Hello Everyone
« on: July 19, 2006, 08:45:07 am »
Wow, its been a long time since I have been on PS or its forums. I have been busy with school and other things. I see the forum has changed and is looking very nice. But I am looking for the source for this game. All the source, the client and server source if its avalible. I am also looking for a few friends who once new me as Evangan. I would like to meet up with them again if they still come here.

I am looking for alot of things, maybe some documentation on Planeshift. I have been around for awhile, and seen some of the planeshift source but thats all XML and I was wondering where is all the meat of the game? I just want to know how the game is made, what graphics library it uses and things. What language it was built on and stuff like that.

I have been curious about this stuff ever since i started planeshift some time ago. I also want to know if the server has had Many updates since they wiped and added the new DR. I would kind of like to play again but I think most of my time will be spent here in the forum because I am learning C/C++ , OPENGL, and DIRECTX. So I can create games like this one. I know my path is a long way but I am up for the challenge.

Anyone who knows me or has anything to say at all please feel free to inform me about the new changes.

Welcome back!

Updates? Heck yes :} We've just added a couple of new maps and redid the ol' wilderness map that existed between Hydlaa and Ojaveda. A new pet will be / is available, complete leather armor for every race but the Kran for now, etc. Take a look at some changelogs - most of them are on the main PS website, and others can be found in update threads within the forum. Stuff's been going on!

Someone else'll come in and answer questions about the source and development :} Moved to General Discussion - this isn't off-topic to PlaneShift.
Judge: Are you trying to show contempt for this court, Mr Smith?
Smith: No, My Lord. I am attempting to conceal it.

The language used for coding the game is C++

As for where you can find the "meat" of the game... I guess you meant with that the actual code?

Take a look here: http://planeshift.cvs.sourceforge.net/planeshift/planeshift/src/

You've got there the server code, the npcclient code, and the actual client code as well as other things, depending on what exactly you want to take a look at.
Are there any MoonSeekers left?

 \\o// YAY! Good to have you back Noobis! I miss rolepalying with you,  :P so expect to have me invading your /tells when you pop into game.

So much has changed since you have been absent. It isn't the same world you left that is for sure, and you might even need a tour guide. You be pleased to know there is a waterfall, and a camping area for Evangan to cook at. There is to much to list off in the forums but if I see you in game I will try and help you with your questions.... the planeshift team just released a new client so I am still learning alot myself.

Again Welcome back!  :flowers:
