GearHead: ArenaR First Release. Merry Christmas!

(1/10) > >>

Joseph Hewitt:
GearHead: Arena-R is a remake of GearHead-1 using the GearHead2 engine with Lua scripting. The idea is to use this as a learning tool- both for myself, and for those who want to create their own content. I invite you to join me in filling up this big empty world with cities, characters, and events.

https://sourceforge.net/projects/gearhead2/files/ArenaR/

What's done so far:
- Hogye Village
- The Mecha Sporch arena.
- Hogye Mine, complete with Wolfram at the bottom.
- Services: Quentin's shop, Hogye Clinic, and a mechanic.
- Calmegie Research Station
- The Mystery Machine, a Lua thingamabob for you to play around with.
- Two content files written up as tutorials.
- A new world map system, which I hope you'll like.

What isn't done:
- The rest of the world.
- Plots and stories. I wanted to start with the static content- quests and rancon- and expand into this later.
- Changes to the rule system. This will probably be done next.
- Graphics for water. Oops.

Try it out, then try adding your own stuff. Let me know what works. Or what doesn't... that could be more important.

Daemonward:
I tried to compile ArenaR from source, but I get a fatal error during linking. At first, I thought that it was because I didn't have lua installed, but after installing the lua5.1 package, I still get the same error. Are there any specific packages (in addition to those listed in the GH compilation guide) that need to be installed or any special setup instructions that need to be followed for this release?

I am currently running Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric Ocelot 64-bit.

Here is my output.

I have also tried to run the linux-SDL binaries, but I get a lua related error with that too. Here is the output.

Joseph Hewitt:
It does look like Lua is the problem. I'm running Debian stable now. I have lua5.1, liblua5.1-0-dev (needed to compile), and liblua5.1-0 installed; I seem to recall that all three are important.

SharkD:
Are you still using Pascal for the non-Lua stuff?

Do I need to re-compile the game every time I modify a quest or dialogue option?

How much game behavior are you planning to externalize?

--- End quote ---

Yes, of course. Lua was introduced to replace the homebrew scripting language, not to replace the underlying game engine.

No, of course not. You've never had to do that in the past so I don't know why you think it would be necessary now.

Eventually a lot. For now, as much as is needed to get things running.
