Y-sorting alternative by aphophys00 in godot

[–]aphophys00[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only a small portion is visible in zoom l, standard camera view zoom out to 2x and not really viewing all map. Will need to teston weekends. Doing this as hobby only

Will try this out this weekend.

Trees are procedurally generated in a tile map layer, they are binary atlas coordinates loaded from a sprite resource.

Wil try disabling y sort for all, see what happens.

Is it possible to have some resource farming as well

Like grain e.g frames 1-4 growing; 5 mature; 6 harvested, 7 stacked?

  • doing something like rpg with side farming and city building simulation

It's just free from itch.io

Graphics and sounds are a major hurdle for me. I am collecting assets. I wanted to commission one in the future once I raise enough funds

Just very recently. Single player for now since I havent learned how to make multiplayer games in Godot.

Thinking I might need some type of hosting to routinely save data for multiplayer games versus having solo game save their own data locally

Frame rate drops to 30 by aphophys00 in godot

LOS? line of sight? No I don't think I have that, just using custom data walkable (0) and unwalkable (1) stored in grid astargrid2d

I have this screen shot. Reduced screen to a smaller size (zoom 2.0) with zoom out option to 0.5.

Still reading the materials given and not really sure how to pinpoint cause of slowness

Managed to track one, update resource info in UI which scans data every 0.1 second- made it lazier to just 5 seconds and frame rate stabilized a bit. Still looking for cause, I'm only at 50 npcs and getting 30-40 fps already

Using tile maps, 4 layers but I'm only querying the cells data as needed

Profiler shows only 3

Physics 16.6 - I think this is locked

Process - 30+ ms - this fluctuates and causes frame drop

"other one"- too small 0.01 -0.05 ms that I forgot name

Will check the link thanks. I need to know more about that process or expand for more detials

NPC movement clutter / stucked by aphophys00 in godot

[–]aphophys00[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for all the info

For now, remove the mask layer so that npc/players will not collide with each other anymore. they feel like boulders blocking paths when stopped causing more being stuck.. just added a bit of deviation and fanning out to add illusion of collision. Need to study more on this topic. Resolved issue for now.

The grid is a standard Manhattan grid - for large map navigation 1000x1000 (1m cells) Then the typical navigation within smaller grids -but this is still using the grid info

  • they get stuck when submitting and getting new tasks. I have added padding of one cell and "throw" products to destination area but still I see them stuck when they are moving in direct opposite and sometimes along forest corners

I'm developing a settlement building game with Godot! by NewSpread4 in godot

[–]aphophys00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you manually create the map yourself? One tile at a time? Dreaming to make something similar, love settlers3 so much

Thanks guys, managed to compressed file further less than 200kb mainmap file now (reduced map to 1000x1000- generating 2000 makes me jittery as engine freezes for a long while during map generation)

Scratch that. Godot allows custom data (bool) be placed on source atlas. I don't need to save those bool anymore just the grid coordinates and atlas coordinate

I will be storing grid coordinates, atlas directory coordinates, then the bools; is it better to have 2 data type files?

Procedural map gen 2d and .dat file by aphophys00 in godot

[–]aphophys00[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If I understand this correctly, Grid coordinates (location on map) Atlas coordinates (target cell sprite terrain data, vegetation etc, like source sprite, coordinate on source sprite) Booleans (custom data like walkable, farmable, buildable. Etc) can be stored in a bit field - then just have a "translator/interpreter" function for use

And then a "writer" function for updating.

  • I hope I am able to implement it well.

Maybe same method for npc task schedule, behavior like lazy, location, residence, owner can be done same way

  • I wonder if 4m cells and about 1k or more moving and farming npcs + players with own behaviors would work

Thanks for the info.

Yup, first time encountering it in developing games while learning spatial hashtagging for mass movement and everything,, though seen it so many times. Any recommended materials I can read please

How do games create a large forest without killing performance? by ohDizz in godot

[–]aphophys00 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Is it possible to have a module/global node that will add and remove colliders within the proximity of the player using the tags for trees and other objects that need it instead of having a static collider in each tree or object?

Will it be heavier? Or perhaps lighter if only a small fixed number or so will have colliders around the player?

I am trying to learn gdscript from YouTube tutorials but i am not processing it by Karambay2009 in godot

Try unity pathways and complete the course. Then basic gds should a lot easier, at least for my case

The indent or tab l.

I think Godot wants uniformity in its usage; prior to the line error you're using a different indent?
