INFO Latest Update News

Involves implementing hard code that was... Never implemented. So difficult and low priority, since you can just drop each other stuff - so it wouldn't affect the mining system at all anyways. Challenge to a Duel request has higher priority, but same issues.

I am *not* fixing the gold player to player transaction though, as we had more than enough experience with how badly that wrecked up the economy back in MS 1.35, and I know all the vets would shower all the nubs with gold in some sort of golden shower sex fest.

 

[Gurluas]

Remember that if you drop items someone could go and take them
thats why a trading function similar to the one from runescape would be good
and if mining gets added you can trade ores

maybe add smithing too so you can craft stuff
would give the rpg a new edge

 

[Thothie]

Ores are droppable, so you can trade them like anything else. If you want to exchange your tokens of romance, all ya gotta do is go some place private so no one pilfers them, so it's not a major deal. (Not worth putting anything else on hold over.)

I'd remove the option for now to avoid confusion, but I think it's client side (indeed, I think the only thing that is there in regards to this, is the menu option itself).

 

[Gurluas]

I still think a real trading function should be implented...
i dont want to risk
and what if the guy takes my item without dropping his?

 

[Tao]

And some different dwarf models, we just have 2.
Could need more for future works...

Maybe some friendly modelers could pick it up someday.

 

[Gurluas]

ability to play as dwarfs and elfs

 

[Tao]

That's not what I meant

 

[PBarnum]

you guys are asking soo much right now.

 

[Gurluas]

well i want some hard core updates...what about female model?

 

[PBarnum]

Its not just the code. all of these new player models need to be:

1. Modelled/Fixed
2. Animated/Fixed
3. Modelled a pair of each armor set
4. All weapons need to be fitted to new player model
5. New code and scripts need to be written (a lot?)
6. (not so important) New sounds for the players. ie a womans voice/grunts

 

[Gurluas]

there is woman voice...
and the model is there
just need to rig the skeleton and animation there

 

[PBarnum]

the woman model needs.... well it needs to be completly redone

 

[ceriux]

would it have the same animations as the male?

 

[Gurluas]

Does it matter... a sort of bad model is better than nothing...im tired of beign a male when i chose a female

 

[PBarnum]

I just think we have more important things to worry about

 

[The Man In Black]

Why does it not suprise me that Gurluas really wants to be a girl?

They won't have tails, Gurluas.

 

[Thothie]

Its not just the code. all of these new player models need to be:

1. Modelled/Fixed
2. Animated/Fixed
3. Modelled a pair of each armor set
4. All weapons need to be fitted to new player model
5. New code and scripts need to be written (a lot?)
6. (not so important) New sounds for the players. ie a womans voice/grunts

Or we could just do a reskin, stick on Liza Minnelli's face, and just call it a flat-chested girl.

Might even be possible with this latest attempt to fix this armor bug, but that's having issues of it's own... Good news is players don't spawn invisible anymore, bad news is that the armor bug comes back if you take the armor on and off, and players bodies do not display on the selection menu for clients. (But do for the listen server host - which is even more frustrating.)

 

[PBarnum]

horray for the good. boo for that bad.

 

[Gurluas]

i prefer the 1.0 female model

 

[ITS'aME'aMARIO!!!!]

the boneblade in the pack has a knife picture... um i was just playing 1.01 and the machete picture thing would do wonders as the new boneblade picture in the packs... i dunno if there is a way to do dis

 

[Thothie]

Yeah, we can use the machete icon instead... I've not been giving new weapons their own icons lately, due to their impact on the model limit with no real need. Hopefully we can figure a way to get the code to acknowledge consolidated sprites for inventory and then we can get new icons for em all.

 

[ITS'aME'aMARIO!!!!]

yipeehooray!

 

[FER]

Hows the bank system going. I can wait to store my items

 

[PBarnum]

I think the bank should have an initial limit on the things you can store. then you would be forced to have to pay more money to have 1 more slot (5000 gold per slot?) that way we dont have people raping their banks with a billion health pots and 500 arrows and such

 

[FER]

It would be wise that the bank can only store weapons and equipment
