Symphonia again! (openings...)

[Clockwork]

Hello,

Thanks for visiting this topic! I'm sorry to say, but the ancient server of Symphonia is once again renewing its stock of staff. Some have lingered and grown old, leaving Graal for bigger and (not so much) better things.

Symphonia is an RPG world that has been in development for -quite- some time. It will have its own classes, and story, quests, player killing... It's got a mean arsenal of everything a good rpg should have, to the limits of our staff.

We ask that anyone even thinking about trying to ask for a job, consider the following. We are NOT hiring non-development positions, I'm sorry. Also, if you want a job please be ready to include one of the best samples you can find to show us!


Current Server Openings as of 2008, 1, 10.

1 Gats
2 Lats
1 Sfx
1-2 Nat
(as many as want to join!) Devs
0 Non-dev (I'll say it again )

-Gats-
Gats will be responsible for flourishing about the images folder. They will enjoy a nice seat in thier chair while sitting close to the screen to create eye catching, dazzling graphics! This inclues mostly weapons, armor of any sort, icons, maybe some tiles, and anything else needed! All images uploaded to our server are ours, unless stolen!

-Lats-
Lats are wonderful people who make the crowded, laggy levels that most people complain about. But the best lats working here will make it an enjoyable experience to walk and explore through each and every area of the map. All levels uploaded to our server are ours, unless stolen!

-SFX-
I'm afraid symphonia has never had a sound effects person... But alas, we hope to find one amongst the ever growing community of them! I'm sorry but all sounds must not be found on free sound sites with the given excuse of "But anyone can use them!" Just, no. All sounds uploaded to our server are ours, unless stolen!

-Nat-
All NATs shall enjoy a peaceful stay at what I believe is one of the most organized, and lag-free scripting area, all GS2! The Nats shall be reponsible for creating what most players enjoy and play around with. All scripts uploaded to our server are ours, unless stolen!

-Dev-
Devs are the beautiful people who on this server shall enjoy a large slice of pie from each different area... Not much more to say than that...

-Non dev-
Something we are not hiring. Why'd you even read this dorks? o_O

Screenies:

Thanks for reading this far (or just skipping). The current progress of systems on Symphonia are as follows.

Battle |70| Percent
Party |95| Percent
Inventory |90| Percent
Baddies |90| Percent
Shops |10| Percent
Mining |60| Percent
MUDlib |85| Percent
Skills/Spells |40| Percent
Item Usage |60| Percent

All help, that don't really wish to go full time, would still be loved. No abuse will be tolerated.

Sincerly,

The Symphonian staff

Nice thread Aeko

Anyways, some of you guys might remember this thread: http://forums.graalonline.com/forums...ad.php?t=70773

Basicly this is the continuing of that thread, that I've worked on all by myself script-related and with help from an amazing staff team!

Symphonia is one of those servers that has been around a long time.

I'll vouch for them; they do have one of the most organized script systems. Chompy has done a wonderful job.

I wish I was able to help you all, but I'm pretty busy. Most I've been doing lately is posting on forums and working on some scripts for the Code Gallery.

Symphonia's screenshots look great; looks like Black Prince (goes by Caleb now?) still works there?

I wish you guys good luck You're doing a great job.

[Switch]

Nice job
Especially at how good the thread is xD

[Tom]

Wow, dude that forest looks so damn nice

[Chompy]

Ok, thanks to our webmaster Ian, there are some updated/new features on the website http://www.sympgraal.com/

You can only see people on RC, but you can see how many people are only and what the max playercount is.

You can see players to, but you need to allow the applet on the site to see the playerlist

agreed

[Horrified]

I was skeptical about this server because of it "starting over 23049234x", so I finally took a look at it hands-on.

It's lookin' nice 8)

[Vimerge]

i love the concepts

[Mursle]

Well, there isnt a surge in interest to the server and im really need LAT's to help me do this new Gmap on here.

So if anyones interested could you forum PM me or log on the server.

Thanks,

[Galdor]

yes very nice forest but a bit too much contrast, its very much black in it, and the inside tiles looks horrible :P but in general it seems kickass xD

Anyways, we've got alot of new staff, and they're nice to!

We've almost finished our spell system, it works quite good with a charge bar which makes it so, the more you charge the spell, the more the spell will damage.

We've also used some time on fixing bugs, and custom profiles have been done! (Thanks Dan <3)

Anyways, we still need staffs tho, so you can send me a pm, post on our forums
(forums.sympgraal.com || www.sympgraal.com/forums/)
or logon on the server and pm a staff online

[Mursle]

Still no one on that LAT front with me

but anyways, I have been working on some parts of gmap and a new inside level lol, I'll add more soon

[Darklux]

Those screenshots are kickass.
Iam thinking about actually helping :O

[ChrizP2P]

Looking good Mursle!

[Mursle]

Thank you for the comments and if you would like to contribute anything at all just contact me

[Tigairius]

Pretty nice server, I would almost want to help this place out. I really really like your website too, kudos. The thing is, this is what most servers should look like, not look like crap like most of the servers. So this isn't anything that special, but the fact that a lot of others seem to be ... unable ... to achieve what you have achieved causes your server to stand out.

[Clockwork]

Thanks...? o_o

Also, that's sort of an old website. I don't know if its a secret or if no-one just told anybody but we have a brand new website that I believe is much better! I will be uploaded sometime, it's up to Ian. It even has a matching theme for out forums lol.

Also today, custom emotions were made, replacing all the old ones on symphonia ( they won't replace the old ones all together, just on symp!) xD

[Mursle]

Here is another screenshot showing the new custom emotions and the new roof style that was made last night, Im not sure about it yet. So could anyone give me some input on if you like or not. (We are still using the other style too) .

Oh and the level is stilll a WIP xD

[Rufus]

I'm aware how hard original insides (or even insides in general for some people) can be, but the current style you're using, for me, downgrades the rest of your work, sadly.

Did you edit Dusty's tree by the way? The roots area with the random green pixels around looks really off in my opinion. For example, look at how different it looks from the right (current version) to the left in this image. It just currently looks pretty annoying.

[Mursle]

Yeah I know the insides arent as good as the outsides, that is because they are really old levels. I plan to remake them.

And the tree edit, I couldnt say if it was edited cause I didn't make the tileset.

[Darklux]

I wouldnt say the insides are uggly, but their style doesnt fit to the seriously cool overworld.

[Mursle]

So most people think that the overworld is better than the insides? :P

and btw, im going to see what I can do with the insides and see if I can get them to the same standard as the overworld.

[Clockwork]

I like the insides ;_;

[Mursle]

Well taking into consideration that some of you thought our inside levels were not so good, we tried a different approach and this is what we came up with,

So can you give us any imput on this?

[Chompy]

Ian has now released our new website! Registration is atm temporary limited to admins but feel free to look around

http://www.sympgraal.com


We've also updated the screenshot thread at our forum! http://forums.sympgraal.com/showthread.php?p=1608

[Clockwork]

Updates!

Thanks to all the players we've had recently, we've fixed a lot of bugs! Also, they've given us a few ideas too. We have released a few things to players, 2 dungeons, a couple weapons, and soon we will release gold and shops, baddies and such will also start dropping things soon...

Short update o.o; But ah' well! xD

[zokemon]

I checked the server out (just the main GUI scripts and such really; I didn't leave the main level) and I liked what I saw. Keep up the good work!

[Mursle]

Well I still need some Level makers help but now that we have Chicken helping us now. things can move a bit faster.
But more level makers would be good so if some of you would help us please

PS The tileset is attached on this post.

[xAndrewx]

The tileset is strange... it's like you've put a dark effect on it. You're aware that you can make custom dark effects through scripts...right?

[Mursle]

Yeah we are aware of that, but recently there has been a new edit to the tileset, here it is

[Codein]

Looks nice
