Hi Geoff,
-1/2-
The spec should be in HTML format (for numerous reasons).
The current version is available through CVS.

You can find instructions for CVS installation here:
http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=3D9322&group_id=3D450=
52

Don't forget the Allan's last message:

There is only one file.

Good luck ;)

I hope I will clarify all of that :)
First MyRPG intend to provide the ability to create Massive RPG games ove=
r
Internet.

It's a big work (we know that :)).

So there is a video game named "Land Stalker" (Sega, some screen shots ar=
e
available
here
http://shell.world-net.co.nz/~jimeous/stuff/landstalker/landstalker.htm) =
and
I think you can find (or I can help you to find) an emulator and the rom =
to
see it.
Made in 1993, this game  was amazing (3D isometric/manga like graphisms).

When I've created the MyRPG project, I first have the idea to make a Land
Stalker like
game but multi player and over Internet.

So for now, we'll try to do that but keeping in mind that we could create
an other type of RPG (cyber-punk ambiance...) with an other type of graph=
ism
(true 3D or 2D...).

Thus:
- Sprites: 3D isometric (manga like prefered but not mandatory, I find it
particularly
  nice)
- Environment: Heroic Fantasy (magic, dragon, elf, dwarfs, humans and so
on...)
- NPCs: have to be specified (Artificial Intelligence...)

That's approximately what has been specified (in my mind) for now, the re=
st
has to be made...

Indeed, and we can discuss of this... myrpg-dev is here for that. :DDDD

Particularly, I think your experience can be a great ally.

Don't hesitate to send mail in case of difficulties configuring CVS...

Hi Loic,

Just a couple of questions ...

Do you want the spec in text or HTML?

Also, am I making my own judgements as to what I think the functionality
should be for the various elements (e.g. Sprites, Environments, NPCs) or
should the four of us on the spec team discuss the general idea,
first?  The document on the site now does not give enough information to
really glean what you're intentions are for these types of elements.

If you would like me to take a stab at what I feel the functionality shou=
ld
be based on my experience playing other games, I am happy to do that.

Geoff
