Playmodes

Idea

ORXONOX's worlds in SinglePlayer mode should ba able to dynamically change between different Playmodes.

This will represent a new Way of Playing games in different simple modes. There will be:

Full3D: Totally free controll of the Game From Behind: Camera will be on the back, the Player can move in the z-y-plane From Left/Right: Camera from the Side, The Playable will be controlled in the x-y-plane From Top/Bottom: Camera from above/below, Playable will be controlled in the x-z-plane

Behold

Flying to a Tunnel in 3D we will see us suddenly from behind. Then, the we can only move up and down/ left and right. At the end of the Tunnel we want to have a classical view as in old Vertical Scrollers, and so we move the camera to the Top.

Observe

This will be one of the special features of ORXONOX because, this was never seen (by me at least) in other games.

Also there should be the possibility to play the Single-Player-Mode together in a cooperative team

Shell Completion Plugins

Idea

The ShellCompletion is quite cool until now, but as always we want more

• ShellCompletion should also be possible to complete Attributes/Parameters

Implementation

New Classes:

• ShellCompletor
• ShellCompletionPlugin

They will help to grab the required information to acquire completion-lists.

THA HORROR

LoadParam has an error when loading names, that should be delimited by spaces.

example:

   <GameWorld>
     <name>Urban City</name>
   </GameWorld>

creates a Gameworld with the name 'Urban' instead of Urban City. Tha Problem arises, because LoadParam always splits at whitespaces and ','.

The Idea

… is to

• split only at commas, and where there are whitespaces around the Comma, cut them away.
• Also to remove "" around Names, that have them.
