a_bertrand Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Hi, miniNEaB 4.0 has been a long and difficult version to bring (due to all the files which has been changed basically). Version 4.0 will introduce the following features: - Completely skinned engine, which let you create very easily new skin and let the player choose with what look he want to play. - Completely replaced all HTML button with nice image buttons. A button template let you even change the look of the buttons if you want to. - Fixed a non specified number of bugs (big or small) - Add in game windows for the preferences, journal and spells. - Added on the map NPC (for all the NPC locations) - Added smart loading mechanism (now tiles will be cached in a much smarter way, and therefore maps should load faster for all your players). - The game URL is hidden behind a generic nbase.php which doesn't let those smart player see so easily what the URL is really. - Improved the map speed (about 4x faster if not more) - Added life on the map (butterflies, and birds) - Added smooth step mode. - Added ballons over player chat (on map chat) - Added animated avatars. - Improved default home page (with little gadgets on the right side) Upgraded our demo, so that everybody could check live what it will look like: http://www.nowhere-else.org/engine/demo/ (BTW the demo players admin and player will not let you battle). This new version is free for all miniNEAB game engine owners. None of those features will be back ported into the microNEAB nor into the free edition of the engine. As this is a big upgrade, we will certainly introduce some new bugs, therefore, before we release it, it would be good if a couple of you guys accept to beta test it. The only requisites are: you are a game engine owner, willing to test, and hopefully test not on a live system. Let me know either via this post, or via email.

BasTijs Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Re: miniNEaB version 4.0 Do you also see other players moving on the map? To get the feeling that its actually a multiplayer game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a_bertrand Posted March 29, 2009 Author Share Posted March 29, 2009 Re: miniNEaB version 4.0 Yes, not only you see other players on the map, but you can chat with them and even participate on the same battles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BasTijs Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Re: miniNEaB version 4.0 Would be good to have a movie with examples of all the features :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a_bertrand Posted March 29, 2009 Author Share Posted March 29, 2009 Re: miniNEaB version 4.0 Well, there is a demo of some older version of the code (yes I need to update) on the website. And I'm not sure making a very long video would be really nice, as the number of features is... huge. Not kidding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
