Kronos - Scripted Custom World

[stoneharry]

Information

Kronos is a custom world which centres around the Alliance and Horde battling over Blackrock Mountain. It was created over the course of patch 3.0.9 -> 3.3.5a. It was never finished, as the end game content was never created, hence why it never became a server. However, the majority of the quests and systems were created, featuring:

• 40 levels of custom content.
• Over 200 custom, scripted quests.
• Hundreds of custom creatures.
• The clever use of phasing.
• Race creatures in an attempt to earn your very own mount.
• A custom travelling system using dynamic flight paths.
• Cinematics and stunning visuals.
• Much, much more!

The Alliance and Horde have separate quest lines that relate to one and other, seeing the story from each faction’s point of view. Your decisions will have an impact upon the world – you can choose to bring peace between the Alliance and the Horde, or, wage war in a futile battle to make your faction dominant.

You can read more information about the development, ideas and concepts behind this server -here-. You can use this project as a learning resource; however, many of the scripts are –very- poorly created, due to a lack of knowledge on my part when it was created - over a year ago and only recently updated properly.

I like this alot. As I recall you've put alot of work into this. Glad to see it's finally public and it's a shame it was never completed.

Don't judge this by the pictures, those do it no justice. You've got to play it to appreciate how much work has gone into it.

Great write up Stoneharry. If I still played that version of wow and what not, I'd fully play it. GZ is correct, the screenshots do it no true justice. Scripting like this and actually making working quests on a private server is one of the hardest things to do. People claim custom quests and what not, but they are lying. You are the real deal! Thanks for your great effort, and release.

If it's the same quality as prison break but bigger it's a must have.
Going to test this next week


Also, what is it with the zzz_ prefix before every functions ? I really don't get your coding style :/

It's the same sort of quality, but on a much grander scale, so yes it is.

The 'zzz' prefix I use is for three reasons:
1) Back in the day, scripts were loaded in alphabetical order and printed as they were loaded. Any errors would print as it went along. Adding zzz meant that the script was loaded last, thus any errors were easy to read rather than having to scroll up and find it.
2) Collision, adding zzz as my own little coding style meant that my scripts would never conflict with anybody else.
3) It let other people see that this is indeed scripted by me, as my scripting style was recognisable.

I don't really use it any more. Although I have seen other people using it since, lol.

Use the ad.exe as shown in the read me. It extracts the DBC and map files, which you can then transfer to the server folder.
