[BlaXun] Slime Online continues...

Hey there everybody.

Its been some time since I last wrote a blog :3

Finally version 4c has been released ^-^

Of course we found some ugly bugs again, but I allready fixed em :)

With this update I finally added the new MYSQL-featured Signatures.

They look like this:

I also expanded the whole worldmap.

Its now 3-4 times as big as before.

When I was in-game I was stalked by some guys:

Oh, here is a screen of the new area I will expand, these are the wastelands:

I also added the old city, which originally was in beta 3.

It doesnt look 100% the same as before…but I will expand it ;)

Another nice area are the LAVA CAVES.

They are dangerous, but pretty cool:

When I though I could logout the police office suddenly got very crowded:

Shorty after this I could test the bAN-System.

It works ;)

Oh, for those who couldnt see the new title screen yet, here it is:

You can also click the birds so they fly away :D

And, because I am a nice guy, I added the "SLIMON SAYS" room:

It got a bit troublesome when the chat got crowded. I realized that the engine needs some more tweaking:

The forum finally got over 100 members for a total of 102 right now ^-^yay!

Way to go :)

This latest update (beta 4c) was mainly a Worldmap-Expansion.

The next version, which will be beta 5, will be more like a feature update.

I will concentrate on adding features instead of adding maps (of course there will be new maps too, I especially want to expand the wastelands and Mount. Steil)

Currently I will concentrate on the following:

billboard Renting:

There will be billboards all over the world of Slime Online.

You can rent them and decide what text should be written on them.

You can decide for yourself how much money you want to pay for this service, but other peoples can overwrite your text by paying more then you did.

I think this is a fair offer.

The text will be limited, but I didnt decide on a limit yet.

Emoticon bar:

Once you hold down CTRL a bar will fade in and show you what digit will show which emoticon.

Chat fix:

This should have been done long ago.

Right now the chat is kinda tricky. It doesnt even wrap the text.

I will try to fix this.

I am currently using MARK OVERMARS chat tutorial for the chat.

If anybody can alter it to add text-wrapping I would be more then happy!

EMOTICONS:

We dont have many keys left, but I will add some more emoticons.

please tell me which emoticons you think would be usefull.

HEADGEARS:

I will try to add some headgears to the next version.

I will propably change the INVENTORY System to something simpler.

RESTRICTED AREAS:

I plan to add some kind of barrier that can only be passed when holding a certain amount of points (or more)

SERVER NPCs:

I will try to add Server NPCs such as moving platforms.

This should expand the gameplay a bit more.

bANK SYSTEM UPDATE:

by pressing a certain button (not decided yet) you can change the point selection to the maximum.

WORLD MAP:

I want to add map-signs to important places.

Those will work like the current signs, but instead of a text you get a worldmap overview and a marked spot so you know where you are.

TRAVELING SERVICE:

Later I will add the SLIME AIRLINES again, but for the next version I just want to add a "Warp Service".

I will create a special building which you can enter and pay to warp to important places.

…more to be added later!

I hope you like these ideas ^-^

Ya, I allready got this bug many times before.

Its really wierd….seems like the 39dll sends…SHIT xD

Snakeman 17 years, 7 months ago

yup. maybe try making all errors be answered as ignore and see if that'll help. it helped me in my game when it said the variable didn't exist when it actually did. =P

(you can do that in the global game settings)

BlaXun 17 years, 7 months ago

yah, allready turned that on for next beta…and additionally the "write errors to log file" option…so players can still tell me about their bugs!

Castypher 17 years, 7 months ago

I'm gonna get on right now and check new features. We have to create new accounts, right?

BlaXun 17 years, 7 months ago

nope, your old account still exists!

Castypher 17 years, 7 months ago

Nice. I just got on a while ago. You kept sending messages…why can't I do that?!

=D

You need to add slime points to the Old Slime City again. Oh, and you didn't add the inventory and stuff yet?

BlaXun 17 years, 7 months ago

nope, as I wrote before I had to start all over.

For this beta 4c it was my goal to add more maps.

And I think I did exactly that ^^

The next update will be a "feature-update" again.

Hopefully I'll be able to add some nice things ^-^

Castypher 17 years, 7 months ago

You did add more maps. I liked how many there were. Except in the dark cave, I couldn't read the sign…

What'd you make your banner with?
