KAG 1.0 Classes

in KAG 1.0, how many classes are there? and if known, what are their specialties? i know there is a lancer, that is a horseback melee class, and a barbarian, a really strong footslogger melee class, but not sure about the archers. also, that assasin guy looks pretty cool. btw does anyone know what the new class progression system will be like?

 

Are you talking about the overworld? Or something else?

 

Where does it say that those are the future classes?

 

They were just concept classes for overworld. Which is not happening. So atm no one knows the future planned classes, if any at all.

 

There apparently will be more classes, but details are few and far between at this time.

 

I really doubt they've had the time to mess around with them, if they're not in I'm sure the sprites are gonna be available to mod them in though.

 

Classes can be modified by scripters. I've actually made my own class already.

If you'd like new classes learn how to script in the KAG engine, and then make some. The developers priorities are getting the new version to a stable point currently. New classes are fairly low on the priorities list.

 

Hey McWhiskey, has documentation for the scripting system been made available yet? Would it be challenging to learn for someone with little programming experience?

 

I don't think so. Just use a premade class, copy it, and then edit it to your desire.

 

Pretty much, if you have a basic understanding of programming then you will be fine. If you lack a basic understanding of programming then you can use a website like Udacity.com to learn some basic programming in a structured enviroment for free.

 

I'm not too big on modding yet, due to my lack of knowledge, but am severely interested in working with KAG scripts. However, don't we have to wait till they actually release 1.0? Would it make sense to commit to a project if the new engine is going to be, well, completely new?

I was actually talking about KAG 1.0...

anyway, what do you guys mean by 'overworld'?

There are two versions of Kag I know of. KAG classic which is the current thing you are all playing and KAG scripting build.

Overworld was the grand plan for KAG before the developers realised that their time could be better spent building the game from scratch in order to facilitate a much better wealth of features, gamemodes alongside much better modding support. They're essentially opening up their game to anyone with an idea, basic programming skill and a can do attitude.

Try not to remind anyone overworld, its a bit like ravenholm; we don't go there anymore.

 

Oh no, I wasn't even aware of this 'Overworld'! I mean KAG 1.0, the version which is featured in the recent videos on the dev blog. You know, with the vids about farming, building boats, etc... Apparently there is going to be some degree of class progression. It even says so on the dev blog!

 

I also was talking about kag 1.0 lol

 

Wait until KAG 1.0 comes out before modding, but in the meantime you can get your programming basics down. A good start is Googling some simple C++ programming tutorials (preferably with a game programming theme). Learn about functions, variables, and data structures and you'll know just about everything you need to know in order to mod.

 

Or you can be like most of us and let others do the hard work and enjoy the results. yay progress.
