look exactly same as the mir2 maps that been around for years and years dude lol

but now theres no need to rebuild a whole mir3 map from scratch. and besides, if its running in a higher res theres none of this crappy converting and getting a poor image.

that is true


D'oh Really?

I hadn't played many servers didn't know people had Mir 3 maps... Ahh well what a shame :(
came out abit wrong

what i meant was, the ice temple maps have been around for years... a lot of the old mir3 maps were made into mir2... but least ull be able to get all the new 1s, infact ull be able to have any u want, so it is actually really cool

the 2nd map looks nice :tongue_smilie: might get matt/cheeky to get mir3 maps to work on 4heros, they are quite cool

Sorry, Nothing to update yet, Just finalizing the source layout... after that everything will be much easier to work with.

Agreed, this has been more or less the only server I've ever been exited about playing, plus the new spells, maps, etc, it'll be fresh... just what people need after 8 years of Mir 2!

Agreed. Diablo 2 expansion had a higher resolution option and it completly changed how much better the game looked. Thats one of the biggest reasons im excited + the fact of how hes combined mir 2 + 3 :D. Looks like ben is going to try and beat him to it :)

Mir 3 Maps were slightly annoying, but fun :p

To get Mir 3 Maps working:

Program the client to read the two different map formats
Program the client to display the two different image depth and formats
Program the Server to read the two different map formats
program the Server to send the client which Map is Mir2 and Mir3

Reading the maps wasn't too much of a problem it was the Image/Drawing side of it.

Ultimately I don't think the Delphi Based sources support the different image depths.


PS. I would be progressing a lot faster if I didn't spam the forums/Youtube every 5 minutes.

Not sure if its been mentioned, but Mir Revenge has there test server in high res atm.

This means Tao's and Wizz can hit people from miles away, warr's will get raped, aswell as being able to clear out a KR piss easy.

will you release the source?

As mentioned during the thread several times, When I have finished creating the Sources, I will be making a server with these files, either a Live or a Test server, that will be decided later, After and Only after I have finished with the server I will release the source... Why not before? I don't want the security risk that other servers with open source suffer from .

I wouldn't worry about the balance issue, I think it'll be sorted, I mean giving Wizards more range but less survivability might even make the balance that a lot if not every server seems to have a problem with.

Randomly Off Topic:

Working with a single monitor has become tedious.

New Monitor should arrive tomorrow... (Going for Dual setup)... Should help :).

Edit, These smilies suck, Shoot the person who made them.

Dual Monitor is so I can see both my rough code and program a final version of the code with a full screen

Currently My screen is this:

And it is way to cramped (If you could see it fully xD)
