Nice to see this community is getting somewhere with a custom EO client. +1'd

Well actually, Exile is Exile-Studio's community. Also, There also have been like 3 clients that have actual networking and rendering including HotDog's client, Addision's client, and Exiles. We havnt really moved anywhere.

Well he posted this on EOServ so I figured he was sharing it with the community. I guess not.


I was working a on a client a few months back, I didn't get that far(Basic map rendering, animations, etc.).

EDIT; it was "coded" in C#XNA. I moved on permanently to C++.

Screenie:

Well its gonna be used for his server. Nice, map rendering looks pretty decent. Hotdog's were coded in C# DirectX and now hes switching to C++

Yeah, I remember giving Hotdog my graphics loader in C#. I told him I had quit on using C# already and that I hated the graphical renderers in C# so I moved back to C++. He kept on going. Apparently, he finally came to his senses :P
I haven't touched my client in awhile. Allegro is gay. I'm attempting to make my own wrapper of OpenGL and maybe learn a thing or two. I gave up on the EO client because the paperdoll rendering is such a bitch.

Lol, what was so much trouble about the Paperdoll rendering? Out of my curiosity.

Theres nothing particularly 'Difficult' about paperdoll rendering.

Its just rediculously time consuming and boring as hell. The most difficult part is getting the alignments just right.

Yep, he said it. Plus, I was working on weapons or whatever and I had a identical image of a character on EO client compared to my client and he was one pixel off on the x-axis. That was my breaking point where I was like "Fuck you Vult" and moved on. I am considering releasing the source code to let others figure it out since Allegro isn't that hard to work with.

If anyone is curious about my latest progress here's a little video. Progress has been slowed down here lately due to me being sick and having my wisdom teeth pulled last friday. How ever I'm still trying to push forward regardless of how I feel and have been working on getting the inventory implemented.

Edit - After working on a while longer I now have a bug fixed which stopped the equipment from rendering on the character in game and have the paperdoll items rendering on the gui.

Nice job so far, looks really nice! I like the changes you made to the GUI, they are far more intuitive than the original eo client. Also, how efficient is it? I know c# has automatic garbage collection like Java, but how much memory does this thing take :P?

Love you too.

Nice! Again looks really good, and don't let the whole ".net framwork is nub" thing slow you down, alot of steam games I've downloaded recently have required microsoft visual c++ or XNA so it's not like you are the only one using it haha. Keep up the good work I hope to see more progress in the future :P.

looks good, although for some reason EO gets that high in the begin because it tries to get the 30fps for the credits vult-r told me while he was working on the quest updates a few months back. good work although :). for the clothes and npc's etc. do you preload the graphics or load them 1 by 1 when needed?

Originally I developed like the GUI's and such with the graphics just preloading, but the other day I finished switching everything over to the caching method. So all graphics that get used in the client now use my caching method. They only load into memory when called for and are cleared out of memory if not accessed for over a minute to keep the memory freed up.

As you wish ^_^

Here's an updated video as of just a few minutes ago.

http://exile-studios.com/eseoclientinventoryupdate/

Just finally got what I have done of the inventory flawless. Keeping the items from stacking and going off the edge of the inventory is a pain in the ass. Anyways the updates since the last video are roughly the following:

• Smoother font rendering - Adjusted the font size scaling.
• Word wrapping fixed - Before it would cut a word in half and drop it to the next line, but now it drops the last whole word down to the next line.
• Fixed many item stacking inventory glitches along with other bugs that were involved in the current inventory features.
• Weight is now drawing.
• System time is now drawing - This is toggable between 24-hour and 12-hour time in the config.
• Probably more shit that I'm just not remembering right this moment .

Sorry, I cannot be bothered to check the entire thread. Does it work with a server? or just single player atm?
