ya, let's all get back to tropic! :cool:

Off topic: Yeah he's gone now. Knew he was kind of a jerk, but didn't know he was doing that stuff. Apparently he did that to quite a few people too.

On topic: Armageddon is still goin well. Look fowards to about 2 more systems being done today, and hopefully an island and town complete!

Systems: 83%
Weapons: 50%
Levels: 14%
GFX: 68%
Ganis: 83%
Other (event prizes,quests,ect):10%

So we have a jail system, technically, working right now. We still need certain images and levels, but for the most part it is done (special thanks to mallard for that). We also have our boat/ship stuff moving along well (special thanks to jerret for that), mostly just needing ganis and a little bit of modifications to some things. We also have a unique (and as far as I've seen, never before worked this way) bridge by Deas. Pretty kick ass because it actually shows serverside people walking and swimming correctly.

The levels are still being constructed around the town, and inside of the town, and is shut of for another week or so hopefully. The construction of the world is being made at this point, and progress is going very very well.

Next up will be finishing the levels/gfx/ganis for the jail system, finishing the main town, and finishing up the auction house system as well.

We will be moving on to the player house system, spiffin up the "movement" system, and hopefully start reconstructing some weapons like the boomerang and bow. Another little "duel" system will also be in the works, as well as drops and a target system for partying and item reasons. Ganis and gfx are also being made for baddies/monsters right now, and those will be roaming the world.

All in all, there hasen't been good, solid progress like this in a while. Soon enough we might actually be able to set a hosted deadline date. :)

Systems soon done! :D

Cyril, can't wait to see the finished product.

I've been checking in every now and then and it looks great!

Can't wait to see more screenies !

hopefully you've designed the images to actually fit a single theme.

Soon, still working around the starter town, so once its actually done, there will be screenshots. Cant post the jail stuff, theres a reason we have a disclaimer you have to agree to when you log on for the first time. :)

Still working on this, as we need a gfx that can do it, but it will be done, and everything (gui, inventory, and gui windows) will match.

well the gui isnt matching just yet. We're happy enough atm to have our gui fully scripted and working on bigger projects on the server. I'll be pming you a link to our tileset max. So if you wanted to help still, more then welcome. As far as gfx goes, we've been working on tileset, boats, mounts, signs, pretty much everything a nice server needs. The gui ill hopefully fix tomorrow if i have the time.

I am, though I am going to be up front about my activity now. I work quite a bit so my activity on Graal would be around 1-2 hours a day. If that is acceptable than I'm happy to work.

Also wondering whether or not you have a custom movement system, and if it supports layer detection. I was going to work for Classic but they don't have layer support.

Layer support in Classic's movement system would be very easy to add (including making some layers blocking, others not, etc.), it's just that using layers forces everyone into using gonstruct and we don't exactly have a use for layers besides cleaning up levels a little bit which is not high enough priority compared to having a streamlined development process.

layered levels look better, and would (in my opinion) speed up development. No longer do you need an image to do the job a tile could perform, all your tiles going together seamlessly. In my opinion as a level artist, layering is the future of level editing, and not adding support for it is pretty foolish.

We have a movement system, and we use layers on levels. Not sure if that means what you're saying. Our movement system is still based off default stuff.

I only asked because Thor led me to believe it was impossible to support layers with a custom system.

Classic's systems are more custom than most other custom systems. While most other movement systems just use onwall2, we currently use tiletype and loop over the tiles in the specified area. We would need to switch to working with the tiles array if we wanted to support layers (because there is no layer-aware tiletype function).

All that technobabble just means that we'd need to do a little extra work and have more overhead in the movement system.
