Moving away

2002-10-11T23:05:08Z

It is now official.
some may wonder what happened to the project, behind the curtain of sourceforge.
Well it died slowly.
I'm moving the project in the hand of more dedicated programmers , away of the open source community.
The few sourceforge coders who weren't ghosts may follow.

The way the project evolve will change, the technology used as well. May the goddess grant us luck this time.

So this is my last post on this place. Soon it may close due to inactivity. So if you have any documents to recover , do so before it too late.

To everyone looking forward for the game, cya at the alpha release ;).

The game document is now more than twice thicker than before in order to answer the many questions which was unanswered on the Devlopper forum lately.
If you have any more questions, contact me.

Chat server / C# client

2002-08-15T17:40:52Z

First, thanks to Ebatsky we now have a working chat system, it curently implented on the linux server succesfully, the chat client able to communicate with it without getting the same text echo back to it. The whole thing real-time and the possibility to send per-line. efficient and fast. Great work Ebatsky! :)

As for me, i implented in the main client, version check, registration with open/closed beta verification and finally a package download code. It now play music as well but i'm not sure if this is the best way to do it yet...

Quite a few programmers in our team seem to be ghosts, so i posted new job ads, join our team if you're interested to devlop a very roleplaying oriented online rpg with us. We also need a music composer but they so rare to find >.<.

Login screen and second animation

2002-08-09T23:07:54Z

New goodness.
today i had some time at work, since they want me to learn Dot net, i spent my some time learning C#, so i did the authorization screen, it goes to connect to the mysql and pull back a confirmation, success or failure.
you can see the example there:
http://www.drowtales.com/code/loginscreen.exe
I couldn't find how to switch to full screen, guess i'll have to learn directx as well.

Here an animation for the trailer, in gif form since a avi would be too heavy.

Anybody can tell me how to upload source code? I logged in ssh but couldn't find how to upload.

We had the first IRC meeting, somewhat productive, hopefully we will create a format so that things will go better, however getting users to attend was unsuccessful, only 4 have come out of 12, however hopefuly we will get more attendance at the next meeting.
The Drowtales Server should be out soon for linux. and the client soon to follow after that.
