Don't ask me why this does work
#code-talk
long raft
seems like it should not
i think you must have an await happening outside of this
so the task is yielded back, then awaited, then it parses it
so its basically not async
kind glacier
pretty much
long raft
its all still happening in 1 thread
kind glacier
A coroutine is like a function that has the ability to pause execution and return control to Unity but then to continue where it left off on the following frame.
kind glacier
Now I gotta get that api string out of the coroutine
long raft
what does your loop outside of that look like? where the await happens?
i woudl think you could just check the return type, if (x is Task<JSONNode>) ...
long raft
var results = ((Task<JSONNode>)StartCoroutine(Getstatic(BaseURL, Mapname)).Where(x=> x is Task<JSONNode>).First()).Result;
So the StartCoroutine is actually a function returning the same list of tasks
one of those tasks that gets sent back is a Task<JSONNode>
so you find the first one that matches that, then you cast it as a Task<JSONNode> and you query it's result
Not sure your familiarity with LINQ in that way (the .Where().First() stuff)
you could do it with a for loop, too...
kind glacier
coroutine doesn't do Where
long raft
ah it should if you include System.Linq;
kind glacier
I have
kind glacier
long raft
yah ...
so do a for loop then on it
.GetIterator()
then loop through the iterator until you find a Task<JSONNode> and get it's value
kind glacier
I need to get StaticInfo out of the coroutine so that I may use it in Thramoun's example
long raft
once you have the JSONNode you can convert it into your StaticInfo class, right?
or did it have to be a string?
kind glacier
the StaticInfo is the JSONNode
long raft
JSONNode result = null;
var e = StartCoroutine(...);
while(e.MoveNext())
if(e.Current is Task<JSONNode>)
result = ((Task<JSONNode>)e.Current).Result;
I'll give that a try
kind glacier
can't do a foreach
kind glacier
long raft
ok I changed my example - will it work with an enumerator loop?
kind glacier
doesn't have a MoveNext or Current
kind glacier
Coroutine doesn't
long raft
but it's an ienumerator. they have to. thats the interface
maybe it doesnt return that
kind glacier
Yeah, I saw that and promptly kept searching
long raft
I think he's basically doing the same thing, filtering the results and saving one
kind glacier
I think I might just have to do all of it inside the IEnumerator
Considering I'll have to do each and every static hex and dynamic hex seperately that's going to be difficult
So Thramoun's example returns null
fixed it
Now I gotta get it to read mapTextItems
all 41 of them
But I'll leave that for tomorrow
pure sierra
lol if he ends up making a better game than foxhole itself..... 
neat fossil
s
kind glacier
seems like it doesn't want to get mapTextItems
hm, ArrayList works
"Hey, this is an ArrayList"
Yes I know, now return to me what is in the ArrayList thanks
kind glacier
🤔
kind glacier
ehh
kind glacier
I can't seem to figure out how to single out any of the indexes
like "text" and the xy coordinates
kind glacier
Do you guys know where the origin is for these coordinates?
kind glacier
we have a winner
stone void
Now go send them shirts
kind glacier
lol
kind glacier
tfw it suddenly throws up 45 errors about wrong brackets and cutting and pasting back in fixes it
kind glacier
this took a while
as you can see I've played so little on Deadlands in recent memory I didn't realize I had it flipped around
@stone void You were right about dictionaries
it worked
barren quarry
Congrats
stone void
Congrats, I thought I was a detriment
kind glacier
Aight, so I gotta find a way to either rename all the icons or add a list where it can look up the name
probably better to just rename them
lol
map icon is called "Civic Center" but no civic centers in the list
kind glacier
guess I'll skip that one
still got a few that don't quite fit
I suppose the hammer is refinery instead of manufacturing plant
still missing safe house, scorched town, seaport, and townhall
townhall I assume isn't used anymore, and neither is seaport
kind glacier
Oh, it'll probably come back to bite me in the ass, sure
pure sierra
with those indexes i can just use the icon name the way they are
if you need a batch format changer, i use a plugin for gimp that works well
kind glacier
I can probably write a list for it to look through
right now though I'm trying to get images to work
grr
kind glacier
TGA
pure sierra
do you know that tga works ? that might be the problem
try as jpg first, its more compatible then step up to a format with transparency
pure sierra
you will have to do some offset work
kind glacier
ye
pure sierra
as the point of origin that the coords use might be different to your engine
kind glacier
Nah, looks like they're in the right places
Lots of trial and error to get them there
pure sierra
you said the labels are off
kind glacier
Like I said, I haven't played Deadlands in a long time
I just double checked the wiki
they're in the right places
...again
kind glacier
better?
kind glacier
all I did was move them down on top of the map image and make them smaller
but the point is that they should be readable from a distance
pure sierra
arent they fixed te the same level as the map
kind glacier
I'll probably figure out how to make them scale in size depending on distance from the camera
arent they fixed te the same level as the map
not really
pure sierra
if they at the same height as the map there should not be a parrallax? effect depending on angle
put them at same level as map
kind glacier
I can't seem to figure out why they like to disappear at certain camera angles
kind glacier
even though the labels are well above the map
the map still makes them disappear
"I changed something and that fixed it"
- Software Development
but yes it no longer disappears
kind glacier
@pure sierra this sprite issue took me 3-4 hours to fix but I'm going to bed finally
pure sierra
cool
long raft
"trial and error" shouldnt be applicable here
your icons should pop up, obv, but that looks incredibly cool
i feel like im on the final fantasy 3 world map
god please matt find it in your heart to give us the height maps!
kind glacier
"trial and error" shouldnt be applicable here
Well, no one told me how a certain function worked. I was trying to access the images from a folder, but then I finally found out it has to be in a folder called "Resources" and only about half an hour after that did I find out that the path to the images folder starts in Resources
As for the trial the and error with the label placements, that's mostly because no one would tell me what the origin of the api coordinates are
By now I'm thinking the origin of the original coordinates is actually one of the corners
pure sierra
its something like that
not the center like you might think
thats why i mentioned the origin issue earier
long raft
@kind glacier here's my dictionary of map offsets based on which region: https://gist.github.com/NoUDerp/e4e823fece000d3b07270f3abc123674
to make a global point from a region-local one
slightly confusing if you arent familiar with like c# 7 but ... you can kind of figure it out
kind glacier
that's the offset for the hexes?
kind glacier
ah, thanks
long raft
o.Item1 = x
o.Item2 = y
barren quarry
Ah I'd recognize that code anywhere
Because for some reason I named region height "k"
kind glacier
Haven't managed the icon sprites yet
Apparently I'm lacking a few icons
suppose I'll just have to color them instead
color doesn't seem to match
much too dark
fixed it
@long raft What's "template"?
100 errors nice 👌
long raft
template i think is a single region map size
kind glacier
3 times in like 6 seconds?
I get the list of maps and then use those map names to access the list of static items and the list of dynamic items
pure sierra
I think kastow was doing every 3 seconds, i only do once a minute, but im not sure if theres a limit
kind glacier
I think I can throw in a wait of 3 seconds see if that works
pure sierra
so 3 different url in 6 sec or the same url
kind glacier
1 time the map list
then the static and dynamic list for each map
sooo
a lot?
pure sierra
well that should be fine, i think we all just rapid fire all the different map name requests one after the other with no delay
pure sierra
have u successfully done those map names before ? are you just getting them from the maplist url?
kind glacier
I get them from there
I think I gotta do it more linearly
ooh boy, he does not like that
I froze it 👌
need to toss in some async
oof for a sec there I thought I lost my work
pure sierra
you need version control, set up git
kind glacier
I think the problem is that the get request is supposed to be async, but the code keeps on going while it waits for the request to catch up
but it needs the return from the request in order to do the rest
the way I'm trying to get it to work is
get list of maps -> make map 1 -> get static for map 1 -> make static -> get dynamic for map 2 -> make dynamic -> make map 2 -> repeat
instead it makes all the maps and only then tries to get static
kind glacier
trying to trim the double quotes off a string, but it just refuses to remove the one at the start of the string
hmm
doing string.remove(0) removes the entire string
kind glacier
fixed it
I've now got all maps on top of each other
now I need the names and icons
long raft
i know youre rubber ducking your way through this code but nobody can help if they cant see the source causing problems
long raft
nobody gets mad at us here
this is safe place for programmers
but non-programmers better watch their backs 
pure sierra
its our little sanctuary away from the madness of fod
barren quarry
i can afford to request the data every 3 seconds because i dont pull all of the data every time
i compare etags
which means most of the requests get aborted because i check that its the same data
sacred rivet
Any collies want to test out a Foxhole Management System soon?
Privately message me if you would like access.
void marlin
Any Wardens interrested in the same shit message me.
So sad that globalHQ is now split in the camps... @sacred rivet
sacred rivet
Indeed. Tbh this should be a based game instead of the stupid social score.
void marlin
so why do you do it?
sacred rivet
We need a software to run.
void marlin
I thought you guys have one running for weeks?
sacred rivet
globalHQ is no longer worked on i have no idea why so we developed our own verison excel sheet now doing a progrmam
long raft
because it was shut down
pure sierra
F
kind glacier
@pure sierra any idea why bannerwatch is all the way out there?
pure sierra
what map is that
kind glacier
Weathered Expanse
pure sierra
yeah same for me, it must be a mistake their end , ill make a ticket for it
kind glacier
Westgate has it too
pure sierra
long raft
is bannerwatch back?!
funny i dont see any error on logiwaze
🤔 not sure why its been so durable
here's my town's list
kind glacier
I seem to be having this unique issue where I've got one of the images showing the map behind another map image yet still being rendered on top
long raft
just have to scale them by 1/256
all the coords are already globalized i guess
but bannerwatch shouldnt even be a town anymore 
isnt that old AF?
kind glacier
endless shore on the right is higher than drowned vale on the left
by all accounts endless shore should be obscuring drowned vale
but it's the other way around
long raft
i think ....your math ... might be the culprit
kind glacier
?
long raft
the maps dont overlay
barren quarry
this is the wrong layout
kind glacier
I know, I haven't gotten to that part yet
barren quarry
it should be to the top right
long raft
i am legit curious how bannerwatch got back in there
anyone want the road definitions?
barren quarry
kind glacier
aaah, so that's how it works
barren quarry
yeah thats definitely out of bounds
long raft
maybe i just ignored minor marker types
kind glacier
if I put endless at the bottom it renders on top of everyone else, but if I put it at the top everyone else renders over endless
long raft
it shouldnt matter the rendering order - because none of them will be overlapping
kind glacier
TIL
barren quarry
Derp is right, they shouldn't overlay
as long as you correctly cut the regions into hexagons
long raft
frankly i'm surprised youre using the individual region maps
barren quarry
and put them next to each other
kind glacier
No, you're right but this does explain why the icons keep obscuring the map labels
long raft
barren quarry
@long raft if you put them all together its like 32 MB or something
kind glacier
because I do the icons last and they thus render over the labels when they shouldn't
long raft
shut up baby i know it 
Quite a consideration really... load a huge texture and hope the user doesnt run out of vram?
32mb aint that much
kind glacier
need to figure out how to rearrange the hierarchy so that the labels are last
barren quarry
32 MB is CBT for a website user
long raft
use webp, its like 8mb
i mean rescaling that image in a browser is CBT
thats why everybody uses leaflet
8.5mb tho for no loss
barren quarry
What exactly is webp?
long raft
is an image format (supported by all major browsers) that uses the video codec vp8 to encode the image
it supports an alpha channel and a lossless encoding format
barren quarry
how much space does it save compared to png
long raft
so all the benefit of png but about 1/3 the size - downsides might be rendering support
or rendering speed, i dont think its as fast as png
but its what i used on logiwaze for the leaflet map
its definitely less than half the size of a 32 bit png
i mean youre seeing it. that map went from 14.8mb to 8.5 (i realize thats not less than half)
anyway i would think you could save yourself a lot of effort by loading the whole world map as a single image, timberwolf
barren quarry
@long raft on first load of logiwaze all types of tiles render on top of each other
long raft
the satellite map is 2x the size. oof
weird - no idea how thats possible. i use the full image
long raft
oh i see the different layers
yah i feel like the downside to webp is that the browsers open it - sure, but like regular image editors dont, you have to convert to png to work with it and then back
but it has good browser support
barren quarry
interesting
long raft
it also supports animated images, like a gif basically, but thats not great support
probably better to use webm in that case
barren quarry
i see no use of animated images for us map nerds
long raft
agreed, but i would opt for a webp animated image instead of gif on a web page - its smaller, and you wont have to sacrifice colors or alpha bit depth
royal glade
What i really want is for the game to have a local api from which we can get the players location
kind glacier
damn, it took me a while to get the icons to draw only once per map
went from 5800 icons to 790
imagine the chaos
long raft
can you stand them up like billboards?
kind glacier
@long raft like this?
kind glacier
I can, but it ain't pretty. One sec.
long raft
It should look awesome
kind glacier
long raft
yep! except they have aspect ratio issues
also billboards should always face the camera perpendicularly
it might help to draw a line from them to the map to show where they place, but i personally think it looks good
im imagining it with only town halls, and i think its great
kind glacier
right now though the next step is moving each map to its respective location
kind glacier
to my knowledge the coordinate system and icon list is per hex
long raft
yah you will have to move the icons, sure. but not the map
kind glacier
also I've got no combined version of all the hexes
long raft
i am just imagining loading all those images separately, its a lot of wasted memory space (eveywhere their squares would overlap)
i just pasted it, scroll up
well i pasted skaj's map and the satellite map
kind glacier
only see the satellite map
long raft
boy that doesnt seem like the right size
its not
here's the clapfoot version of the map, all combined
That's from August 3rd
kind glacier
then I'd have to figure out how to convert each hex's local coordinates to mapwide coordinates
long raft
yea i shared offsets with you already
that dictionary has the offset coordinates for each region
just adjust the x/y by the matching value in that little table
kastow figured out all those offsets
barren quarry
🙂
long raft
and now i use them to stitch the map together 🙂
barren quarry
Its the holy grail of war api
kind glacier
did they make changes since they uploaded the hex images?
long raft
my eyes roll back into my head when i start googling hex geometry
i think the images they upload to the war api are only half the resolution i provided
barren quarry
1024x888
long raft
hmm maybe not
barren quarry
Sat maps are twice as big
long raft
so, the satellite images are raw images stored in the assets. they are 4x the resolution as the API ones
and skaj processed them and made his version of the map which is also 4x the detail
i just call it the skajmap
kind glacier
hm
long raft
he read up on their map processing technique and duplicated it with his own color variations to make it easier to see
and the satellite map has weird orange roads all over it now
the real holy grail would be the height maps, kastow 😦
barren quarry
Yes
kind glacier
right now it does each Hex seperately. I could probably get it all to draw on the same map image
long raft
its going to take longer to download and load for users in separate maps
it will be 23x as many triangles to render
and you may see seams between them
floating point rounding errors...
kind glacier
your big map has jagged edges
long raft
eh?
long raft
its large... image apps dont handle it well, imagine the 4x larger one
but games often use large textures like that, so i think it should work
what's the hot texture image format people use now? is it still dds? 
you are going to want to at least use mipmapping on this, if not anisotrophic
which means you need to generate the mip-map texture
i feel like unity can do that automatically
kind glacier
now you've lost me
long raft
oh really? this is like 1990s rendering tech
if you sample a very large image in certain circumstances, like youre zoomed out, or at a nearly 90 degree angle it will ruin a texture
kind glacier
I've heard of it, don't remember what it does and certainly don't know how to use it
long raft
so you generate that same texture as a lower resolution using high quality resampling
all the way until you have n layers and its down to 1x1 pixel
this is what leaflet is doing for the web-based version for us
so unity can do this for you, and then it will be using so called tri-linear filtering, and it will look good
if you plan to look at the map very near to the table, almost a parallel angle, you would need to use anisotropic texture filtering to have it look good
mip mapping will do what you need tho - and its very easy, but it will use more texture memory
kind glacier
this, I presume
long raft
yes!
But also you would need to pick a max size equal or greater to the image i think
or maybe settle on like 4096 or something
i mean it's large, and its rectangular...
and of course dxt5 compression will be very helpful
seems like it would be worth matching a power of 4 to get that
so the texture, and it's resampled layers all get stored in a texture file together, and compressed
kind glacier
set it to 4096 and the warning is gone
long raft
oh jeez its 11264x9756 holy crap
i find the map looks blurry when zoomed WAY in even at that resolution - i doubled it with an AI image enhancer at some point
I think this might be that version, im not sure
it's freakin huge
kind glacier
long raft
i would probably consider resizing to uhh ... 12288x8192, god thats huge
kind glacier
even here it has the jagged edges
long raft
ah it cuts off part, so it would have to be scaled at least a little bit
oh man thats just like ... what their map looks like
i suspect the reason for that is because their height map only has 255 intervals
kind glacier
long raft
and the difference between above water and under water is 1/255
oh.
well damn. maybe its the AI enhanced version
lemme see if i can dig up... or re-stitch it
i dunno, skaj's map kind of jagged too
i mean if you upscale something with bilinear filtering youre gonna get blurry and smooth, seems plausible
I guess it was that first one i posted that i deleted doh
i should have learned my lessons about ai enhance on grom8k
@kind glacier
barren quarry
not webp
long raft
do you want it in webp?
barren quarry
No
barren quarry
the colors are far less rich in webp
barren quarry
its like it lost even more color
barren quarry
or am i going insane
long raft
guess ill have to open the both in paint.net and difference them
i see ... differences on the seams, i wonder if those are alpha channels
paint.net shows no differences 🤔
i suspect its just discord rendering webp differently than png but im not sure
kind glacier
I just noticed that the upscaled map is noticably different from this one
long raft
holy c rap
you are right thats way different i should make sure i have the newest github ones
long raft
i think the upscaled one was old
ok just stitched this fresh from the github @kind glacier
its slightly larger...
kind glacier
aight, thanks
long raft
That's actually pretty nice looking, I wonder what changed, it's like they rendered stuff more clearly
kind glacier
🎉
now I gotta get them to their respective places
they're currently still placed as though the image they're on is their respective Hex
long raft
yah i mean you have to divide them by the individual region size, which i think its 1/5.5 of the total map width
and then you have to offset them by the size in that lookup table
it would be great if the api were more unified, but i have seen the evolution of it so i understand why it is how it is
happy to at least have an api
kind glacier
It'll likely all be in unity's measurements
long raft
i remember it being a time consuming process
kind glacier
in the meantime I tackled the icons no disappearing problem
long raft
i wonder how much it would cost to get those icons 3d modeled
and it would be like monopoly pieces
kind glacier
of course this is the ideal endgoal

@umbral mulch I just found it

But yes
it would be cool if it could look like that
had one of those several months back
@pure sierra I spent like an hour trying to find the real location it was sent from

its like when you see a call coming from your own phone number, hayden 🦇

long raft
hmm
kind glacier
Now we gotta ask Julian for the one without the logo
Derp, could you tell me what the item1 and item2 mean?
o.Item2 is a mystery to me
I think I got it
kind glacier
so far the dictionary is not working
kind glacier
I'll see what I can do. right now I'm going to bed
I've been at it for 6 straight hours now
royal glade
The devs might be interested in giving you 3d assets for the markers/icons. Would be hella cool.
long raft
item2 is ... either X or Y im not sure which
its possible X and Y are reversed, but what you are seeing is an anonymous struct, and if I dont name the properties they just default to Item1 and Item2
it should have been (x: k + ...., y: k + ...) and then it would be obvious they are .x and .y properties
all you need is a map that says map name -> (x, y)
i dunno if those new tuples exist in c# 6
long raft
see? it's ugly for all of us
barren quarry
The only variable you need to set here is the map width
And the coordinates of the center
kind glacier
Anyone know how many icons there are in total?
I'm getting a few errors drawing them and want to check if I dropped those or whether it fixed itself
my total is 784
across all currently accessible maps in the api
kind glacier
got the dictionary to work... mostly
coral sundial
Convert it to a globe
frozen oriole
But muh flat earth
It would be hard to navigate if it was in globe shape, and the maps would be distorded
coral sundial
Less if yoh place it on the equator and make it fairly big
frozen oriole
Most of the globe would be empty then
coral sundial
As is, because that's all we know about the world of foxhole
kind glacier
Why a globe tho
kind glacier
You can't put map pieces on a globe
kind glacier
Oh wait, timberwolf could slap the extended map behind if he wants
I suppose that's the idea, to make it look bigger
coral sundial
Unless its life sized with gravity n all
kind glacier
if you scroll up you can see the Foxhole version of that picture
royal glade
There's ways around that, you could just have small magnetic piece or pins that you stick into the globe.
The only requirement is that the size of the pieces is small conpared to the curvature of the globe.
You could get away with larger but wont look nice.
Not that you're looking to make a globe, but just replying to the above points.
kind glacier
the hatchet on sketchfab 👀
long raft
but you dont really want a model with thousands of polygons
also those are old models, the vehicles in game have all changed
stone void
You couldn't take a picture, stretch it over a sphere, and distort it over the gaps?
long raft
the opposite actually
kind glacier
true
coral sundial
You could also do a rimworld
Hexagon a planet with one wierdagon somewhere in it
Or cut it off somewhere
long raft
you really want a globe huh
coral sundial
No i am just throwing out ideas
pure sierra
@long raft so derp if you can think of good way to integrate world map like your logiwaze i might do it, i want to keep the current front end, but when you click the map for zoom in leaflet it has say your whole world logiwayz instead.
long raft
huh?
pure sierra
well currently you click on my overview map, and get a one server leaflet. but id be happy for that to be whole world
long raft
so like ... normal leaflet, but you cant zoom on it until you click
so clicking it enables/disables zoom
it would be the same thing, then, right?
you're already using leaflet for the main display, right? so just make it so if you click the map anywhere it enables zoom
and you could uhh alpha channel the overlay maybe a little lighter
pure sierra
leaflet in a lightbox
long raft
well the hex overlay and the control colors overlay can both just be leaflet layers
might be worth adding the labels and icons in leaflet
oh and something im really happy about with logiwaze - the icons scale with zoom, but logarithmically
long raft
so when you zoom out the town halls dont cover everything
theres no ... disadvantage to loading the leaflet map
pure sierra
anyway its not needed, the current way i have it is good and works
i just want world on click rather that one map
long raft
I dunno use the full world map then
pure sierra
this way im not changing the whole site, it can be loaded say from your server where you maintain it
long raft
Do you need the tiles?
pure sierra
well one would. but im saying youve made it already and have it working, i just need to put it in a iframe lightbox
long raft
hmm there would definitely have to be some redesign for that
pure sierra
and make it so it focus on the sector they click on, i can pass you the click area
long raft
mainly the API is called from the javascript, and your website wouldnt need those extra queries on the client side
you already have the map status
and the route calculation can take a couple seconds on loading, too
actually im not sure the timing, i know on my phone it does. lol
pure sierra
but the route calc would only kick in if someone used it, otherwise its just a sethfire map
long raft
i mean if you want the sethfire map its just the leaflet with base image and icons, right?
pure sierra
yes
long raft
so the only difference you need is the global map instead of a single region, right?
pure sierra
yes, but im happy for it to have the logiwaze function as well

oh man, its ... so integrated
most of the code is here: https://github.com/NoUDerp/foxhole-router/blob/master/src/IRouter.js
but i had to sloppily put a bunch of javascript into the index.html
i just havent refactored it all out, i suppose if it was then it could just be a nodejs thing thats compiled to a simple js file, but its a lot of work
and i really hate javascript. my work in js is so slow
🤔 im putting WASM leaflet on my list of things to program if i get bored
remake it in web assembly... itd be nice
oh someone already did it
long raft
yah but the roads ... the roads are like 80% of this
pure sierra
yeah i know, you can toggle them off
long raft
i suppose i could actually
and all of the leaflet code would be in the index.html
perhaps i could just extract the minimal code to load a leaflet map for foxhole, i dunno
pure sierra
just make the js so it is functions that are not run at load, but on request. you can add stuff to the map after load
if needed
long raft
hmm the routing can be somewhat complicated, running in javascript, can feel like it lags
it's O(n²) and theres a few thousand points
dunno how easy it would be to turn on and off on the fly, not sure
pure sierra
isnt everything js?
long raft
yah
pure sierra
so thats fine
long raft
Yah, just don't know how easy any of it is, I don't have a lot of free time for code lately and I got pretty sloppy on that project
pure sierra
its fine, lets sit on it

@void marlin posted this:
I try to reimplement the globalHQ Server... Some more strange things:
Iteam "26" from the DeadLandsHex api has this data:
[ "teamId" => "COLONIALS" "iconType" => 7 "x" => 0.42195216 "y" => 0.4821111 "flags" => 41 ]
the flags of 41 are : 00101001
how do they map:
IsVictoryBase (0x01) IsHomeBase (0x02) // Removed in v0.29 IsBuildSite (0x04) IsScorched (0x10) v0.22 IsTownClaimed (0x20) v0.26
whats with 0x08 ?
this would be a VictoryTown,????,ClaimedTown
Other thing:
The number of digits for the MapItems and MapTextItems seems to be differing between the objects. is there some know limit of digits?
void marlin
@fluid trench thank you!
@pure sierra this should have been my resonse of you linking my github ticket.
pure sierra
@fluid trench 0x08 is secret flag, we dont speak of that flag
to get out the flag you want you use the id as a mask
so 00101001 & 0x10 = if scorched or not
0x10 = 10000 (binary) so 5th digit is the one of significance
00101001 = is victory, secret, and claimed
fluid trench
@void marlin ^
pure sierra
when i say secret, its not really now but was kinda, back when we had forts and they had an optional watch tower upgrade, this indicated that, it was never meant to be in api due to intel leak, but like most new features they wind up in their inadvertantly regardless
such it was never documented

@long raft Here's your stink.
https://youtu.be/GWcjXVTX9EU
I tried getting the ceiling lights to cast light and dark on it, but that just screws over a lot more than it adds so I abandoned that attempt.
kind glacier
It's decent, it depends on what you want. I can image several players interacting with the map simultaneously that way
long raft
ceiling lights ... maybe too broad, like ambient lighting
what about little spotlights around the rim?
like people do with those small lights on their back yards
or a bankers lamp
the panning looks good tho
kind glacier
tbh lighting and props would be last on the list
long raft
the map perspective seems odd... is it square?
kind glacier
?
long raft
might just be FOV
kind glacier
it's about 70 in the video, tho I might've scrolled out further
It's not square on, if that's what you mean
long raft
no i mean the map looks ... stretched
kind glacier
long raft
hm ok, so its the FOV tricking me then
kind glacier
would need to find a balance between fov, angle, and altitude
kind glacier
I slapped it together in about an hour, so I'm afraid not
long raft
well i think it came out well
kind glacier
I tried head-on, but that would defeat the appeal of any 3d elements I might want on the map
@long raft 
long raft
oooh
kind glacier
I remembered I had those from a free asset pack
long raft
i bet you can get the icons for these things modeled on fiver
the icons are pretty simple
i look at them and think meh i could model that
kind glacier
I've seen a little 3d modelling talent in the community so they could probably slap together a primitive if they tried
something that vaguely looks like a hatchet and all that
apparently they were still floating a little, so now they should be flush with the map
Now I'm off ta bed

I wonder, does the spawn of the building lower when you zoom in?
Or will you have to grasp the top of the screen?
kind glacier
It doesn't show (purposefully), but it's kinda scuffed atm. It should spawn at the mouse position and immediately be draggable, but it isn't. So yes, instead it spawns at a fixed height rn.

grid or no grid?
pure sierra
i think you want grid and coords system that matches the game
kind glacier
I need to figure out what that looks like
and I can't have it be different for each hex either
pure sierra
why would it be different ?
pure sierra
ah i see now
i checked in game, there isnt really a world grid system
they never worked that out
just kept it per region
coral sundial
Arent they identical per region?
pure sierra
they are identical, but it starts left edge, and by right edge its about half a grid
so you cant align them
kind glacier
and I bet the map on the right side doesn't start with half a grid
kind glacier
I can make mine smaller tho to roughly coincide
pure sierra
you could generate a grid per map
kind glacier
gotta check ingame, but preallocating the update takes forever
Not really, it's one big map
pure sierra
and just crop it to each
kind glacier
you'd have mismatched grids all over
pure sierra
you could generate it it as a layer with the region boundaries and grid like
kind glacier
again, mismatched grids
pure sierra
no, the grid can be per map
kind glacier
?
coral sundial
Mismatched grids ist terrible
You could makenit look like several individual maps "tied together "
kind glacier
in queue for deadlands 👌
coral sundial
No i mean, individual maps laying on the table. Roughly connecting together
With a military aesthetic
kind glacier
that would mean going back to the individual hexes and I wouldn't have a background map to make it look like a square
coral sundial
You could have a zoom out global overly
Or a war room with a big map on the wall.
And instead of pieces on the table. Its pins on a wall
Get dyno'd son
pure sierra
for nuttin
coral sundial
You could have a zoom out global overly
Or zoom into the individual Maps ;)
kind glacier
That was the original plan, but then that got shelved for what I've got now
kind glacier
I can't have it all
Sure, I could do that and have the grid per hex, but it would still look ugly as sin
pure sierra
not if its cropped to each hex
then put the legend along the center lines
but for now its not really a priority
kind glacier
I'll admit I'm getting a little burnt out now that the cool features are mostly working to some degree
kind glacier
have to take it slower

Pleb here, long time reader, first time caller. How hard would it be to make a 3x3 row x column slot machine
Let's say 5 symbols, do collie logi truck, collie luv, collie lt, collie bt, and a train emoji as the free spin, 5% chance to get 5 free spins.
I'm calling it "off the rails" as a tribute to Leks obsession with foxhole trains to feed his ego even more than they are doing in anvil chat
Instead of tokens or coins, you bet with bmats
pure sierra
on what platform? waybe just web ?@potent panther
potent panther
Yeah web
I'm programming tarded but I'm asking if it's a ton of work. A foxhole slot machine would be funny tho
coral sundial
not that hard. its a simple project in C if you ask me.
but then you need to know how to write C 😂
anyway. you could have double array[3][3] and seed it randomly.
if the array lines up horizontally in the middle you win
ding ding ding
coral sundial
webasm or something 😛

major overkill lol
coral sundial
cant you compile C for web anyway?

Not too far from the truth of prototypes.

why does this topic exist in the foxhole discord?
just general code talk or is there a foxhole API?
(im new to game)

Clapfoot has an API called War-API, accessible here: https://github.com/clapfoot/warapi#map-icons
This channel is just in general for code discussion, as there's a fair amount of programmers in the community.
frigid rock
was just looking at that, the endpoint links there seem to be down? 🤔
lunar cobalt
They should be working, you'd have to ask Derp or some of the others exactly how to call them though.
frigid rock
Oh I think I got it 👍
Are there any specific foxhole-related projects been worked on or collaborated on here?

@frigid rock it varies
floral spruce
How can I match dynamic icon data to static location names? Right now im matching off whatever X/Y is closest, that isn't perfect though as the icon and the name are at different X/Y values.
Just wondering if there is a better way then "if they are close together thats probably a match."
barren quarry
@floral spruce Yeah thats pretty much how everything operates
no other way exists
Well, you can also filter out minor labels at the start because if its a base its a major label
but with these array sizes it doesnt make much of a difference to a modern cpu
floral spruce
Ya thats what i do, just.. one name that a little too far left and it can mess everything up -_-
barren quarry
As long as you're using only major labels you should be fine
because the game applies exactly the same algorithm
floral spruce
Ya its not a computing concern its a margin of error concern. Especially if i want to add in minor icons.
Well, it will work i guess.
void marlin
I am working on a Backend wrapper to bind names and Icons to a "object Model" and add History about a war to it.
If it is live, I will post a link here. Maybe somebody wants to use it :)
frigid rock
backend wrapper gud
kind glacier
👀
pure sierra
doesnt matter if major or minol
"if they are close together thats probably a match." - yup
royal glade
They should just give the icons on the map additional X,Y vars that describe their label's location...
Would be so much easier.
Then the non-icon labels could have their own separate list.
Don't see how not doing that saves them any data/time since its the same amount of info either way...
I think that is actually worth raising as an issue.
It's been a long time since I looked at the data format for this stuff, can anyone post a snippet here?
pure sierra
that the api returns ?
royal glade
woops, its right above I see it. Yea
pure sierra
dont think about it all too logically, thats not how it was done
royal glade
Fair enough, but it is a worth while change to nest the label x,y with the icon itself.
pure sierra
but how do you link the icon to the label ?
by seeing which label has the same coords as referenced in the icon ?
see i think the reason it is the way it is is that in the game the icons and labels are 2 different data/object types and they arent even connected in anyway in the game itself either.....
royal glade
{
"teamID": None
"iconType":23,
"x": 0.3123
"y": 231123
"flags": 0
"xlabel": 0.3123
"ylabel": 0.451
"labeltext": "TownA"
}
And it's all linked.
and straight forward. Now if there was a reason to not do that, I'd be happy to learn
No guess work and no need to approx/match x,y in the first place.
pure sierra
or just merge them both, there is no reason to not just have one big list of labels and icons,
royal glade
I'm guessing only reason they're separate is because the icon type / faction flag updates but names never change
so they're saving on that.
royal glade
Yea, I get that, but splitting them like this makes it so weird 😦
Didn't know it made that big a difference for networking. Then again I'm no network engineer/dev
pure sierra
well it does make sense to minimise data transferred especially if it doesnt change
royal glade
could just request only the IDs that have changed and update only those ids maybe
lunar cobalt
You still have to check if the ID has changed
So the separations means they're checking less things
royal glade
Then the static list with the labels should just have a ID entries that correspond to the IDs on the dynamic icons.
That way # ids checked never changes on their end. And since the IDs are in static they won't add to update overhead
lunar cobalt
Then that'd be doing the same thing as checking a separate list
royal glade
don't follow. Isn't it an improvement in that there is no longer any ambiguity with X,Y when labels are close to each other?

Yea kastow adding to what icanari says: think of it as photoshop layers which you can toggle on/off at any time. Except they're doing this with their structure placement for each map.
void marlin
Maybe not Photoshop layers.
I think of it as Presets. For a given Location X you have several arrangements. An arrangement consists of Building's and potentially Roads/Trees/Rocks/(Bridges?) That can be activated with a single klick.
Think of the map as a WoW Character. Every Town/Base/(general part of the map) is a Slot in the loadout.
Changing the Layers is like equiping something different in the equipment slots.
To have something to equip, they still have to build the Layers. But now they have a inventory, and don't have to throw away the equipment they had.

Am i assuming right that the boarder bases are regarded not public buildings? cant get them from the API as it seems.

Ye, the maps previously not in use aren't mentioned in the code, so it just defaults to 0,0

You can probably set the object default in the definition of the class, though at best that’ll let you hide the ones not in use.
