About the battle system, you should probably make some areas with monsters that you could see/dodge, and others that just appear.

Chances are, if all the areas have monsters actually walking around then it would be difficult to level.(People 'camping' spawn points, etc.)

Yes, that's the cleric's primary job and what will make them greatly saught after. Although they will of course have other skills but knowing how things go in MMORPG's they'll be to busy healing party members.

More than likely we'll be doing a combination of both. Some stuff will have to be shown like major bosses etc..

Good luck. Sounds like you have something planned pretty good.

See:

Chrono Trigger(SNES)
Chrono Cross(PS1)
Xenogears(PS1)
Xenosaga(PS2)
Tales of Phantasia(SNES~)

I'm pretty sure most of those greatly improve upon the style in Earthbound.

Yeah, those games have some good systems, especially Xenosaga for PS2 :p

This sounds very promising, but so did Tempest of Time, Faheria and countless other never to be completed playerworld projects.

Best organized project that I've read about in some time. Overall, unique ideas with more than a punch line to them. They are well constructed and based around a central idea. All of it can be done as well. It will just take some time to finish nicely.

Good luck, Tribulation. I'd spend the rest of my days on this server. Sounds really fun, challenging and addicting to me. I absolutely can't wait!

I'd say those are more variants than improvements. I've only played the SNES games on that list so I don't know about the PS ones.

Also, draygin, keep us updated about if you need help. I can't really do scripting or anything yet, but I could help give you guys ideas. Just keep us posted.

VERY excited to see this! Just make sure you don't use anything from FF series, it sounds too good to be true ;)

::edit:: After reading the rest of the thread, I also suggest a earthbound system -- But of course, if not, i'd still play it, like koni, if it was done well enough ^_^

Very nice. Good luck with it. :)

Excellent idea, i had a system like this near completed once
(RPG Style turnbased battle)

but i couldnt figure out if it would be good to be used or not

looks like a system like it will be used, and it sounds great, ill definatly play

edit: some music at the intro = perfect

draygin 07-13-2003 08:21 PM

We have music for it, but our music man is on vacation and its not finished. So eventually it will.

The theme song is online. Log on into our UC screen and check it out.

Also, don't forget to read your PM from the Control NPC.

draygin 07-25-2003 07:53 AM

My hasty compadre here released the information before he made sure it was working properly. ;) If you couldnt hear it before you will be able to now. The creator made the mistake of using capital letters in the name of the midi. But now that I'm on my home computer and with some trouble shooting we fixed it and informed him to keep it lowercase. ;)

*psst* Giltwist next information lets make a new thread. ;)

Everything sounds pretty much sound, but i don't get how u are gonna make a turn based system for a multiplayer game..

What happens when a baddy pops out and u go into battle mode? Can someone just walk by and see u two or however many duke it out? or do u just freeze there until the battle has ended and if u won u get unfrozen or if u lose u disapear? Or do u just disapear completely until the match is over, I'd be seeing a whole bunch of people popping up from random places and a lot of frozen players... For a second I'd think it would be lag.

and also, what if u wanna face someone else? are u gonna have to click on something from ur GUI and then click the player? and what happens if u dont want to battle with the person that wants u to battle?

It seems like this battle system is going to be extremely hard to accomplish and would take up most of your scripters time.

I'm getting all my turned based information from FF series and pokemon!

TribulationStaff 07-25-2003 08:55 AM

I don't want to give too much as far as details, but the walk by thing is not an issue.

Also, I already thought about the not wanting to fight problem. Keep in mind this is going to be an RP server.

And yes, it is taking me a lot of time because I want to do it right.

Sounds like everything is under control, just make sure you can get it from paper to reality. well, inside the game of course.
