8)Level based rank system
9)Graphics overall
10)How to add different item types, healing, combat, ranged(changing previous if needed)
Thats all i can think of at the moment, i may edit it from time to time to add things to it
What is the point of adding graphics? It is my understanding that the graphics Halls uses are not publicly usable (aka you must make your own, as he either owns a personal license for them, or they are unlicensed and just used as placeholders; I am not sure which or if a mixture of both), so there really isn't much of a point. Anyway, here are my thoughts on your list:
1. I can see that, but I think some people have made their own and put up the code, but I don't quite remember.
2. There has been a lot of requests for that, so that would definitely be worthy of something to add. Of course you have to keep in mind that real-time PvP is very difficult in a PBBG, so it may not be what you are expecting.
3. See my note above about graphics. If you just mean you want to know
how to add monster graphics, that is very easy. Just clarify if that is what you mean, and I can easily tell you.
4. Never played "The West", but if you are picking a pre-made avatar, that would be very easy as well. Just another field to store in the database, and then use that field reference whenever you want to use the avatar image on a page.
5. I believe Halls has a map system in one of the other tutorial series. Hold off on that until you finish this tutorial series, as you will run into it down the line.
6. Make a whole forum?! That is not what this tutorial is about. There are tons of tutorials out there for making message board systems, but to make one that even approaches the power of phpBB is an insane amount of work. Use a pre-made forum, for sure. Making one from scratch is a whole, huge project in itself.
7. Again, there are tons of tutorials out there for making websites. Millions, probably. But it is about making something uniquely your own, and that just takes practice.
8. You mean a ranking page that all players can see that creates a "Top <blank> Players" page, like highest level, most kills, etc.? There are a couple of tutorials floating around the forum here for that already.
9. Again, see note above about graphics.
10. This would be a good update, as some items do have some tricky logic to get fully integrated into the game.
