BloodBane Online

I am going to be moving almost entirely to C++ for my game developments. I have learned and taught myself a good deal of C++, and am going to be using it for most projects. Blitz3D I will still use for experimental purposes, or if I need something tested quickly. Thanks for all the supporters on BloodBane Online, and hopefully it will come back to life.

I may make my own 3D Engine with DX9, or just go with Irrlicht/Ogre3D.

Sadly my external backup hard drive was accidentally reformatted (Don't ask.). So I no longer have BloodBane Online's Source Code.

Webserver moved to a new computer, but BloodBane site was not backed up properly, so forum was lost. Sorry! Still working on BloodBane though.

You will all be glad to know I am working on a new battle system for BloodBane Online. Nothing special though.


January 5 2008(Posted 2008-01-05)
Happy Belated New Years by the way!

Added: A basic inventory system.
Added: Saves character info in account database. XYZ Coords saved as well.

Need to fix it some though


December 16 2007(Posted 2007-12-16)
Added: Switched to FastText Engine to replace blitz's 'text' command, a lot faster!
Added/Fixed: Minor code improvements.
Removed: A house that caused FPS to drop by 30 when you looked at it!


December 12 2007(Posted 2007-12-13)
Added: New screenshot at forums of the new revamped snow zone!
Added: Minor code improvements.
Revamped: Did the snow zone all over with new houses!

Fixed: Think I got the bug where FPS drops rapidly fixed. Reason was I create a pivot to check character new/old position and it never freeentity the pivot after it was done, so every time it updated player, it made a new pivot, which ends up being alot of pivots. Thanks to Jsoren for drawing my attention to actually look into this.

Added: Delays in server code to make the server not suck up all my CPU power. Throwing a delay 10 in server's main loop does wonders. Does not make a difference in-game noticeably.

Added:New skyboxs! The old one was looking kind of choppy. New screenshot at forums.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Revisions:

Added: Login Security, Server checks client for a encrypted password and decrypts then checks with real password. If they do not match, player is disregarded.
Fixed:Security issues.

-------------------------

Things to do:

Alot. Including but not limited to -
NPC System ( Server-Side co-ordinate updates, AI, etc).
Improved Item System.
Equipment System
Improved Inventory System.
Better GUI.
Attack system
And of course, Player Versus Player!

I love PvP so expect that in there too, of course, there will be a couple "safe zones" like player starting citys. But if you are agaisnt PvP please post on Suggestions forum on website, and give me some ideas. But I do try to aim it around PvE to level, but then alot of PvP. Have a great Thanksgiving.
