made some progress on the pathfinding finally, but have a question regarding the world positioning etc. The way the system works now, you click a block which gives you a vector eg -24, 50, -24 however getting the location of a minion, from its location component, would give a Vector of 24, 50...

lacking :P but working hard on it

jumping more guns, related closely to the other world portals and finite worlds : Minion types could be world dependant. You find new minion types by exploring other world which might contain a new type of minion. In an infinite world you could create tribes scattered through the world. But...

Again jumping guns here, another idea I had thanks to woodspeople immense input, but this might only be suited again for a dungeon keeper oriented appraoch, is a comand queue filled with minion wants commands and keeper order commands. Minion needs to build, but minion wants to play cards, so...

yeah I commented out the code regarding the Astarpathing, so just remove those imports for the moment. I'll push a fix for that. I left it out because I tried to use threading in it and a gui showing me the progression the current implementation makes, still need to figure some things out, like...

to explain the whole manus thing, sorry if it confused some : http://board.movingblocks.net/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=296 Don't misunderstand, the thing was like eleazzaar said meant as an interview with a keeper, and that's what I would like personally, that's why I answered as Manus, not as the guy...

quick note : Another nice thing to have would be flags, in different colors, to set the patrol points visually in the world. A flagable block could be used to indacate a location with actions. Clicking them could instruct a minion to start following the flag path and act according.

Damn you, now that whole combo slapping got stuck in my head. And visions of minions playing cards after defeating a floating hand, while it regenerates.

hehe nice list. Many ideas in it. My basic idea was that miniions would be a rather raw tech demo of minions who can gather resources and build stuff, as that should be a big part of the gameplay. I think the current work will be usefull into providing some considerations to include early in...

A fun idea now that you can assign multiple patrol points to multiple minions is a synchronised dance contest of monkey heads ... I'd make if myself if I had better / ready tools to do so what do you use for the capturing / editing? and is it free?

the current miniion bar is a uch quick put together idea to find a way to interact with minions, it would amaze me it will remain in this form besides as maybe a mod for the nostalgic feeling of it. It's basically a copy of the main toolbar with an extra layer, my main goal is to provide a way...

I know :twisted: I have a tendancy to poke people to follow in my direction, I try to control it and my enthusiasm but not always succesfully. After looking at code created I hardly understand, I have a hard time accepting praise for what I did. I used what was already available, poked it...

i see we finally reached the stargate syndrome. that was my idea to, ever since minecraft really. A big finite world with overlapping edges, and portals to other worlds for other resources etc. I personally think I would enjoy it more then an infinite stretching world where you easily loose...

nice to see you around... any wish granted is welcome, I work with what I have / can achieve.

purple potions :P sounds yummy

Thanks for the info and yes I have noticed as well now playing around with it. I need to build a decent structure somehow to handle all that, add some parameters so this doesn't happen anymore. One patch I could easily apply it to set the behaviour back to "move" after the inventory was opened...

there are 2 ways to go about things if you ask me. 1 is to debate a lot about it, decide whats best and start making that. another is to actually create something working and see if people like it. If they don't, you can still use it as a mod yourself, and maintain it. The way that works is...

(Note: Incubator header added by Cervator, and thread itself used to contain other creature design notes split out into Creature Definitions - might read sort of funny. The idea is that this is a Core Content thread spawned from the central topic of Creatures themselves, this being specific to...

I know you're always watching Cerv, master of tha cats. Cats VS Miniions, or our cats against minecrafts :D I need to make sure ours win :P

I don't really like the introduction section, so I'll do this here. Hi all, My name is david. I'm 36 and always loved games. My dream in life was becoming a game develloper. Terasology as an open source project has sparked my enthousiasm as a hobbyist programmer with a dream of at least...
