Daedalus-VM (Scripting)

Code execution

• Working
  • Interpreting all of the daedalus-instructions
  • Calling functions, stack, etc
  • Calling externals
  • Initializing instances
• TODO:
  • Classes are described in Daedalus::registerGothicEngineClasses, which can be done automatically. The Daedalus-Symbols of the classes are actually in order, so we can just map everything using that, instead of making use of an evil makro.
  • Symbols have unused variables and are very heavy, which could be improved
  • Externals.cpp is currently containing everything and should be split up.
  • Creating an NPC is pretty messy, as there are externals defined inside some classes in the Daedalus-namespace, triggering callbacks to REGoth-code, pre- and post-versions... That can be improved.
  • Monster AI

World loading

.zen

• Works
  • Extracting the world-mesh
  • Putting vobs
  • Initializing the world using script-functions (inserting items/npcs)
• TODO
  • Not all vobs implemented (particle-systems, decals)
  • Loader is crammed into the WorldInstance-class, which can be improved greatly.
  • Preprocessing of the worldmesh and collisionmesh takes ages. Can be cached or speed up.

.json (Savegame)

• Works
  • All vob-types supported by the .zen-loader, except mobs!
  • Inserting NPCs/Items from json-file instead of startup-script
  • Export/Import of all major controllers
• TODO
  • Read mobs (Some work is done for that already!)
  • Compress on the fly, maybe do some simple encryption
  • Loader is crammed into WorldInstance as well, which can be improved.

Input

• Works
  • Binding (multiple) keys to actions
  • Mouse input
• TODO
  • Android-Input is pretty bare

Video

• Works
  • Drawing of World-Mesh, Static-meshes, Animated models
  • Fog
  • Day/Night coloring
• TODO
  • WorldRender.cpp doesn't look very good. Rendering-system should be reworked at some point.
  • Compile the shaders for D3D11/12 on windows

Audio

• Works
  • Decoding of Gothics ADPCM compressed .WAV-files and PCM .WAV files
  • Playback of speech in dialogs and some sound effects like level up sound, and log entry added sound
  • Ambient sounds
  • Animation-triggered sounds
  • Using OpenAL for 2D and 3D sound playback
• TODO
  • music

UI

• Works
  • Main menu (mostly)
  • Log-screen
  • Status-screen (basic only)
  • Usage of Gothics original font files (zCFont from ZenLib) + drawing them
  • Advanced Console
  • Dialogue animations
• TODO
  • Inventory
  • Settings-screen

Ports

• Works
  • Linux
  • Windows
  • Mac OSX
  • Android
• TODO
  • bgfx-cmake fails to compile on BSD (clang)
  • N64-port

Game Objects

PlayerController

• Works
  • Basic collision-detection
  • Script-State tracking
  • Equipping all kinds of items
  • Using Mobs (still early version)
  • [More, but I'm tired right now]
  • Moving to arbitrary positions
• Todo
  • Rename to CharacterController
  • Implement proper physics
  • NPCs take other paths than in the original (Baal Parvez runs through the forest from the old camp (I think!))
  • Many Event-Messages are not implemented yet
  • Fighting system
  • States like death, unconsciousness, burning, etc
  • NPCs not reacting to the player going into their houses
  • Swimming
  • Torches
  • ... Probably way more ...

MobController

• Works
  • MobCore-system describing the different types of mobs without needing a new controller every time
  • Playing animations on both Mob and interacting player
  • Finding all positions we can interact from
  • Tracking of the current state the mob is in
• TODO
  • Find out what the max-state is and block it there
  • Complicated mobs like alchemy-tables, beds, doors are not implemented yet

ItemController

• Done.

VisualController

• Works
  • Displaying of static and animated meshes
  • Setting up static collision for triangle-meshes
  • Particle-Systems
• TODO

  • Decals
  • Removing a collision-mesh from the world

CameraController

• Works
  • Much stuff, but this thing should be completely rewritten.
