This just isn't getting much attention over at trigger haven, so I'd like to hear what you guys think of my engine: This is the latest version of my RPG engine. It is in early alpha. It feels complete, but its obviously not completely tested. The codename for the RPG engine is DT4a, it has been made into a component for drag and drop project. A component meaning that it is self contained and only needs the base classes to work, not the bag and the attribute distriputer. This is like the old DT4a engine, only it has been updated to use gamecache, and to allow items to be more flexible. I'll document the features and such later. I need feedback and comments about what people think about the interface. Anyway here is how you use the system: 1. have a hero pick up an equipment item. An EItem is notified by this line in its discription: "Slot N equipable". (I.e. the frost blade, a slot 3 item) 2. Click on the siege golem ability. This opens the equiped items menu. 3. Now in the inventory pane click the on Nth slot item. (For the frost blade, click on the No Sword Item for instance). 4. You are presented with a list of all items that will fit in that slot. (In this case it will only show the frost blade.) 5. Click on the item to equip it. You are now back to the equiped item menu, you can close this menu by clicking on the cancel button in slot 6. You can now repeat the steps as neccessary. You can pickup more Eitems while looking at anything in your inventory. Here is what I'd like you to do: Tell me what you think about the system. If you think the system needs a fix tell me here. IF you find a bug please try to give me steps as to how to repeat it. Also the fallowing is a list of NOT BUGS that you should NOT report. NOT BUGS DO NOT REPORT THESE: The Demon Hunter cannot equip items. The Dread lord can only equip items in slot 5. The one ring say it is a slot 5 equipable but is actually equipment that fits in slot 3,4 and 5. Other things: The Item's tooltips really suck and some of them are wrong (see above), this is just me being lazy and if you'd like to author some of them...go nuts. The code is not messy, its just not really easy to read. I'll comment it later. DT4a stood for dialog test four advance, and makes no sense as DT4a never used dialogs. You can suggest a better name for the system here. The code name still remains, unless you can think of a better short name for it. http://www.wc3campaigns.com/attachme...chmentid=53794 |

I don't get why you would think this forum is much more active than the trigger haven, actually. If you wanted attention, but not the best one, you could have tried to upload to wc3search, there are boring trolls though. If you were waiting for serious posts, well you can't get much more than the ones you got till the moment. |

Drag and drop 4d (old) got no attention. |
