ualbion's Issues

Improve texture filtering on 3D levels

Currently 3D levels just use point samplers, experiments with various mip-mapping, anisotropy and mag filter settings should be made to find the optimal texture sampling method that looks good but maintains the feel of the original game.

Screenshots?

I think people will be more interested in testing this neat re-implementation and maybe collaborate with some code if you show the current state of this port in the README. Even early screenshots are fine!

Implement context menu reach limits

Currently the player can use the right click menu on any visible tile, this should be restricted to the range allowed by the original game. A configuration option should be added to enable or disable the possibly unintentional 'steal' mechanic where this range was extended for a couple of frames after bumping into a non-passable tile.

Play ambient tracks on map load

In addition to the MIDI music, Albion could also play ambient tracks, defined as MIDI data but with the instruments provided by short wav files to provide environmental sounds (birdsong, machinery on the Toronto etc). These can currently be played back, but the timing is incorrect - this functionality needs to be polished and then enabled by default.

Audio balance shifts when opening inventory screen

For some reason the balance of positional audio sources shifts when opening the inventory screen. These sounds should either remain consistent, or be silenced when opening the inventory.

Fix skybox rotation to match map terrain

Currently on 3D levels the skybox rotation occurs at a fairly arbitrary rate and doesn't match up with the level geometry, leading to a sometimes-nauseating effect. This should be made more natural looking.

Add ability to highlight map tiles that the party can interact with

A potential quality-of-life improvement would be a way to highlight which tiles can be examined, manipulated etc. This option should be togglable in the configuration options.

Add autocomplete for debug console

It would be nice if autocomplete suggestions were shown in the debug console to improve discoverability of the available events and parameter/entity types.

Add lighting on 3D levels

Currently a trivial full-bright lighting model is used for shaders on 3D levels, this should be changed to a more sophisticated method.

netcoreapp3.0 target is not supported since March 3, 2020

See https://dotnet.microsoft.com/platform/support/policy/dotnet-core for details. Migration to at least Core 3.1 (LTS, but actual support time is roughly the same as of .NET 5) or .NET 5 preferably (both would be supported until at least 2022) would solve this completely (currently, targetting 3.0 results in a spam of NETSDK1138 warnings).

Official doc: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/migration/31-to-50 (also https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/migration/30-to-31 to a lesser extent)

Checking this by fixing the csprojs by hand didn't result in any obvious issues. I can create a PR with these changes if it's the preferred way to handle this, no biggie.

As a side note: if compatibility with Mono/Xamarin is not an issue, using net5.0 profile consistently instead of e.g. netstandard2.1 etc. would be more futureproof.

Fix incorrect sprite layering when party moving diagonally on 2D maps

On some 2D maps, incorrect layering of the terrain and party members is seen when moving diagonally. The layering behaviour should be updated to better match the original game.

Various UI/UX tweaks and suggestions

This issue is a catch-all for various UI/UX considerations I've noticed that you may, or may not, wish to address. Close at will, and if you'd prefer me to break any (or all) points out into separate issues for easier tracking and resolution, let me know.

When you are in a dialog window, the speech window behind new dialog options continues to render its window-dressing, and this is mildly disruptive at the bottom of the dialog options window. See picture:
In same picture, I'd tentatively move the monster alert icon down just slightly so character portraits do not impinge, though that depends on the placement of other on-screen icons, so the fix is not simple and obvious. Also, the drop shadows around the portraits look overly well-defined and I might soften them a touch.
Turn the lower-right box into an actual persistent log complete with scroll bar and, in-combat, round separator titles (as well as markers for combat start and combat end). I would recommend new entries at top and pushed down, to better align with the original UI. Also, if it turns into a log it should probably be left-justified, though with a generous margin
In the character screen, various readouts on hover to be placed in said box, whether it becomes a log or not. A couple of examples: if I hover over a stat, give a qualitative description of its function, like telling me dexterity affects dodge chance against enemies and traps. If I hover over a temporary condition, such as insanity, give me a qualitative description of its function. These can probably just be pulled directly from the manual.
Again in the character screen, name the equipment slots on mouse hover, so I can know if something is a 'neck' slot or a 'wield' slot or whatever without referencing the manual.
WASD for walking, as well as the arrow keys. I know this is a feature request rather than an 'issue'.

~~7. Remove mouse limiting to windows. It's really irritating that I can't move my mouse around the entire screen when I have certain windows open.~~

Correct handling of 2D collision and movement

Currently the various collision flags are only being handled in a very basic manner, as a result players cannot move through east/west facing doors or various narrow passages and staircases.

Add tiled import/export capability for 3D maps

It should be possible to export 3D maps to formats used by the Tiled map editor via an isometric representation. New or modified maps should also be able to be imported from these formats back into the binary formats used by Albion.

Multiple ammunition items allowed in off-hand slot

It should be possible to place only one of an ammunition type in a character's off-hand when using a ranged weapon.

Proof of concept for replacing billboard sprite props with 3D models

A 3D model renderer should be added so mods can provide 3D models as a replacement for the current 2D billboard-sprite props (plants, rocks, chests, pillars etc). Simple keyframe/morphing animation support is probably good enough to start, but skeletal animation at some point would be nice.

Add tile entered event handling to 3D levels

2D levels currently handle event triggers when the player enters tile zones, but 3D levels do not.

Add map screen for 3D levels

On 3D levels, it should be possible to right click at any time and choose to show an overhead map view (with only the visited areas revealed). It should also be possible to open the map via a keyboard shortcut.

Add context menu on 3D levels

Currently the right-click menu is only shown on 2D levels. Right clicking doors, buttons, NPCs etc should also show a context menu in 3D.

Allow player to click a point and have the party pathfind their way there

The original games control method requires continuous control inputs to move the party, e.g. click and hold mouse button or hold arrow keys. Alternative control methods where the player can click a desired point and the party automatically moves there could improve accessibility for some players.

Add headers with underline

Some UI headers, e.g. on the inventory screen, are shown with an underline in the original. This should be replicated.

Add bump-mapping support for 3D wall / floor / ceiling textures

Adding bump-mapping to the extruded tilemap shaders could be an easy way to improve graphics without having to rework level data.

Add history for debug console

It should be possible to replay prior commands in the debug console using the up/down arrow keys.

Handle event sets for item activation

In the inventory screen, various items have 'activate' etc options that should invoke special behaviours defined in event set #1.

Demo support?

It looks like there is an Albion demo that can be freely (and probably legally) downloaded to test UAlbion. Is there any plans to support it?

Sound source proximity volume incorrect

The current behaviour of sound sources with respect to party position does not closely approximate the original game.

Remove inventory items after performing actions that consume them

When activating items like potions, scrolls, the ship's clock etc, the item should be consumed if the activation was successful.

Add tiled import/export capacity for 2D maps

It should be possible to export existing maps to the native formats of the Tiled map editor, as well as import new or modified maps created with Tiled back into the binary formats used by Albion.

Add combat positions dialog

The dialog for assigning each characters combat position needs to be added to match that seen in the original.

Unable to create OpenGL Context:

Im using Manjaro Linux. After copy "ALBION" folder (in capital letters) from "game.gog" to my ualbion base folder (not
/ualbion/src/UALBION folder) and execute "./run.sh -gl" the game show this error:

Incorrect handling of block-based map modify events in 2D levels

When opening Iskai doors etc, incorrect tiles are placed on the map. This is probably due to some off-by-one error in tile indexes above/below 100.

Add encumbrance

When a character is carrying more than their maximum carry weight, it should no longer be possible for the party to move, with an appropriate message shown.

Test on macOS

As UAlbion is based on .NET 5 and Veldrid, it should theoretically also be able to run on macOS using Metal. As I lack any appropriate hardware, I'm not currently able to test to what extent this actually works, or fix any issues with it. It would be good if someone more familiar with the platform could look into this.

Add random NPC wandering

NPCs should either follow their predefined waypoints from the map file, or wander randomly based on their NPC flags. Currently they just stand in place and play all animations in a cycle.

Offset events not working correctly

Offset events on 2D maps are often not working properly, e.g. Iskai doors and the Toronto hangar doors can only be activated using a single tile etc.

Transparency not working on 3D map tiles

Some 3D map tiles should be rendered with translucency, e.g. windows etc.

Add double thickness button frames

Some buttons, e.g. the page 1,2,3 buttons in the inventory, use a two pixel thick border. UAlbion should replicate this behaviour.

Port to Android

Once .NET 6 is released, it should be possible for UAlbion to target the Android platform using the OpenGL ES and Vulkan backends. Work will also need to be done to support a touch interface.

2D Player movement can result in loops

In some locations, holding two direction keys can result in the party shuffling back and forth across an obstruction, e.g. holding up and left near the lower sleeping quarters staircase of the Hunter's Guild.

Add minimap

A good usability improvement would be to add a small minimap view to the corner of the screen in 3D levels. There should also be a config setting to enable or disable this setting, for those seeking a more traditional experience.

Add collision detection for 3D levels

Currently no collision checks are performed on 3D levels, whether for level geometry or other entities (NPCs, monsters, props etc). Collision should behave at least reasonably similarly to the original game.

Port to Raspberry Pi

The Raspberry Pi platform now supports vulkan as well as OpenGL, and can run the .NET 5 runtime, it would be good if we could get UAlbion to run on it (this would also provide a good low-performance test target for optimisation / benchmarking).

Hang in loadgame dialog

When loading game from main menu and no saved games are present, the dialog hangs. ESC will produce error in screenshot.

OS: Xubuntu 20.04

Alternative Albion re-implementations

The only Albion re-implementation I could find is FreeAlbion. I wonder if that could help to speed-up the development of this one.

Add 3D tile visibility detection and sorting

When rendering the extruded tilemap for a level, only the visible tiles should be rendered by the GPU to reduce wasted effort, overdraw etc. Additionally, tile instances should be sorted in near-to-far order for all fully opaque tiles, then far-to-near order for translucent tiles (but after opaque sprites have been drawn).

Fix half-tile offsets on 3D maps

Some 3D maps have all objects offset from where they should be by a half tile. The map formats should be investigated further to find which unknown factors are involved in map object positioning.

Inventory screen not working on 3D levels

It should be possible to show and interact with the inventory screen normally when on a 3D level.
