Posted September 27, 2017 (edited) It would appear that the next logic step in Wurm's evolution would be to go "True 3D". I understand that Wurm is like 2.5D where all items are pictures and why we can't have nice things like putting stuff on tables and shelves and can only place on the ground. So Wurm doesn't understand actual height. I'm guessing this is why animals just run up mountains, because those are just tiles to them and probably all flat to them. I'm not asking about a new graphic engine and I don't know what would have to go into making Wurm true 3D, but was wondering if that's something that will happen with the game or not. Just curious and hoping a dev would chime in. Then we can put things on shelves and tables instead of in containers. Would like to put my shiny little things on a book shelf or table. Haven't seen a question like this, just about new graphic engines to look different which this is not about. Edit: I feel like I've asked this before, but can't find it.

Posted September 27, 2017 (edited) We are supposed to get things being put on top of other things (like a plate on a table), I think this is not a technical "true 3D Conversion" but rather that some of the collision work on bridges would form the technical base for other things-that-go-on-or-over-things Also referenced once by Rolf I think, in longterm future plans like being able to fly over buildings and superjump somehow get over fences. There is I think a Q&A where Rolf addresses this, I am still tracking that down. edit: this might be it See also Budda's post a few pages in where he says, "Doing this change would mean better collision detection and physics system. Collisions we have currently are very simple, line on the ground where a wall is - you may not pass this line (which explains infinitely high walls). New systems means 3d collisions, shrink-wrapped to models instead of the "that's close enough".system we use currently. This would lead to collisions on things other than fences and walls - guard towers (which has been wanted for a while), mobs having collision boxes, etc. All of this has been planned for a while, but is still in the very early stages - hence this thread asking for input." I think the animals walking up mountains are different and not a "3D issue" else we also could walk up mountains just like them past threads: https://forum.wurmonline.com/index.php?/topic/77535-how-would-flying-actually-work/ https://forum.wurmonline.com/index.php?/topic/123861-collision-clarification/ https://forum.wurmonline.com/index.php?/topic/133871-items-placed-on-tables-etc/ https://forum.wurmonline.com/index.php?/topic/121769-items-on-tables/ https://forum.wurmonline.com/index.php?/topic/146511-suggestion-for-tables/ https://forum.wurmonline.com/index.php?/topic/139332-place-items-on-tables/ Edited September 27, 2017 by Brash_Endeavors Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
