ZX Allods

From Alex Astafiev To All 1 September 2006

Hello, All This is a turn-based RPG. I played around - I played avidly, I couldn’t tear myself away. For mobile phone - the game is simply excellent. To interested persons I offer Watch the game on your mobile phone (you need a pretty cool one) Having become infected with alldos, discuss the possibility of a 1:1 transfer to ZX. Don't worry just port 1:1. The matter is greatly simplified by the fact that many moments in you can simply decompile the toy into the original Java text - and watch how what... (in 90% of cases this is not required - everything is clear) In addition, the toy is already more or less balanced, there are text messages inside files with prescribed RPG qualities. Which sword gives how much, which one how much does the character have, etc... Plus, in principle (if they go, of course) - you can talk to our the programmers who wrote it, maybe they will help (of course there is no guarantee, but... an attempt not torture, in the Nivalov forum they babble..). There are also graphics, you can rip. p.s. without playing the original toy I’m talking about, there’s no point in babbling here "about nothing" is not enough... The fact is that mobile allods have managed to create very good gameplay. There are few heroes there, not crazy weapons and other items that me I just turned away from RPGs on PC. In general - “the very thing”. Golden mean. You can play with shock.

Hello Raider well, post the jar file... we'll see...

From Ignat Nikiforov To All 2 September 2006

Hello, rasmer ras> Well, do something that only we will have, and not on any platform ras> more... ras> I just feel that right now it’s going to start from GNTB... "" Yes, I don’t know how, I can’t, I have no time ras> and the like..." Offtopic: Yes, exactly. No time and skills. Okay, I’ll go think about the plot and write a text quest in basic. It will turn out - Someone will process it and bring it to mind. Not offtopic: In the West, Allods were published as "Rage of mages". If you still make Allods, and As it is fashionable lately - in two languages, it is better to "rage of mages". On This label is popular in the West.

From Yakovlev Anton To All 2 September 2006

Hello GNTB GNT> Ahhh. The old PC allods1 were also nothing... Are they needed GNT> Spece? Why do something that is already available? After all, it’s better to have your own GNT> "national" :) flavor. Something that only we have. Otherwise Speck GNT> the platform of “castrated” ports is not very encouraging. Well, try to list the games that “only we have.” most of Spec's masterpieces were released on other platforms: PC, amiga, and atari...etc.

From Ignat Nikiforov To All 2 September 2006

Hello Raider Ahhh. The old PC allods1 were also okay... Are they needed on Spec? Why do something that is already available? After all, it’s better to have your own, “national :)” coloring Something that only we have. Otherwise, Speck is like a platform for the “castrated” There are few ports to please.

From Alex Astafiev To All 2 September 2006

Hello, scl^mc You don't need to take me literally. I don't tell people what to take Nivalovskie Allods are literally one-on-one and rip them off. This is really not very interesting. No. I'm saying take GAME DESIGN as a basis and make Spectrum version. Perhaps even with simplifications somewhere... But let's start I definitely advise you to just copy and imitate. Why do I suggest people pay attention to Allods, and specifically mobile ones? The main reason is that a lot of things have already been thought out. Reference design completed. you didn’t notice that almost ALL successful and completed Spectrum Are home-grown domestic games made according to ready-made samples? This is UFO Glory Mednonogova, Fire&Ice Slava Kalinin, Dune, and many others. This is no accident. Taking a ready-made game is the key to success. Guarantee that the game will be made at all with such tiny forces. It is easier for spectrumists to do something that can be looked at as a model. They don't professional game makers, and do not write code for 8-10 hours a day during several months. And they don't have a scriptwriter, a chief game designer, a department quality control and others. The efforts are quite modest. And the main thing is that all this is done absolutely for free and for fun. That is, no funding and no income... You won't have to waste time on the actual game design. Huge number time spent on professional design: Game historyInterface design in one place or another - battles, a trading post, a map, weapons, character skills. Game balancing - careful selection of strength, health, hero skills, strength weapons, defense, magic, crystals, mapping... Even if you call the game "Allods", then I suspect that Nival will not have claims, because it’s a good thing - as the ZX Spectrum platform has not been commercialized has none. Well, as a last resort, okay, don’t call them allods, just borrow characters, weapons, balancing and gait. But I wish the history and maps were different. In addition, there is something to improve - not everything is perfect in allods. Balance is far from perfect - at the end of the game I fought all the battles even with the most serious opponents finished in 2-3 moves, it became simply uninteresting to play, because the AI was minimal missing.

From Shadow Maker To All 2 September 2006

Hello GNTB Seriously popular? Come on, immediately give me at least one address of their hat server for multiplayer! For example, Monolitovsky closed long ago as no longer needed...

From Surfin' Bird To All 3 September 2006

Hello, karbofos “Make something like a fallout” is the same as “Paint something like Mona Lisa" :) Repeating allods is a much more sober idea. If you do, I'll buy it.

From karbofos To All 3 September 2006

Hello GNTB It’s better then to do it like the immortal fallout-2 it's still popular!

Hello Surfin' Bird Sur> “To do it like a fallout” is the same as “to paint something Sur> like Mona Lisa":) Sur> Sur> Repeating Allods is a much more sober idea. If you do - Sur> I will buy. I mean that alods are a bit like foul, but foul is still more popular alod. my job is to suggest :)

From Ignat Nikiforov To All 3 September 2006

Hello Shadow Maker However, I heard that it was reprinted twice in Germany. True, the second once in the collection with "Blitzkrieg". And about the name: instead of “rage of mages” (rage of magicians) you can make “rage of wizards" (wrath of wizards) or "rage of warriors" (rage of warriors). Or even move away from tired fantasy into a sci-fi setting, and call it "rage of mariners" for example.

Rage of Mario - with a limited port on MSX so that the Japanese can drag it out ;-)

Hello, rasmer ras> I'M STILL TURNING TO THE MOBILE VERSION ON MY SONYERICSSON K750i... BUT ALREADY ras> I UNCONVERTED ALL THE TEXTS... AND LOOKED AT A LITTLE MAP... Well, in vain. I didn’t start playing knowing in advance how it would end. The end of course sad. The texts are in clear text, only in UTF-8 ;-) I wrote a utility: ┌─- code ─── import java.io.*; public class decoder { public decoder() { } void decode(String arg) throws Exception { File file = new File(arg); DataInputStream stream = new DataInputStream(new FileInputStream(file)); while(true) { String s = stream.readUTF(); System.out.println(s); } } public static void main(String[] args) { try { new decoder().decode(args[0]); } catch (Exception e) { } } } └── code ─── - original texts more than 65 kilobytes. It's more than an address space Spectrum... File: utfdecode.rar http://zx.pk.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=3699

Hello Raider We get graphics. unpack the jar nickname, copy all pak's into dexorer except scenes.pak and launch the batch file. after decompression, all png images will become visible inside the packages (although this kills the directory of offsets at the beginning of each pack, well, it’s for us and not needed) ..then we set my tool on each pack - pngrip, he does all the work.
