Thanks Exception!

Hopefully you will find the game fun (and working) in its current state. Even though there is currently a fair amount to do in game if you dig into it, there are a ton of features still to add so there should be a lot more to do in game soon.

[lugdunon]

October 1, 2013:

• Initial support for live scrolling added.
• In game mode 0 (regular play mode), screen location is now directly tied to the player's location.
• Added net.lugdunon.states.tiledGame.chunk.Chunk.rect to client-side API. This property stores a chunk's top left and bottom right corners in absolute space.
• Added net.lugdunon.world.placeables.PlaceableItemInstance.rect to client-side API. This property stores a placeable item instance's top left and bottom right corners in absolute space.
• Increased the size of the transport variable storing the total number of chunks and visible chunks sent to a client from an unsigned byte to an unsigned short integer to allow for values greater than 255.
• Added net.lugdunon.util.Math.isOnScreen(rect) to client-side API.
• The chunk manager now checks to see if a given chunk or placeable is visible on screen before attempting to draw it.
• Added game.normalizedScreenOffset to the client-side API.
• Added game.editingRect to the client-side API.
• Added game.screenRect to the client-side API.
• Removed game.screenLoc from the client-side API.
• Removed net.lugdunon.state.Account.getScreenLocation() from the server-side API.
• Removed net.lugdunon.state.Account.setScreenLocation(Point screenLoc) from the server-side API.
• Added net.lugdunon.state.Account.getScreenTileX() to the server-side API.
• Added net.lugdunon.state.Account.getScreenTileY() to the server-side API.
• Added net.lugdunon.state.character.initChunksVisibleOnMinimap() to the server-side API.

• Added net.lugdunon.state.character.isPlaceableVisibleOnMinimap(long itemInstanceId) to the server-side API.
• Added net.lugdunon.state.character.getPlaceablesVisibleOnMinimap() to the server-side API.
• Yes, this means that mini-maps are finally happening!

[lugdunon]

October 3, 2013:

• Basic minimap implemented.
• Added net.lugdunon.input.keybind.MinimapToggleKeybinding to the client-side code base. Default key is the '-' key on the main keyboard.

• Added isOnScreen flag to both net.lugdunon.states.tiledGame.chunk.Chunk and net.lugdunon.world.placeables.PlaceableItemInstance.
• Chunk loading underwent a complete overhaul. The client is now only aware of the chunks that occupy the area comprising the minimap. The minimap area surrounds the main player, with the magnitude of that area dictated by the side of the client's screen. net.lugdunon.states.tiledGame.chunk.ChunkManager has been practically rewritten to accomodate these changes.
• Environment moved from the net.lugdunon.states.tiledGame.TiledGame instance to game.environment.
• Environment now updates the lightmap for the entire region covered by the minimap.
• Added net.lugdunon.util.Math.tileToMinimapCoords(loc,sLoc) to the client-side API.

• Added net.lugdunon.state.Account.ScreenResolutionPrefs to the server-side API. Contains the settings used to form the minimap size, the distance a player needs to travel towards a boundary before update, and the number of iterations required to update the chunk data for a given range of screen sizes.
• Added net.lugdunon.state.Account.updateScreenResolutionPrefs(int d) to the server-side API.
• Added net.lugdunon.state.Account.getScreenResolutionPreference() to the server-side API.
• Added net.lugdunon.world.terrain.Chunk.topLeftTileLoc() to the server-side API.

• Added net.lugdunon.math.Point.add(int i) to the server-side API.
• Added net.lugdunon.math.Point.sub(int i) to the server-side API.

[lugdunon]

October 4, 2013:

• Got a new logo! Yay!
• Added a new loading image to reflect the new logo.
• Added a new button art assets for a minimap screen location indicator toggle.
• Added net.lugdunon.ui.settingsMenu.settings.SettingStore to the client-side code base. This now serves as the base class for any class that wishes to persists items in the client-side settings store.
• Added minimap controls for zooming and toggling the screen location indicator. Controls appear when a player mouses over the minimap's content area.
• Implemented a settings store for the minimap configuration options.

• Refactored the net.lugdunon.world.defaults.environment.Environment.draw() code to take wrapping into account.
• net.lugdunon.command.core.PanScreenCommand now leverages the "CORE.COMMAND.PLAYER.MOVE" command to do its work.
• net.lugdunon.command.core.player.PlayerMoveCommand now correctly functions regardless of the client session's game mode.
• Added a ScreenResolutionPrefs instance for when the map is smaller than the minimap region.
• net.lugdunon.world.terrain.Terrain.getTerrainChunks(Account account) now correctly behaves when the map is smaller than the minimap region.

[Excy]

That looks a lot, lot better!
(Quoted both for side-by-side comparison)

[lugdunon]

Yep, the original one was done by me and was pretty awful.

The new logo was created by @JaytheRobot. I couldn't be happier with it.

[lugdunon]

October 5, 2013:

• Added support for minimap pins via a simple add/remove pin API on the game.minimap object.
• Currently quests, player, and player target are displayed as map pins.
• Added net.lugdunon.util.Math.pointToMinimapCoords(loc,sLoc) to client-side API.
• Added net.lugdunon.character.Character.setPinIcon(icon) to client-side API.
• Added net.lugdunon.character.Character.getPinIcon() to client-side API.
• Added net.lugdunon.character.NonPlayerCharacter.setQuestState(qsi,qs) to client-side API.
• Added placeholder assets for lunar phases.

[lugdunon]

Here's a quick look at the new minimap feature.

This screenshot shows the minimap with the controls panel extended. Currently available controls include the ability to alter the map's zoom, and enable/disable the screen region indicator.

This screenshot shows the maximum zoom (at the lowest screen resolution of 1024x640). Indicators on the map show available quests, and your location as well as that of your target.

The minimap header also illustrates a new feature to Lugdunon in 0.5.4: a calendar implementation.

The header currently displays the lunar phase, date, and time.

This API is attached to the environment module and will allow modders to implement features that rely on specific times of year, or even the current lunar phase (here's looking at you, werewolves).

The current default calendar is a rational implementation of the Gaulish Coligny calendar.

[lugdunon]

• Added diamond-shaped target pins.
• Added labels to pins and the lunar phase indicator.

[lugdunon]

October 7, 2013:

• Added check to client to warn if a player has their client zoomed.
• Added console parameter filters. This allows for replacing certain patterns in /console commands with other information.
• Added net.lugdunon.command.core.console.parameters.IParameterFilter to server-side codebase.

[karlozalb]

Good progress man!

The "windowed" user interface reminds me of Transport Tycoon  and the new logo look awesome btw!

[eobet]

I have to ask, why must the horizontal action bar clutter up the main window, when you seemingly have a huge empty grey space on the bottom left where you could put all actions grouped like a numeric keypad instead?

[lugdunon]

karlozalb: Thanks! I am really happy with the logo. Jay really knocked it out of the park.

eobet: Good question, and one I will probably address in-game before too long. The original UI was built around the viewport taking up the entire screen, so it was pinned to the viewport. The newer windowed elements can take advantage of the larger screen real-estate, but I haven't gotten around to finding a solution to the older UI yet.

[lugdunon]
