I added "set dead heroes gain experience"

You will find it in tonight's nightly build.



I remember this discussion.

I am still open to changing this, but I think I like having a separate commands for the ones that are actually useful, and ignoring the ones that aren't. I Don't see any downside to having separate wrapper functions for these, and I think



reads better than

Since people asked (screenshot uploaded with JSH's permission):

Not complete yet, but should give a general idea of what it'll look like.

That is really really nice.

I like the colors.

Yeah, looks good. One thing bugs me, though: the shadows are completely wrong, and the color of the shadowed wall looks like completely different material than the rest of the wall. I'd rather see no shadows than weird shadows.

Also, I hope that's a mockup because that is a really weird layout. Trashcans at the table?

I *love* the four-poster hammocks.

The trash cans were filler I put in the room during testing. We'll want to vary things up eventually, but they definitely need to be smaller at least.

The graphics are good, but very brown.

the cube headed fellow is quite attractive.

I removed the shadowing on the walls, but for the most part most shadowing stuff will remain unchanged because I'd rather work on new stuff (or making the hammocks less crappy). The wall thickness increased.

And gosh dangit, I like the trashcans too much to make them smaller.

Intentional for the setting. Other places won't be as brown/yellow.

He gets that a lot. Quite popular with the ladies, I would say.

Yeah, everyone should be a blockhead like me.

Nice maptiles! They kind of remind me of a game I've seen before, but I can't quite remember which one it is I'm thinking of... they do look somewhat familiar, though.

Also, I don't see anything weird about having trashcans beside tables; it's a pretty common thing for people who do a lot of paperwork and don't want to walk halfway across the room to throw stuff away. Though they do look a little bit big.

The shaded walls do look a bit off, though; I'm thinking it's the lack of green. All the other walls have some green mixed in, but the shaded ones are all brown.

Very interesting, did you use the ohr default master palette for this?

---

Blip.

You have to go around them to get to the table, though.

No.

Wait, I honestly don't understand. Is this a house without a roof? Otherwise why are there shadows on the inside? What are the outer brown tiles? Dead grass? Shouldn't top right corners be 'slanted'?

I'll add with James that the hammocks look, I think, really darn cool, and the only thing I could think of to do with them would be to try to make them seem a little smaller. The garbage cans ARE cool, but it'll probably look a little funny if they look taller than the characters. Not a big deal, really.

I don't want to sound like I'm telling you what to do with your graphics. They look way better than anything I could do. I'm just suggesting along with Mogri that you just get rid of the shadows altogether. Shadows for objects are maybe okay, but shadows for walls, unless you want to take the time to be extra careful and consistent with them, I feel are not a good idea. It doesn't help that characters aren't gonna be shaded when they walk there (or are they? That would be a lot of work for a seemingly minor detail).
