Thats because i never got to the part where i figured out what i wanted to use for building and scenery

Plains for the purpose of distance thought im sure using some form of 2d would be more speed efficient

SirFire set up the collision last night...so im gonna finish them today...

Anyways anyone got any ideas for how i can handle buildings? they cant be 2d can they?

Maybe you could make the buildings out of multiple carboard cutouts?


At least farting ferrets are better than stinky stoats.

make the buildings isometric,then they might look 3D.

3d buildings, thats how they did it in that other 2d/3d mmorpg, can't remember what it's called. But shouldnt be hard to do, it's mostly just maps made in 3d with teh sprites etc as 2d.

good to see this project up again, love the 2d on 3d stuff.

Wigget i was afraid of that...i think ill keep the actual 3d really simple and just do the details as textures...

Anyone have any ideas for borders of each area...

you can go old school with the 3d buildings and make them seem like they are 2d with some sort of funky minimalist polygons and pixelated textures.

If buildings are made up of multiple sprite segments, you can hide any sprite that your character walks behind. Any 2D game that mimics 3D behavior does this.

If you don't want to do that, you can define only sections of a sprite for collision. That way, you collide with the bottom of a simple building but are still able to walk behind it and be covered up.


Come see the WIP!

Actually, that's incorrect. DarkBASIC's 2D is much slower than its 3D (And less powerful). You're better off using planes.

3D buildings shouldn't hurt, as you are using the RPG Maker XP sprites, it shouldn't effect the style as long as it looks 2D in the end, I know DBP can play with the diffuse, perhaps it can do luminance too, try that, it might work.

Yey! I removed the sig...

Just in case it hasn't been mentioned, sprites are actually 3D plains. If you turn backsave off, they're really fast, and all of the positioning occurs automatically.
