Anyone interested in client development?

If you are good at designing high resolution textures, give it a try. This was actually one of my eventual ideas.

Search for textures in the .s3d archive but if high resolution textures exist in an external directory, use them instead.

I am interested to know exactly what you mean.

Hey PixelEngineer, what I mean is exactly what you said, all high-res textures that make it seem more graphical when in reality we aren't changing the graphics themselves.

Go ahead and PM me. I have a few ideas you might be able to help with.

That's pretty badass man. I give you props for all of that hard work.

Thank you! The real hardcore development is going to start as soon as I get everything stable. The original EverQuest developers made some very odd design choices and I have struggled to both understand and implement some of the more challenging ones. Every day I get closer to a much more solid code base and then the real fun development can begin.


Cheers!

This rocks, I have wanted this type of thing for years. But I never had the code know how to even grasp a start. Glad to see this taking off and having community backing.

Don't sell yourself short. I see you have written some programs in C#. Syntactically, it is not that different from C++. When I started writing the client, I couldn't write it either but i slowly learned and have learned an enormous amount. The link to the source is on the last page so take a look if you're interested.

Cheers!
