Only add this family system if you have spare time, to me it doesn't really sound like a system which would need a script regulation badly.

I was merely tossing the idea out there when I mentioned it in this thread, haven't really given it much of a thought. :)

I agree, it's definitely not something we'll work on anytime soon, but alas it might be added later on.

Says the guy who said he'd help then bailed after a day or two without a word. x_x

yea, i made a sketch :p

You say it like it's something to be proud of; letting people believe in you and your promises, then you spit them in the face and walk away the next day. :\

I don't have time to deal with that kinda bull****, I'm trying my best to get a working and as lag free as possible playerworld running, without slacking with quality. So please, stay away from us unless you can be dedicated for more then a few minutes.

nah, i just want to help people to believe in themselves ;)

I consume a tasty salad of drama while quasi-excitedly waiting for this server to be playable.

Well, good job then, you fail horribly. If anything you left us in despair until we were able to get the manpower back.

you shouldnt rely on just 1 person :p
i told you that

I wasn't relying on one person, I as relying on someone I thought was my friend. And guess what, friends don't lie to each other.

how did i lie? ^^ we shouldnt be talking about things like this here

I would think the only/main person who should care about this thread being thrown off-topic is him.

Saying you'll help create something and then bailing is lying last time I checked.

As long as we keep it related to the playerworld, and don't turn things into a drama fest, I don't see how it's not related.

Wrong Ziro, punk! ^^

Ziro (other Ziro!): I agree you can't rely on one person, you may be horribly let down.

Closing the server for roughly 24 hours to implement character stats (I need sleep before doing it...).

Contact me if you need some more testing help/small graphical things

Server reopened. Sorry for the delay, had some major lack of time, and a bit of slacking, before I was able to implement things.

I've made my own rule system based on AD&D edition 2, with a couple of major tweaks by myself. Only the bases have actually been added at this point, but the way I scripted it makes it **** easy to add more stuff.

Anyways, logon and check it out - feedback is always nice. :)


Oh and also, note that while we're under development, your character(s) will probably be deleted quite frequently due to adding some more stuff to character creation etc.

Next on agenda: finishing AND releasing the combat system, now that the stat system is finally done! *cheers*

I see good things in Mythic's future :)

Me 2

Today, Friday the 6th, I will release the combat system. There's only one little problem though - we want to test it in groups of 3 players or more against each other, but, we lack the man power!

So please, if you can aid us, log on the server and stay for as long as you can, and hopefully that'll give us the player count we need to debug it.

i wanna play!

A very fun system lol.

The combat system is really awesome ^^
other than the one little positioning bug i noticed at the first duel, it seems almost perfect to me :D
now work more on the content and u have urself an awesome server with the most original(working) combat system in the history of graal :P

:D

I am releasing a beta of the combat system. Right now it deals random damage between 0 and 9 whenever you attack, when I get back in a couple of hours I will implement the damage formula, THAC0 and AC.

Please, try it out, and post your suggestions etc. If you find a bug, please post about it, would be great if you could explain how it occurs.


To duel someone, say:

/duel <charactername>

For example "/duel Ziro". You have to wait for the other player to accept the duel, but if it isn't accepted within 60 seconds, it will time out and cancel the duel request.

I'd like to see age of conan-like PVP which includes guilds building cities, castles, ship battles, and player owned houses, and sieges! :D

No feedback yet, you guys make me wanna cry. :cry:

This obviously means that the system is flawless. A stunning feat worthy of attention. Make sure not to implode too many programmers' minds due to extreme levels of perfect mathematical beauty.

I got on and you wouldn't answer me so I logged off, ziro. :(

A lot of the time, scripters are scripting and don't look at the little PM icon in the bottom-right of the screen. I sure don't :(

Heh, I think I've given my fair amount of input and debugging :P

Well, I was idling for a while right after you initially mentioned something about releasing the combat system. Then I left and never come back. I was so looking forward to trying this too. Bad timing on my part I guess.



Sorry.

90% of the time that I don't reply, I'm either AFK, playing a game, watching a movie or even sleeping.

I laugh my ass off every time something like this happens. :D




And... I still haven't gotten around to implementing proper damage formula etc, been **** busy. Will work on that, as well as something cheesy that I won't reveal just yet ;)

THE VICTORY THEME!

You know which one I mean.

Implemented THAC0 and AC and whatever effects it have on combat, as well as the famous Critical Hit/Miss system (AD&D <3).

However, damage formula isn't fully completed, still think about how to do that one. It'll be based on AD&D edition 2, but I also want to add my own twist too it. Tough job indeed...

Now, if only I could get the rest of the staff required to make this server a success... :cry:


Aye, it would be nice, but I think that's copyrighted.

Why don't you just copy an existing system straight off? It saves a lot of trouble and it's probably already tested for balance.

That shouldn't be a problem unless it's obvious that used their material. Tetris clones aren't copyright violations.

This is Graal; it would fit nicely.

Why take someone else's work when making your own is so much more satisfying?


We're talking about THE victory theme here. Quite sure it's obvious it's a rip off. x_x

Because it really helps to have clear documentation. Before writing a system, it's useful to know exactly what's expected of it. When documentation exists, the programmer can read about the general idea as well as any atypical uses it will be required to face. It prevents unnecessary refactorings later on.

If he's going for cheesey I'd bet on like buster swords and the like.

I think you've missed the point of me trying to make a Final Fantasy wannabe fighting system combined with AD&D rules. In AD&D, characters have up to 170ish max health at higher levels, while in most Final Fantasy's it go up to 9999. Tweaking is bound to happen.

There's a freely available ruleset based on the Final Fantasy series which isn't afraid of large numbers like AD&D is.
