XNA Isometric Map Engine + Character Movement and Animation

Source? Will you share it?

[danielemessina]

@TheMasamura112 that has already been asked

[yourfavoritedemon]

what was the software u used

[yksnimus]

dude! tiles should mix with its surroundings

[wazabie]

really good guys!

What is your algorithm for determining what order to draw the tiles and characters? That's the problem I am having at the moment with my engine. When characters are near the edges of certain tiles, they are occluded by the next tile sometimes.

@2cups1noodle sorry friend, the source code as well as all the algorithms are sealed, this is a commercial project.

[TheReasonWhyGuy]

@2cups1noodle "for determining what order to draw the tiles"

That's easy...

The draw order is determined by the y axis of the tile, and the draw location is x,y+z where the z is how far from the base of the map the tile is.

This allows for object stacking.

source?

[CharlieFleed]

@tutlex money? XD No, I'm kidding. The source is not available.

[foulplay2]

@CharlieFleed Nice work on the isometric engine. Definitely my next project.

[sdtuu]

@CharlieFleed Did you use any tutorials to help you understand Isometric?If so maybe you could point these good people in the right direction?

[CharlieFleed]

@sdtuu No, I didn't. Just a few concepts of geometry.

[KrisTheKristoph]

Looks good. As a side note, the music is amazing.

Just got into the whole RPGXP scene.

Tryharding my own game, haven't started, still eating up all the knowledge.

This is very well done.

[DrunkenWaffle]

@ang3lb3low Pretty sure this isn't RPGXP. I recommend using an actual language instead of using a Maker.

[ang3lb3low]

@DrunkenWaffle This IS rpg maker Xp.

CharlieFleed makes most of his games using the program.

and yea, I agree with you but if someone knows Ruby why not use RPG xp?

you can change things via code aswell so they just make things simplified.

[DrunkenWaffle]

@ang3lb3low Please note the "XNA" at the top?

And languages, such as C++, are much more powerful and let you do what YOU want, not what the program can allow.
