Please forgive me I have sinned.
When you try to make your Barb a Dancing Girl but disregard the Bones
Please forgive me I have sinned.
Wow, that's... umm... I'm not sure, but it looks painful.

ECM Animation Manager. Stck Editor. Rest we already got for the most part. Steve Langley is currently working on this type of thing, should partner up.
I don't know if this information will be of any help but here it is.
Code:// Bone flags enum { FLAG_FAKEBONE = 0x01, }; // State blend mode enum { BM_NORMAL = 0, BM_COMBINE, BM_EXCLUSIVE, BM_ABSTRACK, }; // Transition flag enum { TRANS_POS_X = 0x01, // Position X TRANS_POS_Y = 0x02, // Position Y TRANS_POS_Z = 0x04, // Position Z TRANS_POS = 0x07, // Position TRANS_ORI = 0x08, // Orientation TRANS_ALL = 0x0f, // All flags }; // Struct used to save and load bone struct BONEDATA { BYTE byFlags; // Bone flags int iParent; // Parent bone's index int iAnimJoint; // Animation joint's index int iNumChild; // Number of children A3DMATRIX4 matRelative; // the matrix bring vertex to parent space A3DMATRIX4 matBoneInit; // Initial bone offset matrix }; // A struct that will hold the state transition data for this bone. struct TRANSITION { bool bDoTrans; // true, doing transition DWORD dwTransMask; // Transition mask A3DVECTOR3 vStartPos; // position of start state A3DQUATERNION quStartRot; // orientation of start state int iAllTime; // total transition time int iCurTime; // time elapse of transition }; // Blend state of bone struct STATE { A3DQUATERNION quOrientation; // Blend orientation A3DVECTOR3 vPos; // Blend position float fWeight; // Weight of matrix int iBlendMode; // Bone blend mode };
I guess that's the real question, should I get back into developing?
Of course, I won't be working totally in the dark with me having
certain "classified" sources from 1.0 to 3.1 that I can rely on. For
example, here is a screenshot of the 2.2 sources:
... and the 3.1:
... and other sources such as:
It is definitely more than enough to write many different tools for games
based on this engine. Of course, any tools written will be closed source
for obvious reasons.
you really should. I love making custom animations and models for this game but the main problem is having to do every single change by hand its a real nightmare.
I have alot of hand made models and animations that I have hand made but cannot very accurately convert them or bring them in.
I also have plugins (and the sources) for exporting bones, meshes, animations, etc from 3dsmax 2009.
Using these, you can create custom meshes and animations inside 3dsmax and export then to the game.
Other tools include things such as making quests, creating new terrains and populating them with
structures (litmodels) and npc's, audio editor, skills, gfx editor, mod editor, task editor, UI editor, animation
editor, as well as the entire source to a certain wanmei game (but only the client). I guess being friends with
someone who is a programmer for them has its advantages. In time, I hope to get the complete server-side
sources but will just have to wait and see. Currently, he is working on another game but on the mobile
platform. I can't say any more than that.
Obviously, I cannot release these sources but can use them as guides to write useful tools for the community.
I suppose the 3dsmax plugins may be the most useful right away so I can work on those. If you don't have
3dsmax 2009, I'm sure you can find it online somewhere. If not, let me know and I'll upload it somewhere.
I'll have to start a new thread with these development projects. Not sure how long it'll take so keep checking
back for updates, etc.
This info will certainly help out. Ping me on skype :)

Why not partner up all the badass developers of PW area and start developing the game from scratch using Unreal or Cry Engine. Angelica 2 sucks. Make Archoursaur alive. Are you guys played The Witcher 3? Imagine the city life of The Witcher 3 in PW. Will be awesome. The name of the game is simple: Awesome World
Create a new company and say b-bye to Perfect World Co.
Yeah, Angelica 2 is pretty outdated and Angelica 3.1 is getting outdated as well. Not sure what Angelica 4 will be like as it is still in development. I have been considering putting together an engine but the only thing stopping me is thinking about the years of work I'm going to have to put into it. The first step in any engine required paper, pencil and a whole lot of thinking to plan it out...
Yep. But PW has a great history and to avoid problems with copyright would be necessary change a little bit. But I guess that after few months in development (build maps and create at least 1 character) would be enough to start a crowdfunding. People approve MMORPG but PW sucks as well (not just the engine) the items price are extremely expensive, and we don't see a balanced game. Just new items with more OP attributes and everyone know that the Chinese just create this items to earn more money and sell saying that is for balance the game. Bullshit.I'm a web developer and I know that game development is complicated but talking as player I would support, if I see a new game sharing a similar "universe" with PW.
