The ultimate RPG Hack(including battle)

[afterlab]

And you're releasing this? Well whatever, it's your version of it. Just don't expect me to use it.

Err.

i dont see why anyone in their right mind would release something this big for free. but hey its your hack.

[zajako]

I would relese something this big, because, it does not hurt me to share something after ts made, and not ot mention, I do this for all the memebers out there. I hold the memebers on my board above me, so I hold members of other boards high to.

typical. I knew that would be brought up in this post by somebody...

Nice ideas Zajako but there is nothing special about creating 100 fields and 2 new tables, its the coding which will take the most effort to achieve successfully.

lol, as long as you can release a separate version of just the battle hack, i'll be more than ahppy. All the HP/MP and stuff I can make by myself but the battle hack i will be HELLA excited.

...? Weren't you working on this project anyway? I recalled Afterlab over at FFRepublic was also, but all his battle hack consists of is an icon showing two swords clashing together.

When I was taking AP Comp Science this year in my highschool class, I made this Final Fantasy program that ran pretty well. At first I started big and had a materia system and what not in the program, but then I figured it was getting to complicated and I couldn't figure out how to make it all come together anyway, so I reduced the battlesystem. I made a very simple but cool system.

Even the most simplest battle hack would be cool to have, that would simply contain these important variables:

1. Enter battle by clicking on icon or text in a members postbit.
2. The damage you inflict will depend on your level.
3. When you attack, another persons HP will lower (duh).
4. Some form of battle cap, not allowing a level 20 person to fight a level 3 person (this would probably be most hardest to code...but then again, not really)
5. When a user runs/escapes/is defeated from battle any other way (ie. closes their browser window) they get gold deducted and the winner recieves gold and exp.
6. Both members have to be online, ofcourse, and have to be free.

That seems about it, and the hacks this already consists of are:

Yet another stats level hack by knoman, although only using HP for battle. The Level, which determines the amount of damage a user inflicts.
shinra online point system, this is needed for the points/gold/gp or whatever you want to call it recieved from battle.

These components can really be used to make the most simplest battle hack, but working. And after you create this and get used to it you can always add others. I laugh though to see in post #1 that he has like 20 fields (actually to quote him, he said 100 fields). Talk about starting big, but to implement all those in a hack never been done before is gonna be no easy task.

*sigh*

Velocd, thanks for post that link

[Velocd]

Lets not start another one of these threads again, discussion on the hack and development itself would be nice for a change

Err.

I know how you feel, I also run a similar site, just somewhat different.

You want to bet? Go make your site extremly unique. Fill it with features beyond your imagination. Then a few weeks later watch everybody else have it also....

I guess you could use templates as an example. Get yourself a really, extremlly good looking template and then release it. If you don't want to release it, why not get somebody else to release it and get the credit for it?

Doesn't hurt right?
