iSnow Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 @Rob:> Head rendered over the bodyAh, ok. Now I know how I want to make custom bodies to work with this XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Janes Posted October 4, 2011 Author Share Posted October 4, 2011 For those wanting to try it out as it currently stands, you can download the tech-demo 'tentatively called Aloria Online' as it was a name I had for a game a long time ago and still had the domain ;) I'm cheap that way.Bare in mind this is the build as it stands today. There is no story, no maps, this is merely to show the engine progress so far.You can create an account (UI still in the works) and create your character (Still in the process of taking the heads and bodies apart from the old sprites). You can log in and enjoy map #1, a poor forest with an NPC offering a quest ;)This includes a patcher so any updates can be installed as I release them, unless I make a change to the installer.http://www.splatteredgame.com/Setup.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rithy58 Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 @Rob:> -snip-I like that name. Aloria Online.And how does your auto-updater work? Is it the one Robin made and release or something else?Sincerely,Rithy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Janes Posted October 4, 2011 Author Share Posted October 4, 2011 A few minor changes i'm working on right now.1\. The Register Account window now displaying proper information as well as asking forAccount namePasswordConfirm PasswordFull NameEmail Address2. After you've ran the patcher and launched the game, the game will look for a patcher update and install it incase I made a change to the patcher as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammer Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 look good rob… you plain add some features? or only work on interface? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rithy58 Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 So in a way, the patcher can patch itself.That's cool. Almost the same as Robin's. The only difference now is how you get the updates. I think Robin's new updater compare files for differences then download if there is a different. It's better than downloading like 50s version.rarSincerely,Rithy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Janes Posted October 5, 2011 Author Share Posted October 5, 2011 The player only downloads the patches between their current version and what's hosted on the server. It doesnt compare file sizes, like Robin's does.@Hammer, what do you mean make features? Did you check out the quest system, hotkey j or the who's online list hotkey o, the head/body selector, the weather system plus whatever else varies fromA stock CSDE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schnurman Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Rob I tried updating the game but every time the updater ends it shows the message:"Run-time error '5' :Invalid procedure call or argument", any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Janes Posted October 5, 2011 Author Share Posted October 5, 2011 Can you screenshot the error so I see when you are receiving it?Are you running it from the shortcut installed to your program files or desktop during installation?What happens with the patcher is once it's done loading and you hit next it loads dontrun.exe and then destroys the patcher process. If it's dieing during that phase, it's not finding dontrun.exe so it's not installed properly, or it is getting to the client and missing a file.Take a screenshot and link it so I can better understand the issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alatar Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Nice work :), i'm trying to register an account by it keep saying "Version outdated. Please run the autoupdater". I've already done that like 5 times :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Janes Posted October 5, 2011 Author Share Posted October 5, 2011 Do you get the invalid procedure call when you hit the next button? Try running game.exe as an administrator and see if you get the same issue, the only thing I can think is that insufficient permissions when the patcher calls the kill command.I know the cause of the version outdated error, that's a screw up on my end on the server when it records a new entry into the player file, I'll have it fixed shortly.

Thanks for everything though.I just updated the server, you can run DontRun.exe now and play the game and make your account. Thanks for catching that bug Schnurman.As for the patcher, did you try running as an Admin? If you slide the patcher out of the way when you get the error message, what files are in the folder? is there a tmpUpdate.ini and a Game_New.exe ?

Rob Janes Posted October 5, 2011 Author Share Posted October 5, 2011 A big thanks to everyone who came out and tested the game in the last few days.Over the coming days, there's a lot in store for 'Aloria'.1\. Additional Layers (Hair, Shirt, Pants) for complete character customization. These layers will change depending on what you equip.2\. Barbershops to change your hair style.3\. Improved character creation window to select Gender, Facial Feature, and default body (yes you'll start in your underwear!!)I'm very pleased to bring aboard many volunteers to the development team.Schnurman - Lead Artist - creating our many sprites and layers as well as assisting in tilesets and keeping the overall artistic feel of the game on track.Bean / Alatar - MappingMbs (Not from the forums, but from Samu Games) - Community LeadTogether, I think this has a lot of potential! I will continue posting updates as we go, and yes, the engine mods will still be available ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
