OpenCS, unlike the original Construction Set, has the advantage of being built on top of extended use case study. This was the way that led us to creating a concept of GUI concentrated around filters, granting easy access to any specific group of records stored in data files.

Any. Really. No kidding.

For instance we are able to display only one type of records, like weapons as well as only added records. But that’s trivial. Real fun begins when you are able to display two types of records, for example NPC and Weapons thanks to “or” logical operation.

Using “and” allows you, for example to display only added weapons, or only weapons dealing more than 20 damage points with chop.

At the moment it works, but we clearly need to add a default set of filters, automatically created during the creation of a new mod (hopefully this will be ready soon), auto-completion for optimal speed when selecting or creating a filter and other convenient tools.

Other than that:
We are slugs again. This time not because of low height. OpenMW development rate is far from being rapid. Although Chris still does his physics rework, gus works on combat AI (so Fargoth will be able to defend himself from WeirdSexy) and we have a new developer, it is difficult to say that I’m happy.

On the other hand OpenCS development goes mostly fine. Zini recently finished implementing Saving feature, and a large warning in the startup screen about OpenCS being Alpha stage, not ready for “production enviroment™”. Graffy did a little bit more work on content file selector.

Trochę nuda. 2013-09-19 - sir_herrbatka

Witajcie!

Chyba najciekawszą wieścią z ubiegłego tygodnia, jest rozpoczęcie prac nad opcją zapisu w edytorze. Wprowadzenie tej funkcji umożliwi wykorzystanie edytora OpenCS do tworzenia i modyfikowanie pluginów gry, a to z kolei zachęci do testowania, i poprawi morale zespołu — podniesienie użyteczności aplikacji ponad poziom 0 po prostu musi wpłynąć pozytywnie na nastroje.

Tymczasem Chris nadal odprawia rytuały voodoo w kodzie fizyki (nie znam się na voodoo, nawet na wódzie nie bardzo — nie pytajcie o co tu w zasadzie chodzi).

Prace nad implementacją TGM również są w toku, co na pewno ucieszy nałogowych cheaterów pomimo nawet braku zbyt wielu dróg do grobu bohatera głównego.

I to niestety wszystko. Ten tydzień nie był szczególnie udany.

Welcome once again.

There is something important happening right now with our editor. Zini started to add a saving feature, so FINALLY we will be able to make a MOD with our editor. That’s something, right? Ah yes, and it seems that the filter feature works quite good now.

Chris continues performing his cryptic magic in the physics branch. Don’t ask me… It really looks huge.

Work on the TGM feature has begun, so you will finally be able to cheat more (there is no point to cheat in OpenMW, but so there is no point to cheat in Morrowind).

And yes, that would be it. This week was certainly a little bit lazy.

OpenMW 0.26.0 wydane! 2013-09-12 - sir_herrbatka

Co w tym tygodniu?

To słabe…

To nieciekawe…

Tego nie rozumiem…

A to? Tak, to będzie dobre!

Panie i panowie! Chłopcy i dziewczęta! O to, w całej swej krasie OpenMW 0.26.0! Zalecam pobranie paczek na stronie do ściągnięcia.

Zalecam jednak ostrożność. OpenMW 0.26.0 to najbardziej brütalne wydanie w historii projektu, otwiera możliwość zadawania bólu, cierpienia i śmierci z wykorzystaniem broni białej; wilkołactwo; mechanizm tonięcia. Wideo nagrane przez jak zwykle fantastycznego WeirdSexy oddaje to w całej, okrutnej i przerażającej głębi.

Inne rzecz na które należy zwrócić uwagę:
