So with the approval from Vadi, a few of us in the community wanted to get this system back on track. Currently the system is not stable to work normally. Right now there are still a lot of things that need to be tested and fixed to get it to a full release anytime soon. However, compiling what the system is now, I wanted to make a post so people have a place to go to download the system, report back any errors they find, and have a spot for all of us to work together on this.
Please note that by downloading and using this system, things will break, and this post is not intended to release the client side version. This post is strictly to get the code out to the people who are willing to help fix things and to test them so we can make a release at a later unknown date. This thread and the channel on discord will be for the client side version, while the main thread will be for the main system.
Currently the checkoff list is up to date and still needs to be worked through. That can be found
here.
Priest needs to be updated
- The removal of the skill Healing from the system
- The addition of the skill Zeal into the system
- The addition of prayer balance into the system
The client side system can be downloaded from
here using the instructions Vadi posted
here. The .zip in the instructions no longer works. You will need to download directly from github to have access to the files. Click the Clone or Download button on the right, and download a .zip file. Extract that .zip and continue to follow Vadis installation instructions from the post mentioned above.
Vadi created a channel on the Svo discord for the client-side version for people to ask questions and to post updates so they don't get mixed in with the main client.
An invite to the discord channel can be found
here.
Again I want to iterate that this is not a official release of the client-side svo. This isn't even an alpha release. This is mainly for the coders in the community to have easy access to find the code and to report back any problems they find. If you have any questions or need to report anything, please comment in this thread or the discord server. The people who are keeping track of it will respond here.
Once we can finalize the checklist and get the system working functionally we will announce a full release to the client-side system. Until then it is up to the community to get these changes done as Vadi is no longer responsible for the updating and maintaining of this system.

I dont see why it wont be ready by the 1st but the three of us like to break stuff as we fix other things. Its been a rollercoastwr ride to say the least. But we are a lot further than where we started at the start of this month

It is my great pleasure to finally announce that we are ready to start the beta testing of the in-client / multi class / finally updated version of svof for BETA testing. Now for the most part we have the bugs worked out though more than likely they are a few left in there. That is why we are beta testing it before we go full release mode for it. Yes it has been a headache on the few of us who have been working on it and getting it ready for this stage though for some others *cough* Dragonknight *cough* more like breaking it and fixing it all over again. Needless to say it has been an adventure to learning the system and getting it going again and adding in all the new stuff since the last offical release over a year ago. Now I once again stress that yes there probably some bugs still in there even though we have tried our best to get rid of them. Ok on to meat and potatoes of this post.

!!!!!!!!DIRECTIONS FOR INSTALLATION!!!!!!!!
Seriously read these otherwise your just going to start messaging me aksing whats going wrong and quite honestly I don't feel like answering the probably hundreds of messages I will get for this so don't be a dumbass and just listen.
1. Uninstall your old svo from the package manager and close out the package manager
2. Download the ZIP file - Doesn't matter to where
3. UNZIP again I say UNZIP the Zip file where ever you want it to go
4. In mudlet open up the MODULE manager !!Not the package manager the MODULE manager!!
5. Again in the MODULE manager you will navigate to where ever you unzipped the Zip file if you listened to number 3 and click the install button
6. Install the file that says "svo (install me in module manager)" - Don't be the person who messages me asking why things didn't load correctly because you didn't select the right file. Seriously don't be that person.
7. After that file has installed close out of the module manager - That file on loading will load the rest of the scripts in the right order.
8. Close out and restart mudlet just to be safe but make sure to save it first.
9. Upon reopening mudlet and reconnecting to the game you may want to go ahead and redo your installation and make sure all your previous settings are still right or update them all just in case.
If you run into bugs and the sort please file an issue with a LOG. Again I say with a LOG on github under the issues portion. Link below just so I don't get asked that question either.

Discord link for the other savages who want to annoy us:

P.S. if you message me about something not working right because you didn't do what I just said above I am going to call you an idiot and proceed to berate you.
P.S.S. Donations in credits are very welcome for the headache we endured to get this far. I can divvy them out to the rest of the team.

Mudlet Discord join up
Side note: I highly recommend you turn on echo lua errors to the main console while testing. It is under Settings>Main Display, and it is a check box toward the bottom.
I just want to implore the people using Svof to donate credits to this cause since that will ensure the team is compelled and motivated to continue making improvements. Please donate, even if it is a small amount. You can make your donation to @Qwindor and he will divvy them out.
- download the zip, unzip
- remove current module, add the new module again
- do we have to set it up all over again?
Is this process correct?
Thanks
