About effects.

[juliolitwin]

Hello, I would like to thank you for the excellent project!

I don't know much about the D language, but this project and roBrowser are being a great reference for learning. I am looking to start a project in Unity 3D, but due to several factors, I believe that there is a "problem", which are the effects. Many look like they are hardcoded, have you gotten to check them out? Is there anything we can do to get them and convert?

Cheers!

There're effects that use .str files(storm gust for instance) and, sadly, other hardcoded ones which can only be implemented in the code. We need to reimplement hardcoded ones.

How are progress in about of rendering (assets, models, animations, sprites, waters and etc), have you managed to get 100%? Only pending would be the question of the effect? Or are there other issues pending?

And thanks for responding so fast lol

.rsw's water is semi-done, also i don't know how to render correctly the lights. On some maps lights look good, but on other ones there're overexposure and underexposure. .spr and .rsm are rendered 100% correctly. .str is rendered almost correctly i think. 0 hardcoded effects are reimplemeted.

Main goal for now is to implement missing UI parts, in-game interaction, etc.

Sensational project. :]

I even received a snippet code from an example of the hardcoded, I am trying to replicate it on Unity, but it is something very specific to RO.

For example of what the structure looks like:

void    CRagEffect :: Portal()
{
    if (m_stateCnt == 0) {
        vector3d & pPos = g_modeMgr.GetGameMode()->GetWorld()->m_player->m_pos;
        g_prim = LaunchEffectPrim(PP_3DCYLINDER);
        g_prim->m_duration = m_duration;
        g_prim->m_arcAngle = 36.0f;
        g_prim->m_outerSize = 3.5f;
        g_prim->m_innerSize = 3.5f;
        g_prim->m_longSpeed = 4.0f;
        g_prim->m_heightSize = 40.0f;
        g_prim->m_alpha = 0;
        g_prim->m_maxAlpha = 128;
        g_prim->m_alphaSpeed = g_prim->m_maxAlpha / 6;
        g_prim->m_fadeOutCnt = g_prim->m_duration - 6;
        g_prim->m_texture = new CTexture* [g_prim->m_totalTexture];
        g_prim->m_texture[0] = g_texMgr.GetTexture("effect\\ring_blue.tga");

        g_prim = LaunchEffectPrim(PP_3DCYLINDER);
        g_prim->m_duration = m_duration;
        g_prim->m_arcAngle = 36.0f;
        g_prim->m_outerSize = 4.0f;
        g_prim->m_innerSize = 4.0f;
        g_prim->m_longSpeed = 5.0f;
        g_prim->m_heightSize = 50.0f;
        g_prim->m_alpha = 0;
        g_prim->m_maxAlpha = 128;
        g_prim->m_alphaSpeed = g_prim->m_maxAlpha / 6;
        g_prim->m_fadeOutCnt = g_prim->m_duration - 6;
        g_prim->m_texture = new CTexture* [g_prim->m_totalTexture];
        g_prim->m_texture[0] = g_texMgr.GetTexture("effect\\ring_blue.tga");
    }

    if (m_stateCnt % 14 == 0) {
        g_prim = LaunchEffectPrim(PP_3DCIRCLE);
        g_prim->m_duration = 30;
        g_prim->m_deltaPos2.y = -1.0f;
        //g_prim->m_renderFlag |= RF_NODEPTHCHECK;
        g_prim->m_innerSize = 8;
        g_prim->m_latitude = 90;
        g_prim->m_matrix.MakeXRotation(GetRadian(g_prim->m_latitude));
        g_prim->m_radiusSpeed = 1.0f;
        //g_prim->m_radiusAccel = -(g_prim->m_radiusSpeed / (g_prim->m_duration + 40)) * 2.0f;
        g_prim->m_radiusAccel = -(g_prim->m_radiusSpeed / g_prim->m_duration) / 2.0f;
        //g_prim->m_alpha = 200;
        g_prim->m_fadeOutCnt = g_prim->m_duration - (g_prim->m_duration / 2);
        g_prim->InitSegment();
        g_prim->m_texture = new CTexture* [g_prim->m_totalTexture];
        g_prim->m_texture[0] = g_texMgr.GetTexture("effect\\ring_blue.tga");
    }
}

Another question, is there any discord to the project?

For the specific Unity implementation we have a discord for UnityRO: https://discord.gg/ZnDhAEGv
