Plagued Dead Engine
From VbGORE Visual Basic Online RPG Engine
The Plagued Dead game using vbGORE was abandoned due to Spodi starting up a new engine instead, so the code was released (initially as a donation perk, but now free to all) as it provides useful additions to vbGORE.
Contents |
New features
- Account system - support multiple characters per account, a globally shared bank, account server, etc - vital for those who want a pay-to-play game
- Chat channels - join and leave channels instead of one global channel
- More NPC chat options - you can add support for any event from talking to an NPC, such as change your class
- Pseudo-3d particle system - give particles a lot more life by adding a pseudo-Z axis and shadows in a very easy to use system
- New stat system - stats are increased by spending experience, not by getting a few stat points every time you level, removing emphasis from your level and putting more emphasis on strategy
- New skills - 12 highly original skills that all work in completely different manners that can push your opponent, hold them in place, decrease their stats, send you flying towards them or running past them all and shove them out of the way
- Brutal blood system - smash your enemies faces in and see the results splattered all over the place with a highly worked on blood particle system
- Quest log window - keep track of your quests with an easy to use interactive quest window instead of using the chat window
- Character motion blur - a character-based motion blur system that is used on a lot of the skills that adds a great effect to showing a character moving quickly over a fast distance by multiple instance rendering at a gradually decreasing alpha
- Client-side objects - object information stored on the client to greatly reduce bandwidth and allow you to easily display much more information on objects
- Detailed object descriptions - be able to access most all of the details of an object, which is great for the inventory window
- And much, much more!
