[Gameplay]
Player has ressources to manage: Food, gold, wood.
Possibility to create new units: Each units created requires a certain quantity of food, which reduce food ressources.
Each units created is independant from others.It has its own health, his own job, and many other things.
The Population Limit is fixed to 20 units.
Each unit can look for food, look for wood on a map, to increase the player ’s ressources.Just give him the order.
All natural ressources such as wood and fruits are limited.When there's no more ressources on a tree, it disappears from the map.


[Units]
Four types of units can be created:
*Peasants: they're dealing with the natural ressources and building tasks
*Soldiers
*Archers
*Riders
Note: Ai haven't been coded so military type units has no tasks.


[Building]
Peasants can build Houses.
Peasants can build Barracks.These builds are used to make military units.
Peasants can build Towers.

Commands
---------

Directional Pad/Joystick to move the selector on the screen

[How to Collect ressources:]
Select a Peasant unit.Thus click on any pont on the map to move him.Simply click on a ressource to order him collecting this.

[Knowbugs] Sometimes the unit reaches the waypoint and stands up.Select him again to ask him doing the task.

How much of this is actually from RedALua ?

[TurtlesPwn]

Not too much, I tried a comparison between them and found some things rather similar but most seemed like it was new or significantly changed.

[xXChromeXx]

Looks Nice

[dan369]

Good, real nice Dling NOW :)

I was wondering the same thing but I trust Turtles' examination.

Nice work, seanpaul223 :).

[seanpaul223]

Things i've extracted from redaLua code are tables to manage units/house..
all the rest was simple to do.

Sextracted you really must be sean paul lol

[seanpaul223]

:Edited:

[MiKeY188]

thanks man im downloading now. Hopefully its as good as it looks xD

[seanpaul223]

i guess too...:Jump:

I've started rewriting the whole code..i'll try fixing many goddam bugs.

EDIT: Here is a great Video Link, uploaded by ThyDavidCome.After bêta Trial he has listed all bugs report in the game..

Enjoy...

[M33_User]

This looks great. Thanks alot. A Warcraft 3 port to the PSP would be amazing. Wonder if it's possible.

[seanpaul223]

Thx M33 User,

I've already started working on a new Update, in other to fix bugs..Notice that i've restarted from zero...

What have been done yet..
Scrolling Feature included..the map is now larger..and it means more possibilities..
The map size is now 960*544.You can browse the map.
Also the Selector pic was changed..But who cares ? :ROFL:

Have a look



Don't care to the four values displayed on the left top of the screen..just variables for tests..

bunch of code waits me..

[TurtlesPwn]

No.

[seanpaul223]

New Shots.Just to let u have an idea of the great quantity of ressources available since the map size was icreased...








Now dealing with the TownCenter and the units creation/moving animation..
-=Double Post Merge =-
New Progress On the code.

Summarizing:
The Scrolling feature has been added.you can now explore a huge map size.Works fine.

Added Units creation with TownCenter.Units appears near the towncenter.

Walking animation completed.Work fine.
Bug fixed: When you asserts a destination to a unit, even if he reaches the point, he's still walking.Now Fixed.

Other bug fixed: Units will not move if you clicks on the board.

New screenshot: See all units can explore the map.

[dan369]

nice, you work fast lol.

[seanpaul223]

...yeah and i'm tired now..
goind to take a lttle rest.Haven't sleep since 36 hours..

[eldiablov]

This is honestly shaping up nicely. Good work.

[thecobra]

nice work seanpaul223, i cant wait until you add a real cool ai battle ;)

[seanpaul223]

INfo...Like some of you said, i'm goind fast sometimes..too fast that i forget importants facts..
i've got a genius idea..And it obliges me to restart from the start.
The fact is that the code will be simplified at shortened, good for the RAM..

More infos if i succeed in write in code the idea i got.

And just to inform..the following release will have AI and fight scenes..i've the way to code it also.

Maybe i'll have questions in the Lua Help Thread...

[xXChromeXx]

Its getting better and better

[Gefa]

there are some bugs....

[corytheidiot1]

Thought you might like to know these probs:
When I try to command the guys to build a building by clicking the icon for what I want them to build they will build it where the button is, right under the black bar.

Also if you command multiple people to do the same thing, they go to the exact same spot so that from then on you have to command all of them at once. And that slows the game down a good little bit. You may want to speed up the cpu to maybe 300mhz or so.

[MiKeY188]

ive tried it and its really cool. sure needs bit of work but its probably one of the best coded lua games!

[eldiablov]

there are some bugs....

You have to be a little more specific so that the dev has a chance of fixing them.

[TurtlesPwn]

"You may want to speed up the cpu to maybe 300mhz or so."

Why not find the root of the problem in the code and fix that?

[niko86]

"You may want to speed up the cpu to maybe 300mhz or so."
Your name is fitting. Rather than taking the stupid way out, why not find the root of the problem in the code and fix that?

Yeah because the problem will only get worse as the game develops and more units come on screen if it isnt sorted soon.

Seanpaul mentioned he is simplifying his code so probably get sorted soon anyway.

[seanpaul223]

there are some bugs....

Maybe if u tells more, they'll be a chance for me to overcome them. :humped:

EDIT: New Updates

Added Ressources Display on the Whole map
Added TownCenter Display on the map.You've to scroll down a lot to see this.
Added Player's Towncenter Burning animation.This will be when AI attacks.

Shots:

The town Center and its health


As its health decreases it starts burning


Burning more and more


Burning all...(we be burning not concerning what nobody wanna say..) :humped:


No more towncenter when health reaches zero

[PSProgramer]

DUAE this looks Awesome man, keep it up.
