Zero Tolerance's RPG or Gamasoftware's RPG?

[Rein Masamuri]

ZT's is really slow, the background graphics are ugly. I'm not too impressed really.
Gama's is fast as fook, I like the new graphics, its CSS driven, its all nice ^_^

[zajako]

umm its not fully css driven yet 1.5 final will be.

I have looked into these both briefly, and have found the following so far.

ZT's doesn't seem to have a world that you can navigate around in. COrrect me if I'm wrong..

Gama's seems pretty cool but the navigation is too repetitive with the same image loading over and over.

Is there a good text based RPG out there that could be integrated with VB? I have to say text based all the way is the way to go.

[zajako]

you can change the images, i havnt gotten around to totaly decking out the default install values yet.

I have Zero Tolerance's RPG and Gamasoftware's RPG.And test on localhost.
if Gamasoftware's RPG I thinks it very cool.Because we can add code on magic,item...and system place is very cool.
But this game haven't summon system,limit,and magic....
on RPG Inferno v1 I look some code very cool..all system active but some system need bug fix.

I've just paid for both ZT's Inferno RPG, and GamaSoftware's RCS system.

My impression so far:

1) ZT's Inferno RPG - $40 for owned license - paid using Paypal, no referral to immediate download area, still waiting for someone to contact me regarding download.

Can't comment on it yet - still waiting...

2) GamaSoftware's RCS RPG - $50 for 1 year only - paid using Paypal, download available immediately but buggy - conflicting cookies on their download page between their member's area and the forum.

In the end, I managed to download the RCS zip, but got weird ZIP extraction password errors, which I bypassed using drag-and-drop in Explorer.

Regarding RCS1.5 - basically I find it interesting and quite powerful, but because it is not well integrated (well, the only integration is that it uses the vB userbase) with vBulletin, I don't think I will be using it. If you want a stand-alone game system that you can customize, the RCS1.5 system is good. If you want integration with vB3 - then this is not what you are looking for. At least, that's my impression so far.

Will post here once I get ZT's RPG system...

Sounds interesting

I certainly like the feel of the gammasoftware system, but I haven't played with the other one yet

I've been monitoring the gammasoftware developement for quite a while - There are some dissapointing elements, but they are mostly to do with unclear instructions, and also a buggy design - I keep getting page errors :/

I'm still having trouble downloading ZT's RPG system - he's telling me that an automated email should have been sent, but there's been nothing.

Finally got it after some PM exchanges on his site. Shall update you on what I think.

nice, Erwin.
I've used ZT so far and feel it's very good.
everything seems to be very ok just without the big world (ZT said later version will have it).
it is easy to use, easy to administrate but actually the admin still isn't be able to manage all things. version 2 would have more good features like spells. RPG inferno isn't fully integrated with vb3 yet since it only uses the posting function to let users get money. the second thing I don't like in RPG Inferno is that ZT wrote all the RPG actions in just one ~400KB php script, the whole RPG Inferno only remains in 2 main files: one for admin and one for users, this should be avoided.
I like job of RPG Inferno, it is based on the earliest RPG hack for IP I think since I've used IP for a period of time. It lets me to have about 100 jobs with different level requirements like class of a job 1 requires lvl 1, class the same job 2 requires lvl 20, and so on, the summon, tourament, auction,... sections also look cool, RPG Inferno also has a store.
Generally and personally, I regard RPG Inferno as the best RPG hack available, and it will probally abstract more webmaster when new version comes out ^^.
