Conflict Online is an Online Third Person Shooter that originally began in 2006 as a client-based MMORPG. It centered around medieval weaponry and the killing of monsters such as slimes. Today, though, it has evolved into a futuristic game that centers around person vs. person combat with plasma guns and grenades.

The Old Conflict

The exact release date of the original MMORPG version of Conflict Online is unknown, but the actual game has not been forgotten. Started in 2006, the original Conflict Online was a simplistic game with only two main goals: to mine as much gold as possible to make money, and to gain experience points by killing slimes. With the gold, you could purchase limited shop items, such as bronze armor, silver armor, and gold armor. You could also purchase several weapon upgrades.

Another feature in the old Conflict Online was the ability to dig up rocks and mine gold from them. This system ended in disaster, because many people dug up so many rocks, you could barely move around. Digging was than restricted to special areas known dirt patches.

Latest Beta Log

Key:

= new feature

= bug fix

~ = enhancement/improved code

April 5 2007 - v0.9.0
Conflict now uses Java Web Start. You download a very small file that automatically downloads updates and starts the game with a simple double click
Rockets are done, each round will explode with contact with another player, wall, crate... Will be available in shop soon
broadcast overloaded method that exludes a player or multiple players, easier to determine who doesn't need some data packets
New Explosion class which will handle nade explosions, rocket explosions, any explosions
The DrawLib can now draw status bars with border thickness and bg and filling colors
New rocket bullet and rocket gun, rocket explosion still needs to be done

Nade explosion collisions are checked in DeathMatchs

Bullet deletes itself when it hits a nade, this got removed when dead player was combined with dead bullet, so the dead bullet packet was unknown

Fixed grenade explosion check for death match

~ Removed version check because Java Web Start automatically checks and updates
~ Shortened explosion and plasma shot sounds
~ Better Map file check, loads official maps from resource and loads external maps from homepath/Conflict/Maps. Ex: C:/Documents and Settings/JavaMan/Conflict/Maps
~ Better explosion collision check
~ Got rid of half of nade collision check code in replace of a new explosion instance
~ Nade off packet isn't sent back to host
~ Forgot to remove test.ogg when testing ogg sounds, shortens total file size
~ Plasma bullets color no longer depends on your team, they will all by cyan
~ Replaced two vars with a rate of explosion for grenade explosion
