Rating:</em> <font color=#ffff80 size="-1">(not yet rated)</font><p> <em>Description:</em> An online role-playing world<p> <em>Changelog:</em> It has been a long time since last release. We all have been quite busy with one way or another. The codebase has also been under extensive changes. The 0.4.0 release was meant to provide a solid base for further development and it should have the landscape, sky and the movement fully working so we could concentrate on more fun things in the future. This release is really a bare base without anything too fancy. The 0.4.x releases will then fix the bugs and improve the existing features, such as making a better landscape texturing engine, try to make a real forest with a crystal as a landmark on the middle of it and a chatting system the users could use for real. This release doesn't support vertex coloring in the landscape and thus it doesn't work too good for those without a 3D acceleration. It might be however fixed in the future. <ul> <li>New physical-based sky model (introduced in 0.3.1). <li>Rewritten landscape code, for increased performance. <li>Rewritten server code, now relying even more on Python. <li>Some internal code clean up and a lot of bug fixing. <li>1st person mode (introduced in 0.3.1). <li>New movement code, for less bandwidth usage. <li>New smoother camera. <li>The landscape's texture is now dynamically generated by the code, resulting in a more realistic texturing that takes the landscape's shape in account. <li>Some fir trees are now scattered around. <li>A new player object with a face. </ul> | Majik 3D Client 0.4.0 | updated | |
