Yep..we can do cool stuff with fog when the time comes! ;)

Reminds me of Harry Potter 3. I like it.
Do we get to visit the Land of Mits on a quest? Maybe to save littlefoot's grandpa by geting Night Flowers? That'd be awesome!
-
The theory is, eventually yes, if we can get the Great Valley portion of the game completed. :)
-
Of course. That's cool. Great work!
-
Hey that's cool :D
-
Looks neat.
-
Awesome! :)
Is the fog something that is to be limited to certain regions of the game or is there a way to make fog come up time and again by means of a random generator?
-
The colour and fog distance is fully changable at any point, meaning we can have diffferent regions of the world, random times, or even different times of day have different amounts and colours of fog. :)
-
That's awesome
-
coolio
-
That¥s fantastic
-
Is it part of the weather effects or is it coded different?
Is the fog just for the land of mists area or is it for any area that may get fog?
-
The coding is actually very simple. :)
//turn fog on
dbSetFogOn();
//control how far away the fog starts to cover up 3d objects
dbSetFogDistance(distance);
//control the colour of the fog
dbSetFogColor( r,g,b );
//turn fog off
dbSetFogOff();
With these, basically I can plug in any value at any time (using variables) and control the fog based on the player's location, time of day, whatever we want to do!
We can do it anywhere in the game that we want fog. Weather such as rain, snow, etc. will be very different. I'm still not sure how we'll be able to do that. I'm sensing confusing particle effect coding there. :p
-
Aahh!! Codes!! hurts my eyes :p
Gl with weather matey :p
-
heehee! :p
Thank ya thank ya. :yes
-
I don't know coding, but the fog thing you posted doesn't look like fog is very comlex. It looks pretty simple.
-
Nice effects. :yes I'm just wondering, can you do other weather effects such as rain or even snow?
-
Well I found a command in my game creation package designed for snow effects, but nothing for rain. :p I suspect snow will be easier than rain for this reason.
..Not that I'm lazy or anything. :p
We'll get rain eventually. B)
-
No hurry. Just take care and do your best and you may have a game with less problems then some other companies who put out games you have to pay for.

collecting night flowers would be cool quest and how did you guys get that screen shot (I can't even get my butt out of the GV whenever I'm playing) must be an earlier or later version.

Yes... That version you see was the most recent one at the time that it was posted, so it's pretty old haha ;)
-
It doesn't have to necessarily be that Grandpa longneck is sick again, but he could be the one who gives the quest since he may have heard another resident is sick and needs some night flowers. Would also kinda make sense since the quest may be given to different folks over time. Since the dinos don't seem to have the mentality of, let's get extra and store some here, or see if it has seeds, see if we can grow some here in the swampy parts of the Great Valley.
-
that or you could be on a quest to get them in order to trade them for something far more valuable. :)
-
Valuable, like to turn Threehorn into a nice guy, or not be speciest and boastful anymore. Some who live in the Great Valley would find that a valuable item indeed. I would if I lived there.
-
eh,no I ment an item that's more valuable
