At Last!! Minions of Mirth Has done it!!!
by Johnny Hill · in General Discussion · 04/09/2005 (9:54 pm) · 98 replies
I have been exploring Minions of Mirth world and I must say its very very good. This is torque used like I imagined from the beginning :)
Now like the newb I was I didnt read anything at first. I didnt even try single player world but instead jumped straight into the alpha world. And I was grinning from ear to ear. :)
Josh was on and took me on a tour of the place. It took me a min but I manage to catch on to the controls and was checking out the local city, watching Josh demonstrate the realistic effects like weather rain ice, spell effects in the world and on some of the people heh.
I know some on GG play WOW but imagine the same functionality done by a smaller team using torque, Iam not talking graphically I mean functionality was dead-on smooth. Similiar but different still.
We went to the mountain zone to check out the dwarven ruins and Killed some bears and a old great bear. I forgot the bear name. :)
The goblins had invaded the ruins so they were everywhere. The interiors were dark and creepy like most dungeons. I like the way the doors glow eerily, but they will only open if you possess the key.
Did I mention this was made using Torque LOL :)

The journal is pretty neat. It has topics, subtopics, and entries... it is seamlessly integrated with the Dialog and Quest systems... it is also persistent, and you can clear items you are no longer interested in.

Here's a screenshot of the new Journal, Help System, and Customizable Font Sizes!!!The journal is pretty neat. It has topics, subtopics, and entries... it is seamlessly integrated with the Dialog and Quest systems... it is also persistent, and you can clear items you are no longer interested in.

I am just starting out on Torque and also have ambitious plans. I wonder if I should be looking at Python rather than TS.

This is amazing work, Josh.I am just starting out on Torque and also have ambitious plans. I wonder if I should be looking at Python rather than TS.

Edit: Whoever said indie teams couldn't do MMORPGs for cost has just eaten their words horribly.
P.S. GarageGames: You need to implement a thing that cuts up long posts into seperate pages like most forums have. Really.

It seems that... Can you create your own continent (or even a world), link it to the main server area with a bridge (or a portal), and be god there? If so... Wow. Definiely awesome. I thought at first you would have to host your own server, but then I see that it seems like user-created content. If so, I'll be spending lots of otherwise valuable developing time creating my own planet with an involved background story and quests that slowly unravel it and stuff. Can people from the main dedicated server come to my place with their charicters? And can I add, say, a playable race, or a spell?Edit: Whoever said indie teams couldn't do MMORPGs for cost has just eaten their words horribly.

By the way, when i downloaded this game i got a trojan virus on my computer, and i know it was from this game because right after i installed it within 10 minutes my computer started to say virus detected and then it ended up crashing so i had to get a new one, but besides that MoM is ok............

What file was it exactly that reported the virus? it should be in your log of when your computer said "virus detected"

Post on the MoM forums for a better response.

I have to say that I cant wait to get in...the project looks phenominal.
Im the leader of a post-apocalyptic MMO group that has finally settled on using Torque for our project (after starting in Unreal, half-starting in Irrlicht, almost switching to RealmCrafter, and realizing that Torque has the functionality and nice graphics we need).
Your project brings hope to all the competent groups out there that a project like this CAN be done.
Here's wishing you the best and hoping we can contribute.
