My advices and questions (for developers only)

[Talesman]

Hello. I'm from Ukraine, and have tried your demo version of the game already. I cant buy the full beta version, becouse in our country 15 dollars that's my scholarship per month. That's rather big money for me and I'll better crack the game. But after demo I can give you few advises and ask few questions.
Advises:
1 - Please, make riding army more skillfull, or more powerfull, becouse footmen kick there asses even if they (footmen) have lover level.
2 - I think it'll be good to make the damage to the main hero little bigger than on normal level.

Questions:
1 - The full game is consist of *.txt files. I'have changed everything I wanted in the game - the price, the amount and position of all armies, add some new tables, benches and other things in tavernas. Now I try to add, or find some necromancers, undeads and incvisition to my demo, becouse the only thing I didn't found - thats a serial key. Why you use this construction of the game? Or it's only for beta version?
2 - As I'm studiing at the university and know programming a little, so i think, that you program don't use dynamic memory. Maybe I'm wrong, but if I'm not, why?

That's all. I'll continue to reach the 6-th level for one week more and than write some other things I'll find. I hope, you'll finish your work guys, becouse I'm waiting for the disk with the game in the nearest shop. The game is really COOL. Till the next time.

What would give you the idea that they are not using dynamic memory? They are loading models in, they would have to use dynamic memory for that.

 

[Talesman]

I'll say in such way. I have one program, and when I tried to look after dynamic changes in the memory durin the game a didn't find any. If thats the kind of protection so that's even better than in "Evil islands".

Why say something like that on the developers forum? That gives them great incentive to answer your questions knowing your gonna try to break into their code.

And yet:

I hope, you'll finish your work guys, becouse I'm waiting for the disk with the game in the nearest shop.

Why not do that instead of the above?

Advises:

Because he doens't have much money for now, as stated above in my quotes of Tales' man.

However, I still would like to warn you, Tales man, to NEVER post "I'll crack the game' because it will only upset them and would give you less chance to get helpful or useful reponses to you from these developer. But still, maybe you could do something that would be very helpful to this community, by doing some of coding or even making mods and you'll have alot of chance to get along with us. If you are very helpful to us in future than we thought, then there are a chance that some of us might would buy series for you for helping us with coding and modding?

Hey, man. Do you know, what the price of the legal disk with game in our contry??? The max price is 5$. The lowest is 2$. Do you know the average earring in our contry in some regions, not in Kiev. It's between 30 and 100 dollars. 50% of this is to be payed for living . I don't want to break the game. I liked it and when see on the shelves - I'll buy it. I'm sorry for everithing I did wrong, but for the last 3 years I didn't see such interesting project (after Morrovind: The Elder Scrolls).
And I'm studiing at the university, as I've said already, and hope to become a game developer too, if I'll be so lucky. And I just want to know somethings about gamedeveloping. And I ask gamedevelopers to make a forum for such questions as "How did you do ...?"

 

[Pavlov]

Better, still, don't do anything shady to the game.

I will not crack this game in future, but may I ask a permision to write about some changes I'll make in the files of the game, to make the gaming process more interesting and, perhaps, to solve some bugs?

Perfect, if you were able to find bugs or even make an interesting mod for us, then it will be very helpful to this community. Maybe you can help me with my new cataphract horse mod I recently made by adding it as a new horse to game, thus tweaking their stats to have their own unqiue abilities compared to warhorse and charger?

I'm extremely doubtful about being able to legally purchase a new game for the equivelent of 5$. Also, as far as I know the game is never going to be sold in stores, but I may be wrong.

It's going to be sold, but not in stores. From what I understand the current system will be employed with the full version as well.

 

[okiN]

Argh, you're right, some misuse of terminology there. But that's what I meant.

 

[nahirean]

Considering most of us spent money to register this game, I maintain you guys are being entirely too kind to a guy who just said "I am going to crack the game."

And if footmen beat you on a horse, it's not the game's dynamics, it's the fact that you suck.

So we should verbally insult him and his family until all hell breaks loose and we make the community look like a bunch of forum nazis?

Its a thought.

Yes, gamedev.net IS the best I've seen too. Oddly enough, thats where I heard of this project. Go figure,...

 

[Talesman]

I'd like to ask the designers of the game, or those who can answer this question: Can I add a new textures to the game, and how can I do this?
I don't want to change the old ones, I just want to add new.

 

[Lost-Lamb]

n00854180t is the guy to ask about that, hes figured it out atleast partly

Look in the mod forum, there are some posts there that will help you with this.
