Project status

Formats of files are being digged and server is being coded in compatibility mode with RoM II client. First working version of hat was coded. Formats .a2c, .lgn, .sck, itemname were completely investigated. data.bin, .alm formats were almosst completely examined. Structure of .reg files is known.
We took out quite many formulas from RoM II (but far not all), algorithms of vision area forming, path finding were analysed.
databin2xml, itemname2xml, regtools, charedit utilities were written for facilitate working with source formats.
Project is non-commercial, participants are working at it in their free timee, so it is being developed not too fast. You can speed up this process, if you help us.
