Hey it's drider. I have all the people we need to get the map up and going, so this is the discussion thread for our map. For people that don't know what it is, ask here.

So... I'm on the team, right? Assisting with the password system (I wouldn't want to steal the job so I'll just try to improve what he does with it if I can)

Also I can do that trigger-based skills system like you wanted. Almost all of the skills in RO would easily be done through triggers, so you'll be able to have every skill in the game (room for the buttons thanks to TertiaryEye's spellbook demonstration) and get each spell up to level 10, or a different level for specific skills, and with prerequisites too. You get a skill point each job level and job levels are kept seperatly from base level. On base level you get a stat point to spend where you want.
All of the skills and stats will be HEAVILY trigger based but that's fine with me.

I should be able to do this pretty easily but I need to know if it's how you want it. If you don't want it like this then let me know how you would rather have it. I can do a lot with triggers so anything is fine with me.


And for anyone who's curious I guess I'll brag about it now because it's going to be great. If you've played the map, Legacies: Tides of the Serpent, then your already familiar with a password based system, but here are some unique features with ours. Our password is optimized to be as short as possible, because each digit can be 0-9, a-z, A-Z (case sensitive). This means that we can store more information in very few characters. We will also store a lot more information. Though we are not certain yet, it may memorize what you spent your stat and skill points in, and we may even have it memorize the name of the user who was playing, so that the password won't work if another user name tries to enter it (no more sharing your character). We've also created a method of protecting the password so that you can not alter your character just by changing a few values. I can't tell you exactly how it works, but if you want to try to figure out how to change something, it will be a LOT more trouble than its worth, almost any time you try to change a character in the password, the password will become unusable. The only authentic working passwords will have to be received from the game instead of just guessed at random.

Well these are just features of the saving system, but it doesn't stop there! This project is going to blow you away when it's done. Of course I don't have all the details since I'm only a triggerer, but the things that I am working on now are very impressive, and this is going to be like nothing you've ever seen before!

Uhh, sorry if you didn't want all that info released Drider, but I figured it would be good to get people excited about this. Can't ever have too much excitement! :D

Aedon, right now all we need is either a skinner/modeller or a seriously good terrain artist. But if we need anything else, we'll contact you.

This is actually the new thread. The old thread was 3 pages long and constantly at the top of the list. But first tell me what your preferences are again. I forgot.
