Making The Game 7\. Final 8\. Credits **************** **************************************************************** 1\. Starting Out First of all You should first make a title for your game, which can be changed from the Data.ini in your server folder. While your there think of if you want scrolling maps, paperdoll, 32x32 or 32x64. Pros And Cons 32x32: Works great with non-scrolling map. Resources: A good paperdoll sheet: http://www.createforum.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=2274&highlight=32x32&mforum=marsh0 A 32x32 sprite converter: http://files.filefront.com/Sprite_Programzip/;5132963;;/fileinfo.html 32x64: Works great with scrolling map due to it's large size. Resources: A good paperdoll sheet: http://www.createforum.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=5283&highlight=32x32&mforum=marsh0 A good sprite sheet: http://www.createforum.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=2779&highlight=32x32&mforum=marsh0 A 32x64 sprite converter: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=H2XZQJXG Papredoll: It is harder on the 32x32 due to not many people use this. People like Kay-No have made 32x64 easier. *Note there are many more resources please use the search button. ************************************************************ 2\. Scripts This furom has many helpfull scripts, you can also request one. http://www.createforum.com/phpbb/viewforum.php?f=3&mforum=marsh0 ************************************************************ 3\. Experience & Level Now decide if you want a custom experience system. Don't forget the max llevel though. Pros and Cons Default: No work at all. Custom: A lot of work but give more uniqueness. Max Level: When making a max level make sure it's not too hard with the experience and all. ************************************************************ 4\. Filtering Do you want cursing or no cursing, you can change all that in the Data.ini ************************************************************ 5\. GFX Use the resources from part 1 too.
