ok i got some good news and bad news, for those anxious to see the shops and villages system, you gotta wait... thats the bad, the good news is i axidentaly got cought up on the battle system when working on the village system

and its looking good

zajako · #42 11-07-2002, 10:01 AM

here is a screenshot fo the battle system, but it is not functional yet, it just runs the template, and i filled in some falseified variables instead of grabbing from the db so i can show you how its supposed to look, i will be working on making it grab the info from the db next. But this is the look of the arena battles, and how it will operate is fully explained by this picture. I hope you guys liek the way it looks and appears to run..

Also i credit FFX for the bg image that i slightly modified.

also i want to add in yes i know the characters are a bit small for the page, thats why i am making it so you can add character images. I plan to find some larger sprites or something better.

If you have some full body characters that are about 200 px tall and have them for at least both elven and human and one for each class in the class editor screenshot then let me know and i will credit you and put them in the first install

OMG!!!! I did not realise you was going this far with the hack, i though it was going to be a simple and basic battle hack - not a whole RPG!!!

*I bow down to your mightyness*

do, this whole village and (i'm guessing) world map thing, will that include things like random encounters, etc..? and will you still be able to battle other members on the forum?

zajako · #45 11-07-2002, 11:08 AM

random encounters will not be on the first release :/ im aiming at version 2 for that.
you will be able to fight other people most definately.

As for a world map, what i plan to do is make it so you can travel from city to city, but it never really shows a real world map, unless maybe i make an itme you can buy called world map, which shows a map of the world, however right now what will it will do is let you map it out yourself cause in each village you can go north to another location south to another location east and west to different locations. Arenas are locations themselves and usualy would be one of the 4 directions. This current arena you see in the screen shot i forgot to fill in the variable for arenat name, but its default arena for teh city called Default city

And its north of default city. There will be loctions that you can battle at other than arenas, and they are usualy between villages. Most of the villages i have so far image wise are from ff games but these too will be custimizable from teh admin panel.

9th when i said this is my rpg hack i meant rpg not rpg battle

thats why its going to take so long, and why it appears i will need a new admin panel. But don't worry it will be just liek the vb admin panel and linked from it. I also plan to make a seerate header template for it to show the rpg commands for the users so that when they are in the rpg sections it grabs the header for them and when they are in the forums sections its shows the forums header. The forums header will have a link to the rpg section as well as the rpg section will have a header link to the forums. It should work out very well. If all else fails i will make a side bar for the rpg sections and just make it a portal type thing,, but im aiming at just a hack not a portal. who knows though...

due to the scale of this are you planning on have any information displayed in the postbit? maybe like the image of the primary char. with some stats, etc...

you are living my dream, i've always wanted to make an RPG

if you need any help with inspration, gimme a shout

Brad · #47 11-07-2002, 11:53 AM

Zak, you have gone where possibly no other hacker on vB has gone before, by making this great rpg system.

I wish you good luck with it

Although I don't have a credit card I will try and donate some money

zajako · #49 11-07-2002, 05:12 PM

*smiles very largely seeing people happy with his work thus far and now knows it is worth it all :]*

God i love this feeling, people telling me im doing good, im sorry but this is the first time i have gotten it from vb.org to this scale,a nd i have been doubting myself. Thanks guys :]

as for post bits, i plan to have no mandatory postbit displays, but i might consider putitng something showing stats of the first character created by that user or something i don know, ill be sure to but some sort of stat there optionaly. definately a wins/losses type thing :]

Plain and simple, this hack will own your soul...Zaj has been working on it nearly as long as I know him, if not longer I believe. Almost a year if I'm not mistaken...
