[Development] Mu Online Client/Server remake project

[PsychoGod]

it looks great, nice remake

 

[Dode]

If you'll keep working so fast we'll have MU3 earlier than MU2 keep going!! Very good job Andro

 

[Netzo]

can somebody help us with the items stuff? including sets and weapons?
i'm making the maps and someone is making the monsters stuff, no time for sets
no C++ knowledge, no coding a single line, just clicking "file import save" etc like 10k times
:viking:

edit: starting bc

Damn, I want to be a part of this unreal beast remake.
Tell me what to do, you can contact me via skype: xnetzo

Hi, i started to write a graphic engine, for learning porpuse and a collage project simulation, then i realized that i could start using that knowledge for making/remaking games, just like mu online or any other game.

100% Engine Source Code, including Client and Server, i don't use externals library without source (except DirectX and some image libraries).

Client

• DirectX wrapper based on OGRE
• Materials system includen techniques and pass, based on OGRE
• Own Shader system, including DirectCompute.
• Own Animation system, including both software and hardware shader animation, i will add VTF (Vertex Texture Fetch) soon.
• Resource managers, Scene stuff, objects/Entities/WorldObjects are based on Irrlicht Engine and Game Engine Architecture (
  You must be registered to see links
  )
• Well, of course, it does have some personal tricks =)
• GUI System is based on CEGUI.
• GAME GUI is 100% own work. (including inventory, bars, items, etc)
• Pathfinding is based on the well known Recast/Detour project, i also added a custom, self made grid path finding system (no navmesh support of course, it is not a mesh, is a grid.)

Server

• GameServer was build from scratch
• Pathfind and AI based on Recast/Detour
• Almost 100% own design, except networking, game protocol and attribute system.
• Octree implementation in world nodes design. (request players in range now is O(log n))
• Collision engine is 100% done.
• Wrapper including both Physx and Bullet (i like bulletPhysics since it is open source

I also coded a map/world editor, and create a 3dsMax plugin to export data (actually, just rewrite an older one)

I New system, it works like diablo 3 auction house, u can put items, buy them, etc, most rpg have that system.
You can search, for example, dp armor at least +7, at least +4 opt, w/without luck and u will get the match list, u can buy it just using Gold/Zen.

I need people to work with monsters and create the maps, atlans, tarkan etc...
no C++ knowledge required, if anyone is interested, send pm

GM how do you plan to secure the client from hacks?

 

[GM-Andromeda]

1) i dont use unreal engine, i dont know how to use it, this was explained in the first page a while ago.
2) no need to quote the main post to say something.
3) i dont worry about security right now, i dont even care...
4) first twisting screenshot, of course, no effects so far

 

[4pLay]

needs a little more muscle
character details...

but still! great job!

 

[marecznyjo]

Great job!

About twisting slash. Weapon should also be rotated locally when spinning around character. But it's hard to say how your remake really looks like from the screenshot.

i know what u mean, i've noticed that effect but i think it does not affect all weapons.
maybe i am wrong, but i can fix it in 5 minutes, it's just a simple local rotation.


edit: can u notice the hd for textures? look at leg armor details

 

[GM-Andromeda]

some extra dp hd:

 

[marecznyjo]

Awesome!

But there is a lot of work ahead of you with Chaos Mix :< Im curious how well you'll be able to recreate game battle mechanics.

Saving images for web would be great!
Long loading time here.

A question,
Do you have a GUI Editor or you edit manually?

 

[GM-Andromeda]

A question,
Do you have a GUI Editor or you edit manually?

dont have a GUI editor, but i dont even need that, i just create a button in code, then set "isMovable = true", "canresize = true" and then i can go to the game, click it and move it, once it's on the right position and size, i save that position/size and recompile.
child windows, same process, maybe it's not "good" to have that info, like size, etc, hardcoded in the executable, but i dont have time to create a gui editor.

so yea, do it "manually" with some tricks to make them easy to create.

How much of original MU do you intend to keep? I mean, what will u recreate completely the same and what will you modify?

Also, what is your MVP (Minimum Viable Product)? Which functions do you want to make to call it "First release"?

 

[GM-Andromeda]

to keep original maps, probably need to "recreate" them all in 3dsmax, maya or blender... this is, put every wall/door/tree in place, that would take time, and i dont have time.
MVP? dont know...

and, of course, it's obvious i will not finish this... do the math, one map design = 24hs, all dw skills... dont know, but no less than 100hs work. machine mix? store? i can do both in 1 day full time , now count events, 30 maps, a lot of details, etc...

will need 400, 500 hs, maybe 800/1000?... i wont do it, and i wont release anything because there will be no "viable product" to release. One guy with no time, not team => impossible

 

[marecznyjo]

That's why you should figure way to get some money out of it. It's a great work and you should be payed for it.

Im familiar with Blender (Im not an 3d artist tho) but I think ill be able to recreate the maps. Im also C# developer but I have no experience of Ogre or Irlicht or real time server programming. But hey, nothing that can't be learned ;d

I dont have a lot of private time, but I can help if you see any place for me.

PS: Setting a goal (MVP) would help you gather a team. People tend to be more ambitious when there is a finish visible.

@andromeda
Not that much brother , you just need a faster way to finish things faster =D
and maybe u can find someone to work with indeed.

Well i dont think he can make moeny with copyrighted textures and files from other game "MuOnline" you need a proof that you own everything before you sell a game
and graphics/models are very important i suppose.

Thats why he is taking his time doing it slowly etc untill who knows when he'll be ready.

 

[laudaicat]

Good job, i stopped my work because im very busy, i will come back after few week and compare with you soon ^^!
