Thanks for the feedback. I will remove the old one then.

EDIT: Done. I've removed the old and renamed the working one.

Finally tested the latest one, the creature offset gives it a whole new impression, particles work, they are simple but for a first time they are nice: i can see the researched book and portal having them always on for more shine.

The things i didnt like too much:

Spell counter: not continuous, it jump on 0.3 sec intervals
Spell countdown: i guess they should be different for each spell, 10 sec for everything is not rigth

I would also add:
Wave portal creature limit, to avoid forming a horde roaming around(unless we want)
Particles for Researched book
Particles for Portal

Wave portal creature limit, to avoid forming a horde roaming around(unless we want)

Now I get why they are always so many!

Good idea. And the good thing is that it is pretty easy to do by changing only the particle scripts. If you want, for tests, in the 2v2 test skirmish map, I can add particle effects on the bigknight for a long time so you can play with the script without having to cast any spell.

Danimal {l Wrote}:Spell counter: not continuous, it jump on 0.3 sec intervals

That's because it is updated every turn. If it hurts you so much, we can simulate a countdown to have something smoother. However, the idea would be to have a progressbar in the spell tab showing the cooldown for every spell. @Bertram is working on that with CEGUI guys.

Danimal {l Wrote}:Spell countdown: i guess they should be different for each spell, 10 sec for everything is not rigth

It is configurable in config/spells.cfg. I've added default values to test but feel free to change if you want. See more the spells as a test than a real ingame feature. If you don't like the way they work (by selecting tiles), the particle effects or even the icons, that can be changed later. I just wanted to implement the logic and have something to see if it works.

eugeneloza {l Wrote}:Now I get why they are always so many!

They spawn from the portal at the defined rate (defined in the level). But if you don't kill them, they will spawn until the current max creatures per seat is reached (30 ATM). Note that spawning rate and spawn begin.end turn can be changed in the level file.

so i see mostly everything is shorted out, thanks for the answer Hwoa

You Windows players are so privileged, you get new features even before the developers! :P

No worries, the PR is released. You can play with doors as you want ^^

Hmm, I'd rather think hwoarangmy is using the win binaries for his own evil experiments on windows users. Wait? Did I write that publicly?

Hehe, closed source Windows binaries? How evil

And that's only a first step for conquering the world ^^

The new dev release is uploaded:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/opendun ... p/download

@Akien If you want to do a linux tarball, it is based on my current repo (same as yours but with a commit for the bugs you have seen)

And the corresponding Linux 64bit binary is online too: http://sourceforge.net/projects/opendun ... z/download

I've released another dev build:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/opendun ... p/download

It adds:
- Improved workers behaviour
- Allows appData (the path where logs/replays/saves/... are stored) to be forced by launching OpenDungeons --appData=c:/temp/od/
- Changed pickup logic. Now, you have to hover the tile where you want to pickup something and clic. Note that it will choose the closest entity allowing you to choose which creature to target
- Added more logs to have more context to understand what happens when there is a bug
- Many bugfixes / code refactoring

@Akien If you want to do a linux binary, this one is based on my current repo

EDIT: removed what was not included since I didn't rebase after creating my PR

I've made a Linux dev build, but SF is down so I can't upload it I'll post it later tonight.

Edit: It is now online: http://sourceforge.net/projects/opendun ... z/download

Found 3 bugs today morning:
1. Gold tiles upper textures are not seamless for corner tiles.
2. The worker select is seen through the research window.
3. The workers don't claim walls near gold.

eugeneloza {l Wrote}:2. The worker select is seen through the research window.

That would be related to this bug: https://github.com/OpenDungeons/OpenDungeons/issues/784

eugeneloza {l Wrote}:3. The workers don't claim walls near gold.

I haven't seen that yet, but if you can reproduce, please open a ticket

eugeneloza {l Wrote}:1. Gold tiles upper textures are not seamless for corner tiles.

That's how it was done previously to tilesets. If we want, we can link full tiles together just by playing with the tileset config file.

eugeneloza {l Wrote}:2. The worker select is seen through the research window.

That's related to overlays being displayed in front of the GUI. That will be fixed in my next PR.

eugeneloza {l Wrote}:3. The workers don't claim walls near gold.

That's not related to gold. That's because there must be some not accessible claimable ground tile. That will also be fixed in my next PR.

Thanks for your feedback.

@Danimal @eugeneloza Could you please try to change the renderer and check if it works well for you ? Note that when you change the renderer, the game will quit.
