You had it all worng (great now you made me spell wrong wrong :p)

the levels arent that very good like in the 4/10 range but a huge improvement and its better.

XD now i ca'nt think strate :p

hes trying to mock you and you just killed it.

Anywho, a few new things:
-Radio
-Trading
-Auction House
-Banking system
-Better jailing system (with auto un-jail)
-Better levels and events
-Many bugs (if not all) have been fixed
-more weapons now available
-story for DR2 is finished
-event coins/prizes are added
upcoming:
New attacking, and movement systems, pets, insturments, more events, nations, and more

We are now accepting player businesses (resturants, weapon stores, pawn shops, anything you can think of). The rules for them are as follows (quoted from the NPC server):
If you would like a business, send an e-mail to [email protected]
with your name, account, name of business, location on server, the levels for business, items you want to sell, and your current money and hours.
You must make the levels and NPCs (we can provide help, and examples)
We can even give you money so you can start!
Business owners will have to restock, and purchace inventory, good businesses can even get loans from the server, and if we like the business idea, money for start up and paying employees. This will increase trade of certain items as well, as they will be harder to get, and most likely more expencive. I expect somre really origional ideas to come from this ;) If a business is 'inactive' for a long time, we will change ownership, or it will be destroyed. All levels/npcs may be changed by DR staff, rules may be updated as well. :D Mining system is also done, and all jobs have been updated

I powerfully agree, anyone who logs on should hit "Esc" immedately unless you wish to have bad eye vison. >_<

Or unless you already do.

I believe he already does ;)

False, I have perfect eye vision up to the point i stare at you servers levels. :eek:
haha... I don't know what to say to that :\

I'm not sure what you dislike about the levels, if it's the tileset, the contrast has been boosted from the origional, alone with the detail. After you see it, the old tileset look kinda plain. I hope you get the time to actually play, because those that do rarely have a problem with the server, and actually enjoy it. :)

At least he can manage a server:). But his server has bad quality but still.

Excaliber... Son...

Why can't you just see that all this "New Updates" and "We're accepting businesses" crap is utterly pointless. I don't think anyone with the right mind would want to waste time on your project in it's current state.

The levels are terrible. And i thought i'd scream this in your face:

LOL NPC TREES.

Also, the bow always shoots upwards, you can warp into trees, and I have around 100k gralat from manipulating a weapon shop bug. Your NAT and LAT need to be booted in the balls several times until the pain makes them think.

1st off, I don't have an NAT :\, the bow does not always shoot upward, I'm not sure what you're talking about, and did you report the bug, or just abuse it? Because abusing a bug is a no-no. I really would like to know of this bug's location so I can fix it. Also, to know what state the server is in, you would have to play it, which Codein, I have not seen you do.

You dont have an NAT? o____o

If you're that desperate, i'll help. Good lord, even I can script better than that and i've been in teaching for about a week..

This 'bug' (the weapons shop one) turned out to be a corrupt staff member I beleive, and happened quite a while ago. However, I am checking logs, as it seems Raeiphon was jailed for "cheating" once, and later unjailed, by the same GP (it was before i made the auto un-jail feature) anyway, I have a hard time trusting you about her (who has never cheated/lied before) when you lied about the 'bugs'. Anyway, I'm checking all logs, and I will get to the bottom of this. Don't try to lie like that.

If you read my PM, it explains what the bug was. And the 'cheating' ban was for overlapping boundries (which were non existant) in that jetski race thing. Tsurace i think it was. Some other dude got jailed along with me.

I've played it, for a short while. Personally, I steer clear from monstrosities.

Whatever, if you don't like it fine, but this thread was meant for news on DR, and as usual, it turned out with some people voicing their bias oppinions, with little to no facts to back them up. If you have a problem with DR, and you don't like it for some reason, do the mature thing, and forum PM me your complaints. However, if your complaints have no backing, please refrain from putting them in the forums, or PMing me your crap. Thanks

Oh, okay. From your previous posts, I've been able to rack up that you don't use GS2. That's one reason. Change whilst you're ahead.

Number two, the levels are horrible. Anyone can see, provide a screenshot.

Number 3, your graphics are horrible. Same again, provide a screenshot so people can laugh.

In other words:
Your playerworld sucks. People have told you countless times practice, and you are getting better, but your attitude is getting worse. Why would anyone even want a business on Dark Rival? No one. The storlines are cliché aswell, which disables your server from sexual arousal.

Servers always ran on GS1 in the past, it's a good engine, it has it's flaws, but you can work around them, we will be making the swotch to GS2 though
Actually, they are improving, and look quite nice, giving people the ability to easily move around, yet still look unique. However, I wil agree, some levels still need work
We have plenty of origional, and nice GFX, however, once again, we are making more
Yes we are getting better, and thats why this thread was made, to show it's improvement over time. and my attitude? Well, I'm changing stuf aren't I? If my attitude is getting worse, it's from stupid little kids like you, complaining about a server because you for some odd reason, find it's very existance annoying,(which, like racism, normally comes from fear...) It's improving, it's gonna be big, and I'm not quitting, get over it.
Because other servers don't allow it as much, and DR has a more realistic system for it, making DR have a more realistic feal, and allowing players to become more involved.
First off, you shouldn't be getting sexualy aroused over a game, no matter what it is, and secondly, it is a VERY origional storyline, as you sill see if you PLAY the game, and it's prequel and sequel (not finished yetm however the foundation is set for they're creation). It will become more of a server than before, and allow players more choice in how they will play the game, how they will make money, when they will do certain quests (because there are different staratagies for it). DR's groing, and there's nothing you can say that would make me stop making it. So your best bet would be constructive critisisms, because your brand of critisism will get you no where, as well as your brand of logic.
And more on topit: We have a new business that sells new rare weapons, there is a limited supply, so you will have to buy them from other players if the store gets sold out. (All business that sell items will be like this)

Oh wow, explain the storyline again :P

The whole thing that annoys me is that you're treating DR as if it's something wonderful, which it isn't. You need to practice before you make threads like this. This thread wasn't to show improvement at all, but to try and show off your project as if it was something amazingly cool and original - which it isn't.

What's realistic about the business system at all? This is a 2D game which looks more like a cartoon more than real life. No one wants Bugs Bunny to be realistic.

And what's more. I didn't say people should get sexually aroused over the server. I was basically calling the whole thing a flop without a decent storyline :P Read.

I traded away my Trading System :(.

okay, bug with trading the trading system is gone, there are now rare and powerfull weapons that would be good for trading on the server. We also now have a potrion on the Graal Bible, I hope that this will better explain where the server is going (please excuse the screen shots, I'm working opn getting more up to date ones). As for the story line, it's taking shape now, and I know now what will be done with the server. You're just going to have to play it to find out the twists (and I'm planning one that will not only change how you think of the server, but how graal is played ;) thats gonna be fun XD ). So lpay the server to find out, because there's a lot coming to DR, and it would be a good idea to be a part of it :D The sites I have mentioned can be found in my sig. and yes, we are hiring ;)

Working on finishing touches of the latest quest. It's very large, and inculdes a choice of one of the new RPG weapons (weapons that gain EXP and stats as they're used). I also have added a new camera system, which allows the player to use 3 different camera modes, the regular one, chase, and 'player' view (you see farther ahead of you than behind). Expect new weapons to come for the classes as well ;)

And it's a miracle that they survived. If you are thinking what I mean by that, just be glad that you haven't seen Chrisz's scripting on Era.
Actually, it's hideous, and is not easy to learn sensible ways to do things. It has to use #s(), #v() and #I() to distinguish between data types!
By doing yourself, and your entire server, a favour by switching to the new engine. It is easier and more powerful, so stop hindering your server's development with the old engine.
I hope by this you mean "I actually plan to get GS2 enabled today and immediately start converting my scripts"!

GS2 is enabled, and some scripts employ it. I am learning it as well, and once I've mastered it, ALL scripts will be in gs2.

I learned GS2 on Era. <3

I'm gonna miss the old format.
function onCreated is gonna get old fast
if (created) was better :(
Oh well. Times change :)

The fact is, is that the new engine has a real function model.

true, thought I've found ways around using real functions, knowing gs2 is important ;) and usefull. Anyway, I have nothing against GS2, other than the fact that I can't test scripts offline :\

Okay, that long/really hard quest I mentioned is complete, but I don't expect anyone to beat it any time soon XD Also, recently added a mass system. Say /mass <message> and your message, account, and head show up at the bottom of everyone's screen. Limit one message up, to avoid it filling up the screen. :) I'm also going to start work on custom AI baddies, but this will take a while anyway.

Yay! More new features for DR!
I just added a market and auction house, where you can choose to sell your items at a fixed price, or set up an auction. This is an easier way of selling your items than using the trading system. ^^ Enjoy (I know I will)

i was the other dude :P it was fun tho, he was right three were no boundrys this server is full of bugs, i personly dont like it.

My server midwinter nights already has 4 different tilesets and we are only using one, we are keeping our options open.


Also, i see your making a huge effort but insted of adding new fetures all the time fix some bugs and stop making events its not worth having an events team when your in dev

I can't read your mind, please PM me here, send an email, or use the bug report system. If a bug shows up, I fix it. I'm sorry you were jailed for something you didn't do. What do you mean by no boundries?
Also, DR currently has our 'custom' tileset (mostly a recolor, more detail, more vibrant colors, and some tiles from older tilesets.) We also have a snow tiles set, which will be up next winter. (Yes, we should have a fall one by then as wll ;) ) Also, DR is still in developement, but it is mosty for features. You can play now with no/few bugs. If you find one though, use the bug system (/bug "bug here" ) to report. Soon a better system for bug reporting will be up, which will automatically send a message to the RC, as well as the bug log.

new bug system is up (uses gs2 ;) ) it is accessed from the player system weapon (In *system) just type in, and press report bug. (remember, abuse of this will account for jaiings and bans, we do track accounts)

I have meen informed by the PWA that DR will NOT make the hosted tab...
They're making it FULL CLASSIC!
So, look foward to DR on the classic tab, hope to see you all there!

???

:confused:
