| 1100 | 3278 | 2000-03-03 13:02:28 | <em>Category:</em> Role Playing<br> <em>Description:</em> DROL (Dragon Realm Of Lore) is a RPG/adventure game server loosely based on Legend Of the Red Dragon, a highly popular BBS door game. DROL is being written in Perl. Users telnet into a server running the DROL daemon to play. <p> DROL will have very good support for plugins, and lots of work is going into the plugin system. <p> There will be an extensive battle system, message boards, real time chat, multiple classes and skills, and in the future many more features. <p> The game's core has no "area", ie, you don't walk north/south/east/west, but additional Plugins can be created that would support worlds like this. <p> If you would like to help out, please sign up for the drol-devel mailling list (you can find it at the web site) and get into the discussion. | DROL | new | |

Why that? Well, I hope that this will be the last version before we have networking (planned for 0.60)! It's considered beta for the following reasons: <ul> <li>The first public release to use SDL <li>Tons of new stuff (see changelog below), but not much tested </ul> This release is for linux only. I had trouble building the win32 version (all textures are wrong), and I think it's better to test this release with the linux crowd first (MUCH smaller audience). <p> So what's new: I use SDL now, which will bring fullscreen rendering to non-3dfx users too. Also, we can now play sound effects along with the music (you might want to turn them off though, since they are not completely done yet - this is a first try). Then the's lots of eye candy. And code changes. And ... well, these are the most important: <ul> <li> Arena size is now a variable (game->settins->grid_size or grid_size in gltron.ini) <li> cam chase speed scales with cycle speed now <li> fixed lightcycle going backwards (if you liked the old way better, that's an option now) <li> (optional) sound effects, SDL version only <li> fixed wall textures being upside down <li> used wall & floor texture from Nicolas Zimmermann <nicozim@libertysurf.fr> <li> fixed bug with crash texture turning then crashing during smooth turn <li> 4 different wall textures (Nicolas, Darrell) <li> added mipmapping with GLU box filter (Darrell) <li> added different speeds to Game Settings menu (boring, normal, fast, crazy) <li> fixed chase camera starting position <li> played with wall dimensions <li> experimental speed oszillation <li> very cool new model from Charles Babbage <li> levels-of-detail for the model <li> configure players (human, computer, none) <li> configure keyboard controls (not saved between games yet) </ul> Please have a go at it and mail me when there are problems. | glTron 0.59 | updated |
