Developer Journal: Pon

Posted 1 decade ago Lua Scripter
Hello. I'm Pon, a recent addition to the Dev team. I think they must have been desperate for Lua scripters, and I was better than nothing I guess :P

I figured I should do a journal, but I don't really know what to write. I mean, Lua, and programming in general isn't that interesting to most people. But, meh. I could say a few words about myself, my experience, and so forth, but I'd prefer people keep reading and not fall asleep :)

Maybe next journal.


So, inane rambling over, we come to the meat of all journals, and the only bit 99% of people reading this will care about - some info on what I've been working on:

Epicenter fixes - The three captures per round system has been fixed, and there will also be HUD icons to indicate the aforementioned captures. Should make it a lot easier to understand whats going on, hopefully.

ff_harbor - As Nezumi mentioned in his jernal, I'm working on the base Lua for that. Not much more to say other than what Nezumi already mentioned, aside from it'll hopefully be good gameplay, as well as a good looking map (which Nezumi's always are).

I'm also making another base Lua for a new map by one of the Devs. Can't really say much at this stage I guess, but I'm sure it'll have a positive impact on FF when it's ready.


Aside from that official FF work, it seems I've become a mapper's bitch of late, with Ihmhi and =AS=zE both pestering me night and day to make their maps work properly :P. Still, their maps should be worth it. At least in terms of the Lua :)

Also, I have a few concepts of my own that I'm planning to start on. Quadflag (posted in the official concepts thread) is one I've started on, and hope to finish a concept map soon. I'll also likely create a concept map for =AS=zE's Last Team Standing lua, seeing as his port of Agoraz was withdrawn. For both I'll release the source .vmf alongside, so that people can both make a decent map from it, and hopefully learn a little bit about Lua as well.


And thats it. Hope you managed to stay awake :)
