Game Engine

Modular and Extensible Design

The engine is designed with modularity in mind, allowing developers to easily add new features or modify existing ones. Each component (e.g., combat, trading, quests) is encapsulated in its own package, making the codebase clean and maintainable.

High-Performance Networking

The engine uses a custom packet system for client-server communication, ensuring low-latency and efficient data transfer. The ChannelHandler class manages network connections, while OutgoingPacket and related classes handle packet construction and sending.

Robust Database Integration

Sevador supports MySQL for persistent storage, with a connection pooling system (ConnectionPool) to optimize database performance. The DatabaseConnection and MySQLDatabaseConnection classes provide a flexible interface for database operations.

Advanced Combat System

The combat system is one of the engine's standout features, supporting multiple combat styles (melee, magic, ranged) and special attacks. The CombatAction class handles damage calculation, animations, and combat mechanics, providing a seamless and engaging combat experience.

Customizable Quests

The quest system is highly customizable, allowing developers to create unique quests with progress tracking, rewards, and completion conditions. The Quest class and its subclasses (e.g., CooksAssistant) provide a framework for implementing quest logic.

Player-Friendly Features

• Grand Exchange: A fully functional trading system for buying and selling items.
• Teleportation: Supports various teleportation methods with customizable animations and graphics.
• Player Commands: A wide range of commands for server management, debugging, and player interaction.
