95% of servers suck because of Deas?

Well I think the new offing system have improved but it could be less sensitive.
Like some times I have to be exactly alligned with a bush to lift it.

no dude, you totally got that wrong. 95% of the servers suck because you can't turn off effects like lights/smoke/etc with the stuffs on F3.

It was a joke, gossssssh. But I don't see how hard it is to allow the F3 thing work.

I do use those checks they should of turned off, I'll look into it.

how to mine for fish?

You don't mine for fish. The fish mine for you.

For the beginning the lights/weather/particles thing should work (up until after the castle) and what about fish?!?

Edit: Ok ALL particle/lights/weather effects should be able to be controlled by checking or unchecking they're appropiate checkbox.

Ok, been working on a new Baddie System. It's turning out pretty good. I have reduced the lag in hitting the baddie and it dieing tremendously. I will need some people probably tomorrow to test it and tell me if I can improve anything.

I will

looks alot better omega

Well, when ever you guys are ready, log on and tell me you want to test the baddie system and I'll warp you to the dungeon and I'll give you swords armors and such

mission affirmative

edit: mission complete :)

i'm ready

UPDATES

• (re)Created the baddie system, fixing bugs as I go, but seems to be working fairly decent. If you find any bugs or have issues/suggestions, post them or forum pm me.
  • Added a sound when you hit any baddie.
  • Better use of clientside part of baddies.
• Reduced the amout of CPU taken by the HUD system. ( Was using between 1.3% - 2.2%, now it's using ~0.07 - 0.09%)
• Worked on the Dungeon some.
• When your hp now gets down to one third of your overall HP, the BGM music stops and you get a warning sound plus a continuous heartbeat sound until your HP goes back over one third of your overall HP. This can still be turned on/off (like the normal BGM) with the B key.
• Few updates to the QMenu, when dropping an item it will ask for a confirmation that you want to drop this item. Also now you can cancel the dropping of an item when dragging it by pressing the right mouse button.

Well, I'm having issues with the baddie system... I would like to collaborate with via forum pm or email to help me think in new ways.

Overworld map of the first Dungeon no NPC and only the first floor ( 3 floors altogether, will post floor 2 and 3 tomorrow, hopefully)

Wouldn't be an overworld, but I see what you're saying. Looks neat.

Kinda is cause being a gmap but how does underworld sound? :p

"Overworld" is specific to the outside world. What you posted is a "dungeon", no more no less.

'Underworld' is more appropiate cause parts of the dungeon are under the overworld.

Looks neat :)

Here are the the second and third floors

the levels look like they'd be fairly boring, with just baddies to kill.

These are just the tile maps, no npcs, so it doesn't show the traps or puzzles and what not.

Varia's Map/compass for dungeons is running sucessfully and very optimally

Not a fan of the baddies having nickname-plates, they tend to ruin any kind of surprise to them.

They normally won't show. I did my water magic 'Soul Searcher' which displays their name and the color is their health. I need to add this feature to players though, as of right now it does show. No worries. ;]

UPDATES
Map & Compass script is completed and working smoothly.
Baddie system slightly improved upon.
Dungeon is nearing completion.
Fixed Bomb issue. Apparently the default Bomb weapon can override any script named Bomb or Bombs.

Map system reworked on. Smoother over all.

Small Map:
When you get the map it will just show the current level you are in
Shows where you last entered.

Big Map:
Hold M when you find the area map to open
Release M to close
While Holding M you can scroll through the map with the arrow keys.
shows players nick
Color of nick represents health (Red to Yellow to Green, Red being the almost dead, Green being in good health :P)
Displays red arrow over players head to easily find yourself when moving around map.
Displayers Area's Name
Show how many other players are in the current gmap
Shows how many other players are on the server

Both:
When PMed flickers the Players head with the correct PM bubble
Can click on players to open a PM Window
-Will add, it will show unopened chests when you have the compass for the area
When you get the compass it will show you and other players

As for other updates, worked on the dungeon a little bit more, updated some levels so they're not so blah, add a few more 'traps' and a semi-puzzle thing.

2 more levels and the big boss then the dungeon is done!

and then what?

Apply for hosted, next step in a PW life ya know. Kinda like learning to drive for teenagers.

1. hard work
2. more hard work
3. ?????
4. profit.
:)

nope @ profit :(

:\
abcDeas<-caps x)

Levels are done! Just have to update the map images with the dungeon map, make the big boss, and make more baddies to go in the dungeon. (Have 3 only right now, probably will make 3 more for this)

Just the big boss left. Afterwards I'll be contacting TSAdmin for inspection of Varia for Hosted

The dungeon is complete I'm now going through fixing issues, not knowing how long this will take it may be a few days till I contact TSAdmin, but soon everyone, very soon.

Will there be dungeons in the dungeon so I can dungeon while I dungeon?

Actually yes, its a multi-phase dungeon meaning you have to go back when you get an item that will allow you to progress in an area futher ;p

Well from what I read I guess we can finally look forward to a good Hosted server experience. Nice work.
