Got new software to make the site, Macromedia Dreamweaver 2, Thanks mom!

Hmm thats not a very nice site, Try getting HTML commands of FREE Source sites and making a better one!

Also no one (well not many) will join without:

Screenshots Of LEVELS on YOUR server.
A Woth While Story Line.

Also May I Add:

Putting a PASSWORD Shower on your Graal site isnt that good, It has nothing to do with graal really, Why not put your MAP up.

Also you say 43 Levels, You NEED atleast 400 (Maybe 450 Now)

[RiViR]

Ok, thanks for the tips,
WE dont have a map yet because we dont have the faintest idea how to do a good one, and we DO have a storyline. Plus, Angelfire doesnt like screenshots .

::shakeshead in disgust::

Why would you hire somone you don't know as an admin? I was being sarcastic, but I guess I'll need to be blunt with you.

You don't want to hire alot of staff before your server gets online; maybe once it's sent in to be reviewed you can pick up a GP, FAQ, or something, be caredul who you make staff, and how much power you give. Make all your staff work to advance. Oh, and don't trust-- pay attention. Humans are imperfect beings, trusting one another will only cause pain when that trust is inevitabily broken.

Urizen :o

[RiViR]

Please note thats why i dont do the hiring
The only ones i hire are those that I aproach because i now there good.
PShow do you make maps using the "m" buton?

FrontPage is pretty easy.

Make an NPC first, usualy the map goes in your system NPC:

-----------------------------
// NPC made by Urizen (Admin)

if (created) {
setmap ,overworld_map.txt,,;
setminimap ,overworld_map.txt,,;
}

if (playerenters) {
if (!isweapon) {
toweapons -system-;
}
}

-----------------------------

*Note that creating the NPC with "-"'s arround the name makes it hidden.

your overworld_map.txt should contain the levels in order:

e.g. for a 4 level map (2 x 2) your map file would contain:
-----------------------------

"overworld_0,0.graal","overworld_1,0.graal"
"overworld_0,1.graal","overworld_1,1.graal"

-----------------------------

you can also set images for your map's most people now-a-days leave the "m" map image blank, but add one for the mini-map. I like to do both.

Here is an example of the modified system NPC with map images:

-----------------------------
// NPC made by Urizen (Admin)

if (created) {
setmap big-map-image.png, overworld_map.txt,0,0;
setminimap mini-map-image.png, overworld_map.txt,0,0;
}

if (playerenters) {
if (!isweapon) {
toweapons -system-;
}
}

-----------------------------

Hope that helped a little.

Urizen :o

Urizen

[RiViR]

[iniquitus]

It's not looking good for you if your trying to start a PW and you don't even know the basics of making a map...

Urizen

[mhermher]

I would never know i would be this dissapointed. :o

1. I found illegal graphics thats on Faheria.
2. I found illegal image that graal uses
3. This is the worst, even graals tileset use stolen images.
4. I found small trees and mountains i seen in alota places, like Doragon Koden, Pandora and alota more i dont remembero ff... theres a skelleton image thats stole too... graal uses it!

[RiViR]

oh, i will post my map a bit l8r now.
when i put it up i need an estimate of where the 0,0 coordinates should be, thanks!
I am good with the other things, i jsut could never figure out the maps, i have been nat chief and lat chief on other servers

[RiViR]

oh, lets see if i can figure out how to put up these images, btw, i figured out my question




Note:these are only the levels that I have done for the overworld!
there are another 50 or so levels

[RiViR]
