I've made that account (cherrywood, [email protected]) but I never ever did anything like that.


But DB is probably fine, most of it is in assets and skills BE files + few sprites and test girl. But the skill registration is in functions,characters and arena (don't know if it's all needed, I just look for all places with earth spell and copy paste new ones under it).

SourceForge is better than, I can see exactly what you have done that way.

Girl you have to upload to DB. You can now upload to the server. Open the workshop, commit the code and push it to the server. Learn how to keep those in sync or you'll have to maintain multiple copies at all times.
============================
I wrote some into text to the Arena today (creating content as planned), maybe more tomorrow. I am not a good writer so that usually goes rather slowly

Great freaking job on new Animations!!! Congratulations

Great freaking job on new Animations!!! Congratulations

Good news is, that after setting up the code for type of sprite movement (skill class), additional animations using it created from existing sprite files found on net (and there is a lot of them) ale totally easy to set up. And I found sites with lots of sounds too (http://www.sounddogs.com/sound-effects.asp), so creating a new one takes only like 15-30 minutes (If you don't want to draw your own, obviously). So I can probably make a lot of these when we will want it.


I'm thinking about using renpy sprite functions to make an acid rain effect someday later. But these is still much I don't understand in the BE code, for example, I'm not able to place images in upper parts of battle sprites.


BE also allows sprite states (standby, attack, on_hit...) for making characters animated, but that's a total overkill.

Hgehe, see, you know more than me about the BE already

Actually, at some point in distant future, we could add some super spell that disarms and disrobes the fighter and than change the sprite to some nude backgroundless sprite (if such is available).

Also, it would be easy to add animation, color, glow or movement to the sprite as it attacks or preforms magic, might actually end up looking really decent.

Damn it... there are like 10001 bugs in the arena

[Xela]

Oki... managed to get some things done this weekend:

SF updated:

- Arena is now on the map as well.
- Added content to the Arena (intro texts and simple NPC).
- Fixed a lot of bugs in the Arena.
- Enabled normal Arena operations even for dev version.
- Fixed a number of non-arena related bugs (Bad wage pay routine included).
- Added penalties for keeping girls joy and disposition to low.
- Girls can now leave players employment and commit suicides (maybe).
- Added penalty for not paying upkeep.
- Characters in the Arena will now use CW's magic attacks.

So this is what you meant by NPC...
good job


I don't think I understand the game enough to make "tutorial" ones, but I would like to make a tailor and then some others who don't have any real use in the game yet, but I have plans to use then in some quest later - a corrupted judge, young landlady and a mad scientists and his bodyguard. (I could make some small introduction event perhaps)


EDIT: And a church assistant!
If I ever get to it... I still have soooooo much images to tag  And I just can't bring myself to reduce the girlpack images to some reasonable quantities... why they draw them so cute??

Go right ahead, you wanted to use a real character as an NPC right? I mean, for advanced NPC, it's actually a much better bet because you'd have lots of pic categories.

You can even add simple quests, like bring me three of some item and get a money or random girl reward

Stuff like that is what makes the game in the end...

PS: I am trying to play a round of game without dev mode, found a bug during jobs, girls don't go resting on high fatigue. I've  already fixed.

Yeap, but the trick is figuring out how integrate BE into PyTFall or/if add rows. Preferably without breaking other schemes. Question now is to decide when to start messing with BE, I'll have couple of hour free tonight, I was planning on taking a look at girlsmeets and maybe put in a new location (like beach) but if we can make a final decision to stick with FF styled BE, I'd love to start digging into that code

I've had some plans for creating beach date, but because I wasn't able to figure out even the simplest lines like - what the girl should say if you take her swimming + I had a little difficulties with setting screen, I ended before I actually start.
I was visioning it like this:
beach have three main parts - main beach, best place for swimming and there is a beach cafe
north beach - that end with a cliff that you can climb up or take a stroll and reach a outlook
south beach - with a restaurant/hotel where you can eat or rent a room for a while and a small harbor (maybe rent a ship for a small trip?)
maybe changing it a bit depending on how the bg will actually looks (sadly the ones that fit best are only 800p or smaller)


and a system that you can do 2 activities and one extra it all goes well, or something along these lines.

...what's your plan?

[Xela]

I actually started reading the BE code for the first time (ever).

You plan sounds great, did you manage to find pictures for those locations? I would also like some "play beach volleyball" action showing some pic with chance of increasing agility + constitution... maybe something more along those lines.

Jake seems like a very good programmer but still does stuff that could have been easy avoided, took me good 10 mins to figure out what this does:

Code: [Select]

    class NestingClass(object):
       
        def __init__(self, child):
            self._child = child
           
        def __getattr__(self, name):
            if name in self.__dict__.keys():
                return object.__getattribute__(self, name)
            else:
                if "_child" in self.__dict__.keys():
                    return getattr(self._child, name)
            return None
           
        def __setattr__(self, name, value):
            if hasattr(object, name):
                object.__setattr__(self, name, value)
                return
            elif hasattr(self._child, name):
                setattr(self._child, name, value)
            object.__setattr__(self, name, value)
           
        def getClass(self):
            return self._child.__class__
        __class__ = property(getClass)

So far the BE seems really well structured and thought through, but I've just started...

All BG I found are in my DB under the link I placed in our shared DB, or in Roman's BG folder you once posted.
--------------!
EDIT: ups, the link for Roman's BG is not working. Luckily I have the whole thing saved, so I merge that into mine. --------------!!
EDIT2: I ran out of DB space again... 1GB background gallery is not something DB like, obviously.    Ok, I just place the beach ones in shared folder.

I'll take a look when I get to adding the location. I thought that maybe you've already picked out backgrounds for all of those places.

Jake seem to have a good sense of humor as well:

        # Facings must cover all angles between 0 and 360 or the world ends in a cataclysm of fire, brimstone and over-cooked broccoli.




============
PS: I have Romans whole collection from RuTracker (Torrent site)

[CherryWood]

 Ok, then I don't have to do that.
 http://img24.eu/images/ypi4zmq2.jpg this one I like for hotel, but other I didn't decide yet. (but there are some that could fit)


It's kind of hard to find good animeish backgrounds on picture sites. It may be easier to screenshot them from some HD anime.

[Xela]

Didn't you post links to all pics an hour go??? Let me know when you decide on the rest.
