Ok, I am trying to make EK more playerfriendly and such, so post any suiggestions you have to make it better, other than the following:

1. Please don't say "delete it to make it better" or anything like that

2. Don't ask me to add a level system, I have the EXP and power systems explained elsewhere in the forums.

3. Please try not to make your suggestions like "The graphix suck make them better", I am asking for CONSTRUCTIVE criticism/ideas.

Make the sword system better. I swing the sword once and get a *failed* message, then the sword doesn't work ever again.

Document how to start off in some way, I will be using the start island on my server to start the players off with the basics, then they can go to the main island with some knowledge. You should try making a tutorial level or have a sign telling the player where to go to get certain items.

Make things more interactive. From when I had RC, you had a simple preset string for kingdom sizes and percents. Make it more interactive! Maybe when the player starts off, a server strings adds a number to their selected kingdom member count and then something calculates percentages?

I have been working on that bug, but am unsure what's wrong with it. The failed part is normal, but it should still be usable. Do you mean you cant do anything with it or you keep failing? If it's the latter then you just have low EXP. If not then perhaps sometime you could help me make the swords into a class liek you have? It would help a lot.

Yes i suppose a tutorial level would be good..... I do have a *system item that actually helps by telling you the basics but everyone thinks that that's what we use for client commands XD.

Quite honestly, the kindom stuff won't be implemented until we are almost ready for classic (a long time), and wa splanning on doing something like this. There will also be ways to join each kingdom's army, spy group, or arcane army, and then do war actions, but I won't get into that right now.

Thats cause usually systems dont have help. Make a help sign or something.

Well would you be willing? to help convert the swords into a class? After that everything would be a lot easier to fix.

I'll probably make a starting quest or the like, but it may take a little while because my HW has been a lot lately :-/.

I suppose, but there are more important things to work on now, and the kingdom thign wil ltake a lot of time and effort that could go into things that would be mor ehelpful; at the time.

I think your /smartpost is broken.

He has something. He just needs to fix things up a bit and make the server run more smoothly.

zokemon · #12 12-07-2004, 07:31 PM

I hate, hate, HATE graal's defualt menu system ESPCIALLY when a playerworld uses it with 234807234 npcws!
Make a menu system then you will get some decency of my eyes and mouse looking at the server.

falco10291029 · #13 12-07-2004, 10:35 PM

I made one, but it was only one weapon at a time. The images are all different sizes so it's hard to make a more organized one with multiple weapons in an area. Plus I never did like making menus.

zokemon · #14 12-08-2004, 02:48 AM

Then hire someone like me that specializes in that.
Also ALWAYS make your icons 32x32
IT IS GRAAL LAW.
(Unless you set a different standard BUT USE THAT STANDARD)

falco10291029 · #15 12-08-2004, 04:55 AM

I'd hire you but I'm afraid you would delete whatever you can and say "i was trying to help" lol
