Quote:Well the time has finally come. FPO 1.8 is actually finished at last.
The major improvement is Field Spells, which will cast a field of either:
Fire, Water, Energy or Earth (subject to change... only Fire available for now).
Eventually these will be expanded to casting such as healing squares, which will improve the healing speed of the player standing on it.
The Fire Field will, by 1.8.1, actually damage the player for burn damage if they stand on it, and for a short time after (unless they cast a spell to extinguish the flames from themselves, which has not been added yet, but will soon).
Also, for now, just so I can get the game out, the fire field is not animated, and is only the base fire spell graphic. This will also be changed for 1.8.1.
Other improvements since 1.7 are mainly spells and maps. Jobs are also added, but only the wandmaking job is available (but still needs to be mapped, but will be mapped this evening).
There is also some website integration in the works, which will be finished, hopefully, by Monday. Stay tuned for more information.
To download the game client, please go to:
http://www.fallenphoenix.org/fpo.zip (you will need WinZip or WinRar, or similar)
If you have problems with the DLL and OCX files, please run the included DLLRegister.exe.
And just a tip to new players, to get your house and wand, please go north from the first map, then up the stairs, then go right at the next map, stand at the stool in front of the candles. Then just say "sort" and you will be sorted.
Enjoy
Hope to see you all in game
I'll be on Dr Gavwando if anything doing the maps for the rest of the school.
