~~~Lands of Andesa - MORPG~~~
WIP

TEST NOW: re-written and strippewd-down engine. head to program announcemtns to download client application!

Currently I am taking a break from devleoping the online car mod, in the meantime my full attention draws on developing a p2p online RPG ('bout time really considering 4 yrs DB experience is decent enough fro me accomplish a task of this nature). No it should'nt be expected to be an immense universe compromising of over 1000 weapons, monsters, dungeons and locations etc... but it will be playable with weapons availible including weapon sysnthesis, trading between other online players and a few expansive and interactive maps as well as the odd dungeon or two!

Features so far...

Okay, this is the third day of development as I write this. At the moment the game has the following

--> GUI
--> Allows 8 players
--> Character inventory
--> Chat function
--> 1 WIP map
--> Controlled using mouseclick and arrowkeys for the camera
--> Dwarf models (i know i know you're sick of them )
--> Command menu using right mouse button
--> Sliding collision
--> Path construction algorithm (priceless code from VanB )

Features working on as i post this

--> Chat dialog for NPC's
--> Trading
--> Options menu

First of all, i know what you all have come for - screenies
So here, i present to you a couple of screens:

/ basic GUI. This is permantly shown. At present the character stas and inventory are implemtned as well as chat.

Thats all i have done so far so please give and C&C you want about this game. PLease don't ask for a demo until i frell like the game is fit for it.

If anyone would like to do some freestyle media, ideas, concepts or models then ask accordingly. I may have some requests

right, i'm not using multisync, in fact the only plugin im using is advanced terrain. I have coded the mp engine completely.

i don't know why i sed 8 players, it might as well be 256 players so pretend i said that

Generally when I play a game, I don't want the GUI to take up 50% of the screen. I'd work on polishing that up a little bit, unless more important information will be displayed in the future. Other than that, it looks like you have a good start.

I like it

@optical r: Looking really cool so far. I agree however that the GUI does take up too much space on the screen.

@GogetaX, someone starting one after you is a coinscidence, I got an idea on one, but just plan to do it when I have enough knolwedge to pull it off (and when I got a server, left home with a masters or pHd in Literture or Psychology )

Looks really good, I see you got a nice Neverwinter nights feel to it

thanks everyone...

@MikeS well...i did think youd think that but i find that its quite flexible to have such space, such as the inventory which will harness a lot of icons for equiment etc. Anyway i might implement a show/hide feature yet so dont dispair

@gogetaX - not really

@seppuku - thanks, even though i haven't actually played, let alone seen NN but can only mean im on the right track!

@GogetaX i found his thread - old one on WIP board, you can download and test and old version. I think ill port my code to his if i can

New Screens!







Okay i wsn't happy with using the leftmousclick to navigatew the platyer as it was frustrating and buggey as hell. So i've reverted back to the sconventional 'third person' method using the arrowkeys as movement.

Other features i have modified include the GUI (slight mod)

-->Added new mouse pointer
-->created fully working speech dialog box for NPC's (set to mouse coords for testing purposes)
-->re-did map and added some sexay objects
-->decided to use fog
-->modded day/night cycle
-->made shop inventory and player inventory (engine only)

I think i've made considerable progress since yesterday

any feedback apperciated!

Yes, a hide GUI option would be great. Just as long as you know what you're doing. The terrain and the overall graphics look very nice btw.

it WAS just a big sprite...but as i write this itve added the abilty to add icons and store attributes of items into arrys etc the only problem im having tho is grid snapping of sprite...its reletively easy in theory but my code is so big im finding mangment hard, its even in modules!

if your code is soo big, then spilt up the one source file to few as i did..
1 source file for chat commands, one source for functions, one for loading game etc.

looks very nice. Was about to suggest a new GUI, but you changed it. Just a tip: I did my item system using sprites. There were about 30 on the screen at a time. It dropped my FPS by 200, so I had to redo it. Now there is only words (unless you right click it for detailed info) so there is only one picture at a time.

I discriminate against discriminating people....

@optical r: dont put "sprite" command in loop, and it will work much better

also use set sprite command to get maximum frame rate..

sprite 2,0,0,10
set sprite 2,0,1
do

loop

Sprites are faster when not set, since the backdrop is already running.

thanks for the advicce people

@GogetaX: yeh but i need the sprites in a loops to update position smwith the mouse so its rather inevitable

PROGRESS: no shots at the moment until i can sort out this bug. A the minute im still working on the item sprite function, so far the user can move the sprites with mouse when selected and restores old position if the item is 'out' of the item panel. You can also restore 10 hp points with a standard potion by drag and dropping potion icon on player below if hp is 10 pts less than maxhp. This is slightly buggy ast the moment but is developing nicely

its in loop only when u clicking the mouse or something.. well so once u have cliked the mouse the fps will b down, but the rest of the game when the mouse is not clicked, the sprite will not take fps at all..

ok...progress:

>> inventory implemented - only one icon but can handle mulitple items and allows user to grid snap them and organise

>> dragging and dropping icons onto player will create effects, such as potions

>> built the market/village within castle walls

>> removed health bars until bug resolved

----- yet to add collision to village - will do next

beware: the number at the side is a counter NOT FPS, i maintain 100fps whilst in village so don't get ideas that the viallage is high poly


screens:







c&c appreciated as ever!
