TechTalk - Skill system

Fellow Illarionites,
with the last TechTalk on "death consequences" being quite a success, I'd like to adress a new topic that might be much more important:

The upcoming skill system

The chat on this topic will take place on 10/26/2011 at 17:00 GMT in the #illarion IRC channel.

http://illarion.org/community/us_chat.php

Please note that this chat is not information session but an opportunity to get involved in the development of Illarion. You should have a basic understanding of Lua code and control circuits in order to be able to contribute to the discussion.

VBU chat

Fellow Illarionites,
a chat will be hosted on tuesday, 09/27/2011 at 20:00 GMT to discuss about non technical aspects of the "very big update", its conduct, contributions, wishes and possible obstacles.

Concrete content of the VBU is not to be adressed but general aspects ("How can I contribute?", "We need more XYZ before the release.", "What are the main goals?").

The chat will be moderated by the community managers as mediator between community and staff.

The chat will be hosted in the #illarion IRC chat on quakenet.

See ya!

OpenSource TechTalk: Death consequences

Fellow Illarionites,
as most of you know, the Illarion client and the Illarion server code were published as OpenSource. This means everyone is free to take a look at the code and use it for other purposes.

This also grants us the opportunity to discuss directly about certain aspects of the game with the code being available for everyone.

Today (09/25/2011, 18:00 GMT), there'll be a public chat on the topic "Death consequences" in the IRC channel #illarion on Quakenet.

http://illarion.org/community/us_chat.php

The functions "ReduceSkills" in Character.cpp and "PlayerDeath" in Player.cpp will be discussed, see:

https://github.com/vilarion/Illarion-Server

Knowledge of the programming language is not mandatory if you want to improve the game.

Test your own easyNPCs

There are two news concerning development:

First of all, we have compiled a central list where you can see what fields of development there are, what is roughly done there and who the contact persons are. You can find this list as sticky posting on all of our forums.

Secondly, there is an additional feature which really helps you to develop NPCs using the easyNPC language: We enabled a public testserver-account for everyone to be able to easily and immediately test your NPC scripts on the real, actual VBU testserver using the real, actual VBU testclient! This can be done by everyone. For more information, have a look at this site:
