Nocturne Online PW Project

IAMNOTAFREAK · #1 06-04-2002, 08:50 AM

Hello, everyone! I am known as Crimson and I am the owner of the, hopefully, upcoming playerworld 'Nocturne'.
I need help with this, though. I am the only one doing any work at the moment so it's slow going.
A little description: it's a role-playing server, not extremely strict, but still sctrict...an overworld of 200 levels...there was a good King that kept peace in the land, in a nut-shell he's missing/dead, this fulfills some sort of prophecy and the elders of the four races (entilok, elwen, atavus, and tundorian) begin a search for The One to defeat the evil and bring back peace (i know, i know, it's not very original :P).
What I need is staff, and there are plenty of openings. If you think you can handle a staff position then do not hesitate to send an email to me ([email protected]). Please include your nickname, account name, and which staff position you want to apply for.
If you are going to apply for LAT, then along with that email send also up to ten levels. If you are going for NAT then send also your best work. Make sure that any of the files that you send are in a .zip file. The same goes for Graphics, send your best work of anything. It doesn't necessarily have to be Graal related, but is recommended to be Graal related. If you want to try out for RP Admin then go to this link: RP Admin Test

And, here is the map as of today (6-3-02):

i dont think any Lat will send u 10 examples of their work....

IAMNOTAFREAK · #3 06-04-2002, 09:14 AM

read it again...it says: 'up to ten', which means i just dont want to download very big files...i dont care how many it is as long as it's your BEST and it's 10 or less...

Okay, attached is the newer map...lately I've added many more paths, finished up more outside houses and stuff...umm, reworked boundaries...

Nocturne? So the playerworld will be in complete darkness? =D And everyone would be at night correct?

I really think the name should change and have a name that convey's the concept, then again if you do not know what Nocturnal or any abrievations of the word mean then I suggest you get the trusty dictionairy =D

SavantMiles · #8 06-06-2002, 08:12 AM

that was one of pheonixs accounts

IAMNOTAFREAK · #9 06-06-2002, 08:14 AM

I realize what nocturne means, and I chose it on purpose...now, if you were in fact the literary master that you so obviously are you would realize that darkness is most likely going to be used to symbolize evil...and the 'in a nut-shell' description I gave earlier talks about having to defeat evil...
think about what you're talking about next time, blah ¦P

Anyway, to stay on subject: I still need lotsa help with this...lat's, nat's, and gat's specifically...

IAMNOTAFREAK · #10 08-16-2002, 09:58 AM

Hello, everyone. It's me again...
my gold account will be up in less than 15 hours, I'm hoping I will be able to post more as long as my cookies hold out, but I may not...
Anyway, I still need help with this project, it has gotten further, but not much further...though, I am extremely confident in this playerworld project, I feel as though once it goes up it will be one to be imitated by others. I have new systems for almost everything planned, including new characters and baddies, large quests (more zelda-like, rather than just 4 screens of 'kill-the-baddies'), a new tileset, and other things that I have planned that I don't want to give away. It will have a look of it's own (though, I'm sure it will have it's similarities to things also, I mean that's a little hard to escape seeing as how Graal is very similar to Zelda 3).
But, as I just said and have said many times, I need help with this. I want to add variety to the levels, scripts, graphics, etc. I want more than just my own designs, that would be bland. In order to have the variety I must have more people working on this project than I have right now (which is not many at all), if you are interested please contact me by email ([email protected]) and tell me what you're interested in doing. Also, ask any questions that you have.
As I have said, I am very confident in this playerworld project, but to see it reach it's full potential I ask the aid of anyone that is willing.
Thank you for your time.

Neonight:

Thank God. Someone who can spell good... for the most part. (Aside from typos)

Here's a few things:

1.) Backpals are laggy.

2.) If you use lights, people can disable them, so it will be more of... well... a day than night.

I only looked at one screenshot which was the first one and I found a lot of problems. For one, you used the wrong high mountain tiles. They are ick, what you do is press 'W' in the predefined objects for Standard, and there will be all kinds of water mountain tiles. Copy and paste parts of them onto your mountain to make it look normal. Also, the levels are not very detailed.. When I have open patches oh grass, I fill them with puffy grass, flowers, swamp, or whatever else I can use to fill them that fits the current area. Cut down bushes too, the little peg things.

I hope this helps you out a bit.

Corupt: ok for one the cliff work looks good from the map but it is not correctly done but Spectre1337 helped you with that as for your map work man the cliffs are cool but like the snow level with the fence on the edges of the whole level is just umm not good and where your desert begins you just have a huge curved line you need redo that and your houses are too set apart for the size of your map doesnt seem like there will be much to do just detail your stuff and do soem more map work and dont make some things on your map so square some people know what im saying im tired goodnight
