Omni-Mad – News

Didn’t get a lot of work done since the GDC, so here is the (short) list:

- Added building via lace to two projects. Looks promising, but still has some kinks to work out.
- Did some input routing cleanups.
- Did some work on the slider/scrollbar element.
- Remove libfake dependency from font converter. Should work under “all” platforms now.

Blockers and Stuff:

- Up and down is seriously messed up and costs alot of time when building/creating UI stuff.

Game Developer Conference 2009 Europe in Cologne is over.
Met some old friends and made some new ones.

The whole thing was pretty exhausting.
Listening to presentations, panels and keynotes forthe whole day,
networking during the breaks and “partying” all night.

Actually I skipped the Gameforge party on monday,
but made more than up for it at the Crytek party on tuesday.

All Gamefolks are crazy.
And I like it.
Even some weird “sunny delight” stories

Overall it was quite a success.
Many good new contacts.
Even more good ideas.
New ones for stuff to try and to use
and some solutions that might solve current problems.

Not much work on the framework or UI this week.
I was just too tired.

I almost forgot.
We’ll start using lace-build as a build system.
It’s based on the same system that we are using already,
but looks like one generation further, so it’ll save some time.

Good night.
I’ll keep you posted.

The filechooser dialog is actually working:

OSX:

The filesystem is nicely abstracted, so we can also browse pak files or networked stuff.

Linux:
No box here right now, but it should still be working.

Windows:
98% there. Steffen only has to port 3 or 4 files.

iPhone:
Should be alright, but I’m still on the replacement notebook

Next step:
Make the slider work

The work of the last nights has paid off and the UI System is starting to shape up.

Linux:

OSX:

iPhone:
Should work, but my MacBook is still being repaired.

Windows:
Steffen will start this weekend to do the Windows port.
We already have a running Win32 lib so this looks promising.

The fonts look a little dim, but that’s only due to using the COLOR of the pixel to blend with the background.
The converter doesn’t support ALPHA yet.
Should be a five minute fix, but I don’t care enough right now.

So far we have been using MediaWiki for our internal documentation,
but now we have an external artist who needs access to some areas of the Wiki
(Artguides and the specific project he’s working on).
Naturally he’s not allowed to see our other projects.

Per page ACLs are a mess with MediaWiki, which is understandable sinc Wikis are usually as open as possible.

Se we started looking into new solutions.
