well the gui isnt matching just yet. We're happy enough atm to have our gui fully scripted and working on bigger projects on the server. I'll be pming you a link to our tileset max. So if you wanted to help still, more then welcome. As far as gfx goes, we've been working on tileset, boats, mounts, signs, pretty much everything a nice server needs. The gui ill hopefully fix tomorrow if i have the time.

I am, though I am going to be up front about my activity now. I work quite a bit so my activity on Graal would be around 1-2 hours a day. If that is acceptable than I'm happy to work.

Also wondering whether or not you have a custom movement system, and if it supports layer detection. I was going to work for Classic but they don't have layer support.

Layer support in Classic's movement system would be very easy to add (including making some layers blocking, others not, etc.), it's just that using layers forces everyone into using gonstruct and we don't exactly have a use for layers besides cleaning up levels a little bit which is not high enough priority compared to having a streamlined development process.

layered levels look better, and would (in my opinion) speed up development. No longer do you need an image to do the job a tile could perform, all your tiles going together seamlessly. In my opinion as a level artist, layering is the future of level editing, and not adding support for it is pretty foolish.

We have a movement system, and we use layers on levels. Not sure if that means what you're saying. Our movement system is still based off default stuff.

I only asked because Thor led me to believe it was impossible to support layers with a custom system.

So our jail system is done. There is one aspect to it I'm not going to post on here, get jailed and see for youself or walk around in the right spot and you'll see.

The way it works is only 3 of each type can be "jailed" at a time, otherwise you wait in a "waiting room" for a spot to open. It may seem unfair on the possibilities on how long you have to wait for your jail time to actually start, but thats kind of the point is for jail to suck no? So don't get jailed with a ton of other people or you may be waiting a while. Once you are actually jailed, you get warped out of the waiting area, and into stocks, being hanged, or another type. Time will then start to count down, as normal. We're making dumb little ganis and images so you can throw tomatoes and other wonderful vegetables at people who are in jail.

3 different types, that go with our rules from worst to worsest. :P Heres pillory and getting hung.

yeah, cause you can do that on every server, which would make it unoriginal.

Well we're working hard on it all. The town will be complete besides 4 more insides needed to lat/dev. Once i finish little more tiles, concepts, along with little more gfx and inside cave levels, i will be hiring. The town will be complete, with another southern lizardon town and a lizardon theme storyline and first main quest will be done within 2 more weeks. So look forward to us opening the gmap for viewable gold players. (THE OSL WILL BE UNLOCKED)

Also max, i would like you to view the playerworld if u could. I know u got in observer mode but please let the 5-10 mins pass and view what we're working on. I would love to show you everything.

Also im currently working on ganis. As important as levels and gfx, ganis will be the main part of the server. There will be 2H greatswords, 2H axes, 1H spears / swords with shields as our weapons. There wont be advantages with these weapons, they are all timed with classic graal sword and distence. So the server itsself is classic yet with a RP feel. Graal is all about looks basically, so if u like 2H axes, u can have it! and no advantages in a spar, pk, ect.

Something we've added to give our server a complete feel for all graal players.

Travel is also a huge part of the server. So we have mounts like chariots, waggons (to have guild members, or players ride along) with 6-man ore ships, to 1 man ore ships, Things like that will include jobs for merchants, and hiring npcs or players to help sail your own ship!

Flying dragons are also already gfxed and gani by me. So scripting is all we need left for many structures to be accomplished.

We also have a horizon, in the makings. The gfx are done but the script is still in the makings. There will be a sun that rises in the west, and sets in the east, and it moves according to the server time (day/night) a moon will also follow its pattern along with stars that light at night. Like i said, all the gfx and tiles are done for it, so the development of the server is going strong. I've basically done 100% of all the gfx besides few inside and treetops and trunk (thanks lifebound for the images)

So in the next few weeks, expect openings and hopefully a preview date set soon!

From what Decus could show me from the short visit I paid, Armageddon is primed to become one of Graal's cornerstone servers. The amount of detail put into their work is amazing, they put a lot of effort into the smallest things and that is what really catches me. I've never seen a server of this quality.
