Q-Gears Custom Story (Everyone can participate!) [Data heavy thread]
Tom:
We would like to create a small custom story for the Q-gears project that we could distribute along with the engine so the user can get a feeling for what it can do already. This shouldn't be longer than 20-30 minutes and should have plenty of action like field module puzzles like the mayor's library puzzle or push the button together puzzles.
This kind of project requires field models, backgrounds, scripts and a storyline. This means that you don't have to know C++ to help.
This is a collection of what we have so far of assets
Warning: Data heavy
Outdoor water scene
Elevator car scene (new version)
Elevator car scene (old version)
A power company logo (used in place of the shinra logo)
Midgar city outside scenes:
Midgar slums outside scenes:
Our very own debug room (startmap)
Reactor bridge from character's point of view
Reactor bridge (new and updated) from original and intended camera view
A random dining table scene (not found in game)
KnifeTheSky77:
Care to post some basic examples or documentation on how to write scripts? I know that it's lua but I wouldn't know where to look to find specific °7/q/hotdog-gears functions.
Edit:
Is this the repo where the project is stored? https://github.com/paulsapps/7-Gears
I'll fork it and poke around but the latest build in this repo looks a little dusty and a little not build-able?
Tom:
Regular github repo for Q-gears/Q-gears because 7-gears seems to be going nowhere for now. Poke around the wiki and check out Q-gears/data repo for some examples. Look at data/maps/ffvii/field/
Sega Chief:
Can scripts/models be made for Q-Gears using Makou/Kimera, or does it need something else? Because a short joint/community project could be fun.
Tom:
The models can be edited with Kimera (That is how I edit them :) ) Once edited in Kimera the game converter converts them into OGRE 3D friendly meshes.
The scripts can be made/edited with any text editor or LUA IDE you like, their format is below and their file name ends in .lua
