SpiritWars Discussion / Progress
« on: July 21, 2014, 05:38:48 AM »
Hello,
I have carved out some space on my web and database servers for spirit wars development.  The database schema currently contains a spirits table, map table and a few other tables I gleaned from the code and very helpful players. Though these tables will not be used directly in game they are very important as references to how the original game operated and the various abilities of the spirits. I am also creating a small MVC front end as well that will display the different spirits, maps etc. Essentially, a spirit wars encyclopedia for all to see.  The artwork is mostly comprised of bitmaps,gifs and jpegs.  In the end I will need to convert it to png.  Anyone who wants to help me with that would be welcome.  It can be done simply by opening the files in paint and saving them as .png but it can be very time consuming given the sheer amount of files.

Thanks,
Chris

SpiritWars Discussion / What you would like to see in a new SW
« on: July 13, 2014, 04:49:59 AM »
Hello,
My name is Chris Brooks and I am going to be working on a new version of Spirit Wars.  I am a former player as well so that helps.  I have analyzed as much of the code and data as I could up to now and have been able to reverse engineer the maps and some of the spirits.

I would like to know what some of your favorite spirits were and how they worked as some of that is not clear in what I have found in the code.  I was very much into blue and white when I played but I did not play as much green and yellow etc.

I would also be interested in knowing what you as former players would like to see in a new version.  Should we stick to the letter of the old version as much as possible or go in a different direction?  What is it you always wanted to see in SW?  For example, for me I always wanted to play against multiple opponents on a larger map.  Perhaps random maps etc. 

If you have any questions about me or my plans feel free to ask as well.

Thanks,
Chris Brooks (rivstyx)
