in academics, so it took me far longer than I would like to admit to realize that the 0/360 degrees point was at the top. I'm too much (or maybe too little) of a nerd, apparently.

But it ain't as bad as it sounds. The game will (probably) differ between a full block where you hit the full appropriate block and a "half block" where you generally got the right direction of the block but "just" parry due to the physics. Something like that...
But as ptx wrote, everything is more or less still changing and moving. I'm just trying to give a general idea about it.
I think the 360° thing is different than one might think - iirc the animations are supposed to blend in a way that it looks like a 360° system but with 8 directions? That's just me more guessing than knowing tho.
The "360° system" for the lack of a better term, is already working. I'll quote an older message from the alpha forum:
Technically it is 12 attack animations: 2 for [45,135,225,315]º and one for [0,90,180,270]º, where 315-45º are considered overheads, 45-135º right swing, and so on. When you attack, the engine blends between the closest two animations, the balance between them depending on the exact attack angle.

Yeah, was thinking the same, except for layers instead, which I think makes more sense.

If you want any flag names to be added, post it in this thread and I'll add them if they make sense.

yeah, we've still got like 70 names free, so more can be added. edit: http://forum.meleegaming.com/scene-editing/siege-beta-flag-names/
I could perhaps split the spawn points into different props. For example, you place attacker_spawn_1 for flag with id = 1, attacker_spawn_2 for flag with id = 2, which means you don't have to edit the vars at all except for the flags themselves. That should probably make it easier to avoid spawns with wrong flag links.

« on: March 26, 2013, 09:18:20 am »Can the selectable spawn for the attackers have the ID of 0? This is convenient as the defender flags have to be 1 or higher. Is this attacker selectable spawn treated as just another flag? Can I give it a name similar to how I name the actual flags?Yeah, should work with 0 as ID. And yeah, treated as a flag in many ways, but won't show up with a name currently, but I'll change it so attackers can see it's name on the map.
