[CF-Devel] unix iso client

[Michael Toennies]

Ok here is the deal.

I had not coded a iso unix test client yet, but its simple

All what you have to do is to load this zip

     
     http://mids.student.utwente.nl/~michtoen/isodata.zip
     
     

This includes data to setup dx client and unix client for iso.

For the dx client simply copy all this stuff in a dx client installation
of v 1.20 client (make a backup forst, silly).

In the map folder is the HallOfSelection and a test1 map. Ifyou had access
to a server,
copy this in the map folder over the original HallOfSelection (backup,
silly!).

Now start and create a new char... viola.

For the unix client, one must change the map coding.

The map has a different space, so you must handle with the map windows.

You must include the gfx folder tiles so, that they overrule the server send
tiles.

In the system folder is a background is use (original from David Gervais),
but you
don't must use this yet.

Change the map printing core of the unix client to this!

#define MAX_MAP_XLEN 11
#define MAX_MAP_YLEN 11

#define MAP_TILE_OFFSET_Y 27

#define MAP_XSTART 373
#define MAP_YSTART 283

for(z=y=0;y<MAX_MAP_YLEN;y++)
{
	for(x=0;x<MAX_MAP_YLEN;x++,z++)
	{
		// This calc you the right diamond shape positions
		// MAP_X/YSTART are for the DG iso screen skin, change it when needed
		xpos = MAP_XSTART+x*26-y*26;
		ypos = MAP_YSTART+x*13+y*13;

		ylen = <Get_Length_of_Sprite>; // You must get the Y-length of the sprite
you blt

		// this is the easy but tricky part: you use the left bottom edge as blt
anchor
		if(ylen > MAP_TILE_OFFSET_Y)
			ypos -= ylen-MAP_TILE_OFFSET_Y;

		<BLT THE SPRITE>
	}
}

Thats all. No other changes yet.

enjoy
