The magic system is in place with a bundle of spells! Still need to add a couple more...
Networking for the Area system was insanely complicated, but that was the only non-trivial thing on the list of things needed to get SMP up and running. I'm proud of myself
Getting some balance and level progression worked out. I'm lovin' Grapher for Mac right now.
Mystery dimension-- still mysterious, in all its wonder and majesty. The first to find it gets a jaffa cake!
Yayyyy! can't wait
And i will get that jaffa cake!
Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
I made this map! Please check it out! It's a really awesome map that took me over a year to make! :3
Magic system is working for SMP! Apart from a bug where blocking looks glitchy, I think this means I'm done with SMP...
Was that bug already in Minecraft?
Anyways, just need to add a spell or two, maybe fix that bug, and hopefully add a few projectiles if somebody can make those sprites before I release (adding projectile types would literally take a few seconds), then we'll be golden! If BlueXestos or my roommate don't make some along with some spell icons, I'll have to do it myself Shouldn't take long.
Sorry I'm being so drawn out here, I'm having to study for a tax test which tends to devour life every time it rears its ugly face, haha.
What kind of projectile sprites do you need(resolution as well)? Not sure whether or not "if somebody can make those sprites before I release" was an invitation for anyone to do it. Excuse me if I'm mistaken
Ah, neglected to read the last page of posts. I'll whip something up.

Go for it, like I said, I'll put you in the credits for whatever I use (which I probably will). Just to save you some time, I already have a good fireball, and I made myself a fairly good generic gray-scaled projectile just now, though I could definitely do with a better one. Any amorphous blob of magic will do, haha.
Here is a preview of the sprites: See bottom of post for fixed/improved versions
Please ignore typo on preview :S
I made the fire ball in just a few seconds, because you said you already had one. If you want me to redo it in higher quality, no problem. The lightning bolt was also slightly rushed due to frustration, hence the messed up colours on the first one, and only 3 frames. I'll redo that a little later.
I'll send you the .psd with the actual (repaired) sprites if you decide to use them.
Edit: Also, I'd be more than happy to help if you wish for me to make more art in the future
Edit2: Here is a revised preview, fixed a few things, and remade fire/lightning.
I had an idea: I think you mentioned this before, but perhaps I could make particles to go with each of the projectiles, and the particles can trail behind the projectile as it flies. And perhaps a burst of them goes in every direction upon impact? Also, be sure to ignore the embarrassingly bad first preview in my previous post

Yep, particles would be amazing Post your sprites on the forum whenever you think they're done.
Unfortunately there aren't any icons yet, but they work! And they're a lot of fun... I do need to develop something visual for Taunt, Gust, and uh, "Yank," though. That'll will probably come with later particles

Do you want any help with the icon files? If you still need them and don't feel like doing them yourself, I'd be happy to give it a shot if you could give me some details (such as the size and format you are looking for). Otherwise, I look forward to the Alpha release, this looks like the RPG mod I've been searching for.

Sure, for now just make some for Taunt, Leap, and Gust. I'm not sure how "yank" should actually look in game (apart from sending the mob flying towards you), and the elemental spells will just use their projectile images.
THE ALPHA IS A'COMIN' RIGHT AT YA!!!
Probably some time next week! Eeeekk!
Progress on Alpha:
Yayyyy! can't wait
And i will get that jaffa cake!

Thank you, kind sir.

I've got a lovely bunch of spells:

Also, how about calling the 'Yank' spell Leash?
