Interitus

[Arch_Angel]

Hello and welcome!
Let me first state that this will be a hiring thread so please, if you have any problems with the server or have any off-topic statements please forum Pm them or take it somewhere else. If you have any server ideas or suggestions please please please share them. This server is FOR the players. We need you to make it great! We are currently here to hire as much of the staff we need as possible, and we need your help to do it! So let me get started

Intro

First off, the server will have a modern style to it but not be your average modern styled server. Interitus will be a modern styled server that is uniquely different and will be a complex server. We (DeCeaseD and I) have been working on the tiles for a couple of weeks now, and have come up with some nice tiles so far. The tileset is looking pretty full and we are still adding tiles. ((To download the tiles to take a look at them download the ZIP file at the bottom of the post))

Ideas:

Lets state that we have many basic systems completed. But we are in need of a active NAT. The Graphic talent on this server is very superior, and along with the Dev all together. But NAT is one of our weaker points if we want to do some of the ideas we plan on doing for the server. Some ideas we have for the server will consist of the following:

-Having a damage system on random item NPCs across the overworld. Such as windows break after being shot at with bullets, bigger rocks can be broken, little pebbles can be thrown for fun just to amuse the player. The player hit would only have a 1-2 second stun, no damage will be dealt.
-Wanted level will be in play here. There will be a random spawning quest NPC guy that goes around the OW in random locations asking you to complete certain things for him. This will earn you some wanted level OR respect. We may have a respect system in place of this. The way that will work is, the more respect you get, the better NPOCs react/talk to you. Also items in shops will be slightly cheaper.

-Exp system will be a bit different. You will be able to gain lvls up to a certain level (probably 20). Each level gives you 2 stat points to distribute to 3 different stats. These stats wont be BIG advantages to your guy. In order to notice a real difference in your character, you will basically need to distribute all the points you earn after leveling to your max, to the same stat to notice a difference in the stat your adding to. I will not go too in detail with what the stats will be, considering we are not sure but have more than 3 in mind.

-Event system will be very extraordinary. There will be mini-game type events instead of some of the boring same old ones people play now. Some events are good but we plan to not only have good events, but a good setup to them as well. I wont give out much on what our plans our on this, I would like to keep it mainly confidential. So we don't have anybody taking our ideas. Once idea I will throw out there will be, we may have a NPC ran event system going while the ET's are off line. This isn't anything that unique but something a little different. The events will be ran for small amounts of money or some respect points. Or maybe sometimes something rarer.

-Have more than one city. Cities will NOT be based around gangs and such. One city will have all the gangs and a lot of PKing. This will have territory wars in the area. Gangs will fight to take over certain territories on the GMap giving you XX amount of points for each territory. Main center of this GMap will show which gang controls the most territories and has the most points. Basically will show a leader board. People will be able to buy out run down buildings and buy furniture or w/e they want for it. They can make images and have them uploaded to the server to place int here gang house. Once they buy the run down buildings they create a gang name to use. So basically anyone can own a gang pretty much, and it won't be for a outrageous price that takes 48 straight hours of non stop working to have enough money for the gang. This wont be too hard to obtain.

-Many jobs will be influenced in the game. Giving the player a variety of what to do. Most jobs will have the same rate of gaining money as the others. Then there will be the small jobs that have there advantages to gain more money. But we plan to have many many jobs and wont be the same old boring (press D, D, D, D, D, S, D, D etc...) You get the picture. We plan to make it active and fun for you. sure there might be some boring styled jobs where you just press the same button a million times for the people who dont mind doing that



Okay, well getting off our idea topic the server plans to keep its pace going at what its been going at. We have a game plan set up right now. We are currently finishing up the tiles to our liking. The tileset has gotten rather full, rather quickly. Soon our over world development will start to progress and expand. It has already started a tiny bit. But we are finishing up on the tiles before diving in to the OW dev.

Hirings

For hiring contacts:

Log on the server 'Interitus" and talk to either I (Angel), or Sage (DeCeaseD).
Forum PM one of us!
Email your apps @ [email protected]
Contact me on AIM - mshort345 -

For applications for each staff position, we would like to see:

LAT - Send in 2 or more levels (inside or out) to us using one of the ways listed above.
GAT - Send in your past server history and be ready to show 5-10 of your best GFX!
NAT - Would rather you log on the server. Contact one of us and let us know your skill with the GS2 scripting language
Gani - Shows us some of your best Ganis and/or your past staff history.
Other - We are not hiring any Non-Dev staff but eh, what the heck. Maybe we could use you for future reference. Wont hurt to have some apps to look at when the time comes. For this send in what staff spot you would like, why, and your past staff history on any other servers. Maybe list any references if you can.

Screenies!

Time for some basic screenies of the server. This will just give you a little feel of what Interitus is about. (Best to just log on yourself and find out the full experience now!).

Outside tiles with a couple images in it.

House. We plan to NOT have houses on Interitus but just shows the creativity you can do with the tiles! And thats without alot of images to even spice up the level even more!

Another Random screenie with a wielded gun. Just showing some new bushes we made and some brick tiles.

AK-47 firing

Here are some server files for you to play / look at. I will let you download some server images and the tileset along with the tiledef script for you to play around with the tiles in your editor if you wish! Enjoy

((Note: If tiles don't work in editor, you need to log on the server to get them tiles into your levels/tiles folder, and get your tiledefs straightened out.))

Now this is something.. I might apply

[DustyPorViva]

Finally, a modern-based server who's tiles do not look exactly like Era's. Who would have ever thought this day would come? *tears* Someone get a camera and take a picture of this, my little Graal is growing all up right before my eyes!

[Codein]

Great work guys, it's beautiful.

Lol xD

However, if I would have released what I was making, which unfortunately I didn't, there'd be another modern based server that doesn't look like Era. Mine was more cartoony than Era and this project, and the sidewalks were based off the ones in the UK (tarmacked instead of slabs of concrete).

[Elk]

hehe nice

[Pimmeh]

This, I like.
Beat up Utopia and Dev Zibou for me, will ya?
Very nice, and I support this

[Tom]

that AK looks hell hot And nice stuff ^_^

[Crono]

People need to get Era out of their heads when they make modern servers. For example, putting shells in dirt? That dirt in the second to last screenshot isnt connected to a beach, why are they there?

[Elk]

Dev Zibou is just a fake.
They won't get hosted or classic, as i said :o

to gerami:

shells can be found everywhere just depends if there was water before or not...even here in the alps are shells

[Switch]

Looks good, not like I've EVER seen that's a modern server.

holy **** angel, nice gun!!!! man this beats Utopia by a million, could u show me how u shaded ur gun?

? i just want to learn... and by the way... THIS IS TEH BEST SERVER IVE SEEN. someone get this hosted

[Pimmeh]

lol?
It isnt finished yet? Not nearly, as I notice from what I see?
And what about your own server?

[Horrified]

You drop your own server which has potential in players because you see a new bandwagon?

[Drastic Vendetta]

Amazing as usual Angel & Sage. From Graal X to this, way to go.

You'll def. see me around.

xD Sage and I actually thought about why sooo many people on Graal make it soooo hard to just get Era completely out of there heads and make tiles based on your own style of Modern. And this is what we are coming up with right off the bat

Ty, also thank you for the trees you donated (you still dont think they look that great). Everyone seems to love them, especially the one we added the leaves too

Will do. We are not revolving around beating them out that much though. We just do our job and do what we need to do in order to make the server better.

Yea, we tried our best to be very unique with the tilesets and with the whole game play all together.

Thanks for the compliment. If you see GFX that looks good and you want to learn, simply learn how I started to learn. Do NOT edit / steal the GFX. Just open it in paint and zoom in 8x and just study the shading style and how the light effect is on the gun. Seems to work if you dont copy or edit the gun. Just study the shading / light effects on it and then exit it and make your own GFX from scratch.

Nope, we still have a far way. We just got the tileset nearly to meet our satisfaction. Imagine what will grow on it and how the levels will look. We will try to make every level look creative and well put together.

wow, im not goonna steal.. angel how did u come from SOG to this? and i like the fact that u founda way to use white with brown.

Let us not go back to the SoG time xD. I was wrong to even do what I did WITH permission to use the stuff. I should have known it wouldn't have gone anywhere. It just had a high player count and got me kind of excited back then. Like your server is doing to you now. Anyways, that AK was not made by me. That was made by Sage. He taught me the light / shine effect though. (the part when you said how the white was mixed with brown). It is, in fact, not really white. It is just a lightly shade of that brown to bring out a shine effect to the guns edge. After I saw that Sage used certain types of colors for shine effects I gave it a whirl and came up with this back when the AK was made.

EDIT: New Screeny to show some new tiles. Cliffs / Strom Drains / More.


EDIT2: New Screeny to just show the basics of the tiles with a slanted style I'm trying. Didn't add to the shading or anything much yet. Just showing the form of what it would look like with some slanted tiles. Of course with these slanted tiles, you would need slanted outside tiles and snated outside roof tiles and so on.. So this is just an idea at the moment.

dude, does sage even still go on graal? if he does, can he help me on my server?

There's definitely still some similar things that needs to be stepped away from to separate themselves from Era, but I think it's a great start. I'm tired of seeing modern servers that look like Era. I would not care if I saw a new 'next newest best modern server!!!!!' every single day, if they were each unique in look and design. But all proposals always look like they took Era-reject tiles and made a tileset out of them.
So kudos to you guys for at least trying. Maybe you should take screenshots of Era and your server, place them next to each other, and weed out all the similarities until you're happy. Or take peoples criticism here for that kind of stuff seriously and make the changes needed.

He refuses to work with your server also. He is aware of Ork and the current life of staff there xD

[Codein]

I like how you used the purple/dark blue to shade the rocks under the cliff but it's too light. For best effects, it should be a bit darker.

[Knightmare1]

aw.. im thinking of restarting whole server.

[Arch_Angel]

Would be wise. Look at what all the critics have been saying (Graalians) about your server. Not a good reputation to carry for a server. You don't have to "restart" your whole server. There are some other routes to go by to make it simpler on yourself. That, you must learn on your own as a Graal Developer.


Now let us please stay on topic from here on out people !
Interitus is hiring. Refer to the first page of the thread.

[DustyPorViva]

How on-topic can a hiring thread get? It's not like people are going to post their applications here, so may as well talk about the server :P

[Arch_Angel]

Ooo how true that is. Well then, Ill start by saying we got the Exp system done a few minutes ago. It lets you earn Exp after each kill and gain levels. You can max your level at 20. Each level gives you 2 Stat points to add to either HP or to Speed. You will basically have to add all the stat points you earn to one single skill to get the full effect. You can boost your HP from 100 to 110 with all stat points being distributed to it. And you can make your speed go up a decent amount but not TOO much to where your a whole lot faster than the other guy.
Also We added just a simple radar toy to mess with. Just equip it and you can see where players are if your facing the general direction they are in. Just something different just to have on your player. 1 Radar is given upon login.

man you are working hard. i cant wait till this is hosted.

[mYg0tHaMpStEr]

So you delete my server and try to start another one?

Well.... Good luck.

And, I'm sorry to all of our Players that played Utopia.

Also, Angel, Nice work on Interitus!

Regards,
Ork

EDIT:

Utopia is back!

It has been added to dev deanjaloe_p2p!

[Pimmeh]

YOUR server? I thought it was Knightmare's!

[Arch_Angel]

It was. Ork was made a Co-Owner of the server. His rank to him was "Owner", but the only TRUE Owner of the server was Knightmare.

dev Xterminator, sound firmiliar?

[shyguy2]

I'm somewhat impressed by this server, the tiles are unique but a few things caught my eye,
A] The scripts.

B] The GUI.

C] The QMenu

For some reason they seem so familiar to me...

[Kyranki]

Sage hasn't even posted yet. This looks good.

[Sage_Shadowbane]

Hey guys, thanks for all the positive feedback.. Sorry for not posting in the thread, i've been kind of busy and what not. But mainly we are trying to make a modern server that will be basically alot different than Era in many different aspects (besides the normal guns to PK). Of course we are not going to base our gameplay on collecting guns and owning gangs/biz's so you can be better than every other player. Basically I have many ideas gathered in my head that I just need to write down into a document, and I will post some of the things here as soon as it is put together. But anyways, in regards to this comment..

Its obvious that you are being sarcastic.. so with that said let me say that there are new GUI's in development, and we dont have any scripters. (which we desperately need) But Chris said that we could use the scripts, according to Angel.

Btw, here is the new GUI in progress (Top left corner):

[Arch_Angel]

Yes Chris gave use full permission. I have a .txt saved document. If you dislike this, no problems. It will be removed ASAP we were just using it as a temp until we get things straightened out anyways to prevent some minor drawbacks.

Chris Zakuto? and btw i like the GUIs outline, all rocky, but i could do without the fact it looks like a pocket knife. hi sage, i havent seen u on server to much!

[Rapidwolve24]

Good work, I guess you two were right about the sidewalks . Haha.

[Knightmare1]

lol arent you the dude who tried to sell oakdale to me for 15 bucks?

[Arch_Angel]

Well here it is...
Due to the fact we can't find an active NAT to come to our server that has half a clue of what they are doing, our staff members are beginning to lose there motivation. It has gotten so bad, that they hardly ever come on and Sage and I have been thinking. So after we talked for a bit, we have come to the conclusion that Interitus will basically die and stop becoming active for a long while, UNLESS we get an NAT to help us out. If your a good NAT that is busy and can only help out 1-2 days of the week or just wanna help us with 1-2 scripts, then please log on Interitus. We are in DESPERATE need of an NAT. We got a new Q-Menu and GUI made. That needs scripted. The only thing Sage and I have been doing is making the images we will need for levels in the near future. We made a decent size list of what needs done and marking it off as we make them. But we cant go anywhere overall unless we get a NAT. So if anyone who can NAT can contact either I or Sage, the help would be GREATLY appreciated. We assure you, that you will not regret it. You will be working with some very talented Dev (Devs that can do everything but script good XD ). Either Forum PM us, AIM me : mshort345 or Sage: little dre970. Or simply post here or log onto the server. Thanks to all who will help. I will soon keep you all updated with some of the things we've gotten done since the past.Mainly, the tileset is done. We are still of course, adding minor things to it as we come by them. But overall, it is done, and looking very nice.
