In EO 3.0 there is already pathfinding lol  But this one is better, so i recommend replacing it.

Good

In VB.net? Wow

It´s pathfinding, i think everyone will got what it is

It'd be a much better tutorial than doing a half-arsed job and having to update it ~8 times before it actually works; you can also make it much harder for people who use it before any fixes.

Becouse i forgot that i changed names of listing constants and i thought it will 100% work

This is pathfinding, not new NPC AI  They will be smart only when they will try to kill you, and not when they are hanging around

I think all bugs are fixed (thx to Adiif for reporting them) so i hope everything is working 

[[WIP] Realms of Miracle]

Yea, but it is looking pretty good  But if you can make a little bit bigger ones, becouse this is barely visible 

And that´s just demonstration map

Zombie tamer can.. tame zombies  But that is not finished yet, so i am not giving more details 

For PvP Maybe, but for that i must make many modifications for PvP system to e less.. distracting for new players 

[Enhanced System paperdoll]

> share yes pls

Sorry but no  It´s my system, i sold copy of my source with it to Bug, but without my permission he can´t share it. Maybe i will decide to share it sometimes, but not now 

[Enhanced System paperdoll]

He wanna aura system (Bug, don´t share it pls  )

[[WIP] Realms of Miracle]

**This is getting creepier and creepier:**

_This is for now strongest torch in-game, other ones emmit less light _
