OpenArthurianX6 – Pushing dev for Milestone 1

Still not there but it’s been a lot of work. As I worked towards the goals for Milestone 1 I found quite a bit of work was needed on the dialogs and the mobs AI.

Changes

• “The Law of Virtue” scenario
  • New test map (Forest clearing)
  • Cutscenes
  • Asteroth conversation
  • Shamino conversation
• Scenario setup
  • Read starting map, starting time of day and starting player position from Scenario Info
  • Allow placing NPCs and Mobs on the tiled map
• Added support for simple “Cutscenes”, that is sequences of text dialogs to tell the story.
• Dialogs
  • Support multiple fragments of dialog per keyword
  • Add variants per keyword based on player flags
  • Add support for “triggers” executed inside the conversation
  • Add triggers to join the party, end conversation and set player flag
  • Fall back to “unknown” dialog if no match on variant
  • Merge triggers into the dialog as objects so they happen sequentially
  • Add support for dialog qualifiers (in addition to normal dialog lines)
    • Dialog interruption: for other NPCs to participate in.
    • Event: For event descriptions
  • Add support for keyword synonyms
  • Allow NPCs to start a dialog when getting closer
• AI
  • Make friendly mobs act differently than party members
  • Make unfriendly NPCs have a minimum range before chasing
  • Implement intents for mobs
    • seekPlayer: Do nothing waiting for the player to be on sight
    • waitCommand: Do nothing.
  • Implement subintent logic based on intent.
  • Use direct LOS to define if can track player.
• Combat
  • Speed up combat
•  Art
  • Added Shamino and Soldier Mob appearances
