[RELEASE] Everything from my server.

(1/3) > >>

Valkryst:


Hey,

Over the past year both the team and I had been working on a hopefully unique RP server. We were quite close to pushing out a playable first zone as a proof-of-concept through an open test, but due to some host issues we've lost the database along with all of the daily backups.

Before I continue, I will warn you to stay away from Uniwebhosting due to their scammy business practices. They offer great servers for a fraction of the usual price as a deal and then revoke access to the servers after a period of time. This has happened to many users over the years and it will happen again. Most recently they forgot to pay the bill for all of their servers and caused all of their customers to lose access and data. You can look more into them if you want, but just take my warning into consideration.

In the files below you can find an MPQ containing an edited Tirisfal, Western Lordaeron, partially edited Eastern Lordaeron, and nearly complete Alterac. You will also find a large number of buildings with retextured roofs to fit a number of areas such as Dalaran, Kul Tiras, the Scarlets, etc... along with a number of new banners, texture swapped ships, objects, etc... to use.

Some of the other miscellaneous files include all of the Lua scripts for the server along with a new guild system and mostly-working quest system that were being developed for the server. Although you won't be able to use the guild system without manually creating the two tables required as they were erased along with our DB backups. If you wish to use the system, just PM me and I'll provide information on how to set it up. The same goes for the quest system.

There are also various files containing development guidelines, information on various parts of the server, quests, some of the NPC SQL files, etc...

If you wish to use any of the files contained within the files below, then just make sure to add in credits to the following people. I may be forgetting a few people, but the majority are as follows.

Arathonz, Dizzyeye, MountianLion, Stian Skuland, Stoneharry, Westorz, Crow, Domminust, Miles Koblin, Roban van Turnhout, Gurluas, Swiftie, Zikmo, Rochet2, Milly, Temptation_Town, Sheep, and me.

Edit:

I've typed up my final development log for the server. It tells a rough story about how the server went down, what I've learned over the past year, and my thoughts on a few things. If you want to read it.

Eclipse:
RIP :(

Barov:
It's a shame you're giving up, your work is quiet interesting and I would have loved trying out your serveur.

=P Well there's always the abysmal chance that we'll get back to it at some point, but recreating ~400 or so NPCs from scratch including their gear, appearance, etc... along with the one or two hundred hours spent by the team carefully decorating all of the interiors, waypoints, and SAI scripts would take a very long time to redo to the standard that we were going for. The rest would be somewhat easy as most of the quests were being moved over to the new system, there were only a few items, and I remember most of the NPC spawns somehow.  :D

I figure someone could make use of the things we did do just encase we don't get back to it though. Those building retextures took quite a while to do and figure out, but there are enough to redo Alterac, Dalaran portions of Kul Tiras, any Scarlet areas, and one or two misc faction areas IIRC.

Skarn:
This is a good example why you should always keep backups somewhere in Google Drive or so.
