MatchMaker v0.4g - Released, Improving the multiplayer Опции

Download MatchMaker v0.4g

Hello everyone,

I just want to let you know that new version of the MatchMaker2 was released and is available for download. More information and download link can be found in this topic: http://arcanum.game-alive.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=309

Here some short gameplay video: http://youtu.be/p_jJqyIzcUA

Please note that right now it's sort of proof of concept, the attached script only shows how to use buildin functions and how to script some stuff in Lua. It's not a final version, but you can already change and add lot's of stuff into the game with it.

If there is anyone who would like to help a bit with this project, especially someone who knows RE, then let me know. We need to bind as much of the game to the Lua environment as possible. (If you only know offsets of some useful functions in the executable, then it would help as well.)

Have a great day.

Edit: Some new screenshots:

Big news! With new version, it's possible to save the game in multiplayer! You can now save and load/restore the game from Lua without no problem. I'll release the new version withing a few days. It will be also possible to move objects, teleport and resurrect.

Oh that's real cool!

Okay, apparently the new version of MatchMaker doesn't work with patched GrandFix v1.3 version. Can someone confirm this?

Because I have tried it with both GOG.com version + GFv1.3 and original english v1.0.7.4 and everything works without any problems.

Thanks!

Oh, hey! Long time no see. How are you? Still working on A:R? I've seen you new fancy website, looks good but is still quite unfinished. Is it still work in progress?

Still working, still slow
New site is more of social network, and yes, it's unfinished.

P.S.: Have you seen Avadon: The Black Fortress for Android, btw? It's pretty doable, what i aim to achive.

Excellent job indeed!)

Thank you for your support

Btw, the new version is out:

Changelog - Version 0.4f:
-Game now uses high-resolution counters instead of timeGetTime function. Animations and scrolling should be a bit smoother. (It is, IMHO)
-Increased size of sector cache from 16 to 128 sectors. This dramatically increases loading speed and transition between game levels and maps, and when moving though vast areas. You'll notice it, believe me.
-Players are now properly disconnected when they forcefully leave the game (i.e. because ALT + F4, task kill via manager, game crash, etc.)
-It's now possible to save and load the game (with a few gotchas).
-Also you can move with the camera from Lua. Should be useful.
-It's now possible to change global vars and flags and story state from Lua.
-It's possible to scale any objects. Works both on client and server side synchronously.
-New commands: gload, gsave, gget, gset
-Added a *few* new functions:
    mmGetObjectName, mmGetObjectScaling, mmSetObjectScaling, mmCritterSetStatValue, mmCritterGetSkillValue, mmCritterSetSkillValue, mmCritterGetSkillTraining, mmCritterSetSkillTraining,  mmCritterCalculateSkillChance,
    mmCritterLookForObject, mmCritterRest, mmCritterDamageFatigue, mmCritterIsConcealed, mmCritterSetConceal, mmGetCritterMaxFatigue, mmSetCritterFatigue, mmSetCritterHealth, mmCritterBuySpell, mmCritterAddTechDiscipline, mmCritterAdjustReaction,
    mmCritterWalkToLocation, mmCritterRunToLocation, mmNPCProcessAI, mmMoveObject, mmGetGlobal, mmSetGlobal, mmSaveGame, mmLoadGame, mmGetMouseLocation. mmGetCameraLocation, mmSetCameraLocation, mmMoveCamera,

Матчмэйкер пока что не работает (арканум вылетает после выбора пункта меню "интернет"). Это связано с тем, что лег сервер с матчмастером. Будем ждать, пока Криптон не поднимет сервер.
