halls this sounds awesome and I want to jump aboard on this and offer any help.

[hallsofvallhalla]

kewl i could use a good coder to help. I am going to close the forums of urban realms and place a new forums up for this game. I am quite serious about seeing this one to the end. I will let you know when I get everything up and going.

[Lord Strife]

ok cool beans just send me a pm when you get it up

[hallsofvallhalla]

yes I have done it!

it may not be much to some of you but I got my mapping system done

i basically turned this


into this



it takes a series of letters and maps them out to divs. Its much like the old C++ mapping systems of games. Its very dynamic in the fact extremely large dungeons can be build with very little database usage.

Basically what you are seeing is a mini map. It will be text style linking but with a mini map! The black squares are walls. I can now add in creatures, exits, treasure, ect.

[OldRod]

LOL, cool!

[hallsofvallhalla]

"collision detection" is finished



if you notice to the west is a wall and the player cannot travel west.

[hallsofvallhalla]

well travel system is complete. Each square now gives players choices of travel and encounters, treasures, or exits.



Working on combat next.

[OldRod]

I take it the player is in the center square?

Looks pretty cool

[hallsofvallhalla]

yes, I need to change the player color from blue

The other thing is I used ajax for movement. No url variables. All internal server hits that cannot be manipulated.

I spent some time last night before bed and wrote the combat system (on paper) not coded, and I am very happy with it. It is different from my other combat systems.

Basically all weapons have a skill level. Depending on your own skill level of that weapon type you can add or subtract from the accuracy. Basically if the weapon has a higher skill level than you then its harder to hit but you can still use the weapon. Armor works somewhat the same but uses damage types.
