Thread: The Void Project

  1. #1

    Default The Void Project

    After much thought on how to contribute to the evony community I've decided to make a program to assist evony users, unfortunately I'm rather content with all the tools we have now (most likely because I don't use them), nevertheless I think that it would be a great idea to make a tool to assist us.

    So what exactly will this tool do? Quite frankly I have no idea. So I thought I'd post this idea and see if it catches on. Is there anything that you, the evony community, would like to have a program to do (that is within the ToS).


    A few things to note :
    1) Its downloadable content you keep on your computer.
    2) It uses the .net (2.0) framework
    3) I may not be able to do everything all at once.
    4) Needs to be within the rules outlined by the ToS
    5) I have not considered socket programming (and there are some obvious problems certain things) so for now anything like peer to peer is out of the question.

    Here are some things that I am considering putting on it at this moment:
    1) A food calculator (age 1 and 2)
    2) A troop calculation time (input technology and hero stats and it will tell you how fast you can make each type of troop) (age 1 and 2)
    3) Star level bonus references
    4) Some of the Guides that have been in this thread : http://bbs.evony.com/showthread.php?t=145536

    I attempted to attach what should be a photo of what project void looks like now (absolutely empty) so you can see progress as we go (assuming that we actually go somewhere)

    Whether To fight until there is no one left
    Or
    To die fighting by someone stronger
    That is not for me to decide
    However I will fight you until one of us ceases to exist.

    I'm aware of that, this is why the point of this thread is to suggest ideas to add to it.

    Against ToS is a pretty broad thing

    Technically any 3rd party program that enhances game play is against it

    Which means my AeroCalc, skype etc... Basically they reserve the right to ban anyone for anything

    Using excel or notepad to take game notes could even be considered against ToS technically

    I suppose this is correct; however, I am pretty sure they limit this to mean anything that does a task in the game for a player. For example, a bot. A bot that lets say looks for enemy cities and tells you where all of a player's cities accesses the game and does something for a player whereas simply searching for them and putting in a database like evolliance does not go against the ToS. (Basically Evolliance vs *******(sp?) Studios argument).

    Edit : The asterisks are for that website that evony is having a lawsuit against, they were in the newspapers at some point.
