Popular Post GreenBox Posted November 19, 2012 Popular Post Posted November 19, 2012 Fimbulwinter Client http://blog.fimbulwinter.org/ Overview Yes, this is another client project as I'm not satisfied with the current ones. FimbulwinterClient is developed in C++ using a barebone engine called YA3DE that I developed for use on it, remembers a lot XNA. The project was being developed in C# but with the release of MSVC11 with almost full C++11 support I decided to port it to C++ to take advantage of the new features. I don't plan to target old compilers that doesn't support the new spec as the major compilers already support it. YA3DE YA3DE(Yet Another 3D Engine) is a 3d engine that I developed to use it in my client. It remembers a lot of XNA but is in C++ and uses only OpenGL 3. Roadmap Map rendering: Done, perhaps the normal calculation isn't good at the moment. Mode rendering: Same as above. GUI: In development. Actors rendering: To be done. Network: To be done. Source code and license The project is licensed under GNU GPLv3 and the source can be found on my github repository: https://github.com/g...al/fimbulclient Screenshots Playing with the new GUI system Prontera prt_maze with surface colors Castle Prontera indoors Niflheim Comodo About the GUI https://github.com/greenboxal/fimbulclient/wiki/GUI-Overview I'll use the Awesomium project to create the game GUI, it's a hacked source of Chrominium that can be rendered and used in any project. Yes, the GUI will be done using HTML5+CSS3, but we have a problem: I suck at web programming and I really need help to develop a pretty GUI. So, if anybody is willing to help you can contact me Just for clarification, the 3d rendering is not web based, just the GUI. The world rendering is done with OpenGL and YA3DE. I'm developing the project alone and it's really a painful but rewarding task and I would be really thankful if someone helped me on this project. Thanks for your time, The green hollow cube. 22 Quote
Relzz Posted November 19, 2012 Posted November 19, 2012 Great! Im good in PS if you need some of that help with that :@ Quote
Vach Posted November 19, 2012 Posted November 19, 2012 THIS IS AWESOME AND I LOVE THIS MORE THAN ALL THE OTHER ONES YAAAAA. No more gay translation and sprite hard coding. I would like to help... But unfortunately I am no web programmer either. All my experience lies within C++. Quote
GreenBox Posted November 20, 2012 Author Posted November 20, 2012 I'm thinking in use a more modern UI like WOW and other newer games at least for the login/char selection. The in game UI could be the same but maybe with more modern elements. 2 Quote
GreenBox Posted November 20, 2012 Author Posted November 20, 2012 It's not web based, just the GUI. It's a standalone C++ OpenGL application using the Chrome engine to render the GUI as HTML+CSS3 over the game graphics. Quote
Mystery Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 Wow.. the graphics really pop up when using this client... all the models and textures really pop out and look a lot sharpened. o_O very well done especially being by yourself xD Quote
Maki Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 Great! Im good in PS if you need some of that help with that :@ I can also (and would love to) help if any photoshop-related skills are required. I.E. mock-up designs, ideas, etc. Quote
Jupeto Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 As for HTML5 and CSS3 I can help with the coding part Quote
GreenBox Posted November 20, 2012 Author Posted November 20, 2012 All help is welcome I'm actually porting the VS build system to CMake and removing some M$ specific code, soon I'll push the new code to the repo Quote
Vach Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 I'm not familiar at all with CMake, will it still compile in VS? Quote
GreenBox Posted November 20, 2012 Author Posted November 20, 2012 CMake generates Makefiles, Bjam files, VS 2005 - VS 2012 solutions and more, so you still use VS e.g. Quote
java Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 wow, amazing.. is this client can be used now? Quote
Jupeto Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 Are there any guidelines on the code conventions? Or how we will code the GUI? Quote
GreenBox Posted November 20, 2012 Author Posted November 20, 2012 I'll write some guidelines on the repo wiki on GitHub. Quote
Jupeto Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 Thank you, I'll try to create some template and GUI elements for you Quote
clydelion Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 As always, great work GreenBox! Web freaks, mob him now! ~All the best. Quote
GreenBox Posted November 20, 2012 Author Posted November 20, 2012 Done with the basic guidelines: https://github.com/greenboxal/fimbulclient/wiki/Coding-Guidelines Quote
GreenBox Posted November 20, 2012 Author Posted November 20, 2012 Awesome Maybe just put RO logo over the login form, move client version to one of the top corners and add copyright info on place of the current version. Quote
Jupeto Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 (edited) Just a concept... here you go... I don't know what to put at the bottom copyright LOL Edited November 20, 2012 by Jupeto Quote
Neo-Mind Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 nice work Jupeto. I like the interface (especially the theme in the second one ) Quote
Jupeto Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 (edited) nice work Jupeto. I like the interface (especially the theme in the second one ) Thanks for the compliment ^__^ @GreenBox, Just 1 question... are you planning to use some of the curret RO GUI or you're planning to have it something like this?
