Must have:
1. Real server loop.
2. Basic, but much needed, packet optimisations.
3. Much more user-friendly GUI (still with picture boxes maybe, but not with everything like it was *burgh* Took me days to work frmMirage out itself)
I think we should all stay focused here though, this is a basic engine we are creating.
We should not:
1. Work on any of the items, npcs, maps etc.
2. Add tons of features which people might not like (we need to keep it open to everyone)
3. Make the engine specific to one game genre (even though most people create western medieval, we need to keep the engine open)
4. Add pointless things like multi-server, IOCP, combat enhancements, pixel by pixel movement, etc. etc.
green = truly agreed
red= mum don't think so.
yellow = huh...OK????
well OK that's what he said. by the way i took the AI stuff out.
OK here i what i would like in the game that most of the people here probably couldn't do.
1. allow admin to create separate password for admin panel(use password once only every login)
2. I heard this from someone i don't know who but performance loops sub????
3. advanced npc kites tut. Very useful indeed if only i could get it to work.
4.visual inventory, equipped items, banks, shops. the majority likes visual stuff easier to find everything.
5.BANK:have all items in bank count as currency
6. advanced quest would be nice since know one else can get them to work. i bet you could William. ill also try to make a tut for that using Elysiums tut.
7.npc advanced speech like when you go up to talk it brings a chat thingy up with 3 options and when you chose them they activate certain sentences or whatever the you want the npc to say for that. i tried it convert Elysiums over to mine didn't work to well. still working it out.
8.options menu with turn on/off stuff for names, chat over head, emotions, hp, Sp, mp bars, tele support.
9. emotions. the kind that show over your head.
10. combat enhancements make the game more interesting surprise us. or you can give the ability to switch from the old system or the new system in options. would be interesting.
11. map editor outside of frmmirage so its a separate sub.
12.make it so you have a detail low or high button. for slow or fast computer's detail turns certain things off to make the game run faster for them.
ththththhthats all folks.
That bolded text should help you understand what I was saying a bit better.
