Could you please post in the link to the assets.

Hello Dragonerli. What assets would you like? I would make section for custom and royalty-free Drakan assets, I mean : new medieval strucutres, new characters, new objects for future maps to Drakan? Of course I can put roytalty-free assests in this topic. For making such thing I would need permission of creators of course

Unless you want assets of Drakan, use DB Reader by BuXXe viewtopic.php?f=4&t=4320 you can export objects and even characters as .rec and .reo files and with BuXXes scripts to Blender you can import them

Thank you. You are great. Keep up the good work. But I would like assets from your game demo If possible. Royalty-free. Mainly the ones used for clifs(mountain and volcano) and caves and grass and medieval buildings. I would be extremely thankful if you included also the other ones you used in your amazing game. Also in the forum you said you had a hard time coding. The unity 3d game kit has ready scripts which are perfect for this game.(npc character attack, attack range etc.) Glad if I helped.

Thank you Dragonerli. Because topic is about Drakan Level Editor, if you want some help with it I can help you as I have some experience in map making to Drakan. So he is my question, what is your purpose? I mean you want these assets to make new game, make maps or just for test? For this topic I can only make section for .rec , .reo , Drakan database fie .db for new maps

Okay. The assets are for a landscape for a game I will like to make. It will be an action adventure game where the main character (female ) defeats monsters and saves the world from distraction. It is similar to Drakan but has very different monsters. I am trying to find a main character similar to Rynn and a dragon like arokh but I have been struggling to find them. So the assets are for this game. Sorry if this is the wrong forum. If you want you can send them to me by mail (drizarie@gmail.com).

As you may know, I initiated a project called Map pack, after lack of updates for well-known fan made patches (CP or AiO) it has to make some changes for Drakan Community. As Im not experienced as developers (Mechanist, UCyborg or BuXXe) I won't make any changes for fixing bugs in Drakan, however I don't think it is necessary since many of bugs are already removed and CP do the job with making Drakan playable in MP. This map pack will contain all maps that users were introduced on different ways(Discord, private message, or Arokh's Lair forums) that are classified as playable for MP, they'll of course contain bugs/glitches or other problems. Reason is of course some of maps were created for first time for some of users or some of maps are made in different way than usual Drakan maps and are made for fun. As some maps are beta version, for example Star Wars Arena map, but I think it is still playable for MP as it contain quite big space for MP battles. So there are reasons why maps could be unfinished, especially when there aren't many map makers on recent days.

The Map Pack you'll find on the first post of this topic and Download section on Arokh's Lair main webpage
