    Release

    Since our failures of meeting release dates several times in the past, I won't give a date until I am positive I can meet it. The only thing I'll say is, I hope to have it out before 2013.

    Converting Scripts to Lua

    I've mentioned before that I will be converting all scripts from OdysseyScript (which is similar to VBScript) to Lua several times. I wanted to show what this meant. Lua is a very easy to use language, though it does take some time getting used to. For most scripts, it will do a 1:1 conversion...

    Priority List - July 03, 2012

    Ok, I'm making zero progress so I'm going to make some changes to the priority list. Right now, player account conversion has been at the top of my list, this is now moving to the very bottom and most likely pushed to next release (v14 see below). There is so much logic that I need to account...

    March 14 2012 - I Hate Myself

    Average Joe 11 hour work day!? Holy crap. I only work 8 hours not counting my lunch. Last time I worked more than that was Black Friday when I worked retail. But, now you know how I feel most of the time, I just want to get home and relax after a long day. I live my life in a debugger at work...

    Programming Advice

    In theory, this is true. I've known several people who left school with only Java knowledge who later were forced to learn C# but didn't have too many troubles. The only thing they had to get used to was the IDE and the new library calls. The syntax is identical so there's no issue on that. If...

    March 14 2012 - I Hate Myself

    OK, I finally put most of my thoughts on Java in words here: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=596&p=3091#p3091 If you like Java, I say stick with it. The only reason I would say to switch is to become a more rounded programmer. Build-A-PC text. I copied and pasted this from a draft: Map editors suck. I...

    Programming Advice

    Personally, I love C#. It is not as powerful as C++ being a managed language, but is still very powerful. The great thing about C# for most programmers out of school is it's similarity to Java. They have a very similar syntax and it is usually not hard for anyone familiar with Java or...

    Private Connector

    I should probably mention, this was created in about 2 hours. I didn't do a ton of testing, just ensured that it opened Odyssey correctly on my machine. Please let me know if it fails or you have to make a change in the source simply to get it to work. I'll update it as quickly as possible if...

    Private Connector

    http://odyssey.burningstormstudios.com/download.php?f=5 I have released the Private Connector for Odyssey with included source code. It requires .Net 2.0. The solution was made in Visual Studio 2010 in C#. However, since it is a 2.0 project, you can use any version of Visual Studio from at...

    Development Update - 05/16/2012

    I think I have worked through all issues with converting a server's players. Since we are using master accounts instead of local accounts with the new version of Odyssey, there were some issues I saw with the players. I'll talk a little about them below. Base use case scenario: A server owner...

    Just something I was working on.

    Cool! I love seeing old screenshots of Odyssey. I lost all of mine in a HDD crash several years ago, so I really love seeing this stuff. If I can find time, I'll create world images of the servers I worked on which luckily I do have. Only picture I do have right now is one of Zemeckis and I...

    Anyone have any spell scripts like fireball?

    *takes notes* add projectiles. In all seriousness, I believe projectiles are even possible with scripting believe it or not. It wouldn't be easy, but I believe it is feasible since you can create tile effects quite easily. You would simply draw the arrow (sprite would need to be in effects.rsc)...

    Development Update - 05/16/2012

    I've started typing this up about 8 different times and each time, either didn't finish it or started rambling. So I'm going to start over and keep it short and sweet. I've got about 10 days to decide the direction I want to go with Odyssey. I've been working on an ASP version of the website...

    Just wanting to say, I have seen this post and will respond to you, I started a draft that I never finished, hopefully I can remember to do so when I get home, but I will respond. Have faith!

    Runtime Error -2005532109 (88760233)

    Geez, sorry for late response, again, I've never seen this post before. Message me directly if you are still having problems and we'll see if we can figure out what's causing it. My IM's are to the right of this post, or you can e-mail/PM me from the same area.

    dropper.gen trojan

    Seriously, so many posts I've never seen before suddenly new for me. Yes, you are right, that is the absolute worse place to put it and that will be resolved with the new version. And also, viewtopic.php?f=37&t=591#p3072 as long as someone can help remind me to do it. My memory sucks and I'll...

    private connecter??

    See here, same story: viewtopic.php?f=37&t=591#p3072 I do have the old parsec files, in fact several iterations of them for some reason. If I can find the one Lic released publicly, I'll reupload here. Otherwise, I probably shouldn't since I don't know how I got them and I believe they still...

    I'm Grimmy and I make things.

    What the heck, this was posted several months ago but I'm seeing it for the first time now. What's up grimmy, hit me up on AIM if you are still around. My SN is the same as it's always been (bigredpk) and I'd love to catch up/see how you can help out.

    Thanks

    I'll make one for you and even post source for it if you can remind me to do so. My memory sucks, and unless I'm reminded, I'll probably forget. In fact, I think I'll remake the private connector while I'm at it since the current method is very obscure. Just PM me, click the e-mail button, or...

    March 14 2012 - I Hate Myself

    Yea, haven't decided yet, but I like it's look and functionality. I added a plugin which gave the portal, but I believe you can also have static pages, though I haven't looked into it too much. I've actually not looked into drupal much, mainly cause I don't like the forum software. All I know...
