Title: the new armor
Post by: murzamune on April 16, 2006, 01:26:55 pm: i think i have read the news correct that there is a new armor on this version 014
* New items, new armor skins.
*Support for armors that require a different armor model (think spiky armor)

can any1 tell me where to get the new armor???

Also the software has been prepared for armor models that have a different 3D shape than the normal character models. Up until now when you put on armor your character model stays the same, it only gets a different 2D texture but with the support for different models it\'s possible to have armor that also looks different, with spikes or bulky plates.

As far as I know there is no actual new armor type implemented, still the same old leather armor but they are ready to put some more armor in the game now.

Post by: LigH on April 16, 2006, 09:03:20 pm: \"New armor\" probably means:

Some races, which did not yet have own armor before (like Diaboli / Ynnwn), now have some armor too (like Fenki and dwarfs).

Unfortunately, the Ylians are still one of the rather \"discriminated\" races...

If we added spiky armor, I would have said so. This just means the engine is capable of doing this, but not that we have the models or textures for it, yet.

Post by: Karyuu on April 17, 2006, 04:54:49 am: Just leather at the moment, and you can only buy, not craft or find it as a drop right now :)

I\'m not sure about shields now, were they ever fixed and made to work? Or are they still just big lumps of metal that you stick on your arms and they dont do anything?
Sorry about this I was curiouse...

Post by: Zan on April 17, 2006, 01:59:40 pm: I\'m pretty sure they\'re still just lumps of metal doing nothing besides being pretty .. or ugly.

I am pretty sure that they work finely ever since 013

Post by: Syilph on April 18, 2006, 03:40:18 pm: Shields are just nice ornaments atm, they offer no protection/defense. Zan is right, if they would work then you would be able to train them.

Post by: mateuszzz on April 21, 2006, 03:31:32 pm: And what about armors? Are they just unusable equipment or do their work already?

Post by: ThomPhoenix on April 21, 2006, 03:50:22 pm: Armor works, buy it, equip it, and train light armor.
