Hey whats up people?
Hi @paezao, just working, you?
Working as well
And playing around with UO mul files again haha
:) fun times, i think my infatuation with UO gone, VR has taken over my life lol
oh hha
what are you working on?
at work, im doing hololens stuff
at home i just play DCS world
;)_
lol
awesome
Wish I had VR and a hotas
i went a little overboard http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826280021 i got this
wow
nice!
I had a x52
I sold it :(
wish I didnt tbh
i have one of those, now for sale lol
i had a x52 pro, upgraded to the warthog
Cool
so no more hobby coding? haha
times getting short for me, i do some lua modding for dcs, but ya, i got a 5 yo in school, a baby on the way, lifes a bit more complex, not leaving much room for hobby's, and the little time i have i dont usually wanna code since i do it all day at work, so i usually spend that time decompressing with games or tv.
haha makes sense
Im really busy too
but I always play around with projects I never finish
ya, my github repo shows that same thing
;)
i think nearly 19 years of interest in a game is long enough haha
the 1 hobby project im thinking of making is a profile editor and loader for the warthog, thrustmasters TARGET system is garbage.
damn
i much prefer how Saitek's was
your making me wish I had that x52 pro still haha
;)
Pretty sure it wouldnt be to difficult, but again, time.
so Im playing around with making a UO client ill never finish in C
haha
haha
sounds painful
I like C
so its fun for me
and im lacking ideas
to much work lol
so remaking something is "easier" haha
im not a huge fan of memory management
yes ill never finish it definitely haha
thats kinda what I wanna learn
mem management
and low level stuff
ah
i know it enough, i still have to do it in C# sometimes
and thats enough for me
being mostly a UI engineer, i still have to deal with it
and I mostly do web dev at work when I get to code
so it kinda bores me to death haha
ah ya
we got a team i help out with here doing a lot of that, angular, typescript, etc. I really dislike webdev so i keep my distance
yea i used to like it
but it bores me now
:(
haha
i was worried for a while, it looked as tho FAT clients were a thing of the past, but i was able to find a job where that wasnt the case, and they kinda made a comback
seems to flip flop, web gets more advanced, does a lot of what fatclients do, then some tech comes out making fatclient better, and web lags
haha
i do think webgl has made it to the point where a full UO client is totally doable now, im shocked i havent seen anyone doing this (granted i havent really looked)
well im using raylib
which compiles for webgl
im still working on the map rendering
and it's far from finished hehe
;) ya especially with webasm, seems like you could make a client that was fast, responsive and ran on my modern browsers
that would be cool definitely
using opengl now @jeffboulanger so I can make the Z thing work on land
stretching the texture and such
do you know how to convert from world location to mapblock and coordinates?
its kinda complicated
you might wanna try to just look at how its done in uxna
I had this covered before but forgot it
ya
i'd have to figure it out again for the n'th number of times ;)
its one of those things i try not to remember lol
hahaha
okay
Ill look into it :D
512 blocks down, by 768 blocks across.
each block is 8x8
well, UO is stored in 8x8 blocks, so you can efficiently render in intervals of 8
so, 16x16 or 24x24
and you want to render the blocks in 8x8 chunks
uxna doesnt do this, and it has clipping issues sometimes
and u wanna render UO-North to south, and for each index, UO east to west
and the Z coord is actually tile.y+=(z*4)
or -4
depending on your coord system
hm
im rendering north to south west to east
whastw rong with doing it like that?
ya thats what i meant
for(y) { for(x) {
however
you need to do it in 8x8 clusters
i believe
i remember having really efficient code at some point
performance-wise
its been to long
yes Im doing that
every block is 8x8
i might have something here
i dont remember, its been a long time
i may not have actually checked it in even
Nice
ill take a look when i get a chance
I actually called the client open uo
and then remembered about your repo
so I changed the name lol
:)
haha
https://github.com/jeffboulanger/OpenUO/blob/master/Client/Testing/TestRendering.cs looks like i started, but never finished lol
i could have sworn i had world render code in openuo somewhere
been to long
gonna try and fill the screen with tiles now somehow
im only rendering a single one
