icesus

Area maps could be possible to make, but it would be against "share information" rule ... so ... :wink: I'm adding some kind of registration/login function actually. My hope is to create interractive content. I was thinking of a trade area where each player could announce their sales or wa...

As the complete map seems to work quite well, i strated working on new features. I just updated the "areas" option so it will now work with the same database as the map. You can access the "whole" site at: http://icesus.gotdns.org Actually there are 2 features working: - The whol...

Hmm perl was finally easier than what i was thinking. I'm now generating cached map with a perl script (quite faster, can be run as cron, ...). At the same time i managed to get rid of the blank spaces when they aren't needed (ie: end of lines). Feel free to post any comment (positive or negative, a...

You are right, casted "haste" on my head and tried to do the job too fast :D Some characters weren't well coloured ( P,*,_,...), i made sime changes to correct those mistakes and also added some more colours to be as close as possible from ingame map. Made Volvano in white as i was propose...

Thanks to Belannaer i put the real map into my database. Now you can see the result here:

http://icesus.gotdns.org/showworldmap.php (new URL)

Yes it has become a little bit heavier (+20% approximatively), but that's because now the whole map is shown.

Hmm ... heh ... you were right ... but for IE the problem was simply a missing "preformated" tag ... where Firefox see breaklines, IE see nothing ;) I also update the code to use the same system as Haeggar using Bolt tags reformated and subclass to determine font color. Also made it works ...

Being quite amazed with that work, i tried to do something myself (mostly for "fun"). So it started with a plain text file (copy/paste from haeggar's html file output) ... made a script to parse it and to put it room by room in my db, and then made a script to display it again. So actually...

Something i recently noticed is that 'ordered' stuff are often more expensive than 'glowies' ... if you try to get a fine steel full plate cuirass, you'd better try to afford some raptor breasplate + bracers .. they'll be far cheaper than the ordered cuirass. Setting lower limit for prices could be ...

I wonder if it would be of any use ... If a mob has some resistance against one of the damage type, you'd better use the normal damage type against which he hasn't any resistance. If he has no resistance, any damage type would be good. Another thing would be that you shouldn't be able to use opposit...

Everybody who has at least 1% strike can learn it by doing

... The mark could also block their regen if they were in a safe room.

It could also prevent them to enter The Inn inside Vaerlon, so they couldn't leave game to avoid defenders wrath.

Another thing that could perhaps be somewhat new ... I was thinking about mages working togheter on thesame spell to boost its power. I see it like: While partying, one mage start casting (cast xxx of yyy whith party/playername), if another mage has some knowledge about that spell and damage type, h...

I think there could be some 'quality' added to fireplace, like for camps. A good campfire shouldn't extinguish as fast as a bad one (could be considered as wood selection, and location). On the other hand, a well made campfire could help you regen faster ... bringing more warmth, ... This could be t...

I'd say water priests (when they'll appear) could have some power over water. (A bit like Water templar who can learn swimming from subguild, but not air templars)
Air priest can "manipulate" some air elements (bladed wind, biting wind, call lightning ... ).

That would have some side effects for concerned players
like:
- More chance to increase stats without training them
- No need of other players for those subs jobs

I'm not sure this would be a good thing for Icesus balance.
