anyway, i'm not going to take the whole task myself (at least not now), so i'll stop flooding the topic now.

As for the shadow - that's one of the reasons I suggest restricting the upper level on any map. Either that or just edit the shadow out altogether. ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Tharg) http://codogames.yuku.com/sreply/60799 Thu, 27 Sep 2007 15:07:51 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: Idea for someone else : hotseast 2 levels - It's doable! ]]> http://codogames.yuku.com/reply/60798/t/Idea-for-someone-else-hotseast-2-levels-It-s-doable-.html#reply-60798

It's not quite as simple as just adding the same value to each one though, you need to calculate it somehow. I remember I posted an FAO for "Someone who understands how the configs work", and if I recall correctly Spaceman Spiff answered and explained it. It was quite a while ago though and the thread seems to have vanished now. ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Tharg) http://codogames.yuku.com/sreply/60797 Thu, 27 Sep 2007 13:25:30 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: Idea for someone else : hotseast 2 levels - It's doable! ]]> http://codogames.yuku.com/reply/60796/t/Idea-for-someone-else-hotseast-2-levels-It-s-doable-.html#reply-60796

Anyway, now that i tested it... common walls (not those metal topless) are higher than shown in game visually (that's why it's impossible to throw nades over them and bolts often "stop their path" in air above them).... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Duke Garland) http://codogames.yuku.com/sreply/60795 Thu, 27 Sep 2007 12:45:01 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: Idea for someone else : hotseast 2 levels - It's doable! ]]> http://codogames.yuku.com/reply/60794/t/Idea-for-someone-else-hotseast-2-levels-It-s-doable-.html#reply-60794

Test the targeting points when you've done this too. ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Tharg) http://codogames.yuku.com/sreply/60793 Thu, 27 Sep 2007 12:13:22 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: Idea for someone else : hotseast 2 levels - It's doable! ]]> http://codogames.yuku.com/reply/60792/t/Idea-for-someone-else-hotseast-2-levels-It-s-doable-.html#reply-60792

Well... bolts and balls... collision detection of these "objects" with terrain/units ... yeah.

however, targeting points for everything are fixed, and in general everything's coded in an assumption that units move in 2D. For example, Buzzer cannot fly over the Drone, although their actual sizes allow it, IIRC. feeds@yuku.com (Duke Garland) http://codogames.yuku.com/sreply/60790 Wed, 26 Sep 2007 21:23:32 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: Idea for someone else : hotseast 2 levels - It's doable! ]]> http://codogames.yuku.com/reply/60789/t/Idea-for-someone-else-hotseast-2-levels-It-s-doable-.html#reply-60789

You could have your naders and snipers on a building's roof, though, raining down death. Or have your goo spitter launch his gooball through a higher level's window.

All the 'physics' works already. I just think it'd be cool for someone to make it actually happen. With imaginative map design I think it could be a lot of fun. ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Tharg) http://codogames.yuku.com/sreply/60788 Wed, 26 Sep 2007 19:11:37 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: Idea for someone else : hotseast 2 levels - It's doable! ]]> http://codogames.yuku.com/reply/60787/t/Idea-for-someone-else-hotseast-2-levels-It-s-doable-.html#reply-60787
And you cannot "change levels via teleporting" as all your regens will be on the same height unless you have 2 different units for them thus removing some other unit...

Also, i doubt teleporting could touch z axis... As one of existing bugs shows and Fuzzywinker confirmed, grey teleportation is nothing more... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Duke Garland) http://codogames.yuku.com/sreply/60787 Wed, 26 Sep 2007 18:57:43 GMT <![CDATA[ Idea for someone else : hotseast 2 levels - It's doable! ]]> http://codogames.yuku.com/topic/3749/t/Idea-for-someone-else-hotseast-2-levels-It-s-doable-.html
What I was going to do was make a mod which would allow a choice of 2 races, and have one side on a level above the other.

All that's needed to be done is :

1) Modify two of the races, placing their shape 2 meters (or whatever) higher. Also modify the configs to draw them higher on the y axis, so they look... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Tharg) http://codogames.yuku.com/topic/3749 Wed, 26 Sep 2007 15:08:14 GMT
