*** This prevents climbing an unintuitively climbable area in the southeastern corner<br />
** Fixed skybox fog density <br />
*** It's no longer a wall of grey until you get very close to a map border<br />
** Fixed displacement sticking through terrain in BE main<br />
*** Kudos to anyone else who noticed that one<br />
** Fixed displacements sticking through terrain in NF main<br />
** Fixed an exploit where you could climb a hill into the NF main<br />

** Behind the scenes optimisation efforts<br />
** Fixed exploit where BE 2nd flag could be captured from outside its building<br />
** Added automatic attack/move targets that indicate the current objective<br />
** Tweaked stairs to allow for smooth traversal instead of jumpy climbing<br />
<br />

*** It is no longer capturable from the western side of the barricades<br />
** Moved destroyed NF APC prop near NF 2nd flag to allow easy vehicle traversal around it<br />
** Fixed exploit where players could traverse along a sheer wall near BE 2nd flag<br />
** Fixed some missewn displacements<br />
** Rotated NF resupply crates near NF 1st flag to face the correct direction<br />

<hr />
<div>This page describes the workflow from a concept until release. Try to follow this when developing a new feature or releasing a new Empires version.<br />
<br />
If you're working on something that impacts user experience or gamedesign, please look at the [[Guiding Principles]]<br />
<br />
== Creating an Issue ==<br />
<br />
To ensure we don't duplicate effort and to allow team members to see what we're working on we add a short description of the thing we're trying to fix / achieve to an issue on the internal [https://git.empiresmod.com/empires_assets/empires_build/issues issue tracker].<br />
<br />
An issue is a new feature, known bug, known exploit or anything that requires developer work/discussion.<br />
<br />
When adding an issue, try to stick to formulating it as a [https://www.mountaingoatsoftware.com/agile/user-stories user story]. This makes it easier to evaluate whether a proposed change actually fixes the issue. To help discoverability you can add relevant tags.<br />
<br />
If you plan on working on the issue yourself, be sure to assign yourself to it. For more information on how you can effectively use issues you can refer to the [https://docs.gitlab.com/ce/user/project/issues/index.html official issue documentation].<br />
<br />
== Cloning the Relevant Repository ==<br />
''If you've already performed this step in the past you can ignore this section''<br />
<br />
# Make sure you have an account on the internal [https://git.empiresmod.com gitlab] and have received the appropriate permissions.<br />
# Make sure you have [[Adding Public Key to Gitlab | added your public key]] to your acccount.<br />
# Clone <code>git@git.empiresmod.com:empires_assets/empires_build.git</code> in a location of your choosing. Make sure you have at least 30gb free space.<br />
# Double click the <code>setup.bat</code> file on Windows or the <code>setup</code> file on Linux and wait for the process to finish.<br />
# Double click the <code>preview.bat</code> file on Windows or the <code>preview</code> file on Linux and wait for the process to finish.<br />
# You should now have a development version of Empires you can run in your preview folder.<br />
<br />
== C++ development setup ==<br />
<br />
To get started with C++ development you just need to checkout [https://git.empiresmod.com/empires_code/empires_main empires_main] and copy the file from steam (Steam\steamapps\common\Empires\empires) to empires_main/mp/game/empires. For more details on Visual Studio setup check the README in the repo. <br />
<br />
If you also want to make changes to [https://git.empiresmod.com/empires_assets/assets_base assets_base] and [https://git.empiresmod.com/empires_public/empires_scripts empires_scripts] and test them with your C++ changes, you can best checkout those repos next to the empires_main repo and then edit empires_main/mp/game/empires/gameinfo.txt<br />
<br />
SearchPaths {<br />
game+mod |gameinfo_path|../../../../assets_base // <<--- Add this <br />
game+mod |gameinfo_path|../../../../empires_scripts // <<--- Add this <br />
game+mod |gameinfo_path|custom/*<br />
<br />
== Creating a New Branch ==<br />
# Figure out which repository you should be editing. The <code>repos</code> folder contains a list of all the repositories you have access to.<br />
# Figure out if the issue you're working on should be categorized as a bugfix or as a feature. Bugfixes are changes which don't change the intended behavior of the game but purely fix a previous mistake. The rest are features.<br />
# [https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Branching-Basic-Branching-and-Merging Create a new branch] named <code>bugfix/your-description</code> or <code>feature/your-description</code> based on the master or develop branch. (Not all repositories have a develop branch, use master in that case)<br />
# Start working on this branch and regularly commit your changes. You can create a new preview for testing by clicking the preview script again. This will include the changes you just made.<br />
<br />
== Creating a Merge Request ==<br />
# Push your changes to the remote server. In the console output you'll see a link you can visit to create a new merge request. If there is no link you can also manually go to the project in [https://git.empiresmod.com gitlab] and click on the New Merge Request button under the Merge Request tab.<br />
# Give the merge request a descriptive title and mention the issue number in the description as follows: <code>#123</code><br />
# If your changes are not yet done or they don't yet pass all the build tests it's recommended to prefix the name of your merge request with <code>WIP: </code>. This is a signal to reviewers that they should wait a bit until they spend time reviewing the change.<br />
# Try to describe in the description field what you had to change and why.<br />
# Configure the merge request to delete the source branch when it is merged. If you don't know how to do this you can skip this step.<br />
<br />
== Reviewing a Merge Request ==<br />
# Start with a code review. A code review is meant to improve code quality and distributes knowledge about the codebase between team members. Code review is not meant to catch errors / bugs although it's not a problem if it does. Try to review the code on the following areas:<br />
#* Feature Completion (Does this change actually address the issue referenced)<br />
#* Side Effects (Does this change only impact the issue or does it negatively influence other features)<br />
#* Readability and Maintenance (The codebase is now 10+ years old and will probably have to be used for a long time, make sure we don't reduce our [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velocity_%28software_development%29 velocity])<br />
#* Consistency (Does the code look the same as the surrounding code and does it solve problems in the same way as we do elsewhere)<br />
#* Performance (If we can improve performance without impacting Readability and Maintenance or other side effects we should probably do so. When in doubt, measure the performance using [https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms182372.aspx profiling]).<br />
#* Simplicity (Simpler code is usually better, even when it reduces performance)<br />
#* [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_reuse Reuse] of Existing Code (A lot of our code looks copy pasted, we can reuse a lot more than we currently do. Try to review whether there is code that can be reused)<br />
#* Source Files (Make sure we have source files for all compiled assets that are in the merge request)<br />
# Test the code. Check out the code and create a preview to test with on a local listen server.<br />
# If everything works as intended add a thumbs up smiley as a response.<br />
<br />
== Merging Requests Into Alpha ==<br />
You generally want to merge bugfixes as fast as possible. If you plan on releasing another point release (2.14.3 -> 2.14.4) you should probably wait with merging new features. Merging new features usually results in more bugs so queuing them for the next minor release (2.14.3 -> 2.15.1) is advised.<br />
<br />
Once the Continuous Integration has been run after the merge you can press the play button on the empires_build [https://git.empiresmod.com/empires_assets/empires_build/pipelines Pipelines] tab for the newly created version. After that has finished the alpha branch on Steam should have the latest development build. If you don't have the alpha branch on steam, please ask for the password on Hipchat.<br />
<br />
== Preparing a Beta Release ==<br />
# Update the version in the alpha branch. Never release the game twice with the same version number, it'll cause weird issues if people try to connect to servers with the wrong version.<br />
# Add the changes in this release to the [[Changelog]].<br />
# Push the new release to alpha.<br />
# Create a new merge request from alpha to beta. Make sure to uncheck the box that removes the source branch.<br />
# Test the alpha with some developers. If you encounter issues, fix them before releasing to beta.<br />
<br />
== Preparing a Full Release ==<br />
# Merge the pull request from alpha to beta<br />
# Schedule a beta test and a beta server.<br />

<hr />
<div>This page describes the workflow from a concept until release. Try to follow this when developing a new feature or releasing a new Empires version.<br />
<br />
If you're working on something that impacts user experience or gamedesign, please look at the [[Guiding Principles]]<br />
<br />
== Creating an Issue ==<br />
<br />
To ensure we don't duplicate effort and to allow team members to see what we're working on we add a short description of the thing we're trying to fix / achieve to an issue on the internal [https://git.empiresmod.com/empires_assets/empires_build/issues issue tracker].<br />
<br />
An issue is a new feature, known bug, known exploit or anything that requires developer work/discussion.<br />
<br />
When adding an issue, try to stick to formulating it as a [https://www.mountaingoatsoftware.com/agile/user-stories user story]. This makes it easier to evaluate whether a proposed change actually fixes the issue. To help discoverability you can add relevant tags.<br />
<br />
If you plan on working on the issue yourself, be sure to assign yourself to it. For more information on how you can effectively use issues you can refer to the [https://docs.gitlab.com/ce/user/project/issues/index.html official issue documentation].<br />
<br />
== Cloning the Relevant Repository ==<br />
''If you've already performed this step in the past you can ignore this section''<br />
<br />
# Make sure you have an account on the internal [https://git.empiresmod.com gitlab] and have received the appropriate permissions.<br />
# Make sure you have [[Adding Public Key to Gitlab | added your public key]] to your acccount.<br />
# Clone <code>git@git.empiresmod.com:empires_assets/empires_build.git</code> in a location of your choosing. Make sure you have at least 30gb free space.<br />
# Double click the <code>setup.bat</code> file on Windows or the <code>setup</code> file on Linux and wait for the process to finish.<br />
# Double click the <code>preview.bat</code> file on Windows or the <code>preview</code> file on Linux and wait for the process to finish.<br />
# You should now have a development version of Empires you can run in your preview folder.<br />
<br />
== C++ development setup ==<br />
<br />
To get started with C++ development just need to checkout [https://git.empiresmod.com/empires_code/empires_main empires_main]. Read README for setup details. <br />
<br />
If you also want to test with changes in [https://git.empiresmod.com/empires_assets/assets_base assets_base] and [https://git.empiresmod.com/empires_public/empires_scripts empires_scripts] you can best checkout those repos next to the empires_main repo and then edit empires_main/mp/game/empires/gameinfo.txt<br />
<br />
SearchPaths {<br />
game+mod |gameinfo_path|../../../../assets_base // <<--- Add this <br />
game+mod |gameinfo_path|../../../../empires_scripts // <<--- Add this <br />
game+mod |gameinfo_path|custom/*<br />
<br />
== Creating a New Branch ==<br />
# Figure out which repository you should be editing. The <code>repos</code> folder contains a list of all the repositories you have access to.<br />
# Figure out if the issue you're working on should be categorized as a bugfix or as a feature. Bugfixes are changes which don't change the intended behavior of the game but purely fix a previous mistake. The rest are features.<br />
# [https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Branching-Basic-Branching-and-Merging Create a new branch] named <code>bugfix/your-description</code> or <code>feature/your-description</code> based on the master or develop branch. (Not all repositories have a develop branch, use master in that case)<br />
# Start working on this branch and regularly commit your changes. You can create a new preview for testing by clicking the preview script again. This will include the changes you just made.<br />
<br />
== Creating a Merge Request ==<br />
# Push your changes to the remote server. In the console output you'll see a link you can visit to create a new merge request. If there is no link you can also manually go to the project in [https://git.empiresmod.com gitlab] and click on the New Merge Request button under the Merge Request tab.<br />
# Give the merge request a descriptive title and mention the issue number in the description as follows: <code>#123</code><br />
# If your changes are not yet done or they don't yet pass all the build tests it's recommended to prefix the name of your merge request with <code>WIP: </code>. This is a signal to reviewers that they should wait a bit until they spend time reviewing the change.<br />
# Try to describe in the description field what you had to change and why.<br />
# Configure the merge request to delete the source branch when it is merged. If you don't know how to do this you can skip this step.<br />
<br />
== Reviewing a Merge Request ==<br />
# Start with a code review. A code review is meant to improve code quality and distributes knowledge about the codebase between team members. Code review is not meant to catch errors / bugs although it's not a problem if it does. Try to review the code on the following areas:<br />
#* Feature Completion (Does this change actually address the issue referenced)<br />
#* Side Effects (Does this change only impact the issue or does it negatively influence other features)<br />
#* Readability and Maintenance (The codebase is now 10+ years old and will probably have to be used for a long time, make sure we don't reduce our [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velocity_%28software_development%29 velocity])<br />
#* Consistency (Does the code look the same as the surrounding code and does it solve problems in the same way as we do elsewhere)<br />
#* Performance (If we can improve performance without impacting Readability and Maintenance or other side effects we should probably do so. When in doubt, measure the performance using [https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms182372.aspx profiling]).<br />
#* Simplicity (Simpler code is usually better, even when it reduces performance)<br />
#* [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_reuse Reuse] of Existing Code (A lot of our code looks copy pasted, we can reuse a lot more than we currently do. Try to review whether there is code that can be reused)<br />
#* Source Files (Make sure we have source files for all compiled assets that are in the merge request)<br />
# Test the code. Check out the code and create a preview to test with on a local listen server.<br />
# If everything works as intended add a thumbs up smiley as a response.<br />
<br />
== Merging Requests Into Alpha ==<br />
You generally want to merge bugfixes as fast as possible. If you plan on releasing another point release (2.14.3 -> 2.14.4) you should probably wait with merging new features. Merging new features usually results in more bugs so queuing them for the next minor release (2.14.3 -> 2.15.1) is advised.<br />
<br />
Once the Continuous Integration has been run after the merge you can press the play button on the empires_build [https://git.empiresmod.com/empires_assets/empires_build/pipelines Pipelines] tab for the newly created version. After that has finished the alpha branch on Steam should have the latest development build. If you don't have the alpha branch on steam, please ask for the password on Hipchat.<br />
<br />
== Preparing a Beta Release ==<br />
# Update the version in the alpha branch. Never release the game twice with the same version number, it'll cause weird issues if people try to connect to servers with the wrong version.<br />
# Add the changes in this release to the [[Changelog]].<br />
# Push the new release to alpha.<br />
# Create a new merge request from alpha to beta. Make sure to uncheck the box that removes the source branch.<br />
# Test the alpha with some developers. If you encounter issues, fix them before releasing to beta.<br />
<br />
== Preparing a Full Release ==<br />
# Merge the pull request from alpha to beta<br />
# Schedule a beta test and a beta server.<br />

*** This makes it slightly easier to get up on the hill in the southeastern corner of NW<br />
** Adjusted displacements in city<br />
*** This prevents climbing an unintuitively climbable area in the southeastern corner<br />
** Fixed skybox fog density <br />
*** It's no longer a wall of grey until you get very close to a map border<br />
** Fixed displacement sticking through terrain in BE main<br />
*** Kudos to anyone else who noticed that one<br />
** Fixed displacements sticking through terrain in NF main<br />
** Fixed an exploit where you could climb a hill into the NF main<br />
** Fixed (some) textures being needlessly rendered in northwest<br />
*** If you find any others, post on the forums and they will be fixed<br />
** Adjusted displacements around the southern bridge to prevent seeing under the map<br />
** New 2D skybox<br />
** New lighting<br />
*** Please report any lighting issues you notice<br />
** New fog<br />
<br />
* '''District402:'''<br />
** Preparing the map for AI players:<br />
*** Broadened staircase to BE 4th flag<br />
*** Slightly tweaked detail crates near BE 1st and 3rd flag<br />
*** Moved BE resupply boxes at BE 3rd flag<br />
*** Slightly moved poles near NF 1st and 4th flag<br />
*** Added [disabled] bot spawners<br />
** Behind the scenes optimisation efforts<br />
** Fixed exploit where BE 2nd flag could be captured from outside its building<br />
** Added automatic attack/move targets that indicate the current objective<br />
** Tweaked stairs to allow for smooth traversal instead of jumpy climbing<br />
<br />
* '''Mvalley:'''<br />
** Added a border grid akin to duststorm to better visualise the edge of the map<br />
** Added a missing commander restrict brush on BE's dam ramp<br />
<br />
* '''Urbanchaos:'''<br />
** Decompiled to get editable source files<br />
*** This might have caused unforeseen errors within the map. Please report any bugs you find<br />
** Fixed 1st BE flag dimensions<br />
*** It is no longer capturable from the western side of the barricades<br />
** Moved destroyed NF APC prop near NF 2nd flag to allow easy vehicle traversal around it<br />
** Fixed exploit where players could traverse along a sheer wall near BE 2nd flag<br />
** Fixed some missewn displacements<br />
** Rotated NF resupply crates near NF 1st flag to face the correct direction<br />
** Added sky viscluster in an attempt to improve performance<br />
** Behind the scenes optimisation<br />

# You can temporarily copy the empires_template.txt over the empires_english.txt file to test your changes. Make sure not to commit it though. (The encoding is weird and won't be merged correctly)<br />
# Create a pull request.<br />
# Get your pull request accepted into develop.<br />
# The translation system now automatically adds the new strings to the translation system.<br />
# Translators will see new strings they can translate.<br />
# Once strings are translated new compiled versions will appear once an hour at http://translate.empiresmod.com/compiled/ and will appear in the repo in the empires_assets:translations branch.<br />
# You can place these in mp/game/empires/resources/ to test our your feature in other languages. <br />
# Before a release the translations branch will be merged into develop.<br />
<br />
== Translation Workflow (translators) ==<br />
# Contact one of the developers to get translation access.<br />
# Sign the Contributors Agreement.<br />
# Log in to http://translate.empiresmod.com with the credentials you received.<br />
# Start translating strings for the languages you're proficient with.<br />
# The strings you translate can be placed in game by using the files at http://translate.empiresmod.com/compiled/ These files are updated once an hour if someone updates a translation. You can place these files in the empires/resource/ folder in your empires install.<br />
# The updated strings will be merged before a release so make sure you check the website regularly to see if there are more strings to translate. (If certain strings aren't translated before a release those messages will appear in English.<br />
<br />
=== Changing a description in game ===<br />
# Download the template file from http://translate.empiresmod.com/compiled/empires_template.txt<br />
# Make the changes to the descriptions. Be sure to keep the keys the same.<br />
# Send the changed file to one of the developers, preferably by uploading the file to the Translations channel in hipchat.<br />
# If the developers decide to merge your changes the strings will update automatically for all languages.<br />
# Add translations for all languages<br />
# Go play the game after release :)<br />
<br />
== Language differences ==<br />
<br />
Some strings can't be translated to carry the exact same meaning while maintaining simplicity of use. Because of that, there are certain small discrepancies between the translations. Below are examples of these.<br />
<br />
=== Polish translation ===<br />

==HUD Hide flags==<br />
<br />
The player has a variable <code>m_iHideHUD</code> that defines which hud elements should be hidden. <br />
https://github.com/ValveSoftware/source-sdk-2013/blob/0d8dceea4310fde5706b3ce1c70609d72a38efdf/mp/src/game/client/hud.cpp#L948<br />
<br />
Each hud element can asign its self to a hide group using <code>SetHiddenBits(int group)</code>.<br />
<br />
There are 3 special hide flags. <br />
* HIDEHUD_ALL is special because it is always asigned to every element. So calling SetHiddenBits(HIDEHUD_ALL) is pointless. <br />
* HIDEHUD_PLAYERDEAD & HIDEHUD_NEEDSUIT are special because it does not use <code>m_iHideHUD</code>. Seem to be a bit of a hack by valve.</div>Johnnyhttps://wiki.empiresmod.com/index.php?title=VGUI&diff=8816VGUI2017-04-16T14:37:59Z<p>Johnny: /* Borders */</p>

<div>{{Sitenav|[[Mapping]] > Basic Mapping}} <br />
[[image:Mapping.JPG|thumb|right|An example of an Empires map in Hammer.]]<br />
<br />
After you've [[Configuring Hammer for Empires|configured Hammer to run with Empires]], you're ready to start making maps.<br />
<br />
== Step 1: Build a large room ==<br />
Build a huge room that will represent your level. If you're doing an outdoors map with vehicles, make sure to allow lots of room. Your map will need to be '''at least''' 10000 units square and that will be a small map.<br />
If you want to have a sky instead of a solid roof, then use the Tools/SkyBox texture on those walls that will be the boundary to the sky<br />
<br />
== Step 2: Add Entities ==<br />
You're going to need one of each of these:<br />
* [[Emp_info_params]] (Required)<br />
* [[Emp_info_map_overview]] (Required)<br />
* [[Emp_building_imp_barracks]] '''OR''' [[emp_info_player_Imp]]<br />
* [[Emp_building_nf_barracks]] '''OR''' [[emp_info_player_NF]]<br />
* [[Emp_nf_commander]] Norhern Faction command vehicle (Optional)<br />
* [[Emp_imp_commander]] Imperial command vehicle (Optional)<br />
<br />
== Step 3: Create your map's resource file ==<br />
The best way to do this is to go to your empires directory and look under the ''resources/maps'' directory. Copy one of the existing map's files there and rename the copy to match the name of your map (plus the .txt extension). Edit it and make adjustments as needed.<br />
This will let players select spawns when ingame<br />
<br />
More Detailed Guide: [[Setting Up Map Resources]]<br />
<br />
== Step 4: Set up your map's materials directory ==<br />
Go to your ''Empires\materials\maps'' directory and copy a pair of any two .vtf and .vmt files (must be the from the same map). Rename them to emp_<yourmapname>.<vtf/vmt>. These will serve as placeholders for your map's overhead view until later. Untill you have created your own minimap picture and .VTF file, your map will use the minimap from the map files you just copied.<br />
<br />
This is no problem for testing things out so do not worry about your minimap untill the map is nearly ready to go.<br />
<br />
More Detailed Guide: [[Setting Up Map Resources]]<br />
<br />
== Step 5: Flesh it out ==<br />
=== Deciding Gameplay ===<br />
Empires suports a few quite interesting gameplay types, with more to be added later.<br />
==== Classic ====<br />
The standard (Classic) [[Gameplay_Types|gameplay type]] involves capturing [[Resource Node|resource nodes]] and building bases. It is used on maps such as [[Map:emp_duststorm|emp_duststorm]] and [[Map:emp_crossroads|emp_crossroads]]. The objective is for the players to destroy the opposing faction's [[Command Vehicle]].<br />
<br />
For it to work you need a [[barracks]] ([[emp_building_imp_barracks]], [[emp_building_nf_barracks]]) for each team, a [[Command Vehicle]] per faction ([[emp_imp_commander]], [[emp_nf_commander]]) and also at least two [[Resource Node|resource nodes]] ([[emp_resource_point]], preferably marked by an [[emp_resource_point_prop]] so that one can actually see the point) to be able to play properly.<br />
<br />
None of the above entities are absolutely required, the game will work as long as there is a way for people from both teams to spawn.<br />
<br />
==== Conquest ====<br />
The second one is as seen in Battlefield and other games, involving capturing and holding flags. While it is possible to have a [[Commander]] and a [[Command Vehicle|Command Vehicle]], it is not required. This gameplay is slightly featured on [[Map:emp_escort|emp_escort]], on which it has been converted into a push type of gameplay by not having the flags to be recapturable by the [[Northern Faction]].<br />
<br />
To be able to spawn at a flag, you need to place spawn points. These are called [[emp_info_player_Imp]] for the [[Brenodi Empire|Imperials]] and [[emp_info_player_NF]] for the [[Northern Faction]].<br />
<br />
=== Adding Buildings ===<br />
Buildings are in the form of entities. See the [[Entity Index]] for a complete list. Buildings are the entities with ''building'' in their names.<br />
<br />
== Step 6: Compile/Run ==<br />
Hit F9 and run with the default options if you don't mind waiting several hours for the map to compile. <br />
<br />
If you just want to quickly check something, you can compile without making lighting calculations, this saves an awful lot of time over the development of a map. Make sure your compile options are Normal, (not advanced mode), then under Run Vis and Run Rad, check the no box. <br />
<br />
This is not to be used when you are checking water as that needs the lighting calculations in order to appear in game. This is also obviously not to be used for final compiles or your lighting will look pretty pants! <br />
<br />
Check your developer console by pressing tilde (~ or ^) in-game and look for obvious problems.<br />
<br />
