Game Development: Through a Glass Darkly

[captainmorgan]

I've been thinking for some time that I should implement import/export of maps, so perhaps this should accelerate that project.

That would be very helpful, especially if it would handle our custom markers/flags and discovered quest givers, etc. Thanks!

if it's gonna take less than 6 months please do this

I don't suppose there's any kind of compensation for deaths relating to that bug with elixir timers, is there? Posting battle-scar

Any way we could make the "discovered" map information cached server side?

If a "discovered" flag were all that the server would store, then that would imply that it would be possible to arbitrarily fetch the latest map data, which I don't think is a particularly good idea.

I was thinking more along the lines of saving the data the player found, and not just getting the most recent version that sits on the server. That might run into drive space issues, though, and understand if that's bumping against the ceiling for storage limits. Still, if an import/export function is possible, that would at least give us a way to back up our map data. I more or less gave up on w11 when I lost my client installations after a drive failure. (There were like two, maybe 3 of us logging in every day, anyway, out of over a dozen that started the world, so that didn't really help, either.)

Just as long as it all includes the pins I make!!!

Finally a new exciting system to make glass! Damn better watch out for server stress with all the returning players

Well, if they don't all come flooding back at the thought of quicksilver poisoning I'm sure the new hat will do the trick!



I can no longer make towers, guessing they need planes of glass now, *sigh* ... not a fan of having to draw everything out these days tbh, Lye takes a ridiculous amount of time and the return on quicksilver isn't great. Hopefully glass blowing will lead to some new decorative items ... ?

It is a pretty sweet hat, though.

Yeah!!? That's the scary part I guess

The little cloud was a nice touch!
