  • [w8.1 x64] Missing textures.

    What type of video card do you have?
    I have heard of this issue on a laptop dual card setup, and it was not switching the graphics to the Radeon and was trying to process the game through the low power intel card.

  • Scripting reference?

    Did you see @King Genius's scripting example?
    If you look in the code there are some additional examples beyond just area protection in his code, and it gives a lot of the basic hooks.


    Otherwise there is a wiki in the works and that will probably have what you are looking for.

  • Some suggestions

    Previously Suggested, they are in the works.
    Currently there is a sandstone #3 tile that makes a good substitute for a thatch roofing

  • New Tools?

    From previous threads my understanding is that there is going to be a progression in the form of research or tool improvements that is going to be implemented so you have to work your way up from basic medieval tech all the way to modern.


    As to your suggestion, i would like to see the game follow a more realistic progression, as wooden picks and axes do not actually work.

    • Axe - Flint/Stone, Bronze, iron, steel giving way to saws and power tools
    • Pick - Wood shovel, bronze shovel/pick, iron shovel/pick, steel, followed by drills, explosives, and jackhammers
    • Same types of progression for all the tools, armor, and weapons.
    • Optional fantasy materials for additional material tiers to go with the monsters
    • I would prefer no diamond/gem stone armor or swords.

    The game has a long list of more fundamental features to be implemented yet, so it might be a while before we see what the Devs have in store for us regarding progression...

    I have seen games have problem with this dual video card setup. You need to figure out how to force Rising World to run on the Radeon instead of the intel chip. The automatic detection doesn't always work.

    Ich habe gesehen, Spiele haben Problem mit diesem Dual-Grafikkarte Setup. Sie müssen herausfinden, wie steigende Welt zwingen, auf der Radeon anstelle der Intel-Chip laufen. Die automatische Erkennung funktioniert nicht immer.

    Non-Craftable Resources
    Items needed for crafting that are not produced from raw resources. This is until additional base resources are added to the game.

    • Glass for construction/window frames - Free from Saw Table


    Creative Item Spawn    :
    NOTE: THESE COMMANDS CAN SPAWN INVALID OBJECTS THAT CAN CORRUPT YOUR GAME.
    This is why I didn't place this with the other command.
    Dev's recommend that you just spawn base resources and craft the items from there.

    I am sure there is a lot more that can be added to the list, and I will try to update this based on replies and updates.
    Enjoy Rising World!


    EDIT - Sorry Long time in updated, I have been off in other worlds and dealing with the real one.

  • Suggestions - Objects - Blocks - Balance - Tweaks

    You guys have been very responsive to suggestions so I know alot of them are being posted. I will try to be concise in my requests and keep it to a minimum.


    Tweaks:
    Rake/Sledgehammer
    Better cross over in mixed stone/dirt areas: sometime it is hard to get either one to work at these points
    Rake: Both right and left mode will prefer a slope to a level ground, especially near stone or cliffs. One mode should prefer flat over sloping up.
    Sledgehammer: Doesn't always flatten little peaks of stone, and is very annoying
    By the way, I love the texture change when using the sledgehammer, very nice!


    Wood grains
    Wood textures should all be oriented vertically on planks/boards/posts, This is because wood length in oriented in that directions, and technically makes the wood much weaker structurally. There is a nice heavy grain texture that is oriented the wrong way, and it bothers me. Maybe a rotation of texture option on blocks is needed for wall placement.


    Balance:
    Climbing
    I have mentioned this in a couple of my videos, but just to formalize the request around it.
    Reduce the angle at which a person can climb unassisted: right now there is no challenge to a mountain you simply walk up, and defensively there there is no advantage to using hills/mountains as refuges.
    Reduce climbing speed: I noticed that you track walking flat vs walking "vertical", players should be slowed down by at least half when going vertical, right now the up and down is free speed boost.
    Both of these will increase the challenge rating, and add more value for things like the rope lowering system, and climbing gear.


    Blocks:
    Roofing Materials
    We need some more standard roofing materials: Thatching/hay, wood shakes/shingles, asphalt shingles, clay roofing tiles


    Wood Blocks
    A couple more wood selections, with nice wood grain patterns.


    Block Tinting
    Somethings like wood/concrete/bricks, maybe these should be implemented as plain patterns then players are given a palette of "tints/colorations" based on the material. This would allow builders to make the materials match while being able to take advantage of the plethora of patterns you have implemented. There are times I wish certain patterns fit better with another one of a different color.


    Objects:
    Fires/Lights
    Fireplace(fire only) 1x2 and 1x1, Camp Fire 2x2, Bonfire 3x3, placeable modern light bar/strip


    Seating:
    Wooden chairs with arms, Bench, Long Bench, wall bench(attachable/extendable/wood textures) with corner wall bench, a Throne


    Misc:
    Longer Table options, Wall standards and tapestries, Flags and pennant, dressers

  • Project 5 - Western Fortifications

    Projects like this are never quite ever fully finished, but I drew the line. Otherwise I could have spent another two week expanding it.
    Well my frame rate suffered a bit as I increases the detailed view distance, but I hope that it doesn't detract from the overall experience.


    Enjoy:
