Re: Mystery screenshot
Why not just make it 3d?

Re: Mystery screenshot
Because it'd require writing a decent model loader. 
And that'd take more time. The code is partially ready should I want to do that though, at least the structure of things..
Re: Mystery screenshot
hm I guess it would be harder. And it would mean you would need to render each object 8 or more views.

Re: Mystery screenshot
With a full, good 3D implimentation, you could model the world (gtkRadiant style) and have presets that can be dropped into the world if desired.
Re: Mystery screenshot
Some even claim it is 3D already....:p
Re: Mystery screenshot
Well, a NWN-style 3D wouldn't be all that hard, but it _would_ be more work and I'd like to get to game mechanics as soon as possible, since truth be told I don't like working on graphics code, and above that it can't be reused as server code, whereas properly done game mechanics can, so I figure it's more productive to get through the graphics code as quickly as possible, admittedly doing a decent job on it.
Mind you for the current client, 2D art for paperdolling is easily 80% of the size of the download, and that could be reduced significantly if the models were 3D. I'd say the client might even fit in 20 or 30 megs. So it's really a question of priorities. And that's pretty low on the list.

Seems to be fine, I left it alone for a day so hopefully it's dried by now
Re: Mystery screenshot
My mouse gets really wierd when it rains and gets cold... like those spring-time rains we didn't get this year. It gets really funky... like, clicking makes it do scroll-wheel functions and stuff.

Re: Mystery screenshot
Please tell me you aren't bringing back that weird 3d view from beta 
I also think adding invite to party, ignore, tell and some other chat functionality to that new popup looking window would be a good idea (and perhaps commands like mute/kick/warp to for GMs?), if it hasn't been mentioned. Typing all of that as a moderator got annoying, even with Spec's nifty little script:)
Re: Mystery screenshot
yea more jp options.

tyrannus: That's server side
Re: Mystery screenshot
What about something like CTRL + RIGHT_CLICK brings up the little window?
