Can you bring it back if it is possible?
Thanks!

NeoRaven is planning on bringing it back, but I dunno when. First he's working on converting the RPG Integration hack to vB 3.5.0, with some improvements.

What he said, apart from the fact that its Revan not Raven :P
I have it scheduled for v4, so I will work on it when I have established and released vB3.5.0 compatability.

In the meantime, I take suggestions for it.
Summons are gonna cost PP to summon, and act as a "2nd character" (FFX style).

So, basicly it's gonna be the same Summon system like the RPG BS has, but beter coded, right?

Yeah.
For one it won't be scattered in 10 files, secondly it will not add any extra MySQL queries (as Im going to cache the summons list as I have with Ibots, Classes etc).

Cool, it's coming back. I remember it started working finally and then the whole HHN catastrophe took place. :( So yeah... I also remember that you couldn't use your summon during monster battles, only during PvP battles. Is there anyway that you could change that, Revan?

Of course, pretty ghey to only have it available for PvP :P

Woot! Yeah, I wish I understood the first thing about coding or scripting or whatever it is so I could help, or at least not sound like an idiot. XP

It's called PHP coding, lol.
Not really that hard to get into, in one year I went from nub to..well what level of skill I have today.

And how exactly did you learn how do that all that stuff? Or where?

I learned it by converting the RPG Integration Hack from wBB to vB3.
By then, I had basic knowledge of PHP with MySQL and vB, and from there it was just keep working on new features/improvements and learning new tricks to optimise the code.
Im a perfectionist, so Im compelled to optimise as much as I can, and learn new ways to optimise as I go along.
