So at this point the server is at 25% of restoration? I'm not sure what else you have finished besides the stuff you posted in this thread. That August 20th release date seems way to early now. The progress is good, though. I'm thinking that this will take another month for release, right?
Probably not, and since a lot of people who don't understand what it's like to build a server from ground up let me explain why it's taking longer then some would hope.
First I had to re-do the server items, this includes renaming, adding attributes, and re-doing over 200 + items. You then have to add them to movements to make them all work, and then you have to set level requirements and vocation requirements.
Then, I had to add the spells from the old deathzot, while there wasn't a crazy ton, there still was a decent amount, and of course non of the spells translated 100%, so I had to figure out the formula change from the evo distro to the one I'm using, and then apply the changes.
Then, all the actions script had to be re-done, some of them include; mining system, clicking runic items, using star stone lever, all of the teleportation items, exp scrolls, candys, rune merging, adding an anti-dupe system, the boss essences, and more
Then NPC's had to be done, and theres about 20 of them
Then monsters! Since I couldnt just copy the 8.0 monsters over, I had to re-do about 75 monster files and their loot according to the server, and adjusting all of their attacks because they once again changed in the new server
I had to re-do every single weapon script and find a new forumla to work with because they didn't work properly
I had to make sure all of the magic damage was working properly with items
Had add all of the vocations, proper soul regen and balance the mana & health regens
Had to get attack speed to even work like it did in 8.0
Had to re-do the quests because they didn't work
Had to make a new script for all the hidden passage doors
And the list goes on
So there's just a small list of what I did that I didn't mention was done, because no one really understands how long it takes to do, especially when you're a single person trying to properly restore & convert a server that took months to develop. Just because I'm saying I'm done with Edron doesn't mean I've accomplished nothing, a lot (and the majority of the core gameplay) is already done. Whats left to do now is adding spawns, which I'm currently working on. That doesn't mean it will take another full month to complete, but alls I can say is it's getting close.
