The Kingdom of Drakkar

My old free hosting site in its infinite wisdom decided to delete the website.

I'm trying out a new host. You can see the new website at: http://ripguild.great-site.net/

Please email me at rathe.rip@gmail.com if you notice any issues.

Thanks and take care everyone!

Hi Everyone,

Hope everyone is safe and sound

Just a heads up that i've fixed the old website (ripguild.uphero.com) so that flash isn't required anymore.

Didn't want the old website to be unusable...

I do miss the old days, hope one day Drakkar takes off again!

Be safe,

Hi Everyone, With the donation of data collected by Ken we now have a dynamic map that is tied to the in-game "Raid-" command for Nork, Majorin and Cobrahn. If you type " raid -" in game, you get a response similar to this: (00.00.0518.53) (128,50,1)-(50) Ignore the 1st line and the 2nd line has (X,...

Hello all, I have placed a backup copy of the old RIP Guild website back online at: http://ripguild.uphero.com/ Some links may be broken, but it still has some useful information. Please remember this data is about 14 years old and may be inaccurate due to changes. I also have a massive collection o...

Hi, Just a few suggestions to improve usability of the game interface. Add a "Keep on Top" button to the lobby windows. Including the PM windows. This would allow us to pin the lobby and chat windows over the Drakkar game window. Move combat message window into its own floating resizable window with...

Re-install fixed lobby and FE. Thanks

I went ahead and tested uninstall. Still doing the weird startup of the lobby when I try.

Btw, do you have a FE suggestions post somewhere? Since your in the guts of the code thought I'd suggest some things

Issues from fresh 12/26 Install on Windows 7 SP1 : I Get "Host Lookup Failed" when Login button pressed. Does the old version need to be uninstalled before this works? DrakkarZoneTest will not uninstall. When control panel uninstall/change is chosen, the Drakkar login box starts up and the system ne...

Ah, i remember guildhalls with Perm Hexes fondly... so much junk

Hi guys, I still have a copy of the old ripguild.com website backed up if anyone wants to revive it. I stopped paying for the domain about 1 year after I left for WoW. Of course, some squatter snagged it and wants a ransom, $2400 if you can belive it! :) Can't say I remember the orgins of RIP, playi...

Yeah sadly there are no real threads in flash. What i'm considering doing is only doing "X" png->bitmap decompresses per second. This will force the air app to do a gui pass. Brad You can try out this Pseudo Threading code... I've used it with success on some projects: http://bitsofinfo.wordpress.c...

Something I stumbled accoss that some of you might remember

For all you old MIRC users, A tool called "Desk Pins" works great for pinning the lobby windows on top of drakkar. You can find it here: www.snapfiles.com/opinions/DeskPins/DeskPins.html Works in XP and vista that I know of. Now if we only had private guild chat rooms in lobby...lol -Rathe_RIP

Definitely Killgore. One of the top barbs in early IEN, who just poofed off the face of drakkar one day :?: Actually he played later versions.... havn't talked to him in a few years tho.. One of my favorite barbs was OOOOOOOOOOOGGGGGGGGGG! He sure knew how to talk with one word :lol: Rathe_RIP

Alrighty, give me the tools and I will make an event if the sysops are too busy...

How about just the Xmas event?

I've never seen it and would love to have the chance this year.....

No, it means you have 7 times more of a real life than the "Average" drakkar player :D

Brad, I REALLY hope you get the timing back to what it was for haste. As it stands now, cob is fubar'd for ments. Using the 'Dashes' command to get rnd timing. We currently get 2 attacks in cob, 3 in nork, 3 in nl. Prior to the changes you put in for sack speedups the normal timing I was getting was...

Haste has always had 3 rnds u could macro. Sometimes a lucky 4.

Course if your lagging all rules are off ;p

One of my favorite memories is when my guild back in the classic days all went on a firegiant hunt. When we were all in the lair everyone in those days usually typed their commands. So everyone typed "f fire". Oh, did I say my char used to be called " Firewraith "? :p Nothing like getting hit by 20 ...

That wont work, has to go to the main page first (there is a script there ) -Brad

Actually brad, that redirection does work, I'm just changing the destination field to the forums. It bumps up the visits when i tested it.

If the flash intro didnt work make sure your flash plugin is atleast 5+. Its a free upgrade, just click HERE

The RIP Guild is proud to announce the opening of our very own website.

Everyone Please join us at www.ripguild.com

Works good brad, Existing customers now no longer show up new signups. I also changed the destination for one of my links so it goes to forums. Is that going to cause any problems? ie. http://www.drakkarzone.com/goto.php?SID=U########-#####&D_DEST=http://www.kingdomofdrakkar.com/forums/ :) That wont...

Keep in mind the lobby already does a mini irc server. Brad are you talking about replacing that with a more robust chat engine?

I would love to see keyed channels, w/ kick rights to specific people, namable channels, etc.

Mars must be on vacation then!
