Oasis Environment

konidias · #1 10-19-2002, 02:22 AM

For a few days I have been working on the Oasis environment. Oasis will have a realistic weather system, and constantly changing environment.

For weather, there will be rain, snow, sleet, hail, and wind. Also I hope to be creating an actual "sun" that will travel over the land for day/night effect. The sun's position will also adjust the shadows of things, such as trees. There will also be various non-visual weather effects like drought.

The environment/landscape will also change with weather and seasons. Wind will make the leaves on trees move around and also blow small things around. Seasons will change and so will the color of the plantlife. Changes are gradual for each season, so for example, summer will have a step by step progression to fall.

I have attached an example of casting shadows and different leaf colors. I would also like to announce that the contributors for Oasis are:

Loriel - scripting
Birdbird - graphics
Falados - scripting
Konidias - a little of everything

To make the sun and the different alignemts of the shadows for the sun would take a long time. o.o
Once I get my new computer, if I ever do x.x, I'll be sure to check your server out when its done.

Well the world will be in a gmap but no 3d terrain, allowing for the "sun" to pass over the entire land effectively. The shadow casting system is simple. I made a test of it last night with the mouse as the light source

Should be a server worth-while seeing then.

The leaves look kinda funky when they change with the pixelation.

k crap, oasis is way better then 2k2 gfx wise. Graal went from pixel to 3d, it should stay pixel and fricking oasis is what graal should be.

That's pretty cool.

But still doesn't top my #1 favorite graal graphics.... a bush... but I won't say who made it or what it's for....

Nice.

But shouldnt the trees be leafless by halfway through autumn?
