LaTale NA Server C OGPlanet

good luck^^ id help but things like that confuse mexD so ill just wish you luck in your project and hopefully it gets made into the first latale pserver:D(i know ill join and i got some friends that proabably will to when its done) so good luck:D

oh , good luck..

good luck, i can help in hosting, if needed send me pm

C# source?

Yup
LaLore is very unstable when you start the game the CPU jumps to 100% usage so unless you have C# expirience and stuff and you know how make it more stable don't try.. I tried to mess up with the source but w/o success since I don't really understand how packet structures works and stuff...

Jinx, I have C# knowledge, and i suggest just too either recode LaLore or make your own C# source, As you've said it's too unstable.

Agreed :3
I'm going to work on a new source, unless I can get in touch with JohnnyBravo

I still am looking for developers who would like to team up, all you have to do is just PM me ^_^~

Johny actually has a very good source, with mobs I think NPCs and stuff.
I don't think he'll give his source and co-operate with anyone that just came here. ._.

I did not just "come here" I've been watching this section from the beginning. And I'm sure Johny would love someone to help him.

Prolly but his source is in C++ not C#

I'm pretty familiar with C++ I really prefer it over C# .-. But I'm still trying to get in contact with him. You can add me on MSN and talk to me about this more though ;p

I added you what is your nick since I'm using my mother's laptop atm since my computer is on "reparing(?)" because a part of it is burned or something anyway I can't search by mail so I need your nick
and green45 I thought you quitted developing LaTale servers

No i didn't quit, well ok i kinda quit, MimirDev closed down, and now MimirDev is back up but only for Maplestory development with C# sources, So until that's done, i won't be doing any massive amounts of adding to any other sources

Good luck ;P

The farthest i've seen in Latale development was LaMyth (http://forum.ragezone.com/f520/dev-l...ce-old-479237/) but its ended due to the fact the team was not a team no more.

The screen shots were real; not edited.. for all those morons saying its fake.. well its not.
hopefully they'll be a completed source coming out :)

i wouldnt say farthest i did my source completely alone in 3 weeks and your source is very outdated and some of the client data has changed since then ive posted alot to help ppl get started...

Oh please, you claimed that the files magically got deleted, now you claim that they were finished due to the team splitting apart?

Makes no sense, i said it was in very good progress (walking, attacking, new maps, items and etc) and the files were lost CAUSING everybody in the team to split. Thanks,

We're going to hopefully be using Jonnys source and fixing errors together and getting a server out there for people to see how it's coming along,

how far updated will your server be when its done?(by updated i mean will it have bifrost,toad island,etc)or do we gotta wait and see o:?

Wish u guys the best of luck!!! :)

I got to Toad Island with a clean LaLore source but it didn't have a name back then so it works we are using the newest client.

The only errors right now with the 3 servers are packet errors * and some being commented out, also we need to figure out how to put the world server onto the localhost (or crack latales client and add this stuff in)

http://i305.photobucket.com/albums/n...velopment1.jpg

Eh, I wish I could help but since I can't I wish you guys the best of luck and it looks like it's going pretty good so far.
:thumbup:

Here's more progress on LaStar.

We're editing the Characterlist, there's problems with names that have less than 10 letters.

Here's what we got so far (tons of screenies)
Channel Server

I'll update with progress tomorrow @.@

Awesome progress ;) Keep goingg!

oh~ great^^ 　Good luck!

wow Great progress. This is gonna be so AWESOME when it is out.

I hope this server goes really far :): I will definitely be checking this thread for updates and hopefully i can get in on the beta tests whenever you plan on having them :D.

Meanwhile I'll be grinding on crabs in official lol, best of luck to you guys!

I see you're having fun with this.

It'd be nice to have my Gaia stuff back by the way.

There won't be open beta for quite some time <_< I'm not sure about closed beta though, well probably have that 3 times. D: Just gotta get the world server working XD

hey Amira! Good Job getting this far! :D if this is coded in C# i could help i know a few things and i would LOVE to help you get this working :D

This current source is coded in C++. Sorry XD

Awww :( well if theres anything u need help with i can see what i can do ;)

Haha, I'll apply for Closed Beta in "a while" then. xD

Sorry, been busy with school >_> 11th grade blows. Been having soo much homework @_@

11th? Wait till 12th. ^^ Better enjoy your homework now while it's still simple.

Just take things one at a time and do your best when you can, where you can.

Well today I finally got my computer back so I can help with the source

Well..that wasnt very nice, what else do you expect when you keep people's hopes up? do you know how many times developers have broking their hearts?im not asking for a flame but i actually just came here to check things i have no interest in your server thingy.
Besides all he/she said was "Development stopped? now?....um.." that doesn't give you any right to be rude, even if it IS your thread.:thumbdown:

Aw c'mon man, all OJMcolvin does is nothing but saying ragezone is lying about Latale private server progress.:closedeyes: He might be one of those sad people who create accounts on forums like this just to criticize and offend the members with no reason at all. Plus, he's making we fight between ourselves, so let's just ignore him and be patient. I believe amiria and jonny's progress with the server and I'll be waiting for it:thumbup:

Well, Im against people creating sources when they have other big responsibilities to do like school, Its the reason why I waited till I finished highschool to go pro on sources xD

Well.. You guys seem pretty disappointed. Not to advertise.. But my community is pretty supportive of me finishing this project.

http://forum.kryptodev.com/watchtowe...html#post14771

It's my own source in C#, I've been working on it SOLO And I'm already pretty decent ways off for a source built from scratch and only 1 person working on it.

So check it out, show some support :)

You must not understand who I'm posting too, see the quote? I wasn't talking to that kid, so. Mind your own business ^^

If a game "ruins their hearts" then they need to get out more.

The progress is pimpin.

Good luck && keep it up.

thnx.... slow but steady hopefully some better screens to come in a week or so......

Wow I can wait intill This come's Out :D

Sorry guys we've been uber busy. I do believe we have the World server up and running (means log in, I think move works as well. We will see when Jonny comes back).

ROFL!

Yes,it's true.
And it's not like LaTale is the best thing out there in the first place...I'm sure they could just suck it up and go play a better game like RO or something to pass the time...

anyone knows how the rates re going to be?
cuz i would like it be at least x300 exp

The rates won't even be that high, trust me o_O

Well have in-game screenshots asap.

Now that you're banned from Gaia, you should have plenty of time to work on your LaStar. :thumbup1:

then how the rates are going to be?

Organic, go flame somewhere else.

And it's going to be mid rate during alpha and low rate during beta.

We are having troubles with 2+ people connecting to the world server.

At the moment Jonny is working his ass off to figure it out, I was meaning to ask you but I lost your MSN @_@

nice rates ^^

I said the rates are subject to change. And alpha won't be for about a week or so. It's invite only and it's gonna be hamachi lol.

Heres some screenshots we took:
( http://forum.ragezone.com/members/ro...reenshots.html )

Yeah yeah looks like im new again...
I would like to help but that C++ or C# is weird I don't even know where to learn it (googles). I'd like to learn about this please reffer me to something :)

Good luck and

Well you've pretty much blocked me everywhere else. ;D

Jonny, if you check this thread often, or at all, I was wondering how you're planning on dealing with things such as quests. Lua possibly? :thumbup:

Hmmm, seems really interesting. too bad that it isn't out yet.
It would totally be awesome if a LaTale private server came out. (soon :P)
Good luck to you and Johnny.

Lol, I wish I could help, but I have no knowledge of C++ (Been trying to learn though XP)

pretty much lua or xml not really sure... Theres so much useless data server side that i havnt come up with a perfect plan to do so... Its slow work when you work alone... Hopefully some people are willing to help....

i've never played latale nor do i ever plan on playing it.. I just enjoy codeing.. and learning packets...

you really like coding huh? la tale is pretty fun you shud try it. How do you have fun doing that (even though i made a simple program with that C++ thingy its complicated:grr:)

For sure well have screen shots asap of our in-game progress. And soon alpha will be available to test.

---------- Post added at 08:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:42 PM ----------

a little question... can you give an aproximated time for when its finished?

Since alpha is invite only, I most likely wont get invited. But yeah any Estimated time to when it will be open. I can't wait to hear (possibly play) about it. The first LaTale private server, gonna be so popular just like Odin.

I had honestly all but given up on any chance of this happening soon. I knew eventually someone would stop claiming and actually make some progress though I am obviously still skeptical right up till I am playing it myself, but that isn't me trying to discourage you or accuse straight out just my school of thought always has been that way. Glad to hear about the relatively fast progress though. This stuff really interests me even though I have never looked into it programming is my chosen career path. Oh also can't wait for the beta to come out good luck in alpha testing when you get to it. Hopefully nothing major goes wrong and sets you back.

If I do get invited and test it out where will I report bugs, possible glitches, and ect.? and will there be a Database wipe after?:$:
I'd be glad to be a moderator for the server voluntarily...:thumbup1:

Wow , already in aplha? Nice, this is the furthest I've seen a Latale p-server good. Keep up the good work =P

Haha already? Ive been watching this topic since I got hacked in ogplanet and my beta LaTale -er was gone. So these awesome people are koolio enough to code this and im soo sleepy i dont know what im talking about now. But they're doing a pretty goood job on this I'd help in anyway possible:)

I have some spare time over weekends that I wouldn't mind doing repetitive jobs in Lua/XML, either work for me.

From what I've XML should work fine, but I've never played the game myself.

Yah it doesnt really matter to me... Attack,skills,mobs,quest drops,items drops,npcs, portals.item mall,npc dialog... all i can think of.....I really havnt fully looked into the LDT files to see whats useable and what is not...... I havnt played latale eirther i just go by what the packets say.... Have others feeding me information that i dont know like stats and npc data and mobs etc... plus this helped me alot too...

http://wiki.ggftw.com/latale/Main_Page

Be great when it comes out but I'd expect very heavy traffic and plan for it early because of the sheer level to upgrade jobs a lot of people are turned off playing a lot so a private server is going to draw them fast. Good luck with getting through the rest of the progress and lets hope nothing ugly pops up.

I mean yeah, it's been up for a while now, but after seeing lots of promising threads about peoples servers just die down, I started to think latale would never have a p-server. But now, this thread, it seems that this team is doing a good job, and the hopes of having a private server are coming back.
Also getting second job isn't that hard. People make it sound reallly hard. but I mean come on, after most latale-ers retired from maplestory, they should see how much easier this is than ms.

I'd like to see some screen shots to make it more interesting D:
And hopefully once you get it done, OGplanet wont get to you.

Tru dat hibari

like ive said can any of you (jonny or Amiria) tell us an aproximated date for the open beta release?

Hmm looks like a kind of hidden-street.net of MS but LaTale lol
but just adding something to this for johnny and amiria, How will you update your client? every thursday or every 2 thursdays they update their client. I think OGPlanet has the fastest updating.

When they update the clients. Much doesn't change, they only add more fashion shop items. So most likely well just have to redo the packets for that every time?

But we're working on screenshots of in-game. Jones doesn't get on during the weekends.
