New DSM Woool Server 1.9.5.5

[howie]

Time

After 14 months of working away for the most part (in reality the last few years) I am having a break, my contract finishes Friday.

I intend to spend a full 2 weeks on trying to get a working new Woool.

This is a full time commitment, not just a few hours here and there.

Once we get a working model (with luck) then I will do my best to get it rehexed and translated working all my spare time i have.

I know there are many of you who also want to help or form a team.

So from next Monday it will be all hands on deck !!

Lets pool what we can and work together.

I have a server doing hardly nothing, the biggest Woool player database around. I am interested in a long time server (nothing new there) but there is no reason why we cant share recources and someone else can run an identical high rate one.

If your interested and can contribute please let me know.

Re: Time

Well alot of people played his current one lol, problem was he did nothing with it, no updates, no added items. Had nothing much to do after Lv.40 lol

But if this one is decent with more stuff to do and a good rate of exp then i guess i could swing by lol

Thats not true.

We exhausted what we had, squeezed out as much as we could.

Everyone else had the same server files and also had the oportunity to try to do more with it.

Our version has much much more han the released version.

Re: Time

After level 40.. BloodPalace, Ashura, DeathShore, StoneCave, leveling dose get slow at level 40, but remember 1.8 woool, ashura which is the level 43 cave was the last cave in the game, Mick added them new maps and people are only just over 50, so you need to re think that "lack of updates" comment, and just admit you can't handle a low rate server.

Re: Time

Lol i can handle a low rate perfectly fine thanks, infact its usually the only ones i play.

An i don't remember seeing any added caves after Ashura, which is why i got bored and left.

Re: Time

The thing is no matter what you do to a server peeps get bored and move on.

Some are simply too blind or lazy to find out new areas or read the dedicated forum, but are quick to criticise anything they dont have the ability to do for themselves.

A new woool would be ok for a few months then the user count will drop.

I do this for ME and only me, anyone that want to come along for the ride or the experience are welcome, moaners and whiners set up your own game so we can come marvel at YOUR efforts.

As long as someone logs in occasionally my servers stay online, ours has been on for many years and yes its very tired and dated.

Only a team effort and not a team moan will hopefully get us an updated long term server

Re: Time

Doing a good job by the looks of things.

But, a few questions lol.

1. You said spells are translated, but do they actually work? and properly?
2. How does that item upgrade thingy work, if you know?
3. Are there new mobs in this version (Saw a blue ghosty thing on the first screeny)
5. Do hero's have combo skills, or skills of their own? and do they work as they should?
6. What's the point of that fire bar? lol

Re: Time

never did wool much...would love to a server with a little increase xp rate than the old one..

I havee to ask though is it possible to translate everything like interface, dialogues etc

 

[Sanity]

Re: Time

There never been a 1.9 server and no one knows how it runs with low rate, so making a high rate before a low rate.. is that wise? i don't think it is, due to the hero's need to be carfully you don't mess them up. 1.8 felt boring due to the lack of things to do, 1.9 is a whole new playground, tons off stuff to do.

Silent yes everything can be translated.

a bit early yet, been experimenting with different server files. thx to another member here (credits given when we go live)

1. They need to be unpacked to re hex code to english (most important)
Up to now we have managed to unpack them all.
2. Launcher must work with them (This we have) thx to a certain member here (credits given when we go live)
3. They need to be stable. (not easy as any silly script error can cause a crash)
4. They must have the latest features (if Poss)

The graphics and new features are awesome if we can get them all to work.

Up to now we have done nothing but test out loads of different server files, We have wasted so much time in the past and last week, translating only to find we have to start all over again because of newer files.

Rest assured we have spent many hours on this and will keep you informed onece we have the best set.

If anyone is hoping for a high rate server that you can level up in a couple of weeks and visit every mob and cave then our server is NOT for you.

Why the hell should we waste weeks/months on server files to have someone play for 2 weeks and leave, we hope to start the server with a completele new start for ALL players and be online for years like our last one.

here are a few more pics:

Re: Time

I hope your not using the P.Y Engine still o.o, well could use it and hope the user count wont go over 68 :P, hell if it dosnt then il get you a 1.979 enginepunk:.

Them screenshots you showing, before you got to that map, did you first see 2 npc's in a little room? if so i got them files and they are crap, i have 1.970 offical layout files but will only run on A.F.T, well would run on something atleast 1.96+ but with errors. If i can get them working for 1.93-55 il send you them.

Not been through the Mob DB yet. the pic above shows a pk/mob these are EvilMobs that we can assemble using any item or magic from the game (the wiz with a blue bubble is a mob)

The Hero system is awesome but have not spent as much time on that as I would like to, Hero spawns fine and we can add selected items to it. hero has his own paperdoll and bag, he can take pots from his/her wiz/war/tao bag to add hp/mp to themselves. I have not sussed out adding magic to it yet but i will. What is really nice is there is a kind of smoke rises from the Hero and gives it a ghostly look. The Hero levels seperately than you, i when your 46 you can get one, the hero starts at level 35

From waht we can tell most of the magics work but have no idea what saint does when you put it on a mob yet

see picture for hero:
