AI System- Legal Bot



A character using AI Bot System for Lvling

This is a legal bot that allows players to train the characters when he/she is away from the computer. Without worrying the leveling problem, you can now use their free time to enjoy other exciting features like Timespace Quest, HY Heroes Q&A, SC War, SS War, Castle War, Guild Quest (Imperial Quest), Daily Social Quest, Plot Quest, The Black List etc:


Huang Yi Heroes: Interesting & Rewarding Q&A Session.

TS 20: Party to defeat Hidden Boss, Phoenix

Some guild members prepare to take down the Castle in war.

However, it’s only applicable upon lvl 25. And you won’t get lvling fast with AI system merely. Because there are certain quests or event which you have to do it manually, without using AI. Those gaming features reward EXP pills, WP pills, potions, inlay stones and etc...

So, as whole AI just lighten your burden of grinding leveling job, but not replacing your gaming fun. ^^

Please take note that AI is not an easy system just like the irritatingly illegal bot. You’ve to literally experience it, test it and modify it according to your level, HP, SP, MP, skill, potion used, your map etc in order to optimize the system. Otherwise, you might get killed by the mobs easily by using AI.

The good thing is, MMORPG are full of bots nowadays, with Ai system around, those bots are nothing to this game! So you can enjoy a free-bot game environment in SD Online.

Access AI System: ALT+s > Basic Command AI System

Remember, you must activate the autobot Ai system before you can really use it. (Must be level 25 & above)

1: Trigger the quest from Madriage robot, somewhere near the Time Machine in Yang Zhou City.

Madriage

2: Get this Chaos Stone all over the Yu H. County map and send back to Madriage in Yang Zhou City beside the Time Machine.

Chaos Stone all over Yu H. County Map

3: You will obtain the AI Controller and 10 AI Chips. Take note that one AI Chip can last for 24 hours. You will need to purchase it for 1000 gold from Madriage if you have used up all the chips.

Buy the AI Wafer from Madriage

4: Double click the AI Chips to use. A time indicator can be viewed on the top left of the AI interface.

Time Indicator

5: Do you individual Ai Setting as below and voila, it's done. You can go out while have your character leveling! ^^

AI INTERFACES:

SKILL page, you manage your attacking skill here to optimize your hitting result.

CONDITION page, you manage your passive skills here to enhance your personal attributes.

Time Space Quest (TS Niche)

Another popular game feature in SD Online is Timespace (Niche) quest. For this quest, players must form a team in order to enter this once-a-day quest. However, i was told that the party is advisable to be formed from members with different jobs, so that they can back up on each other in get ridding the obstacles in the quest. Taoist can heal someone in danger, Buddhist can buff members to make the team stronger, Demonic can poison the enemy. If the team with such combinations cooperate well, they should be able to handle any danger under any cirucmstances.

This is probably the highlight of this game. Since SD Online has a robot AI System which allows players to bot legally with all necessary settings while he/she is away, this is one of the excited moments player must experience it manually.


A screenshot where a party trying to defeat the hidden boss (phoenix) of Ts Quest.

There will be new TS quest for every 10 level. The current available TS Quests are TS10-TS150. Every TS has a story to tell. For example TS 10, you will be told to rescue a gal kidnapped by evil force. TS 20, you must break through the ambushes and also defeat evil leader behind a complot. TS 30, you will need to escort a NPC and ensure his safety by keep healing him and protect him from the assault of the enemies. It's funny and challenging. You will like it, i promise! xD

Certainly, there are some rewards for the TS quest. Players can get higher EXP & WP value inside TS map. EXP & WP are shared equally inside TS quest. Everyone will get the same amount, despite of who is the hitter. So, just focus on what you are good in. If you're Taoist, you may focus on healing, not to worry losing the chance to get higher EXP & WP.

Apart from that, whenever we enter the TS quest. We will get the TS series equipment when we defeated the Boss.

For TS 10, we will get one of these equipment each time they defeated the boss:
Dragon Suit, Dragon Cloak, Dragon Wrister, Dragon Shoes, Dragon Casque OR even better if you're lucky, you will get the REAL series battle suit randomly where it grants you better attribute effect: Real Dragon Suit, Real Dragon Cloak, Real Dragon Wrister, Real Dragon Shoes, Real Dragon Casque...

Here is the challenging TS 20 you won't want to miss. ^^

Here are some really useful hints:

If you think you're strong enough, go in TS with less members. All members share higher EXP & WP if the party has fewer members.

How about playing solo? TS Quest is a party quest. However, if you think you're capable to handle it all by yourself, you may try the solo game. Here's the trick, login 2 characters simultaneously, form party between 2 characters, choose one to stay online and another to go offline. The online character can go any TS now as long as it fulfills the requirement of repute and level restriction because he/she is in a party now although another member is in offline status. With such situation, you can go in and get all the EXP/WP all by yourself, without sharing with others. There are pros and cons for this, the good thing is you get a really, i mean really really high EXP/WP where you can boost your level rapidly. The bad thing is you'll have to spend much time in this quest compared with going in a party, and also dealing with the danger alone, and you might fail this quest as well, and lastly, you might lose the fun in battling together with friends.

Tips: Locating NPC

Here's some tips to make everyone easier in the game. I've met many people in game who do not utilize this thing properly. They tend to neglect this information always. What they do were ask and ask and ask, spamming the public channel with lots of questions.No offend, just trying to point out the situation there. =P

First of all, the Quest Interface.
Sometimes, when you wanna do a quest, you find it hard to locate the NPC?
Or maybe you've done the quest but forgot where the NPC is?
Or even worst, you forgot who was the NPC!!?In this situation, this tip could be really helpful! xD


Click this Quest Icon or simply press alt+Q to access to Quest Interface.


Then you'll see a Quest Interface like this. Can you see a red arrow on the top right? Click that button.


Then you'll see something like this. Quests are put in different categories here including Sub, Main, TS, Party, Social, Event, Stage and Emperor. Just click the tab you want, and look for the quest you want.


After that, press on the quest and you'll be the detail of the quest including the location of the NPC that you probably finding hard to locate.


Briefly: Alt+Q > Red Arrow > Quest Types > Quest Name > Mouse Over to see the NPC and the coordinates


Same thing goes to the Skill Interface.
When you wanna learn a skill, you find it hard to locate the Wushu NPC?
Or maybe you just want to upgrade the skill but forgot where the NPC is?
Or even worst, you forgot who was the Wushu NPC?
Similarly, this tip could be very helpful for you! xD


Click this Skill Icon or simply press alt+S to access to Quest Interface
.

Then you'll see a Skill Interface like this. Can you see a red arrow on the top right? Click that button.


Then you'll see something like this. There're Notable KungFu List (weapon skill), job skills (Taoist or Demonic or Buddhist) and the common skill. Click on any skill tab you like to find the skill you want.


For example this Bluish Sword Art. Mouse over and you'll see all the detail including the Wushu NPC to learn the skill, the Legacy. Also, you can see the coordinates of the NPC locate. ^^


Another example, a skill under Common skill category. Universe Gather, this is a skill you can't learn from NPC. You can see this obviously from the detail page. It's written on there, "Learned from: Secret Manual". For this, you need to get the Secret Manual dropped from the mobs, some sort of bounty after you defeated the mobs.

Briefly: Alt+S > Red Arrow > Select Skill > Mouse over to view detail

She was away I think. Her character flied back the City automatically when it's out of potions, all these settings can be manipulated by the AI System of the game (Legal Botting).

Yellow glowing on her hands indicates that she has double charged her physical skill that grants more attack damage to the enemies.

Chinese Paladin Online

Few days ago, i came accross Chinese Paladin Online Fan's Blog. I found it interesting and decided to write a post about it.



First of all, it's a Chinese Online MMORPG. The content is all in Chinese, but those who don't know Chinese, you all can still have a brief look here. ^^

Also, I found the English summary of Chinese Paladin Online from somewhere in the internet:

Sixteen years ago, descendant of Nüwa Goddess, Zhao LingEr resolved the centurial impasse and war between Dali races with her gifted celestial force. Then, she sacrificed herself for the sake of peace by vanquishing evil monsters and overthrowing malicious complot of heinous Cult which happened to be the idolized religion of the people. What she left behind was her beloved one, Li XiaoYao who survived in the battle but tortured with yearnings for the rest of his life…



Four passionate people from different worlds brought together by the fate of love. The great love of LingEr saved the land, the flamy love of YueRu rescued her beloved ones, the faithful love of AhNu kept their friendships eternally and the grievous yearnings of XiaoYao ended their journey. Seemingly, they were confined within a Déjà vu that destined to taste the love & hatred of the nature. Ironically, this touching myth had then circulated on the land…



Today, atrocious monsters reveal themselves on the peaceful land again. Is this the premonition of another myth? What will happen between goods and evils? People can never predict the front path, just like we will never know what the future may be…

Meanwhile, main influences of world have begun to change. Government of Middleland has corrupted, the Court has lost faith from the people and bribes of bureaucracy are everywhere. As consequences, robbers and villains rebels, robs and kills, making the wicked doings of all. Without the strength to fight, innocent civilians suffer in extreme misery. Chaos can be seen everywhere and six realms have now started to change after a long time of peace, union and tranquility.

One year ago, chivalrous heroes attempted to fight against the evils. Massacres of evils and goods were everywhere and evils were said to be vanquished eventually after a bloodcurdling battle. Under such circumstances of turmoil, the descendant of Satan was rumored to reborn again…

In this crucial moment, Li XiaoYao, the most prestigious leader of martial world as well as the holder of Celestial Sword Sect disappeared from the world. As a descendant of Li XiaoYao and Nüwa Goddess, Li YiRu ran away from home to look for his father. She met a young man who will change her life forever…


Who will be the destined savior? Is this the old grudge of preexistence? Certainly, someone as young as them will never give a thought about this. But the bitterness and obstacles are approaching them gradually, getting nearer now…

Chinese Paladin [仙劍奇俠傳(transliteration:Xian Jian Qi Xia Zhuan)] also known as The Legend of Sword & Fairy has been popular since the early 90's. I used to get myself obsessed with the DOS offline version when i was small. It was a massively big hit in game industry at that time. Today, I would like to share this childhood memories with all of you.

Below are the in-game characters' portraits from different generations of Chinese Paladin.

CP DOS Version


CP 2


CP3


CP4

CP: The Inn


CP Love Version


Latest CP Online


Complete CP Generations of Characters' Portrait

The version I played is the DOS version, I forgot what is the exact year back then but I'm pretty sure I was attending primary school at that time.

After viewing CPO blog I mentioned above, I attempted to search for different versions of Chinese Paladin in the internet, trying to re-play the game, an action of reminiscence. (I liked it a lot!) But what i found is just the DOS version of the game and the funniest thing (at least I didn't expect this and really think that's funny *_*'') is that the size of of the game installer is extremely small! Just 14.125MB! Imagine, a game that used to be my idolized fun is so small in size. ><''

I forgot where I downloaded the game, so I uploaded it to another file hosting website so that you all can share with me. (Don't worry, NO VIRUS THERE)

Click HERE if you want to download the game. Of course, please take note that the graphic is very bad if compared with the latest offline games. But the selling point of Chinese Paladin always tends to be the Storyline instead of the game-play itself. Of course, in my childhood time, this game was considered best-play game or something and won many awards throughout Chinese countries all around the world. Impressive, right? xD

I've captured some in-game screenshots of the DOS version. Feel free to take a look:


Attribute Interface of Main Characters


Dialogue between Li Xiao Yao & his famous Aunty








These screenshots are about Li XiaoYao, trying hard to look for his wife , Zhao LingEr that happened to be the descendant of NuWa (Chinese Goddess that creates human) in a monster's dungeon. The girl here is Ling YueRu, the one who loves Li XiaoYao so much until she sacrifices herself to rescue Li & Zhao in the middle of the story...

Last but not least, thanks CPO BLOG for bringing up my sweet memories...
