[WIP] Final Fantasy-esque Menu
 

Here's something I've been working on and off at, it's nothing special, just want some opinions. I've been wanting to make a turn-based server exactly like Final Fantasy but never had any scripting support so I kinda just made it for fun.

Edit: I did not make the bodies in the menu, I simply snatched them from some avatars on the forums for a place holder.

Pretty though FF is terrible. :)

Its not that bad..
-------------------------------
But yea looks nice.

Nothing beats FF1. It all got grimmer until FF12.

You should get a scripter :o

A good quality scripter is hard to find, and I'm sure you know this.

I don't want my project put together like crap basically is what I'm saying.

If I could script I could make everything myself, but unfortunately I lack that skill. I used to be able to understand GS1, but I never tried to pick up GS2.

Its very simple and concise. I like it for the most part.

Sorry, no.

I don't typically lose myself.

If you posted in the forums and told a bit more about the server I may well be willing to help.

You're taking my message far too seriously. I meant in the general public. Since you script it doesn't apply to you, but I was referring to people that need help with projects.

I'm on my work computer right now, but at my house I have a pretty detailed list of how the game will play out, i.e parties, dungeons, world map functionality, magic, classes, weapons, quests, quest givers, etc...I'm still working on the storyline, but I prefer to start from the end to the beginning. Sounds odd, but it gives me the ability to make story-specific events much more creative.

I personally prefer menus to be simplistic, but if I continue to work on it I'm sure I'll add something to spiff it up a tad more.

I was actually going for that approach, I thought it gave it more depth.

It looks bulky, even though it really isn't... probably because of the borders being so thick. That's just personal preference.

If you like, forum PM me your ideas and I will more than likely help you out-- what I have heard so far sounds very cool, right now I have no scripting job anyway.

All I've been doing recently is making the mother of all pointless mudlibs ...

I'm glad you have experience with mudlibs, because for this project I'm pretty sure we'll need them with the huge amount of items I want implemented.

I also did see an enchanting script somewhere on the scripting forums, I really liked the idea of that.

Yeah, I will PM you my text document of ideas tomorrow or the next day.

I believe he said quality.

i like it!!!^^

You know what I just thought up that would make it look great? Some golden viney trim.

If you don't get what I am saying I will make a sample later.

pretty awesome

:) I think I made that :P xD

:cry:


Tig makes me cry.

Tig makes everyone cry XD

But still, Ich liebe Tig :D

Yeah, that's really cool. If I ever start this thing I'd like to implement that into random rare item drops...so weapons/armor etc is different almost every time.

Is it possible to have the stats ranged by level of the monster? Such as levels 1-5 have low random stats, 5-10 a little higher, 11-15 even better etc, if you get what I'm saying.

I haven't figured out what I want to add to it yet, I want it to be simple yet very pleasing to the eye.

Go ahead and make a sample though, maybe it'll give me some inspiration.

Yeah, could be done easily with some modifications :P

I think I will start working on the battle menu for fun. :)

Pure awesome-ness.

Here's the battle menu. I'll explain it a bit.

Effects
You will see what icon does what when you hover over the icon with your mouse.

Fury
Basically a limit break, overdrive, etc, pretty self explanatory.

Wait
Time you have to wait until next turn, can be sped up with the haste spell and the agility attribute.

One of my favorite Final Fantasy menus was seven's so I made my own version of it.

Nice :)

As far as technical quality goes, it's pretty rudimentary. Colors are nice, although a touch dull - they don't really contrast enough. It's not especially impressive, given that it could be made in minutes in mspaint and doesn't really have much creativity in it aside from the angling of the corners - although that seems to be standard issue GUI stuffs on Graal.

I guess you meant FF like... FF for the gameboy?

haha stephen dont be so mean xD

That would be an awesome server :o

Simple, yet appealing.

Mythic is/will be a Final Fantasy inspired server by the way. Screenie in HERE should have given me away by now. :rolleyes:

Oh, cool. I guess I have no need for this then. >_<

I like everything except those custom bodies.
