1 Dec 2004

Cole Rottweiler

• Added a singleton mouse handler, similar to the keyboard handler.
• Added active camera to teh camera handler class. Removed all current cam info from the world, so now all camera operations are conducted through the camera handler.
• Modified the camera handler to poll the keyboard and mouse handlers and update the current camera accordingly.
• Improved mouse controls of first person, third person, and birds eye cameras.
• Changed player mouse controls to mouse-turn and keyboard strafe.
• Added stencil buffer code for shadows.
• The player handler is now in charge of making sure the active cam in the camera handler is the correct player cam (first or third person) (when the user switches between the two).

Andrew Garrison

• Made a better implementation of hover, so there are now three stages of hover based on the distance from the ground, better overall hover behavior, and the hovering player now automatically rights itself when it is off axis

2 Dec 2004

Cole Rottweiler

• Improved mouse controls on first person, third person, and birds eye cameras.
• Extended functionality of keyboard handler to (hopefully) increase efficiency.
• Removed shadow code from world (now that we have terrain).
• The first person camera now returns it's correct direction.
• Began making timer class.
• Began making a crosshair (orthographically projected).

Andrew Garrison

• Improved hover even more
• Added machine gun weapon that uses ray casting to determine hits
• Added other general functionality to weapons
• Noted that playerhandler and weapons still need to be debugged (I'll do this later)
• Changed playerhandler loop so that all players now hover

4 Dec 2004

Cole Rottweiler

• Fixed timer code. You now register callbacks with the timer and a tick length that specifies the amount of pause between calls to the functions.
• The timer requires the callbacks to have return type void and take one double. The double is the actual amount of time between ticks, which at least the physics handler uses for a more accurate simulation.

5 Dec 2004

Justin Guerber

• Got terrain height-mapping to work.
• Debugged collision detection with triangle meshes in Novodex (now works fine).
• Created preliminary alpha-test model for the player.
• Implemented novodex debug support for meshes in the graphical view.

Cole Rottweiler

• Studied contact callbacks and triggers in Novodex.
• Helped design the weapon collision-damage system.

Andrew Garrison

• Changed hover so that there is now a single case of behavior instead of three different ones, just made maximum forces that are added instead of setting different forces in different zones. This looks a lot better!
• Added projectile handler
• Created projectile weapons, currently don't explode or get removed from the scene or deal damage though.

8 Dec 2004

Cole Rottweiler

• Added identification code to the cameras.
• Fixed crosshair orthographics problem. Crosshair now works as desired (minimal functionality).
• Fixed player third person mode weapon power-up bug.
• Fixed player camera bug. Players switch between turns smoothly now.
• Removed static bullet tracing from matchine gun and replaced it with prototype "tracer bullets."
• Cleaned out main. Removed all timer code. Idle func now calls the world's checkTick function.
• Changed the timer class form a singleton to a normal class. A timer now only times one thing at a time.
• Fixed crosshairs (only draw in fpm).
• Fixed raycasting problem in player (ray direction wasn't normalized).
• Note: since we aren't clearing the left click out of the mouse handler, all ten machine gun shots are being fired with one click. Fix this.
• Fixed tp weapon power-up bug.

Justin Guerber

• Converted from console to win32 application
• Converted from glut to directinput (mouse and keyboard)
• Created alpha test map and revamped terrain class
• Modified milkshape model class to support height map terrains for novodex
• Added a print function to debugger class

Andrew Garrison

• Put in some minor changes like wireframe, ray casting normalization checks, etc.
• Players can now switch weapons
• Added power up functionality - hold down mouse button to power up powerable weapons and let go to fire
• Fixed some bugs in the player and team removal code
• Playerhandler now cheack to see if the game is over by looking at the number of teams that are alive

09 Dec 2004

Cole Rottweiler

• Added states into the new main (win32 with direct input version).
• Fixed some mouse movement bugs in the player handler (movement inversions).
• Added an overlay class to draw the HUD.
• Fiddled with overlay appearance.
• Disable depth testing while drawing overlay.
• Added functions to the weapons to get their names and other info.

Andrew Garrison

• Added Novodex contacts
• Explodable objects explode - do damage and get deleter from the scene and game - when they hit something
• Added a Collidable base class from which players, terrain, and bullets all inherit
• Projectiles do damage and players take damage
• Completely tore apart and rebuilt the playerhandler loop
• Machine gun does more damage
• Game doesn't segfault when the game is over!

11 Dec 2004

Andrew Garrison

• Overlay now correctly displays ammo
• Fixed weapons so that they reload at the beginning of the turn instead of at the end

12 Dec 2004

Andrew Garrison

• Added splash damage and splash forces
• Remapped some keys - now WASD and K for suicide
• Changed various variables to balance play such as bazooka damage turn time
• Cleaned up code by taking out hoverUp and hoverDown code (they didn't do anything anymore)
• Changed some of the dependencies so that everything now includes common.h (model, milkshapemodel, and terrain were only including nxphysics.h and the like)

15 Dec 2004

Cole Rottweiler

• Added debug printing to the overlay class.
• The terrain is no longer a singleton.
• The world has a skyglobe.

16 Dec 2004

Andrew Garrison

• Added shotgun, no visualization of shots though
• Added grenades, but uses sphere model (needs to change)
• Projectile handler now updates projectiles every update (necessary for grenades)
• Deleted more things in destructors - not all memory leaks fixed yet though

17 Dec 2004

Justin Guerber

• Debugged models again
• Debugged terrain again
• Got materials and textures working
• Made a new map with new terrain for final release
• Made a new model and edited old model for final release
• Added object class to terrain for collidable objects not in the heightmap
• Consolodated input handlers into inputhandler class
• Cleaned up old code and more throroughly documented it
• Wrote User's Guide
• Wrote Final Report

Cole Rottweiler

• Fixed timer in player handler so it doesn't reset after an unpause.
• Split up the updating and the drawing in the world.
• Pause tells world to redraw (using a timer).
• Removed Justin's hacks in the keyboard handler
• Main has some sound testing code in it.
• The soundhandler is very small (a play function).
• It uses a bunch of static functions.
• Main.h was removed from CVS.

Andrew Garrison

• Added powerbar
• Tweaked variables
• Fixed Justin's hacks in the keyboard handler
• Worked on explosion visualization
• Made final presentation
