The Chronicles Of Arkasus Online (WIP)

[Stowen]

This server is looking promising!

[pixelghost]

[php]
// NPC made by *Tricxta
if (playerenters || timeout){
checkWater();
setplayerprop #c,#v(this.check);
if (this.check == 0)setstring this.savePos,#L,#v(playerx),#v(playery);
else {
tokenize #s(this.savePos);
setlevel2 #t(0),strtofloat(#t(1)),strtofloat(#t(2));
}
timeout=0.05;
}

function checkWater(){
this.check = 0;
for (this.i=0;this.i<4;this.i++)this.check+=(onwater(playerx+.5+(this.i%2),playery+1+int(this.i/2)));
}
[/php]

Here’s a base for you, it’d be a good idea to tweak it though, doesn’t look too pretty.

thank you tricxta. sadly, i would not even know what to do with this or tweak it. i think with time (and i hope maybe) when everything is ready, ill hire on some support coders for the server. it seems like its going to be a little more difficult then what i originally imagined. I can do some simple npc work, and some more moderate work. but nothing too complicated sadly. so unless i get a decent coder in the future. the server will be lacking that…spark it needs.

problems i have or will run into:

• spikey floors, and switches to turn them off.
• AI scripts for bosses and simple mob AI as well.
• like above, water scripts and limiting it till you get an item.
• inventory and new GUI scripts for the ones i am designing.
  etc etc

this all comes in time anyways. id rather show people that this will NOT be a dead project first, and then get the staff i need as we work towards certain obstacles. As this server is not just about a personal project. i want to help bring new players, and old players to graal reborn, and so everyone also has something to do as well.

i am also hoping everyone here on the board does in time, want to build a house, or submit a head or something for personal use on the server. and if anyone wants to help in time. are more then welcome to

Have you got aim? Add me if so: [email protected]

I’ll fix you up with alot of requested scripts since most of these take hardly any time to code. It’s when you get into trying to code around the lack of a npc server that things get icky.

hey look at all this gs1. gs1 is good language to start with when learning how to program. it teaches you how to satisfy the compiler rather than logic. i know gscript doesnt have a compiler, but whatever. pixelghost, i would take this opportunity to learn.

thank you hosler, and i have been playing around a lot in the editor and trying new things. and the more i look at scripts, the better understanding i am getting from what they do without even using them. i will probably start messing with some simple stuff, and make a lot of my own things. but for more advance stuff, i will have to gather some help, or at least some people who want to contribute to the server.

[hosler]

learning by example is the best way

[tricxta]

I agree, although you might be learning off the wrong persons code. For example: Alex released alot of aweful code which I have no idea why it even ran. You really need to have a mentor along side you for some of the time, but for the most part looking at someones code, understanding how it works then applying it to a different situation is the best way to learn.

thank you everyone for the support and advice i do appreciate the help very much.

on another update: Our sound department at work, here is just a small sample of the grasslands music. its not finished, but i thought i would show some of the amazing work of Famine.

we will be revamping a lot of the sound, ambiance of the areas you will go into, music, background, effects, etc. my sound team is working very hard. its also for their portfolios as they are composers. friends helping friends. anyways, here is the grasslands test. this may change a lot as it is a work in progress. take a listen!

Sounds great, nice work.

[Spooon]

There was no reason to use a function, Tricxta.

I will have to say I am excited to see this project pan out. This looks to have a lot of potential and could turn out really great. Keep up the good work.

Cave tiles, still being added to, but they are in working condition. for dungeon cave tiles, they will be added to in time.

[Spooon]

Neat.

Fix. Grammar. Please. o_o

[pixelghost]

It looks nice Pixel, but you may want to detail the scales more. (assuming it’s a lizard type thing, sort of like dodongo from the Zelda series.)

i was going for a Chameleon look. and yeah i was going to fix him up. it does not look like this much anymore. i fixed the tail as well. thanks for the suggestion :)[COLOR=“Silver”]

I am assuming you are talking about the cave crawler image. i was just showing the creature. this has nothing to do with the game. but thank you for the suggestion.

[Yenairo_old]

I feel bad for that lizard
it has no neck.
