b_castle [REL]

[Thothie]

I have a treasure for the jump-test worked out, but I couldn't figure out which chest was the placeholder for it looking at it via ripent, I also couldn't test any fixes for the monster chain from here.

I intend to release the betapack within the hour, so I think it won't include the needed patch for this map as a result - maybe we can provide it seperately?

 

[Thothie]

It has been brought to my attention that this map is not on my website... Also that this map has no res file, so people who have tried to acquire it through other servers have been horribly furstrated.

Fixed that, and added it to the content server as well.

Next month the jump chest will be updated (may already be updated on the ultra-beta server). I'm doing this via script trix rather than map updates though. Took me awhile to figure out which chest was the placeholder for the jump chest.

 

[PBarnum]

Awesome. Thought I said something but could be (most likely am) wrong.

Now to edit the Frozen Summit because... I did half the map :?

 

[Thothie]

Yeah, but you didn't die for that! (Poor Avoozl)

Heh, I'll edit the map descript for next month (done).

 

[PBarnum]

Heh, very true. RIP Avo!

P.S. Thanks

 

[J-M v2.5.5]

Where is Avoozl anyway?

 

[The Man In Black]

I'm fairly certain he died. Seriously =\

 

[Thothie]

More likely got married... (cross fingers... Then again, that could be worse...)

Avoozl made ms_snow - and actually showed great promise as a MSC mapper - had some huge projects he was thinking on... Then he vanished.

 

[Sabre]

Yeah, cause you fuxed up his name too much

 

[Thothie]

It's one of those Lovecraft names that it's bad if you pronounce/spell it correctly too many times.

Cthulhu Fthaghen Ayaeee!

 

[The Man In Black]

Cthulhu - It's like God having a god, then that god having a god, then that god had a pet who had a god who had a circle of gods, with one supreme god named Cthulhu.

Yeah, he did a great job on the caves in ms_snow.

Sorry to bring this thready up again but, Thothie, did you change the bludeon chest to have it contain a reloc crystal?

 

[Thothie]

Bludeon chest?

Only two chests in b_castle that I know of. The jump chest, which containts various pots and a random "good" item (varying with the # of players), and the final chest, which contains serveral random "good", "great", and "epic" items, depending on the number of players, as well as your armor bits.

Still need to get your hat in somehow. IIRC you wanted it to increase elemental damage around the board by 10%, still need to get the system in for that.

 

[Tentadrilus]

Couldn't you just make it give you -10% resistance to elements or doesn't it accept minus numbers?

Anywho, I know the chest he's talking about. Shall I PM it to you?

 

[FER]

Well Thothie, you are missing a chest

 

[Thothie]

I should re-phrase - I only wrote two chests for b_castle, I hope he didn't stick another one in there without my noticing. >_> (Well shit, I guess he did.)

Well which chest did you use for that chest? Maybe I can work something out.

 

[PBarnum]

I thought I told you about that. I mean, there is no other reason to go to the right of the castle unless you want to die a painful death.

PM'd you.

EDIT: I just realized that the update is just around the corner. Will we get to see my armor or is that pushed back?

 

[Thothie]

You armor concept requires a new system. Said new system needs to be put in for titles eventually, so I didn't plain turn down the request. Everything's pretty far behind scheduel right now so it's not looking good:

Item Consolidation: 20% (shields, bows, most misc)
nm_sfor, mapping: 95%
nm_sfor, scripts: undamael (90%), wizards (0%), misc (40%)
lodagond sorc/blooddrinker scripts: 10%
belmont scripts: 1%
new item scripts: 5%
clientmsg 255: 50%

I've a feeling all we're going to have in APR2008a is bugfixes and support for Smuggler's Cove and maybe Ocean Crossing. I'm not doing any release until the 255 msg bug is fixed, so it may buy some time for something I can do on the road (unlike the 255 bug) to get done.

 

[PBarnum]

Sweet deal. If there is anything I can help with (something within my power) then send it my way.

 

[Belmont]

You don't have to hurry with my scripts - I want to make Verath better, because right now it's nothing much.

Also, you alredy have got the Fire Reaver, Greater and Normal fire elementals done, wich is really nice, the only thing that is missing is the quests, lesser and greater fire reaver (the elder fire elementals are not a "need", rather a nice add, but since you are alredy very busy, I'd preffer not to ask for 'em).
