Hey everyone, I usually don’t comment on internal changes, but this time, I feel like I have to speak up. Besides being a modder, I’m also a professional web developer, and honestly, I’m quite disappointed with this design overhaul. The choice of an ultra-minimalist design (following the "trend"), primarily focused on mobile at the expense of desktop usability, seems like a huge mistake. Modding is, above all, a world of "tinkerers," and a tinkerer will always prefer a functional, clear, and distinct interface over one that is overly spacious, where everything looks the same and finding what you need becomes a hassle. I see that many people already share the same opinion, so I won’t go over the full list of issues again. But for now, it would really make sense to revert to the previous design, which was highly functional and met the community’s needs perfectly. Why try to "improve" something that was already working well? The site now feels cold and impersonal, which is a real shame for a platform that thrives thanks to us, the community. Even if the staff has indicated they won’t consider our feedback, it’s still worth trying. It’s never too late to rethink a decision. Thanks for reading.

Hi, A similar topic was created several months ago. I think it is achievable if you have the necessary animations to make it look like a real melee weapons duel. For my part, I do not have the necessary time or motivation to get into such a project.

That's something I could try to do after Magic Duel: Reborn, but actually, I'm not able to create the animations for the duels so i will need help on this part of work.

Noted. Thank's for the advice. :) I will contact Enaisiaion if my request on this topic fail.

http://i46.servimg.com/u/f46/17/66/22/20/magicd10.png Hello everyone, I am Seb263, author of the Magic Duel mod, I don't often spend time on forums. I am currently working on a total reconstruction of Magic Duel. The project has been started again from scratch so that I could avoid or fix bugs encountered in the first version of the mod. Apart from numerous corrections, I have added new functions to the mod: a mana system for the player and enemy, an "overdrive" (rage) gauge which allows the caster to temporarily double the strength of his spell for the duration of the gauge, a system of finishing moves at the end of the duel if certain conditions are met, the possiblity to start a duel in the first person and switch between third and first at will during the duel... To be able to release this project correctly, I need motivated partners to conduct some minute tests or/and to find ideas to improve formulas that I have in place. I am thus looking for someone capable of creating new effects for the spells during the duel. If you look at this image, you'll notice a not very detailed ice beam on the left. This is a vanilla spell that has been lightly modified. The workload would consist of creating a new effect of a "beam" type for a more aesthetic result. 6 effects need to be created: a fire beam (a light and 'massive' version), an ice beam (light and 'massive'), and a drain beam (light and 'massive'). The vanilla lightning spell comes out looking rather well during duels and thus needs no modifications. On that note, if anyone wishes to participate in future beta tests, I invite you to contact me. Here is a teaser showing what the mod looks like in its current stage: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tFKbvI8TwT8
