Not at the moment. I will when I'm ready to re-open the public test server.

While there are presets for a lot of stuff, some of the assets don't exist in MSW so they have to be ported over. If you just want to recreate a map that currently exists in modern KMS, MSW includes templates you can just import. If you want to recreate other maps however, relying on old wz files probably makes more sense.

Yes

Hey man, thanks for reaching out and offering me the opportunity to be a guest on your podcast. Unfortunately, that sort of thing is a bit outside my comfort zone so I'll have to respectfully decline. I look forward to seeing your next episode and whoever you decide to bring on :)

@chillen_dev that's understandable! I respect your decision. Good luck with the project 😃

Maple worlds probably wasn't designed with mmo-type content in mind. It appears to be more geared towards mobile/mini-game type content by design.

I’m also curious to know why the iPhone couldn’t handle the client load & had major latency ? Isn’t the hardware on the latest smart-phones more capable than the Avg. PC used in the 2000’s ? Is there other people tackling the concurrency issue in maple worlds ? Sorry if im annoying you with too many questions

@@aminbusiness3139 My understanding is that the main bottleneck is the servers themselves, not the client. As a result, most maplestory remake worlds have a cap lower than the 100 player hard-cap. In my experience, the client can handle at least a few hundred active players in the same map without issue. I think I've seen a clip or something from someone else trying to do the same sort of thing I'm doing here and offload the processing from the msw servers to their own back-end, so I doubt I'm the only one.

A lot of people want to re-create old ms & the player cap is the biggest hindrance in re-creating the old school experience You could potentially start a service selling hosting solutions to solve this problem or do you plan to open source it ?

@@aminbusiness3139 I don't have any plans beyond using it for my own osms server at this time.

Thanks! Yeah, that's a problem with my current implementation of movement synchronization for the mega-server stuff. Most of my dev time for the last week has been spent making the movement more fluid. It should be a bit better in the next public test.

@@chillen_dev cool, do you have an estimate when you'll be ready for that? I would be down to help test

@brodindamp My current goal is to be ready for the next phase of testing within the next month. I'll upload another video/update once I'm ready to open things back up and get people in to help test.

It's still a work-in-progress, I don't have a fully playable server at this time. This is built in maplestory worlds.

v62 is the starting point for most stuff like classes/skills/quests/items with v42 maps where applicable such as maple island. I'm (tentatively) only planning up to v72 (ToT/Pre-Cygnus).

@@chillen_devI love this! If you do end up implementing Cygnus (v75?), it’s almost a requirement to include ultimate mate adventurer as their only real benefit for existing is that. Is there anywhere I can follow the progression?

@syreplays5079 I pretty much just upload my progression stuff here on youtube whenever I have something new to share.

Do what? There’s zero reason to be 3rd job only.

@@syreplays5079 That's the only real OG maplestory. Gacha p2w and mage ultis ruined the orginal game.

at least poll this persons misconceptions because many people either dont mind or actively enjoy these things. Hpwashing is not necessary to begin with, simply a luxury. It also increases the need for (lowlvl) int equips which is otherwise the most worthless thing to scroll for. It also gives incentive to create a fresh character somewhere down the line. Leeching is iconic to plenty of players. dont be so easily misguided by the permanently victimized ppl who cant endure the privilege some other people enjoy through hard work.

⁠@@agent00meme22 You’re incorrect. First and foremost, osms (v62, typically) had almost zero endgame content (maybe Horntail?) in zakum, papulatus, and pianus. If horntail was part of this, you already had your first boss that required HP washing for some classes to be able to fight without having half a dozen priests. Seriously, watch a video of the first runs. Easily 15 people, most of which were bishops because resurrection was required. Secondly, leeching. Yes, it was common in osms, and yes *SOME* people like it, no it should not be supported. Maple royals and maple legends get touted as “great”, despite 70% of their players just being mule accounts. Nobody wants that.

@@syreplays5079 1. You can scroll for HP 2. You can sink AP directly into HP 3. Levelup for more HP 4. You should position yourself strategically not to take the biggest dmg e.g. Zakum or HT body. If you wanted to you can do these bosses before additional content was released (and without hpwashing) just fine. But thats the problem, right? Your greed? Now if your suggestion was to say increase HP gained from hpscrolls, or buff a few equips to have extra HP stat on their clean status then that might just be reasonable. Arguing to Remove the whole hpwashing mechanic is not.

@ no? HPwashing is not “increasing HP gained from scrolls”. It is exploiting a glitch in the way maplestory works in order to gain HP for free, and it’s an extremely costly way of doing that. The fact is the game can be balanced so that having enough HP isn’t an issue. Hell, just making it so hyper body can’t be dispelled would do the trick. Players of private servers today do not know what it was like to play GMS during those times. People were not HP washing, they were just relying on hyper body and resurrection.

@@syreplays5079 "The fact is the game can be balanced so that having enough HP isn’t an issue" When you understand how stupid this statement was we can continue. Otherwise keep your idiocracy to yourself. Also hpwashing wasnt a glitch.. the same old delusonial or misinformed takes as always. How about you prove it? Although I got a feeling you dont know what proof or evidence is, I know your argument and its assumption after assumption.

Oh, I see. I wonder if it has to do with different server loads between Kingdom of the Winds and MapleStory when it comes to server side processing of mobs and abilities.

Yes

I did not. This is news to me.

@@chillen_dev th-cam.com/video/0KeqM3IeUvU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Ybl79TCJEXevTbQR The link above is a game called 'The Kingdom of the Winds The Classic'. It can be played within MapleStory World and currently holds up to 1000 people per channel. I don't know if it's supported for MapleStory yet.

what is the name of this world because i have not heard of this server.

Very cool, what's next on your list?

@SkyLimitTheory The next major thing I want to do is port over cross-world combat handling to my global world. I'm planning on re-opening the public test server once I have everything ready to go for live combat testing.

Thanks! The UI stuff is in World space. I just position the UI elements the same way you would any game object using world positions. This lets me do transitions by just moving the camera's perspective up & down the map. Because this recording was done from my KR account, only about half of the animations were setup as AnimationClips while the other half were done through code as quick, portable prototypes. I've since recreated all of them as AnimationClips on my global account. This is definitely the preferred approach if you want things to be consistent and smooth and don't mind spending time using the engine's AnimationClip Editor.

When I have time ;) I should have some new stuff to share in the next few days.

Hopefully. I have some stuff that I'll be looking to test at a larger scale relatively soon.

I do plan on having a paid-for option for using your MSW avatar, similar to other servers. However, other players will be able to opt-out of seeing them.

@@chillen_dev Nice! Looking forward to it, all the best!

@@chillen_dev I think this is a good balance, some of those wacky avatars really don't belong in old school Maple

Full release as in Victoria Island, 1st/2nd job, and KPQ? At least 3+ months. Definitely not anytime soon. I'll be working on releasing things like Maple Island and 1st job only Victoria over the next few months once I finish my initial network testing.

Thanks! I don't have a discord server but I'll probably open a testing discord server later this month. If you want to reach out, you should be able to dm me if you're in the MSW discord.

I would like to have events also available on Maple Island for islanders, when applicable. Campers probably won't have access though :)

There aren't built-in scripts for this sort of thing. Creators have to code it themselves.

@@chillen_dev so where are you getting Genesis? Do you mind shedding some light on how that is coded up?

@slimesspeedshoptv I manually added the sprites/sounds for the genesis. As a proof of concept I programmatically go through each sprite and position them but there is some jank to doing it that way, so I will need to re-animate it through the animationclip editor for it to be more polished and have the sprites/positions in sync.

If you want to use any of the older UI sprites, you have to import them. Either into your workspace or resource storage.

That's just a term I used to indicate development work/reworks I've done to exceed the 100 player/channel technical limitation in MapleStory Worlds.

4th job would eventually come out. I don't plan on adding an auction house. Instead, I'm planning on having a working free market with player shops.

@@chillen_dev would the lil owl of minerva ( i think its called) be available so we dont have to search every shop on every channel just to find 1 item we're looking for?

@senkuo5039 I'm not sure, I don't have any plans to add it initially. I'm probably open to the idea, but I would like to wait and see how the initial FM release plays out without it.
