Mirage Source

I think what I see is this happening:

Labmonkey gets mod, everybody loves him, people find out his code sucks, he gets demoted, then banned, then he makes an engine called Chaos Engine.

Robin:
Why aren't maps and shit loaded up in a dynamic array?
Jacob:
the 4 people that know how are lazy
Robin:
Who are those 4 people?
Jacob:
um
you, me, and 2 others?

Yet another open test. This time to see what the new host feels like with a few people on.

Few things to keep in mind:

• The client will be changing often, so run the autoupdater if you don't know if you've got the latest client files.
• There are some known bugs which are being worked on.
• The spellbook feature is not accessible, so only log on as a Warrior... unless you don't mind being weak.
• I'll be developing whilst the test is open. Mainly, I'll be mapping the new cave system to link Glenvale with Devinshire.
• Shops aren't rendered properly.
• The banks is problematic, and doesn't let you stack items. You'll only be able to store around 50 items because of this.
• The text rendering in the inventory is cut off, and the shadow is slightly off.
• The sliding maps are still a bit buggy. The first map slide after logging in, dying or warping will display the wrong map, but all the slides after that should be fine. I'm currently looking into this.

There are only a few things to do atm, until I finish the mapping:

• Talk to Ronald north of Devinshire for some information on making potions.
• Talk to the Lumberjack outside the Devinshire caves for some information on woodcutting.
• Talk to the Merchant in the Devinshire caves for the health potions.
• Kill things. Mainly bats. I'll add a few more monsters in as well.
• Talk to the Priest in the Church for free healing.

Errors:
If you come across any errors, or haven't run a VB6 game before, make sure you have all the right dependencies.

For general VB6 library files, install the Ascentive Library Files.
http://www.ascentive.com/support/new/libraryfiles.exe

For Essence-based games (Like Winds Whisper), install the Essence Library Files.
http://www.pwnz.co.uk/downloads/Essence_Runtime_Files.exe

Before reporting errors, make sure you install both of these.

Download:

You'll need WinRAR to extract the client

A pretty large update has come about, which will need you to re-download the game.

You can download the new client here:
http://www.windswhisper.com/downloads/client_0.6.rar

Here's the main changes:

• Fixed a bug in the Auto Updater which forced certain files to be re-downloaded.
• Re-programmed a large part of the engine, including the sound system. The client no longer requires Dx8.
• Optimised and replaced many functions and subroutines. Also re-organised the code structure.
• Re-compiled the sprite set from scratch, and there is now a matching face set which will be used in later features.
• The IsConstAnimated function now loads the npc numbers from const.ini, rather than a hardcoded enum.
• Few small GUI fixes. The menu GUI is still mostly from the old GUI however, whilst I still work on the new one.
• The chat system now works fully. No more blank names.
• Position Modification. It no longer kicks you for this.
• Re-programmed the Server loop.
• Added map caching, which should make map transitions a lot faster.

The following bugs are known and are being worked on:

• Class not displayed properly in the GUI
• Spellbooks are still not working properly, and because of this aren't accessible in game.
• Map transitions are fairly temperamental. Your first transition after logging in, dying or warping will be bugged. If you have bad lag, then the map transition will show the wrong map. I'm still looking into this.

Thanks,
Robin
