Classic RPG: Zeron is hiring for car system

[HerrChris]

I had drawn a jeep long time ago for Zone at 45° in the diagonal sprites - and it sucks pretty much because it looks compressed and unproportional.

Actually we had to draw the baselines at a 33.75°-angle in the diagonal sprites. That would best fit with Graals orthographic parallel projection.
But its much easier to draw the one line at 45° and the other at 27.5° especially when having curves

Edit: And because of that there are no longer big questions of what direction of the player should be chosen in the gani since we had no diagonal chars

You've got a pretty decent point there, but I thought it might look strange when actually driving around with this.

You guys definitely seem to know what you are planning, Best of luck to you guys.

P.S: Thanks for the song title. I am happy now since I couldn't figure it out when myself heard it on the radio going down the highway haha.

I've encountered the same problems when working on diagonal car sprites of my own. Although i haven't really done the math, i also came to the conclusion of keeping one line 45 degrees, and changing the other, because it looks wrong and "compressed" like you said.

Thanks for the angle though, i hope you don't mind it if i use it in the future.

Good choice scripter, a lil silly at times but good choice.

Please take a look on my server: Fusion. I already scripted a car class that works (but at the moment only with 4 directions - 8 directions and more shouldn't be a problem) with fluent movement. Example cars are on the overworld.

Also multiple players can go by one and the same car (but the first player that enters/or the owner - if set - is the driver).

At the moment I try to rotate a (single direction) car image by setting its angle Clientside so that it isn't rotating jerkily anymore. The rest like movement and triggering an event to the specific car - e.g. if a direction key and/or acelerate/decelerate-key was pressed by the driver - is serverside (for security reasons).

DUDE! This server looks badass! Keep up the work!

[HerrChris]

thanks a lot

now... eeerm we have a serious problem - or to put it another way: We are looking for NATs once again, who are able to finish Zerons car system.

We have already an unfinished car system, so its up to you if you want to start at the bottom or not

Who has the balls to script that? hehe

Why am I so intrigued by something as base as killing a man with a car?

It's like a classic song, or movie... some things just make us happy.
