Addressed for 1.8.0

Postby Karl G. » Tue Sep 09, 2008 11:12 am

Features that made the cut:
  • fixed getting stuck in monsters (alphas, please test this)
  • prevent monsters from spawning in water/fix water edge
  • HP/MP doesn't go beyond box anymore
  • items show up on ground (alphas, give me feedback on speed of recycling)
  • spell now cast without the need to click
  • significant game speed increase
  • lower occurrence of "tearing" in full-screen mode (should make the game more smooth)
  • Launcher program:
    • Select between normal/sse/sse2 versions of the client
    • automatically download updates
  • getting stuck in mobs of monsters
  • significantly optimized game rendering loop

Stuff that didn't make this cut:
  • Allow client to see FPS on screen; make FPS manager more robust
  • add "hot corners" to show buttons for:
    • top left - taking action on things in the world ("private chat with", "trade with", etc)
    • top right - viewing static screens (inventory, stats, key settings)
  • introduce genisite, geosids, portals and the chaos plane
  • examine memory leaks
  • do something about items not showing up on the ground & being deleted too quickly after death
  • landmarks?
  • ability to delete characters
  • see race/class on stats screen

You just do a list within a list:
Code: Select all
[list][*]First
[*]Second[list][*]sub-second 1
[*]sub-second 2[/list][/list]

Sorry about this Karl, I left a shadow topic here in the ssues & Solutions side of the forum, I moved this over to the area in which people are most familiar with your updates in the:
"Evidyon Alpha - Private", any chance of removing the shadow topic for me from the Issues & Solutions side of things?

I have updated lists in the Issues side of the forum that are now dedicated to collating all the information, so I decided moving this topic was to most obvious thing to do. But I left a shadow topic by mistake :( :shock:

Any help please? :P that would be great!

Also worth noting is +stats from items not working (I believe)

I'm not sure about the stats-thing, never really tested it but i noticed the following:
Platinum rings give me less hp then bejeweled ones (+10 hp vs. +14hp) allthough the platinums have additionally +2 cons on them (now +2 cons might just be not enough to make it noticable).

More ideas that haven't been mentioned in the first post:
- Chatlog
- Class (and Race) shown in the statscreen (i met several people who have no idea what class they are lawlz)

Minor Bugs:
- The Evidyon Window shows the wrong version number (1.7.0 as opposed to 1.7.3 in the serverscreen)
- Some Items show '+0 MP' allthough they clearly add more then 0 mp :p

Less important additions for later use:
(- Storage)
(- Consumable Items -> Being able to stack Items)

Edit: As for the landmarks, i don't really see this as a big problem at the current state of the game. All you have to do is to look besides the path you're on from time to time to check what stuff spawns in that area. And most of the time monsters run around on the paths anyways so you have an idea of what's around you.

Yea Sankt that's why I believe +stats don't work. Also someone else mentioned in game they didn't. Imagine the damage you'll do with the additional +strength bone gear! =P

Also in regard to the item that has the +2 cons, how will that effect our characters? Assuming cons just affects our HP would this mean it works like a Salubris ring did in Xenimus, giving us a +% hp gain based on our base_hp rather than just a +hp bonus? If so could you change it to show us what % we're gaining rather than how much cons.

That's because it shows the client's version here and not the server's. I'll make that more clear.

Karl, I think you may have to delete the topic from this side of the forum :( but I don't think you should until you make the release official! :D

that would be awesome if you could do that, then that way the Issues & Suggestions side of things will be immaculate :)

Making amendments to the list within the Issues & Solutions forum, with the above.


All the Best,
Richard

- Respawn-Time for monsters should be shorter (not more spawn, just faster respawning)

If you allready changed something with too fast disappearing items it is not noticable. :/
Stuff still disappears when you move off-screen and back again (which means you'll lose some of your loot when you fight a bigger mob that requires you to move off screen). It does not happen everytime, but really often.

It hasn't been changed yet. There's a client-side fix that needs to happen.
