10k hero characters

JohnV

Hi, we basically have 10k png for the characters/heroes. and we plan to let the player choose upon login, this flow currently works as we only have three selections as of the moment, wizard, archer and warrior. then we just load which spritesheet to use based on the spritesheet ID the player selected.

My question is what would be the most efficient way to do the 10k characters? do we have to create a .ts file for each of those and import it like what we did for wizard and archer? would it be possible to only have 1 ts file for all the characters and just let the image/png file to be dynamic depending on the player's selected character? is this possible? or not since all spritesheet needed to be compiled during build?

@Spritesheet({
  id: HeroType.Archer,
  image: require('../assets/images/monsters/archer.png'),
  framesWidth: 5,
  framesHeight: 8,
  width: 256,
  height: 512,

JohnV Bro, sounds like a NFT collection? I've got a 10k map collection - not sure if you'd be interested in collab.

If you have the same format for all the images, you can have a set of images

@Spritesheet({
  id: HeroType.Archer,
  images: {
    archer: require('../assets/images/monsters/archer.png'),
    other: require('....')
 },
  framesWidth: 5,
  framesHeight: 8,
  width: 256,
  height: 512,

The images property can be generated with a loop and, instead of putting require, maybe put URLs? (not tried)

Hello this sounds good, one question tho, on the player.ts we set player.setGraphic(HeroType.Archer); on the onConnected hook, if we loop the images on the spritesheet, how do we specify the spritesheet id to use the correct image file? could you guide us a little bit more?

Samarium

Sorry, the id is the key in the images property

@Spritesheet({
  images: {
    [HeroType.Archer]: require('../assets/images/monsters/archer.png'),
    other: require('....')
 },
  framesWidth: 5,
  framesHeight: 8,
  width: 256,
  height: 512,

Sounds like an epic rug to pull in a bunch of money for a "working demo".

Consider donating 100k to @Samarium after you rug everybody

Poopy Bro, this is only one of the many game versions of my collection still in development. Don't jump to conclusions so easily?

Sadly the game development community hates crypto and NFTs just because they are too dumb to understand its benefits, can't blame them though, there hasn't been a single decent game so far using web3 technologies, most of them were made just for profit instead of the players enjoyment. We hope to change that with our game, and I'm sure John is developing an awesome one.

system32uwu dumb is such a strong word. I feel attacked and disrespected. I’ll keep an eye out for your project 🙃

Edit: you assume I’m a game developer. I’m actually a Web3 developer. And 99% of people take the money and run so watch who you are calling dumb. It’s the people who run the projects who are toxic. Still looking forward to your project. Be sure to show it here.

Sound good, great start & process.

About NFT why hate? If project must live, and be popular, need resources.

@JohnV do you have your change open to use? I want to try the ability to try it.
Thanks!
