----------------------------------------------- Majik3d Weekly Update for January 19 - 25, 2000 ----------------------------------------------- Date - Wed Jan 26 17:33:09 PST 2000 Issue - 0.0.6 Contents 1. New Screenshot 2. Telnet Game On Server 3. Convention Pictures 4. New Stuff From Brethel 5. Eleril Posts Techniques 6. Animal Descs and Their Stats 7. Stats System Request 8. 0.4 Release Rumors ----------------- 1. New Screenshot ----------------- This is actually old news Namhas posted this screenshot on the 17th. Let me tell you its amazing. The new screenshot is taken in a winter environment and definitely gets my juices flowing. The screenshot can be found here: https://majik3d-legacy.org/screenshots.html ------------------------ 2. Telnet Game On Server ------------------------ Namhas has put up an old RPGD game up on the server. You can reach it here: telnet://majik.majik3d.org:7000 But you should read the announcement on the news web page for info about it first. I think Windoze users require a client to run it. The announcement can be found here: https://majik3d-legacy.org/news.html ---------------------- 3. Convention Pictures ---------------------- Pictures of the last two conventions have been posted. In my opinion I haven't seen such a lowly group of human slobs in my entire life. Needless to say I am jealous that I couldn't be there :). The pictures can be found here: https://majik3d-legacy.org/conventions.html ------------------------- 4. New Stuff From Brethel ------------------------- Brethel has posted his long awaited desc of the northern kingdom of Thalamon. Sadly most of it is written in Finnish. If any one wants to translate please do so. I really want to read this. His announcement for posting the desc can be found here: https://majik3d-legacy.org/mailinglist/majik-design/0070.html The actual desc can be found in Brethel's ftp directory here: ftp://ftp.majik3d.org/open/brethel/ -------------------------- 5. Eleril Posts Techniques -------------------------- Eleril has expanded his texture and model list to include "Techniques to help in polygon reduction while maintaining visual quality." He wants people to add techniques of your own as well as textures and models. The post can be found here: https://majik3d-legacy.org/mailinglist/majik-design/0072.html On a side note Eleril has made a sage desc for his character Eleril. He wants peoples opinions on it and it can be found here: https://majik3d-legacy.org/mailinglist/majik-design/0064.html ------------------------------- 6. Animal Descs and Their Stats ------------------------------- My evil nemesis Mirithil has posted some ideas about animal descs and their statistics. Regrettably they are pretty good ideas, in fact they are great ones. Anyway check out what he has to say about it here: https://majik3d-legacy.org/mailinglist/majik-design/0076.html He hopes to post some descs to his ftp within the next week so check out his directory periodically. It can be found here: ftp://ftp.majik3d.org/open/mirithil/ ---------------------- 7. Stat System Request ---------------------- In Mirithil's post about animal stats he requested info about Majik's stat system. Yorkaturr responded with a treasure chest of information found in this post here: https://majik3d-legacy.org/mailinglist/majik-design/0078.html In Yorkaturr's response he asks someone to make our incoherent scattered stat system into one nice concise document for the world book. If anyone is so inclined please feel free to do so, but please post your intentions to the design mail thread. --------------------- 8. 0.4 Release Rumors --------------------- Well this comes straight from the mouth, or should I say fingers, of Namhas "The client has now a new camera system and new movement system and the new version should be out soonish." All I have to say about that is "yummy!". Until next week, Hook (Joshua Corning) hook@majik3d.org
