It might be good to have us test the age, you know ... upload into UAM and test it in UruCC/Drizzle.
(Can't blame me for trying
)
Oh, all right, release it when you're good and ready, but it is encouraging that your lag issues seem to be solved with the visregions. I'm glad you didn't have to do another major overhaul.

Yeah, I'm kind of glad too. But I have to add many many objects to the alcscript now. That takes alot of time.
Anyone please may help me once again with the wavesets?For the ocean waveset I'm using an old code with shores included. But right now I don't need any shores. So that part can become deleted. But I don't want to touch the code anymore.
This is the code:
Code: Select all
waveset:
logic:
actions:
- type: ripplevsmgr
ripplevsmgr:
matpreshade: splashrings
matrtshade: splashrings

I'm using wavesets in the caves too. But hey have another code. Additionally I'm using splashrings too in the age.
Outside of Breldur I have an object called "splashrings" with the material "splashrings".
I was trying to change the codes for the cave wavesets in a way that the splashrings appear on them too. But I did not have success.
The splashrings appeared on the cave wavesets, but they dissappeared on the ocean waveset. I don't know what I did wrong.
Anyone please change the code for me? Do I have to duplicate the splashrings object and the splashrings material and rename it?
Code: Select all

Hi Jonnee.
Not sure what your first question is - but if you want to remove the shores in the first script, just remove the lines which reference them.
So remove the lines
Regarding your "Next step" : Never share objects or materials used in wavesets. Neither in general nor between wavesets.
So you guessed it right: You have to create a new object and a new material (make sure it has only a single user) for your second waveset.

Just delete this:

Did you just copy the whole logic section to waveset2? That would create a conflict and PyPRP will just use the last one it finds. That is why I usually attach the logic scripting for my splash ripples to the ripple decal object. Try this:
Code: Select all
<your ripple decal>:
logic:
actions:
- type: ripplevsmgr
ripplevsmgr:
matpreshade: splashrings
matrtshade: splashrings
targets:
- waveset
- waveset2
waveset: waveset

As you can see there still seems to be a conflict in the line: waveset: waveset
I'm not sure what this line does, but in the PyPRP source it is called the WaveSetBase. So maybe it just needs one (any?) waveset as its "base". I mean, what is the point of allowing multiple waveset targets if this line still applies the ripplevsmgr to only one waveset?
Anyway, if we don't try we'll never know.
And if it fails you can always fall back to the separate material method.

Shorah, explorers!
I'm kind of doubtful. Right now I'm a bit busy, I don't have alot of time to work on Breldur.
I was trying to create this observatory a few days ago. Yeah, I know. It really looks like Tomahna.
The observatory matches good to the age's story. But I really don't know if I should continue creating this room because of the big likeness of the room's outside to Tomahna.
What do you think?

It does look really nice, but it also does look very familliar.. Maybe you can slightly modify its design so that it doesn't look so familiar?

Well, let's not exaggerate. Any round "spider web pattern" window will look familar to one in Tomahna.

More than the window this is the way it is attached in the middle of a rock arch that reminds me of Tohmana. But this is not really a bad thing, that design is really nice; and if this Age was written by an explorer it may have been inspired by Tohmana.

I like it, you might include a journal that informs the explorer that it was inspired by Tomahna. Nice to see your update, Jonnee.

It's up to you Jonnee, but I think it looks cool.
