A siege pack

This is about a 'Siege Pack'
It's called siege 'engine' beacuse I like that word
It's for DawnOfMen (maybe for you to... If I release a resource/pack)

I am now working on the mighty Siege Engine ;)
No really I am
So what is it?

The siege engine is all the things to do with siege (weapons, catapults, environment destroyers, destroyable walls etc) in a great big folder.

The point? There isn't one, it just makes me feel like im making progress :}

Calling Code...

Game.cs sends a call to siegeengine/init.cs which calls all the init.cs 's in all the subfolders of /siegeengine
which then loads the files in their subfolders.

confused? me too :(

game.cs has a call like this:

// Load up Siege Engine
   exec("./Siege Engine/init.cs");
   SiegeEngine();

which calls this:

//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Siege Engine 
// Copyright (C) SphyxGames.com
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------


//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
//  Load all files and echo results to log file
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

function SiegeEngine()
{
   echo(" ");
   echo("--------- Initializing: Siege Engine  ---------");
   echo(" ");

   StartSiegeEngine();

   echo(" ");
   echo("--------- Finished Initializing: Siege Engine  ---------");
   echo(" ");
}

function StartSiegeEngine()
{
   // Load Audio
   LoadAudio();

   // Load FX
   LoadFX();

   // Load Weapons
   InitWeaponLoad();
   LoadWeapons();

   // Load Environment
   LoadEnvironment();
}

function LoadAudio()
{
   echo("Loading Audio");
   exec("./Audio/audioProfiles.cs");
   echo("Finished Loading Audio");
   echo(" ");
}

function LoadFX()
{
   echo("Loading Effects");
   exec("./FX/fx_lights.cs");
   exec("./FX/particle_effects.cs");
   echo("Finished Loading Effects");
   echo(" ");
}

function InitWeaponLoad()
{
   echo("Loading Weapons");
   exec("./Weapons/init.cs");
   echo("Finished Loading Weapons");
   echo(" ");
}

function LoadEnvironment()
{
   echo("Loading Environment");
   exec("./Environment/environment.cs");
   exec("./Environment/destroyableenvironmentobjects.cs");
   exec("./Environment/terrainDeformer.cs");
   echo("Finished Loading Environment");
   echo(" ");
}

There were so many weapons that I needed to do a separate system for them:

//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Siege Engine - Weapons
// Copyright (C) SphyxGames.com
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------


//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
//  Load all files
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

function LoadWeapons()
{
   exec("./Global/weapon.cs");
   exec("./Global/radiusDamage.cs");
   exec("./Bows/init.cs");
   exec("./Axes/init.cs");
   exec("./Swords/init.cs");

   StartWeapons();
}

function StartWeapons()
{
   LoadBows();
   LoadAxes();
   LoadSwords();
}

Wow, the engine works!
All that code (theres a lot more, 1000+ lines)
Done by me
and it works!

You don't know what an achievement that is for me

There are, in total 31 files in the siege engine and i've only done basic stuff there will be over 200 files in the final version.


Whats this got to do with you?

Well the siege engine may be released either as a pack or resource and will have the following features:
-> Destructible terrain
-> Destructible buildings
-> Destructible environment objects
-> 100's of sounds and audio effects
-> Over 100 weapon models and their code (axes, swords, bows, pikes)
-> Over 20 new siege models (catapults, battering rams, etc)
-> New textures (lots)
-> Much more

So what d' you think? Good, Stupid?

I'd go with stupid, but Im very modest...
