Hello all,

Quick update, I believe I have a spriter now who is working on bases. It is a paid contract so I am assuming the work will be done. Also, spells and item definitions are coming along nicely. I probably have around 300 spells in and roughly 100 items. Things are going smoothly, I do believe our scripter Nick has bailed though, I shall be looking for a new one soon. If anyone is interested in doing this let me know.

icon_size

Sun, 29 Jan 2012 04:04:31 +0000

Had a quick question about icon_size. Is it possible to make the mobs 32x64 and keep the world.icon_size at default of 32? I want to place tiles at a 32x32 size.

Thank you in advance,

-Draco

Mapping the many zones is still under way, I am also glad to hear from my main scripter. He won't be able to do much since he has a new job now, but I am in no hurry so it is good news to hear from him.

I am still looking for someone to do the animated mobs (monsters, npcs,etc...), and character bases. If anyone is interested or know of anyone who can do this please contact me.

On a side note, many of the equipment, spells, and item definitions are coming along nicely. I have at least 200 of them done only inf more to go...

Until next news update...

area returning mob to original loc

Sun, 25 Dec 2011 06:42:34 +0000

So it has been awhile since i have used DM, and I am trying to only allow mobs coming from the south to enter the area. All other directions will block the mob from entering.

A
    Entered(mob/M)
        if(M.dir<>NORTH)
            return
            ..()
        else
            M.loc=locate(14,18,1)

Everquest Only

Hello all,

Been awhile haven't had internet connection for a long time. Just moved out here in CT and been here about a year now. Going to be using the library for my work until I move into my new spot next month. I have decided to kill DQE for good this time and only work on one game, ForEverquest. I will need a team for this, I have looked in the past and foudn a few interested but since I had no way to work on the game it diminished away, but for now I am just outlining the cosmetics such as spells, items, mobs, etc...

If anyone is interested in helping with this hit me up at r.dryburgh@hotmail.com

Games Update.

Sat, 06 Feb 2010 09:41:58 +0000

Hey all,

Just a few updates. I post weekly updates on my game sites individually, but to make a mass post for all games on here. So here we go,

Everquest - Finishing up West Freeport innards. Outline is finished with furnishings. Still looking for a custom iconist for all iconing work, have Temporary icons in at the moment.

Dragon Quest Evolution - I have to say this is probably my 8th - 9th attempt at this project. Everythime i get deep into it something either comes up, computer crashes have to reformat, or just lose everything i worked on. Well I am back on the next attempt getting the icons ready and remapping it all out once again. This time I am backing everything up on memsticks.

Thats it for now, I will keep everyone posted when more updating comes around. If you are interested in working on either of my projects feel free to drop me a line. Thanks guys.

Hello all,
I really cant wait for this title, i had the first one and went through the entire game including the secret dungeons, i just hope they added a Import option ( rumor dont know if true just yet ) from, the first to second. Which would be an overkill actually but fun all the same. For all you EQ haters, "Hail Innoruuk"!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mob rand walk proc not responding.

Thu, 25 Apr 2002 09:13:36 +0000

I enter a proc named npcmve, call a var with a rand of 1,4. I then place the 4 definitions of each movement like so,
npcmve(mob/M)
var/mobmve
mobmve=rand(1,4)
if(mobmve==1)
M.dir=NORTH
M.loc=locate(x,y+1,z)
sleep(10)
npcmve()
and i place the proc in the right spot i think,
Bard
icon='npc.dmi'
icon_state="bard"
npcmve()
Why is this not responding?

Does BYOND games have the compatibility of adding these 2 features to a game, if so i need to know the code extension to add it in, i have a great idea for a chat game if it works.
