Hey there,
the next release should be show up the next days/weeks.
Today we had a big public testing on our sponsored server....
Many new things work fine, eg. the shopmenu was complete recoded for ES 1.5 optimization and you can now use names instead of IDs in the shopfile (more flexible, you can remove an item without sorting the whole list again) and you can restrict single items for races.
Also the user DB conversion works well.
BUT we noticed one critical problem.
For some reason, the server crashed several times on a new round, and we guess its the player saving/skills checking routine.
After that some levels are lost, because the new SQLite DB couldn't save before the crashing and the DB could also get broken, if it crashes during the saving process.
So there's still some time needed to fix that bugs. The code is getting more and more complex, so finding the bugs gets more difficulty

Could you possibly change how the race menu is ordered? Right now it's ordered by the # it is in the wcsraces db file, and when you try to re-order races, it changes what race a player is, depending on what the last # the race was at.
Maybe you could a variable to each race code that would allow server operators to change the order in which races are listed.
Just a suggestion.

Yeah an by the way change this unrealistic "hp+regen,boom,etc,etc." because it looks horrible and so ugly... It wasn't good idea at all
How about balancing races? That's what i wanted Ohh and about StinkyFax's idea - is it possible to choose "good side" and "bad side " races for T and CT?

I like phoenix idea alot !
I want to take frodos idea further..
Could you have race categories with some sort of group assignment in the race db, and menu
____________________________________
Choose your race style
1. Knifers (rapscallion, predator, succubus)
2. Alliance (human, elf, proudmoore, warden)
3. Horde (orc, undead, bloodmage, shadow hunter)
4. Blah Blah Blah (customrace 1, customrace2, customrace3)
-------------------------------------------
This way you dont only choose each race you choose a PATH or STYLE and that limits your RACE SELECTION.. or maybe keeps seperate list of total XP

yes, thats all on my list for v0.80!!
the races will be not ordered by number, the number is removed so that you can easily switch/remove races without bugs. Also, a no-xp race will be included.
that works already for the shopmenu, there you find no more ID's, just short unique names!
(problem for races: old record needs to be converted!!! eg. if raceid is "undeadscourge" it must convert level of raceid 1)
Then you can sort the races like you want, and all levels are correct
what do you mean Frodo?? The shortdescription?? You can disable it and I like the idea to see what a race can do.
Race coders can also post a funny quote or so, its no need to make a real short ugly description.
The default races are balanced quite good, I guess. (for shadow hunter, you will be able to buy an anti-wards shopitem)
good vs bad guys will be also come with v0.80.
also its a very good idea to introduce categories like for the shopmenu .... maybe in v0.81 or so
BUT, it's quite a long way to go....my server runs unstable!

Could you share shopinfo into menus like you have in shopmenu?

yes, thats also already done and working
you can also switch from shopinfo with a 7. buy button directly to the right shop category and buy the item.
Also, each category now has a little description, like the text on "changerace"

Would be more stylish and cooler, for example, Undead Scourge, instead of all those vamp hp, etc etc: "A great race for rushing enemy" or "Good for fast action" It really interest people and, you should know this, some people may don't understand what shorts mean... I really would like to see my idea @up. |
