Hi,

I'm currently in the 3/4 of fixing the equipment code for Manaserv. So, a little question on how I should achieve this:

Currently, a script can be triggered when equipping/unequipping an item. The return state of that script has no effect on equipping,
but I could take it into account, just like if the script execution returns false, the equip action aborts.
The drawback I see to such a way is that the maintainer should have an extra care about not applying any effects before making sure all the prerequisites are reached in his/her equip script.
But apart from that, it seems viable to me.

What do you think?

Best regards,

Sounds like a great idea to me. When you are already on it, a similar feature for unequipping could also be added so that certain equipment can not be removed under certain conditions (like cursed items).

@Len: This tileset is awesome, however I would give you some personal ideas and comments to improve it.
1) I think the shadows of the trees still need imrpovement, they do look good but they are too grey, they overlap a bit everything, just take a tree and behind it, add a wall, you'll see what I'm talking about.
2) I think that the water/pond could be improved in many ways... maybe add some moving little waves or a floating bath duck (lol).
3) I think that the big cactus also needs a shadow.
4) Imho, all the tilesets lack fourniture, in overall. I would really like to see a tileset that includes your work, which is the water, the grass, the ground, the flowers, the skulls, the cactus, the trees, etc... on the same tileset, with a transparent backround so that we can test it on our local server.

Thanks a lot for that awesome job Len, keep it up.

Best regards,

@Crush:

(Sorry for crossing discussions, Len.)

It would have been my second question. Ok, I'll got that way.

1: I'll play around with it

2: Actually the set does have moving water (not sure if I would use it on a pond, its really more for rivers).

Still a could have small ripples appear every now and then like a small bug just fell into a still pond.

3: Its from TMW so its temporary

4: I didn't make the cacti I think Neoriceisgod or VxD did (I need to find out and make a tag). Wouldn't one set be a little much to work with?

Here's a combined set if you really need it

I've been attempting to create a building from old assets, but it looks like I'm going to need to stop dicking around and just make it from scratch (I've felt to so drained as of late).

Here's a cobblestone path (still needs some work) me messing around with some ideas

Imho, the only thing that really needs work is the wolf

more messing around with different path ideas

Did woa forum go down? I had some wip files there, I reinstalled windows without backing up those files, does that mean their lost?

Yes, sadly I also lost some work in progress files when the forum went down due to inactivity.
