Beyond Shadow Dragons

CyanideSR71 · #1 07-06-2001, 01:29 AM

This message is from the actual Cyanide SR71, not from Vexlocks (sp?) or anyone else who has been using my forum account.

For one glorious year Shadow Dragons has served its fellow Graalians with clever NPCs, beautiful level, and great graphics in which many have enjoyed and glorified. At it's sorrowful fate due to the death of a server and a lack of organization, many have come to us and mourned (sorta) because of the sad end. I, Cyanide SR71, former Shadow Dragon, have decided to start a new site to share scripts, levels, and graphics for all to see, criticize, and help improve. I shall call it 'Graalian Head Quaters' (yes, I'm out of any good names, please give me a good one). Who here would like to help staff this site?

Easier said than done. We did say that they could take them if they gave credit to the creators and if they asked. But of corse not even these simple guidelines would be followed, and thus I start riots on their servers =P. Hehe, why do you think EL got shocked so badly, and Delteria had to remove all of its stolen goods?

Npulse? I thought Lord Saga removed all of our NPCs...
Well... I have friends there who could take them down... I hate it when people turn good NPCs into cliches.

Semi good NPCs?
Sure, most of them aren't the greatest, but that's not our goal.
It's to teach people how to script better by looking at other scripts, and to advertise our knowlege a bit to get jobs as well...

OMG Shadow Dragons stuff on N-Pulse? Where?

Solareon · #6 07-06-2001, 03:19 AM

they ripped on your s*** so badly (not sayin that to be mean but you are semi good scripters but Dino Valley has lots of your scripts on their server)

CyanideSR71 · #7 07-06-2001, 03:30 AM

Bah, if I ever spent more than a minute on Dino Valley maybe I could tell...
But noone wants to help make the site?

Cyanide, I'd like to help you with the site if I can. I'm not sure how much I can offer in ways of web page design, because I only know HTML, nothing fancy, but I certainly would like to help with the NPC's themselves, and maybe be a message board moderator if you'd like.

1) Just call it Shadow Dragons again
2) If you don't want idiots stealing your scripts, don't post complete scripts. Post snippets if you must. ie this is the guts of a HP bar: showimg, changeimgvis etc...if they can figure out how to make a System NPC to show it, fine, if they can't, tough.

SO YOUNG SO ANGRY DAM THAT RAP MUSIC

actually make npc's that are obvious if people steal . and if they do talk to the owners to take em down. if they dont talk to mr bear or stefan to review the pw.
like hookshot . obvious =D

Just use a copyright note at the top of your scripts. If you catch them, they can get in trouble, because I know Stefan respects copyrights on scripts. I had one on the bomy boot script that said I made the bomy script, and only I could use it, so I had to say he could use it when he asked me about it.

CyanideSR71 · #12 07-06-2001, 08:58 AM

Unfortunately Thym, the name 'Shadow Dragons' is Ukyo's, so I shouldn't use it.
As for those other tips, thankyou! It takes a lot out of my work in forcing the PW to take them down.
Shard, sure you can join, but I'm going to need quite a few more staff to start this...

You ought to call it something like Graalscript Workshop, or NPC Exchange. Graalian Head Quarters sounds nothing like a learning site. =)
