#12 Make the estate button work

Find a way to make the gourd less flat, but still being able to build on (roughly) flat surfaces.
Some vector grid or something, but the biggest thing is how buildings can still be built (or can't on hills)

• Find a way to make the ground 3D and editable (while still being compatible)
• Add different types of ground (all non-changeable while playing)
• Grass (farms can be built on)
• Dessert (useless)
• Stone ore (for stone quarry)
• Iron ore
• Water/river
• low-level water (can be walked on but slow, to cross rivers) (just water with some stones in it)
• This should be able to be saved to a file by the load/save function
• Also a moat would still be able to do (a square block half in the ground is also a way)

Steep hill sides where you can't walk on would also be nice.
The terrain generation could either be done by perling noice at random, or we would only support manual made and ballanced maps.

The center of the minimap is exactly on the camera, instead of more looking to where the camera is looking at.
It might be a good idea to add screen boundaries drawn on the minimap, so you can see what you are looking at on the minimap. Although a lot of math is needed for this I think.

Make the controls speed time based and not frame based. now people with 240FPS are freaking out...

add some Konami stuff, or [SGA ](standard galactic alphabet) language somewhere

create a 15/30min to full regen to soldiers

There isn't a cancel build check when clicking in menu's right now

Finish the build menu;

Add repair icon
Add remove icon

Add all other buildings + icon

Make keybinds orange when they appear more then once. So you can clearly see if you have set 1 key to more than 1 thing

The wood, food, stone overview menu.

This menu need some live information on how much is in stock and such

5*5?
Like the woodcutter with options but then with stone
can only be build on stone ore

Still TODO:

• Save the terrain
• Sae the Graph
• Change messages to be displayed to the player
• Add pop-up window confirm if the user is saving over a different save, or deleting one. or loading a save
• Add loading screen? big saves already 'lag' the game

Maybe TODO:

• Add the camera position to be saved too?
• Maybe add an icon (screenshot) to each save?
• Maybe zip the project or something, to make saves smaller?
• Maybe add folder support, so saves can be organized?
• Maybe compile the save code, so objects are not saved by name but as a byte?

The Hierarchy is for example empty, so new collabs won't be able to build this project

when you shift build you can still build structures on top of each other

A new bug tiny is introduced today.
you can build on top of the fire ground of the Castle building,

Probably the raycast doesn't hit the collider properly? change collider (or tweak the raycast a tiny bit)

Somehow the BuildingsPopUp-InputDropdown() is triggered when loading a level (with closed gates)

Added a "if (SelectedBuilding != null)" tot the "void InputDropdown(Dropdown change)" in "BuildingsPopUp.cs" to work around the problem

Rewrite the input manager key binding code (to the other format, I don't want to use the library anymore, make a mess class for it)

This wil also make the code nicer, and add support for 'HoverOverText' to show what the keybinds do

Make a easy way to make icons automatically

#12 UI -
make an option to swap between the trading and mission info button.
Also fill in these menu's

UserInput - public void ShowMessage(string Message)

the message should be 110% size on start and then quickly shrink to 100%, this will make the message stand out when you keep doing 'wrong' stuff

2*2 with a 2 wide for the storage and the rest for the ox.
When clicked it can be set to move; wood or stone or iron.
When (first of this strike is) placed its set the closest building that produces one of those (if <20m) else it's set to wood. (this also really needs to be in the hints)

Application.targetFrameRate = PlayerPrefs.GetInt("MaxFrameRate"); //Set MaxFrame rate

#12 Fill in the graph button menu

• 1*1 size (for now?)
• 8*8 spread size
• 1 minimum gap distance from other trees
• Would grow slowly over time (like 5 min to fully grow)
• Full grown tree drops 3 logs (not planks! see woodcutter)

• You should only be able to build 1 keep per player (after that it would be disabled)

• Will hold 8 people

• #12 UI - Fight/command armor menu

just sums up the soldiers you have selected. a bit like how it's done in the StrongHold series (ByFirefly Studios)

If you click to build something, and then directly try to build something else it doesn't select that building. instead it select nothing and the hoverover text will keep following the cursor

So you can drag buildings from the menu into the game.
Now it's only possible by clicking

Normally duplicate keybindings will be flagged with a color. This does not apply to the Default keybindings.
When a user now manually set the keys to the same stuff it will be and this might cause confusion.

2x3 with a 2*2 building and a 2 wide wood storage next to it
When clicked on an option 'move by Oz' can be clicked (this also sets the new place default). This will disable the woodcutter itself from moving the wood to the stockpile, and store a little wood (1 load) at the woodcutter building that can be moved by Ox.
AI to the building, 4x get a log (stored in the building). Then saw the logs, then either place then on the side of the building, or walk them to the stockpile
When no exist and no planks in stock this building is free (probably to hard to exploit?).
Production, the woodcutter will produce 5 planks for each log (thus 20 planks per run)

Sometimes the drop-down menu of the popup menu doesn't work, it is shown and its set to something, the game doesn't crash, and I'm not sure why this happens (yet)

Start working on AI

• Peasants come from the 'Keep' and the speed of this is influenced by the happiness factor of the player (1 every X / happiness Seconds) [happiness can go above 100%, this will just boost the rate]

• Peasants will be tried to assign every (1 second?) to a building (like a woodcutter) to let them work

• Peasants will slowly leave one by one (every Y seconds) the castle when happiness becomes below 50% (till a minimum number?)

How to go about estates?

• empty estates (free for all/or cant build in/can be captured CTF style)
• Enemy estates (you can't build here)
• Friendly estates (you can build here)
• Free room (everyone can build here, it's the buffer zone

What happens to his/her estate when you kill an enemy?

• I would say you get his estate to build in (converted to friendly/empty yours)

in the menu Settings there should be some settings added, not sure yet whats the best way to go about it (let code generate it, or place them manually) but this is what it needs to be able to do

• Set options
• - Bool (on/off) [Edgescroll]
• - Byte (0-255) [Edgescroll distance] with a slider or just only a number input field

What options need to be in this menu

• Edgescroll (Boolean)
• Maybe something to be able to change the numbers in the Public Code? this might be overkill tho
• Game tick speed [Byte, 60 normal]
• UI Size [19020 x 1080] (Size of the space where the UI is) (#67?)
• UI Place [0,0] (Starting place of the UI) (#67?)
• Max FPS [0-255] (0 for infinite)
• Show FPS option

• 4*4?
• can only be built on iron ore
• Like the woodcutter with options but then with iron bars

(This building smelts the stuff to iron bars, which is just called "Iron" for simplicity sake)

Change mouse icon while Removing (or Building too?)
It's not clear if you are removing stuff or not, there is no feedback

When building is removed and not used before (used tag is set when the fist NPC has been there) the return cost is 100%.
Else it's 50%? Also it will move 75% of the stock to the stockpile and 90% of what the NPC is carrying if possible. '

There is a flag 'used' in 'BuildinOptions.cs' that when flagged does this, what is now needed is the trigger. I was thinking about a timer and just set every building to be used after X seconds (can be changed for each building) would this be the best option? or should things like walls only return less when there hit?

This message should appear if the player tries to build for <1 sec> but it can't be placed down there
(Don't show directly, since we are trying to build every frame. even if we have build something in the last frame and the player mostly pressed the button longer than a frame)

See in the code:

/*TODO FIXME
If this is hit for more than <1 sec> than show a message that we can't build there
*/

Make a (placeholder) prefab for all buildings

add a FPS overlay option

the wooden gate platform is 1 too low, and the whole gate should be 1 higher.

Maybe also add spikes or 45 walls at the bottom, since you can't build there and it might not be obvious

An option (Lock mouse to the window) like that:

On (Default) = Lock the mouse to the window, and it can only leave when in the menu

Off = No edge scroll and the mouse is free to move. Players should use ASDW and dragging to move around

After a level has been loaded/created the down menu settings are not properly set.

Click and close gate 1
And click gate 2, the drop-down menu isn't initialized and is still set to 'Close' while the gate we clicked is 'Open'
