Orxonox

Since I have a quick question that doesn't warrant a thread in its own, I thought I might start this thread to address exactly such question. So whenever you have a question that is quick and you think has a quick and simple answer, you can use this thread to ask it. Now to my question: Since the ne...

I like the idea to use the string to identify the message instead of the sender, it explains more clearly how I intend it to be used. So I'll adjust that in the code and documentation (which isn't up to date anyhow...). I think putting the notification system on top of the event system would be prud...

I used DesktopRecorder, which is in the ubuntu repositories. I tried with sound but that didn't seem to work, but admittedly I didn't really try to get it to work. @x3n Nice video. :) I actually played Race Driver GRID a few times (if it's the one with the rewind feature ;) ), but I just was so bad ...

I just made the first video about orxonox posted on youtube. You can watch it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8eLiO0h2s8k

I als found out, that apparenty one of our orxonox skyboxes is used in another game: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKwYljMa ... re=related

I've been working for quite some while now on notifications and lately have begun to convert some of the overlays that display useful information to the new notification framework. In the process of doing that I started to reconsider the viability of one design decision in particular I made along th...

That sounds awesome. :D We might also want to have some randomization in a level, to have levels that offer a different experience each time they're played. (So beyond randomization on level creation time) Much like the random maps e.g. in Age of Empires II. But I think we can still do (and should) ...

I think that, in the interest of cohesion, it would be beneficial to create some set of (loose, but reasonably complete) guidelines for content creation. So I updated the wiki page and put the color scheme in it. http://www.orxonox.net/wiki/cc_guidelines I invite you to both review/refine the curren...

I just created the pool and started organizing it, moving models in folders and creating the info files.

Please feel free to participate.

Notifications should work over the network, at least they did, last time i checked. Maybe I could think up some kind of interface. I think that it would be a good idea to unfiy all these GamteypeMessages under notifications, to make things a little simpler and more generic, for that classes in orxon...

Yes, as soon as the notifications module is back in orxonox (instead of the modules) you can just send a notification, which is rather straight forward. I'm actually working on making the notifications better and once that is done they'll be moved into the orxonox directory again.

I agree. In response to the higher contrast discussion, I just tried to make the spaceship brighter, here's the result of ~30 seconds tweaking. So I think, Fabians proposition can definitely be applied to my icon, and we should do that. On another note do we need a .svg version for the debian reposi...

As requested, the three main colors of the color scheme:

#5b3410
#b21100
#c0daca

Two layers up sounds reasonable, then it would be on the lowest level of the structure in the data_extern.

What do you guys thing about the structure of the info file?

We are excited to welcome the new students to the Orxonox PPS this spring semester 2011.

So please write something about yourself (Name, Interests, ...) and post the link to your wiki page.

Ok, so let me once again summarize: Use game/data/pool as path Same directory structure as existing data repository but deeper levels with additionally, e.g. {billboard,texture,...} , {metal, rock, ...} , {texture names} For models one directory per model, with current state, old states, .blend file...
