Bi-Weekly Update 4/17 - More crafting Love
Crafting Milestone Hit: Functioning Experimenting. As you can see from the video, the framework of virtually all crafting functions is finished.
So-- here's a new video demonstrating how crafting is progressing. It should be live on TC very soon. Give Kyle, Ritter and Link a pat on the back once again for doing such an awesome job on crafting!

Crafting: As far as crafting goes, this leaves us closer to a live implementation. What is left is a lot of data entry for the rest of the schematics, and some refinement of the crafting code to make adding all the new objects smooth. Also, as you can probably see, equations need to be tweaked still, and are not in a finished state, so if anyone is very familiar with those equations, wants to help test (May involve tedious stuff) come and join #CraftingTesting. A special thanks to all those who have participated in my little projects in #CraftingTesting, it really has help me speed up the process. You guys are the best! Heightmaps: This is an area that is holding us back in the area of NPC movement and structure placement at the moment. We know a number of ways to implement this, but are searching for an efficient alternative to the methods we already know. Currently, we will be able to generate a huge file with all the z values for every x/y coordinate pair, but the problem we have is being able to manage all that data in a sensible way (save memory, fast request time etc). Educated idea's on how to manage huge heightmaps are welcome. So this week we'll have some more information from Ramsey concerning Heightmap development, and possibly several more tiny updates will be edited in to this post. Stay tuned!!
