Flame_211, I think that the links on the webpage are too hard to find (due to style). They really should be a differnt color from the text (or have some other defining mark). Such as what I do:
text: red (FF0000)
headers: white (FFFFFF)
unvistited links: blue (0000FF)
active/hover links: green (00FF00)
visited links: purple (FF00FF)
Such that the syle sheet looks like this:
<style>
A:link {color: #0000FF}
A:visited {color: #FF00FF}
A:active {color: #00FF00}
A:hover {color: #00FF00}
#Title {font-size: 175%; font-weight: extra-bold; color: White;}
</style>
In this way, the titles stand out, the links are easily sepertated from the text. When ever I look at the page, I can't tell for sure what text is links, which are plain text, which pages I have visited, and it looks like the news is a header, and the headers are news... (the last two are due to the fact that white on black stands out more then red on black) This is most noticed when I think that the Advice Members are links, and the Affiliates are plain text.
Although, sience you are doing the webpage it is up to you. But I know that if I was to visit the page, I would quickly leave again.
It seems that you are adding names instead of removing them =). Like Sas said, you need to remember that it IS an online game, and so there probably wont be much more then a back story. Keep the name as vague as possible =).
Z.
Come Zaei, lets dig our thread out of the rubble. :rolleyes:
Gaming_What im asking now, how do you change the icon?
And I will change the links and text and all of that...
They will be:
text: red
headers: white
unvistited links: green
active/hover links: purlple
visited links: diff shade of green(so it still has its dark color to it)
Wildcard:
Sorry I will add you. I couldnt remember everyone...
/\/\Isan:
Yeah, I guess ya do lol :p
Sastraxi & Zaei:
Thanks for the advice (you do know your on the site right? along with several other people :))
Everyone
We need to stop adding to the list, we have a good list right now, I will put the pole up shortly with the current list and thats it...
NO MORE!:D
Lol. I will find out the information later. I just need to find the e-mail (and who knows how many hundreads I have;)). It is a meta tag, or a general icon for the whole site (I don't know excatly what the name is).
Ok everyone you can vote at
Polls Section on the site
Ok. I have. I will be posting again in a few minutes with the icon information.
Ok thanks Gaming, Ill check it out...
Oh, do you wanna play SC: BW? if so dont bother replying to say yes just go on bnet, my name is SD-Flame
I have a few more names I have come up with. Heres the logic:
Since our game is going to be about battle and bravery, not so much about a plot; perhaps the player should discover what the plot is as he goes along. Make his own adventure. Maybe the player can develope his character with the story line he chooses to follow. Perhaps an oppertunity to kill a villager comes up, and he takes it.. maybe his character goes towards the evil side. On the other hand, if he helps someone, he becomes a less evil person. Kind of like your pet in Black and White. We don't have to have a plot if this is a online game, we can just have random quests which follow the map, or location.
If we choose to make a player to create his own plot, we cannot favour good in any quests. Maybe certain weapons should be devoted to the dark warriors, that give extra strengh or attribute for an evil person. And good weapons to other champions. I also think it might be a good idea, for players to make their own quests. Lets say, there is a questing place u can go to( i know sounds cheesy) and have players put down a quest, which where offer a $ reward that comes out directly out of their money supply , and is cashed when other players complete this quest. They can say anything like:
- Kill player John. Smith and bring me his equipment and body for a cash reward of 50,000$
or something like that....
(I will be making a map shortly).
I think its a good idea to start on a map. I won't name things though. I will leave it up to u guys, I suck at naming :)
I'll make enough interesting areas that u guys can name... so bring forth ur ideas! :)
I think we should write a story before we get into anything else. Even a small one to start out... (eg. u crash at sea, and u find urself stranded on a certain newbie continent where all the new players land. As u get stronger, and get more $ u can travel somewhere else using various transportations that cost $ or simply walk (this might increase ur chance of attack).
Anyhow, here are my ideas. And no offense please, but I think names like "Reign of Terror" or "Blood Bath" are not very original (but still very good, just over used... dont u guys?).
- Mystics of Valor
- Intrinsicality of Magic
- To Kings Intrensic
- Warrior Affections
- Abruptness of Life
- Abruptness of Spirit
- Confute of Mortality
- Soul of Valor
- Quest for Sanity (This would depend on specific plot)
- Quest of Exertion
Lol these sounds like song names. I'm also not sure about some of these words, if their placed correctly. Let me know if I made a mistake (sorry in advance)
Help me out here guys :P
..ok i better shut up before I write a book ;)
If we go with that idea, we could have some pre-setquests that only the "good" warriors would do (such as removing evil from an area), some that only "evil" warriors would do (such as stealing items from pre-defined merchantents, and bringing them to the chef bad-dude), some that both might do (don't know for sure) and you get a reward that is good for both "good" and "evil" players. Such as a sword that subtrats life from "good", but add life to "evil" warriors, but does the oppisite for another property of the player (such as mana, stength, ect).
I also like the idea of the player defined quests. We would need to make the idea very simple though. Most players wouldn't use it if it was hard to create a quest (such as using text). Possibly something where it has parts:
Objective Kill Player, Bring Player to Place, Bring Weapon to Me, ect
Object (player/item/ect) PlayerName/Weapon Type/Uniquie Item Name
Reward Item/Money
But basicly a screen which has options like that. This way creating a quest would be easy, plus it would be much harder to cheat people out of the reward. Using an advanced system like this, you could also have it create the text for the quest (such as Kill player John. Smith and bring me his equipment and body for a cash reward of $50,000.)
I think that the player should have to fight to get from one town to another. Basicly, to get from Land 1 to Land 2, you must travel though the wilderness fighting the monsters. If we do this, we would need to have transporters (using a long forgot magic) in between.
I also fell that we should make it possible for the players to create their own servers (although they would need a good internet connections, and good computers to allow a lot of players. All I know is that I play easily customized (such as Starcraft) much more. Such as I have been playing Starcraft for over 4 years, while with Diablo 2, I have only played for a few (2-)years, and I am already bored of it (and have been for 6+ months).
I'm now running into the same problem as invitro (this post is getting long...).
I agree with everyithing. The quest system sounds good. But, I don't think players should make their own servers... because, how would they store characters and such on there? I mean, I'm sure our server would allow characters to be created on their machines, therefore allowing them to be hacked. Haven't you played Diablo I? ;)
Also, if players are allowed to make their own servers, how will the online characters be transfered? I dont think its safe to have them connect to our server and download all the characters.
Allow them to make their own server, but they have a seperate set of stored characters. Therefore, the only connection would be the name, and the ability to update though the service. I figure we might as well do this. If we don't people will hack the to do it anyways... Basicly, if the players connect to our server, it would be sercure, and uncustomizable. But if they use their own server, it would be insercure and customizable. And if they use someone elses server, it would be insercure and uncustomizable. Incase you didn't know, their have been non-blizzard battle net servers sience Diablo 1.
The one major problem with this idea is that if we allow player-ran servers, it would be harder to prevent copying.
Blizzard is cracking down on non-bnet servers =).
You might as well go ahead and let people create thier own servers, since you arent going to be selling this thing (i think...). It would be fun for lan parties and such.
Z.
I know blizz is cracking down on non-b.net servers. I only check their news about 5 times a day...
I think that we sould allow only single-player, TCI/IP or IPX/SPX (lan; whichever protacal we use), sercure online (our server), and seperate servers (these are player allowed servers).
Also, if you open up a server, then it would also allow your computer to be more eaisly hacked, therefore reducing the number of people which would do it.
Also, how will they find all the non-b.net servers? No matter how hard they try, they are sure to miss some. Plus, more will keep poping up until they are able to make it impossible to do.
Ok... I never knew b.net had a news thing.
Anyways... When I get home, ILL update the polls
(again) with your names...
Gaming:
How is your server coming along?
AND EVERYONE NO MORE NAMES!!!
Thank you...
www..
Also, www.. has it too.
The pages of www.diabloii.net and www.warcraftiii.net give the details of those two games (Diablo 2 and Warcraft 3). Along with the blizzard stat guides (www.. /diablo2/ and www.. /war3/ and www.. /scc/) I am not sure about the SC one.
Does anyone know why it does that? I have checked everything I can think of on my comp (I'm running XP), but I can't find anything that stops that (it also doesn't like to run java scripts).
Also, here are the links in a text file (well a zipped text file...).
HUH??? Anyways, I havent had time to update the polls but they should be updated w/in 24 hrs (maybe 25 if im lazy)
the zip has what i attempted to say in the post above the zip. All the links in the post above the zip are the same as the ones in the zip.
Ok... Ill d/l the zip shortly to see what you are talking about...
I don't know if you see it too, but when I look at that post a lot of the words are missing. Such as . , and . .
Yes... The words are missing... LOL
I thought you just typed it in that way:p
Nope. If I did, why would I also post it in a text file which I had to zip to keep it from doing that? Lots of extra work for the same effect.
I dont know why you would... Just thought ya did... Any ways
no I dont know why it does that...
Well, if anyone else knows, perhaps they could tell me...
Ok... enough with the boondoggle.... (big word, any one know what it means?) we need to get down to bussiness...(i dont know what business that is exactly but... anyways... we need to get back on track...
Lol, yes we do.Quote:

So, does any one know what boondoggle means?
Anyways... Has everyone voted on the polls for what name they want?
Im gonna take the top 3 and make a new poll for them...
Then we vot again and thatll be the name...
No, I don't know what it means, and Yes, I have voted.
it means to create something out of junk or to do something useless ;)
Yeah.. Thats what it is /\/\isanThr0p...
Ok...Ill go post a message in Some where asking for everyone to goto the site and see what name they like best...
ok I looked at the polls and right now the top three out of all polls are:
Tides of Blood
Lands Of Power
and Unlimited
Ill leave it up for a few more days then make a new poll for those three...
So what have u all been up to?
Being bored...

I have now got MSN messanger to work (amazly;)). The e-mail address I set it up on is: [email protected]
Me and my dad are working on getting a webserver running at home. We have the page (http) working, but FTP is giving us trouble. We need a differnt FTP server, so if anyone knows of a good FTP server that working on XP (and free), let me know and I will try it.
The URL is: 209.162.218.189:8886. I will also be getting a forwarding page uploaded to www.kaynor.net/zelda3/
