Charter Mark Integration

Screen shot showing off the charter mark integration we just committed.

A few things have changed here, the most obvious being the fact that there is a flying charter mark spell. The marks were cast individually and linked up into a spell chain via attraction forces free radial marks have to each other/ends of spells.

In order to aim the marks, we added mouse support and an aiming reticule that circles around the player, pointing towards the mouse.

Things were a little slow this weekend due to some pretty nasty hardware bad luck, but we’ve managed to duct tape everything together into a working state for now…

Andy’s laptop got so hot it literally melted the solder off the power connector—so it dislodged from the motherboard Friday. After many days of failed attempts at repairing those solder points – and many trips to various hardware stores – we finally just replaced the entire connector with a homemade external solution, with wires in between.
