Frozen Legacy News
 

1. We have our own forums: http://enterprizehosting.com/~urban/...x.php?act=home They're not always up but it's nice to have em.

2. Since some people haven't been able to download our tileset I'll be uploading it here occasionally (couldn't get it to work on our own forums o_o)

Stay tuned for more updates.

Isn't that a direct Era on the paths anyway and erafied on the others....?

o_o Bah... so then... I'll have a talk with DrastiC Vendetta and we'll start on pics1...

Because DrastiC Vendetta never got a forums account and his account is expired and such, I agreed to post this for him:

Yeah, FL is going awsome.. I cant wait till it goes public XiLe..



(I host the site, Wee!)

and of course my awesome scripting will make it even better xD I cant wait til we go public either, goin to be a long time tho.

Heh, I don't see any "frozen" tiles in there.

What his is saying is that the path is not similar...its exactly the same

Wow who cares, honestly. Era made tiles for GraalOnline, so I dont see how another Graal Online server cannt use them. But I don't even think these tiles came directly from Era. Prove it.

No he's saying he didn't copy it but it's hard because everyone has Era on their mind... that's what I interpreted at least.

If Graal has a realistic oak tree, then I drew one that looks realistic, chances are they would look similar if it's two good artists.

[sarcasm]O-great I can't wait to log on and see that everything works![/sarcasm]
Looks like a good server, good luck :-)

Been there, done that, got the t-shirt...

Where's exactly is the Frozen, or Legacy part of this playerworld?

Cmon, half of the servers today have no meaning to their actually game play, i.e Babylon.

Due to a lack of names and not wanting to just be "Graal ______" we just picked an older project that I gave up on due to lack of interest and took the name :) Suggestions are open and we still have plenty of time to change the name.

But that sounds as if it's the actual NAME of the place. Frozen Legacy sounds like it's describing something within the server...

could be a metaphor to the server's plot...

hint hint, nudge nudge

Well we did have an idea but it wasn't thought out enough I don't think, and the server's been changing...

There's this volcano of legacy that's been frozen for hundreds of thousands of years, and it's just started to thaw... but there's strange creatures and evil forces inside... Can you defeat them? Or will you die trying? We never really finished/elaborated on the storyline but that was the basic idea of it.

Aha I see!. True :)

The paths are very very similer but a tad different as you and I can see. The seats are different but very similer also. I would advise you do change them.

Recolor ;)

Pretty close to just be a recolor to me :O

actually eras looks like that because I got a screenshot of it in some weird light. So its probably not even a recolor.

think:

1. Sidewalk parts are big and square

2. Everyone would make them 4 tiles large, grey, with a darker outline

conclusion: all sidewalks will look about the same

(this is kinda like that box argument that went on before... people were like "omg, you stole my box!" and then we finally established that boxes will usually look similar o.o)

anyways, I'm not saying if they are copied or not... because they very well could be... but I don't see how you could try to make them out to be a bad server based on tiles which they can not make differently...

basically all you can do to make 1 sidewalk tileset different than another is the little pattern inside it... which you would call 'recoloring'

Try using dole pink or tan for sidewalks , I did it for pixel life.

It looks nice, but I don't think it's what we're aiming for... We want to be very realistic... perhaps I will have more things done to the tiles so they look less and less like Era for you people that don't give up... (stones and imperfections in the sidewalks, more texture on the chairs or something)

Um, actually... there are things called smooth sidewalks... That are like... all flat and layed down with concrete, not slabs but cement mix. So it's all one continuous sidewalk. It's not like there is only one kind of sidewalk in the world (flat gray squares placed side by side)

How about making them longer on one side? Like a rectangle. Where I live, most sidewalks are rectangular pieces, not perfect squares. (so there aren't as many cracks to walk over, making it more uniform)

How about a dull tan/gray color. It's like people have no originality these days. 99% of that tileset looks like Era. The floors, the sidewalks, the walls, the chairs. Insipiration is one thing, copying something and changing the colors/pixels is another.

The sidewalks where i live is flat cut out stones that fit each other and make a very nice sidewalk that isn't just some sqare concrete plates

strange..

mmm, wouldn't those crack during winter?
