Thilgon;809316 said:well, actually, file format doesn't matter at all, as long as we are speaking about runuo.
only support i am hoping for is for razor with the new encryption, and just the minimum with SA 2D, like manage the third race and the new skills basics, that is fundamentally what requires to modify the runuo core itself...
the rest, like adding equipments and monsters, well, that i could do it myself...
besides, i've took a look at the files...
art.mul has been completely redone, it is a lot bigger since it has the "empty slot" graphic inserted everywhere... seems like they took out something from there, removed the test animation from the bottom, and expanded it, wich means, lot of places to put customs... wonder if that art.mul and tiledata.mul could be read by the older client
garg's house tiles seems nice, anyway...
new anims seems to stay in the .uop files, but bodyconv.def reads them like they stay in anim5.mul
garg's gumps can also be used (with an appropriate animation switch) for normal races, since the paperdoll is exactly of the same size...
people that made SA seems to don't like the solutions previously used in SE and ML, they removed LOTS of SE duplicates and totally removed the "equip that change appearance based on race" thing that was with elven heads and helms lol...
still have to get a closer look, but if i find a way to use the new client things even with an older client, well, that means fun!
(by the way, they didn't touched at all the places where anyone could have put in custom data, so you could just plop your things into the new files and go lol)

), that meaning that the new client is harder to customize, but not to emulate...

That client is years off from use, just so you are aware.Thilgon;809341 said:yes, i know, but, in the 2D SA client, the system is almost the same.
Animations are read (in bodyconv.mul) from anim5 even if them are not really there, so this keeps working as usual (the old, ugly 1000 anim slots).
Tiledata (the most important of the files for runuo use, as far as i've understood), seems to be the same as usual, just updated...
Gumps, as well, are the same as always.
there are, out there, some examples that runuo can work with the new file format (that means, since mostly the core is the same, just some tweaks done, the runuo core is probably better than anything OSI could do
what i am trying to say is that, if this 2D SA client (not speaking about the new KR/SA client all the time along, i care mostly of the 2D "legacy" client) keeps staying on this track (old format files renewed, new format files as support), i can't see any obstacle in adding some basic support and functions in runuo for it (might be as well the svn after the RC3 release to take care of this, no hurry at all
ps: anyway, tried to make new art and tiledata work with the older client, both runuo and the client worked fine, but the new arts couldn't display at all, just like i supposed...
all my trust lies in the customizability of the xna client at this point

P.P.S. No, server will NOT be in public release smile It's a challenge for all professionals
...also this statement:
New Housing Tiles - now it works above 0x3FFF limit (hello RunUO team
