Annoyed that some words aren't pronounced correctly and don't want to create autotexts / only care about correcting it for yourself? Make your own lexical additions (and share them if you want)! Open up the game's data folder (Windows: %appdata%\tko) (Linux: ~/.config/local/TKo/). Create a file called "lexicon.txt" and enter this text:
<pre>
# This is a comment
text : hh eh0 l ow0
</pre>
This is a lexical pronunciation file ("addenda") that is re-applied when you focus back in to the game. In this example, when writing "test" in the game, your character pronounces it as "hello" as spelled out by the phonemes ("hh eh0 l ow0"). You can refer to the TTS library (Festvox/Flite) [http://festvox.org/bsv/c4711.html phonome page] for a reference.

== Patterns ==
You can create custom body and clothing patterns for use in the game! Create the texture first using the appropriate template in the gallery below, and then head to the [[character creator]]. Make sure "Use simple shaders" is toggled '''off'''!

#Create a new character if you want to preview a new body pattern.
#Press Ctrl+Shift+O to open the file load dialog, find your file, and load it.
Or...
#Go to the wardrobe as any character to preview a new clothing pattern.
#Hold Shift+Ctrl and click the dropdown list to open the file load dialog, find your file, and load it.
Then:
*Preview how the pattern looks on the character. If you select a built-in pattern, you have to load your pattern again.
*Make changes in your art program and resave the file. When you focus back in to the game, the new pattern will be reloaded.

Pattern textures use the Red, Green, and Blue channel to 'paint' the custom colors. See the example below for how a pattern should look like - red where the first color should be at, green where the second color should be at, blue where the third color should be at. So, to make it clear, patterns ''only'' use red, green, and blue to know where to paint the customized colors! No white, black, or transparency!

Also, if you want to blend the different channels together (e.g. have a spot with multiple color influences) then you have to use the layer blending mode 'Add' to prevent the normal blending darkening the colors!

Some tips...

* As you're editing, pay attention to any visible seams or deformations using the posing keys! (Shift+G/Ctrl+G) Some warping is unavoidable, but if it looks good when standing or walking, it should be okay.
* Prioritize how your texture looks by itself over how it looks in-game, because in the case the shirt 3d model changes in the future, it would only try to make the patterns be shown more accurately.
* Please note that previewed patterns are '''not''' saved, uploaded, or otherwise visible to others! It's strictly an offline-only tool for creating patterns!

'''Kemoverse Online''' is a kemono-themed online social playground game where you play as a student of a school, (in lore called a "cultural disciplinary center"). Kemoverse Online is the realization of a worldbuilding project that lets you play alongside other players and participate in the duties and adventures available in the world of the Kemoverse.

The game is downloadable, free, from [https://kemze.itch.io/tko itch.io].

__TOC__
<div style="clear:both;"></div>
= World =
The game takes place in the [[Kemoverse]] world. The school and campus are part of the small town [[Khara]], a town deep in the forests of the northern hemisphere. You play as a Kemonae student enrolled at the school, which is a disciplinary center meant to prepare you to live your life in town. Through guidance and lessons [[Lore events|held by school staff]], you will learn the tips and tricks needed to survive and cooperate along with the rest of the town members, and you will find your purpose and duty!

= Gameplay =
[[File:Tko_20230507_234916.png|thumb|In-game meetup.]]
[[File:Tko_20230501_033237.png|thumb|Night time]]

As a new player to the game, you begin by creating and customizing your own avatar based on the two available species: Felinae (cat) and Canidae (dog), mixing and matching patterns and colors, as well as picking a character name. When you're done, your character awakens on the campus of school where Sera, the main protagonist of the game, wakes you up and helps you to safety. Merka, the head of the school, takes care of you and writes you in as a student. That is the beginning of your story in the Kemoverse.

In the campus, you will be helping out with many tasks that helps upkeep the place, such as hunting bugs, cooking food, sowing plants, cleaning spaces, and so on. All of these tasks are cooperative in nature, and relies on you helping out with your fellow classmate in order to keep playing. You also have the option to work harder in return for even nicer rewards, such as having your own personal room and items.

Aside from the mandatory tasks, you are free to socialize and participate in various events held by both the official game creators as well as other players, such as movie-watching nights, cafe nights or rave parties. These are completely free and does not demand anything from you.

= History =

Kemoverse Online was started in 2015 from various [[Prototype|prototypes]] in Unity.

Since 2018, it has been ported and continued to be developed in Godot game engine.

You can read a list of alpha builds here: [[Changelog]].

[[File:Parutko.png|thumb|Hello there.]]
Hello. I'm the creator and main developer of [[Kemoverse]] and [[Kemoverse Online]]. Cool stuff, huh. I've learned everything on my own - programming, 3d modelling, drawing, writing, animating, you name it. You see, creating is my passion. I love to create this virtual environment. It is my passion and duty. That's why I want to make this my main occupation.

== About me ==
Who am I? That's a good question. A netizen, for one, and a creator, for two. For the third.. I'm myself. My thoughts run deep as I wake up and tackle on the day.

I pay attention to a lot of things. The smaller details, the big picture. I have high spatial and empathetic skills that has been useful in worldbuilding and creating experiences for others. I have an easy time placing myself in other people's shoes.

Despite my neutral demeanor, I can be an emotional person. Emotions are what brings meaning and life to the world, right? The challenge is to control it. I do so by relying on my intelligence. I pay attention, analyse, put everything in context and come to my senses. There's always a reason for anything to happen.

== About Kemoverse ==

Kemoverse is my (not so) little project to make a serious furry game. I work together with [[User:Lumi|Lumi]] who I assign various tasks, such as making textures, write character scripts, create weathers and other such thematic elements. Meanwhile, I do everything else: all the characters, areas, moods, items, systems and interfaces, and I create everything in Godot, Krita or Blender.

Most importantly, I make sure the game is actually fun and motivating to play, and that there's no bugs and things are intuitively understood! I know it's a big task... but I love it! I hope one day we can work full time on this project.

I invite you to take part and follow along the Kemoverse journey, and hopefully you will get as much out of it as I do!

Scripting

2024-04-04T00:06:05Z

Amina: /* Cutscene */

Scripting is a way for characters to behave in-game. You can even script yourself!

__TOC__

= Introduction =
[[File:Inter.png|thumb|An example of a script with three options.]]
Scripting. What is it, anyways? Well, think of a movie script - you read it from top to bottom to check what you have to do or say next. In this case, the character script (which I call Action Script) directs what characters do and behave, including you. So if you script yourself, your character can start doing stuff by themselves without your control. A script is actually quite simple, it's just a text file that you write in the in-game script editor.

Every character has two scripts - a "life script" and an "interaction script".

* A life script runs automatically at random, so basically, it makes your character have a life on its own. It's used to make them automatically do stuff, like walking around, sitting down, think for themselves and generally act like an NPC.
* An interaction script is the script that does stuff in response to interaction, so when you (or someone else) walk up to an NPC (or you) and click, the interaction script will be shown.

Script files are divided in to ''options'', basically sub-sections of both life and interaction scripts. Options are important - neither life script or interaction script will execute if you don't have options. You specify options by beginning a line with "=" and typing the title after. In interaction scripts, writing "= Hello" makes others see a button "Hello" when interacting with you, and executes the script under that option when they click it. In life scripts, writing "= random 10" tells the automated life script to execute that part of the script 10% of the time, so essentially a random choice.

== SPC Mode ==

By default, the interaction/life scripts won't bother you as you play (you have to explicitly run the options through the "Run" button in the script editor). If someone wants to interact with you, you can approve that one interaction request by clicking on them and clicking "Answer".

However, there is a way to auto-accept any request and run your loaded scripts automatically - I name this '''SPC mode''' ('''SPC''' being Scripted Playable Character). You can enable it by pressing Alt+X or Shift+X. By enabling SPC mode, your interaction script auto-accepts any interaction, and your life script starts living out by itself, letting the game pick options based on the "= random" title.

While you typically have to load an interaction and/or life script to be used by your SPC manually, there is a way to automatically load these depending on the time of day. [[Scheduling]] is used to automate the what script is used based on the time of day.

= Examples =
==Interaction Scripts==
<nowiki>
= Say Hello
tn t
+ Hello there.
lk left
lk right
lk l
- I'll tell you a secret.
+ What?
- I have a snail in my pocket.
</nowiki>
Here's a short interaction script example. It presents and option to interact ("say hello"). Let's say that you wrote this script and put it on your character. If a player clicks on this option when interacting with you, it starts this script. Both players turn to each others, exchange dialog, and the script player (you) look to the left, right, then continues the dialog. As you can see, it's very easy to make a simple conversation. But there's way more than that! You can make your character walk around, animate, do facial expression... and such.

See the first word/symbol that starts on each line? It's the command - this determines what you want the character to do. After that command, you type in parameters to specify what exactly you want it to do.

==Life Scripts==
Let's talk quickly about life scripts. Life scripts are scripts that you can trigger to just happen randomly. They make good idle scripts for your SPC as well as allow you to automatically do somewhat complex tasks without any interaction.

<nowiki>
= random 50
mv forward
mv back
= random 40
tn left
tn right
tn right
tn left</nowiki>

With this script the SPC has a 50 percent chance to move forwards and backwards and if that fails... your SPC has a 40% chance to look around. Random allows you to trigger those sections of the life script with a certain percentage chance. You can also do <code> = random 100</code> to ensure the code always runs. In the next example, lets look at a script that always runs.

<nowiki>
= random 100
eq
eq fishingpole
eq fishingpole use
. 60
eq fishingpole use</nowiki>

This fishing script will always run and repeat itself. There is a 100% chance you'll cast your fishingpole, wait 60 seconds, and unreel hoping to catch a fish. This is a great simple script for automatically catching fish. Be sure to hit alt + v and run your character in Scripted Player Character mode, as this will automatically repeat your life scripts.

= Script commands =

== Communication ==
There is some ways to have your SPC talk, those interacting with you talk, display grey chat messages, and display big title messages.

Tip: It could be a great idea to take advantage of chat formatting codes in the [[Chatting]] page to format chat text.

{{HeaderNoTOC|SPC Talking}}
<code>-</code> followed by something you want your scripted character to say will make it talk.

<code>- Hello there!</code> will make your SPC say "Hello There!" in chat.

{{HeaderNoTOC|Interactor Talking}}
<code>+</code> followed by something you want someone interacting with you to say.

<code>+ Hi there!</code> will make someone interacting with your SPC say "Hi there!"

{{HeaderNoTOC|Grey Text}}
<code>_</code> followed by something you want in chat to appear in grey color.(People see this if they are interacting with you)

<code>_ Something spooky happens.</code> will make "Something spooky happens." appear and be grey in chat.

{{HeaderNoTOC|Big Title Text}}
<code>^</code> followed by something you want to see in big title letters.(People see this if they are interacting with you)

<code>^ Super Epic Title</code> will make "Super Epic Title" appear in giant title text in the center of the screen.

<pre style="color: red">Warning: The big title text does not disappear on it's own! Please remember to add ^ with nothing else after to remove the big title letters. It can be very annoying to have it stay on your screen.</pre>

== Movement ==
<code>mv</code> or <code>move</code> is one of the most important movement commands. There is various ways to get a character to move.

{{HeaderNoTOC|Move a direction}}
<nowiki>
mv forward
mv left
mv back
mv right</nowiki>

You can also specify how many steps you want a character to take. mv forward 5 will move 5 steps forward.
{{HeaderNoTOC|Move to an object}}
<code>mv to sera_hammock</code>

Tip: To get the name of an object you wish to move to middle click it twice while having the script text cursor at the place you want the name to be pasted into your code.

{{HeaderNoTOC|Move to an object with a specific distance}}
<code>mv to sera_hammock 3</code>

Move up to 3 units next to sera's hammock.

It also accepts decimals such a 0.5 units.

Tip: To get the name of an object you wish to move to middle click it twice while having the script text cursor at the place you want the name to be pasted into your code.

<pre style="color: red">Warning: It's important to remember that distance between something like worms, players, plants, and other objects will be entirely different depending on the size of their collision boxes. 50 units for a worm is way smaller than 50 units away from a lot of larger objects. In other words, it 5 units feels different with different objects, it probably is different. Experiment and find out exactly what distance you want per object.</pre>
{{HeaderNoTOC|Move to an exact spot}}
You can move to an exact spot in the world using coordinates.

<code>mv to -38.35 1.77 41.12</code>

Tip: To get the coordinates you can right click the life script as you are working on it and hit paste coordinates. It'll paste the current coordinates you are standing on. This is very helpful.

{{HeaderNoTOC|Stop moving}}
<code>mv</code> to stop moving.

==Turning==
<code>turn</code> or <code>tn</code> is a command used to turn your character.

{{HeaderNoTOC|Turn to a compass direction}}
<nowiki>
tn north
tn west
tn east
tn south</nowiki>

{{HeaderNoTOC|Turn to face an object}}
<nowiki>
tn to sera_hammock</nowiki>

Tip: To get the name of an object you wish to turn to middle click it twice while having the script text cursor at the place you want the name to be pasted into your code.

{{HeaderNoTOC|Turn to an exact spot}}
You can turn to an exact spot in the world using coordinates.

<nowiki>
tn to -38.35 1.77 41.12</nowiki>

Tip: To get the coordinates you can right click the life script as you are working on it and hit paste coordinates. It'll paste the current coordinates you are standing on. This is very helpful.

{{HeaderNoTOC|Turn around a specified number of degrees}}
<pre style="color: red">Warning: This command is likely bugged as of ALPHA 12(0.11.1). Specifying the number of degrees doesn't actually seem to properly turn you the number of degrees specified. Sometimes this command leads to randomized results as well with turning to random directions.</pre>

You can turn a certain number of degrees with <code>tn around</code>.

<code>tn around 50</code> will make you turn around 50 degrees.

{{HeaderNoTOC|Stop turning}}
<code>tn</code> to stop turning.

==Looking==
<code>lk</code> or <code>look</code> is a command used to turn your head to look at something.

{{HeaderNoTOC|Look to a compass direction}}
<nowiki>
lk north
lk west
lk east
lk south</nowiki>

{{HeaderNoTOC|Look at an object}}
<nowiki>
lk to sera_hammock</nowiki>

Tip: To get the name of an object you wish to look at middle click it twice while having the script text cursor at the place you want the name to be pasted into your code.

{{HeaderNoTOC|Look at an exact spot}}
You can look at an exact spot in the world using coordinates.

<nowiki>
lk to -38.35 1.77 41.12</nowiki>

Tip: To get the coordinates you can right click the life script as you are working on it and hit paste coordinates. It'll paste the current coordinates you are standing on. This is very helpful.

{{HeaderNoTOC|Stop looking}}
<code>lk</code> to stop looking.

== Interaction ==
<code>in</code> or <code>interact</code> is a command used to interact with objects.
{{HeaderNoTOC|Interact with an object}}
Interacting with objects is fairly reasonable.

<nowiki>
in sera_hammock</nowiki>

You can also interact with an object that has multiple interaction options.

<nowiki>
in kitchen_chair 2</nowiki>

Tip: To get the correct interaction of an object you wish to interact with middle click the interaction you wish to choose twice while having the script text cursor at the place you want the interaction to be pasted into your code.

==Equipment==
<code>eq</code> or <code>equip</code> lets you equip, unequip, and use equipment.

{{HeaderNoTOC|Equip item}}
<code>eq fishingpole</code> equips an item in to its respective slot.

{{HeaderNoTOC|Use item}}
<code>eq fishingpole use</code> uses an item, similar to pressing the left mouse button/using "V". The item has to have been equipped already.

{{HeaderNoTOC|Unequip item}}
<code>eq</code> unequips your primary item (typically, the one you're actively holding in your hand).

<code>eq all</code> unequips any of your equipped items (which includes accessories and other gear attached to parts of your body).

{{HeaderNoTOC|Equipment list}}
A list of a few valid items to equip or use:
<nowiki>
watergun, fishingpole, waterbucket, glowstick, stickynote, spraycan, slingshot, shovelknife, catchnet, foodbowl, phone, planner</nowiki>

Most items are required to be in your pack before you can use them. Exceptions are phone and planner as they kind of just always exist.

==Facial Expression==
<code>fc</code> or <code>face</code> lets you make a facial expression.

{{HeaderNoTOC|Expressions}}
<code>fc happy</code> for a happy expression.

<code>fc sad</code> for a sad expression.

<code>fc close</code> to close your eyes.

<code>fc tongue</code> to put your tongue out.

<code>fc angry</code> for an angry expression.

<code>fc fear</code> for a fearful expression.

{{HeaderNoTOC|Make expressions for a length of time}}
<code>fc happy 3</code> will be happy for 3 seconds.

{{HeaderNoTOC|Stop expressions}}
<code>fc</code> to stop facial expressions.

==Play emote==
<code>em</code> or <code>emote</code> to play a specific emote.

{{HeaderNoTOC|Play emote}}
<code>em yes</code> will play the "yes" emote, the same one that plays with the chat command "/em yes" or when pressing "yes" in the emoter window.

{{HeaderNoTOC|Cancel emote}}
<code>em</code> will cancel any currently playing emote.

==Wait/Delay==

{{HeaderNoTOC|Wait for a certain amount of time}}

<code>wait 5</code> waits for 5 seconds before running more of the code. Mind the space! (".5" without space doesn't mean anything)

{{HeaderNoTOC|Wait until action is finished}}

<code>wait</code> simply waits until an action like walking, fading, or other things are completed. This is a great way to ensure finishing moving to a location.

<code>wait:Target</code> can be used to target an action wait for a specific character.

==Repeat/For Loop==

For loops allow you to repeat sections multiple times. <code>[ <number></code> begins a for loop and <code>]</code> ends it with all code between being repeated multiple times.

As an example <code>[ 5</code> followed by some code and <code>]</code> afterwards would run code 5 times. See the below example.

This allows the script runner to move forward and pause for 2 seconds for a total of 5 times.

==Camera control==
<code>cm</code> or <code>camera</code> lets you control cutscenes, cameras, and have a few cinematic controls.

{{HeaderNoTOC|Cutscene mode}}

<code>cm</code> will disable cutscene mode and resets the camera (ie. places it back at the player character)

{{HeaderNoTOC|Focus}}
<code>cm focus</code> returns camera focus on the player.

<code>cm focus sera_hammock</code> for example will allow you to focus on an object with the camera. The camera will rotate to look at the object.

{{HeaderNoTOC|Set position}}
<code>cm set (coordinates)</code> (for example, <code>cm set 60 21.51 2.90 -13.37 -0.29 2.43 0.00</code>) sets the camera position and aim.

This detaches from the focused item and serves as a "static" camera placement. You can get the camera coordinates by right clicking the scripting window and clicking "Paste camera".

{{HeaderNoTOC|Fading}}
<code>cm fade</code> creates a short black fade.

<code>cm fade 0</code> will make the screen black instantly.

<code>cm fade 2.5</code> will fade the screen from screen to black, over the course of 2.5 seconds.

<code>cm fade -1.5</code> will fade the screen from black to screen, over the course of 1.5 seconds.

Remember to put <code>wait</code> to wait for the fade. (eg. <code>wait 1.0</code> to wait one second after doing <code>cm fade 1.0</code>)

{{HeaderNoTOC|Fading to player}}
<code>cm fadeplayer</code> is a shorthand to fade to black, reset camera to player, then fade out (with automatic waiting).

Scripting

Scripting is a way for characters to behave in-game. You can even script yourself!

__TOC__

= Introduction =
[[File:Inter.png|thumb|An example of a script with three options.]]
Scripting. What is it, anyways? Well, think of a movie script - you read it from top to bottom to check what you have to do or say next. In this case, the character script (which I call Action Script) directs what characters do and behave, including you. So if you script yourself, your character can start doing stuff by themselves without your control. A script is actually quite simple, it's just a text file that you write in the in-game script editor.

Every character has two scripts - a "life script" and an "interaction script".

* A life script runs automatically at random, so basically, it makes your character have a life on its own. It's used to make them automatically do stuff, like walking around, sitting down, think for themselves and generally act like an NPC.
* An interaction script is the script that does stuff in response to interaction, so when you (or someone else) walk up to an NPC (or you) and click, the interaction script will be shown.

Script files are divided in to ''options'', basically sub-sections of both life and interaction scripts. Options are important - neither life script or interaction script will execute if you don't have options. You specify options by beginning a line with "=" and typing the title after. In interaction scripts, writing "= Hello" makes others see a button "Hello" when interacting with you, and executes the script under that option when they click it. In life scripts, writing "= random 10" tells the automated life script to execute that part of the script 10% of the time, so essentially a random choice.

== SPC Mode ==

By default, the interaction/life scripts won't bother you as you play (you have to explicitly run the options through the "Run" button in the script editor). If someone wants to interact with you, you can approve that one interaction request by clicking on them and clicking "Answer".

However, there is a way to auto-accept any request and run your loaded scripts automatically - I name this '''SPC mode''' ('''SPC''' being Scripted Playable Character). You can enable it by pressing Alt+X or Shift+X. By enabling SPC mode, your interaction script auto-accepts any interaction, and your life script starts living out by itself, letting the game pick options based on the "= random" title.

While you typically have to load an interaction and/or life script to be used by your SPC manually, there is a way to automatically load these depending on the time of day. [[Scheduling]] is used to automate the what script is used based on the time of day.

= Examples =
==Interaction Scripts==
<nowiki>
= Say Hello
tn t
+ Hello there.
lk left
lk right
lk l
- I'll tell you a secret.
+ What?
- I have a snail in my pocket.
</nowiki>
Here's a short interaction script example. It presents and option to interact ("say hello"). Let's say that you wrote this script and put it on your character. If a player clicks on this option when interacting with you, it starts this script. Both players turn to each others, exchange dialog, and the script player (you) look to the left, right, then continues the dialog. As you can see, it's very easy to make a simple conversation. But there's way more than that! You can make your character walk around, animate, do facial expression... and such.

See the first word/symbol that starts on each line? It's the command - this determines what you want the character to do. After that command, you type in parameters to specify what exactly you want it to do.

==Life Scripts==
Let's talk quickly about life scripts. Life scripts are scripts that you can trigger to just happen randomly. They make good idle scripts for your SPC as well as allow you to automatically do somewhat complex tasks without any interaction.

<nowiki>
= random 50
mv forward
mv back
= random 40
tn left
tn right
tn right
tn left</nowiki>

With this script the SPC has a 50 percent chance to move forwards and backwards and if that fails... your SPC has a 40% chance to look around. Random allows you to trigger those sections of the life script with a certain percentage chance. You can also do <code> = random 100</code> to ensure the code always runs. In the next example, lets look at a script that always runs.

<nowiki>
= random 100
eq
eq fishingpole
eq fishingpole use
. 60
eq fishingpole use</nowiki>

This fishing script will always run and repeat itself. There is a 100% chance you'll cast your fishingpole, wait 60 seconds, and unreel hoping to catch a fish. This is a great simple script for automatically catching fish. Be sure to hit alt + v and run your character in Scripted Player Character mode, as this will automatically repeat your life scripts.

== Communication ==
There is some ways to have your SPC talk, those interacting with you talk, display grey chat messages, and display big title messages.

Tip: It could be a great idea to take advantage of chat formatting codes in the [[Chatting]] page to format chat text.

{{HeaderNoTOC|SPC Talking}}
<code>-</code> followed by something you want your scripted character to say will make it talk.

<code>- Hello there!</code> will make your SPC say "Hello There!" in chat.

{{HeaderNoTOC|Interactor Talking}}
<code>+</code> followed by something you want someone interacting with you to say.

<code>+ Hi there!</code> will make someone interacting with your SPC say "Hi there!"

{{HeaderNoTOC|Grey Text}}
<code>_</code> followed by something you want in chat to appear in grey color.(People see this if they are interacting with you)

<code>_ Something spooky happens.</code> will make "Something spooky happens." appear and be grey in chat.

{{HeaderNoTOC|Big Title Text}}
<code>^</code> followed by something you want to see in big title letters.(People see this if they are interacting with you)

<code>^ Super Epic Title</code> will make "Super Epic Title" appear in giant title text in the center of the screen.

<pre style="color: red">Warning: The big title text does not disappear on it's own! Please remember to add ^ with nothing else after to remove the big title letters. It can be very annoying to have it stay on your screen.</pre>

== Movement ==
<code>mv</code> or <code>move</code> is one of the most important movement commands. There is various ways to get a character to move.

{{HeaderNoTOC|Move a direction}}
<nowiki>
mv forward
mv left
mv back
mv right</nowiki>

You can also specify how many steps you want a character to take. mv forward 5 will move 5 steps forward.
{{HeaderNoTOC|Move to an object}}
<code>mv to sera_hammock</code>

Tip: To get the name of an object you wish to move to middle click it twice while having the script text cursor at the place you want the name to be pasted into your code.

{{HeaderNoTOC|Move to an object with a specific distance}}
<code>mv to sera_hammock 3</code>

Move up to 3 units next to sera's hammock.

It also accepts decimals such a 0.5 units.

Tip: To get the name of an object you wish to move to middle click it twice while having the script text cursor at the place you want the name to be pasted into your code.

<pre style="color: red">Warning: It's important to remember that distance between something like worms, players, plants, and other objects will be entirely different depending on the size of their collision boxes. 50 units for a worm is way smaller than 50 units away from a lot of larger objects. In other words, it 5 units feels different with different objects, it probably is different. Experiment and find out exactly what distance you want per object.</pre>
{{HeaderNoTOC|Move to an exact spot}}
You can move to an exact spot in the world using coordinates.

<code>mv to -38.35 1.77 41.12</code>

Tip: To get the coordinates you can right click the life script as you are working on it and hit paste coordinates. It'll paste the current coordinates you are standing on. This is very helpful.

{{HeaderNoTOC|Stop moving}}
<code>mv</code> to stop moving.

==Turning==
<code>turn</code> or <code>tn</code> is a command used to turn your character.

{{HeaderNoTOC|Turn to a compass direction}}
<nowiki>

Tip: To get the name of an object you wish to turn to middle click it twice while having the script text cursor at the place you want the name to be pasted into your code.

{{HeaderNoTOC|Turn to an exact spot}}
You can turn to an exact spot in the world using coordinates.

<nowiki>
tn to -38.35 1.77 41.12</nowiki>

Tip: To get the coordinates you can right click the life script as you are working on it and hit paste coordinates. It'll paste the current coordinates you are standing on. This is very helpful.

{{HeaderNoTOC|Turn around a specified number of degrees}}
<pre style="color: red">Warning: This command is likely bugged as of ALPHA 12(0.11.1). Specifying the number of degrees doesn't actually seem to properly turn you the number of degrees specified. Sometimes this command leads to randomized results as well with turning to random directions.</pre>

You can turn a certain number of degrees with <code>tn around</code>.

<code>tn around 50</code> will make you turn around 50 degrees.

{{HeaderNoTOC|Stop turning}}
<code>tn</code> to stop turning.

==Looking==
<code>lk</code> or <code>look</code> is a command used to turn your head to look at something.

{{HeaderNoTOC|Look to a compass direction}}
<nowiki>
lk north
lk west
lk east
lk south</nowiki>

{{HeaderNoTOC|Look at an object}}
<nowiki>
lk to sera_hammock</nowiki>

Tip: To get the name of an object you wish to look at middle click it twice while having the script text cursor at the place you want the name to be pasted into your code.

{{HeaderNoTOC|Look at an exact spot}}

== Interaction ==
<code>in</code> or <code>interact</code> is a command used to interact with objects.
{{HeaderNoTOC|Interact with an object}}
Interacting with objects is fairly reasonable.

<nowiki>
in sera_hammock</nowiki>

You can also interact with an object that has multiple interaction options.

<nowiki>
in kitchen_chair 2</nowiki>

Tip: To get the correct interaction of an object you wish to interact with middle click the interaction you wish to choose twice while having the script text cursor at the place you want the interaction to be pasted into your code.

==Equipment==
<code>eq</code> or <code>equip</code> lets you equip, unequip, and use equipment.

{{HeaderNoTOC|Equip item}}
<code>eq fishingpole</code> equips an item in to its respective slot.

{{HeaderNoTOC|Use item}}
<code>eq fishingpole use</code> uses an item, similar to pressing the left mouse button/using "V". The item has to have been equipped already.

{{HeaderNoTOC|Unequip item}}
<code>eq</code> unequips your primary item (typically, the one you're actively holding in your hand).

<code>eq all</code> unequips any of your equipped items (which includes accessories and other gear attached to parts of your body).

{{HeaderNoTOC|Play emote}}
<code>em yes</code> will play the "yes" emote, the same one that plays with the chat command "/em yes" or when pressing "yes" in the emoter window.

{{HeaderNoTOC|Cancel emote}}
<code>em</code> will cancel any currently playing emote.

==Wait/Delay==

{{HeaderNoTOC|Wait for a certain amount of time}}

<code>wait 5</code> waits for 5 seconds before running more of the code. Mind the space! (".5" without space doesn't mean anything)

{{HeaderNoTOC|Wait until action is finished}}

<code>wait</code> simply waits until an action like walking, fading, or other things are completed. This is a great way to ensure finishing moving to a location.

<code>wait:Target</code> can be used to target an action wait for a specific character.

==Repeat/For Loop==

For loops allow you to repeat sections multiple times. <code>[ <number></code> begins a for loop and <code>]</code> ends it with all code between being repeated multiple times.

As an example <code>[ 5</code> followed by some code and <code>]</code> afterwards would run code 5 times. See the below example.

<nowiki>
[ 5
mv forward
. 2
]</nowiki>

This allows the script runner to move forward and pause for 2 seconds for a total of 5 times.

==Cutscene==
<code>cm</code> or <code>camera</code> lets you control cutscenes, cameras, and have a few cinematic controls.

{{HeaderNoTOC|Cutscene mode}}

<code>cm set (coordinates)</code> (for example, <code>cm set 60 21.51 2.90 -13.37 -0.29 2.43 0.00</code>) sets the camera position and aim.

This detaches from the focused item and serves as a "static" camera placement. You can get the camera coordinates by right clicking the scripting window and clicking "Paste camera".

{{HeaderNoTOC|Fading}}
<code>cm fade</code> creates a short black fade.

<code>cm fade 0</code> will make the screen black instantly.

<code>cm fade 2.5</code> will fade the screen from screen to black, over the course of 2.5 seconds.

<code>cm fade -1.5</code> will fade the screen from black to screen, over the course of 1.5 seconds.

Remember to put <code>wait</code> to wait for the fade. (eg. <code>wait 1.0</code> to wait one second after doing <code>cm fade 1.0</code>)

For loops allow you to repeat sections multiple times. <code>[ <number></code> begins a for loop and <code>]</code> ends it with all code between being repeated multiple times.

As an example <code>[ 5</code> followed by some code and <code>]</code> afterwards would run code 5 times. See the below example.

<nowiki>
[ 5
mv forward
. 2
]</nowiki>

This allows the script runner to move forward and pause for 2 seconds for a total of 5 times.

==Cutscene==
<code>cm</code> or <code>camera</code> lets you control cutscenes, cameras, and have a few cinematic controls.

{{HeaderNoTOC|Cutscene mode}}
<code>cm cs</code> will enable cutscene mode. Cutscene mode adds black borders and the top and bottom of your screen and hides the interface.

<code>cm</code> will disable cutscene mode and resets the camera (ie. places it back at the player character)

{{HeaderNoTOC|Focus}}
<code>cm focus</code> returns camera focus on the player.

<code>cm focus sera_hammock</code> for example will allow you to focus on an object with the camera. The camera will rotate to look at the object.

{{HeaderNoTOC|Set position}}
<code>cm set (coordinates)</code> (for example, <code>cm set 60 21.51 2.90 -13.37 -0.29 2.43 0.00</code>) sets the camera position and aim.

This detaches from the focused item and serves as a "static" camera placement. You can get the camera coordinates by right clicking the scripting window and clicking "Paste camera".

{{HeaderNoTOC|Fading}}
<code>cm fade</code> creates a short black fade.

<code>cm fade 0</code> will make the screen black instantly.

<code>cm fade 2.5</code> will fade the screen from screen to black, over the course of 2.5 seconds.

<code>cm fade -1.5</code> will fade the screen from black to screen, over the course of 1.5 seconds.

Remember to put <code>wait</code> to wait for the fade. (eg. <code>wait 1.0</code> to wait one second after doing <code>cm fade 1.0</code>)

{{HeaderNoTOC|Fading to player}}
<code>cm fadeplayer</code> is a shorthand to fade to black, reset camera to player, then fade out (with automatic waiting).

{{HeaderNoTOC|Dissolving}}
<code>cm dissolve</code> creates a short dissolve effect (a snapshot of the screen is faded out to a new shot).

{{HeaderNoTOC|Blurring}}
<code>cm blur 2.0</code> toggles a blurry effect on the screen with 2.0x power.

Scripting

Amina: /* Cutscene */

Scripting is a way for characters to behave in-game. You can even script yourself!

__TOC__

= Introduction =
[[File:Inter.png|thumb|An example of a script with three options.]]
Scripting. What is it, anyways? Well, think of a movie script - you read it from top to bottom to check what you have to do or say next. In this case, the character script (which I call Action Script) directs what characters do and behave, including you. So if you script yourself, your character can start doing stuff by themselves without your control. A script is actually quite simple, it's just a text file that you write in the in-game script editor.

Every character has two scripts - a "life script" and an "interaction script".

* A life script runs automatically at random, so basically, it makes your character have a life on its own. It's used to make them automatically do stuff, like walking around, sitting down, think for themselves and generally act like an NPC.
* An interaction script is the script that does stuff in response to interaction, so when you (or someone else) walk up to an NPC (or you) and click, the interaction script will be shown.

Script files are divided in to ''options'', basically sub-sections of both life and interaction scripts. Options are important - neither life script or interaction script will execute if you don't have options. You specify options by beginning a line with "=" and typing the title after. In interaction scripts, writing "= Hello" makes others see a button "Hello" when interacting with you, and executes the script under that option when they click it. In life scripts, writing "= random 10" tells the automated life script to execute that part of the script 10% of the time, so essentially a random choice.

== SPC Mode ==

By default, the interaction/life scripts won't bother you as you play (you have to explicitly run the options through the "Run" button in the script editor). If someone wants to interact with you, you can approve that one interaction request by clicking on them and clicking "Answer".

However, there is a way to auto-accept any request and run your loaded scripts automatically - I name this '''SPC mode''' ('''SPC''' being Scripted Playable Character). You can enable it by pressing Alt+X or Shift+X. By enabling SPC mode, your interaction script auto-accepts any interaction, and your life script starts living out by itself, letting the game pick options based on the "= random" title.

While you typically have to load an interaction and/or life script to be used by your SPC manually, there is a way to automatically load these depending on the time of day. [[Scheduling]] is used to automate the what script is used based on the time of day.

= Examples =
==Interaction Scripts==
<nowiki>
= Say Hello
tn t
+ Hello there.
lk left
lk right
lk l
- I'll tell you a secret.
+ What?
- I have a snail in my pocket.
</nowiki>
Here's a short interaction script example. It presents and option to interact ("say hello"). Let's say that you wrote this script and put it on your character. If a player clicks on this option when interacting with you, it starts this script. Both players turn to each others, exchange dialog, and the script player (you) look to the left, right, then continues the dialog. As you can see, it's very easy to make a simple conversation. But there's way more than that! You can make your character walk around, animate, do facial expression... and such.

See the first word/symbol that starts on each line? It's the command - this determines what you want the character to do. After that command, you type in parameters to specify what exactly you want it to do.

==Life Scripts==
Let's talk quickly about life scripts. Life scripts are scripts that you can trigger to just happen randomly. They make good idle scripts for your SPC as well as allow you to automatically do somewhat complex tasks without any interaction.

<nowiki>
= random 50
mv forward
mv back
= random 40
tn left
tn right
tn right
tn left</nowiki>

With this script the SPC has a 50 percent chance to move forwards and backwards and if that fails... your SPC has a 40% chance to look around. Random allows you to trigger those sections of the life script with a certain percentage chance. You can also do <code> = random 100</code> to ensure the code always runs. In the next example, lets look at a script that always runs.

<nowiki>
= random 100
eq
eq fishingpole
eq fishingpole use
. 60
eq fishingpole use</nowiki>

This fishing script will always run and repeat itself. There is a 100% chance you'll cast your fishingpole, wait 60 seconds, and unreel hoping to catch a fish. This is a great simple script for automatically catching fish. Be sure to hit alt + v and run your character in Scripted Player Character mode, as this will automatically repeat your life scripts.

== Communication ==
There is some ways to have your SPC talk, those interacting with you talk, display grey chat messages, and display big title messages.

Tip: It could be a great idea to take advantage of chat formatting codes in the [[Chatting]] page to format chat text.

{{HeaderNoTOC|SPC Talking}}
<code>-</code> followed by something you want your scripted character to say will make it talk.

<code>- Hello there!</code> will make your SPC say "Hello There!" in chat.

{{HeaderNoTOC|Interactor Talking}}
<code>+</code> followed by something you want someone interacting with you to say.

<code>+ Hi there!</code> will make someone interacting with your SPC say "Hi there!"

{{HeaderNoTOC|Grey Text}}
<code>_</code> followed by something you want in chat to appear in grey color.(People see this if they are interacting with you)

<code>_ Something spooky happens.</code> will make "Something spooky happens." appear and be grey in chat.

{{HeaderNoTOC|Big Title Text}}
<code>^</code> followed by something you want to see in big title letters.(People see this if they are interacting with you)

<code>^ Super Epic Title</code> will make "Super Epic Title" appear in giant title text in the center of the screen.

<pre style="color: red">Warning: The big title text does not disappear on it's own! Please remember to add ^ with nothing else after to remove the big title letters. It can be very annoying to have it stay on your screen.</pre>

== Movement ==
<code>mv</code> or <code>move</code> is one of the most important movement commands. There is various ways to get a character to move.

{{HeaderNoTOC|Move a direction}}
<nowiki>
mv forward
mv left
mv back
mv right</nowiki>

You can also specify how many steps you want a character to take. mv forward 5 will move 5 steps forward.
{{HeaderNoTOC|Move to an object}}
<code>mv to sera_hammock</code>

Tip: To get the name of an object you wish to move to middle click it twice while having the script text cursor at the place you want the name to be pasted into your code.

{{HeaderNoTOC|Move to an object with a specific distance}}
<code>mv to sera_hammock 3</code>

Move up to 3 units next to sera's hammock.

It also accepts decimals such a 0.5 units.

Tip: To get the name of an object you wish to move to middle click it twice while having the script text cursor at the place you want the name to be pasted into your code.

<pre style="color: red">Warning: It's important to remember that distance between something like worms, players, plants, and other objects will be entirely different depending on the size of their collision boxes. 50 units for a worm is way smaller than 50 units away from a lot of larger objects. In other words, it 5 units feels different with different objects, it probably is different. Experiment and find out exactly what distance you want per object.</pre>
{{HeaderNoTOC|Move to an exact spot}}
You can move to an exact spot in the world using coordinates.

<code>mv to -38.35 1.77 41.12</code>

Tip: To get the coordinates you can right click the life script as you are working on it and hit paste coordinates. It'll paste the current coordinates you are standing on. This is very helpful.

{{HeaderNoTOC|Turn around a specified number of degrees}}
<pre style="color: red">Warning: This command is likely bugged as of ALPHA 12(0.11.1). Specifying the number of degrees doesn't actually seem to properly turn you the number of degrees specified. Sometimes this command leads to randomized results as well with turning to random directions.</pre>

You can turn a certain number of degrees with <code>tn around</code>.

<code>tn around 50</code> will make you turn around 50 degrees.

{{HeaderNoTOC|Set position}}
<code>cm set (coordinates)</code> (for example, <code>cm set 60 21.51 2.90 -13.37 -0.29 2.43 0.00</code>) sets the camera position and aim.

This detaches from the focused item and serves as a "static" camera placement. You can get the camera coordinates by right clicking the scripting window and clicking "Paste camera".

{{HeaderNoTOC|Fading}}
<code>cm fade</code> creates a short black fade.

<code>cm fade 0</code> will make the screen black instantly.

<code>cm fade 2.5</code> will fade the screen from screen to black, over the course of 2.5 seconds.

<code>cm fade -1.5</code> will fade the screen from black to screen, over the course of 1.5 seconds.

Remember to put <code>wait</code> to wait for the fade. (eg. <code>wait 1.0</code> to wait one second after doing <code>cm fade 1.0</code>)

==Wait/Delay==

{{HeaderNoTOC|Wait for a certain amount of time}}

<code>wait 5</code> waits for 5 seconds before running more of the code. Mind the space! (".5" without space doesn't mean anything)

{{HeaderNoTOC|Wait until action is finished}}

<code>wait</code> simply waits until an action like walking, fading, or other things are completed. This is a great way to ensure finishing moving to a location.

<code>wait:Target</code> can be used to target an action wait for a specific character.

==Repeat/For Loop==

For loops allow you to repeat sections multiple times. <code>[ <number></code> begins a for loop and <code>]</code> ends it with all code between being repeated multiple times.

As an example <code>[ 5</code> followed by some code and <code>]</code> afterwards would run code 5 times. See the below example.

<nowiki>
[ 5
mv forward
. 2
]</nowiki>

This allows the script runner to move forward and pause for 2 seconds for a total of 5 times.

==Cutscene==
<code>cm</code> or <code>camera</code> lets you control cutscenes, cameras, and have a few cinematic controls.

{{HeaderNoTOC|Cutscene mode}}
<code>cm cs</code> will enable cutscene mode. Cutscene mode adds black borders and the top and bottom of your screen and hides the interface.

<code>cm</code> will disable cutscene mode and resets the camera (ie. places it back at the player character)

{{HeaderNoTOC|Focus}}
<code>cm focus</code> returns camera focus on the player.

<code>cm focus sera_hammock</code> for example will allow you to focus on an object with the camera. The camera will rotate to look at the object.

{{HeaderNoTOC|Set position}}
<code>cm set (coordinates)</code> (for example, <code>cm set 60 21.51 2.90 -13.37 -0.29 2.43 0.00</code>) sets the camera position and aim.

This detaches from the focused item and serves as a "static" camera placement. You can get the camera coordinates by right clicking the scripting window and clicking "Paste camera".

{{HeaderNoTOC|Fading}}
<code>cm fade</code> creates a short black fade.

<code>cm fade 0</code> will make the screen black instantly.

<code>cm fade 2.5</code> will fade the screen from screen to black, over the course of 2.5 seconds.

<code>cm fade -1.5</code> will fade the screen from black to screen, over the course of 1.5 seconds.

Remember to put <code>wait</code> to wait for the fade. (eg. <code>wait 1.0</code> to wait one second after doing <code>cm fade 1.0</code>)

{{HeaderNoTOC|Dissolving}}
<code>cm dissolve</code> creates a short dissolve effect (a snapshot of the screen is faded out to a new shot).

Scripting

2024-04-03T23:54:15Z

Amina: /* Cutscene */

Scripting is a way for characters to behave in-game. You can even script yourself!

__TOC__

= Introduction =
[[File:Inter.png|thumb|An example of a script with three options.]]
Scripting. What is it, anyways? Well, think of a movie script - you read it from top to bottom to check what you have to do or say next. In this case, the character script (which I call Action Script) directs what characters do and behave, including you. So if you script yourself, your character can start doing stuff by themselves without your control. A script is actually quite simple, it's just a text file that you write in the in-game script editor.

Every character has two scripts - a "life script" and an "interaction script".

* A life script runs automatically at random, so basically, it makes your character have a life on its own. It's used to make them automatically do stuff, like walking around, sitting down, think for themselves and generally act like an NPC.
* An interaction script is the script that does stuff in response to interaction, so when you (or someone else) walk up to an NPC (or you) and click, the interaction script will be shown.

Script files are divided in to ''options'', basically sub-sections of both life and interaction scripts. Options are important - neither life script or interaction script will execute if you don't have options. You specify options by beginning a line with "=" and typing the title after. In interaction scripts, writing "= Hello" makes others see a button "Hello" when interacting with you, and executes the script under that option when they click it. In life scripts, writing "= random 10" tells the automated life script to execute that part of the script 10% of the time, so essentially a random choice.

== SPC Mode ==

By default, the interaction/life scripts won't bother you as you play (you have to explicitly run the options through the "Run" button in the script editor). If someone wants to interact with you, you can approve that one interaction request by clicking on them and clicking "Answer".

However, there is a way to auto-accept any request and run your loaded scripts automatically - I name this '''SPC mode''' ('''SPC''' being Scripted Playable Character). You can enable it by pressing Alt+X or Shift+X. By enabling SPC mode, your interaction script auto-accepts any interaction, and your life script starts living out by itself, letting the game pick options based on the "= random" title.

While you typically have to load an interaction and/or life script to be used by your SPC manually, there is a way to automatically load these depending on the time of day. [[Scheduling]] is used to automate the what script is used based on the time of day.

= Examples =
==Interaction Scripts==
<nowiki>
= Say Hello
tn t
+ Hello there.
lk left
lk right
lk l
- I'll tell you a secret.
+ What?
- I have a snail in my pocket.
</nowiki>
Here's a short interaction script example. It presents and option to interact ("say hello"). Let's say that you wrote this script and put it on your character. If a player clicks on this option when interacting with you, it starts this script. Both players turn to each others, exchange dialog, and the script player (you) look to the left, right, then continues the dialog. As you can see, it's very easy to make a simple conversation. But there's way more than that! You can make your character walk around, animate, do facial expression... and such.

See the first word/symbol that starts on each line? It's the command - this determines what you want the character to do. After that command, you type in parameters to specify what exactly you want it to do.

==Life Scripts==
Let's talk quickly about life scripts. Life scripts are scripts that you can trigger to just happen randomly. They make good idle scripts for your SPC as well as allow you to automatically do somewhat complex tasks without any interaction.

<nowiki>
= random 50
mv forward
mv back
= random 40
tn left
tn right
tn right
tn left</nowiki>

With this script the SPC has a 50 percent chance to move forwards and backwards and if that fails... your SPC has a 40% chance to look around. Random allows you to trigger those sections of the life script with a certain percentage chance. You can also do <code> = random 100</code> to ensure the code always runs. In the next example, lets look at a script that always runs.

<nowiki>
= random 100
eq
eq fishingpole
eq fishingpole use
. 60
eq fishingpole use</nowiki>

This fishing script will always run and repeat itself. There is a 100% chance you'll cast your fishingpole, wait 60 seconds, and unreel hoping to catch a fish. This is a great simple script for automatically catching fish. Be sure to hit alt + v and run your character in Scripted Player Character mode, as this will automatically repeat your life scripts.

= Script commands =

== Communication ==
There is some ways to have your SPC talk, those interacting with you talk, display grey chat messages, and display big title messages.

Tip: It could be a great idea to take advantage of chat formatting codes in the [[Chatting]] page to format chat text.

{{HeaderNoTOC|SPC Talking}}
<code>-</code> followed by something you want your scripted character to say will make it talk.

<code>- Hello there!</code> will make your SPC say "Hello There!" in chat.

{{HeaderNoTOC|Interactor Talking}}
<code>+</code> followed by something you want someone interacting with you to say.

<code>+ Hi there!</code> will make someone interacting with your SPC say "Hi there!"

{{HeaderNoTOC|Grey Text}}
<code>_</code> followed by something you want in chat to appear in grey color.(People see this if they are interacting with you)

<code>_ Something spooky happens.</code> will make "Something spooky happens." appear and be grey in chat.

{{HeaderNoTOC|Big Title Text}}
<code>^</code> followed by something you want to see in big title letters.(People see this if they are interacting with you)

<code>^ Super Epic Title</code> will make "Super Epic Title" appear in giant title text in the center of the screen.

<pre style="color: red">Warning: The big title text does not disappear on it's own! Please remember to add ^ with nothing else after to remove the big title letters. It can be very annoying to have it stay on your screen.</pre>

== Movement ==
<code>mv</code> or <code>move</code> is one of the most important movement commands. There is various ways to get a character to move.

{{HeaderNoTOC|Move a direction}}
<nowiki>
mv forward
mv left
mv back
mv right</nowiki>

You can also specify how many steps you want a character to take. mv forward 5 will move 5 steps forward.
{{HeaderNoTOC|Move to an object}}
<code>mv to sera_hammock</code>

Tip: To get the name of an object you wish to move to middle click it twice while having the script text cursor at the place you want the name to be pasted into your code.

{{HeaderNoTOC|Move to an object with a specific distance}}
<code>mv to sera_hammock 3</code>

Move up to 3 units next to sera's hammock.

It also accepts decimals such a 0.5 units.

Tip: To get the name of an object you wish to move to middle click it twice while having the script text cursor at the place you want the name to be pasted into your code.

<pre style="color: red">Warning: It's important to remember that distance between something like worms, players, plants, and other objects will be entirely different depending on the size of their collision boxes. 50 units for a worm is way smaller than 50 units away from a lot of larger objects. In other words, it 5 units feels different with different objects, it probably is different. Experiment and find out exactly what distance you want per object.</pre>
{{HeaderNoTOC|Move to an exact spot}}
You can move to an exact spot in the world using coordinates.

<code>mv to -38.35 1.77 41.12</code>

Tip: To get the coordinates you can right click the life script as you are working on it and hit paste coordinates. It'll paste the current coordinates you are standing on. This is very helpful.

{{HeaderNoTOC|Stop moving}}
<code>mv</code> to stop moving.

==Turning==
<code>turn</code> or <code>tn</code> is a command used to turn your character.

{{HeaderNoTOC|Turn to a compass direction}}
<nowiki>
tn north
tn west
tn east
tn south</nowiki>

{{HeaderNoTOC|Turn to face an object}}
<nowiki>
tn to sera_hammock</nowiki>

Tip: To get the name of an object you wish to turn to middle click it twice while having the script text cursor at the place you want the name to be pasted into your code.

{{HeaderNoTOC|Turn to an exact spot}}
You can turn to an exact spot in the world using coordinates.

<nowiki>
tn to -38.35 1.77 41.12</nowiki>

Tip: To get the coordinates you can right click the life script as you are working on it and hit paste coordinates. It'll paste the current coordinates you are standing on. This is very helpful.

{{HeaderNoTOC|Turn around a specified number of degrees}}
<pre style="color: red">Warning: This command is likely bugged as of ALPHA 12(0.11.1). Specifying the number of degrees doesn't actually seem to properly turn you the number of degrees specified. Sometimes this command leads to randomized results as well with turning to random directions.</pre>

You can turn a certain number of degrees with <code>tn around</code>.

<code>tn around 50</code> will make you turn around 50 degrees.

{{HeaderNoTOC|Stop turning}}
<code>tn</code> to stop turning.

==Looking==
<code>lk</code> or <code>look</code> is a command used to turn your head to look at something.

{{HeaderNoTOC|Look to a compass direction}}
<nowiki>
lk north
lk west
lk east
lk south</nowiki>

{{HeaderNoTOC|Look at an object}}
<nowiki>
lk to sera_hammock</nowiki>

Tip: To get the name of an object you wish to look at middle click it twice while having the script text cursor at the place you want the name to be pasted into your code.

{{HeaderNoTOC|Look at an exact spot}}
You can look at an exact spot in the world using coordinates.

<nowiki>
lk to -38.35 1.77 41.12</nowiki>

Tip: To get the coordinates you can right click the life script as you are working on it and hit paste coordinates. It'll paste the current coordinates you are standing on. This is very helpful.

{{HeaderNoTOC|Stop looking}}
<code>lk</code> to stop looking.

== Interaction ==
<code>in</code> or <code>interact</code> is a command used to interact with objects.
{{HeaderNoTOC|Interact with an object}}
Interacting with objects is fairly reasonable.

<nowiki>
in sera_hammock</nowiki>

You can also interact with an object that has multiple interaction options.

<nowiki>
in kitchen_chair 2</nowiki>

Tip: To get the correct interaction of an object you wish to interact with middle click the interaction you wish to choose twice while having the script text cursor at the place you want the interaction to be pasted into your code.

==Equipment==
<code>eq</code> or <code>equip</code> lets you equip, unequip, and use equipment.

Amina: /* Alpha 18 */

= Introduction =
This page details the progress of [[Kemoverse Online]] alpha builds. Alpha builds are unstable versions to test and implement new features. The final goal (and then upgrading to Beta status) is to implement the most important game mechanics; such as a gameplay loop, crucial social features, most customization options and make sure the idea of the game actually works in practice.

Pre-alpha was the process of porting the existing code from Unity in to godot, which mostly consisted of "existence" code such as being able to walk around, focus on things, turn your head, and load different scenes as well as implementing a basic user interface, character creation and few basic items to look around you. So basically, the essential stuff to get up and going. I released only a few pre-alpha builds as I was figuring out where to take this project, and until I had a clear view, I just wanted to get the groundwork down.

Alpha 1 was to implement proper character customization and multiplayer synchronization. For this, I created the Kemoverse Server that keeps track of players in the world as well as saving custom user data in a database that is directly connected to the Kemoverse Forums user account. The character customization was also updated to allow for individual coloring of either mesh parts or of texture parts of the clothes. Character customizations are made to be saved and loaded as a long text code.

Amina: /* Alpha 18 */

= Introduction =
This page details the progress of [[Kemoverse Online]] alpha builds. Alpha builds are unstable versions to test and implement new features. The final goal (and then upgrading to Beta status) is to implement the most important game mechanics; such as a gameplay loop, crucial social features, most customization options and make sure the idea of the game actually works in practice.

Pre-alpha was the process of porting the existing code from Unity in to godot, which mostly consisted of "existence" code such as being able to walk around, focus on things, turn your head, and load different scenes as well as implementing a basic user interface, character creation and few basic items to look around you. So basically, the essential stuff to get up and going. I released only a few pre-alpha builds as I was figuring out where to take this project, and until I had a clear view, I just wanted to get the groundwork down.

Alpha 1 was to implement proper character customization and multiplayer synchronization. For this, I created the Kemoverse Server that keeps track of players in the world as well as saving custom user data in a database that is directly connected to the Kemoverse Forums user account. The character customization was also updated to allow for individual coloring of either mesh parts or of texture parts of the clothes. Character customizations are made to be saved and loaded as a long text code.

== Hiatus ==
There was a year-long development hiatus due to life changes and the need to reflect on the content, purpose and goal of the game. The initial ideas and plan were very ambitious (but also open to change), however, the content beyond the school wasn't fleshed out and the planned features were too heavy. After taking this year-long break to think about the worldbuilding and the contents of it, it reached a more mature level.

Amina: /* Alpha 18 */

= Introduction =
This page details the progress of [[Kemoverse Online]] alpha builds. Alpha builds are unstable versions to test and implement new features. The final goal (and then upgrading to Beta status) is to implement the most important game mechanics; such as a gameplay loop, crucial social features, most customization options and make sure the idea of the game actually works in practice.

Pre-alpha was the process of porting the existing code from Unity in to godot, which mostly consisted of "existence" code such as being able to walk around, focus on things, turn your head, and load different scenes as well as implementing a basic user interface, character creation and few basic items to look around you. So basically, the essential stuff to get up and going. I released only a few pre-alpha builds as I was figuring out where to take this project, and until I had a clear view, I just wanted to get the groundwork down.

Alpha 1 was to implement proper character customization and multiplayer synchronization. For this, I created the Kemoverse Server that keeps track of players in the world as well as saving custom user data in a database that is directly connected to the Kemoverse Forums user account. The character customization was also updated to allow for individual coloring of either mesh parts or of texture parts of the clothes. Character customizations are made to be saved and loaded as a long text code.

== Hiatus ==
There was a year-long development hiatus due to life changes and the need to reflect on the content, purpose and goal of the game. The initial ideas and plan were very ambitious (but also open to change), however, the content beyond the school wasn't fleshed out and the planned features were too heavy. After taking this year-long break to think about the worldbuilding and the contents of it, it reached a more mature level.

Amina:

= Introduction =
This page details the progress of [[Kemoverse Online]] alpha builds. Alpha builds are unstable versions to test and implement new features. The final goal (and then upgrading to Beta status) is to implement the most important game mechanics; such as a gameplay loop, crucial social features, most customization options and make sure the idea of the game actually works in practice.

Pre-alpha was the process of porting the existing code from Unity in to godot, which mostly consisted of "existence" code such as being able to walk around, focus on things, turn your head, and load different scenes as well as implementing a basic user interface, character creation and few basic items to look around you. So basically, the essential stuff to get up and going. I released only a few pre-alpha builds as I was figuring out where to take this project, and until I had a clear view, I just wanted to get the groundwork down.

Alpha 1 was to implement proper character customization and multiplayer synchronization. For this, I created the Kemoverse Server that keeps track of players in the world as well as saving custom user data in a database that is directly connected to the Kemoverse Forums user account. The character customization was also updated to allow for individual coloring of either mesh parts or of texture parts of the clothes. Character customizations are made to be saved and loaded as a long text code.

== Hiatus ==
There was a year-long development hiatus due to life changes and the need to reflect on the content, purpose and goal of the game. The initial ideas and plan were very ambitious (but also open to change), however, the content beyond the school wasn't fleshed out and the planned features were too heavy. After taking this year-long break to think about the worldbuilding and the contents of it, it reached a more mature level.

Language

2024-02-17T22:22:58Z

Amina:

The language of the Kemoverse is primarily based on a linguistic design that was the synthetic result of the evolution of [[Neofur]]. Named Cyranese by an unknown person, it is the global language spoken by Kemonae, with a variety of dialects depending on circumstances. To speak Cyranese yourself, try to imagine your lips to have 1/4th of its strength and focus on a growling, guttural tone emitting from the back of the mouth.

= Introduction =
This page details the progress of [[Kemoverse Online]] alpha builds. Alpha builds are unstable versions to test and implement new features. The final goal (and then upgrading to Beta status) is to implement the most important game mechanics; such as a gameplay loop, crucial social features, most customization options and make sure the idea of the game actually works in practice.

Pre-alpha was the process of porting the existing code from Unity in to godot, which mostly consisted of "existence" code such as being able to walk around, focus on things, turn your head, and load different scenes as well as implementing a basic user interface, character creation and few basic items to look around you. So basically, the essential stuff to get up and going. I released only a few pre-alpha builds as I was figuring out where to take this project, and until I had a clear view, I just wanted to get the groundwork down.

Alpha 1 was to implement proper character customization and multiplayer synchronization. For this, I created the Kemoverse Server that keeps track of players in the world as well as saving custom user data in a database that is directly connected to the Kemoverse Forums user account. The character customization was also updated to allow for individual coloring of either mesh parts or of texture parts of the clothes. Character customizations are made to be saved and loaded as a long text code.

== Hiatus ==
There was a year-long development hiatus due to life changes and the need to reflect on the content, purpose and goal of the game. The initial ideas and plan were very ambitious (but also open to change), however, the content beyond the school wasn't fleshed out and the planned features were too heavy. After taking this year-long break to think about the worldbuilding and the contents of it, it reached a more mature level.

= Introduction =
This page details the progress of [[Kemoverse Online]] alpha builds. Alpha builds are unstable versions to test and implement new features. The final goal (and then upgrading to Beta status) is to implement the most important game mechanics; such as a gameplay loop, crucial social features, most customization options and make sure the idea of the game actually works in practice.

Pre-alpha was the process of porting the existing code from Unity in to godot, which mostly consisted of "existence" code such as being able to walk around, focus on things, turn your head, and load different scenes as well as implementing a basic user interface, character creation and few basic items to look around you. So basically, the essential stuff to get up and going. I released only a few pre-alpha builds as I was figuring out where to take this project, and until I had a clear view, I just wanted to get the groundwork down.

Alpha 1 was to implement proper character customization and multiplayer synchronization. For this, I created the Kemoverse Server that keeps track of players in the world as well as saving custom user data in a database that is directly connected to the Kemoverse Forums user account. The character customization was also updated to allow for individual coloring of either mesh parts or of texture parts of the clothes. Character customizations are made to be saved and loaded as a long text code.

== Hiatus ==
There was a year-long development hiatus due to life changes and the need to reflect on the content, purpose and goal of the game. The initial ideas and plan were very ambitious (but also open to change), however, the content beyond the school wasn't fleshed out and the planned features were too heavy. After taking this year-long break to think about the worldbuilding and the contents of it, it reached a more mature level.

Need a break.

New features:
* Middle clicking now shows a "walk-to" indicator.
* The eventpad now shows a number in the bottom right menu for upcoming events.
* Swapping existing cards with others has now been re-enabled.
* Rooms now makes use of Player cards for the room sign.

* Catching bugs now has a chance of yielding either a decoration seed or an edible seed.
* Holding the quickmenu buttons (bottom right) now triggers their alternative use.
** Toggling on SPC mode is now either holding X, pressing Shift+X, or long pressing the planner.
** Unselecting your focused object is now either holding C, pressing Shift+C, or long pressing the eye icon.
** Stashing an item away is now either holding V, pressing Shift+V, or long pressing the item icon.
* There are now special themed musics that can play for story purposes.
** Not that no solo play story content actually use these songs yet, but they are used for lore events.

Fixes:
* Fixed issues involving multiple hair styles being toggled on and off.
* Fixed eventpad events not being on the correct days in certain cases.
* Fixed silent player pawpads when starting game.
* Fixed random crashes and freezes when using kitchen utilities and tools.

Android version has several improvements.
* The game should no longer start with PC settings (should greatly improve performance)
* There is now an on-screen joystick to move around.
* You can long-tap on the screen to select where to walk to.
* Back button (and quitting on Windows) now has a confirmation.

New characters:

** Onrakh is a big dog teacher that is keen to teach you all about living in the Kemoverse.
** Onrakh is aiming to hold lore events every Wednesday.
* Merka now handles two things: Foodraise rewards and Getting a room
** The foodraise rewards are given out at the weekend, but only if the foodraise has passed. Everyone can get rewards but the amount of rewards are based on your contribution to the foodraise.

Interface changes:
* Occupied status now hides all player tags and suspends all interactions with online players.
** This is useful if you still want to go online, but not interact with people.
** You will appear to have a pause symbol next to your name to others.

* There is now an escape menu with an About, Controls, and Settings page, with a much more comfortable layout. This is much easier than cramming everything in the planner settings tab. That one is still in the planner, but will go away soon.

* The interface was cleaned up a little, such as the top menu.
** Autotexts now have a global toggle.

* Cursors and interaction systems were updated to be more mouse friendly.
** The cursor now indicates if an item is too far away to interact with. You can still select them!
** The camera no longer focuses on the selected object, making it easier to do /emote.
** Clicking around in the target menus isn't as chaotic anymore.

* Player icon in the planner is now fixed. I accidentally broke it before.
* The talk speed in settings was reversed to the correct direction.

* The chat log system was updated.
** You can now select text by pressing space and then selecting text.
** URLs in the chat are now automatically linked underneath.
** The chat log can be resized with the handle on the left.

** The chat should not jump anymore when people are talking.

Game changes:
* Forest music was updated with new day and night tracks.

* Various performance improvements, especially when zoning and starting the game.

* Bug with soil darkness was fixed.

* Fixed various physics issues
** NPCs no longer slide or bounce around inappropriately.
** Falling from height no longer zooms you out of the world.
** Certain unclickable doors or items were now fixed.

* Cutscenes now hide players trying to intrude.

* Shader differences between GLES2 and GLES3 were resolved.
** There should be minimal amount of light blasting on your character in GLES2.

* Random startup crashes should be a thing of the past. Should be...

* Starting up the game will put your character in the right rotation.

Story changes:
* The campus now has added lesson circles around the center tree. They don't work yet, but the plan is to eventually represent each 12 lessons on them with token requirements.

* Merka now gives rewards on a rotation, starting with four week variations.

* New (and first!) student NPC added: Takar.

<span style="font-size:150%">''Welcome to the Kemoverse!''</span>

This is the Kemoverse Wiki, the central information repository for the fictional worldbuild project [[Kemoverse]], its inhabitants [[Kemonae]] and its various events and eras taking place through centuries as well as the realization of it through the game [[Kemoverse Online]]. The characters, species, lore and stories are all owned and written since 2016 by [[User:Paru|me]].

The '''Kemoverse''' is the world in which all of the Kemonae characters live their lives in. It is the direct result of humanity's reckless attempts at furthering the human species and disregard of their biological heritage, which sparked a scientific accident that led to the extinction of the human era, and instead, started the Nova era and the Kemoverse world.

The world has become difficult to inhabit due to large changes in climate making it mostly uninhabitable, though, it has a developed sprawling aquatic and overgrown vegetative life that feeds sparse societies of Kemonae that hosts many different animal sub-species. Their language and culture is common as they all stem from one ancestor.

==Kemoverse Online ==
The main medium that this story is told is through the [[Kemoverse Online]] game.

__NOTOC__
[[File:Parutko.png|thumb|Hello there.]]
Hello. I'm the creator and main developer of [[Kemoverse]] and [[Kemoverse Online]]. Cool stuff, huh. I've learned everything on my own - programming, 3d modelling, drawing, writing, animating, you name it. You see, creating is my passion. I love to create this virtual environment. It is my passion and duty. That's why I want to make this my main occupation.

== About me ==
Who am I? That's a good question. A netizen, for one, and a creator, for two. For the third.. I'm myself. My thoughts run deep as I wake up and tackle on the day.

I pay attention to a lot of things. The smaller details, the big picture. I have high spatial and empathetic skills that has been useful in worldbuilding and creating experiences for others. I have an easy time placing myself in other people's shoes.

Despite my neutral demeanor, I can be an emotional person. Emotions are what brings meaning and life to the world, right? The challenge is to control it. I do so by relying on my intelligence. I pay attention, analyse, put everything in context and come to my senses. There's always a reason for anything to happen.

== About Kemoverse ==

Kemoverse is my (not so) little project to make a serious furry game. I work together with [[User:Lumi|Lumi]] who I assign various tasks, such as making textures, write character scripts, create weathers and other such thematic elements. I hope one day we can work full time on this project!

I invite you to take part and follow along the Kemoverse journey, and hopefully you will get as much out of it as I do!
