The all-in-one Bevy 3D game template for desktop.

foxtrot's Issues

Add animations

Implement sprinting

• Increase speed with shift
• Distort camera / FOV -> moved to #108
• Maybe add particles? -> #109

Make dialog not span entire screen

See https://github.com/emilk/egui/blob/master/crates/egui_demo_lib/src/demo/strip_demo.rs
I think I want something beween Infinity Engine dialog...

...and Breath of the Wild

Map talking to a keyboard button

This involves switching from a ui button to a label

Implement saving and loading

Add Wasm support

• Requires patched image: bevyengine/bevy#7588 actually, HDRis are of limited use in WASM anyway, see bevyengine/bevy#7592. Using 16 bit precision instead.
• Fix shaders
  • repeated
  • glowy
• Fix controls
• Physics are moon-like
  Extra stuff:
• Suuuper slow on Firefox. Look into it by profiling Bevy, Add a trace feature. Might just drop Firefox support.
  • Don't know what fixed this, but Chrome and FF are both equally laggy now. That is: crap, but playable.
• Sometimes, one needs to open the game twice for it to work. The first time kinda crashes.
  • Not Wasm specific: #129

Shadows dissapear after some distance

See bevyengine/bevy#5789
Looks like we have to move the projection with the player / the camera (careful, don't inherit the camera's rotation!) or switch to a point light for the sunlight. Using multiple directional lights / one per object stacks the light and causes weirdness, don't try that.

Control player via acceleration instead of velocity

Should help with animation feeling off and game feel.

The player can move through polygons at an angle

Maybe add another collider there as a workaround?

Use Leafwing Input Manager

https://github.com/leafwing-studios/leafwing-input-manager

Use less annoying sounds

Migrate custom dialog system to Yarn Spinner

Yarn Spinner, Documentation

See Turn Your Writers Into Programmers: Greyboxing Narrative with Story Languages
Existing Yarn Spinner crates like yharnam are outdated and don't support .yarn files directly.
Thus, this issue is blocked until someone (maybe me or @Mafii [wink wink nudge nudge ❤]) creates an up-to-date Yarn Spinner crate that includes a parser.

Update: We're implementing this right now!

The player's saved rotation is ignored when loading the game

The reason is that the object we save is not the right one. Only the one holding the player's model actually rotates.

Make clippy happy

Collision when jumping is weird

See dimforge/rapier#426 and dimforge/bevy_rapier#301

Add smooth camera movement

Use a system that sums dt and puts that into a slerp

Implement non-player focused camera system

Use this to focus dialog speakers

Grass meshes are added multiple times, but should be reused.

Allow recursively duplicating everything under parent

Switch to an efficient format for saves

See https://github.com/djkoloski/rust_serialization_benchmark

Interpolate character model rotation

Should help against jank when colliding with houses.

Find out whether we can convert the 32 bit textures to 16 bit

This relates to the normals .exrs and mayyyybe the displacement map .pngs.
Convert them and then re-add them to Blender.

Rotate player to active dialog speaker

Use bevy_pathmesh from crates.io

https://crates.io/crates/bevy_pathmesh

Floor texture is stretched instead of repeated

It seem from external viewers that the GLTF has been correctly exported, so the problem lies on Bevy's side, most likely due to bevyengine/bevy#399
Workarounds:

• Shaders #16
• Make repeated single texture
• Use tileset

GLTF loading sometimes fails

Race condition? Try to load multiple times, maybe the asset server isn't ready yet.

Implement NPC walking routines

Wrap `PrimedGameObjectSpawner` implementations into trait implementations

Allow interactions only when camera is facing the interaction target

Move dialog file to .ron

macOS builds are broken

Implement simple dialog system

Credits are outdated

See https://github.com/NiklasEi/bevy_game_template/tree/main/credits

Switch to a humanoid player

Remove imported stuff with [remove] in name

Useful for colliders. Add ToRemove component tag to them and remove in next tick to prevent errors from other systems that instantly manipulate new entities.

Handle new active conditions as they happen

Can be used to implement #10
Add conditions not directly, but over an event writer. This way, multiple systems with event readers can all poll for new incoming conditions and add them to the hashset.

Accessing saves crashes when save dir is not present

Just create it

Add procedurally generated grass via shader

See https://github.com/EmiOnGit/warblersneeds
GDC: Procedural Grass in 'Ghost of Tsushima'
Blog: Procedural grass rendering
Compute shaders: Compute Shaders in Bevy
BOTW: All Zelda BOTW grass techniques revealed
Grass in GRID: Rendering Fields of Grass using DirectX 11 in GRID Autosport

In general: Shaders for Simulations

Rotate character on movement

The character jitters sometimes

Allow changing/setting parents

Level editor traces are present in release builds

Map dialog responses to keyboard number keys

Move menu to egui

Allow spawning scenes from disk

Just read the .scn.rons

Setup error handing system with .chain and `In<>`

Add shaders

• [ ] vertex shaders Moved to #64
• fragment shaders #57
  (There are no geometry shaders in WGPU)

Find way to edit and load levels

I could implement a simple editor on my own.
Minimum:

• Register bundles w/ at least Name, Transform and usually PbrBundle or somesuch
• Launch editor using the unreal camera from https://github.com/bonsairobo/smooth-bevy-cameras
• Select registered bundles from list and place them in world with clicks. Scrolling shifts the "arm" range.
• Drag and drop
• Stick to sides of existing objects if they have colliders
• Add colliders
• Add stickiness override "colliders"?
• Display various values like width and length
• Override these aforementioned values

Open question:

• How do I get the object that is under my mouse?

Use ScanCodes instead of KeyCodes

NPC gets stuck on corners when navigating towards player
