I decided a long time ago to release the source to Vengeance 56 in hopes that someone else might put it to good use. I finally got around to fixing the last of the critical issues that had prevented me from doing so. The current version includes a number of improvements over the one that's been available to download/play on BYOND since forever ago. It just so happens (due to coincidence and feature creep) that I'm releasing version #56 of Vengeance 56.

compiled/executables:
[ The game can be downloaded (to play) from here. ]
[ The dedicated server is here, as it has always been. ]

[file not found]

Important Notes:

The V56 client is now TRC compatible. You should [ download the latest version of the TRC library ] if you plan to use it in your game. TRC allows players to chat between clients; i.e. two people in "single player" mode can chat with each other.

The game client works best with the following TRC settings (edit file '1 - definitions.dm' in the TRC library):
#define DEFAULT_CHANNEL "v56"
#define REMOTE_ADDRESS "byond://www.terulia.com"
#define QUERIES_PER_MINUTE 30
#define TRC_COMPATIBLE_LAYOUT 0
#define TRC_OUTPUT "TRCout"
#define TRC_AUTOLOGIN 0

There are a few known bugs in the release - and likely more that are yet unknown. If/when they are fixed, I will post in this forum with announcements/updates. Since this project is now open source, if you would like to fix something, add a feature, etc., and have it added to the 'official' version linked above, feel free to post it and/or send it to me.

If you have any questions about how to edit/mod/expand/tweak/change things, please ask on this forum, and I'll be happy to help you as needed. I will continue to support the project, but you should realize that the code is provided "as-is". I rarely use comments, so if you don't understand what you're editing, you should probably think twice about editing it. When in doubt, ask before you break it.

It took a lot of effort to get the project to its current level, but I simply don't have the drive or means to continue from here. If you decide to use this system in your own game, best of luck to you. I'm very curious to see what sorts of things other developers might decide to do with it.
