| 18:49 | | * abudhabi_ plays Surviving Mars and thinks their solutions to pathfinding loads are pretty cool. |
| 18:50 | < abudhabi_> | For one, the game basically has 2D-like 3D, ie. elevation varies, but you can't go arbitrarily high into the air, and you can't dig tunnels. |
| 18:51 | < abudhabi_> | For another, the ground-level workers are limited to reasonably sized areas of hexes they are allowed to path within, justified in-game as battery and radio control constraints. |
| 18:51 | < abudhabi_> | Colonists are even more limited in their movements. |
| 18:52 | < abudhabi_> | Overall, it's an elegant solution to what makes computers cry when they run Dwarf Fortress. |
| 18:55 | < abudhabi_> | Is there a name to the "I can't believe it's not 3D" kind of map? |
| 18:56 | <@celticminstrel> | So when you say elevation varies, it’s like each hex has a set elevation, right? |
| 18:56 | <@celticminstrel> | Like in the Avernum series. |
| 18:57 | <@celticminstrel> | But what’s that about going arbitrarily high in the air? |
| 18:57 | <~Vornicus> | "heightfield" |
| 18:58 | <@celticminstrel> | Yes. |
| 18:58 | < abudhabi_> | celticminstrel: Yeah, just like that. |
| 18:58 | <@celticminstrel> | That would be the name for what the Avernum series does. |
| 18:58 | < abudhabi_> | Vornicus: Thanks! |
| 18:59 | <~Vornicus> | heightfields are pretty common: OTTD, SMAC, Supreme Commander, Factory Town |
| 18:59 | <~Vornicus> | technically System Shock used a crazy version of a heightfield |
| 18:59 | <@celticminstrel> | Crazy how? |
| 19:00 | <~Vornicus> | Each cell had two floor heights and a "shape" and then it matched that with the ceiling |

| 19:01 | <~Vornicus> | and then in some areas in order to make over/under corridors it added plate entities you could walk on |

| 20:11 | <&[R]> | Gotta love hacky map systems |
| 20:43 | <@sshine> | did anyone here try Lutris for gaming on Linux? |
| 20:46 | <&ToxicFrog> | I've used it |
| 20:46 | <&ToxicFrog> | (I'm actually using it right now to run EGS) |
| 20:46 | <&ToxicFrog> | It's alright |
| 20:47 | <&ToxicFrog> | Re the SS1 heightmap -- it also didn't have a fixed height resolution; instead you set the height scale factor in the map header, so if you wanted a taller map you had to settle for larger steps between heights |
| 20:56 | <@sshine> | I'm running the official Battle.net client after having typed a few commands. I'm not sure who is driving the effort at making games this convenient on Linux, but it's impressive. |
