Master of Magic - Implode's Multiplayer Edition

Just saw this in the store today actually http://www.elementalgame.com/.

So there's been a bunch of patches, has anyone tried it? Given its by Stardock who as far as I know, own the rights to MoM, is it at all MoM-like? Or should I just stay clear of it... :)

5) Pick through the common (to both client+server) code and unit tests from my old attempted Java port to see what of it is still useful Done! It took me a lot longer than I thought, because there was a lot more code there in the old Java port than I thought. On the downside that means it took me l...

Can someone help me verify this. The strategy guide page 196 states the city growth formula to be: Base Growth Rate = (Max Size - Current Size + 1) / 2 (rounding up) Actual Growth Rate = (Base Growth Rate * 10) + applicable mods from granary, farmer's market and race Now, they also state an example ...

Its going very well! My plan is along the lines of: ** (done) 1) Write comms layer based on XML messages and JAXB (done) 2) Update all the XSD files that define the structure of the server file and the portion of it that gets sent to the client, so all the object definitions reference and inherit fr...

Hi all and thanks to everyone for your continued interest coming back here from the fact that there are still new posts :) I'm also glad I disabled new registrations so the place wasn't completely overrun with spam posts. Its been a while since I checked back here and I'm sorry for that. Going back ...

Have plugged in Akismet, see how it goes ^^ if no problems with legit posts, I'll re-enable registrations and see how much junk we still get.

Thanks very much Tino for the files for this ^^

Updated to phpbb 3.0.6, so post here if you have any problems with the board. Haven't applied the spam filter yet, and away for a week now so will do it when I get a chance.

I'll try to get the board updated to phpBB 3.0.6 first. Had a quick look at Askimet, so its an API, there's no pre-done "phpBB with Askimet already integrated" that you can download? I don't know enough php to do it myself, and while I don't mind giving trustworthy people admin access on t...

I've disabled new registrations on the forum until I can get the pages of spam posts somewhat under control, and am starting to go through cleaning all these off.

So...how about releasing what you have so far? Both Delphi and Java code, and let the community fill in? I will give access to my CVS server with all the source code on it for anyone who wants it, I've always said that... however its a tricky situation now because I don't want people running amuck ...

Its about time I made a post about the current state of MoM IME and be totally honest about it, because I know there's still people reading this forum quite actively and I've even had a number of emails/private messages here from other developers who may be interested in helping. I believe the serve...

Umm I'm not even going to try to answer every single point other than to say... it isn't finished yet? So of course half the spells don't work, trade goods doesn't work, etc. etc. etc. Its all on a very long to do list. So you have a few choices: 1) Wait patiently for me to find time to do more work...

Sorry this is taking me ages more than I originally expected, I'll be honest and say its because I've been hooked on playing Perfect World far too much lately :) Although now I'm lv 71 its becoming a real slog and so I'm tending to give up playing that for a day here and there, so I expect I'll star...

There is in the original, I was once unbelieably lucky enough to have an Adamantium mine suddenly be discovered right next to my troop factory city on Arcanus :D

If its a graphics problem like this, run the Direct 3D Caps Reporter and post the results here or email them to me... it might give me somewhere to start if there's some perculiarity with your video card.
