Re: [crossfire] skill/class cost table
True. There could also be modifications for other spells - maybe at some level, you get a 'split bolt' ability, so when cast, you get a triple wide bolt (split would suggest 2, but with the aligning of spaces, that would be a headache to know what other space it goes down). Such an ability may increase casting time and increase mana cost, but things like that could be done. Instead of 360° cones, maybe also have something that allows 180° cones instead of the current 90° cones. Yes, many abilities can be thought of. Also some could be given through a quest only, to make them more interesting. As an aside, I'm thinking of setting up an arch server branch for this (the maps really should not need changing on this). My main thought is that this is going to be a pretty radical change in how things work for players, and so servers probably need some time to adjust (and probably some time is needed just to balance this out before going live on servers). Now I could work to make it so that both skill systems are available in the same code base, and by tweaking config values, you get one or the other, but long term, this is a big enough change, there is no way both can be supported. And in many ways, cleaning up the code now makes sure the code gets cleaned up, vs putting it off to some point in the future. IMO, either make that server private, or ask Meflin and use his server. There are enough empty servers on the tracker right now, no need to add another one. Also, feel free to ask for help, of course :) Regards Nicolas -- Mon p'tit coin du web - http://nicolas.weeger.org signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part. ___ crossfire mailing list crossfire@metalforge.org http://mailman.metalforge.org/mailman/listinfo/crossfire

Also, feel free to ask for help, of course :) That is one reason I'm thinking of doing a different SVN branch - that makes it easier for others to work on and test this. But in this somewhat incomplete state, I really don't want to put this into the main branch, in case it takes a while to complete, and I don't want to break folks currently running the main branch while this works goes on. The only real downside of a branch is making sure that changes in the trunk make their way to the branch. ___ crossfire mailing list crossfire@metalforge.org http://mailman.metalforge.org/mailman/listinfo/crossfire
[crossfire] Autoreconf Warnings Bug
Hello everyone, I'm Steven. Hopefully if time permits I can keep helping out with this fun project. I created a bug report and uploaded a patch: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detailaid=3428070group_id=13833atid=113833 It deals with autoreconf warnings and is very low priority and the fix was just adding two brackets. The warning was: (running from root directory of client trunk on Ubuntu Linux 11.10) $ autoreconf ... macros/libcurl.m4:38: LIBCURL_CHECK_CONFIG is expanded from... configure.ac:416: the top level configure.ac:416: warning: AC_LANG_CONFTEST: no AC_LANG_SOURCE call detected in body ... ___ crossfire mailing list crossfire@metalforge.org http://mailman.metalforge.org/mailman/listinfo/crossfire
