im interested in how things will turn out for a public release of this hack. As for myself, i crawled the net for this hack for my own rpg board, also for a nice itemshop. I did dl one of them and put it on my board, i also edited the code a little bit to ass level restrictions and class restrictions to it. Also added damage, leech, and that kinda stuff. I also edited some of the status bars and made it all database driven. But after a while of coding, i lost track of all those damn variables and then the admin page wasnt what i wanted it to look like and blablabla. SO, i started to make my own. Im not far, but i got a good solid foundation. My first plan was to make it all thread based. It was going to be for actual role playing threads, where users can have a battle in the middle of a story, but that was to much for a noob like me. So i took it to the next level down, and just wanted it to be turn based having nothing to do with the actual threads. I have made the admin section, its about 50% complete. I have attached a screen shot of what it looks like now. Neo is right about the money thing, people are dieing for this hack, but its not an easy task at all. And when they are done, it is a lot better to have it yours. If released, every board out there would have it, and whats the point to having a board that looks like everyone elses? Maybe i might release a smaller version, i dunno yet, i just want to get done with it.
oh yea, the screen shot is the main admin page for now with just some items in the database to make it have some form too it. I am going for a morrowind type rpg with the enchant effect and the potions. The enchant value is how much magic an item can hold itself. So if you know a spell like double damage, you can enchant your sword with it and kick ass. Also the effects i made so that ingredients can hold values. Effects can be negative as well, but the idea is you can buy ingredients from my shop and 'brew' them in your characters house (after you sign up for the rpg) Each ingredient will have four different effects, if you mix two ingredients, and they both have at least one effect in common, the resulting potions will carry over that effect. In the case you just eat the ingredient, you will just get a random effect of the four, heh. um...this will tie into my battle hack as well. Weapons will include a bunch of sub skills, like long sword, short sword, blunt weapons, bow. You can buy armor for your head, body, feet, arms, and then you can buy shields. Weapons in the case of the heaver ones my take two hands to hold, therefore not allowing the shield, ect.....this hack is huge already, the cp page that you are looking at is almost 1500 lines long, so progress might seem slow but its not, tell me what you think of it so far
