Project Overview
Well,what is this project?its almost like OpenTibia Project.
But we want to take a really different path.
OpenTibia is too much engaged in Cipsoft Standard.Its use Tibia's Protocol,System(Spells,etc),i feel like OpenTibia Project aim is to follow Tibia.
Moreover,its doesn't have a custom Client therefore don't have any customs Sprites.
Our aim is much more bigger.
Our objective is to make a 2D MMORPG Platatform OpenSource Project with a Server/Client/ItemEditor/MapEditor deeply customizable with New Graphics and Server features(Scripting) aimed to people who's want to do really Ats servers.
A 2D MMORPG Platform who takes the better from Tibia and OpenTibia to make something new,easy and deeply customizable.
But our most important aim is to do a really community oriented Project.
Graphics
Mist effect,one of the news Graphics features,from Tibia Flash
Mist effect,a type of Magic Effect(Animation) wich will be drawn above all other Game's window stuff.
Sprite Sheet(with Animations),a new way to store Sprites in Spr file,with transparency support
Sprite Sheet(with Outfits),a new way to store Sprites in Spr file,with transparency support
One of our goal for this area is to redesign the Spr's file to manage Sprites sheets with Transparency(Png) but still compressing the data.
But the most important thing here is to redesign Dat's File.
Dat have a precarious format and its looks designed to be used in Server too,and its not good.
Our aim for this area:
-Every graphic type will have they dat format.
-Animated Outfits with more Overlay support.
-Overlay support to Items(like fluids).
-Mist effect.
-Animated Project tiles target by angle.
-Better Fluids/Ramdom Sprites support.
-Flexibilty to add more graphics types.
A C++ library to deal with spr/dat wich will be useful to Client/Graphics editors/Map Editors/Etc.
Map
Our goal for this area is simple.
-Redesign the City thing to be more dinamic
-Create Areas in the map like houses/protection zone to be scriptable and customized wich will be useful to do something like a pvp zone per example.
Spawn features will still be the same.
Server
Our Server will be in C#.Why?
C# is widely used by our main public: teenagers.Its is easy to write,maintain,etc.
if you want to know more about this wonderful language check here: link
There have a C# OpenSource Server project with basic functionality: Link
Our aim for this area:
-Easy to Maintain
-Clean design to make the c# more customizable
-Deeply Scripting(more than tfs).
Client
Our aim for this area:
-Good UI Design
-Good code design to make its easy customizable
-meet all specification talked above
Organization,Design and and what is your part in this project
Well,like i said in the beginning of this post,this project is oriented by community.
The goal of this project is the community and for this become real we need the community support.
Spriters: We need graphics for this project.Itens,Animations,Outfits,everything.
See: link
Designers:We need people to know and plan well our roadmap to take the project to reality in maximum speed.
Programmers: We need programmers to code well the plan from designers.
Leaders: We need leaders.People on the top to make sure that things are going right.
My idea is to make commites to think and plan the things before make things done.
Other things is to use Agile software development(Scrum),UML to make the design better possible.
Its the end of the post.Its is sketch for what we want for this project.its why feedback is very important to us.
