thank you for your participation
but sadly do to complications
Boulderdash is now closed in the beta stage
Downloads will be hosted on Media fire until October when room will need to be made for the next game.

Update on Textures

Texturing for levels 1 (desert) and 2 (cave) is done.  Work will commence on level 3, the volcano.

i have been texturing the land, i did cell 1,2 and now 4. cell 3 was textured by someone else. but we should have the desert all textured and done soon.

New textures

We have some more textures for the Desert level.  To begin, the gas station has shelves, a roof, walls, gas pumps, and a rocky surface to rest on.  Heather is still working on the last one, but she's pretty close to done from what I can tell.  At any rate, here are our new textures.

This is our gas pump map.  Brendan made this one.

 These three images are the shelves in the gas station.  Like the pump, they are meant to look dirty and worn.

This will be the wall of our desert rock faces.

This is a red, chipping paint texture for the station roof.

This is a compilation of all of the textures used on the rocks.

A repeating pattern of layers.

The crack rock surface, made to look like a desert.

It doesn't look like it, but this is the bump map for the walls.  It is like a stucco.

This is the actual wall texture, complete with some mud.  (made with cooperation with Heather)

The tiles (made by Heather) are also a bit grimy to reflect the condition of the station.

A new set of Rockman animations! -Sam http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCexXLp_p0o&feature=youtu.be

yea right here^^^

scripts

so lets start with my job for the past couple of weeks, what i have done is created and fixed scripts that involve temporary editing to the chatacter and the game known as triggers

a basic trigger i made was a timed trigger where a platform disappears 1 second after the object is touched by the PLAYER and only the PLAYER.


var object : GameObject;
function Start() {
var object : GameObject;
   object = GetComponent(GameObject) as GameObject;
}
function OnTriggerEnter (other : Collider) {
 if (other.CompareTag ("Player"))
 print("you touched me");
     Destroy(object,1);
}

next is a more complicated script, this is attached to the character, what it does is basically if the PLAYER is in the air you are allowed to press the key "X" and the players trigger is turned on momentarily and a force is applied downward, similar to marios jump pound from the newer super mario bros games.


#pragma strict
var chMotor : CharacterMotor;
var movement : CharacterMotorMovement;
var trigger : SphereCollider;
var gravity : Vector3;
var isGrounded : boolean;
function Start () {
movement = CharacterMotorMovement();
chMotor = GetComponent(CharacterMotor);
trigger = GetComponent(SphereCollider) as SphereCollider;
}
 function Update () {
        if(Input.GetKey("x")/* || Input.GetKey("s")*/ && transform.GetComponent(CharacterController).isGrounded == false){

chMotor.movement.gravity = 100000;
 print("get it down");
trigger.isTrigger = true;
        }
        else if (transform.GetComponent(CharacterController).isGrounded == true)
        {
        chMotor.movement.gravity = 20;
         print("grounded");// void;
         trigger.isTrigger = false;
         }  
}

with that there has to be an individual script that allows the trigger that is momentarily turned on to destroy specific objects or obstacles in the way.

//var object = GetComponent(GameObject) as GameObject;

//var trigger = GetComponent(SphereCollider) as SphereCollider;

var object : GameObject;

var trigger : SphereCollider;

//var player = GameObject.Find("guy");

function Start() {

var object : GameObject;

   object = GetComponent(GameObject) as GameObject;

   var trigger : SphereCollider;

trigger = GetComponent(SphereCollider) as SphereCollider;

}

function OnTriggerEnter (other : Collider) {

 if (other.CompareTag ("Player") && trigger.isTrigger == true)

 {

 print("you touched me");

     Destroy(object);

     }

}

this consists of the triggers that will aid to super powers in the game, another team member should be posting the the rock throw power soon.

i have finished putting the texture on the ground and sides and the other under ground part and i textured the wood on the windmill.

Idea for communication

I think I've found something that will better inform the members on what gets done.  When someone posts on this blog, we might be able to set it to where it emails everyone working on the blog a message about the update.  Any comments on this idea?

Brandyn Work

Ok so here is all the texture type work I have done. Some easy some a pain but it looks good in the scene. Enjoy...

Thomas update 4/3

Alright, so I am still working on the Ground Pound, and since Raycast proved much too complex to get the Ground Pound, though it worked effectively, I am now trying to make it so the gravity changes at the push of a button, which presents its own set of pros and cons. I should be able to make more progress with the scripts now that I no longer have to balance the either/or with Raycast, and am still updating the script I'm using. The Raycast script from before proved ineffective, but now I am working on the gravity change script. I should have a working rough draft of the script by the next update.

Latest work

The UV mapping for the trees is still in the works, but I will have to break from that to work on the Skills project for April 4.

In the meanwhile, here are some sample pictures of the current mappings.

This is not our official texture, but something for me to see the lines.

This one is incomplete.  Those weird lines are just from where the limbs are on the map.

this is the ground texture for the desert that i fixed and i uv mapped it and got rid of the repeat, i have also been fixing other textures and uv mapping them and getting rid of repeats.
-Heather Crow

Thomas Update

Okay, I now have the blog information, and this is what I have been working on.

I have been working on the Ground Pound power, which is extremely difficult since there are not many references to go off of for Unity, so I had to think about things in a different way. After trying several different things, I decided that I should try Raycast, so it would send Rockman to the next collider it hits, but I still have to input the command, but after I can get that fixed, it should work. This is the script I deriving it from, and following a few script organization tuts so I can get it ordered in the EXACT way it has to be for it to work.


Script I derived my idea and script from:

 
function Update () {
    var hit : RaycastHit;
    if (Physics.Raycast (transform.position, -Vector3.up, hit, 100.0)) {
        var distanceToGround = hit.distance;
 
        // location of hit -> hit.point
        var pointOfRayHit = hit.point;
 
        Debug.Log( "Ray : hit.distance = " + hit.distance + " : hit.point = " + hit.point );
    }
}

Brandyn (Work)

Ok so as far as I have done work I have a couple of textures as well as UV mapping. Here is what Ive done.

Thats all I have done I might be missing some stuff but ill end up posting it. Enjoy!

I dropped the video into the drop box. It's a simple video displaying three of the animations I've done that are present into the game so far. They are his idle, run, and rolling. It's called "Rockmanimation.mp4".

ALPHA IS HERE

long time right well we have well defined levels now our coding is mixed with several physics engines and and animated set created by sam welch 

as you can see the underground level is textured even though lighting is off we implemented our new textures and even a bump is in the works for it right now the purple bar at the top left is a health bar in the works

this is a path i created on uneven surfaces in our final level the light pink is an unrendered path and the darker shades of red are the rendered area

this is a visual of all the rendered as seen from above the pink blocks are not visible leaving a stable walking path along with a beautiful scene, textures are still in the works but we plan on having tree and a texture for the plain soon

Texturing and Coding - Megan

This is a seamless coble stone texture that I made from a photo I took. I'm not really sure what were going to use this for, maybe for Rockman's texture. 

Here is a weird seamless rock texture thing that I made really quickly to have a texture in the caves. This picture used to be just a dumb photo of some dirt that I took and I felt like making it into rock. Needs some improvement on the quality.

Also, I made the animation script for the rock dude using a tutorial on digital tutors. And it works so yay. :D

var controller : CharacterController = GetComponent(CharacterController);

function Start(){

}

function Update ()

{

if(controller.isGrounded == false){

animation.Play("Jump");

}

else if(Input.GetKey("right") || Input.GetKey("d")){

animation.CrossFade("Walk Right");

print("walk right");

}

else if(Input.GetKey("left") || Input.GetKey("a")){

animation.CrossFade("Walk Left");

print("walk left");

}

else {

animation.CrossFade("Idle");

}

}

Texture progress

Currently working on arranging the tree limbs in our forest level so that the test texture flows properly over it.  Will update this post with pictures and more information as soon as a tree is finished.

In the meantime, the bump map image has been saved to a .png, so we can use it for the cactus texture.

 The last one is a much larger version of the top map.

                                           side

                                            top

these are the top and side view textures i made for the bridge in the game, they still need to be uv mapped on to the bridge to see if they work.
Heather Crow

Progress. Using a fairly simple script, we managed to shrink the character controller hitbox, which will allow us to shrink him down into a ball to get into hard to reach places. All it took was a simple if/else if statement using the up and down arrows for triggers. We just changed his center of the controller as well as the height. Using Unity's animation abilities, it should look fairly good. Script is as follows: var characterController = GetComponent(CharacterController) as CharacterController; function Update () { if(Input.GetKey("down")){ characterController.height = 2.0; characterController.center = Vector3(0,0.25,0); } else if(Input.GetKey("up")){ characterController.height = 4.0; characterController.center = Vector3(0,1,0); } }

Latest work

I still need to add more stuff to this level but right now this is going to be the length of the desert level

Upgraded Cactus and Windmill textures

The cactus textures have been upgraded with better bump map extrusions (courtesy of pictures of actual cacti) and a pattern resembling actual plant cellulation, and the windmills have rust and metal corrosion.  Here's some pictures showing that.

Yeah, the cactus side is still being difficult.  I think the geometry is to blame here.

I know that the ground doesn't have a texture on it; that's being worked on a different file and being put into to this one.
