Um. That's not going to get him to release the engine. Besides, it's an engine. The source wouldn't be worth using unless you're going to create a closed source engine, which would be pointless.

Need I point out Konfuze?

There we go, I remember how many Konfuze spawns there were, I think I counted 15 or 16 different versions at one point,
Off the top of my head

Elysium Blue
GreenTail
Deloria if I'm not mistaken
Chaos

Then you get people trying to revive it,

GSD and I think someone else made
Konfuze,
then it became
Elysium
Then Pingu got it
Elysium Diamond
Elysia
And NOW there the reincarnation of Elysium, which should really be Konfuze... confused yet? The more Spawns of one source there are wether there are great improvements from one to the other are all usually the same. DKE still highly resembles MS and is kind of heading in a Konfuze direction, but I personally don't want to go the way of Konfuze... Extinct because of a bunch of branch off's.

I have noticed having many version of MS is fine because everyone does there own thing, but when most of it is already there for you, the interface gets changed and the company that initialy started the source disappears.

Umm...Robin didn't ever work on Elysium. It was ED1-2 pingu > ED3 Giaken > Elysium whatever Monoxide.

I could have aworn Robin worked on one, but I might have gotten Pingu and Robin mixed up.
And ED3 was good release of the source, so I'm not going to complain about that one.
Thank you for the correction
fixing it now.

Ok now with our new programer, things are moving again slightly at the same pace.
But so far we have done the following
Item Requirements(Class, Access, level)
and also added spell buff.

And we shall see where our source goes from there. hopefully further up.

Konfuze went extinct because I killed it, if we had decided that regardless of the source being released we were going to carry on I assure you it would still be a household name xP

Ok since it is just me on the source again, acouple of the things that James added are not in this copy. Though there are some minor updates and (some speed enhances thanks to suggestions from Genesis), here's the current list
Image
This is with 4 players online, 10 npc's on the map and half of the map in animation.
Replaced Trim with Trim$
Replaced Chr with Chr$
Replacd Left with Left$
Replaced Right with Right$
Replaced Mid with Mid$
removed unnessicary code from gameloop (thanks to Gen)

if someone could please test this out for me and see what your FPS is http://www.mid-waytwistedgames.webs.com/client.rar and post your fps, this is on a old copy so the banks and spells aren't on here
There is more to come, I'm just trying to speed the system up to "compare slightly" with MS4.

90 FPS? Is that even capped? Maybe you should look at your CPU.

I have not modded this from the origanal, and I haven't played with it much.

Do While GetTickCount < Tick + 30
TickFPS = Tick + 1000

And my cpu usage reaches 50 % on high only when I have E-O and DK running

And Timster 32x32 is only if you change the sprite size with your .bmp at the moment
