Scattered Evil Developer Reference

Adding NPCs

There are two distinct “entitites”: a map thing, aka Actor, which uses sprites, walks and fights, and secondly a “person” – a conventional entity that defines the conversation (latter was added by me).

Adding a new thing

How to add new thing. There are two problems: register new class for the engine, and register new type in the DB.
Actor classes are registered by adding them to /koraxrpg/basepak.pk3/actors/ (also just /koraxrpg/actors/ – because engine checks both pk3 and subfolders). These text files are read at engine startup. Their format is called DECORATE, and is thoroughly explained in ZDoom wiki: http://zdoom.org/wiki/DECORATE

Let’s do a simple sample thing. Open /koraxrpg/basepak.pk3/actors/krpg/townfolk.txt and find this line:

 actor NPCTownFellow1 : NPCStrifePeasant 19003

This is an actor declaration. It makes a type “NPCTownFellow1” inherit all properties of base type NPCStrifePeasant (which defines all the animations). 19003 is map thing id.

Make a copy of the whole block of text:

actor NPCTownFellow2 : NPCStrifePeasant 19010
{
           ConversationID 4
           Scale 1.20
}

Now you have NPCTownFellow2 thing of map Id = 19010 and with Conversation id = 4.

If you do not like to keep same sprites as for basic peasant, you shall replace them in a way similar to how it is done for NPCStrifePeasant. What you will see in its declaration is a classic state-machine: there is a number of actor states (names are quite self-explanatory) each having number of actions. See http://zdoom.org/wiki/Actor_states

For example:

Spawn:
         PEAS A 10 A_Look2
         Loop

This runs when actor is spawned on map. “PEAS” is first 4 letters of sprite name, next follow sprite frame (“A”), third is frame’s delay (in 1/40 second IIRC). Finally it is an AI function to call (“A_Look2”). There are a lot of available AI functions, but that takes time to learn, so you may just copy these from existing actors and monsters.
If you want several frames to play in order with identical delay, you may write this:

 PEAS ABCDE 10 A_Look2

This way 5 frames (A to E) will play one after another. A_Look2 ai function will be called on EVERY frame. If you want it be called only on the first frame, split this sequence in two:

 PEAS A 10 A_Look2
 PEAS BCDE 10 A_Look2

“Loop” command means loop this state commands forever (actually – until state changes). “Goto” command means switch to another state.

If all you want is just use different sprite group, simply replace PEAS names with something else. For instance, replacing them with BISH will make new actor have Dark Bishop’s sprites.
Just be careful: the sprite set you are using should at least have all the same frames (BISHA.., BISHB.., etc), or the game will crash.

Adding a new conversation

Go to koraxrpg/data.pk3/ and find coninfo.txt. This is the base conversation script. I’d recommend not to put actual conversations there and use it only to import other files, like:

 import town1

this will use town1.txt for conversations.

There should be example of conversation I added for shopkeeper. It has this header:

 conitem NPCShoppeAttendant 100, ShoppeAttendantMain 0

First goes official “person” name and its Id. It is this Id that is assigned in the Actor’s declaration (ConversationID). Then goes conversation item script name and its related Id. You may have unlimited number of conv.items per person and switch between them in game by using SetActiveConItem(person_id, conitem_id) command in map script.

Mapping Guidelines

Dungeon map location guidelines

This goes for both new maps created from scratch as well as for existing maps being reworked for Scattered Evil.

A dungeon that the player accesses from the travel map (the world) is at the location shown in the world. This means that if the player enters a dungeon in the middle of the desert (e.g. the Nisisil hub), the outdoor areas of the dungeon need to look it – there should be sand and very little if any vegetation around. This goes for all further outdoor areas of the map as well, not just right at the entrance.

As long as the player crosses to the next map of a dungeon hub through a door, tunnel or similar, i.e. the next dungeon map is obviously in the same world location, the same restrictions apply to all outdoor areas.

If the player crosses a magic portal to enter another dungeon map, the outdoor restrictions are lifted, since the magic portal could lead to a place nearby, a place at the other end of the continent or even to a place in another dimension.

There is one notable exception. If a dungeon map of a hub that the player reached through a magic portal has a normal entrance/exit connection to a world location, then this map’s outdoor areas need to conform to that location.

Theoretical example:

  • The first map of a hub is accessed from the desert on the world map. That means the outdoors areas of the first dungeon map need to be covered with yellow sand.
  • The second map of the hub is reached through a simple wooden door from the first map. That means the player is still in the same desert area, thus the outdoors areas are covered with yellow sand.
  • The third map of the hub is reached by a magic portal from the second map, so there are no restrictions.
  • The fourth map of the hub is reached through another magic portal from the first map, however it also exits into the forest far to the west. The outdoor areas of the fourth map have to look like the player is in the middle of a dense forest.

Dungeon map RPG Complexity design guidelines

For the RPG setting „Off“, the hub (or single map) should allow the player to quickly reach the exit/end boss/important area.

On the setting „Standard“, there should be a few obstacles that force the player to explore more of the map/hub before.

On the setting „Old School“, map flow should be designed in a way that the player is forced to explore all areas and kill most monsters to collect the keys or other items to unlock doors.

Example:

The map has a starting room from which three corridors lead to other areas of the map. Two of them lead to large further parts with many rooms and monsters. In these areas, three different keys are placed, one of them easily attainable, the rest between cascading closed doors around the map.

The third corridor leads to the final area of the map. On the setting „Off“, this corridor is passable from the start. On the setting „Standard“, there is a closed door in the middle, requiring the easy to attain key. On the setting „Old School“, there is a different closed door in that corridor, requiring the fourth key that can only be attained by first getting the other three keys and unlocking doors.

Non-combat map design guidelines

Leave enough space in all areas where there will be a lot of NPCs, otherwise the player will have great difficulties getting through.

Since there are no monsters, there is no need for closed doors. As polyobject doors don’t work well together with 3D architecture, it’s best to forfeit animated doors in non-combat maps. Just create sectors for open doors at different angles.

Use visual tricks to make the settlements look much bigger than the actual accessible part.

Texture (and flat) naming guidelines

4 letters describe the type of texture, two digits give it a serial number, one letter designates a subvariation of the texture and one character is saved for special cases. Except for the 8th character, all other characters are obligatory.

Examples:

  • CITY02A is the 2nd city texture’s first (basic) variation.
  • CHUR03D is the 3rd church texture’s 4th variation.

For an example how this works: CITY13A is the basic wall texture using the big green stones. CITY13B is the same texture with a window on it. CITY13C is the same texture with a door on it.

As a general rule, wall textures are using the serial numbers 01-70 and floors start at 71 (going up to 99), e.g. CITY13A would be a wall texture, CITY73A would be a floor. An exception is made for textures clearly meant as floor covering (e.g. ROAD*): here the numbering starts at 01.

Code

About the new script compiler

In the Korax Arena and Korax RPG TCs new action specials are introduced. All of them have identifier values greater than 255 to ensure none of them duplicate common ones from Vavoom. Unfortunately the original script compiler (ACC) stores action special as single byte, which does not allow to use those with identifier >255. We solved this problem by modifying ACC. New ACC stores action special in two bytes instead, so action specials can have identifier values up to 65535.

If you are not going to use new action specials in your map(s) you may still use original ACC, otherwise you’ll have to get new ACC. Currently it is included in the Korax Arena Editing package (available for download from our SourceForge account).

Source Code Compilation Process

Prerequisites for Compiling the Source Code

Before compiling the Source Code pack, you need to obtain the following:

TortoiseSVN

You can get it from http://tortoisesvn.net/downloads.

Download and install TortoiseSVN.

When you finish installing TortoiseSVN, please restart your computer.

Latest Vavoom SVN Revision Binary

It can be found on DRD Team’s site http://svn.drdteam.org/vavoom/.

Download the “LATEST” revision from there and write down where you have downloaded it, we’ll unzip it later in the process.

Obtaining the Source Code

You can get the file from https://sourceforge.net/projects/korax/files/ (koraxrpg_src.zip).

Once you have downloaded the file, you can Unzip inside a folder in your HD.

Compilation Process

Now, you will need to download most of the resource files from our SVN repository using TortoiseSVN, to do this you will have to left click on the ”’koraxrpg”’ folder inside the ”’code”’ folder and from the contextual menu choose the ””’SVN Update””’ option, this will display a window where you will see all the missing files being downloaded, once that’s finished, go inside the ”’progs”’ directory and run the ”’compile.bat”’ file, it might take a while to build everything, but once that finishes, you will find everything correctly compiled inside the ”’bin”’ folder of the distribution.

Finally, just unzip the Vavoom SVN revision binaries to the ”’bin”’ folder of the source code distribution pack.

And this covers the compilation process of the source code distribution pack.

Committing changes to the SVN Repository

This information is more related to the developers of the project, if you make any changes to the source files, the overlays on the folders will change from green color to red color (on the modified files), to submit these modified files, you must have a SourceForge.net account and be listed as a developer of the project in the project’s page in SourceForge.net, if you don’t have any of these and you really need them, ask Ramborc or Firebrand for help.

If you have an account in SourceForge.net, you might right click on the ”’koraxrpg”’ folder inside the ”’code”’ folder of the source distribution pack, and then select the ”’SVN Commit…”’ option on the contextual menu from TortoiseSVN, it will then ask for your username and passwords, use the same username and password from SourceForge.net and it should work fine.

Compiling for and running on Linux

According to Borsuk:

It’s enough to download the binary windows package, and copy the “koraxrpg” folder into vavoom folder (on Debian Squeeze default vavoom folder is /usr/local/share/vavoom, assuming you performed “make install” after compilation). Then run the game with

 vavoom -game koraxrpg -iwaddir /where/your/WAD/files/are

No need to add -opengl, it will default to it.

Spells:

  • Kinetic Shield
  • Golden Storm
  • Summon Bishops
  • Mirror Image

Unlike the Dark Cardinal, this ominous creature is not just an upgrade, but rather a boss of its kind. It has two types of common attacks, including fast white projectiles with high homing ability and arcs of small golden missiles shot in waves. The spell Kinetic Shield protects him from most ranged weapons (except for a few extremely fast ones and those with a special attack style); the spell Golden Storm summons a continuous rain of golden drops following his enemy; he has an ability to conjure 1-3 Dark Bishops or Cardinals; and the spell Mirror Image summons 1-3 illusionary clones of the Dark Cardinal that cannot cast spells but can use all standard attacks.

And last but not least, he has a chance to resurrect after death…

  • Missile Damage: ?
  • Possible drops: Red Mana

Special:

  • Must stay in lava

Liquid fire flows inside these creatures’ veins and hardest hide covers their body, allowing them to endure the heat of lava, where they tend to live. In most they are similar to ordinary stalkers if not their reddish colour and ability to shoot fire projectiles like afrits do.

Undead Creatures

Reiver

  • ThingID: 34
  • Health: 150
  • Speed: 11
  • Melee Damage: ?
  • Missile Damage: ?
  • Possible drops: Banishment Device

Abilities:

  • Flying

Although they retain only half of their bodies, these undead creatures have lost none of their powers. They fly through the air with hypnotic grace, but don’t just sit there and watch or they’ll pelt you with devastating fireballs.

Specter

  • ThingID: 16011
  • Health: 900
  • Speed: 11
  • Possible drops: Potion of Wisdom

Abilities:

  • Flying
  • No clipping; passes through solid objects (walls, floor, etc)
  • No “monster cross line” activation
  • Each attack has a chance to cast Terror on the target

Not only bigger and stronger than a regular Reiver, the Specter can also cast a Terror Spell on you, making you cower in fear, throwing down your weapon and covering your eyes. Not even fleeing to another part of a dungeon will let you gather your wits in peace, as it will follow you through walls and closed doors.

Ghost

  • ThingID: 16022
  • Health: 105
  • Speed: 50
  • Melee Damage: 2-16

Abilities:

  • Flying
  • No clipping; passes through solid objects (walls, floor, etc)
  • No “monster cross line” activation
  • Extrasense (Senses enemy even without seeing him)
  • Each attack has a chance to cast Confusion on the target

The Ghost is not a powerful enemy, but it has a high annoyance factor. It is very fast and posseses an amazing ability to fly through walls (literally!) and once disturbed will pursue the player everywhere he goes. You can never feel safe if there are ghosts around, and you rarely can guess which direction they will come from.

Elemental Creatures

Lava Dweller

  • ThingID: 16004
  • Health: 3000
  • Speed: 0
  • Missile Damage: ?

Lava Dwellers are golems, created by magic. They look like a large, roughly cut obsidian head with fiery streaks all around them. Unable to move around, they usually hide underground or in lava, ready to emerge as soon as an enemy comes into their sight (or rather range of sense). They then attack him or her, spitting powerful fireballs from their mouths. When heavily damaged, Lava Dwellers may submerge temporarily to restore their health. Several Dwellers placed in right positions may act as a heavy defence system, so wannabe heroes should watch out.

Chilling Mist

  • ThingID: 16005

It looks like just like small clouds of steam or mist rising from the ice, but when entering its cloud breathing becomes difficult and you soon turn to ice.

Poison Mist

  • ThingID: 16006

It looks just like ordinary mist floating above the murky waters of a swamp – until you step into it and choke to death.
