Extension Ideas

I am porting some of the past EDT ideas and unfinished extensions to this forum. The range and scope of the ideas are worth noting for future potentials. No sense in have to rethink them.

Some of these ideas may have been publshed already. Some may still be in progress by their authors. Some were abandoned and/or the source was lost. We have had a significant transition with the new forum and MMF2's release, so it is time to start anew.

Also, this list is not meant to be inclusive. I may have missed some, and there may be some redundancy.

NOTE: I am having further discussions about the EDT and its future with the CT Staff. I just wanted to give a heads up that, hopefully, we can do something new and exciting here to keep the energy high, spirits up, and ideas and extensions flowing. I beg your patience as we gear-up after the launch.

I may have a go at a different Fog of War object using the new substractive ink effect. <img src="/center/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Joypad object with the support of all buttons, all axis', digital and analogue readings and force feedback (like in Jamagic) all in one place.

Control object for platform movement (a big wish) - jump, direction, climb down ladder, climb up ladder, ...

I haven't been following up recently, so if these two are not in development already (or released), can you illustrate what they are:

1. Complex Number Object (Pro ?)
2. Set Object

I love that object <img src="/center/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
I actually used it quite a few times for a few private apps. Sadly it's not very known.

A RakNet extension so we don't have to bother about making our own protocols for online games (MooApi likes to send huge packets every few milliseconds- and it is extremely insecure).

I would love to have a Raknet extension <img src="/center/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I wonder if anyone needs a job and could build it for me?

I see they have kinda changed the licensing text.

http://www.rakkarsoft.com/

Before anyone did any serious work on this -- We would need to see what they would need for us to proceed.

Maybe Clickteam could donate some money to Raknet (Not $5000 maybe $2000) and our users would have the rights to commercial use and we would also encourage our users to pay Raknet additional money if they thought the API was valuable to them.

Or we wait and see what Turboferret comes up with. I believe he is kinda wandering around in this area. (or maybe not)

Some sort of improvements will be needed in the area of multi-user communication, I am not sure if 3EE is going to continue MOO or not. Both Ryan and Sean are very busy with real life.

If they are going to continue moo, they would need to code it from the ground up, seriously..

I plan to do the complex number object in the future (I am working on something else first though). The Set Object has source if anyone wants to convert it. I was thinking of making a better Set Object that can deal with infinite sets and things, but I suppose there would be no use to the extra features at all really.

What is the limits of the Set object currently?

Well you can only deal with finite sets. I was thinking of making it so you could take the set of (say) natural numbers and remove certain infinite subsets and so on and so forth. It's completely useless programming wise though, but I did intend on doing it at some point. I probably won't bother now.

Colorizer:

Allow you to enter 9 varibles to create complex Colorizing effects:
Red=Red*RR+Green*RG+Blue*RB
Green=Red*GR+Green*GG+Blue*GB
Blue=Red*BR+Green*BG+Blue*BB
(This is BTW how most of "colorizer" works, most of them can also make the varibles by HSL)

The following extensions:

Audiere
EasyXML
Sprite Array
Web Browser
Tab Manager
ProjectX
EasyScrollbar

and any of my other ideas that I have posted in the forums, are still in development by me.

EasyXML is completely done, I just need to create the documentation which is a real pain in the neck.

Audiere is about 60% done but I want to add some features to make it really stand out.

Web Browser is about 20% done, it still needs a ton more features.

Sprite Array is "almost" abandonware. It really depends on the amount of free time I have, and if I feel like reworking it.

Tab Manager is useless without the Tab control extension which I think was abandoned.

EasyScrollbar could be released as an alpha soon, if the pausing bug was fixed.

ProjectX is my main project currently and it is still in the prototype/planning stages (Although the engine is getting better all of the time).

Just wanted to let everyone know that I am still here, and I do plan to finish my extensions <img src="/center/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />.

What have you decided about taking over the MIDI extension?

Well I could take that one also, but I thought that someone on the forums planned to try his hand at making one, and I was waiting to see if it panned out :P.

I recall that the MIDI extension was functional and stable, but may have had some room for more features, (see old forum).

That would be an extension that needs testing on various soundcards/systems as well.

Also, did Aliens Bridge Object ever get released? I saw it today in MMF and it looks very cool.
