(feel free to upload it on a better ftp, I just put it here for the time being)

I will provide you the fully textured non nerfed version of the character model if you can prove to me you have purchased a copy of The Axys Adventures Truth Seeker: Battle Against The Lies, from www.rebelplanetcreations.com!

Support related to this code will be provided to those who have purchased a copy of The Axys Adventures!

The code has been sitting around for a while, not making use of itself, and the youtube video has got quite a good number of hits thanks to you guys. If you type 3dgs into youtube it's the number one video which is so awesome.

Please continue with your awesome game development ventures and I hope this code base helps you out in ways you could have never imagined. Study it, it's awesome!

Regards,

David Lancaster

Man, that's impressive! I've seen the video when you posted it, but seeing this ingame is way more impressive for sure!

It is a pity that you didn't complete a game with it.

Oh awesome .
Coincidentily I was watching the videos yesterday for random reasons.
Very impressive indeed, and very useful .

Thanks!

I have every intention to finish a game with it

i am really impressed with it, sorry i didnt get back to you Dave, great job! looking forward to seeing what game you put together using it.

get it here:

...Christmas has arrived early this year

Great work David...deserves this year's "contribution of the year" award!
For me an other proove that c-script is able to do anything and fast...if it's in the right hands...C-SCRIPT FOREVER!!!

Also I like your offer (support and textures to those who have purchased "Axys Adventures"). I purchased Axys when it came out (The best 3DGS-Game at that time!)...how do I get hold of the textures...? Well...I'll pm you

I was working on my own close combat code...seeing this is blowing all my motivation to go on...

David and c-script ruuuuuuule!!!

Cool! good job!

David, this looks truly awesome. Is this A7 only, or is there a way to use this in A6.60? I sure would like to make use of this code in a couple of projects that have been sitting on the shelf because, well, basically, my scripting skills suck harder than my modelling capabilities. I'm working on it, but it's a tough row to hoe for a non-programmer. This code could seriously move things forward for me.

Cheers, and congratulations on delivering such a well executed code base!
Mark

i think its only for A6.60. thats the version i have. unless Dave update it.

no, it works with a7.

BTW thanks Dave.

Amazing! That video looks very impressive, and the AI looks awesome!

As Loopix has said "...Christmas has arrived early this year"

Great work
Adoado

I love the big combat scene at the end ... impressive stuff!!


[edit]
the only thing I don't realy like as much is the rocky borders of the map. they're not terrible, but there may be a better way. it doesn't look natural enough... if memory serves it's a lot like zelda though, which I guess you've made one of your goals...

Combat AI is hard to get right, this will be a learnful script

Cheers

Frazzle

its amazing man, you did a very good.
it needs some more details but it looks great.

Thanx Hella! I've wanted this code forever! I appriciate it a ton!!!

Terrific stuff! This opens up another dimension for us. Superb contribution!

this is massivley cool which function gets the panel to scroll off screen i`d likt to do that with my menus

Thank you guys very much! You're all too kind

I made it in A6, then moved it up to A7, it works in both.

Jigalypuff, as much as I would normally answer that question, I must be fair to myself:

fully understandable mate no worrys

Cool!

can't download it, on 50% downloading stop.. can you reupload it somewhere?

You can find this in the AUM81

Nice :-)

for the ents that get stuck behind fences e.t.c could you do a script that makes them jump over them?

Mirror:
http://goannasvencoop.com/my%20maps/GloriousCombat.rar

how to change the camera position in this demo (to upper for example)? so that i can view all entities movement here.

thanks,

inside c_variables you have to change var camera_distance = 200; for a bigger value. If you want it to bbe like RTS type of game you have to change the tilt values.
Guess this is it.
Regards.

How do you You play it?

Run the .exe file.

.exe file? What .exe file? It comes as a .raw file. you can't really do much with it. I think I remember something about it being a type of compressed file that I have to extract to get the files inside, but I really don’t know. So if it is a type of compressed file can someone tell me ho to open it. And if it isn't how do I get the exe. file for Glorious Combat.

i remember the first time you posted this thanks for putting the code up to download!

Silence, are you talking about the link in the initial post of this thread?
That's the exe in it: "Glorious Combat.exe" - you can't miss it.

I do see it but its a rar download it's not a exe fiel. How do I extract the exe file from it. and if there is a exe. download I have no I dea where it is

Unrar the files! if you still can,t unpack the files with Winrar, just try with other packing programs like 7zip,ultraZip,Isomagic,IsoMaker,WinZip etc.

all you have to do is : Unpack The Files you've already downloaded!

Silence, you should really larn how to use Unzip programs...
Or at least google up file extensions if you dont know what they stand for...

I got it now.

Nice code.

GREAT!!! THANKS A LOT! BUT I HAVE ONE QUESTION, ON THE VIDEO THERE ARE SOME VERY IMPRESSIVE SHADER EFFECTS, WHERE CAN I FIND THEM?! SHADERS LIKE SHADOWS FROM TREES & "GOD" RAYS?? IN C-SCRIPT OFCOURCE AND WHAT ABOUT WIND & GRASS? WILL YOU SHARE THEM TOO, PLEASE SORRY MY ENGLISH IS VERY BAD

Your English is ok but, Please do not type in "CAPS" it's classed as yelling!

ok man) but any way, what about that shaders, grass & wind effect?

This code doesn't work in Lite-C right? Therefore to make it work along with Shade-C I have to translate all the glorious scripts from .wdl to .c .h yeah?

Can anybody confirm this?

Yeah

Well this one seems to be some great resource to add to any rpg game. Since I'm a 3D artist I can't be much of help. But I'd like to see it converted to Lite-c and mix it with the shade-c

Can anybody capable convert this set of scripts to lite-c please?

Man those acot intelegents are amasing!!!

Are there any plans to convert it to Lite C ? I've tried and I finally got it to compile but there are too many broken functions to get it to work right. I don't know enough about the code to get it to work like the original. Great learning experience for a newbie like myself though.

Nobody cares to translate this to lite-c? any programmer? it's much better then most of the rpg resources out there.

Im trying it but uff...

It`s so damm long!!!

Tell me about it .. it took me a couple of months to translate it to Lite C and to get it to compile. I ran into trouble with temp.pan and temp.tilt. I didn't know what to do so I turned them into an ENTITY temp_ent2 and it compiled. probably why most of my functions are broken. I'm still playing with it and learning a lot along the way.

This with "temp.pan" and "temp.tilt" you just must wright a "VECTOR temp;"
Then it works.
And "ENTITY temp_ent2", try it like this;

"ENTITY* temp_ent2;" and "var temp_ent2;"

Then no warning should come up.

how is it going guys? any luck with the conversion?

It`s moving.
But I must still lern for school .

Alright folks it's been a loooong while here, what do we got? anything functional? as I've said before I can't be much of a help on the programming side but i'm a pretty decent artist so I'll post my own share/contribution concerning 3d models once this is done and posted as a thank you for sharing.

Sry, but I have no time know I have now alot of test and Im lerning.
And the Ai.wdl, combat.wdl is very hard to tranlate.
But are there more out there that try to translate?
It would be a help when they could say how they would translate those tow codes.

All I know is that I've been writing several emails to david lancaster offered him payment, he never even answered.

Tried to contact the Prodigy 3D guy, never answered as well.

@PietroNifosi:
Maybe because he's not working with Acknex anymore.

Have a specific programming-related request?
Need a highly-qualified lite-c artisan?
Got money?
Jobs Offered

Sry I don`t know enothe over c-script, I only code in lite-c.

so i take it as this conversion to lite-c is not happening?

I know both C-Script and Lite-C, so I could help, but I'm pretty busy at the moment. Tell you what: I'll download this package, and if I come up with anything interesting sometime, I'll let you guys know.

"People, what is going on out there? I look down this table, all I see are white flags. Our numbers are down all across the board. Teen smoking, our bread and butter, is falling like a shit from heaven! We don't sell Tic Tacs for Christ's sake. We sell cigarettes. And they're cool and available and *addictive*. The job is almost done for us!"

Come ooooonnn, somebody just do it!!

It would actually only take about a day or two to convert the code to Lite-C. The only reason I haven't done it myself is because, quite frankly, I have much better things to do and don't really care.

If you'd like to try yourself, go ahead. It isn't hard, as long as you understand both Lite-C and C-Script. You basically just have to clean up the code and turn things like:



into:



As you can see, I only say it'll take a day or two because it's a long, tedious process. Not a hard one.

Here it is, Glorious Combat in Lite-c.

Since im not that good in scripting, there could be something I have missed.

Feel free to change anything that I maybe converted wrong, and ofcourse post it here!

EDIT: I found the soultion to few problems and added PietroNifosi code for camera zoom, uploaded as GloriousCombat2.

Cheers!

doesnt work for me, "use_ring" is undeclared.

You're right, I was fooling around with some fire effects and forgot to delete that line, I uploaded it now without it and it should be working now.

Okay, now it works. But doesnt start because it can't find any of these pictures from the code...

Download original Glorious Combat files, and make sure you type all #define PRAGMA_PATH "location to folder" lines in main.c. For example:

#define PRAGMA_PATH "C:\Glorious Combat\Models"

Hope it works!

O.k. I placed your c's in old, wdl-based Glorious Combat folder, changed main script, erased wdl's (they were creating errors for some reason?), Moved all essets from folders to main folder & it all went smooth & great

...but once the level is loaded I get error: invalid pointer or handle in handle_bone_control & invalid pointer or handle in handle_target

Unfortunately I was using old version of lite-c, now I updated to the latest version and got the same problem with pointers and handles.

I set "warn_level" to 1 and in "functions.c" in "handle_weapon_collision()" deleted "you=animate_ent" line and IGNORE_YOU in c_trace.
Then changed "if(you!=NULL)" to "if(you!=NULL && you!=animate_ent)".

EDIT: Works better with only IGNORE_YOU deleted in c_trace without other changes.
It looks like everything is working now but the weapon collision is a bit jerky, as the combatants sometimes hit something in mid air.

Hopefully, someone with more knowledge would look at the code and see what we are missing.

Finally somebody did it! Thanks a lot dj_tommy.
You are like the avatar http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBeA6JHkV1I

"Only the appearance of a stranger ( 5 posts total )... from where he came noone knows.."

Now I hope you guys progressively improve it.
This is a great RPG set of scripts, deserves attention!

I agree, the script is great and I thank David for leting us use it.

I must say that, after some more testing, there seems to be two or maybe more bugs left. I noticed sometimes when you're surrounded with bunch of enemies you end up somewhere out of the level.

Other one is more annoying and always there, the health bar code is causing problems with rest of the panels, causing them to change colors and disappear randomly.

Ok here is my first improvement: I know it's quite simple but I'm a 3d artist not a programmer!

Define this in the beginning of c_functions.c

var camera_distance = 200;

And this in the while loop of handle_input_startup

camera_distance -= mickey.z * time_step;
camera_distance = clamp(camera_distance, 300, 1000);



Now you can zoom in and out with your mouse wheel!

thanks for converting this game to lite-c.

i've tried it. but it often stuck/hang with "Error E1515: Invalid arguments in attach_weapon"

another problem. when i add panel, there is no error messages but it display nothing.

any suggestion?

I had the same problem with adding panels by defining them with PANEL* so I
created new function with "pan_create(char* content, var layer)" in it and it worked.

As for invalid arguments, my guess is that some pointer is NULL when it should not be.
You could try to pinpoint exact pointer and adding a line before it:
while(that_pointer==NULL) wait(1);

I'm sorry I cant help you much because I don't have that problem with "attach_weapon" and everything else, except panels, is working normal.

Good luck!

the first error only happen in win7. when i switch to XP, it not happen anymore.

i've tried create panel with pan_create as in healthbar. but still disappear

i want to limit entity enemies to 10, although around him there are many enemies detected. but if one enemy died, another enemy close to him will attack to replace the death enemy.

i've tried to use array in skill but still have no luck.

any suggestion?

thanks

"deleted"

There is still something wrong...
For exsample;
In functions.c, in the function
function handle_weapon_collision(),
When I set;
if (result2 == 1 && you !=shield_state) { and then set some chareckters to no shield_state (they don`t carry a shild) and I hit them, they still block!
Thats very confusing.
Does somebody else has a problem like that???
Or know how to fix this???

No I updated my version, everything is fine!

If anyone knows why the fight is not doing well in C-script version please help? As if something is wrong with the collision, the enemy can not hurt player, like as player can not hurt enemy. In lite-c version everything work fine but not with c-script.

I still got a few issues, naming 1: everytime i press the attack, the whole thing is broken, the attack animation is stopped, sparkles happening and player hits nothing.
Actually another animation takes place like is he gets hit by his own weapon.

I did a search, the problem seems to be around here:

function handle_weapon_collision()

Did you download GloriousCombat2?

The first file has that issue, but no. 2 should be working
fine.

Where can I download second version? I didn't really know about it...

Does anyone can test the C-script version in A8. I really need some help, with my old version A7 everything worked great, but in A8 function handle_weapon_collision does not work!?

Anyone???

Well, I edited my first post on page 7, there were two files
one named GloriousCombat other GloriousCombat2 where i corrected some things.

First one didnt work well so now I deleted it as I should have first time when posting.

where the link go?

Can anyone reupload the grass code with wind ?? Thanks ...

Hey guys, please share this grass code with wind...I need it.

maybe it's only the built in shader fx_animTree - you need commercial edition to access it

i cant do it with fx_animtree, please explain how to design this grass with wind ??

Hi all,
this code is amazing, but it seems lite-c code not work well in A8 or i wrong??? I see i am not only one who had a error message like "Error E1515: Invalid arguments in attach_weapon".
Now i have problem when enemy dying "Error E1513 Script crash in process_animation".
Did someone have a fixed lite-c code? I use the latest beta version A8.40.1

ok man) but any way, what about that shaders, grass & wind effect? laugh

please re-upload this file ...
