And once again, you probably mean feature instead of future. xD Somebody corrected you on this in your thread.

yah sorry my English is still 50 50, but yah let me know if you need any help

if you need someone give you feedback or something feel free to add me in Skype if you use you guys are welcome to message or call i will be happy to give any feedback i can, or private message me will be fine to.

It would be great if you write your skype name though, I'll post the next version of the interface now
Version Original: open spoiler
Version Metallic Silver: open spoiler
- All the white = transparent
- The small menu buttons on the bottom right, as you hover them, they'll show what they really are example "Inventory". Since I know the buttons on conquer is 2 images together.
So yeah, this time as I said, I would make it more original and make things more transparent.

Feedbacks are always appreciated.

I like the first one a lot. They're both amazingly beautiful and unique. The buttons look a bit small though, and I think there should be a better transition to them (besides a cut or fade in). I can't even see what the buttons are. Some text along with it would be nice (that's how I'd want the buttons to be at least - so I can easily read them).

We will ship more versions. You will be able to pick one at the launcher. The buttons are rather small, thats what i told joe aswell, he tries to make them bigger. About the text: He said he´s able to make a text popup/tooltip if your mouse hovers over it.

Thx for feedback, yes I'm definitely working on the buttons. However the graphic inside it, I got it from google somewhere and the resolution and image quality becomes so terrible as I make it bigger. It's still just as explainable.

Though, I was thinking if I have hover effect to explain. That will let people understand what the buttons are, and they'll probably get used to them aswell.

Well that's my conclusion, but this is no final version ofc.

:3

Testing stage is closing in. It's just around the corner now

I will inform that we still do not have active 2 testers for daytime and nighttime. Which would mean as following: GMT+2 (1:00 PM - 9:00 PM) and the night time testers from (10:00 PM - 4:00 AM) which is best suited for people living in the US or Canada.

As for the latest video Yuki posted.
The multicharacter selection system was coded for this project, the prototype is the on the video. We've improved it now. And here's a little information for all the upcoming players:
Account: Gets 3 free character slots. You may unlock 3 more additional slots by spending CrystalPoints (CP is donational Cash or obtainable through events)
This amount of unlockable character slots will be increased to 5.

However the AoE taoist skill code, was coded back when I was doing AstaCo. However since we are to remove all skills and make new stuff like that one, we will probably not use this, but you might find something similar in the game later on.

I hope you guys are still following us, and that you're lookign forward to try out our project.
If you wish to join the team or as a tester, feel free to contact either fuzionxt or thejoe67 on skype.

Comment to VideoBlog #6:
Hey guys, video blog 6 is coming here soon, I've been working over weekend to today which was the deadline for the skill system.

I first made a base core for every skill to pass through, and afterwards the hardcoding of every skill individually. They're all customized and created out of imagination, and I'm suppose to be coding in all the skills we are to accept. That's going to be pain in the ass later on well yeah, have fun watching our video blog.

The interface seems kinda dull. Don't get me wrong, I do like it, but maybe change the buttons around (trade, team, options, etc), and maybe a different color. But yeah, everythings looking good. good luck with your server

^ this guy hasn't seen the 2nd version of it, and decides to post without reading the whole thread =P

Why are you still going with the classic hard coded style of handling skills?

The magic type file contains all the information one might need to know to handle skills and allows to to simply write a handler and then add new skills as needed by a simple database entry and client modification.


It's far from a perfect example of it but I wrote a basic TQ inspired skill handler for redux and it works quite nicely and handles everything quite well in testing.

Thats not how our skills will work. Our skill system is nothing like TQ´s. It might be a good idea to use that way if we would aim to be a conquer server. However we just use conquer as a base. Did you even watch the 6th video? TQ´s system wouldnt even allow that kind of skills :)
