Re: GLobal server



Is there a PD program I can use to make bitmaps?

At teh least, make all calsses look teh same, regardless of race.
I think variety/quality in the game shouldn't be held back
because we don't have the bitmaps to make unique
graphics for it.

Sheesh. :)

Same for spells. Have a default spell bitmaps for any non-unique
spell. (No unique bitmaps.)

Scale needs inproved alot. Burning hands/etc effect the entire
town if cast in teh city square. :) Mayeb on that scale
only effect onespace.

I think it shoud have a way zoomed in scale.. Something
like Omega where you walk aroun inside teh town itself. This
would give dozens of players easy room to walk around in town, and
make in-city combat more realistic. 

Perhaps a time delay for casting spells, based on teh complexity of teh spell?

Time segments work well... Island of Kesmai on CIS is
similar to this, but all ASCII based. You enter whatever command you'll
do, and it updates all player simultaniously every 3 seconds. This
way faster connections don't get combat advantages.

For local/play, max speed should be around 1/4 second per tcik, or something.

Overall, looks nice. I'll have more comments after teh weekend. I'm going
to start learning C soon, and hope I can contribute to teh game.
If you'd like a chart of classes/races for teh game, I'll whip
something up. I'd also like to see the messages on the right
side scroll up instead of flip to teh top. It's very annoyed. (Hard to
see where the bottom is sometimes.) 

At least make it a user option... :) I prefer the bottom to always
be on the bottom myself.. But others may feel differently.

Anyways, let me kno what I can do to help. I'd be happy ot whip
up a list of classes/races. (Ddi I say that? ;)

Training guilds/etc would also be neat. I'd like
to see a class like a thief, where you can't become a ninja
until you are alevel 5-10 tehif, or something. Also, multi-classes
would be neat.

ANyways, enogugh for now. I need to play more. :)

(Once I get started, I can go on forever with ideas. Brainstorming
is my one true talent. :)
