s'the first chance ive had to continue work on vampira. not sure if i'll keep the sprite characters or move to 3d
this shot shows that the camera is now moveable
trying to decide if the game should have static cameras, or have them follow the character chase style, or planar style like the original
what do you guys think?

Do your transparent textures cast properly formed shadows? If so, I bet that looks neat.
I've never liked fully moving cameras much in an environment like that. They can work, but they rarely work *right* unless the environment has proper roofs and such.

also, i put together a beta if you guys wouldnt mind giving me some feedback
http://syn9.thingie.net/download/game_build.rar
it shows this room with one door active
arrow keys move, S/F/Q/T rotate camera
if you hit F1, you can assign keys to a joystick/gamepad
i've got mine setup right now for dual analog, one to move, the other to rotate the camera
how does this work for you guys? do you find any bugs?
thanks

Any chance you could commit the changes to the SF CVS repository so I can plug in this data and run it in Linux? Screenshot looks great.

Hmm I didn't think you'd need cygwin to use CVS. In any case, you could also give TortoiseCVS a try if you'd like something that integrates with the explorer more than a command line tool.

You can always make a local copy before trying to merge the changes made to the repository...
Anyway, I'll try this tomorrow, and see if I can merge it with the repository, too.

SourceForge's CVS did that to me too. It fucked up a bunch of my source files.
SourceForge CVS sucks. :(

Cool, cool. Reminds me heavily of Vagrant Story... what with the texturing and design and all. That's a good thing :)

I don't see how SF CVS would suck any more than CVS itself does. That aside, CVS doesn't "fuck up" your source files. Note that Syn9 wasn't blaming CVS, but his own inexperience with the system. CVS helps a great deal in resolving conflicts created when multiple people edit the same code, but as with everything, you have to know how to use it.
Anyway, Syn9, I took your code and ran "cvs update" on it. This created quite some conflicts as was to be expected with 1. the massive amount of changes you made and 2. the fact that you made these changes on out of date files. Please always try to keep your own files up to date as well as the online ones, or CVS becomes troublesome to use.
As all of the conflicts were between changes I made and changes you made, I could vaguely recognize what I had changed over half a year ago. As such I did a best effort in merging the conflicting cases by hand. When I got it to compile, it ran pretty smooth and didn't have a problem displaying your nice staircase demo.
Your changes are now committed to CVS, but while I resolved the conflicts during the merge, when you do a local "cvs update" you will still get many of the same conflicts because of your local changes. Hence, here's the little piece of up to date repository without the conflicts: src.tar.gz. Please still keep a backup of what you've got now, in case it turns out I've done something wrong.

Hmm. That reminds me. I need to update Gia's SVN tonight. It's been awhile.

No, in this case, SourceForge CVS magically created conflicts in a repository that only I have commit access to, and when I did an update to resolve the 'conflicts' it randomly mangled my existing source files by inserting merge conflicts into them. However, the merge conflicts were simply the new source I was committing versus the old source.

So you must have encountered a bug then. In principle, conflicts never occur inside the repository but only client side.
