Afar ~ 1,000 Players

So why isn't this on the front page...?  that's where I thought it'd be.

I'll be online as soon as the install finishes.  I'm really excited about this game.

EDIT: honestly, if there's too much lag right now, upgrade your server; 100 people on a 100x100 map does not bode well.  I'd buy a subscription if I could right now, and I'm sure a lot of people would as well.  with that money, you can figure out what's the weakest link and upgrade it.

I'll reupload it in a bit when my Internet stops playing up.

I might be able to get the new game finished by tonight . Depends how things go.

THREE PPL ONLINE!!!

 

[cheatking]

Laggy for me. And I keep casting spells when I press down.

 

[MukanshinBlack]

Laggy and buggy, but it shows that this game could end up pretty good.

 

[djzalzer]

So the inventory screen is buggy.  Whenever I open it up it won't close and I end up having to shut down the client.

 

[Ellie]

Doesn't close when you right click?

It is extremely laggy and buggy, hence why I'm making the new game.

 

[HarryE]

My character keeps running to the right.

use the mouse to move :thumb:

 

[Ellie]

I thought I disabled keypad movement ages ago because of the "walk down casts an uber spell" bug. Hmm.

I don't even know why it does that - I still struggle to find the line of code that's casting the spell (especially since spellcasting is different in the new ABS anyway ).

 

[Ellie]

I said I might be able to release the new game as early as next weekend. I was wrong. I'm really sorry, I was a little too optimistic. Looks like I'll have to release it tonight instead.

Vengeance: The Lost Arc
Beta Test Tonight

> *Hopefully* less lag
> *Hopefully* less bugs

Three quests transferred so far.

*Three* classes transferred and fixed: Infernomancer, Healer, and Necromancer.

Nice selection of enemies to fight.

Improved controls (shouldn't get the not-being-able-to-talk bug)

 

[S S Muu]

about what time?
okey, you probably don't know the exact time but somewhere around 9 PM, 10 PM, 11 PM, 12 PM(wait, should that be 12 AM?), 1 AM? You know what I mean.
I don't want to miss this one too :tongue:

 

[Ellie]

Hmm, I reckon I need another hour, plus half an hour to upload.

It's 20:16 here now, so expect it some time near... 21:45 I guess.



Some stats:

For those worried about the bandwidth problems of running an MMORPG, today so far (since this morning):

Bytes in: 9,736 (that's what... 9kb)
Bytes out: 21,016 (that's like... 21k)

So 30kb bandwidth used today. My web host gives me 5,010gb bandwidth a month, i.e. 167gb a day. That's about 167,000mb, or about 167,000,000kb.

 

[MukanshinBlack]

Niiice.  Can't wait. ^_^

 

[The Panda]

Awesome! I missed the Beta yesterday(even though I still got the unencrypted version =P I clicked the download and then had to rush out of the house right away cuz my dad wanted to have lunch with me and I never get to see my dad, but I deleted it out of courtesy for Wyatt[and because it's useless if the game's being re-made XP]) so I'll DEFINATLY be there today!
Hopin to see a less buggy version than what I heard yesterdays was like, and can't wait!  ^__^

 

[Ellie]

Thanks for deleting it, makes me realise why I come to this forum (the members are trustworthy) .

Oh one more thing: I FIXED DEBUG ME! That was my favourite script I made for Vengeance and it didn't work. But it works now (in the new version).

 

[Venetia]

I wouldn't get too down on myself were I you, Wyatt, you're doing something no other rmxp'er has done, so of course there are going to be hiccoughs

also: give me the unencrypted version because i need ppprrrrrreeeecccccioiioiioooouuusss reessssouuuurrrccccessssssssss @_@;;;

heh heh

 

[Ellie]

Most of the resources I used were either RTP, or made by me, in which case I've posted them here anyway

[/fails to get joke]

One of these quests might be a bit tricky without levelling up a little, it involves the most powerful enemy in the game as a boss. But it's not very powerful.

More:

- Added the "Monty's Python" quest
- Added the Fishing merchant skill

It's 20:16 here now, so expect it some time near... 21:45 I guess.

20:16... that means you have GMT+0 right?

 

[Ellie]

Indeed, I'm in England.

New stuff:

- Fixed some bugs
- Fixed some more bugs
- Fingers hurt
- Fixed another bug



Please note: This is, for the most part, another Beta. It does not represent a finished game.

What can you do in the Beta?

- Fight enemies
- Train Fishing
- Train your combat classes (Infernomancer, Healer, and Necromancer) using your EXP
- Complete quests (there are four in the game so far)
- Explore the small map area there is
- Chat with other players
