Helbreath In 800x600

Aryes · Post by **Aryes** » Mon Apr 24, 2006 11:29 pm

Something I've been working on the past few days, after Cleroth gave me the idea: helbreath on a 800x600 res.

As always... you rox Aryes !

I was "working" on 800*600 client yesterday with cleroth, changing the size was really easy but what about displaying ennemies on all the viewable map ?

Does the HG have more datas to send? or is it already sent by hg and we just have to edit the client for displaying objects in the new tiles ?

Anyways i think now you'll have to allow warriors to run faster... or they'll be killed the easy way by archers and wizzards. Now they can see and attack farther :-/.

The monsters all over the screen is the only problem i have now, I'll look into it tomorrow, everything else is working fine and running smooth.

For the warriors running faster, i think that if you add a range for magics and make it display like : "too far to cast" would help a lot too.

Sorry, I didn't understand what are you trying to say... If you are refering to the graphics that are 640x480, usually the ones with that size are the login and character screen ones. For these ones, just centralizing the graphics on the screen will still give a good result.

For the ones used ingame that uses the whole x or y of the screen, like the icon bar, you will need to edit it like I've did.

*EDIT* by the way, check the DEF_OBJECTMOVE_CONFIRM and the function _ReadMapData inside client source, and the function iComposeMoveMapData inside hgserver source for the monsters on the screen, you should know what to do

cleroth = idea whore!!!

For mage casting perhaps you can add a semi transparent red box where mages can cast the spell. You can probably go ahead and create a new skill called range% that way lol. Or make new spells certain ranges. But i still think transparent red is the way to go, too much power 800x600 distance

Just 800x600 has been done a long time ago, in the early hb2 days.

Good job Daniel I would say

(Btw this is no advertising,I hope, since its not up)

... And gserver side is not difficultc.
Mainlly concerns SendEventToNearClient_TypeA/B, iComposeInitMapData, iComposeMoveMapData & maybe a few more functions.
But we must keep in mind the poor performence of HB graphic engine, and the increased Internet load (and Lag)

They've fixed the monsters that doesn't appear off the rect bound of 640x480?

In fact, the internet load will raise a lot, since everytime the player moves or data is updated around him, the server need to send around 25% more data.
