stefanhendriks Posted August 12, 2009 Author Share Posted August 12, 2009 Real life has kept me busy as well.That is no problem. The cLogger class is easy to expand/change.Yes, I have made changes so that I can add build queues. But they are still buggy :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stefanhendriks Posted August 27, 2009 Author Share Posted August 27, 2009 Any updates regarding the tool? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rene Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 To be honest, I haven't been working on it a lot lately. Another project I'm working on is a 3D engine in Java, and I've made some significant progress on it the last few weeks so that was the only thing I felt like working on. If you would like, I could use it to illustrate the idea I mentioned in another thread, about the 2D/3D mix.However, I will still build this tool, I'm not someone who starts building something and doesn't finish it. One thing that took me a lot of time was a mistake I made in the design: I thought it would be necessary to hard-code a lot of stuff, but while working on it I realized it would be a lot easier to add features and debug if all components, events, etc. would be specified in an ini file. So that made sure I could throw away a lot of the code I've been writing. But hey, that happens often in a programmer's life, doesn't it? :PAbout the not-finishing thing: that isn't true for the map-generator for the editor. I don't think I will implement it but make a final build with the option removed from the menu instead. ATM, the maps for D2TM are small, don't feature a lot of different terrain types and it doesn't take more than a few minutes work to build a map, so I don't think it is worth the effort to make a seed-generator. However, let me know if you think otherwise, and I will take a look at it again ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How dare you! :PHowever, I will still build this tool, I'm not someone who starts building something and doesn't finish it.One thing that took me a lot of time was a mistake I made in the design: I thought it would be necessary to hard-code a lot of stuff, but while working on it I realized it would be a lot easier to add features and debug if all components, events, etc. would be specified in an ini file. So that made sure I could throw away a lot of the code I've been writing. But hey, that happens often in a programmer's life, doesn't it? TongueI'd say only finish it when you feel like it. I would be happy to see such a tool. I know your pain, it is too bad that a programmer always has to experience such things in order to get better.About the not-finishing thing: that isn't true for the map-generator for the editor.
