It was previously the tileset for Gladeious ^_^ Me, rogue and DeCeased worked on it previously on my last server and it never got finished. But the tileset seems to match my new idea so I thought I would use this unless I,
A) Get a talented GFX
B) Get them to construct a tileset
C) Use that tileset

I think the creator was in fact Sage (DeCeased) Good times we had on that server.

EDIT: V5 clients can no longer play Lexia due to a very high number of errors with the functionality on Lexia using the V5 client.

Added new GUI Bitmap images for the server. I don't have any other staff apart from myself at the moment, so I had to make them myself. They are crappy, but fit better than the Blue GUI that didn't match Lexia in the slightest.

Added a 2x2 lumbering gmap. You can go there and lumber all the wood you want! Have fun

Pick a different font color...like a light brown or tan for the gui

[Emera]

I just put up a very nice little addition to logging in to Lexia. The server logo appears in the middle of your screen and fades away into the background.


I am now going to start on the *gulp*... Weapon system X_X This will be fun, unless anybody wants to help?

Just wow, Now I know why Zodiacs images are so horrid.
Is this a hiring thread or a concept thread?

Used from Dustys free image thread, I think. Trees look like Atlantis sort of.

Below is some server content that I hope you will all like. I have now added a theme tune to Lexia that players on login that can be previewed here. Also, the login title screen with lexia that fades away has a smoother animation and now zooms out towards the player. I am still looking for a Graphics artist more than anything at the moment to create a newer tileset. If anybody would like to help out, send me a forum PM or an email to [email protected]

cool

I made an attack system like FF7 (with the attack > run > items > other stuff) for Delteria when they decided not to use it. let me know if you want it.
(not fully finished, but its fun)

Paying Developers

We will be paying our developers, if they wish to be payed, and can be payed via real money (PayPal). Information can be found here. It would be really helpful if people wanting to be payed could set up a paypal account, since I don't really feel comfortable paying in other ways.

Updates

The nicknames have been upgraded, and have a larger size, but I have disabled the /nicksize command, since it isn't needed anymore. The preview of the nicknames is attached below. The nickname GANI was produced by DeCeased and not me. I merely tweaked it.

Players are also not disconnected because of their graal version anymore. They were disconnected because the server doesn't "play nice" with V5 players and causes a lot of bugs with the V5 client too, but I have updated the server PM and it now has a direct download link to the V6 client on the GraalOnline site.

I have been working on an NPC store, so players can buy the pickaxe instead of having it given to them on login, but the auto-give of the axe won't be removed until the store is up and running.

The lumber map is has actually been added some detail with flowers and such, and isn't just a load of trees. On that note, the lumber axe wait-before-slash time has been decreased slightly. This means faster money making.

Work has now started on the GMAP.

If anybody is interested in helping, since I am the only staff member there, can you drop me a forum PM, post here or email me at [email protected]
We could use your help!

A skilled coder will be payed slightly more than the other developers ;)

[Emera]

Started work on the main map! Thank you and congratulations to the new staff!

Volken - Levels
Mercy - Graphics

I hope now we can get somewhere! Get the ball rolling!

The custom GUI bitmaps are currently in development, so hope to be seeing them soon along with some level images! Thank you mercy for them

Inventory image is finished, now it just needs programming.

Just to let you know - I will be looking for a creative writer to construct the Lexia playerworld page on the GraalBible page. They will need to have a good understanding of the language English and also be above average in the area of writing and have a good understanding of Gramar. PM me or email me at [email protected] to apply

Because I firmly believe that players should move away from the V5 client and towards the V6 client, I am starting to put in place some motivation to download and use the V6 client. Because my server has certain issues with the V5 client, I have to put in place some sort of message to say that game play will be much butter if you use the updated client. I came up with a little message bar at the top of the screen. Simple, using polygons and a multi line text box, I think it gets the message across. Images are attached below. I don't know if anybody wants to use it, so if you do, you can find the script here.

Also, I have added to the lumbering GMAP, some wind sound effects, since you are likely to hear trees rustling if you are around a lot of trees. Go and check it out The Axe GANI is currently being worked on, so hope to be seeing that soon.

Those are some old Eden/Esteria tiles. Where did you get them?

Not that I know of? These tiles were made from a combination of sage's graphics skill and some of dusty's tiles I think. I am looking for a Graphics artist capable of developing a new tileset however. Obviously, if it is causing any problems, I can have the tiles removed immediately.
