Heyas,
cleaned up the server installation sql scripts a bit.
The current setup provides
- 3 races (Human, Elf, Dwarf) and
- 3 professions (Warrior, Mage, Rogue)
- balanced race->ability/profession->skill values upon character roll
- a basic map to walk around and the needed objects (spawn points for player/monster)
But Lazycow wasn't lazy by all means! We have graphics for all three professions, different hair+bodystyles, a monster and working attack animation.
I think he will show some mockups soonish. Stay tuned!
regards
/D

Looks like it's really coming along. This seems like it could be a lot of fun to play at a LAN or something once finished  |

Well well... attracting players is indeed a problem. An iPhone/iPod-touch client could maybe increase the player base. Otherwise we will need an internet promotion tour...  |

 P-U-R-E Awesomeness :D The bats need evil eyes (to detect their facing) imho. Other than that: Great work! However, i doubt a bit that those mobsters are server side controlled? regards /D PS: Oh, and btw: I fixed that collision detection

Yes, the bat is not shaded, yet.  Here's a mockup for the status display. The equipment (helmet, armor, left glove, right glove, shoes, left weapon, right weapon) should be visible in the status-area and on the player-sprite. (although, a glove is only 3 pixels) |

Oh gosh wow etc.
Two of my favourite games being NetHack and Zelda, I am wholly in favour of this enterprise. I'd like to second what an earlier poster said and request a single-player version, though.

I'm hoping they walk faster in the final release. It looks like it could be quite absorbing if it was a tad nippier.

Hey thanks for your ongoing interest in Silverline. Unfortunately, DocJones seems to be busy, so the project is on hold. (If someone wants to tweak mysql-servercode, drop me a line) st33d: What's a tad nipper?  The game speed is limited by the uncommon server-design. It should catch up with Zelda-like games, though. |

I meant a tad nippier. As in move two or 1.5 pixels at a time instead of one. I wasn't critiquing the framerate, just the movement speed.
This is all moot of course until people have had a chance to play it, I was just going off what was in the animation.

st33d: I see what you mean. Actually, the current network-tests suggest that 2 moves per second will be possible. Internally, all objects move block-by-block and the client shows a smooth animation. So increasing the move-speed to 2 pixels won't help here. (But you never know, it could be improved in future)

Heyas, awww, shush! It's the end of the year, and we have crap workload to do. Unfortunately, it will stay this way at least till end of january. And then again at the end of february as we are relocating our server farm (not the silverline server farm). If anyone is interessted to take the stake and help me out with the server-side stuff, feel free to poke (not lynch) me. I would happyly grant you access to the sources to contribute regards /D |
