Looks awesome.
Doesn't belong here though.

 

[fayl1861]

Where should I have posted this?

 

[Tyler]

Not too sure.
It could possibly go under advertisements, although its development.
It won't go under Server Help Extra, since you seem to be doing just fine.
And there isn't a Mario section.

 

[fayl1861]

Well I guess it will stay here until I/a mod finds a better place for it

 

[Tyler]

Yus.

Im Online now, its horribly slow.

 

[fayl1861]

Some people are experiencing issues with the web-based applet. Please use the stand-alone version.

 

[Tyler]

I am.
Even that is still very slow.
I've managed to reach as far as the character customization screen.
Can't enter a name. :/

 

[fayl1861]

The rendering engine is very inefficient right now, We are currently working on making it better and more "compatible". It currently re draws the entire screen as opposed to just re drawing the changed areas. It is an Alpha after all.

 

[Tyler]

Well you seem to know a sufficient amount of java.
I bid you goodluck with this project.

Seems this thread doesn't have any other sections.
Wait for vene to get online and decide.

I always hated RZ's section policy: mods randomly toss threads around when they don't know where it really belongs and then blame the thread creator for being stupid and not following the rules. The place requires (always has) a re-structuring and/or a section where any kind of (quality) topic goes.

I Agree.
But you can never know what random topics appear though. :/
At least a re-structure will near enough cover most of the topics.

This is awesome! Classic game! And now multi-player, that just owns.

Notes: Monsters can we walked though, no damage recieved, just a sprite. You can keep jumping by holding space, not single jumps (if you know what I mean) and perhaps you should be able to jump higher.
I'm sure you know some of this, but I'm just pointing out.

 

[Negata]

Yeah, so a section for posts that don't seem to belong anywhere would be nice, although there's nothing wrong with mods nicely moving posts where they should be. Just need to get rid of that childish rage whenever someone makes a mistake.

Sorry for hijacking the thread - I don't roam around complaining, the topic was interesting, and the game looks fun.

 

[Tyler]

Ahh, mindblaster, i'm jealous.
i've not managed to get onto the game.

@Negata; thats an awesome idea.
but this section should have sub sections so you don't have like a million tags before the actual title for the thread.

We are currently working on NPC functions, currently they are just there as scenery, because the server does not know how to handle NPCs yet.
