Some of my stuff on the older clients.

[12171217]

Just thought I'd dump these here for the sake of showing a bit.

The original raycasting tests:


Wolfenstein clone:


Multiplayer Wolf clone:


Advanced GUI window system:


Movement system w/shield blocking:


Some MegaMan test stuff:


All of these were written in the old-ass 2.3 client, without an NPC-Server. Thus, no built-in Graal Windows for the GUI window system (They're handeled with showimgs. I also created an editor that would help you easily prepare the arrays and string sets for a desired window), or any of the fancy-schmancy newer features.

Enjoy

If you want the source to any of it, just ask. Note I'm also experienced in GS2 and could port them up if somebody so desired..

Wow, those are fantastic. Even more so due to the language choice.

[cbk1994]

Those are all very impressive.

[Soala]

Only one word: Woah

That raycasting is impressive -- how did you manage to skew images like that?

Just like you would if you were writing a software renderer in C or something, you show the texel that each trace hits to the corresponding pixel on a screen.

Of course, for Graal, this is more like:

You show the showimgpart that each trace hits to the corresponding co-ords on the "screen".

So I imagine you had about 320 or so scaled showimgpart, each representing a texel from the ray? I'm honestly amazed that GS could do this without epic lag.

Surely with GS2 and the new engine you can do things 10x better, I mean it sure does take a lot more system resources than it used to so it must be great, amirite?!

(nice stuff btw)

Nice raycasting engine

I was going to make some sort of multiplayer event with a raycasting engine not too long ago, but then another semester of school started and I picked up Flash instead

Here's a tiny video of it if you're curious. It's GS2 but it just uses showimgs like yours

lol! I saw that video before I made it; it was my inspiration to do it

Unfortunately, the 2.3 client can't scale ganis, so I couldn't do what I originally intended.

I actually started a lot of work on a 3D dungeon crawler server, similar to the older Elder Scroll's games. Unfortunately, I lost interest, although I did make a few kickass graphics for weapons.

[Umat]

You're good Downsider, keep up the good work.

[scriptless]

Wow. I am impressed. I am interested now in knowing how you did the 3dness of it lol because I like the editor lol. Keep up the good work dude.

[xXziroXx]

Impressive.

The video of that is a bit old; the newer version has an intro, boss select, scrolling levels (When you hit the bottom of a 22x20 screen size it scrolls down ala Mega Man), fixed screen focus, baddies, and ladders.
