The ultimate RPG Hack(including battle)

[Travis641]

Why exactly are you guys complaining that he's releasing this for free? I mean people complain when it's not free, and when it IS free. It's is not hurting you if he releases it for free, is it? If you don't like it, don't install it. No one is holding a gun to your head. It IS his choice, if he wants to release it for free, or not. Why complain about either decision?

But like the old saying goes: "Do not look a gift horse in the mouth".

Actually no. My battle system (which was up, now taken down for upgrades) consisted of the following:

~ Character/job classes with individual stats like attack, defense, evade, agility, and more.
~ Leveling system by EXP. EXP is earned by damage.
~ Leveling boosts character's status. There are 5 classes and from there, they each can go onto 2 more characters which are higher and more powerful then the original class character.
~ Calculations of damage from items (attack, agility), character (level, attack, agility), enemy's armor (defense, evade, agility), enemy's character (defense, evade, agility, level) and random effects (critical hits, misses).
~ Magic system with over 500 skills. All of which must be learned by using TP (Tactical Points) which is earned randomly within battle.
~ RP (Republic Points), our form of money, given out to the winner of each battle.
~ Fleeing (the person fleeing would lose the battle) feature enabled for players to leave battle.
~ Instant Messenging. You could talk to your opponent within the battle.
~ Battle Ticker. Recent battles would be listed on the forumhome and Battle CP. From there, a link to the battle is provided, in which any user can view the battle in live action.

And I actually don't care whatever happens to this hack. I just don't understand why anyone can take other's ideas and create a hack and get all credit. Also, that wasn't towards anyone, just an overall perception on many things revolving around here.

UBB came out with the flat thread system, then vB improved on it... is that bad?

Mercedes made a car, then Ford mass produced the Model T, allowing others to be able to have one.....is that bad?

[afterlab]

That anology is somewhat off from what i'm trying to point out. Here's a better one:

Mercedes makes a car exclusively for their executive members. Then Lexus makes a car that works and looks the same as the high-class Mercedes. Sure, i'd want the newer Lexus, because i'm a consumer. As a producer, like Mercedes, having something that many consumers didn't know about be made by another company then released under their name isn't so nice.

Afterlab, yeah I agree with your anology.

But can I debate about that a bit? (Believe me, I m speaking as devil's adovcate on that and I AM not offending you, anyone or anything like that, so PLEASE dont take it offense... I like your forum and excellent job at code up these such nice hacks!)

Some of these features like battle system, conception of HP, MP, STR, some more are original ideas & works by Final Fantasy, Squaresoft and yet some coders, hackers, or leechers have dare to say "it is my codes, (edit or copy) graphic or ideas, dont steal it or add me as author/credit of that codes or I ll do something!" something like that. I m speaking for anyone who use these ideas and codes that coders made, did they EVER contact Squaresoft to ask their permission to use their ideas/graphics/system for any kind of websites, forums, programs, activities, nor games? I guarantee that NO one ever try since they know what Squaresoft will do to them if they feel like to do that but offically Squaresoft aint care or they ever will since they made billions and billions of $$$ from that, boy we re fortunately that they didnt even try to lift their small pinkie finger to sue us for using their graphic works or ideas.

There are different kind of rpg making programs such as RPG Maker 2000, they stole lots, lots of Squaresoft's graphic works, ideas, battle system, and more also many websites or forums stole much more than rpg making community does. So who is the original maker and maker's ideas for these excellent features? Squaresoft do and always will, so no one have right to say that they re original author as long as Squaresoft still have that copyrighted images, ideas, system, and more. They still make more games for us to play or [cough]steal their ideas, graphics, nor system as usual[/cough]

So it aint matter who code it up or not, as long as they cannot claim that it is their idea or their copyright since Squaresoft is the who own these copyrights before even Web Creator, Tim Berner-Lee invent the World Wide Web.

But again, I agree with afterlab's anology, I just merely speaking as devil's adovcate and we have to be careful what we talk about "ideas" cuz at least 60 percent of these ideas that we re using at our forums, sites, games, and more are copyright by these companies. I m not surprise if someday these companies have enough of us and send wolves to get over with us. (that is a major reason I graduated as 3D artist so that images are my copyright to protect my ass before that happen.)

BTW, afterlab your site/forum look so amazed and excellent. Fabulous job with map feature!

zajako, I hope that ya re still keep your plan to finish this hack cuz I d like to see how your forum look like whenever ya finish with it. =)

My battle works off of a new age longer lasting breath system. So basically you click a button and then damage is given and exp is given. You see?

I will post the code now.

PHP Code:

if ($_POST[attack]<0) {
  echo "You Dead";
} else {
  echo "You got hit for $_POST[attack]";
} 


its so easy

[Chris M]

Sounds good
