v0.2.0

This is a complete rewrite of v0.1.0 with a reduced feature set, but with a stronger emphasis on moddability. This is still very much a tech proof of concept.

Notable Changes

• Added support for loading/rendering of Tiled TMX isometric maps.
• Switched to Phaser framework (previously three.js).
• Switched to Gulp.js for build process (previously Grunt).
• Removed dependency on local file server for streaming MPQ data.
  • For the future purpose of moddability, assets will now reside in a local directory.

v0.1.0

• Initial release (tech proof of concept).

Features

• MPQ asset streaming via local file server.
• Partial town rendering.
• Basic player pathfinding and idle/walk/attack animations.
• Basic enemy pathfinding and idle/attack/die animations.

Installation (v0.1.0)

v0.1.0 streams files directly from the MPQ archive via a local file server, so it requires both client and server setup.

File Server Setup

1. Install Node.js (v0.12.x).

   • https://docs.npmjs.com/getting-started/installing-node

2. Install mpq-server via npm.

   • npm install mpq-server -g

3. Run mpq-server.

   $ mpq-server /path/to/DIABDAT.MPQ
   
   mpq-server running...
   ...port [3000]
   ...archive [/path/to/DIABDAT.MPQ]
   

Client Setup
