Re: [Download] Mirage Source 3.75 beta - Rebjorn - 19-02-2009

THANK YOU SO MUCH DFA! These are wonderful releases, and please keep up the good job!
Appreciated, Rebjorn.

use velocity and set speed from 1-5 instead of 2 set speeds so that way if you hold down the key your player will slowly start up then being to move fast till you let off and he stops. i think that is better than walk and run. but even though I'm not the greatest person i will start to look into it myself as well.
I don't know how i did it but i fixed it.
Re: [Download] Mirage Source 3.75 beta - timster0 - 19-02-2009
Well, I've been thinking. I think that running should be removed. because PvP with everyone running around when they're almost dead completely ruins it. Also, I've been thinking about making a "sprint" spell that would make whoever you targeted (yourself included) "run" for 30 seconds.
Re: [Download] Mirage Source 3.75 beta - Aydan - 19-02-2009
its not really a bug but more a suggestion, when you warp to other maps from a warp tile the the npcs on the previous map show on the new map for a second or so, same with your player, the position yo u were at on the previous map you are on i nthe new map then a second or so later it swaps. looks real ugly. Robin mentioned making it so the map doesn't blit right away when you warp. I guess it's easy enough but I figured I'd letcha know to fix it in future release.

I played it when it didn't even have membership. Classic, and I loved it.
It was my first online game so I fell in love with it.
Re: [Download] Mirage Source 3.75 beta - Rebjorn - 20-02-2009
PK was a waste of time tho. I also played it back then, before it got membershat.
Sell does' good ol' lobzterss :b

I just wanted to point out that even though people run around after they are almost dead, it only works because everyone is the same speed. Removing running just means people would still run away, only in slow motion. Walking away
. Maybe you can have a set running speed that decreases as the % of HP you have goes down.
Re: [Download] Mirage Source 3.75 beta - Acruno - 20-02-2009
What about actually making SP useful?
I can only assume it stands for Stamina points, so why not have it decrease with running? It's the way I have it set up.
Re: [Download] Mirage Source 3.75 beta - Matt - 20-02-2009
I just wanna point out that the npcs don't "skip". They dissappear and when that happens, you can see the names (if you have them showing) but the actual npc is NOT below the name, it's a few tiles off in some other direction, with no sprite. They also don't walk smoothly, they just jump from tile to tile.
Me and Dugor fixed it in my source and I'm pretty sure I posted the code that he came up with.
Re: [Download] Mirage Source 3.75 beta - genusis - 20-02-2009
well they where skipping with the fps at 32 at one point in a fresh download of it then i unlocked the fps it was fine then i locked them and it happened again so i ignored it then started to edit somethings and it went away on its own ?
Re: [Download] Mirage Source 3.75 beta - timster0 - 20-02-2009
I might make SP as Skill-Points, use them to use skills. Skills and Skill points will be like non-magic classes' spells and MP.

Sounds great.
Re: [Download] Mirage Source 3.75 beta - genusis - 21-02-2009
I'm doing a leveling system and removing skill points ^^. And would it be possible to use case statements in the gameloop to help speed it up more?

Matt Wrote:If you kill npcs on a map, walk off the map, then come back, they don't show properly.
I talked to Dugor about this and he came up with the start of how to fix it, this will make them appear if they move, but they still go poof.
HandleSpawnNpc - client side
Code:Dim i As Long
At the bottom of the sub, before "End Sub" add this:
Code:High_Npc_Index = 0
For n = 1 To MAX_MAP_NPCS
If MapNpc(n).Num > 0 Then
High_Npc_Index = High_Npc_Index + 1
End If
Next

3.77 today
Huh really?
Re: [Download] Mirage Source 3.77 beta - GIAKEN - 01-03-2009
Yeah better performance but more memory used (performance over memory usage any day?).
