Dark Knite Engine

[DarkX]

Hey guys I got kind of bored and decided to release the 1.4.2 version of dark knite, though some features were not re-added when I downgraded from MSB1-to-ms3.0.3. I have not really had much time to work on it though because I am working on a 2d DX9 C++ game(which is a bitch!) but here's the engine.

Looks pretty cool.

[DarkX]

Thanks, are you new or new name? there will be more features coming soon if I get away from the C++ one.

[Ravuya]

He has a low post count so he is probably new and those are some cool features is it open source or closed

[Mattyw]

It's Closed Source. :S

[DarkX]

Thank you for pointing that out I forgot to add the link to the open-source one, but it's up there now if your interested in having another peak at the O-S version.

[chaoscauser]

Got any screenshots of it?

[DarkX]

Ok I stopped being lazy and updated my post with some screenies for you guys, so you do not have to download it to see it.

[DarkX]

Yes I got it working, it kind of helps that I am not using MSE I am using 3.0.3, I happen to be more capable of a programer then yourself. And I released the new version the links at the bottom of my first post, and I guess I'll post it again http://www.freewebs.com/mid-waytwistedga...1.4.2b.rar I updated the list on the first post aswell.

[Doomy]

is the mini map in this one?

[DarkX]

No I have not worked the rest of the issues with the Directx out, but I am hopefully going to have it ready within the next couple of days.

[DarkX]

Well, if more interest is shown in this engine I am hoping to stick with it, especially now, thanks to the help provided by Forte.

[Savages]

Ok, I was wondering whats diffrent between your engine and the others? I am posting because I am going to use your engine, because it has acouple of features that I want to use in my game. But I was wondering if you could develop some features for strictly me to use? Or are you just building a general engine? And if it is just a general engine, could I bother you for the current source?

[DarkX]

Hey, thanks for choosing my engine Savages, I am not giving out the source yet, I am writting a game as we speak so it's closed source. I will be releasing more versions and to answer your question.

1. This is a engine I am working on for myself.
2. It is closed source for a reason.
3. It is General engine for everyone else.

The new version will be out soon enough so, I would suggest not mapping to much, or remember how everything looks, I have some extra's that I am working on for the new release hopefully someone might be enthusiastic about, if you have questions PM.

[timster0]

Looking great! When your done are you going to make a nice GUI for it?

[DarkX]

I am going to work out a general GUI for it, and then a custom one for myself. I will hopefully have it finished enough to start making my game sonn enough but I have to work out pets and NPC spells first. So you are aware I have kind of put a hold on treasure chests and Player Housing to make the game more visual, such as inventory, spells, bank.

[timster0]

I'll wait as long as I have to. I'm gonna use this for my game as well.

[DarkX]

Haha, thank you.

[james1992_2006]

newest link was added up above, check it out!

[Poyzin]

is there an earlier version of O-S I can use? Because I would really like to use this and I can't change the horrible colors .

[DarkX]

You want a earlier version the O.S. that is there? I don't have one from a earlier time. Go to my site and look around, there is some source there.

[timster0]

I downloaded it and I cant find out how to make a Guild.

[DarkX]

Press f4 then key in your player name and the guild name you want. And f5 other wise to check your guild if you don't want to use the other buttons.

[timster0]

Thanks! Well, I'm gonna start making a game with it now.

[DarkX]

Hold off for a little bit, justin is making some bug fixes for the engine.
