Zenkou prjects/looking for some help

Hello community. I have returned to the Zenkou project and began cranking out more content. And We could use some scripting talent to help some projects come alive. Here is some stuff we've been working on recently.


Farming system still has some bugs. Minor things. The area at Jenkin's Farm has been extended to accommodate more players. There is also a tomato farm on Crescent Isle as well as a planned pumpkin farm in the works.




The house renting system needs to be developed from the ground up. The basic idea is randomly placed prefabricated houses around the world, each with their own style and design. Monthly rent payments, player shops, free inn, Off-line message system, etc.


Ive been thinking about this a lot and i've decided the fishing minigame needs some changes. There are the 36 fish to catch, the 5 lures to use, but they need to be implemented to make the player fish in more areas, in different scenarios to complete their checklist.

The tribal system is accessible at level 10 and beyond. Each tribe has a HQ located somewhere within the world. At these tribal grounds a player can join a tribe and access their discount vendors, free inns, and purchase tribe unique items/equipment. Each tribe has their own back story and unique test for joining.
The hat associated with the tribe is essentially the access key to the tribal areas. You put it on to show your allegiance. This system is also active in certain quest areas. (I.E. Bushorian sacred temple)
We could also develop some tribal fewds, where a party of players could work together to fight the tribal leader in a boss fight. Who knows. I haven't finished drawing the Raven or Moochi Tribal masks yet.


And of course the inter island travel system. This will be accessed via the ticket offices on many islands in the great sea. Player owned boats will also be available to more experienced players, which will allow free access to any island, deep sea fishing which is the only way to fill in the last 2 rows of the fishing checklist, and of course access to higher level areas that are not connected to any normal travel routes.

There also other systems that needs some fixing/ rebuilding, including the Kangaroo mounts, other farming areas, some weather system functions, the fruit trees, etc. And of course the battle system. We have many GFXed and animated monsters and class skills by the amazing Hachi.



If you'd like to help out with this project, we would really appreciate it. Maybe just fix a couple things that would also be great too. I enjoy logging on everyday and making something new, but to see it come alive with scripts is exciting. My contact info is in my profile. Feel free to send me a message/email, whatever. And of course you can log onto the playerworld and send me a pm!

Thanks.

One of the few servers that actually has quality graphics. I suppose I could give you scripting help as I always did like Zenkou. If the scripts are to messy though, I might have to decline :-x.

That is one sexy worldmap image.

You guys need to fix up the levels though. They're kind of a mess.

Well they were designed to be sort of a jungle type style so all the levels were necessarily detailed with alot of swamps and tiles. I didn't make those levels you see on Maine so yeah...but i wouldn't call them bad....

@ Vima: There's a lot of stuff to redo tbh.

I agree, when I see the worldmap image, i'm like "woah, I want to play that server right NOW!", when I log on and see the levels I'm like ":X!!!!!!!!!"
I really hate the levels, especially the palms. Looks messy! It looks like it took a person 3hours to make all the levels.

However the images and scripts are pretty cool

Count me in for scripting. I've always LOVED Zenkou's graphics and the tropical feel of the server. Feel free to contact me on AIM or give me one of your contacts so I can prove myself worthy.

I'd sure help if I can
Call me for anything !
GFX or maybe basic scripting (XD, I know I'm a newb)
maybe also LAT, ppl call me good LAT, but I think that, when you'r good, making somehing bad is harder than the normal work O_O
But well, I'll try if you want me to .

zeon hasen't been around since Ive been back, but as long as he keeps payin the bills, we can keep going hehe.in the mean time, heres 2 screens of some areas we've had in the works for a long time.

The clouds one is Swiftwind. It was originally made to be the events castle, but we are going to expand the area and change it to be another dungeon/quest.
the next screenshot is a particular cave level underneath Sol Grotto. It is the path from the beach to that observation tower in the middle of the village.


again any help is appreciated. we have alot of systems that need tweaking. the more content we can get working 100%, the faster we can release it for beta.
Thanky

Why is it sticked? I like Zenkou but I fail to see why the thread needs to be stickied.

Nice clouds, but I don't really see how they fit into the rest of the jungle themed server. Perhaps it sounded like a good idea when you guys thought of it (???) but personally, I'm not feeling it.

Probably a good example of what a hiring thread should be like.

I think Ben used to sticky the good ones? Not sure.
