Well, the main issue I had with creating the plugin was the settting up of the Development Environment. The relevant tutorial gives a list of instructions to set up the environment (in the Setting Up Eclipse section), but they aren't correct, as they say this:
- Quote :
4. Select "Create Project from Existing Source", click Browse.
5. Browse to the "src" folder inside your Multiverse directory and select it.
6. Go to Project > Properties > Java Build Path, click on the Libraries tab and add external JARs
7. Select multiverse.jar from the MV_HOME/dist/lib folder.
The 'Create Project from Existing Source' option no longer exists, and I saw that a few people asked about a similar issue on the Eclipse forums. Responses to the threads give the distinct impression that you cannot do this anymore, but might be reintroduced in a future version.
I understand that I need to create my own package, but the impression I get from the Wiki is that the package kind of needs to be created off the back of the existing source code. Perhaps I'm wrong in my assumption - I hope I am, as that would lift a significant barrier, I must say!
If you could rewrite the code, that would be brilliant. But what do you mean by what I want to faction code to do?
Regardless of what the question means, here's a brief outline of what role factions will play in TGOR:
Each player will automatically be in the Roman faction (the overall name of the faction needs to be decided - I'm in the process of reading lots of weighty history books at the moment, so will be able to decide that later on.)
The other factions will be the various nations/tribes featured in Roman history, for example the Gauls, Britons, Germanians, Dacians, Carthaginians, Numidians, Iberians and plenty more. to be honest, most of the factions on
this page. Admittedly I will be using the Rome Total War series for a lot of my research - this is because a lot of their content is historically accurate, so I may as well use it to my advantage.
The player will only be able to be Roman (whether I split into Houses like in RTW, I don't know, but it could create some more diversity..), but later on in development I might create some kind of addon where you can be any faction. But that's in the far future, and I don't even know if TGOR will get past version 1 yet!
The system will be fairly straightforward, with some added additions. Players who annoy other faction NPCs will cause a drop in popularity, and any attack on a settlement belonging to another faction will result in a state of war. If another faction's NPC is killed in a state of peace, relations between the two factions will deteriorate significantly, and all Roman players will see the effect of this, with all NPCs from the faction being generally negative towards them.
To be honest, it's a straightforward Faction system, no different to any other one. Or at least, I don't think so anyway!
How difficult would that be to code, do you think?
I probably need to start learning Java at some point anyway

) possibly either go on there and update the tutorial, or just rewirte it according to your own experience? for me, it's a fairly crucial part of the game, and not being able to even begin coding it is incredibly limiting. Once I get that cracked, I can move on to more important stuff
