Ideas

  • map : add maps similar to [1]
  • map : draw multis on compass (remember?)
  • map : remember moongates (find nearest)
  • map : remember vendors (system and player) and their prices ?
  • macro : TargetSelf DeselectMobile BandadgeSelf
  • macro : MacroCmd_TargetSelf MacroCmd_TargetLast (wait for target cursor and...)
  • macro : use lua coroutines ? easier "wait"
  • linux : static compile (aliverius) -> StaticCompileOnLinux StaticCompileOnLinux
  • Lua function to check the hardware supported Maximum_TextureSize maximum TextureSize
  • multitex-terrain : low-detail-terrain for far sight
  • protected calls for network packets
  • migrate to LUA 5.1, take a look here -> [2] Btbn (gentoo-linux)
  • Lua function to check RTT ogreRoot->getRenderSystem()->getCapabilities()->hasCapability(RSC_HWRENDER_TO_TEXTURE)
  • light sources on equipment in hand, animated with model (tagpoints)
  • nice highlighting effect for mouseover
  • STATICS:
    • animated Meshes dynamics/statics (skeleton):einfacher

und performanter wäre es, etwas einzubauen, um die animierten meshes nicht ins fastbatch zu stopfen (ghouly)

  • optimization of Static Textures (DXT-compression)
  • anderes material zuweisen als im model steht
  • skeleton unterstützung
  • particle effekte die an ein model gebunden sind


  • containers : move all of the same type into subcontainer (non-stacking things like potions, seeds...)
  • containers : small button to toggle individual containers between classig-mode(gump) and list/grid-mode
  • updater : conflict handling : ask on update : overwrite or manual resolution  ?
  • updater : conflict handling : display list of unresolved conflicts with file-paths
  • (ne feststelltaste das er solangeläuft bis man klickt oder so)
  • hotkeys (key profiles - + standard uo profile)
  • alternative möglichkeit der cam-rotation (da einige kein mausrad haben oder es anderweitig belegt ist)
    • vorschlag: camrot: left-shift * linker mausbutton, zoom: left-crtl * left mousebutton


    • option for changing background picture to whatever you

want, e.g. extra folder : without changing scriptfiles (we already have the "custom" folder where users can put in textures and materials, we just have to add the functionality)* maybe basic map editing features ?


  • gui : worldmap (not really neccessary as radar can be zoomed)
  • gui : scrollable areas (scrolltext + scrollbuttons)
  • gui : show course-marker on map (sea-faring)
  • music : midi support ?
  • Antialiasing (FSAA) option ingame possible ?
  • support for greater z resolution in map (8,16,32 bit...)
  • bumpmap/normalmap shader for walls
  • shaders for animals, especially horses and certain clothing
  • reflective textures for polished weapons and armor
  • different options for water, shader, cartoon blue,

transparent, realistic brownish, ocean and inland water different, river, sea, waterfall

  • precalculated lightmaps for terrain and statics ?
  • starshaped terrain polys (looks better)
  • optional diablo like item hilighting, little twinkle for small things
  • optional diablo like item hilighting, pressing alt shows clickable item names (nonoverlapping?)
  • particle systems on equipment in hand, animated with model (tagpoints)
  • statistics about tile type usage, flags, search function for specific tiles etc..
  • pathfinding for walking to clicked position (clientside)
  • maybe 3D paperdoll,inventory,clothes... (granny) ?
  • maybe use granny models for dropped items (weapons,clothes,...) ?
    • remember unexpected blocks from server
  • soft move back on block instead of teleport back
  • non tilebased movement for other chars using a bit of random and interpolation + prediction techniques
  • kPacket_Server_List 0xa8 server.ip UNUSED ??? (might not be needed when server sends redirect packet?)
  • make hotbars moveable, lookable, resizeable?
  • better makro interface
  • later : pixelexact mousepicking for "fallback" billboards
  • access triangles of renderop at runtime ?
  • mousepick on triangles : calculate hit dist and texture coords
  • convert texturecoords to pixelcoords and look up in art bitmask
  • add Caelum Skysystem and sky with blinking stars (enhance starfield from sfz, blink, little billboards.., shooting stars)
  • terrain : bumpmaps ?
  • terrain : for custom shard maps : heightmap override via image file ?
  • debugging/utility tools like fallback tool
  • search for specific static tiletype on map
  • list statics/dynamics/etc near mouse
  • viewer dialogs ingame (granny,statics,original art,gump : use RTT)
  • static combo detection
  • light/shadow map precalc for terrain & statics
  • uo-font loader
  • add support for writers (instead of loaders) in data.h : ingame editor ?
  • gimmik : fish in water
  • gimmik : birds in the air
  • gimmik : leaves on forest floor, or when windy
  • gimmik : water splash on shore
  • gimmik : footprints
  • gimmik : footstep sounds
  • usability ideas : [3]

Map and Compass

  • notoriety colored dots for mobiles
  • some dots for items (optional, toggle with button on side)
  • gray dots for corpses, remembered clientside, slowly fading, permanent on big map
  • thin trail where player walked, slowly fading out over time, should be visible for about 5 minutes
  • bigger map, with permanent trail and options for clientside nodes and markers
  • save little screenshots together with nodes for better orientation ?
  • special markers for locked doors, chests, switches/levers, teleporters, traders/special npcs, remembered clientside

Unicode 

Unicode support for Lua

Ogre Animation System

  • hardware accel (animation can be done by vertex shaders without involving the cpu), might need vertex shader material
  • blending multiple animations together (soft transition between walk and idle animation)
  • tagpoints (attaching weapons to hands : already used) : particle effects on some weapons ?
  • quadric interpolation of animation data (looks smoother than linear)
  • facial animation support using poses, e.g. for speech (maybe in the far far future)

Granny ( *.grn, *.gr2)






random quotes found around the net

  • The pen is mightier than the sword - IF it is sharpened,

dipped in poison and throw really hard at your target. But really, you are better off with a sword

  • There are only 3 enemies to the programmer: sunlight, fresh air and the unbearable roaring of those birds out there...
  • Thou shalt not follow the NULL pointer, for chaos and madness await thee at its end.
