Whi World - Open Source Server with Configurable Features

[whitevo]

as expected. Nop

Although I did something friday night.
I think I finally got all the boss features in one place. That was so awful xD, scripts were practically every main folder.

Anyway. First glance how does my new boss generating config looks like with the "Central System":

Woah.
That was long day. Early Morning wake up, stuff to do till Evening. Then tripping around. And end with nice touch of cush and movie with friends.

Well Anyway, tomorrow the scripting will begin. Time to finish up the central system.

End of the week, aka next weekend I shall start the Whi World story with hunter. Gona go trough secrets, hints, qusts and test different builds what I hope will be cool and styleish.
I got nice load of equipment farmed up too with mage.

I conclude mage now.
That class I'm happy with now.
What you think?

Its no longer overpowered.They still keep their unique styles.
I was able to do 3 different effective builds: (aoe elemental and spear mage, barrier mage(aka tank), theoretically should exist close range elemental damage too with not too big aoe but better dmg.
I have seen other doing interesting item combinations what also work. Ingame exist explosion mage, but I couldn't solo shadow to get the final item piece xD (only tried 2 times too, still 2 attempts left, I will use it for hunter) (although there is a wine machine to create wine now *hands in da air screaming*!!)

uh. Where I'm heading here.
Ah ye. well skipping new patch this week too. it was really busy week to be able to script anything, but now I have time again.

Like this post if you want too see Borthonos Central Config table (aka blueprints for boss stats and rewards and balance)

 

[Xikini]

{amount = "archanosBounty"}

While skimming I thought this said
Archanos Beauty.

 

[whitevo]

Boss functions and scripts have been refactored.

Tommorrow I will organize all the boss rooms.

 

[velocitraptor]

it would be nice if you could add some pictures too

 

[whitevo]

it would be nice if you could add some pictures too

of what?

 

[whitevo]

all boss room are done.
Starting area is done.
Started off with tutorial area frame. It will be turned into quest (tracked by questlog)
This is the last area left to do. (not the last thing though, I skipped quite many missions)
Not sure how long it will take to move entire to central system. This tutorial is packed with unique functions and scripts.
When I created tutorial(version 4), that took me 2-3 weeks. Lets see how long it will take me to improve and organize it.

I have total of 16 tutorial rooms. So far 0 done. (I might edit this post today, I might script some more today, its not like I got anything else to do)

 

[whitevo]

Dayum this ain't going as smoothly as I though xD
Even though progress seems fast I have been pretty much improving every single script xD
And sometimes I create extra steps between the tutorials tasks (making tutorial more understandable and adding quality)
Not to mention I have to update central system with new features.

Well anyway at this tempo I should be able to finish tutorial area in this weekend.
2/16 tutorial rooms ready (room count is small because the had to deal with a lot of other tutorial related scripts first)

 

[whitevo]

gona keep it short this time: 7/16 tutorial rooms rdy

 

[whitevo]

Another central system update.
I currently created 2 new systems what will register scripts to onDeath and to onHealthChange creaturescripts.
Whenever I need to expand it to more creaturescripts it should be fairly fast (pretty much copy paste) (or i might make a function between these too, if I see more clear pattern)
Anyway new idea is that when I make monster. I write the creaturescript function name to monster xml file (well yeah still have to use xml, I don't do source edits afterall)
then I can write the function (or it uses some default one) and I use central system to link it to monster. Once again of course the linking is done in central table and function is on the same file too. nice and organized
Example of the custom tutorial monster

Spoiler

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

    <script>
        <event name="onDeath"/>
        <event name="onHealthChange"/>
    </script>
</monster>

Anyway so far completed 9/16 tutorial rooms. But theoretically I should have central system up to date and all tutorial specific functions ready to finish up rest of the rooms.
However no playing this weekend . Instead I will spend that time on scripting, because I wont be able to finish patch in these few days.

 

[whitevo]

Weekend was ok , now ended.
Actually even did some scripting.

Im at room 14 with tutorial.
Monday gona finish up
for Tuesday Finished missing missions and remade all minigames. (expect challenge event) I will relook after I create a mummy
Then I have some improvements and bug reports added this month. Will clear these up.
Patching time, creating new class: strawPoll
Which one should I try next to complete all quests and kill all bosses?
Druid, Knight or Hunter?
I will not use farmed items, until I have tried and died to do different things.
I want to feel and play and balance all classes like that.
Mage I like.

What class I should play next? strapoll

 

[whitevo]

Tutorial area complete.
This concludes all the areas.
Getting closer to di end

Also something to know.
Next patch all players who have not logged in more than 7 days and haven't completed tutorial will be automatically deleted from database.

 

[whitevo]

Whi World PATCH 0.1.5.7.2

Alrighty, last week was pretty unproductive for Whi World.
Only dealt with ongoing bugs and improvements.
Also my weekend started rather early on Thursday

But this is new week.
I have finished scripts for another server.
Now its time to continue with Whi World.

I had a poll few days ago: http://www.strawpoll.me/10679098
I didn't vote on this one myself.
Seems like I will do some AI then.
I estimate about 50 hours of scripting. (first time it took me 400 hours to create monster AI and spellcreating system)
This is quite a lot of time and who knows what breaks down in middle of doing it.

Once again like last time with the central system update I'm not planning to bring out any major updates.
For first week I can do some bug fixing and release a patch right before I attach new monster AI to npc's and monsters.
But after that next patch if something is happens, most likely I won't be fixing it until the new monster AI is implemented correctly.

I have said what the new monster AI bring and what it does more than before, but I will say it again:

new AI features:
1. monsters can now follow other monsters
2. monsters can have specific range to "see" enemies
3. if monster can't hit with spell or attack, he can choose not to waste the spell (obviously I can force them to miss the spells. Cant have them all too smart)
4. if monster target is out of reach monster can choose to attack/cast spells on other target, while still keep chasing the original target
5. monsters can pick up items and use them
6. monsters can change any of their base attributes (currently I had to make token monsters)
7. monsters can change any of their spell/attack attributes
8. monsters can change map
9. monster can become your ally any given point. (i will remove all  NPC's from game and replace them with monster)

The above AI is closely linked to the spellcreating system.
Spellcreating system will get huge rework, almost everything will get refactored.
Not much of details about it right now, perhaps end of the week I have some unique results to talk about.

The final goal is make it even easier to configure monsters/npc's, create spells and loose the lag caused by lot of monsters in same place in rather difficult environment

Whi World PATCH 0.1.5.7.6

highscore:
Because for most of highscores we had multiple players with same results, it created hickup for highscore boards. The issue is now resolved.

Awesome typo at giving rep, because of that I had to reset the reputation related features.

Spells:
poison: nerfed formula just a little, instead of mL * 5 its now mL*4

Weapons:
Quivers: Are no longer categorized as shields
Bow: No longer can be equipped along with shields.

Other:
Server save no longer cleans the map

Hardcore rooms:
Forgotten Village: shortcuts now work again
