| 19:13.15 | merlinludwig | Now timecat, i gotta ask. Is ur's a pure remake? |
| 19:13.28 | timecat | no |
| 19:13.42 | timecat | i wanted to make it more interesting |
| 19:13.46 | merlinludwig | My cousin wanted me to make a base defense using power towers |
| 19:13.51 | timecat | and slightly more strategic |
| 19:14.11 | timecat | most of the stats i copied from pt though |
| 19:14.34 | merlinludwig | Good...i hadnt gotten that far yet. |
| 19:14.47 | timecat | like i told you, its nearly ready for a public release |
| 19:15.20 | merlinludwig | I'm excited to see it. I really miss power towers |
| 19:15.39 | timecat | haha yea it was a great td |
| 19:16.48 | merlinludwig | One encountered so many problems trying to replicate the transfer system. |
| 19:17.43 | merlinludwig | First off i tried using "create healer" effects...what a mess that was |
| 19:18.16 | timecat | oh yea, i used modify unit |
| 19:18.41 | merlinludwig | That was my second approach. |
| 19:19.59 | timecat | yea i'd really like to see your regen rate system |
| 19:20.03 | merlinludwig | I tried to stay true to strilancs concept of tower transfer limit rather than connection limit. By doing so i couldnt seem to get the energy transfered evenly between connections |
| 19:20.08 | timecat | cause that'd be much better than transferring a set amount |
| 19:20.27 | merlinludwig | I find its smoother |
| 19:20.43 | merlinludwig | Feels more natural |
| 19:21.22 | merlinludwig | In comes problem 2(or whatever number were on) |
| 19:21.39 | merlinludwig | The updating of transfers |
| 19:22.17 | merlinludwig | I tried multithreading the updater function and running it when a tower needs energy. |
| 19:22.34 | timecat | updating? |
| 19:22.40 | merlinludwig | Hit the instance limitation |
| 19:22.58 | timecat | i'm confused |
| 19:23.05 | merlinludwig | Tried unthreaded: stack overflow |
| 19:23.18 | timecat | updating of transfers? |
| 19:23.53 | merlinludwig | Beginning or ending transfers |
| 19:24.35 | merlinludwig | Update = Start transfer or stop transfer between 2 towere |
| 19:24.43 | timecat | ok |
| 19:24.56 | timecat | why not just use validators |
| 19:25.19 | timecat | add a dummy behavior that when on, changes the regen rate of the tower |
| 19:25.29 | timecat | then use validators to turn it off when a tower is full or empty |
| 19:26.29 | merlinludwig | Didnt get to that, i used the approach of: every .5 seconds cycle through towers on map and update transfers for each one |

| 19:26.55 | timecat | thats gonna bog down the map a lot... |
| 19:27.27 | merlinludwig | I know |
| 19:27.42 | merlinludwig | I couldnt figure out an alternative |
| 19:28.01 | merlinludwig | U seem a step ahead of me on that front |
| 19:28.19 | merlinludwig | (Hell, on every front lol) |
| 19:29.15 | merlinludwig | I never could figure out how to mix data editor stuff with trigger editor stuff |
| 19:29.41 | merlinludwig | Its like 2 seperate systems to me |
| 19:29.54 | timecat | ah |
| 19:30.33 | merlinludwig | Dummy behaviours kinda makes sense |
| 19:31.19 | timecat | right now i'm having a problem of multiple beams making the area a clusterfuck of light |
| 19:32.00 | merlinludwig | Yes |
| 19:32.16 | merlinludwig | I gave up on animations because of that |
| 19:32.23 | timecat | lol |
| 19:33.02 | merlinludwig | At the moment i use text tags |
| 19:33.46 | timecat | for what? |
| 19:33.49 | merlinludwig | Which bogs it down even more. So my approach: |
| 19:35.15 | merlinludwig | If u have a tower connected to 2 others...if that tower is selected, u will see the numbers on the connected towers of how much they r recieving from the selected one |
| 19:35.36 | timecat | ah |
| 19:35.40 | timecat | and actually |
| 19:35.45 | merlinludwig | Its more for debugging than anything |
| 19:35.45 | timecat | i think the beams aren't the problem |
| 19:35.52 | timecat | its the generator.on animation i'm using |
| 19:36.16 | timecat | i gave generators a ring of runes on the ground when its transferring |
| 19:36.22 | timecat | to show its transferring |
| 19:37.14 | merlinludwig | then take it out...the beams should show that its transfering |
| 19:37.28 | timecat | nah i'm gonna try changing the HDR on it |
| 19:37.41 | timecat | and it looks cool |
| 19:37.50 | merlinludwig | Lol |
| 19:39.19 | merlinludwig | So do u have transfer limits for the towers or just the individual connections? |
| 19:39.37 | timecat | just individual connections atm |
| 19:40.35 | merlinludwig | I tried the tower approach: transfer limit is 50, 2 towers hooked up, if 1 tower needs energy it gets 50, if both need they each get 25 |
| 19:42.20 | merlinludwig | Thats y i went with the cycle through towers approach, i needed to split the transfer limit between the connected towers that need energy |
| 19:42.48 | timecat | hmm there's gotta be a better way though |
| 19:43.28 | merlinludwig | Each connection is a quanta of the full limit, the sum of connection transfer amounts cant excede the limit. |
| 19:44.08 | timecat | what about using a validator or boolean isTransferring |
| 19:44.17 | merlinludwig | Hence, if recently begun teaching myself quantum mechanics in an effort to find an alternative solution |
| 19:44.25 | timecat | where if two towers have that returning true, it divides the regen rate in half |
| 19:44.53 | timecat | use a behavior that if its on, it regens less |
| 19:45.35 | merlinludwig | Well, i gotta get back to work, but we definately need to get together, sounds like u could help me out a lot, and i might be able to help u a little |
| 19:45.45 | timecat | yea |
| 19:45.49 | merlinludwig | Merge our approaches together :) |
| 19:45.54 | timecat | definitely |
| 19:46.07 | timecat | just a heads up though, my triggers are a complete mess |
| 19:46.27 | timecat | magic numbers everywhere and zero comments |
| 19:47.30 | merlinludwig | Mine aren't...like i said, i tried to set mine up as a plug and play transfer system. If we can get this working right, we just might be able to make a "power tower engine" to build power tower style maps on |
| 19:47.39 | timecat | yea |
| 19:49.11 | merlinludwig | Strilanc was the only one in WC3, if we can do this it would open the door for a whole new generation of maps. |
| 19:49.25 | timecat | yep |
| 19:50.06 | timecat | ah |
| 19:50.10 | timecat | i fixed the clusterfuck of light |
| 19:50.15 | timecat | it was the map's bloom threshold |

| 20:45.06 | merlinludwig | I just realized that the english language is missing a single word opposite to "greet" |
| 20:45.36 | JademusSreg | I disagree. |
| 20:45.54 | merlinludwig | Henceforth, "disgreet" and all derivitives such as "disgreeting" shall be part of my vocabulary |
| 20:46.40 | JademusSreg | "fuck-off" is sufficient to disgreet someone. |
| 20:46.45 | JademusSreg | =D |
| 20:47.23 | JademusSreg | See also: goodbye, farewell, depart. |
| 20:49.01 | merlinludwig | Farewell and goodbye require the word "bid" to become an action |
