@Serenade:
> I'll be honest Robin, I was expecting you to bring that up sooner or later.
>
> Giving the completely honest answer here; I've had that in there for some time now. I had the "Return to Game" and "Exit" thing since late July, early August (Ask Bean, or Aaron, if you like.), but I did, admittedly, get the idea of having options in the pause menu from CS. Didn't occur to me, then.
>
> But still, I understand that CS was more or less the first to have a pause button, but, I don't understand the big deal, Rob's (Samu) done it too…if it reassures you more, as I don't think you'll believe me, when pausing, you can't be attacked, and you're instantly declared AFK while in-game, and there's a combat timer. The ONLY thing directly from CS on that is the options choice.
I don't think Robin cares so much of you having a pause menu as much as he cares about you taking the exact copy right from CS. Rather than making your own, you have a screen of the CS one. -
Looks pretty good so far.
Not sure what Robin's quote is supposed to mean but ok. -
Glad to see things are turning back around and still going. The server is starting to collect dust again. I'll be cleaning it up this weekend probably. I am possibly going to upgrade the Hard drive a huge amount which will involve upgrading from win server 2003 to 2008\. Also getting a new cooling unit and LAN adapter for it so it'll be a new gigabit line.

Looks pretty awesome so far. Let me know if you need help with mapping or anything of that sort.

@Gianni:
> 1 word. Hero Engine.
1 word. No.
Lol, sorry dude, no offense, but I have already looked into them and they require you to go through them for all financial transactions. this game will run off of money out of my pocket and once the server is up, donations as well. If I used HeroEngine, they would take 30% of the donations. I have no issue paying for an engine and having it for life with out having to pay the company. -
@crzy:
> Xjocent/XFalcon usually takes like 2-3 days to respond. He is a member of my site and I know he can't always get online. Give hime time and im sure he will get back to you.
I'm gunna say it's been about 2 weeks now. -
As many of you have noted, I haven't posted shit lately. Well that's cause i had a lapse of giving up. :(
As for XJocent, he volunteered to help do some modeling but after sending about 3 pm's, he dropped communication and can no longer be reached so I can only assume he doesn't wish to help. Anyway, of course, I am looking for help still. I really do want to do this. It may not be very big or anything but it doesn't need to be. I plan to have it start small. Maybe only have a level cap of 15, 3 wilderness areas, and 2 towns for the alpha.
I will be *attempting* to make some zones for the towns, wildernesses and such. will hopefully have some screens soon of progress again. -
Sent you a private message.

Story line updated

Screen shots added

So after some time of actually partially thinking some things through, I have decided to stop working on my game in PHP and move on. I will try to keep some updates here on progress of what's happening, plans, and possibly even betas for some people, if things are going good like I hope. Below is what I have so far. None of this is final quite yet, just possibilities.
Storyline:
>! Days after a brutal attack on the small village of Midland, much evil was released upon the lands of Escana. Monsters everywhere were appearing from unknown sources and causing meyhem across the lands. However, one small child had grown to become a hero. A small farmer's boy that no one had ever suspected of being so triumphant in his deeds. After the assassination of the most recent king, there was no heir. Anarchy had reigned the lands with the wealthiest controlling every piece of dust they could grow profit from. However, this small child Edmond Selwyn, now a full grown adult and hero, once a child of peasant farmers, now rules the lands. With his powers, he rose up first removing all those who had only looked to benefit themselves rather than the people. Everything began to be normal once again. The mysterious monsters have either vanished or been killed. Trading, producing, manufacturing, and the general life of a person has once again been restored to normal. However, there was one unknown man who greatly dispised the new King Edmond. A mage who has been alive for over 300 years studying the dark arts has unleashed hell upon Escana. Using this magic, he was able to bring new monsters to the lands that were much worse than ever before. Terrorizing and destroying towns, the full power of this mage was unleashed quickly claiming rule over the peaceful area. With everything happening so quickly and surprising, the king had no idea as to what to do. His army was quickly diminishing and and scattered out through out everywhere defending cities with all of their strength. Now, in need of an army, the King has opened the doors to people around Escana to become their own mercenary and begin taking back the lands.

here's some screen shots of progress so far.
>! 
Create your character here. Of course, I'm not good at all when it comes to modeling hence the huge head and smaller body.
>! 
Here's the character select screen after you login. I'll be trying to come up with a better area for this. I'm not a fan of the room.
>! 
Here's the actual game world. just my first map. Had to cut off the bottom cause it went through my task bar. Anyway, as you can see, gui, compass, health and most of it is quite basic and needs redone. Texture quality is not too great yet.
>! 
This is the login screen. Hope to spice it up a little later.
More will be added eventually. If anyone is truly interested at all, please send me a PM and we will be in contact. -
So I figured I might as well just be like everyone else and post a WIP thread for future uses. This is my first game I've ever started making using the eclipse engine so it should be interesting. Now that being said, you may, or may not, wonder as to why this is number 2\. The original Fight To Kill game was created in PHP. It was/is an orpg, though since not many people are into text orpgs, i ceased development on it. so, finding this engine about a year ago, i started messing around with it. First with EE, then bumped up to EO. Was a mapper for a few other small games still in development, but they aren't very active at all and one ceased its work completely so I decided to start this.
The first FTK game was a quite simple one with the usual story-line, "Kid growing up wants to be a hero, something happens in his life, parents are murdered, sister murdered, kid was hiding, runs outside screaming, decides he need to figure things out." As stated, I never actually finished that one but here was the full story
>! As a young boy, you grew up on a small farm with your parents and your sister. Your father had taught you many things about being a man. He attempted to have you work on the farm with him but was stressed from you always daydreaming about growing up to be a great warrior. Your mother had taught you many lessons of life on how to treat others kindly and always encouraged you saying "if you really want to be a warrior if that is what your heart truely desires, please son follow your heart and become a warrior. But do not forget that everyone has limits and please do not try to become power hungry."
>! Each day grew on you. Every day another lesson from your mother and father. One evening as your family and yourself were sitting at the table having dinner, you heard a stampede of horses outside and men yelling. Then it all went quiet for a moment…
*knock* *knock*
Your father yells, "Who's there?"
*knock* *knock*
A face appears at the window by the door and shouts, "By order of the king, we demand you to open!"
>! Your father tells your sister and you both to quickly run into the celler and hide. After doing so, your father slides his chair across the wood floor and gets up to open the door. But it bursts open and men flood into the room weilding swords and torches.
>! You hear screams above you in the dining room and yell for your parents. Your sister grabs you and asks to play hide and seek. she tells you to go hide somewhere no one could find you and she will look for you. after searching for a few moments, you find a place to hide in a smallhole in the wall . as you squeeze into the hole, you hear your sister scream.
>! Could it be?
Could they really?
Would they really kill my sister?
Could this be a bad dream?
>! You shut your eyes and cover your ears trying to block out the noise and after a few minutes, silence. You continue to cover your ears to avoid having to hear more and slowly begin to fall asleep.
.........
>! A few hours later, you wake up to silence. Your run around shouting for your sister.
No reply.
You run up to the dining room and scream for your mother and father.
No reply.
"Where could they be?"
You sprint out of the dining room, out the door, off of the porch and look out into the field but there is nothing to see, save the crops that grow.
>! *you begin to cry and fall to the hard ground*
"Why would everyone just leave? what happened here last night? I have to find them. I have to find out what happened!"
So, I had just come up with this story in about 5 minutes, so please excuse any mistakes. Its obviously not the final version, just a rough copy.
>! Days after a brutal attack on the small village of Midland, much evil was released upon the lands of Escana. Monsters everywhere were appearing from unknown sources and causing meyhem across the lands. However, one small child had grown to become a hero. A small farmer that no one had ever suspected of being so triumphant in his deeds. After the assassination of the most recent king, there was no heir. Anarchy had reigned the lands with the wealthiest controlling every piece of dust the could grow profit from. However, this small child Edmond Selwyn, now a full grown adult and hero, once a child of peasant farmers, now rules the lands.

His army was quickly diminishing and and scattered out through out everywhere defending cities with all of their strength. Now, in need of an army, the King has opened the doors to people around Escana to become their own mercenary and begin taking back the lands.
Now, I plan to pretty much try to base this off of that (use same towns/map layout, and some of the story) for this new game.
Not much is done so far, but I have a good amount of free time each day so I hope to accomplish a good amount of work between now and tomorrow.
For now, I am using some of the original EO tiles, though there are many that are not that will be used such as Gilead.
Current dev team:
>! * Frankpetrov - Creator
Help needed:
>! * Mappers 0/2
* Scripter 0/1
* Sprite Maker 0/1
>! If you are interested in one of these positions, please private message me and I will get back to you asap.
Gameplay so far.
>! Players will begin in the tutorial world to get their first few basic items and skills. Once complete, they will then go on to the beginner "starter" town of Gilead.
The map for FTK1

8/27/2011: Story-line for game created and added. -
Also, what are credit cards for? I have a shit ton of them and don't know what to use them for as yo9u can't sell them.
-
I think something may be wrong with the leveling as well. lol right now i have a level 1 thug with 1026/5 experience.
-
nah, you're welcome. twas no trouble at all.
-
alright, cool. fricken slow upload speeds… well here it is... [http://www.fighttokillgaming.info/hogwartsmmorpg.rar](http://www.fighttokill.info/hogwartsmmorpg.rar) everything is there for a fact with the latest update.
-
while this is uploading, what program are you using to unzip files?
-
give me a moment and i'll upload it all for you.
-
once you download this [http://hogwartsmmorpg.webs.com/update/client9.rar](http://hogwartsmmorpg.webs.com/update/client9.rar) you have to use a program like winrar to unzip the files. extract all the files into a folder. open that folder and double click Hogwarts MMORPG. thats the client. click register. make an account, then login. done :D
-
you are using a windows operating system correct?
-
if you had more RAM and a better cpu such as an AMD x64 6core @ 3.30ghz processor… then I'd think about it. but unfortuantely, your server doesn't seem good enough for more than 2 or 3 game servers.
-
1st edit is to keep other people from using your client for their own game or from players using your client for other servers.
Step 1: Open up the Client in VB6
Step 2: search for "frmMain.Socket.RemoteHost = "Options.IP" without the quotes, in the modClientTCP.
Step 2: change Options.IP to whatever your IP will be.
Step 3: Delete the IP line in the config file for the client.
Done.
2nd edit is actually quite easy. this is a server edit though. it logs and shows in the console everytime someone spawns an item so you can catch any abusing admins/mods. it gives the item number and how many.
Step 1: Open up the server in VB6
Step 2: Search for "SpawnItem tmpItem, tmpAmount, GetPlayerMap(index), GetPlayerX(index), GetPlayerY(index)" without the quotes, in modHandleData.
right below it, copy and paste this code:
```
Call AddLog(GetPlayerLogin(index) & " has spawned item number " & tmpItem & " to the amount of " & tmpAmount & " On map " & GetPlayerMap(index) & ".", PLAYER_LOG)
Call TextAdd(GetPlayerLogin(index) & " has spawned item number " & tmpItem & " to the amount of " & tmpAmount & " On map " & GetPlayerMap(index) & ".")
```Done!
Don't forget to compile them afterwards of course. These may have already been released but i could not find it. I hope these help someone.
