Curious Artila crossmr Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 I remember some time ago.. coming across a site that mentioned something about a game being done called Exile online..it had the classic graphics.. and I remember very little beyond that.. I can't even recall how long ago it was. Does anyone know anything about this? ( I don't think Jeff had anything to do with it from what I remember) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast ben4808 Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 Whatever it was, it must not have been put into action because I've never heard of it. This is Exile Online, as close as it could get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curious Artila crossmr Posted October 11, 2004 Author Share Posted October 11, 2004 I think there was a client, and I can't recall why at the time I didn't download it and try it out. I just thought of it now because someone had mentioned something about free online games, and having just gotten back into this it struck me as odd that I never followed up on it..i'm trying to google it..but finding way to much unrelated stuff to dig through. I do recall that it was plainly called Exile Online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 I think I recall that as well. I don't think it was related to this Exile. There have also been MUDs called Exile, some Exile-related, some not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curious Artila crossmr Posted October 11, 2004 Author Share Posted October 11, 2004 The only reason I think it was related was because it used the graphics set from this exile. It could have been a fan project, etc. I'm still trying various google searches (even if the project is dead, usually you can still find old pages on it) but nothing jumping out at me yet.

Magnificent Ornk Donald Hebb Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 I think you're referring to the MUD which was under development by Ace and another (Darin, IIRC). It never happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curious Artila crossmr Posted October 12, 2004 Author Share Posted October 12, 2004 if the mud was text based, no i'm not..this was seemingly an online version of exile using the same graphics. [edit]From all my searching, I'm fairly sure this is a dead project now... when I saw this it was upwards of like 3-4 years ago at least... (its just so tough to search because exile is such a popular name) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Drakefyre Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 There was an Exile MUD about five years ago. Aceron was also developing Kaimorad, which was either an online Exile or fixed BoE, and highly illegal in any case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 Kaimorad was a fixed BoE. Jeff was not happy to hear about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Kelandon Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 You'd think he'd just offer to buy the rights to it for, say, thirty bucks and then sell it in place of the normal BoE. I suppose it might get more legally complicated than that, though.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious Artila crossmr Posted October 12, 2004 Author Share Posted October 12, 2004 Yep, which is why I was having so much trouble finding this It was really a LONG time ago, but I remember it clearly. I can't recall how I found the game (likely through mpogd.com or a similar site) but I can't seem to find a trace of it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 In addition to bug fixes, Kaimorad apparently had a completely reworked combat and spell system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curious Artila crossmr Posted October 12, 2004 Author Share Posted October 12, 2004 that would probably explain jeff not being happy with it. Its one thing to fix a bug, its another to change the game entirely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious Artila crossmr Posted October 12, 2004 Author Share Posted October 12, 2004 well I saw something, somewhere long ago... going by the name 'exile online' and had screenshots that looked identical to exile..whether or not it was that I dunno.

Unflappable Drayk Djur Revolutions Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 T Thuryl do you know whether Kaimorad was a hacked/recompiled version of Blades of Exile, or a complete rewrite? Because the former proves to be intensely difficult (BoE's internals are like Sesame Street, except without the sesame or the street and with extra rape), and any rewrite of BoE would logically turn into something completely different. That's what happened with Pyg. I still remember the IRC discussion where (I think it was still Gemini at the time, too) we decided that reverse compatibility didn't matter -- and the floodgates opened.

Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 Aceron implied that Kaimorad was genuinely a hacked version of BoE; whether it was still capable of playing normal BoE scenarios I don't know. He did post a guide on h*x-*d*t*ng BoE savefiles, and once claimed that he could insert spells into BoE with pretty much any effect he liked for purposes of cheating through a scenario, so he'd obviously made some progress finding his way around BoE's viscera.

Unflappable Drayk Djur Revolutions Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 Well, Exile III savefiles appear to be pretty much memory dumps, so that doesn't surprise me. If they're anything like BoE/Exile scenario files, manipulating them would be trivial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well-Actually War Trall Dragyn Bob Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 Aceron must have put a lot of time into Kaimorad. I remember when UA said that the first time he tried to compile the BoA editor with some slight changes he got 481 errors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast ben4808 Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 If you think BoE is not capable of what you want it to do, why not write your own game and make it legal? There's no point in risking having Jeff on your case; he's already ignorant enough of us BoE players. (discussion already had) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Rupert Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 *sigh* Ever heard of a little thing called "Pygmalion"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast ben4808 Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 Yes, but I've never heard much about it, except for the fact that Djur is making it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotghroth Rhapsody Sticky Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 go to the site look at the pyg forum and just don't go to the other parts of the site if you don't like the content. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
