Release planning

Task: A task is needed to fully support an existing object or to include its full prospected functionality. Tasks are mandatory for a release. Feature: Features include whole new aspects of gameplay and are as long as not declared a task of but lesser priority. Features themselves are ordered by priority.

Category: Defines the area in which the task/feature has to be done; Engine / Script / Graphic / Sound / Conceptual Conceptual tasks are of course not mandatory for a release but indicate that until then a concept for the according feature should have been made.

Tasks

Basements

http://www.openclonk.org/homepage/icon_design.png Clonk Rage featured nearly indestructible basements. In Peter's Settlement Concept these kind of basements are planned for prospected fortified walls (like the castles in CR). The idea behind production buildings is to have light and quick to construct structures. A basement of equal strength - even if the production buildings are weak and easy to destroy - counterproductive and can even lead to exploitation in melee games. However, a method to place your buildings more secure is just fair. Think of something! Wooden planks that can be destructed easily (with tools?) in parts? Material rectangles created below the construction like in Clonk 4?

Cable reel

http://www.openclonk.org/homepage/icon_graphics.png The cable reel (Objects.ocd/Items.ocd/Tools.ocd/CableReel.ocd) is heavily used even in the first scenarios but it lacks a proper graphic.

Elevator case

http://www.openclonk.org/homepage/icon_graphics.png Export and texture the elevator case here: [1] Alternatively create a new model based on the criticism found after that posting. The case definition in Objects.ocd\Structures.ocd\Elevator.ocd\Case.ocd.

Features

Chemical Lab

Priority: High

See chemical lab in Settlement Design Document for a full description.

http://www.openclonk.org/homepage/icon_graphics.png A model for the lab. Matthias has begun with this.

http://www.openclonk.org/homepage/icon_script.png A simple inclusion of the producer library. Assign the dedicated products to the lab, remove the callbacks assigning them to the tools workshop. See that the player is fully able to construct a lab in gold rush.

Oven

Priority: High

See oven in Settlement Design Document for a full description.

http://www.openclonk.org/homepage/icon_graphics.png A model for the oven. Ringwaul has begun with this.

http://www.openclonk.org/homepage/icon_script.png A simple inclusion of the producer library. Assign the dedicated products to the oven. The oven is a mere extra feature in gold rush, so no specific balancing is necessary.

Big Mushroom

Priority: Medium

http://www.openclonk.org/homepage/icon_graphics.png Create a model (or maybe different ones) for the big mushrooms. Scripting is only a very minor task, copying the tree should suffice.

Armory

Priority: Medium

See armory in Settlement Design Document for a full description.

http://www.openclonk.org/homepage/icon_graphics.png A model for the armory.

http://www.openclonk.org/homepage/icon_script.png A simple inclusion of the producer library. Assign the dedicated products to the armory.

Inventor's Lab

Priority: Medium

See inventor's lab in Settlement Design Document for a full description.

http://www.openclonk.org/homepage/icon_graphics.png A model for the inventor's lab.

http://www.openclonk.org/homepage/icon_script.png A simple inclusion of the producer library. Assign the dedicated products to the lab (balloon, tele glove).

Shipyard

Priority: Medium

See shipyard in Settlement Design Document for a full description.

http://www.openclonk.org/homepage/icon_graphics.png A model for the shipyard. Ringwaul has begun with this.

http://www.openclonk.org/homepage/icon_script.png A simple inclusion of the producer library. Assign the dedicated products to the lab (airship).

Cotton Plant

Priority: Low

See cotton in Settlement Design Document for a full description.

http://www.openclonk.org/homepage/icon_graphics.png Make a little, fluffy bush of cotton.

http://www.openclonk.org/homepage/icon_script.png Minor task. Behaviour is very similar to wheat, so script copying will suffice.

Cotton

Priority: Low

http://www.openclonk.org/homepage/icon_graphics.png Make a simple object graphic that cover a use as raw material (wooly) as well as seeds for new plants.

Cloth

Priority: Low

http://www.openclonk.org/homepage/icon_graphics.png A simple object, no scripting involved, only graphic. But alter the components of both the airship and the balloon to include cloth.

Spinning Wheel / Weaving Loom

Priority: Low

Dependent on cloth

See spinning wheel / weaving loom in Settlement Design Document for a full description.

http://www.openclonk.org/homepage/icon_graphics.png Pick one of the two alternatives or figure out a neat way to combine both devices.

http://www.openclonk.org/homepage/icon_script.png A simple inclusion of the producer library. Assign the dedicated products to the building (cloth).

General object hit

Priority: Low

http://www.openclonk.org/homepage/icon_audio.png There are objects which are hard to fit into our hit sound scheme: rock hit / wood hit / metal hit (actually called weapon hit and located in the sword). Make a general thunk sound.
