Topic: February '07 Week 1

Just finished:
* Visibility code - client receives data only on what it should know about
* Garbage collection - needed for the visibility code and my long-term sanity

What I've got to fix:
* Pathfinding and visibility don't cooperate - the client can't see anything walking anymore until I fix this
* The client crashes on exit... in two different ways (edit: fixed)

Next up:
* Sight radii for creatures
* In-map serialization of complex objects (monster spawners for one) (easy)
* Scripted monster AI

Re: February '07 Week 1

Re: February '07 Week 1

Well, one of the differences between the last beta and the new beta that will be done is that there will be a separate test server. It will allow everything to be play tested before it goes live. So, if anyone gets invited to that, anything they do won't count towards the real game. The obvious advantage is that any screwups won't affect the real game and things can be tested ad nausiam to see if it's fair and such.

Re: February '07 Week 1

So, if anyone gets invited to that

How will we be chosen? How many will be chosen? Is bribery allowed?

Cybby should be allowed into the beta to represent the oldbies.

Re: February '07 Week 1

Still saying that $15 bought me into Beta.. Back when $15 was about 1 year of free C then 3 extra months when the game opened to the public.

Hmm, he's online right now. Perhaps it's more a case of me not paying attention.

Re: February '07 Week 1

The person I have on AIM is definitely the original. He was added to my contact list back in the day. But, anyone in game these days is not him having talked to him on AIM tonight.

Re: February '07 Week 1

Yea. It doesn't make any sense.
I mean, I sort of see why people would fake being a GM, but yet still not really. But, why would you fake being a player that quit years ago?
