You have to download the EvoL client because I've changed little things in source code, like translating in french as you noticed. But there is also few modifications in order to add some functions like general chat (using the "announcement"), GM announcement in a textbox, limit in using objects (you have to wait 10 seconds until you can use an another potion...), solving the "bow cheat" (even if you walk, you can't shoot until you've wait 6 seconds)... By the way, as I'm not so skilled in C++ dev so it's a kind of "do-it-yourself"...Crush wrote:As far as i can tell the only changes at the EvoL binary are the strings that have been translated to french. I don't understand either why evol uses its own updater instead of just delivering all the content through the update system of tmw.
About the updater, I had some troubles with your updater in the 0.0.22 and haven't really understood how it works... So I've disabled it and picked up an another open source updater. The problem is that it requires .NET Frameworks but this program is really helpfull and I like the way it works... He just replace your updated files in your game directory.
Finaly, we aren't using the same tiles... We are using RMXP tiles because there is a lot more choice and it corresponds to what we want...
I've already thought about an english version of EvoL (client and quests) with 2 different servers : french and english. But first we have to "finish" our game and, more than all, waiting for the new TMWserv
