Xikini's - - Titan Kingdoms, Updates/Progress/Suggestions & Discussion Thread

[Xikini]

This thread, as the title explains is a thread dedicated to Titan Kingdoms.

I'm notorious for walls of text, so I'm going to attempt to keep the original post simple and concise.

If you have any suggestions/ideas for new content/systems you'd like to see you can post them below.


This main post will contain mostly progress updates, and maybe a couple of links to specific posts.
I will try to update the below sections weekly with any updates/progress we've made.

Discord link: discordapp.com/invite/mjk7ZE3

Quick info:
Titan Kingdoms is a 9.6 Custom OpenTibia project.
The scope of changes from Real Tibia is too large to explain in this forum post.
You can go to here to download the client, and here to create an account.
Log in and look around if you wish, however we are in Alpha.
There is no real content for players at the moment.

Open the QuestLog for a miniature wiki of new/current systems.
Old and expecially new players to the server will want to review this section from time to time.

Below change_log's are copy-pasted from our discord. (only the last 4 weeks of changes will be kept here.)
Feel free to ask any questions down below.

Still trudging away.

We got a bit side tracked and weren't updating our change_logs.
Rest assured, updates are still flowing through.

Autoloot system is just around the corner.

Just wanted to give a quick bump to say that this is definitely a discussion thread, and we're not really trying to advertise Titan Kingdoms.
When I bump every Friday with a small picture or gif of new content, it's just so you guys can see that the project is still being worked on.
Constructive criticism and discussion of various idea's and content that we are creating will always be appreciated, and I'd love to answer any questions you guys have.

Cheers as always,

Xikini

Why not join on the unity engine?

Because I'm only a mediocre scripter at best.
My scripting talents are pretty narrow.

That offline message feature is hella cool, I always wanted to do it but never brought myself to sit on it.
Do you save the message that are sent to an offline player in the database, then load them from there once the player logs in, or you made it some other way?

Some other way. I don't have a server setup on my computer, so I've never been able to sit down and figure out how to utilize database queries.

Hm, I see. My best guess is that it was stored in some txt file then read from there later. I'm assuming that this persists through server restarts, otherwise even some global table could hold such data.
Cool feature nonetheless, I always felt that was missing

We managed to make it on our server too! its a real nice and original feature. We used db for storing various messages.

When we were trying to build the server, I was trying to make as little chat commands as possible. But I like that idea better then waiting 15 seconds and forcing the unread messages to the player. xP

 

[Aeronx]

We've made a whole system. Since you can have more than one offline msg, there are 3 commands. To send, to check msges and to delete them.

The idea was totally yours! We just made it better

Different, not better.

It's okay though, since I stopped working on the server indefinitely. xP
I jump on here now and then to help a few people, but otherwise I'm inactive.

 

[Aeronx]

haha i was joking.

Why are you inactive? Such a shame Liked your ideas!

I was ready to continue forward, but Werewolf was being a lazy bum.
I was finished everything I could do except quests and storyline, and I had already created 24 fully functioning npc's for the first town/area.
and werewolf was still working on the basic weapon arts for like 2 months and was only half finished or less.
afaik he completely stopped working on the server altogether, and he's the owner.. so meh.
I stopped working on it completely, since until the Weapon Arts + spells were created, he wasn't working on the map or monsters.. and without monsters and map I couldn't really progress at all.

Soo tldr, I was 2-3 months ahead of werewolf with actual content, and he stopped working on the project, so I had no-where to put the content. xD

typical werewolf. Probably one of the worst owners to ever run a otserver. From "no bots allowed" to allowing his skype friends to bot, giving free stuff to them and banning people he didnt like. Just sad for ur wasted time.
