I find NPC scripts quite interesting, figuring it out. Drop files drive me to depression!

I actually pretty much hate everything.

But If I had to choose one it would be map making.

Are there any good map building programs out there? I never looked into making them as it looked pretty painful lol

You people make me sad :)
Map making was pretty much 95% of the enjoyment i had.

Worst, problably trying to balance item stats with mob stats for progression, adequately.

I enjoy map making, enjoy drop files, enjoy balancing, enjoy item/mob changes and spawns...

But **** me if I have to touch another complex NPC script so help me god I'll kill all of you.

The one thing that really bugs me, is how to manage spawn areas for mobs.
I hate the spawn errors when they bounce off of walls, correcting this is aiiids

I hated spawns before visualizer! I don't mind them so much now.

the players.

Hahah at you suckers complaining about mob spawns,

they are so easy on Zircon, just draw on the map (with the server) where you want the mobs to spawn and thats it done.

I seem to remember your spawns being terrible at launch. Have they improved?

"puzzle games" you mean building objects from libs?

are you sorting akaras' object list?

not making a server but I imagine it must be boring to work on char class (its items, skills) that you don't play or play only very little. I believe it is reflected in 'stale' or neglected war char setup on many or most servers which likely were put up by those who as players play wiz class (wiz is the most babied, pet class on just about any server, IMO)

but maybe its just wiz envy bubbling up :stung:
