Hello and welcome to Project Pooeybum based off of Runesource.
My aim in this project is to create a source, to be released, which will be easy to use and have fully functioning combat (the bit people are scared of having to write themselves). So far I have had what I consider to be great progress. There are bugs, lots of them. Hopefully not too many in my combat system, but as for the rest of the source I find myself stumbling into one every few minutes. (I do fix them :P)
So to summarise:
What I have done:
Fix quite a few bugs
Add an entity based combat system
Added most of the combat related spells (just gotta get off my ass to add the rest)
Ranging with everything except throwing knives working
Added the interfaces for weapons
Loaded item bonuses via an xml file.
Actually, I loaded quite a lot of additional stuff via xml.
Learnt that people who write good combat systems deserve a pat on the back.
I hate all this business of writing all your goals and then colouring them all red (who cares what you intend to do but haven’t yet done)
Anyway, here is a video to show that I mean business:
ALSO! If anyone knows the emote for casting slayer darts’ id… I will be very happy.
UPDATES:
As of yesterday I added a special attack system and so far have the dragon dagger and the whip working. I used the old whip effect instead of the new one (you either hit nothing or your max hit)
Weapons with the suffix ‘§’, ‘(p+)’ or ‘(p++)’ all now do poison damage at the correct amounts.
Ancient spells have now all been added including area effects and poison effects. The health drain and attack draining effects have not been added yet. End graphics all are at the right heights now (unlike in the video).
As I am releasing this for /YOUR/ use I would really appreciate your input as to what you would like to see. (Obviously leave anything too interesting for you to do yourself :))
I think the entire development may be broken as the source no longer works with any client unless I remove NPC loading and I have no clue as to why.
Note on the above: I got a client to work again but that is the last time I even attempt to compile the client, yet alone try and get prayer head icons. Clients just hate me.
[size=10pt]IN REGARDS TO THE NAME: [/size] This is the internet. What did you actually expect? This place has the maturity of a toddler and a dick to prove it. I think you fellas need to stop judging a book by its cover. It’s not like the name means shit anyway, it is going to be released straight away. I repeat, IT IS NEVER GOING TO BE HOSTED BY ME, WITH THIS NAME.
The first prototype has been released!

Note on the development: As far as I am concerned I have achieved my goal with this. I have released a copy of Runesource that has fully functioning combat and I feel the rest is up to you. I’ll be moving onto developing my own server from this now. Goodluck,
