Interitus is still kicking!

Arch_Angel · #1 08-04-2008, 07:30 AM

Hello!
I am here to discuss the player world Interitus. If you do not know of its past, then be sure to look at the old thread.
Anyways, more tiles have now been added which can be viewed below. There are many images added also, almost enough content to make a complete GMap.
So basically a good chunk of the graphics have been made. All that's is left now is the scripting and some leveling. I myself can get to the leveling, but lets go into the real reason why I am here.

I am looking for a dedicated NAT who wants to go into this project with me. MOST Coders run into the problem of not having a good GAT or at least some what of content to work with graphics-wise. Well that problem is now gone, seeing as almost all graphics are out of the way, and the ones that will need added will NOT take much seeing as making graphics is my specialty. Along with LAT, which I am very talented at.

The player worlds Theme has not yet been decided. I do not know which way to go with this server. I am hoping an NAT would like to go into a project with em and get this server rolling. We will discuss what theme we would want it to be, and build off of that. These tiles could fit some pretty unique themes, or could even fit into a new style of Modern. Nonetheless, me and the NAT that wishes to pursue this with me will discuss what the player world will be. We will both have full access to the server of course, and will both hopefully be vary dedicated. I am asking for more experienced players, who can actually script very efficiently.

If anyone would like to talk to me about this, offers open and you're more than welcome to just come by and help Interitus in any field of Development. As the more help we get, the easier this whole thing will go. Once contacted, I can show you some more images that have been created. They are somewhat of a higher quality of graphics style. So you're definitely making your time worthy by contacting me, I assure it.

I can be contacted by the following:

Forum PM

Thank you to all, and feel free to discuss anything about the server or how you feel about the tiles. We are trying to make the tileset have a variety of things, such as the grass and building tiles you see. (4 diff types of grass, 16 diff brick buildings, new non-brick ones coming soon, 50-ish floor tiles, 16 inside walls etc . . .)

Not this crud again. Could you at least wait until an author complains?

That doesn't make sense.

That's like a bank is getting robbed in Houston, Texas, and people inside are calling the police but the police are all like "Aw man, not another bank robbery. Could you at least wait until the owner of the bank complains?".

Not a lot of people visit the forums. And not a lot of people log into every Under Construction server looking for their own content. So it's fairly likely that the content creator cares about their work being stolen but just doesn't know about it.

Except this is more like tapping the criminal's shoulder and stating "For your information, someone is robbing the bank."
(There's also the fact that someone inside would fear for their safety and thus give the law enforcement a good reason to intervene. Confusing comparison.)

Arch_Angel · #9 08-04-2008, 05:05 PM

Whoa whoa hold up. There is nothing on this server that is stolen. Those tiles you see were made by I myself, and Sage (DeCeaSeD). My other account is Omaster2, and We've had some of those tiles for a chunk of time now. And the only scripts that ARE on the server are the basic system ones, and part of the movement. So there is nothing else that can be 'stolen'. So instead of trying to ruin this thread, or make people feel that this stuff is stolen when it is NOT, please stay on topic and / or forum PM me with any further issues... This is ridiculous guys...

I think Demisis was referring strictly to your "Could you at least wait until an author complains?" comment, not this thread in particular.

I could be wrong, though.

PrinceOfKenshin · #11 08-04-2008, 05:34 PM

I have worked with Angel a lot and i know personally that he doesn't steal graphics. All of his graphics are made by him. He is a great graphic artist. And the point of this thread isn't to say "Ohhh! you stole!". The point of this thread is that Angel is asking for help. How about you all get your heads out of your ass and actually offer help. People on this forum complain about servers not going anywhere that is because you all are too lazy to help out. So instead you pick at a server until it dies because no one wants to work on a server that gets picked apart.

How about you try improving graal and help others out. I promise it won't hurt you. You might actually feel better about yourself.

TheStan · #12 08-04-2008, 07:44 PM

I see things made for Dual Ortus (Odyssey), Maloria, and Mythic Legends by Sage. None of it's stolen.

Frankie · #13 08-04-2008, 08:14 PM

maybe not stolen but heavily influenced from other tilesets. not that that's a bad thing, but it reminds me too much of era/atrius and I don't really like it that much.

Oh well that's odd. Last time I posted the servers tileset I was getting comments how it wasn't like Era and it was a "New style of modern", and to definately pursue this project. But hey, everyone has different opinions.

I never liked those kinds of tilesets at all, Atrius' tileset is almost as bad as Era's in my opinion. Era's tileset would be okay if they had someone improve it, while keeping to the style. Era's images in general are crappy.

Though, I love your street tiles (sidewalk especially). Main influences I see are Atrius and Sands of Glory.

Baszle · #16 08-04-2008, 11:18 PM

It's almost just like Graal X tiles.

the first that caught me was the carpet tiles. why must every server have the carpet tiles with the typical gray outline on them? what is that even supposed to be? era has those 2 gray/light gray carpets with them and ever since then servers have been mimicking it.

the tables look like Era's. then you have the roof vents that look exactly like Era's. on top of that, the wooden tiles to the left of the carpets is just a recolor of Era's. you changed the color 5 different times and added black to them which makes it look horrible.

most of the walls remind me a lot of atrius/graal x.

Arch_Angel · #18 08-05-2008, 01:36 AM

those wood tiles are not just recolors. They were started from scratch, but its the only way they can piece together, so I guess you could call them a 'mimic'.

The only way? You got 256 different pixels in a single tile, and you say it's the only way you could make those look like this? You could make them smaller, bigger (might need 2 or more tiles) or chop them up into squares instead of rectangles. Use your imagination ;f

Arch_Angel · #20 08-05-2008, 01:54 AM

These tiules will be replaced. These are just what we have atm. If anybody did not read the old thread, we are aiming to be different than other styled sets. So if it looks liek that now, it WILL be replaced. But as of right now, I'm more worried about the scripts we need, other than the graphics. I got tons of graphics now, and I need scripts. This is why I would like an NAT to go into this project with me. I mean I thought NATs would eat this offer up, seeing as they can't usually find Graphics Artists to go with their work. And now that i have gotten all tons of graphics done, I still cannot find an NAT. So I'm doing my best with another newer coder to try and script minor things to the best of our knowledge.

xXziroXx · #21 08-05-2008, 01:57 AM

Good luck, Angel.

Arch_Angel · #22 08-05-2008, 01:58 AM

Thank you Ziro, you are more than welcome to stop by anytime you wish!

Your offer is not appealing. Real artists just can't compete with programmer art.

Arch_Angel · #24 08-05-2008, 02:18 AM

Ya I figured you'd be back soon enough with something negative to say. Hope you feel better about yourself now that you've gotten that out of your system

Anyways, back to talking about the server, and possibly the hiring of an NAT. (hopefully)

Arch_Angel · #25 08-05-2008, 06:43 PM

Ideas and Updates

Interitus has now decided its Theme. It will be a Modern Warfare // Lifestyle server. By Lifestyle I mean you can live in a main city that does not allow PKing and you build up your wealth and status in society. There will be 2 different styles of ranking system, one will be for Warfare, and the other is your status in Society. As you work your way up in each, you will be treated differently by NPCs, access to certain spots, and slightly cheaper prices on goods.

Meanwhile, as you are leveling Warfare, you can build up small bounty's every time you get a kill. Once you die, the bounty's value goes to the player that kills you, and thus making your bounty reset back to '0'. There currently is 12 Ranks to work your way up as, but are not implemented in game yet of course. Seeing as we are now working on the HP and Combat system. The basic leveling system is done however, and will be added to in the near future.

We plan to add skills or abilities you can build up. Once you hit level 6, you get a point, and another each lvl after that, to build up specific skills in Warfare. Yes, there will be skills in your social rank also, but those will be entirely different.

Did I mention that in Warfare there will be two opposite factions? These factions will battle against each other in each of their cities. These 2 small cities that we start with will only be about 8x8 GMaps, but will build into countries over time. Whatever faction you may choose, you get a badge representing your faction that cannot be dropped nor traded.

Why would prices go down as you make more money?

No the prices will go down as your social rank goes up.

Hmm? What do you mean by Social Rank?

Arch_Angel · #29 08-06-2008, 09:48 PM

Were using the term Social Rank to state your rank in society. Such as your class, whether your an upper/middle/lower, except for more in depth. We are going down into ranks instead of just 3 classes. Such as peasants, Citizens, Officials etc . . . Who knows, maybe we can do Gov't officials for people to ru there own customizable towns or projects on the server, and they get re-elected every year. That would be pushing it a bit, but just trying to further your knowledge in our idea, and help broaden your imagination.

Updates
-HP System is finished
-Basic melee system is finished (along with the hit detection)
-Inventory GFX was made, and is currently being worked on.
-GUI (HUD) is made and put together, needs a couple more icons to go along with it, then pages that pop up according to which button you pressed).
-More GMap levels are getting done for the first Faction, Deviancy Hold.
-Tiles are still being added to the already semi-crowded tile set.

littlekinky · #30 08-07-2008, 03:32 PM

Why Would angel steal graphics if he can GFX his own Tiles to his standerd and the way he wants them?

Arch_Angel · #31 08-07-2008, 05:27 PM

It's all good littlekinky. I think the guys who were complaining of stolen tiles have now come to the conclusion that they are not stolen. Were back to Server questions, ideas, and comments.

ceserthen · #32 08-07-2008, 06:07 PM

Why are there two styles of cliffs in the tileset?

Angel and Sage

Arch_Angel · #34 08-07-2008, 08:42 PM

Correct, these tiles are meant to have a variety of tiles. Especially since there will be 3 'cities', or just call them GMaps if you will. And we aren't trying to stick with the same look, thats why there is 4 different grass tiles as well.

MAJOR UPDATE

-> After Dusty pointed out some of the similarities of Era tiles to ours, we decided to take him up on his advice and make some slanted tiles. Now, these took me a good bit of time to make. Also I had to think of how to make them take up as little room as possible on the tile set, while also having 3-4 different floor tiles for each color of wall. Well, i think I came up with a good solution, but I only added the checkered floor tiles at the moment, seeing as I gotta run for the day. We are hoping these tiles will help out player world stick out. We are also going to take it a step further and re-do some of the other things Dusty has pointed out, but I simply do not have the time today.

Anyways, here is the Screeny, and individual tiles I made for Interitus

( My imageshack isn't loading right. I will have another Int staff host it in a post.)

cbk1994 · #35 08-07-2008, 08:44 PM

I took in Dusty's advice and start to work on different color guis beside gray and here is what i have made so far. We are leaning towards the light brown. Please feel free to give your opinion on my recolors

If you guys are going to compete with Era(?)
I think you'll need a better tile.

It'll look better when it's not shown as much as it is here. You also can't judge us off one tile aswell :/

PrinceOfKenshin · #40 08-07-2008, 09:50 PM

So here is what we have decided to keep as our gui. In the bottom left is the inventory I'm going to work on adding some more detail later
