped.

Help section / static NPC?

« on: May 01, 2019, 04:58:11 pm »

Hi ai_enabled or/and Lurler,

Again, the basic interior station MOD V1.0 is almost completed. But I wanted to know if there is something that i can do to have a static NPC. Meaning - a NPC that doesn't move.

I have thought of a couple of things:

• making a NPC Stick to point
• to make its WEIGHT super HEAVY.
• to make the collider WEIGHT super HEAVY.
• to make its speed 0 and acceleration 0 inside of the calculateShip.js script
• to use opposite direction force with addtorque/addforce
• All of the above combined

The reason is I want the interior station MOD V1.1 to incorporate destructible stations. I can put a NPC that has an empty hull but individually attach the Stations colliders to it to make it stay EXACTLY where the station is and BAM if the npc is destroyed by hitting its colliders that are positioned EXACTLY where the station walls are, the station is also destroyed... That is how i have thought of making them destructible.

Any ideas of a better way or static NPC function?

Oh and i have got no clue if 30++ colliders on an NPC will affect the game performance. It might hit it hard.

Help section / player spawning question?

« on: April 30, 2019, 10:20:16 pm »

Hi, The station MOD is almost ready for release. The basics and most important are done: interior station models, colliders, unwalkable tiles...

Now I need to setup the spawn points for players to be more distanced to the starting station but cannot seem to find the setting where to modify it.

I would need help on that. I think i know how to spawn turrets already and specify which position i need them.

Hi, I would like to know if its possible to change some of my posts to the correct forum sections... For instance, Ive got a lot of crap going on in the mods section of the forum that I would change to the MOD INFO section instead.

Also, I would like to know if I can modify some titles of those Posts?

Its nothing urgent. It just feels unorganized because of me.

Bug reports / Concave Collider Server Error?

« on: April 24, 2019, 12:15:17 am »

I need some help figuring out the current Error. Here are images of my current collider for the interior of the station outpost. It only has 4 polygon colliders and those don't seem to be working on stations? is that normal? I was trying to limit the number of colliders for each stations while building the physics for them otherwise I will have to use a LOT of cubic/box colliders in order to cover all the parts.
