Proof of Concept - Map/Monster Scale

[pcs_ffchen]

More messing with non-standard stuff, now imagine this used in a boss fight (well, it'll be used in our Phoenix Castle boss fight).

i love you and your ideas, they are soo creative. to be honest i liked your guard system better then the video you made for the size XD

the guard system was super Super! creative. just need to use prob like 3-4 only and not to close to each other.

Had no idea you could change the players zoom. nicely done.

Was pretty cool of you to share the code behind it too

[LordGragen.]

sorry for off topic you mind how you made your guards walk around? and how you made it using the police garment and the weapons, it was rly cool XD

@Garen: Take a few minutes to think about what would cause that action... it's pretty simple when you think about it.


Spawn Entity packet is the same packet regardless of if you are spawning a monster or a player. The only difference is some fields that are not used by each entity type. You can always just create guards that look like players (complete with weapons, garments and full gears if you wanted). You can then write whatever AI you want which would include things like walking, patrol routes, jumping, skills/cooldowns/etc.

It's all just based on how you want your server to work and how you write it.

I'm pretty sure the client also has supports for mobs holding equipment but I've never experimented with it so I couldn't say 100 percent for sure.

Atleast an octo can hold weapons, showed engputer us on the twitch tv video

I'm pretty sure ACO had it implemented as well.

[chizzler]

you can change players zoom by scrolling the mouse wheel

That isn't what this is. It's zooming the model.

Pay attention to what happens when the scroll factor is 0.0 < x < 1.0, scrolling the mouse wheel alone won't let you do that.

Is it a packet for itself or is it a part of ex. spawn packet? Tried messing a bit around with unknown offsets, but can't seem to figure it out. Not that it's a big deal if you don't want to share it though xD

[pcs_ffchen]

It's an extension to the spawn packet

	case 10014: // spawn entity
		{
			int32_t objId = *((int32_t*)&msg[8]);
			if (objId < 1000000) // is monster
			{
				zoom_percent = *((int16_t*)&msg[0xb7]);
				size_add = *((int16_t*)&msg[0xb7+2]);
			}
			break;
		}

Will be seeing what I can figure out, thank you!
