Okay I guess I will post here then. Though I'm wondering if it's okay that we're taking up threads in the official 2k1 forum for an unofficial project...
The slaying thing seems interesting but it would be too easy for the target to disconnect or hide in a safe zone forever or something. It wouldn't work too well if that were the case. Nobody would get any slay points.
As far as progress goes, I've been working daily on graphics still. Nearly finished with the body sprite. (so many stinking frames!) I've revised the house tiles, mailbox, stones, some carpet tiles, pathway tiles, table and chairs, chest, pot, and some other tiles. I haven't changed the dirt or grass yet but I'll get around to it.
Rick made this neat animation of old to new tileset so that you can get a better idea of all the changes so far. None of the new tiles are finalized though, so don't get your undies in a bunch if you dislike something you see.
Hopefully I can finish enough of the tileset to start working on levels soon. Since the levels are already made, I'll just have to go through them and revamp them and make sure to fix tile errors and adjust some tiles to fit the new updates. I might get some people to help me with that part of the project.
Scripts will be a pain since I'm probably going to have to pick up on gscript2, because of it's superiority to gscript1, it would be dumb to revise the server with the old script when there is something better to use. I think it's mostly easy to convert though.
