Mythic Legends
 

I thought it would be a good idea to post a information/news thread about Mythic, so that I can perhaps attract some attention..



The World of Mythic

To beginn with, only a part of the planet will be playable, but its an entire continent and it will be huge. Mythic Legends will be a terrain style server, with anime style graphics. You will NOT be able to walk from one end of the map to the other within a few minutes.

So far, Ive illustrated the part of the world wich will be playable from start.

A Few Ideas

Gloves (Armor)
Helmet (Armor)
Shoes (Armor)
Cape (Armor)
2x Rings (Misc)
Necklace (Misc)
Main Hand (Weapon)

Long Range (Weapon)

Legend:

Cloth: Adds no stats what so ever, only for looks.
Armor: Adds Armor and various other stats.
Misc: Adds special effect and various effects.
Weapon: Used for fighting, can add various stats.


Stats:

The following stats are increased as you level up in skills.
Strength (str): Decides your maximum carry weight and damage. Affects Armor a little.
Constitution (con): Decides your maximum health and various resistances.
Dexterity (dex): Affects the speed of the player, and also chance to hit (Attack Rating). Affects your long range damage a little.
Charisma (cha): The more charisma, the cheaper it gets! The art of bartering, and NPC interaction.
Intelligence (int): The higher intelligence you have, the more spells you can learn and the more damage you deal with your spells.


Stuff

Jail/Crimes/Bounty: If a person commits a crime, and get caught doing so, he will get a bounty upon him. The bounty value depends on the crime you committed, and at what extent. Once you have a bounty on you, NPCs will act different towards you - and some will even try to turn you in / arrest you. Players and/or NPCs knows as "Bounty Hunters" can arrest you as well, if they find you and survive the encounter with you that is. Of course, there will be "Guard" NPCs as well. Knights/Paladins does also have the power to bring you to justice.

If you get arrested, you will end up in a NPC run jail and your bounty will be set to null, however it will be saved in a database so if you break out of jail you will get back your old bounty + bounty from breaking out. There will be several ways of breaking out of jail, that depend on your skills and attributes. If you fail to break out, you will have to rely on 'fellow' jail mates to aid you.. you *could* always pay them to help you. Oh and also, when you get arrested all of your items will be stored for safe keep by the guards, and become 'stolen property' (see info about it). If a player that is breaking out decides to give it a shot to try and steal any of the detained items - it will not sell to most shopkeepers since they don't accept 'stolen' property.

Depending on your bounty level, NPC guards will act differently i.e. at a low level, they will simply arrest you.. at a higher level, they will try to kill you.

Stolen Property: If an item gets stolen, it will immediately count as stolen property - doesn't matter if you get caught or stealing, the shopkeeper (or whatever) will notice that the item is gone. Stolen property can not be sold to a Good Aligned shopkeeper but it can be traded to other players.

Alignment: You start out with Neutral Alignment, and depending on your actions - your alignment may change to Good or Evil. NPCs (and hopefully players) will act different against you depending on your alignment. Evil Alignment plus a high bounty level might not be such a good thing to have.


Some Graphics

What Have Been Done So Far?

* A pretty much completed MUD item system with a working inventory that has a unique design.

* Basic sprites (idle, walking)



We are working as hard as we can, but we could use some help.. if you are interested, just contact me (see my signature). I will try and post all updates/news in this thread.

That was the one with the terrain maps, right?

The terrain map that I used to have was nothing but a test.

Lame map, put some thought into it.

i kind of like the map, nice and simple. nothing complicated :]

I agree.^^

How is that lame? It's just sketch.

I really like the idea's behind this server, I just hope you can pull it off.

The GFX that you showed look nice. :]

Wow, I would love to help with this.

Wow, you guys just got the best GANI maker on Graal. :D

haha, finally, some good feedback on Mythic ;o

Well I guess the map could turn out well depend on how the graphics/art look....I still think you guys are gonna have to put more details into those buildings. Make stones look more like stones and stuff.

I feel as if that building would feel the same all the way around if I touched it. Even though the only reason I knew it wouldnt is because of the line art.

Anime is more... bright o_O

The buildings look detailed..

So? Its not an ANIME server, more like ANIME INSPIRED graphics.

If you are serious, I might just have to follow up on it. :)

Hot stuff you got there, xzir. I hope you'll finish it!

Didnt you say you would help us out? :p

Yeah. :frown:
But you know me, I'm lazy :noob:

Looks like you're doing good without me though ^^

So many smilies ;(

that looks nothing like anime

Just promise me my work will go toward good effort and not a trash can. Also, I have no gold or VIP time, so I may have to find a way to manually transfer everything to you while testing them offline.

Like Ive told you before, I would very much appreciate your help with items/equipment.

Of course.. I added you on AIM (EmoB4ngs), we can continue this conversation there. :)

Holy ****, that screen name is like 3 years old.

IM me at HachiGraal.

Update your forum profile then! >_<

A weather system is being worked on by Drakilor.

It will be affected by air humidity, season, wind and temperature. Logon anytime to see how far it as come, I will post when its fully completed.

Last time I was there, it rained in that direction ----->
Nice system tho :]

*hooray*

We broke a new record for the server today, we were the 10th on the most-players server list with out 11 players, and we were 1 player below Mythic. Suprisingly, the majority of the 11 players were players and not staff.

Oh well, back to the workshop!

Congratz :]

Is it going to have anime inspired boobies? Cause ya know thats what were all thinking in the back of our minds.

I just wanted to comment that the player bodies are nice (so far... since it's a lot easier doing just an idle front view than anything else), the clothing is nicer, but the house looks awful in comparison. It doesn't fit the character in terms of detailing, shading style or outline style... I really hope you can make all of the graphics flow together so that it doesn't look so amateur.

Thats what Im sayin, theres good parts about the house but it needs some work O_o.

Heh, well, me and Jer do stuff like this.. I GFX whatever I can, and then I send it to him so he can "pimp it up" a bit. I dont spend nearly as much time on graphics that I should, but I preffer scripting any time over making graphics.

So dont worry, the house will look -alot- better once Ive given it to Jer and he has worked his magic on it.

And well, about "anime inspired boobies".. I dont think so, Ive made a female version of the body, and it will be online as soon as I install a simple gender selection screen.

Oh and, we dont -just- have front views, we have 4 directions of idle and walk which is all we need atm. More sprites will be made eventually, but right now its not top priority.


Update(s):

* The overworld map have been changed (you try editing over 4000 squares in the terrain editor to get it too look exactly like you want too..), and the overworld has over 4000 levels. I intend to make flying a big part of the server.

Really nice! I'll take a look later :D

I updated my post after you posted, now you are using an old quote :cry:

hehe; fixed now :)

No its not D:

EDIT: Oh wait, im too fast o.o

yup, well, back top topic ( thought you would say that tho..)

Ziro, since the gmap is terrain, you planning on having a own tileset?

Yes, I am working on a tileset similar to picso.png, but since the server will have different environments but still only one main world gmap, there will have to be atleast two tilesets. I will probably add the desert town firstly.

Also, you can now chose gender on Mythic.

These things needs to be completed in sprites before it will look descent:

* 4 directions of female head and hair
* 3 directions of male head and hair
* Female white pants

The female sprites is an edit by me based of Jer's male sprites (which I made the up direction for).

Hmm, when I walk with no pants or sacks equipped, my legs are gone ( only outline) =O You'll fix that, or is it?

Ive fixed that already. Oh and, its "sacks", not "socks".
