B Fantasy [WB] The Desert Dancer

[Do not look here]

Looking nice, although a bit too washed off. I believe the cloudy weather might be a reason.

Spice and rocks looks marvelous though. Also, name change. Sounds good.

@Do not look here: I know, since I changed the textures to more desert-oriented colors the whole place looks duller. I still have to change the mountain texture and work on the world map to add more winding features... look really flat now. Also, unfortunately, right now I have no idea how to change weather effects. I will have to look into that so it won't rain or snow or fog in the desert 

Work in progress attacking people in settlements and creating a personal energy shield.

And some more eye candy here, new HUD display:

[Dawiduh]

Finished implementing the troublesome "attack people in town" set of scripts. You can attack people in towns and villages which will cause loss of popularity both in the settlement and in the eyes of the local lord.

Thanks to Slawomir of Aaarrghh, HokieBT (biggest part of the code), Swyter (combing up the code), SheriffTheRevenger (lose popularity code) and MadVader for putting up with my lack of mable language.

There are some issues that bug me still, as the fact that you can still press TAB and get out of the place just like that and that the village and/or town still allow you to enter even if your popularity is -100, but that can wait for now.

Sounds great, just like back in MnB.

 

[Dawiduh]

Thanks, it's (very) slowly coming together. The good thing I'm getting more and more accustomed to the mable language, but far from being a good coder.

Now I'm working on implementing a personal force shield as described in the books. I'm trying to merge somehow the deployable pavise code with the capture the flag code as in deploying a scene prop onto yourself. Until now it only crashes the game, oh joy, hahaha!

 

[Mad Vader]

I'd like to add my support for this mod, as Dawiduh's crazy willpower will make it happen some day. And I love Dune as well.

 

[Dawiduh]

Thanks MadVader, coming from such an unforgiving critique as yourself, this means a lot.

BTW, the scene prop for the personal force shield works... now I need to follow Lumos' advice and making it into a non wield-able item than can be activated in order to cast the bubble shield. God help me.

On the other hand there will be a one month hiatus due to personal reasons (my family comes to visit and I have to babysit them) so I will start work again around June 1st.

In the meantime, here you go, a banner

I had quite a boring day at work today and I also had some inspiration so i did the two moons seen from Arrakis. This is WIP and they'll be placed on a starlit background to look realistic.

I need to work a bit more to make the shapes look more like terrain and not drawings and also differentiate each moon's background texture. But that is just finesse to be added and the main work has already been done.

 

[Kwal]

Nice! That is the sort of detail that makes a mod great

 

[Dawiduh]

Thanks! Though I doubt people will be gazing at the moons. Probably I can blur them a bit and do the skybox already...

 

[La Grandmaster]

You could try turning the edges into ridges or something - like this but only spend more time on it

Spoiler

Just did it quickly to give you an idea 

 

[Dawiduh]

There you go, I took it a bit further 

Spoiler

Ok, the Fist moon is a bit too full of ridges. I remade it here:

Some Pyon Sun Hat... nice and wide to keep the sun away

[doctorwarband]

Wow, this mod looks great!
Good luck with it!

 

[JanPanbran]

amaazin!!!

 

[Dawiduh]

That was fast...

 

[Mad Vader]

From now on, any person expressing support for this mod will be permanently banned unless they can spell all their words correctly.
Thank you.

18th june 2013 Update​

Lumos has graciously offered his expertise in the shield coding and thus the mod now has a working shield. Only attacks from behind the shield will injure the character. There are still a few things to fine tune, but the shield is working (mostly visual). Thanks again Lumos!

​

Also my website is currently down and all images stored there are unreachable. Sorry for the inconvenience.​

Also work is slowly progressing. I am working on building scene props.
