stealing a page from @Geoffers747 playbook, why don’t we collect some questions for the event?
the stream will begin at 4PM PST (6PM CST / 11PM UTC / 1AM CET), but you can check your corresponding timezone here…
as usual the stream can be watched over at the [urlhttp://www.twitch.tv/radiantentertainment] twitch channel[/url], with an archived recording to be available once the stream concludes…
feel free to ask some questions in here, and if you like the question you see, “like it”… prior to the stream we’ll put the top 5/10 in this post for the team…
some rules, because we’re mean like that…
please limit it to two questions per person (with a new post for each question)
i tried to squeeze it in the title, but it might not have been too descriptive…
it seems @Tom will be continuing his work on the day/night visual indicator, as well as:
I’ll be doing a new live stream tomorrow at 4:00 US Pacific time.
Right now I’m working on adding the concept of time to the game, so
we’ll be doing some animation and AI work to make our little guys
sleep when they get tired!
you mean the IDE? this has been mentioned before, but unfortunately i cant find the reference… i believe @Tom mentions it in the animating the mammoth stream…
I have in my mind that in terms of the player it was more about having different files for translation purposes. My question is more related to text which you do not want to save in a variable (e.g. the description of the uber-sword you have created) but if you want to provide a .txt-file together with your mod which includes text or stories which can be imported and processed within the mod.
Yes, since localizing text that embedded into code is a nightmare.
We have some custom lua functions that will help you easily get at .json and .txt files. For javascript, you can currently use the jquery load APIs, though we may yet wrap them in helper functions.
Oh and one quick silly question… this will be my first livestream I’ll actually be home in time for. Is there a special chat that everyone uses, or does it just work through Twitch?
All your names and descriptions and things should probably be in text files to allow for localization, otherwise people have to change the code which is bad. As far as I can tell at least all text that will be viewed by player should be localizable and thus in separate files.
