Hiya everybody.

It took a bit longer then expected, but I am fially done with the next version.

But, I have to dissappoint you, there is not as much new things as you'd like to see.

Within the last weeks I got busy with my job-change and also with a new online engine that I was requested to do.

Well, what should I say?
That new online engine is much better then the engine that I use for Slime Online...and I plan to improve it even more.

I noticed some things that I can change on Slime Online to improve the engine...but I cant make it as good as the new one.

Okay, that aside, here is what's new:

-A Start Message is now shown on Login
-New Structure for the OPTIONS-Menu.
-New Option "Particles" (Turn Particles, such as snow, off)
-Increased max. Room limit from 255 to 32767
-New Item: Christmas Ticket
-Players will become more transparent after standing still for 5 seconds
-Changed a digging-spots 2% Acs-takky chance to 1%
-Changed a digging-spots 2% Acs-takky chance to 1% (yap, for two spots)
-Changed a diggind-spots 5% Emp-Fragment chance to 1%
-Replaced a digging-spots Acs-takky with Slimeum
-Changed account creating (Server-Side) to be about 90% more efficient
-Changed appeareance of New City
-Added "Slimon Says"
-Added "Race Stadium"

-Added a new Desert-map
-Added another new Desert-map
-Added the first Race-map
-------------------------

Bug Fixes:

-Global.Snow Particles are now cleared on map-change
-Fixed Custom Warpballs
-Unwanted characters are now blocked for Character and Clan creation
-Fixed shaking Domo-kun outfit
-Fixed flashing pixel in blue basecap
-Fixed global snow inside begginers center
-Fixed "can leave a clan as leader"
-Fixed "can't leave clan as normal member
-Fixed a bug where you cant use emoticons when names are turned off
-Added a missing solid block on one of the lava cvae maps
-Fixed a bug where you can recieve Clan Invites even when you are allready a clan member
-Insurance drink only lasted for 5 minutes instead of 10 minutes
-Fixed Planting System
-Fixed a bug where you could not take fruits
-Items/Acs/Outfits/Tools/Emotes names in the storage (while having the mouse over it) wont go out of the window now
-The startup sound now uses the set Sound-Effect Volume
-Added missing solids on a cloud map
-Fixed "Long Names" bug


----------------------------------------------------

Server:

-Added function to log the daily traffic (Upload/ Download / Total)

The Race Stadium only has one map atm.
I'll add more once I get the time.
The new Dessert maps still were not unlocked....will also take care of that later :S

Ah, the New City was rebuilt....you now have a chance that you might spawn at unlucky positions and might get stuck or you fall out of the screen.
If that should happen please feel free to contact the servers mods.

As always we got a topic for bug reports.
This time its located here: Bug-Reports

Another sad thing is that the updater still isnt done.
Huge_Stinker wanted to take care off it ...but went sick or somethign

Okay...enough talk, the new version must (once more) be downloaded here:

Slime Online on YoYo Games

Now, enjoy (that is if you can download from YYG )

[XKingBobX]

yes i am using that verison, let me try again it might of been because i was downloading something while i was connecting

[XKingBobX]

still dont work, do i have to forward some ports?


EDIT: well sorry i couldnt play, which means i cannot rate. Pictures look good 10/10 for graphics thats all i can say.

Edited by XKingBobX, 25 April 2007 - 12:45 PM.

[BlaXun]

U dont have to forward any ports. The server handles all that.

Wierd...I have people playing...and nobody ever had problems logging in.
Could you at least create an account? <.<

[XKingBobX]

nope neither work

EDIT: how far can the server go, im living china is this a problem?

Edited by XKingBobX, 25 April 2007 - 12:53 PM.

[BlaXun]

wow, I dont know if there is a restriction.
I use my own computer to work as a server.
This is germany <.<

[XKingBobX]

umm, ive turned all my firewall off. Added to the list still nothing =(

EDIT: Could u tell me the ports?

[bahamut1993]

Ok... That was fun but... Is there any point? What can I do, other than collect and bank points? (And chat too, I guess.)

[Chocsalty]

Even looking at the screenshot makes it look very interesting. Yes people make say Stick Online is very good, but since you have alot of detailed graphics i would have to say this beats stick online and kinda reminds me of Maple Story with the kidish designs.

Keeps up the good effort.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

But stick online's connection is better. I can actuatally play!

[BlaXun]

Thank you very much ^^
I dont plan to "beat" any other games as you cant even compare this with stick.
Stick online is more a Jump-n-Run-RPG Hybrid
My game right now is more a community based game.

But thanks ^^

EDIT: I restarted the server right now. Maybe that solves the connection bug <.<

Please also remeber taht you should extract the game out of the zip file!

Edited by BlaXun, 25 April 2007 - 01:27 PM.

[huh?]

omg! yay blaXun its finally done!!!

Edit: its even better than the last one!

(did you fix the bug or is this the new engine?)

Edit: my bad didnt read post on SOBoards

Edited by huh?, 25 April 2007 - 04:09 PM.

[FlipSide]

GREAT!... seems very stable...

[Krudtso]

The game is nice but here is nothing to do please make more chatrooms and stuff... It could be nice if you could make so you could import yout own images as avatars and walk around with them. Of course a min. and max. size

[drazzke]

This is great! Very fun, better than the last version. Cant wait for more maps to explore!

-Drazzke

[stinkoman_sd2007]

I want to help you.
This game looks so great!
I can give you ideas and maps for areas.

[BlaXun]

Sure, you can give suggestions and map designs on our board ^-^
(89 users atm)

The link is in my sig ^^

[e_barroga]

My first impression to this game: not much play value.

What exactly do you do, besides collect green things?

Also, it seems to lag.

-E. Barroga

[BlaXun]

well, yes, that is 100% correct.
there isnt much play value atm, but still people like to play it.

I dont even have high plans to add anything NEW and INNOVATIVE.

I will add some more things so the game makes more sense and gets more gameplay, but I still want this to be a "Community-Game"

And with the people I currently have for the game I allready am very satisfied.

Its like playing an old-school game.
Some people will just say "This is not for me".

[e_barroga]

And what about the lag?

It seems to have network lag. Did you do the networking programming yourself? Or did you use "Online Engine"?

Just curious because Online Engine seems to be very suffice.

-E. Barroga

[geel9]

this is a very good game! Sorry if I accidentally used the police chat =(

BUG! I went to the chatroom, talked, and went to the police chat to just hang (I didn't say anything) and my words were in the police chat!

Edited by geel9, 26 April 2007 - 03:15 AM.

[BlaXun]

For the lag: I forgot to switch on an option on the client side.

I chnaged that for the next version and the connection should be better then.
We will see once its done.

The engine was made by me.
I prefer to program it myself so I know it 100%

[hotshotscott]

i made a new account, then went to log in and typed the exact same thing as before, and i pressed the little green slime blog in the bottom right corner and nothing happened...I clicked again, and again nothing happened. I went back and made a new account, then followed those steps again. Every time i click on that little green blob nothing happens..

scotty

[BlaXun]

Are you sure you extracted the game?

Maybe its just because Im beeing illegal right now and downloading anime <.<

14 minuts until download is done.
Sry for that ^^;

[hotshotscott]

ok i'll try again later, i really want to be able to play it. You should make it playable for just a local connection so those who can't connect could just play with themselves...(not wat it sounds like)

[BlaXun]

Done downloading.

Also restarted the server.
You should give it a try again.

Good luck ^^;

[hotshotscott]

ok i'll try now

EDIT
YAY worked that time! weird...anyway, i didn't get to play much cuz mum came in, but i'll try again later. I liked wat i played though. the tutorials nice and those emotions are GREAT!

[e_barroga]

One thing that turns me off about this game is the limited chat.

I mean, when you want to chat to someone, you'll need to keep following him until he gets the clue that you want to chat.

-E. Barroga

[BlaXun]

I added emoticons for simple communicating.
I will add even more, especially for the chat problem.

But I still dont plan to make chatting available everywhere.

[Wolf017]

Ah, I explored EVERYWHERE... =( The map is VERY small, what about that cloud level i saw on your video demos? =(((( Is there some way to get there i dont know about?

[Zakiller2000]

The cloud area was in beta 3a. BlaXun'll probably put it back in soon.

[Wolf017]

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Maybe you could just make it so that the text you type will just float above your head for a few seconds then disappear, no chat log or anything... Nothing complicated... =)

[BlaXun]

Of course that could be easily made.
But that exactly the thing I dont want ^^

[KC LC]

I removed about two dozen posts in this topic, because the only other alternative would be closing it. I'd rather not do that.

But that will happen unless the topic stays on track. This topic should ONLY be used to comment on the game, or to make suggestions for improvement.

It should NOT have:
-- chat about the server status
-- chat about joining the team
-- chat about your "online" experience (unless you're reporting a bug).

Use the PM system for these, or the author's online board.

[BlaXun]

Thank you very much, KC LC.
You propably saved me lots of trouble ^-^

The way you acted was exactly as a mod should have acted!
Thank you ^.~

[mattpk]

With the latest version, i played once, next day i push the middle buton, the game freezes and nothing happens.

[goodman84]

It should NOT have:

Umm that is game related..... , But I'll stop there Cause I wan't this to stay open! Ty

Good from screens, nice simple design. 7.1/10

The server would have been down.
Check the Server Status on the Slime Online Boards.

This forum is not for discussion of the server status. Simply because you end up with 20 pages of the crap and there is no point to discussing it (Whats the point in saying "aww the server is not up cant wait to play!" when you could just not post anything.

If your not giving feedback or suggestions post it on the Slime Online Boards.

[camieman10]

WOW!!
This is in my top 5 GM games, I LOVE IT!
The graphics suite the game very good and the music is very nice also.
There isn't much to to yet, but I am looking forward to the next version!

[Y@M$]

For some reason it's not letting me register on the game. I'll click it and the sound will keep going as the mouse freezes in place and it hasn't done anything since. I tried before downloading it fro YoYo games, but that had the same thing but when I clicked register it said 'unable to contact the server.' Is it because I'm too far away (America, here)? Or is the server down or something like that?

[meitme]

the server is down for the weekend

[Y@M$]

Ah, mmkay thank you.

[grimblade]

i think i was the first in jail and in jail make sure you have have a darker sound its to cheery

[flyslasher]

This is very fun!

[BlaXun]

I am sorry to inform the GMC that late, but beta 4c is out for a week now ^^;

Sry for that .

The new version adds much much more maps.
Of course als o bug-fixes.
Beta 5 is on its way!

[Doogie_Forever]

This game is cool but lags a lot.

Why don't you add chat to everywhere.
It would make the game much better instead of leading someone to chat (Someone previously said this I think).

[Bill23]

I had a lot of fun playing this, but have discovered an extremely annoying bug. In the Old City, I saved, then as soon as "Saved" appeared at the top of the screen pressed Escape to exit the game. When I tried to log on again, the game said my name (Bill23) and password were still being used. Please try to fix this! I want to play again!

[BlaXun]

Oh, I am sorry for that bug.
This bug appeared in beta 4c the first time.
I allready fixed it for beta 5 and I hope to release beta 5 tomorrow.
Here are some scrrens you might like to see:

[BlaXun]
