> ResBaK seemed pretty good…
ResBaK was my source of Prospekt Online  -
> There's probably equal grade sources out there for like $50 from this site…
Atleast 1 example please?
If i will sell all features from Prospekt Reborn 1 by 1 as programming jobs, it will be more than 200€. And i am also selling entire site (with PAID theme, this is for you MP) . -
> I lol'd so hard my teeth fell out.
It´s reasonable price for that amount of work what i put into it. -
Really original idea i must say. But here is some things that annoys me:
* Why, oh god why Forumotion? 
* As Spencer correctly stated, what happens when you falls into that space between pipes (or you will make all pipes too small and easy to get from there, but that will defeat purpose of them.)
* And what about Nintendo?
Some ideas
You should add something like "pushing" system, so players can push other players to holes  -
> You've taken up a new game, while you were currently in development of another game. Smart. I don' know why you were given a sub forum for your game, or why you even asked for one, if you had plans for another project. Good luck selling Prospekt.
I had some reasons to start working on new game, and i decided to sell Prospekt before i started working on it, and not after i worked on it (as i said before, i had reasons for it. what i am not going to explain here). -
I decided to give up on this game and sell it. Why? I do not have that much time to work on 2 games at once, and i can´t make frequent updates for Prospekt Reborn anymore, becouse i am too busy.
**Pricing:** It won´t be cheap, i won´t go under 200€
Here is pros and cons in buying this game:
**Pros**
* Pretty stable game with solid playerbase
* Alread written lore, so making content will be easy
* Many exciting and unique features
* No additional programming needed for game, everything is already done
* Server can run 24/7 becouse of automatic server restarter
**Cons**
* You have to do all content from beggining, but as i stated above, you have lore
**Some info about Prospekt Reborn:**
Prospekt is running on Eclipse Origins modification called Eclipse Reborn (that modification is made by deathbeam, our coder). It is using DirectX8 for rendering and graphics and FMOD for music and sounds. Our game is programmed in Visual Basic 6\. Server is online 24/7 and it should´t have very high ping, so download an play! Maybe we will wipe accounts then and now, becouse of big planned updates, but remeber this is pre-alpha, so do not expect much. Game is using RPG Maker VX modified tiles by Celliana and Valkyria RMXP/VX modification.
More informations about game can be found [here](http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/community/index.php?/topic/131417-prospekt-reborn/) in Prospekt Reborn topic.

**IndieDB page**
Our Indie DB page have currently 60 watchers. Most of time, when i posted some news there, Prospekt IndieDB page jumped to top 100\. Once, it was 24th of all games there  -
> I like the fact that you are offering users to re arrange the UI, it was a big issue we had with Classic. Good idea though, It lets the user feel more in control of their client.
>
> Do you have a friend system in ?
I am glad that you like it  It is very easy for me to rearange GUI, becouse it´s fully rendered 
I have it planned. I thought about 2 methods of making it:
1. Make new form with RichText control, and use simple functions to add images and colored text to it, so you can see Online/Offline there with that´s players sprite (or only head) and name next to it
2. Almost same way, but i will use DX8 for rendering it, and it won´t be in new form -

Yea, but it´s only way how can i prevent spamming accounts in-game for now. I tried getting login details from forum database, but i failed at point of uncrypting passwords, and anyway i lost that code when my pc broke. And i am reworking entire GUI from that old Silverdales (have in-game almost completely done) 
**Some concepts:**
I thought about adding some sort of "modding" to game. So i decided that i can use SadScript for it. Basically, most of interface data will be loaded from it, for example:
* Drawing of names - modders can adjust colors, and what will be showed above players and NPCs
* GUI - modders can adjust GUI positions, width, height and texture used.
* Adding GUI windows - modders will have possibility to add new GUI windows, for example GUI bars won´t be in game by default, but modders can add them via SS
And for now, all graphics are encrypted via ZLib, but i thought about distributing unencrypted graphic pack for modders too.
That is all modifications what came on my mind what can be doable with SS and won´t enable free access for hackers. Feel free to post another modding suggestions here  -

1\. Whole game is blurred, but i was on small map, so on screenie you can´t see that effect
2\. I have them already planned (on my ToDo list in DeBuffs section) -

Hmm yea, you are not first who is saying to me that sending passwords isn´t good idea. I will remove sending them then  And thx
Finally finished entire Email sending and account activation from activation code.
**Motion blur:**

I had bots probably in my game. -

Becouse you put it in wrong sub…. Read tutorial carefully.
> is this done o-o just watchin since up up and bored..
Yea this tut is 100% working. -
RandomString function:
```
Public Function RandomString( _
ByVal length As Long, _
Optional charset As String = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789" _
) As String
Dim chars() As Byte, value() As Byte, chrUprBnd As Long, i As Long
If length > 0& Then
Randomize
chars = charset
chrUprBnd = Len(charset) - 1&
length = (length * 2&) - 1&
ReDim value(length) As Byte
For i = 0& To length Step 2&
value(i) = chars(CLng(chrUprBnd * Rnd) * 2&)
Next
End If
RandomString = value
End Function
``` -
> i fixed put one of the things in the wrong place good job Death!
I am glad that it is working  -

No, i hate that thing in EO  -
> So I told you that you needed a good story line and concept and you take zombies and mash it with fantasy and consider it good? Try again, thats been done.
Not in ORPG or MMORPG (or not very much). And i will write storyline, but for now i am in programming phase. -
What this does? It will simply disable casting spells throught walls or from corners. It is unreal when you can cast spell on someone who is for example behind castle wall, isn´t it?
This is only **server side** edit:
First, add this sub at bottom of modGameLogic:

Then search for Sub CastSpell and in this sub search for this:
```
Case 1, 3 ' self-cast AOE & targetted AOE

y = GetPlayerY(Index)
ElseIf SpellCastType = 3 Then

If TargetType = targetPlayer Then

Else
x = MapNpc(MapNum).Npc(target).x

End If
If Not isInRange(Range, GetPlayerX(Index), GetPlayerY(Index), x, y) Then
PlayerMsg Index, "Target not in range.", BrightRed
SendClearSpellBuffer Index
End If
```
And add this **under** it:
```
If Not isPathCleared(Index, GetPlayerX(Index), GetPlayerY(Index), x, y) Then
PlayerMsg Index, "Can not reach target.", BrightRed
SendClearSpellBuffer Index
Exit Sub
End If
```
Now search for this:
```

If TargetType = targetPlayer Then
x = GetPlayerX(target)
y = GetPlayerY(target)

End If
If Not isInRange(Range, GetPlayerX(Index), GetPlayerY(Index), x, y) Then
PlayerMsg Index, "Target not in range.", BrightRed
SendClearSpellBuffer Index
Exit Sub
End If
```
and add this **under** it:
```

SendClearSpellBuffer Index
Exit Sub
End If

> You think you do this like you can login by using your Email Address

> And just a thought could you release your day and night system?
1\. Yea, but i think better is logging via username becouse it is shorter
2\. Yea, but i won´t release torches and fluid day/night transition, just basic day/night with circle around player in night and with time engine. Maybe today  -
> nice work beam, this is great. is it possible you will add screen resolution?
Thx 
For now game have 640x480 resolution. In alpha i am not going to add resolutions, but maybe later i will add:
* 800x600
* 1024x768
Finally finished entire Email sending and account activation from activation code.
**Email activation:**
_Do you thought about spamming accounts into game? Hell yeah, forgot about it _
 -
Almost done with everything. Now only account activation is missing, but it will be short work.

Here is screenie of email what i received when i registered my account "thomas" into Realms of Miracle:
 -
> They are to BFS, Breadth-Fast-Search which is slow and Best-Fast-Search which is actually comparatively faster than A*
But A* is da best 
Btw for everyone: This pathfinding is real pathfinding, Ryoku just tested wrong snippet  -
> Your game reminds me a bit of AMC's The Walking Dead.

> Great job Can't Wait to play!
Thx  Now working on email sending and email account activation  -
> What I tested was that i set Each AI to seek out food/resources using the 2 different path finding solutions… BFS found the food .. your's didn't.
But in my game (RoM) that NPCs will always found me  Ok nevermind, right now i found real A* pathfinding code, so i will try to implement ti  -
So my pathfinding is not working? I do not understand what you are trying to show in that video  But it is searching for shortest path imo. But i tested it only on small map, so i can be wrong and maybe NPCs are just walking around blocked tiles.

Sound´s a little bit sarcastic with that "shit". If it isn´t then thx 
**Just a little update:**
Replaced hacky 3rd party EASendMail by Microsoft CDO, and this CDO is working alot better and another plus that i do not need to include another DLL with game
