Dark Crusade

I've decided to practice making Signature bars for whoever wants one. I would consider myself to be good at both custom GFX and mapping, but now i've decided to try out making some sigs. I havnt really made sigs before, so they wont be professional or anything, I just want you guys to give me signature bars to make for you (which would be good practice for me) So if you would like for me to give it a shot, post here specifying the following information: >Titles,subtitles/text (what text would you like on your signature bar?) >Color scheme (Any specific colours you would like on the signature bar?) >Style (what style would you like? eg- Fantasy, medieval, modern, magical, war, science etc) >Theme (what theme would you like on it? eg- fire, death, or whatever) >And also whatever else you would like me to try to implement into the signature bar. Thanks, and ill try my best (and it will also be good practice for me :P) Btw- Do not pm me signature bar requests, or they will go unanswered.

Here is a preview of the Second Dungeon- The Crypts, which is under the Aslerok Cemetary. This is a large image, and make take a while to load. It is a map representing a small portion of the dungeon. The crypts has a small twist to it, which will be revealed to you in the game. There is also some puzzles to keep you entertained, (or stressed lol). And also, there is also a variety of undead opponents in this dungeons, who's bodys have been re-animated by a dark magic.  Please rate/critic and keep in mind that this is only a small section of the dungeon. Thanks

**Map Preview** Just thought I'd upload a few of my maps, and show you guys. Let me know what you think of them. Please Rate and crit. Thanks **Latest Map by Me!:**  **Re-making of Ezmeral Glade** The earliest region in the game used different tilesets, and therefore does not fit in with the newer maps, so we will be remapping Ezmeral Glade. Here is a sample of what I have done. Old Map  Edited Map!  Map by Necrosis (moderator/mapper)  Map by Rilos (moderator/mapper) EDIT: This map was recently redone, it looks much better, but unfortunately im too lazy to reload the new screenshot.  Map by Flea and Myself (Flea is the latest addition to Krusade Online. He will be helping occasional mapping and paperdolling) EDIT: Not anymore, Flea isnt part of Krusade Online's staff.  Thanks, and please critic and rate.

After Krusade Online, I am considering making a fan-based game, which will have simular locations, characters, music, weapons, etc and the 'feel' of a popular game. Some of the games i have considering doing a fan based game on include the following. Legend of Zelda Neverwinter Nights (dungeons and dragons) The Elders Scrolls Diablo Resident Evil You can suggest other games for me to consider making a fan sequal to, but I won't make it if i am not very familiar with the game. Also, what are your opinions on fan-based games? What suggestions do you have regarding the games i am considering making fan sequals on? Thanks.

**KRUSADE ONLINE:** Aslerok Preview The second region, Aslerok is almost done. Aslerok is north of Ezmeral. Here are some screenshots of Aslerok: **Ezmeral Pass:** This is the cave which links Ezmeral to Aslerok. This screenshot is the end of the pass, and the entrance to Aslerok.  Aslerok Village, which is situated near the center of Aslerok.  Aslerok Fishing pond, where you use your rods to catch a variety of different fresh water fish, depending on your fishing skill and level.  A campfire abandoned by a bunch of previous travellers, which is now being used to cook their fish.  Aslerok Shrine, a sacred water source which contains the mystic power to heal a travellers wounds. Vials can also be filled up with the fountains water, so that it can be traded or used later.  The Aslerok Cemetary. The crypt has been believed to possess an undead threat, but their presence is unknown to the village-folk.  Please Rate and critic my maps. Thanks

Hey Eclipsers! I've decided to start preparing and showing of some of my custom gfx. I would appreciate feedback, critism and ratings. And also, I am thinking about making gfx tutorials, and also being a gfx critic. Please tell me what you think. By the way, if you have any gfx or mapping you would me to give constructive critism on, instead of just saying 'it sucks', pm me. And let me know if you would like me to make a tutorial on something gfx related. Thank you. ^-^ And for my first gfx showoff, I have made a sequential character sprite. This sprite is on my game- Krusade Online. It is the human class, and i have put together the various steps from when I create the custom sprite, to when i paperdoll it. Here it is (please comment):  Thanks ^-^ EDIT: Change of plans, Kreator's Kustom GFX will now be a constructive critism and help topic. Feel free to post your sprites in for review, or try to follow along with any sequences or tutorials posted to create your own customs. And also, check out other peoples sprites and criticism, you might just learn a thing or two.

BARON : UPLOADED EE1 SOURCE. See announcements forum. http://www.freemmorpgmaker.com/smf/index.php/topic,18321.msg149632.html#msg149632 Im looking for the source for EE1\. Does anyone have it?

How do you post a new topic?  Warned for posting this in the "Questions" forum, and not Forum Games, or Chit Chat, where it would've belonged. OH NOES MEH GOT A WARNING! :angry:

I downloaded the tools with eclipse, and one of them is used to encypt graphics. I encrypted my GFX contents, and in data.ini i set the encrypt type to KFX (that was what i encrypted them in) Yet when i logged into the game i got a 'cannot initialise direct draw' error. How do i properly encrypt the gfx so it works? Thanks

I've set up a static IP address for my computer, my internal IP address is always the same now, but my external one (which other people connect through to join my game) is dynamic still…(always different) Does anyone know of a way to solve this problem so that my IP address is static and everytime i reboot i won't have a new IP address which players on my game need to connect to the server? Does Hamachi have a static IP address? If so i might download and use that. Thanks

Balliztik's making a forum dedicated to all things scripting. The forum will feature script requests, questions, a complete list of Eclipse's commands, an organized script database, scripting tutorials, and will be home to a group I am forming called the League of Scripters. It's not much right now, but once he get some of his scripts and tutorials put on (and possibly some other people's submissions), it will be a pretty good scripting resource. It's a great idea and will help a lot of people (especially me because im not a very good scripter), and will contribute a lot to our games we are making because of all the great scripts there for us to use.

Game names would have to be one of the hardest things to think of for a game. Now i named my game Krusade Online, and i did so before properly thinking out a story. I probably would change it, but i have already put this game name on my website and its URL, all of my GUI's, in emails concerning the game and more and it would be a hassle to change. So i'll be trying to think of a way to adapt and relate the story to the game name. When you hear the game name- 'Krusade Online' what ideas do you get about the game? What does Krusade sound like it means? If you had to guess what the game was about with just this name, what would you think it was about? And also, I'm having trouble thinking of what to call the main city and the name of the world in my game where the game takes place. Any suggestions? Thanks

I'm wondering if there is a way i can use 16x16 tiles instead of 32x32 ones. Is this possible?

I successfully portwarded about 2 weeks ago, and i was able to get my game online and have other people join it. But now i am having an unexpected problem. No one has been able to join my game, i have given them the correct IP address etc. I went into my modem settings and it would not let me open the portwarding page. When i try to do so, it gives me a message saying "You must enter an IP address on the LAN clients page for the selected LAN group to enter this setup" So i went into the LAN clients page, and it asked me to fill out: Enter IP address: Hostname: Mac Address: What would i put in these boxes? Or where would i find out what to put in these boxes? I tried putting my external IP address in and making up a random hostname but that didnt work. Please help..

Im working on making location names for my latest game Krusade Online. I would like your oppinions and/or suggestions for names. I will include a screenshot so that you know that the places look like. Forest Name: Ezmeral Glade? Ael'Rith Forest Emidor Wood Ryvious Wood Everdale Glade Moorbrook Forest Which name do you like best?  And what about main city name ideas? Or empire idea names? Thanks in advance!

when someone in my game gets killed by an npc, it says- you where kille by Npc where do i fix this spellin mistake?

How do i make attack effects, such as when a player attacks a monster, a animated blood splatter effect appears on the monster such as it does in games like err.. Rebellion i think? Please help me, thanks in advance!

To make it a little easier, i've put all the previous recommendations from this thread: http://www.freemmorpgmaker.com/smf/index.php/topic,14824.0.html onto this thread. If you have a recommendation to add, put it on the previous thread, and i'll add it to this list if its a reasonable request. Ok here they are: 1\. When learning a spell, Apart from level being a requirement, it would be good if you could make magic and strength requirements on spells. For example: Firebolt- Requirements: Str-2 Magic-4 Lvl- 2 Class- Spellcaster 2\. Even Bigger Monsters (bigger then 'big npcs') 3\. Ability to make characters as "big npcs", and make items bigger in the paperdoll sheet. Handy for when u want someone to have a big sword which won't fit in the single item tile. 4\. Monster attack speed (so you can make some monsters attack say ever 0.40 seconds or 1.2 seconds etc) 5\. Pets and summons which can have timed durations before they are unsummoned, can learn spells and autocast them, and hold and equip items. 6\. Ranged npc attackers and magic users 7\. flying monsters: that some npc don't stop moving their wings because when they stay in one place they look weird with their wings without movement 8\. glove and boots for paperdoll! 9\. For the equips, it would be really neat if it had a spot for footwear and gloves. 10\. With shops, it would be good if you could craft: eg- to make a healing potion you need to give the shopkeeper 5 mushrooms and 3 leaves or something. When i make crafting shops in ee2.1, i am only able to pick one currency per shop, which is hard when u want a crafting shop, because you have to make multiple shops with different ingrediants and you cant make it that it costs 2 different types of ingrediants to make an item. 11\. Monsters should have a 'pie graph' style drop ratio. For example, there is a monster called 'Bandit' who can drop short sword, bow, gold or bandana. You should be able to make he only can drop 1 item at a time, and have a percentage for all drops that add up to 100%. For example: 10% chance to drop short sword 15% chance to drop bandana 5% chance to drop bow 5% chance to drop 5 gold 5% chance to drop 7 gold 5% chance to drop 9 gold 5% chance to drop 10 gold 50% chance to drop Nothing All of these recommendations would improve EE2 a lot! Thanks!

Does anyone have any or know of any boots/shoes sprites that i could use as inventory items? Thanks in advance

I want my "Spell-caster" class to start of with two spells when he/she joins the game. I know how to make them start off with skills and equips, but is there a way to make them start of with spells? If so could you tell me how? Thank you in advance. If you dont know of a way, is there a way to at least make them start of with the scrolls which they can use to learn the spells? Thanks again.

Im new to Eclipse, and have some questions- 1\. How do i change the character name colors such as the one shown in the screenshot. Peoples names are pink! i want to change them to red or something. 2\. Is there anyway i can make spoken text appear above the characters heads and in my own drawn speech bubble? In the screenshot speech is shown below the character in what i think is a pretty crappy looking speech bubble.  Thank you in advance
