where you guys want me to start the site at, a free server or are we gonna use yours Gaming_World?
for now just use a free server, but me and my dad are setting up some stuff on www.kaynor.net/zelda3/ We just need to take our current sites offline, have them switch servers, upload out stuff again, then setup an extra FTP account.
ok, so what u want me to use?
Angelfire.com
Any other free ones that are descent?
For now it doesn't matter, as we will be moving it soon anyways.
i'd also consider changing the name, you're guaranteed legal problems calling it Zelda anything, or using any characters, plots or idea from the Zelda series.
if you guys can show me you're serious about seeing this project through i'd be happy to host a website for you, and help with any web development issues as time allows.
You guys might want to just delete the other thread, and leave everything in here. It makes things easier for everyone (only have to check one thread for updates, etc).

Ok I don't mean to be bossy, but this is what were going to start doing. Feed back would be good... ;)
Start posting everything in here.. I think Z has a good point.
Second... we can't use Zelda for a game name. We need to think of something else, so ppl start thinking before we start anything. Also. We need to figure out the game play. Town names, ect. ect.
Then I can start drawing out concept art, and we can start programming. We need to do the planning first. When the planning is done we can post it up in this thread so everyone can take a look at it and see what they need to do.
Ok now whos doing what?
Flame - Website (temp)
InVitro - Graphics and MAYBE music
Game world, what are u going to be doing?
Who else is involved and what can they do?
We need some really good programmers.
What were going to start is with the core engine. We dont need any 3d ****, so its just basic API calls to draw characters on screen and perhaps play sound. Little stuff for now. We can worry about the network crap later.. i think. So who would like to program that?
Now, everyone who is involved needs to reply to this thread and state what their doing! Stickman I know you posted earlier but what are u going to be working on?
Flame, what I want u to do is make website sketch with like paint or something. Even a logic tree would be good to show where things go. U can even use Visio if you've got it. If you dont konw what im talking about look around. Also, I got 3 of the same messages from you saying how to add ppl on ICQ.
Click the Search for user button and type intheir UIN. I do that, and it works with no error.
So how does all that sound? We really need to get orgenized.. and i think this is a good start. After we assign roles to people, we can see where we stand and go from there.
Invitro.. I do program, just not netowrking or anything like that...
I already started a little on the website...
BTW: doesnt vbforums have a chat or something? or did they close that?
AND WE KNOW THAT THE NAME MUST BE CHANGED.... IT IS THE WORKING NAME(name that we work under until we decide on one)
I might be able to get a thing so the tiles(when ur walking/running/riding(horse)) move smoothly across the screen, if I can remember where I put that code...
And Invitro, do you have MSN or AIM??? I have both(and know how to use them...)
Zaei, Howard Stern, if you guys want, you can help out a lil with the programming... :)
The website is http://www.angelfire.com/realm/warel...da3/index.html
if you think I should change something, then please tell me!!
OH, And yes you do sound a lil bossy :p
Ya I got MSN. Look me up at
ICQ: 802604
MSN:[email protected]
invitro was taken ;)
PS: I just want us to get orgenized thats all, ill stop as soon as we figure out what were doing :(
I checked out the website. It looks cool for now. Its just going to be temp so dont put ur heart and soul into this :)
I will, actually start drawing out stuff for the site, .. i suggest a black background theme, that way it looks morel ike a gaming site.
I will also start posting concept art soon, after i start on that
:)
ok... Ill see if your on in a second...
I will try to contribute in the programming area, both gaming and network hopefully ;)
Welcome back stick, seemed like you were gone for awhile...
InVitro:
Your on but away so... When u get on ill probably still be on :p
I plan on doing most of any of the programming, although I have been unable to do many games, due to lack of graphics. I know how to do some networking, but I haven't been able to do a lot (or test it much), due to the fact of a firewall on my network.
I wouldn't say to delete the rules thread, we should just ignore it. If you have the thread in your signature, just remove it, and don't bother to post to it.
Ok I'm back... ummm, msg me again i dotn know where ur message went
lol
kinda new to msn, just got it today
Im just a tad busy with Times of War at the moment, but I will give random bits of advice =).
Z.
I think you will need you own page as soon as possible, so you can put down all the rules and ideas that you want to incorporate, so everyone on the team can look them up at any time without browsing through the thread...
Sorry InVitro, I got off, Ill be back on probably tomorrow or later today, I gtg play Starcraft right now...
And thanks everyone who is volunteering to give advice/help and to all the people that are going to be directly involved with programming/art/web and so forth...
Also, we need to get to programming...
I figure I owe Gaming for the comments and thoughts he's provided for Sentience.
If he wants me around to provide support then I'll be here until your project's finished.
I agree, we need a page first so everyone can go there and check out whats going on and what they need to be working on.
...and with the name that is what I was trying to say before, just din't come out very well. ;)
I agree as well. As I said, I should be able to begin hosting the page soon (but someone still has to make it).
Ill do the pages and everything, just tell me who needs to do what...
As for the name, maybe Z^3
Note: the ^ means to the power of but will be called Z3, or
Z-Cubed (get it to the power of 3, cubed...)
If you look at my program I made ull see what I mean...
Origin of Z3:
Z- Zelda
3- Zelda (3)
BTW: Any one know how to do Sup script or Sub Script on these forums?
If we plan on every releasing the , we would want the name to be copyrightable (I don't know if Z^3 or Z3 is, possibly Z-Cubed).
I don't belive that you can do super- or sub-scripting. (but then again, I didn't find out about the vbcode command until a few weeks ago...)
what kind of scripts are you looking for?
and for the name, I would say we try a creative name that should have nothing really to do with zelda itself. The game is just based on the zelda style of play correct?
Do you have a plot or an idea for a device that you could adapt to form the name? eg. "Sentience" comes from the idea that the machines are evolving into sentience beings. "Times of War" is pretty self-explanatory.
If for example the game is about the quest for a mystical weapon, it could be "Sword of the Ancients", or "The Silver Spear of Destiny". If the goal was to assassinate an evil tyrant and free a country, it might be "To Tame a Land" or "Liberation".You are only limited by your imagination.
Fragments of proverbs or quotes are good too.
Look around in software stores or on the internet for ideas. See what other RPGs are called. Just remember that it has to be easy to pronounce and memorable. These things will keep it in peoples minds longer and make it more popular. Don't take other peoples ideas, characters, names etc. Making your own is far more fun.
Sub- and Super-Scripts. They are such as Z^3, where the 3 is raised above the base line (a super-script), and a sub-script is the oppisite, below the base line.Quote:

subblahsupblah
just use sub and sup inside []'s
Z3
are we going to use Dx8.1 or 7.x or 8.0?
we were planning on using 8.x.
are you sure you want to use DX8? most elements of the game will be in 2d right? so why have the hassle of setting up polygons for it every time? You could still oncorporate D3d for the effects...
well I set up a (really!) basic 2d engine (doesn't do anything but draw the tiles) in Dx8, after that I even had some trouble incorporating real 3d over those, so I really didn't like that too much...
I spent ages composing this for you and you've totally ignored it. Was it not what you were looking for?Quote:

Thanks Cander for this and this, oh and are you
still on the team?
Behemoth:
Will take your comments into consideration...
(maybe "Quest for Glory" :p)
I still think Z3 or Z-Cubed:D
shouldn't it be called diaboli then? :D
Well I thought that would be an english word too. Otherwise I think it would have been written Diabolo... (really not sure about that though, I do not know a word of spanish...)
You are welcome. Im trying to get some more free time. just been very busy lately with projects at workQuote:

Spanish nouns generally end in A or O, depending on the gender. A beign female, O being male. Diablo. You misspelt it. Its not Diabol, but Diablo.Quote:
