[C#] Lupus Engine - The First Complete Open Source C# Orpg Engine

[TheNuclearWolf]

LUPUS ENGINE

The Sharpest Engine....

 

 

Lupus Engine (Previously known as Orion+#) started as a project to convert Orion+ to c# just to see how fast I could do it.

I succeeded in about 4 days though it was quite unstable. After a lot of work the engine is starting to become stable and useable!

I Have fixed many bugs while also intoducing many new features and improvements!

Any news ? 

[TheNuclearWolf]

Ill be interested to see how you do instanced seemless maps. I have played around with this seems pretty cool. Did you write the procedural random maps yourself?

[Solstice]

Well I'm always interested in there being more engines about. Especially since some of us can't render the Intersect editor on some of their older devices.

Tbh I've been following this project since it was in eclipse origins and I would gladly help, I have some knowledge of C#.

Oh I didnt think about that haha, Not sure yet I'll have to do some more research.
Na the Procedural Map was actually already in the Orion+ I believe.

Oh? didnt know Older devices had a problem with it.. Kinda brings more Purpose to this engine I guess.

I would love any assistance! Right now the biggest thing I need help with is Bug fixing, Orion+ already had some bugs, This just took that to the extreme xD And also seamless maps.

Auction house is also VERY broken, I tried porting it over from an old vb6 engine, which worked... almost... had to change a bit and its still barely functional. Also if anyone has access to more vb6 tutorials and stuff they would like to see ported into this engine, just ask me, I would love todo it! no promised though.

[Whitespirits]

with this engine does it copy over all the vb6 issues into the new engine? I know player limit was a huge issue and obviously stability.

 

ps the editor throws me an error I cant access it

Whats the error?
This engine was ported over from Orion+ which was in vb.net
So im not entirely sure but its very likely it will have the same issues.

If its the Server crashing upon trying to login with the editor, I know that one.

 

Update:

I made a temp Hacky solution, ill commit it.
I also made an Issue on github regarding that problem if anyone is interested in helping solve it, im probably just being retarded and its something real simple.

Just got the source code, I'll read the code and see what I can get fixed

Im not to sure, I'll look into when I get some time.

Player Limit should not be an issue anymore. Its defaulted on 70 but it should be able to be changed to any number. Sorry I didnt have a solid answer before.

 

 

I have a pretty good idea on how to implement Seamless maps now, it should also work with instanced maps.. hopefully.

As for Fullscreen, its possible todo it, you should be able to follow most other Engine fullscreen tutorials they should work. You will just have to convert vb6 language to c#.

Im not entirely sure what you mean by Effect convert on forms though.. sorry.

[Zetasis]

Going to have to give this engine a play with. Just wondering but is the npc stat generator the same one that I made for eclipse way back in the day?

Possibly, I converted it from a tutorial from the Eclipse forums.

[TheNuclearWolf]

I have been working more Actively on this project! So expect new stuff soon!

Update 2x

Ok so im currently implementing both a Map and Autotile Caching system, its almost done currently giving about 100+ fps

Edited September 19, 2019 by TheNuclearWolf

[TheNuclearWolf]

Map Caching is finished, you can probably expect like 200-300 fps boost, in my case I went from 50 fps to 400+

A iluminação dinâmica pode fazer com que até os mapas mais simples fiquem ótimos! (Eu não sou um mapeador ... não julgue xD)
