Vanguard - I don't give a fuck if it's dead, It's still brown as fuck (Download link in 1st post)

Sorry it's been awhile since I have given a update but i think you will like this one.



-Updated code to cancel casting. Added code to remove a beneficial effect. Changing the buff structure to support how the client wants to remove a beneficial effect, reintroduced the stacking issue of buff icons. If you cast a high level buff and then try lower level buffs, it will block them. If you cast your buffs from lowest version to highest, it will only apply the highest buff, but it will still show the icons for the lower level buffs. Its just a display issue.

-Added attribute per level increase values

-Added support for short term buffs to the attribute code.

-Brought the NPC attribute code up the the same level as the PC code.
-Made NPCs have HPs based on their level.

-Initial implementation of encounter windows.

-Added allocation point handling (both adv and craft).

-Added in foundation for trading you get all the windows and can add items and coins just once both parties hit accept the windows disappear just nothing is added/deleted yet.

-Now have the following commands from the console Broadcast, Announce, Tell, Who, Kick, GetMOTD, SetMOTD, Shutdown [Time] [interval]

-Implemented basic Randomization of NPCs



Now for the good stuff which i expected to have something to show you long before now but the person that was suppose to be working on the system kept saying for weeks he was almost done but never showed us anything and then just disappeared.

So since the basic implementation of combat was done Zippyzee decided to work on the quest system so we can put our content people to work. So after two weeks i give you the first look at questing (still a work in progress).

No problem, you're just delivering a realistic Vanguard experience!


Seriously, though, I have more hope for this project than I ever did for Vanguard.

Even with its problems I liked vanguard better than any mmo out currently. Unfortunately I didn't even try it until a few months before it was shitcanned. It suffered more than anything from a lack of population. Chunking was annoying as hell though.

great work sir!

Logged in, did some auto attacking, got sad this game is gone Can't wait for working bard songs/skills!

You can log into emulator?

You can but you cant attack yet. You can buy all gear free on auction house though and flying mounts for the feels.

You can attack and kill stuff with auto attack but using your spells is getting some TLC on the back end so those are temporarily not working. More and more spells should be coming online soon though.

You can also do a bunch of quests in isle of dawn and see the beginnings of diplo being implemented.

New status video available. Enjoy

Looks like some good progress, at this rate we can all go and replay Vanguard before EQNext ever comes out.

I don't remember Blue Man Group doing battle music for Vanguard.

I'd love to see someone take this emu, and create a new world out of it.

I'd mostly love to run around the world again. I saw steps on the site...is that for the emulator download?

I agree, if someone did with VG what Wiz and co did with EQ (i.e. Shards of Dalya), it would be fantastic.

If you could tighten things up, shrink the game world, re-zone, re-lore, re-populate, fix some of the programming issues, etc, it could be an amazing game.

Some of the assets available are top notch. I was just remembering how cool the little dungeon Kasavari Hollow was the other day.

They don't have access to the source code so I don't think they can really fundamentally change the game or add new systems.

That's disappointing to hear. (I'm no programmer) So, the eq emu guys had eq source code but the vg emu guys don't have vg source code?
