Forum :: Client Editing :: EODEV Information

Weather is going to be controlled serversided-ly, the advantage of this is so that we can have a 'rolling' effect whereas the rain/snow moves across various maps (although some maps can rain forever).

Hmm.

Kudos, really nice client. If it gets done so there are any custom clients to eo i will make give eo another try. Add some cool easter eggs :P

that is the best way to handle weather. it  gives developers control over the way weather works in there particular world.

It would also be cool if you could add buff slots and an image in the corner of the screen that shows what buff is currently running and how much time is left. Also a way to click a character and view their information. Not just what they are wearing but how much HP and TP they have as we'll as running buffs. Good job, nice to see some change. +1

Buffs are a good idea! However not so much of a fan as the hp and buff thing, I think that should only be visible if you're in their party. :p Alot of this stuff requires modifications server sided. I might have to include a copy of a modified EOServ if this is the case.

How are you making the weather system? My idea would to have it on a timer, and everyday it its a randomized percentage of (Rain, Sun, Clouds, Hail, Snow) or maybe you could do it to where it all depends on the time of the year. For instance, summer would be sunny 95% of the time, winter would be sunny but chance of rain/snow. I just figured id throw out my idea with that whole system, i'm curious what your plan was for that exactly.

What would be so epic is if you could some how detect a users location, and grab the current weather from that area. so if in cali its sunny, but in new york it was pouring rain, it would display that in game too. That would be pretty fucking epic, but i'm not sure how possible that would be exactly..

the problem with making weather localized to each client would be people from different locations in the world  in the same map would see completely different weather conditions it would be completely confusing and contradictory to creating a virtual world for everyone to experience at the same time.

I am very glad you're still working on this and am excited to see .png image support finally completed, though I will have see how well it works first. Don't stop and great work!

The good times are killing me.

Thought I'd post a minor update notice, Implementing the new GUI wild supplied for me. Looking good so far!

It wouldn't be hard to implement that at all, and I have considered it already :) It's on my list of things to maybe do once I finish everything else lol. I need to know the feel of the game before I add big things such as zoom features first hah

I don't see how this would work. Does eomain not limit map updating to a range just like eoserv does? or can you just request any part of the map at any time?

The server does not limit the client(s) to how large of a portion of the map it'll display. It will, however, as you said, not show out of range players/NPCs by default. (Using EOSERV, not even a possibility).

EOMain has this slight flaw of returning replies for NPCs out of range, so you can pretty much see where any of them are (same map only). I forgot how it reacts to player data. I think it's the same, but you have to be on the same map too.

Wish upon a star!

I don't think that is actually a flaw. Considering the fact that the mini-map must use out of range data, it is probably necessary. if you are building your own you should redesign the mini-map feature completely. It seems a bit ugly on the EO client.
