Also, as the title adds, I'm looking for suggestions on what you want me to fix or update. Was there something malfunctioning in v83 you want fixed? Tell me!

Here's a list of things that will be implemented in the future:

• New Auto-Events : Automatic Races and more
  
• PQs : Monster Carnival, Henesys PQ, Kerning PQ, LudiPQ, LMPQ, pretty much every PQ ingame like GMS will work here eventually
  

I know the forum isn't too active yet, but for those who view it and have any suggestions on what to fix, change, or update.. post away!

A lot more toys and features for us to test, making the game more responsive, I like it.

Let's us hope it all works out.

The biggest issue with me was the lag/instability that custom jobs caused. (Demon Slayer I hate to love you)
If this is already on the list then that's all I can really ask for.

Mind explaining? Was it when you first used the skill, or constantly? Some things in the game lag because your computer or the client can't handle it. If it's an actual lag spike with your skills, usually it's because it was trying to load them. Skills will be cached and pre-loaded now, so you technically shouldn't receive any lag if you used something like Bishop's Genesis. (Normally when you first use it, it would mass lag spike; now it won't)

Yeah that's what the main issue was. I remember when anyone used the demon slayer AoE some people would actually dc from loading the skill. Perhaps from it being both an intensive skill and a custom animation.
It sounds like you have that under control though with the pre-loaded skills.

Yeah, I cache skills upon startup now. For big skills like the skill below, it's immediate and has no lag whatsoever.

Hi,
I have 3 things to suggest:

1. Buying at the cash shop was very d\c-able, might want to fix that, I also reccomend if possible to use the current GMS cash shop UI since its easier to use and looks better then the one that was in the 83 version, you can also make a custom cash shop UI if you cant\dont want- to use the new cash shop UI.

2. Adding a custom launcher- in the previous server you had to redownload all the files if you wanted to play, so what I'm suggesting is to add a patcher that will modify the existing files to the desired code and can also be used as a smoother entry to the game, for example: making a login function in the launcher, news function, adding links to the voting, the website, facebook page, forums, etc. This as well lets you have a cool looking launcher

3. This is a bit out-of-the-box here: you can add some lore to the game, when i played the 83 version of the game i was missing the background story since it lacked the feeling of progress somewhat, also, as you're making cutom jobs you might want to add some lore to them, it will give it a whole new level of   BADASS

I hope you find my suggestion helpful and I hope you will use them
till next time

Cool idea, however, as just the coder I don't plan to be GFXing or WZ Editing anything here. ;P

1. Haha yes, I pre-load the cash shop items on startup in under a second. No lag, no dc's, cash shop loads and runs smooth.

2. Launcher huh? I had actually just programmed an Auto-Patching Launcher with News, ranks, and animated banners. That what you looking for? I suppose I could do this if I had the necessary GFX.

3. Overall I plan to really just implement GMS-like features. As for story and jobs, that's not my area o:

Thanks for the suggestions, though.

as for the cash shop, if you can just bring the UI from the newer versions for GMS you wont need to do any GFX, just bring the UI and place the items in the store.
as for the laucher, yes thats pretty much what i meant, i see you thought ahead of me
and as for the lore, you might want to work it out between the staff members, i think it can be a very positive add to the server, and adding the GMS-like features is a really good idea if you ask me ,

welp, im gonna leave it to you then,

Eric stop coding, just goto college already Jk i miss u <3

huh.. is your source reliable? cause i would think that eric will have an idea of the bigger picture here.. and he says there isnt.. (besides the GMS features that is)

Redwolf wrote:huh.. is your source reliable? cause i would think that eric will have an idea of the bigger picture here.. and he says there isnt.. (besides the GMS features that is)

Well, as far as I go, I will be implementing GMS-like features and fixing this source completely. You'll see this having things no other v83 server has working.

As far as the server goes, the story here pretty much revolves around Khaos. None of the story here is really up to me. The big wz edits and story evolves around Alpha, you'd have to ask him if you're curious about a story.

ok, thats nice to hear actually , can you please get alpha to tell us some about it? id love to hear what he has in store for us, even if its just a trailer-like explnation

"ERIC! You the man~!"
Gotta wait for it! I wonder if those cheese still remains. (or should I call them AP cheese)

Missed you bro <3

AP huh? Well, for starters, the new Automators (previous The Transformers AutoBots) Occupation will have less OP features like Auto-Rebirths and Auto-AP giving. It will continue to Auto-Convert your mesos to chickens and Auto-Buff you upon CC/Login. Overall, I plan for AP to not be abused like in D.Chaos. People had like 800,000AP which is insane.

Just a suggestion,
Will this work for window 8/window 8.1

Kira wrote:Just a suggestion,

Yes, this will work for all versions of Windows.

Wonderful news.  I hope you are still in "deadline mode" despite there being no set release date so that this can come out before I have to go back to class.  I have some experience in coding and depending on the task/work involved (this being source code and probably taking a lot) I understand just how stressful/annoying it can get so I can really appreciate the work that goes into this and I just wanted to say thanks for what you're doing.

tl;dr Thank you for all your work in getting this coding done and I hope that it will be finished soon, for your sake and ours.

Also that skill-cache thing was the exact thing I was talking about it seems so I have no suggestions that I can think of.  Nice work (hopefully) fixing that issue.

Actually, in 6 revisions, I've fixed beyond what most v83 servers were able to. I'm ready to put the source up for testing whenever Alpha is. Give it a few days when we're truly ready, and we should be good to go. Also, I plan to program a launcher, but that doesn't have to be done immediately.

No problem, and yeah, skill caching should fix some skills' lag. (:

*Edit: I meant choose a week or two or a month of time, use as much time to complete this then choose a day for its final release!

This is getting even better by days!

If possible, there should be a deadline, a deadline where we, the gamers would line up, upon this download page, non-stop refresh, at the last minutes of the release files!!

*Edit: I meant choose a week or two or a month of time, use as much time to complete this then choose a day for its final release!

we all need something to be obsesive about, and we all would like to know at least a general idea of how long we have to obsess
