Heartwarming to see it in action

Ok, a bit more detail about this RunePanel
** Sorry if this should be posted in the Creative Corner - it's relevant and there are coding questions to follow**

Initially I had thought of redoing the runepanel, but for no real reason or necessity - so the idea was shelved

Unfortunately (I think) by creating custom Attack Panels -and growing quite attached to them and the cooldown bar-
I set in motion one hell of a detour. As I was drawing over the top of all of the vanilla attack panels, all the hard coded
jazz I took for granted wasnt even there anymore - well it was, just hidden underneath the result of my blundering gui
initiation. So, attack results needed re-implementation , combat plumbing rewritten etc etc ....And having to re implement
the gui and functioning for a custom runepanel become a distant but concerning issue (because I had no idea how to)

I was then inspired by .rhavin's custom runepanel, which introduced a new much larger rune selection, however,
still only allowed the player to select from 9 runes at a time (each time a rune is selected - the 9 runes available
for the next selection change). I had planned to use .rhavin's code and definitions as a template to create my
own runepanel (one which would not have shifting selections of runes taken from a larger pool). Im sure also,
.rhavins runes have had some immediate influence in the development of my runes, particularly the Balance rune.
Im unsure if .rhavin borrowed runes or ideas for them from elsewhere... or whether it they are purely original - but
I really admire the choices in designs - consistent style and (to me anyway), quite interesting

Keeping a consistent style (even if it was slightly un-grimrocky) was a main priority ..
So I looked to the trap_rune_dif texture from the log2 asset pack. The original runes
are inscribed along the transmutation circle's contour lines ... Along with a bunch of
other runes not seen anywhere else in the game (afaik)

SpoilerShow

In this image, the other unused but original runes are drawn from the rune trap texture

SpoilerShow

Basically, I didn't like them, their shape, style etc. (Wouldnt it have been easy to just include these
as they were to boost the number of runes to my satisfaction) .... they did, however, represent a
sound and intuitive place to start experimenting w designs

I began brainstorming rune ideas and making slight alterations to some well known classic runes
I kept my brain storm scribbling and have posted it below (as evidence of my own process)

SpoilerShow

Ultima Underworlds runic magic system has probably played a huge part in the shaping of the runepanel... I most certainly consulted my tattered original copies of the player guides & manuals as my first port of call for new rune ideas... I wanted to expand on the numbers of runes and possibly even change them around or alter their meaning or application. But obviously expanding to 24 runes, as UW1 & 2 had is just out of the question (for real time, pressure combat, 4 champs and limited space to work within ie attack panels). But I wanted to expand to more than 9 runes.

SpoilerShow

Eventually I decided upon:
1. A total number of runes / new runes (15 and 6, respsectively)
2. Their positions within the grid and,
3. Each position's corresponding force, law or element.

SpoilerShow

"FIRE", "HARM", "CHANGE", "PROTECT", "AIR",
"SPIRIT", "DEATH", "BALANCE", "LIFE", "BODY",
"EARTH", "MIND", "NEGATE", "TIME", "WATER"

And started the initial draft (chosen runes stacked in 3 rows / 5 columns as theyd appear in the runepanel I had in mind)

SpoilerShow

Minor changes were made to the Air, Water & Time runes, but the Negate rune (3rd row, 3rd across)
was tweaked by far the most (first version seen above, 2nd ....)

SpoilerShow

.... and the 3rd and final version is included in the most recent update....
Odly... despite my wanting to change the Fire rune to be slightly different from the original, I couldnt
seem to come up with a design I liked more than the original

I felt it looked better left as is ... but Im open to suggestion...

A(n almost) final draft of the 15 runes !!! (with some alternate art / colour variations)

SpoilerShow

The current final draft clearly shows Ive drawn (no pun intended) from the aforementioned influences, as starting points
Rune Trap 'other' Grimrock 2 runes:

....to be continued ....

Arkoma: what I was wondering. If your mod legacy of lies is out and is complete and your systems (characters, traits, spells, etc..) are complete. Are you going to share them with the community to use in their mods ?
And if so. Will they be easy to implement ?

Just curious, becouse I really, really like what I see. And I think it will make for a whole new gaming experiance for new and upcoming mods if you would share it with us.

Hey kelly1111

Sure, absolutely I will be sharing my work. Let me describe where the project is at....
It's definitely by no means near being 'out' or 'complete'

As a playable mod with actual levels and stuff - I have not even started building anything.
The dungeon I open in the editor is only just for testing new things myself and others have created.
So - As far as a playable mod like Labyrinth of Lies goes, im wont be publishing another any time soon

What I believe is a simple, fun and fast solution to this dilemma is I publish an assets file
Something that people can plug and play would be the goal in that case, however,
as to how flexible the asset file could be if you wanted only certain assets or systems and not others...

Im fairly certain due to type of customizations included, it is likely that the asset file will not be easily or painlessly dissected or repurposed. I could be wrong though, im saying this based on what I know about integrating mods together (which
really isnt a great deal), but this asset file will likely require the player to accept the way I have set everything up

Some good news at least, I have already integrated / assimilated into my files, all the community mods that I had
originally planned to use in a Legacy of Lies mod -and- have been building my systems and assets, for the most part,
harmoniously with other mods. For example, these are all the import calls taken from my init.lua
(pls excuse the excessive commenting & scroll definitions ):

-- mine pillars with crystals in them, the lindworm, the wizard, and, obviously, the standard healing_crystal_object itself.
-- Therefore, most mods will probably want to remove that line. healing_crystal.lua will then define a crystal that tries to imitate Grimrock 1 visuals, but is not quite as accurate as the version that replaces the "healing_crystal" material.
-- The biggest visual difference is that with the version that replaces the "healing_crystal" material, the shadeTexAngle will not move while the crystal is dormant. In the other version, it will continue moving.
-- Note: If you are using G1_OLD_CRYSTAL_MATERIAL, you must not import assets/materials/generic.lua after importing g1.lua, otherwise the standard material definition will just overwrite the custom one. Import it BEFORE healing_crystal.lua instead.
-- Alternatively, you could just not import the Grimrock 1 healing crystal at all, then you can delete the Healing_Crystal folder to save space. It's completely identical to the standard healing_crystal object except for its visuals.
G1_HEALING_CRYSTAL = false
G1_OLD_CRYSTAL_MATERIAL = false

And well yeah, shtuff be working fine. So I guess that is kinda good news really...
Perhaps my doomsaying and foreboding was made in haste?

Anways, It is likely I will require some help to get this messy beast across the finish line

Im going to have a skim over the files today so I can come back and give you an accurate idea of complete
or not the various assets / systems are....
Akroma

EDIT: Also, Id be quite happy to share the current copy of my files, should anyone wish.
I'll have to post a big 'enter at own risk' sign as it really is still a construction site
....but for the most part, the things in the test dungeon work
There is a lot of temporary, outdated and duplicated lua files though,
I would do what I could to tidy that side of things up first of course

Ok, here are the areas of mod work Ive done or at least begun
Their tasks are split into ESSENTIAL and CAN WAIT
I will give an explanation of what is still to be done to the area

Statistics Menu info display

SpoilerShow

ESSENTIAL
Item types (ammo, bomb, bare hand, caster, runeitem) need scripting support so correct info is displayed (and no crash)
Custom Statistic Functions - Finish get / set functions for custom stats (Charisma, Resist Arcane, Stamina)
CAN WAIT
Move race backgrounds to this menu
Draw hand items (faded) behind their respective info displays

Race Class Abilities

SpoilerShow

ESSENTIAL
A handful of the abilities gained through Racial Traits + Class are not finished yet -OR- were going
to be set up by in-game assets / trigger-scripts. Either way, it'd be nice if these were completed as priority

Container GUI

SpoilerShow

ESSENTIAL

Ive designed some new open container Item gui textures.
I have not begun coding for this, although I do have a good idea on how to

Trace, Trigger Monster Attack Framework

SpoilerShow

ESSENTIAL
Not necessary to reimplement entirely - just need to do some background scripting so that adding
features (eg counter striking) later will be easier and user friendly
CAN WAIT
Champion custom damage attack panel Gui fx (will adapt zimbers version to work my attack panels)

Runepanel

SpoilerShow

ESSENTIAL

FIX so that clicking either Close or Clear buttons does not also click the vanilla weapon set swap buttons (attached to the attack panels) Literally just had a breakthrough on how to do this v easily (and soon)

Icons

SpoilerShow

CAN WAIT
There are still icons to finish for many areas, at a rough guess:
~5 skills, ~ 30 to 50 traits, ~20 conditions

Quick Item Slots

SpoilerShow

ESSENTIAL
AndakRainor's work, just need to integrate into my attack panel spacing

Enchanter Sidebar

SpoilerShow

ESSENTIAL
Already mostly done, just minor changes to how active spell icons are drawn

Condition Gui Display (attack panel portrait)

SpoilerShow

ESSENTIAL
Pretty sure that's easy to script up but ..... Im still unsure or undecided on where to display the condition icons for conds a champion currently has

Locks Traps Menu

SpoilerShow

ESSENTIAL

Already have an outdated but semi functional locks and traps menu - but it needs a major redo.

Monster definitions

SpoilerShow

Add remaining monster definitions to combined monster roster (Im up to the letter 'T' I think)

akroma222 · Post by **akroma222** » Mon Aug 19, 2019 4:42 am

Hey All,
I will now finish up the rune panel explanation - and ....
.....I need ask anyone reading this - their opinion on potential solutions to a problem im having with :

SpoilerShow

mouse clicking through grimtk (my runepanel) windows / widgets >> mouse clicking vanilla game things (weapon swap buttons) that I definitely do not want pressed. Umm, if this is an easy thing and Ive just missed an obvious fix - pls correct me. Ive read into (but am still not totally comfy with) the code from grimtk's script files.... I had suspected for a while that I could do some fancy widgetStack manipulation - but vanilla buttons don't register when grimtk checks and builds the widgetStack (any widgets directly underneath the mouse cursor). I also noticed but blanked on some of the mouse methods / fields such as:
self.visitWidget = function(self, gContext, widget)
self.commit = function(self)
self.mouseFocus
Im not entirely sure how these things interact - if anyone has an explanation of this that a cat could understand, pls send it my way

So, re-worded, my question is:
Can we prevent the mouse clicking through grimtk windows & widgets (and activating vanilla buttons / menu stuff) ??

Early rune panel designs
Firstly, here are some designs I started out with....
Setting up where grimtk buttons would be placed

SpoilerShow

The first attempt and drawing all the pieces of the panel together...

SpoilerShow

And a slightly more cleaned up version.....

SpoilerShow

How it Functions
So finally, I came to this design and have kept it largely the same for some time

SpoilerShow

The rune panel can be opened via either 1) Runewand Item, or 2) Hand Caster (unarmed)

SpoilerShow

Upon opening, the rune panel is 'Activated' but no runes are selected ..... and the Cast button is a lifeless dull grey
(BTW - this rune panel uses LoG1 style of "click each rune" - NOT LoG2s new "click and drag" style)

SpoilerShow

Once you begin clicking on (selecting) runes, these runes are highlighted (see below) in a number of ways so to
easily indicate what the current state the runepanel is in.... (Activated, Selecting, Casting, Mouse Hovering etc)

1) Rune is NOT selected BUT mouse cursor is hovering above the rune button

SpoilerShow

2) If runes ARE selected BUT do not match the REQ runes for any spell that that champion could cast, the Cast button
begins to glow slightly (trying to cast when you have incorrect runes >> "Unknown Spell" attack result)

SpoilerShow

3) Rune IS selected AND mouse is hovering over the top of the rune button

SpoilerShow

similar to (1) but rune symbol is rendered with a dull greyscale

4) Runes ARE selected AND these runes are an exact match with REQ Runes for a spell the champion could cast, the Cast button glows more brightly, there is a different sound fx when clicking the button and the rune is highlighted differently (indicating the matching runes and therefore.. ready to cast). The spell to be cast's ICON is also drawn across and covers the champions portrait (only while the mouse cursor is inside that champions attack panel dimensions)

SpoilerShow

The Rune Panels themselves are a grimtk created, invisible skeleton (all borders and backgrounds are of width 0 or opacity 0).
It plays host to 15 + 3 push button widgets, (runes, clear, cast, close)

Rune Buttons can (currently) be triggered by BOTH the onPress AND onRelease hooks for the rune button widgets
Ive also recently considered allowing BOTH left and right mouse buttons - press and release - to trigger the buttons.
Ive allowed this in the hopes it will make navigating the "click each rune" style panel a little faster, maybe more fluid...
Ive prevented the player from selecting + de-selecting the same rune with a single stationary press & release (obviously

)

Interfacing the vanilla Spell Gestures with new RunesReqToCast tables drawn from a reimagined and expanded set of magical runes was very simple. I decided to define my spells the same way AndakRainor, for example, did with their custom spell package... ie; create a table that contains other tables containing all the function arguments needed for each separate spells' defineSpell call. This method allows the (sort of?) addition of custom fields / hooks which can be accessed later in-game
(It is here I too have added onPreCast & onPostCast hooks, just as AndakRainor has done)
Straight after importing the lua file (containing said table), then use the defineSpell call to define them
Within this custom definition, a spell's custom field; 'runes' is what is checked against a champion's selected runes table to see if they can Cast any spell
A spell's vanilla field 'gesture' is what is used to actually manually cast the spell from script (champ:castSpell(####)) so each spell must have both of these fields.

Ok, I will try to wrap this runepanel business up in this post
The diff coloured / styled button designs ive created are shown below
Starting with a simple grey wash, then darker...

Currently used

And here Ive grouped the lighter more vibrant + hot colours:

Currently used

And lastly the designs that were mostly rainbow / multicolour:

As you may have noticed in the demo video, Ive used 2 different rune button styles - which alternate, fading in and fading out.
One is a darker colour and the other a lighter colour. The rune symbols themselves also alternate in exactly the same fashion....
...and are matched to maximize contrast (ie darker button colour is matched together w the white coloured rune symbols)
Heheh I have no idea why Ive done this. Pretty sure there is no practical / functional reason at all

Then this grid frame overlay thingy goes on top

SpoilerShow

There are 3 other buttons included :
1) Cast Button
Attempts to cast the spell with the according rune combination
Clears any selected runes
Will Fizzle if champs selected runes do not match w any learned spell
Does nothing if no runes selected

2) Clear / Reset Button
RunePanel remains open + De-selects any and all runes that are currently Selected.
I figured this might be necessary given the added # of runes
I am considering just adding a diff Clear Rune effect (not a button, probably mouse click activated)

3) Close Button
Closes the runepanel down + clears any selected runes

Hi again!

1. I scraped together some more colour scheme ideas....

SpoilerShow

2. Rune panel issue with clicking through into the vanilla weapon swap buttons has been dealt with

SpoilerShow

At any one time, each champ will have either weapon set swap button 1 -or- weapon set swap button 2 active /visible
So Ive created two rune panels that load the close and cast buttons onto the wss button that isnt active/ visible
Unfort allowing room for either wss button means I had to remove the clear button... Clear / Reset button was bumped in
favour of a simple weapon swap work around.... I still want to include a reset all the runes feature, but I think I might make it activated by some mouse click / hold trick.... Any other suggestions on squeezing in the reset rune feature?

3. Cooldown bar now friendly and accurate for runeitems & handcasters

4. Here be a video demonstration of:
- latest runepanel changes
- custom weapon set swap system
- cooldown bar working w spellcasting & dualwielding

The Video demonstration is stunning. *thumbs up!

There are so many spells, no idea how the player can memorize them.

Thank you maneus!
The spell count (including vanilla spells) for Labyrinth was up around 120 ....
... and yes, definitely too many rune gestures to remember for the player.

Ive tried to collapse spells into one another in an effort to reduce the overall # of spells,
but also to make each spell more involved, interesting and (importantly) useful throughout the game
Im hoping to end up with total # of spells around ~ 60 - 70

Currently Ive only completed the 1st (of 5) level(s) of spells....

SpoilerShow

"fireburst", "enchanting_fire", "ignition_sphere", "flashflare",
"shock", "enchanting_air", "missile_shield", "feather_foot",
"poison_cloud", "enchanting_earth", "magic_armour", "stone_howl",
"ice_shards", "regeneration", "freeze_ward", "enchanting_water",
"bless", "darkburst","healing_light","illuminate", "shadow_veil",
"sleep_ward", "magic_arrow", "detect_monster", "spirit_lash",

and will be releasing this asset pack with just these 1st level spells
Subsequent levels will slowly taper off the # of spells for each magic Skill

SpoilerShow

lvl1&2 = 4 spells, lvl3&4 = 3 spells, lvl5 = 1-2 spells / per magic skill

Further - all spells are allocated to roughly 2 - 4 out of a possible 6 diff spellbooks
Spellbook (traits) are somewhat meaningful / flavoured groupings of spells

Code: Select all

Mage, Priest, Enchanter, Psionic, Alchemist, Shaman

A spellcaster must be learning (have the trait) from/of at least one spellbook to begin casting.
It is rarely possible to acquire another spellbook trait, rather a champs Class (and some racial traits) will usually determine
which spellbooks, if any, the champ will learn spells from.

SpoilerShow

Code: Select all

spellsBySpellbook = {
mage = {"fireburst","ignition_sphere","flashflare","enchanting_fire","ice_shards","shock","missile_shield","poison_cloud","magic_armour","magic_arrow","detect_monster","illuminate","darkburst"},	
priest = {"flashflare","freeze_ward","enchanting_water","regeneration","shock","feather_foot","missile_shield","enchanting_air","stone_howl","magic_armour","sleep_ward", "spirit_lash","illuminate","bless","healing_light" },
enchanter = {"enchanting_fire","ignition_sphere","enchanting_water","regeneration","feather_foot","missile_shield","enchanting_air","enchanting_earth","magic_armour","detect_monster","bless","illuminate","shadow_veil"},	
psionic = {"ignition_sphere","flashflare","regeneration","shock","feather_foot","stone_howl","magic_arrow","spirit_lash","sleep_ward","detect_monster", "bless", "illuminate","shadow_veil","darkburst","healing_light"},			
alchemist =	{"fireburst","flashflare","enchanting_fire","ignition_sphere","freeze_ward","ice_shards","regeneration","enchanting_water","poison_cloud","enchanting_earth","stone_howl","magic_armour","storm_forge","healing_light", "sleep_ward"},	
shaman = {"freeze_ward","ice_shards","shock","missile_shield","enchanting_air","poison_cloud","enchanting_earth","stone_howl","sleep_ward","magic_arrow","spirit_lash","detect_monster","shadow_veil","darkburst"}									
}

Additionally - the player must find the scroll to learn the spell first too.

So what I mean to say is.... I hear you + am going to make sure there
is no spell not worth remembering the runes for
