Progress this week

Thankyou to everyone who has logged in and had a look around,
After today I won't have internet for a few days. Hopefully not too long.

Here is some of the progress I have made this week.

Portals between zones:
So we can go between maps. I got all the way to fujin town from guan town :).
But seem to be missing a few maps? Does TS1 use duplicate maps?.

What are the special maps which you cant access unless certian things are in place eg war/invasion/date/time or level and faction requirements. This needs to be coded in manually it seems.


GMCommands:
spawning items
spawning monsters
portalgo
portalinfo
online
added things to set
tp works with xyz or xz to teleport you
goto semi works going to other players on another map however can have problems.

More to come:

Inventory, NPC Shop, Skills, Duel and translation are going to being worked on sometime soon.
Will try to send out email invites again when im at my new place and all setup again.

TSX Oct 25th PServer CB Launch

Hello Everybody,

(Click) Please download the game client mega.co.nz

(Click) Download our Private Server's client files here mega.co.nz

(Click) If you would like the game in english you can download and apply the files from here
Just extract into data directory which is in game directory after extracting our launcher there.

I'm using Google Chrome and mega.co.nz is working fine on that.

Work will be done in the future to build the english changes into the private server client.
It will possibly use several CSV files. And have the images in our data directory.

Please note that if you use the English files the game may have unexpected data.

The server is of course not currently in a playable state.

We need to test the code we have done so far and see how it handles with a larger amount of users.

This is because we don't want to continue development with something that won't handle what we need so we must test. We will still be developing for a while so you can't expect 100% uptime or features to be there without it being buggy. The current state of server does not represent what it will be when we are done fully :)

Had a few setbacks this week,

I will be posting up links to bugtracker and forums later when I get those setup.
From which you will be able to post bugs you find or feature requests. As well as comment/vote on which will get implemented in order of prority/importance to the servers progress.
So whilst things are not completed to a playable state those who are in cb will be able to be the first to see and test the features as we add them.

Those who are particulay helpfull to our progress during this phase of development will most likely be rewarded in thanks for their help, when we launch the finished server to be played.

You are currently able to make a character on each clan and use some basic GM Commands.
You will start with 20,000 Silver. Why not gamble using the Dice Game to try to increase it :).

We would like to take a small video and some screen shots of everyone on at once so we will have to organize a good time to do this.

Accounts
We will be sending out emails soon inviting those chosen to test.

Other than those lucky few there are ten user accounts that can be used the username and password is Guest# where # is a number 1 to 10.

Notes:
Currently I am hosting the server at home on my development machine.
I am moving house on the 2nd Nov.
So there will be some down time around then, I won't have internet again till 4th or later.

Installation:
Graphical Guide here

Once you have downloaded and installed the game client and downloaded our launcher
You should unzip our launcher files into the directory you installed the game into.
Then simply execute the RunTSX.bat file. (Note you may have to run this as administrator although it should be able to check that and tell you or ask for admin)

If you did not install the client above, then make sure you run the Launcher.exe to patch.
Presentversion.dat must have 107 inside it so patch to that.


It will ask you for login details and a resolution & screen options to play game in.
If you just press enter through all this it will log you in on a guest account if possible.
With 1024x768 window mode res.

Using custom resolutions may lead to funky position of GUI and even not being able to click buttons in gui.


If installing translation files
In Short copy these
D01_GIMAGE2D
D07_GWORLD
into C:\ALT1Games\TwelveSky1\G03_GDATA\
And put
G01_GFONT
into C:\ALT1Games\TwelveSky1\


If you get can't inject dll message try installing the VS2008 Runtime
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29
And run as administrator.

Thankyou to those of you who have expressed interest in the private server.
We have had a several people asking to donate, we don't feel the servers at a point where we should accept such things. However we will setup a paypal for it in a month or two.
