OfflineDAoC 0.34 and 0.34b are now out on Github. Have you tried the new Hibernian class Sluaghbinder?
0.34 and 0.34b are now out on the Github https://github.com/shadowofze/OfflineDAoC/
What is Offline DAOC?
It's a single-player Dark Age of Camelot (Classic + Shrouded Isles, 1.65 rules) that runs entirely on your own PC. It's built on the open sourced OpenDAoC and former Atlas server client, but the world is filled with bots that actually play the game. They level up, form groups, buy and sell on the Realm Exchange, run dungeons, do epic raids and dragons, and go out to RvR and siege keeps. You can run a few hundred of them or a few thousand. You can also recruit companion bots to group with you if you don't want to solo. The launcher includes tons of features that customize the experience how you want it.
0.34 vs 0.34b
0.34 has the original Classic and Shrouded Isles classes only, for players who want a vanilla experience. 0.34b adds the Sluaghbinder as a playable class for you and the gamebots. Everything else is the same in both versions.
What's the Sluaghbinder?
It's a custom Hibernian class that is heavily inspired by Death Knight in World of Warcraft or Shadow Knight in Everquest. Hibernia was the only realm that did not have an undead summoning archetype and it seemed most fitting.
Known Issue: The lv 30 quest from the trainer in Tir Na Nog (she is near the chamber of stealth off the main road in some grass. Black armored female firbolg). The lv 30 quest sends you to Vale of Balor but the quest mob is actually inside Callite Garren. I have to update the quest dialogue and add markers in the future.
Still a work in progress
This is very much a hobby project, and all the code was written with AI tools (Codex and Claude) while I tested and steered it. Expect bugs. Bots still do dumb things sometimes, like walking right into aggro or taking weird routes. Darkness Falls raids aren't done yet, and there's plenty more on my list. If you try it, back up your save before updating, and let me know what breaks or what you'd like to see.
Open source
All the code is on GitHub, the server, bot AI, launcher and tools. You're free to fork it, change it or build your own version. You don't need to ask. If you make something cool with it that is awesome to see.
What class would you be most interested in seeing next? (Poll) https://strawpoll.com/eJnvVO2W9nv
Midgard
- Wyrmwarden. A serpent-cult pet class that bonds a single wyrm, which grows with you from a hatchling into a full lindworm. It can coil enemies in place and stack venom that you can burst. It's a control pet class, good at holding targets in RvR and tough enough to solo.
- Volva. A seidr witch who weaves fate. She foretells a groupmate's death and turns the killing blow aside, marks enemies with doom so they take more damage, and reads the battle to speed up allies.
- Stormcaller. A sea-raider weather mage who calls wind, sleet and lightning. Gusts knock enemies back, freezing rain slows a whole area, and a storm builds up over a fight for a big finish.
- Dvergr Smith. A dwarf-taught forge priest who works in the middle of a fight. They hammer temporary enchantments onto group mates weapons and armor, and set down runed anvils that buff or burn anyone nearby.
Albion
- Inquisitor. The Church's witch hunter: a chain-wearing crossbow and melee hybrid built to shut down casters. It can brand targets so their own spells burn them, strip buffs and land short silences.
- Puppetmaster. Starts as a Scribe and becomes a Puppetmaster at level 5. You get a plain puppet that you dress in any armor and weapons you want, then teach it up to 8 spells or abilities. Mix and match to build a tank, healer, caster or anything in between, a bit like the Animated Guardian in Path of Exile.
- Herald. A knight of the Round Table's tradition who fights under a banner. They plant standards that buff the whole group, call challenges that force enemies to fight them, and rally fallen allies back to their feet.
- Stonewarden. A keeper of the old standing stones from before the Church came to Albion. They raise small stone circles that heal, ward or punish anyone inside, so where you fight matters.
- Alchemist. A scholar from Avalon who brews in the field: thrown flasks of fire and acid, healing tonics for the group, and a few dangerous mixtures that can go wrong.
