-- anything below here -- was delete when we updated map saving and loading so the old maps had to go

these are some i took randomly in game
if you want a specific screen let me no but I'm not going to screen shot the entire thing and spoil the game for everyone because we have some neat surprises in there

[Neo-Dragon]

Please upload those screenshots.... I really want to see them. Online Pokemon games always have my intrest.
Upload the images on :

[Ichigo Flash]

Can't wait to see these should be great.

[The Dash]

Yeah you need screenshots or this thread will be closed.

[Avatar]

I am going to give you a day or two to reach the 15 posts, so that you can post the screenshots.
When these have expired, however, I will close the thread.

[Gigerm]

i will be willing to be a alpha tester for you or beta tester or gamma tester lol anyway pm me if i can.

[Yumago]

Just give us edited links so that the board doesn't see them as URL's. If this is real, almost done and good, you'll get a load of players.

[The Dash]

i will be willing to be a alpha tester for you or beta tester or gamma tester lol anyway pm me if i can.

He said developer not tester ¬_¬

This is very true. There are plenty of pokemon fans out there that are gonna love this game IF it ever is truly released.

[Avatar]

You will stop asking abut beta testing, and actually read the important threads. Namely, [URL-inline="showthread.php?t=65055"][MUST READ] An important notice[/URL-inline].

[Blacksprite]

we'll probably need testers later on in the game well shortly so we can test server response times, spelling, grammar, make sure all the pictures are blitting right, make sure you cant walk through stuff make sure all buildings doors go to the right place

Oh and theis is not made in game maker, rm2k/3(xp) or anyothers that i think of thesse editors are great (got me into game making) but are really too limited for mmorpgs

so this has been made from scratch useing, vb.net , c++ and a little of c# for the items and stuff. majority is done in c++ which calls on the others

oh and this is a 2dmmorpg there just better none of this high res stuff games are better low res and good for all computers

Can't wait to see these should be great.

well i dont want to get your hopes up its not that great thesse maps will undoubtly be changed if there too big or too much loading lagging etc
also they may all be erased as we might be making the map file 8x smaller to increase preformance and save on ram

[Pkmn_knight]

i will be using nice pokemon graphics because its 2d if yes good they are 3d to me. :)

[Blacksprite]

i understand what you mean
the illusion of 3d graphics

[Pkmn_knight]

uh 2d looking like 3d
and will we be battling eachover or a computer controling their team like pokemon creator

[The Dash]

Ok right now it just looks like mapping and character insertion to me. Can we see some player to player interaction or havent you got that far?

[Pkmn_knight]

i wonder how long it will take till a demo

[Blacksprite]

ok you guys reply fast

ok first there is npc's and you can have player to player battles and soon 2 on 2 battles
sorry dont no pokemon creator
ok mmo's useally dont get released untill its basically finished
but private alpha testing will begin shortly
public beta testing will begin prior to full realease no idea when yet a while though (good things take time)

and no Dashiel i haven't forgotten your post

we do have player interaction but at the time when i took screens i had just fired up the server for the sole purpose of getting screens but tonite i'll call up some freinds who have a not too older version of the client and get them to come online
the problem is though the need to get a static ip for the server but it still goes the only thing is you have to call me before you go online to get my ip lol
static ip soon rather slow inernet provider

[Blacksprite]

quick update GUI almost finished so i'll post a screen shot of the entire client and not just the maps, gui as well

[zidanes]

Your idea of a pokemon online game sounds pretty good. I just wonder how you are going to do this. Anyway, what system are you using to make this? (RM2K3, Sphere, etc.)

[Alistair]

Please edit your posts instead of double postin. Anyway, this looks good so far! I hope you continue it.

That huge building in Pallette Town is an apartment complex, no? Also, I like the custom house you did in screenshot 2.

[Blacksprite]

Not any editors
no where building this from scratch using c++ mainly which calls apon vb.net and a bit of c# for the objects

Yes apartment complex
it had to be this way
magin if everyone started in ash's house.

This really takes part a few years after ash's adventure in the orange island and now everyone whants some of his success and the place to start is pallet town of course with professor oak now leading all young trainers to meet their goals but unfortunatly with so many people needing his attention you might have to deal with his aides

ps few surprises waiting in viridian city

[Blacksprite]

Here is the Graphical user interface i promised
this is only part of it beacasue i found i didn't like it, give me your opinion

replace " , " with " . "
www,freewebs,com/kayo/screenshot3.PNG

really dont like this doesn't seem professional

also if you would like to jion our development team and make us some realy cool GUI we would love for you to become a full fledged member of our teaam
colors to go for
blue, yellow, grey/blue, and red.

[djvolcom]

this game looks neat, if its online only if we see other players instead of one

[Blacksprite]

this game looks neat, if its online only if we see other players instead of one
what?
sorry thats a tad confusing
Yes its completly online and yes you do see other players walking around and battling and making poke balls and being part of there own team rocket division

And what does every one think about the name
Pokemon Online
or should we go for somthing else if so any ideas

[The Dash]

I don't really like the name,
It's been done before for progects like this.

[Pkmn_knight]

How about

Pokemon Active

as active with loads of people on

[Blacksprite]

yea i never liked the name much but for now the only options are

Pokemon International Challenge. aka pokemon IC
Pokemon Journey
And some other too random ones the development team has come up with

Pokemon active sounds cool
it would be cool beacause link active games made it
it of a link between the names

but i think a really out there name would be cool

[Pkmn_knight]

How about
Pokemon Player Active

[Blacksprite]

or pokemon active player

hmmm
i dont no needs to be somethin really outstanding and neat
i really need a name so i can by a domain name

and what does anyone think of my last screenshot of the sendgetdata (loading) part
Pictures now on first post

[Sceptile_Master]

Amazing this is great to see someone working on a game using real life programming solutions. This means I expect big things from this project. And people shouldn't expect screenshots right away for programmed games as even in visual basic it's alot harder to just whip out a screenshot than in games using a maker as the systems have to be implemented first.

[The Great Saiyaman]

Whoa! Thats pretty cool. You young folk and your computer programs! No really, this game should be a big hit with the fans. I wish you luck in the next stages of the project.

[Blacksprite]

well acutally im a old pokemon fan
well most of the work min vb has been done all the client/ server connecrtion stuff has been done
but really we need alot theres only 4 people on the team and 2 of them arnt real true pokemon fans and are showing lack of intrest
So my main reason for making the topic was to recruit people to help
mainly graphics
without the theres no way to see if the code worked the way we wanted

[-:Buro-kun Tsubasa:-]

How about Pokemon Network? Or Pokemon Net?
I can't wait for this to come out! I'll be playing straight away, YOU WILL FINISH THIS! Its not gonna be like Pokemon Crator is it, having to re-load every step you take, is it?

[Blacksprite]

Again never played pokemon crator
but everyones talking about it
Um well so far in order to have less lag time theres a new "map" every 30 by 30 square but you wont know this as we have scrolling maps now and all the maps you download with the client so minimal lag

we tried this
my mate was on an oldish computer that has been playing up 56 kb modem and he said that his person didn't lag at all but every now an then some people would apear to jump alittle
server is on a 3.5mb/s connection with unlimited bandwich 3.82gHz prossesor and 2gig's ram

oh and i love the names (rather shocked i didn't think of this)
Pokemon.net

sounds cool
it could be short for pokemon network or its could be a name on its own
let me know what you think people

oh and broken wings how would you like to work with us? (no dental plan but we do have good rsi cover)

[Sceptile_Master]

Well I could help but only as a coder and not a spriter which I'm not sure you need. I know a fair amount of VB6 but I dunno about .NET and how the hard the transition would be. I'm not even that good with VB6 but if you ever did need me for something just call.

PS: What graphics libary are you using for this game (I assumer directX because of it's bindings with .NET)?

PSS. Pokemon.net sounds cool.

[DarkPegasus]

How about Pokemon Network? Or Pokemon Net?
I can't wait for this to come out! I'll be playing straight away, YOU WILL FINISH THIS! Its not gonna be like Pokemon Crator is it, having to re-load every step you take, is it?

You did mean crater right? And crater uses html or php code... Definitely not C+... So I guess no...

Anyhow I like the screens you showed, I really hope you get to finishing this.

[Blacksprite]

yea were having to use direct x 7 lol kinda old
but this should ensure compatability for most users
oh and wear using vb6

[djvolcom]

and what does anyone think of my last screenshot of the sendgetdata (loading) part
Pictures now on first post

it looks cool,. you did that by yourself??

[Pkmn_knight]

oh i see and btw how many maps gouing to to make

[The Dash]

Are you going to make the game Open Source at any point? I'd really like to see how it would work (Im trying to learn VB6).

[The Great Saiyaman]

I could do some spriting. But, I get lazy quickly. . . You're going to need more then one spriter. Sorry I couldn't help you.

[xMeteorxStriker]

Hey this is amazing u said we could giv u specific screen shots
show us some with more than one player in it and some more looks for the character!

[Rukario_911]

wow nice job. at least there is a decent game in pokecommunity the only 2 game i like here so far is this game and crystal reflection. oh and can u show a screen with more than one person in it so we know its an online game

[Blacksprite]

yea i'll get to the whole mmo screen shot asap only thing is i have to get my mate the latest client
so i promise asap
did i do this all my self?
no way too big
geo logic and I did it
we have been working on this since november last year just trying to get the client server stuff going
we have put in an inbuilt map editor so anyone with the client and is an admin or mapper can map edit in game

we would love help with the sprites
we have probably 700 plus sprites finished only this is they need to be rearanged in one file in a spcific order
and seeing as im lazy and working on the coding side i have done about 7 out ot 700 which is what 1%
100 of them are ruby/shapire ripps the other 600 are color changes of the oringinal 100 lol
so you could help if you like by adding a few more to this that would be cool

Also quick question are fire red and leaf green character sprites better quality graphics than ruby ones
i think there are but statnio reckons there the same
if fire red l/g are better we need to uses thoose basically get all the sprites from them including npc's

oh and how many maps

well hopefully in the end it will all look seamless but to give you an idea
currently
pokemon center 1 map
police 1
pallet town 2
route one 5 still 4 too go on route 1

soo far 13?

maps are 30 by 30 squares in order to prevent lagging

[Zangooser]

Hmm, this game looks promising.....I always wanted a Pokemon MMORPG and so have my other pokemon fan friends, this will be great.....

[Jesus Freak Josh]

This looks spiggin' awesome! PLEASE TELL ME THERE WILL BE A CHAT OPTION!

If this gets there, I will be happy. It looks QUITE promising. :p

[ShadowKP1]

A pokemon MMORPG. I can't wait for this. This sounds even better than Pokemon Crater.

[zidanes]

I really want to know what kind of system are you using for this game? Are you using a playerworlds system, because the screenshots look kind of like that.

[Blacksprite]

havent played playerworlds sorry,
ok again is pokemon crator a finished game? ive never herd of it
yes of course theres a chat option
read thought past post i may have mentioned it can't remember
anyway there heaps f different typyes of chat
Private chat
Public chat (on map)
Broadcast
emotions
animated emotion (thesse apear on top of you in thought or speack bubbles)

[Red1530]

Why is their only 150 Pokémon instead of the 386 known now?

[ShadowKP1]

Well yeah Crater isn't finsihed. And like I said before this looks even better than Crater.

[Blacksprite]

Why is their only 150 Pokémon instead of the 386 known now?
Beacause i have to code the lot
and 386 pokemon all in the same region? thats too much
this is not like the gba games where there is 2 diffrent versions with diffrent pokemon its the one with all 150 so its big enough
somewhere in the far future we may decide to add regions

[ShadowKP1]

Well which group of pokemon will be in the first region. R/B/Y, G/S/C? or R/S/E/. Sounds like R/B/Y pokemon to me.

Now this might be a little in advance. But when are we gonna see this game on the net able to be played.

[Blacksprite]

red blue and yellow
the original
yes just 150 of the orignal
i mustn't have mentioned it

Sorry missed the last bit fireKP1

Game Avaliable to be played?
Short answer
when its finished

Long answer
we may have a breif realse early on to test server response times
but were along way off that
nothing happens overnight

also if it takes me ages to respond its beacause im working on the game

[Kaeru_ike]

This looks good:) You should make a chatting system and friend thingie and such

[Pkmn_knight]

dont you mean 151 dont forget mew is in r/b/y
i caught him in red without cheating

[Blacksprite]

i think mew will be alot rarer maybey we'll give mew away
for some competiton or first to beat the pokemon league
or something

yea there is allready a chatting system
buddy list and private messages are on the way

[The Dash]

Something I think would be good to add,
Customiseable Hairsyles/Clothes? It would give the game alot more of a "Realistic" feel.

[xMeteorxStriker]

Word to that!
thats a great idea i mean i was thinkin of that lol

[zidanes]

dont you mean 151 dont forget mew is in r/b/y
i caught him in red without cheating

Wait a second. The only pokemon that I know that you catch in red, blue, or yellow without cheating is Mewtwo. Mew cant be caught on any game but Emerald without a cheat or Nintendo Promotion.

[The Dash]

He probably went to that promotion then.

[Alistair]

There is also that Mew glitch. (Which is legal and not cheating.) But please get back on topic.

Anyway, you appear to be coming even farther on the project, which is a good thing. Keep up the good work!

[Blacksprite]

hmm ok
customisable hair styles (i hate you guys)
ok 2 ways we could do that
1. make a sprite of every customizable hair style, clothes colour etc.
2. make the game draw each part sepratly acording to the save game file

1. is alot of work i mean alot alot,
2. would make more lag and be difficult to code

currently we have a system where we have 100 diffrent sprites each with 7 colour variations

[Ash_Pokemaster]

This really is interesting! I can say this is probably gonna be completd as I see the will. Now let's get on the topic.
Seeing that clans are available makes me happy! I have some suggestions. In the clans what about a ranger option? Also what about a name like Pokemon Linked? or sth? :P That would make the game really nice. And a question. Since you're gonna put only the 151 Pokemon, the other won't be available to catch? Are you goning to update the game some time to cover them? Thanks in advance. Keep it up!

[spike6958]

this game looks great hope you finish but the biggest problems i can see are goin to be in oaks lab, pokemarts, pokemon centers and the gyms couse everyone is goin to have to line up for ages to get to do what they want

[Blacksprite]

reply to clan post

Yes we have heaps of diffrent "clans' as you call them, that ranger is one we didn't think of though thanks so much

thesse are great ideas guys you should all join the development team

I like "Pokemon Linked"
but what does sth stand for?

this game looks great hope you finish but the biggest problems i can see are goin to be in oaks lab, pokemarts, pokemon centers and the gyms couse everyone is goin to have to line up for ages to get to do what they want

All thesse places have an overflow limit of about 15 - 30 people depending on the building
of course when the game begins we will moniter taffic through thesse buildings and change the overflow limit as needed
i'll post a screen shot of a pokemon center

http://www.freewebs.com/kayo/Screenshot4.PNG
* not complete still some bugs *
The main room in the gym area "where the leader is" will be unique or individual to each player

[The Dash]

Looks pretty awesome but when the overflow limit for a certain building is reached does that mean that it wont allow anyone else in? Or is it going to become instance based at that point?

[Blacksprite]

not sure what you mean by instance based
but it will just go to a second identical pokemon center
basically 2 or more maps for every key building

we may do this with routes as well if they lagg

[xMeteorxStriker]

i have a hairstyle sprite u can use if u give me credit

[Blacksprite]

what do you mean by a hair style sprite?

I think we will stick with what we have now and update later

[ShadowKP1]

Nice pokemon center. I was wondering about traffic.

[Blacksprite]

Nice pokemon center. I was wondering about traffic.

wonder no more
We spent a good 3 months solid planning
started full development about a month ago

Battle system calculations implimented
now fixing the save game files

Geo tells me that we now have case sensitive passwords (good work geo logic)(whos not yet a member of the forum but still reads the posts)

[Tbone2356]

This Game Looks Great, Ive Always Wanted To Play An Online Pokemon Game. Well Anyway Get Ready To Type Because Heres An Interview On Your Game.


"Think Of This Not As A Bunch Of Questions But As An Interview"

For Contests Or Competitions You Could Make The Prize Be A Pokemon From Another Region. You Wouldnt Have To Code All The 386 Maybe Just Like 10 From The Other Games And They Would Be Rare To The Region. That Would Be Cool.

Also If You Become The Elitle Champion Will You Stay Their And Battle The Other Trainers That Come In To Face You?

Will Their Be A Battle Frointeir? (Seeing As In The Anime Its In Kanto.)
If Their Was You Could Give The Parts Of Being It To Some High Level Players Like Each 3 Months You Would Check On How Each Frointier Brain You Hired Is Doing And You Could Either Reinstate Them Or Give Another Trainer The Honor.

One Last Question:
Will There Be Pokemon Contests?
Proabably Be Cool And You Could Make It Cooler With The Anime Styled Where You Appeal Off Your Moves And Then Battle.

Haha I Lied One More Question I Promise:
Will You Have The Sevvi Islands On Your Game?
It Would Be Cool To Be Able To Sail To Them And Have Different Things.

Will Their Be A System For Your Pokemon To Come Out Of Their Balls And Follow You Or Like Have A Feeding And Care System?
It Might Be Cool To Be Able To Just Let Your Starter Be Able To Follow You, If You Dont Want To Code The Others.

Will Thier Be Missions For The Clans To Go On And Can Anyone Form One And Give Out Ranks, Aswell As Create The Name Of It?

Will Thier Be A System To Trade Items And Pokemon?

Will Morning, Day, And Night Systems As Well As A Phone System To Talk To People On Your Friends List Be Avilable In The Game?

Last But Not Last:
For Pokemon Breeders, Will They Be Able To Set Up Daycares At Thier House And Watch And Help Raise/Train Pokemon That The Player Dropped Off?
If So Will The Player Breeder Be Able To Take The Pokemon Out And Battle It. Will Players Also Be Allowed To Set Prices For Thier Services?

OK LAST ONE I PROMISE!
Will Other Players Be Allowed To Board Anothers Ship? Can The Player Lock Their Ship, Customize The Outside And Inside? And Will Their Be Different Kinds Of Boats To Buy Such As A Sail Boat And A Mini Speed Boat Then Going Up Alot Higher, A Cruise Liner Which Players Can Throw Partys On And Have Features For A Vacation Where People Could Stay And Give Money?

I Have Millions Of More Questions But Ill Let You Rest Your Hands From Typing The Answers, But I Will Be Back To Ask More, So Be Prepared, Ill Be Back.

[Blacksprite]

I'll post reply in new post on page 4

[Tbone2356]

oh dear god!
I'll reply in this post when i get back from a tournament 2-3 hours

Lmao.

Ill Be Waiting For The Answers.

[dude256]

Pokemon mmo?! This project should be interesting, good luck with it.

[mattwo]

I want to test it when it gets into the testing stage

[Illusion]

I really hope this game doesn't just die out like all the other Pokemon MMORPG's, nearly every time I saw one, it was never released and died...
But all I can say is that this does look like a great game, I'll be waiting for a demo.
Illusion
PS: Please continue with ur game it really lokks interesting. ;)
@mattwo: This is considered like asking to be a beta-tester, I don't think it's allowed...

[Blacksprite]

For Contests Or Competitions You Could Make The Prize Be A Pokemon From Another Region. You Wouldnt Have To Code All The 386 Maybe Just Like 10 From The Other Games And They Would Be Rare To The Region. That Would Be Cool.

possable again i think the team and i have agreed to get it finish and add stuff in later


Also If You Become The Elitle Champion Will You Stay Their And Battle The Other Trainers That Come In To Face You?

Actually were not quite sure how we're going to do this, i'll keep you updated


Will Their Be A Battle Frointeir? (Seeing As In The Anime Its In Kanto.)
If Their Was You Could Give The Parts Of Being It To Some High Level Players Like Each 3 Months You Would Check On How Each Frointier Brain You Hired Is Doing And You Could Either Reinstate Them Or Give Another Trainer The Honor.


maybey, the thought had crossed our minds


One Last Question:

yea right


Will There Be Pokemon Contests?
Proabably Be Cool And You Could Make It Cooler With The Anime Styled Where You Appeal Off Your Moves And Then Battle.


Maybey later


Haha I Lied One More Question I Promise:

knew it


Will You Have The Sevvi Islands On Your Game?
It Would Be Cool To Be Able To Sail To Them And Have Different Things.

probably not at first but definitally later. this may depend on how where feeling after kanto
remember the routes are huge


Will Their Be A System For Your Pokemon To Come Out Of Their Balls And Follow You Or Like Have A Feeding And Care System?
It Might Be Cool To Be Able To Just Let Your Starter Be Able To Follow You, If You Dont Want To Code The Others.

no, this would create too much lagg having to draw all that
nice idea. it came up in planning but we never thought much of it


Will Thier Be Missions For The Clans To Go On And Can Anyone Form One And Give Out Ranks, Aswell As Create The Name Of It?

well yes you can create your own clans or guilds or mafias if you want as well as all the things you said above ^
* this feature is finished but may require tweaking *
but remember when you choose to be a pokemon breeder or a trainer or whatever its really just a title (no custom titles though) its linked to your sprite and is changeable thoughout the game and does not effect gameplay. it really just makes it sound cool if your title is a breeder and guess what you actually breed or run a day care lol


Will Thier Be A System To Trade Items And Pokemon?

yes and this is also finished


Will Morning, Day, And Night Systems As Well As A Phone System To Talk To People On Your Friends List Be Avilable In The Game?

Day and night system. currently there is but, there is some question whether this sould be taken out or not real time (currently it is)
this currently means that people from sertain countries such and the majority of europe, england etc would only ever play at night as they are 12hrs behind us


Last But Not Last:
For Pokemon Breeders, Will They Be Able To Set Up Daycares At Thier House And Watch And Help Raise/Train Pokemon That The Player Dropped Off?
If So Will The Player Breeder Be Able To Take The Pokemon Out And Battle It. Will Players Also Be Allowed To Set Prices For Thier Services?

yes, except you cant battle with them. it will be like a minigame/puzzel to get up a level


OK LAST ONE I PROMISE!
Will Other Players Be Allowed To Board Anothers Ship?

yes. i might not have metioned that


Can The Player Lock Their Ship, Customize The Outside And Inside? And Will Their Be Different Kinds Of Boats To Buy Such As A Sail Boat And A Mini Speed Boat Then Going Up Alot Higher, A Cruise Liner

yes and may have a crew for bigger ships
or yo could own a fleet of ships and just hire captins but you still get profit
but this is gameplay and you can do what you want


Which Players Can Throw Partys On And Have Features For A Vacation Where People Could Stay And Give Money?
you may do what you want as regards to the party.
and yes boat owners may charge for there services


I Have Millions Of More Questions But Ill Let You Rest Your Hands From Typing The Answers, But I Will Be Back To Ask More, So Be Prepared, Ill Be Back.

god not too soon as i need to work on the game

[-:Buro-kun Tsubasa:-]

oh and broken wings how would you like to work with us? (no dental plan but we do have good rsi cover)
Wha? Really? How, beta tester, spriter, what? Whatever it is, okay, I just don't know any coding apart from HTML... ^^;

[Blacksprite]

Wha? Really? How, beta tester, spriter, what? Whatever it is, okay, I just don't know any coding apart from HTML... ^^;

well mainly its just stuff like do you reckon this would work?
and
ideas
and
and things like does this what a battle system should do

but theres no rush

oh and please people i hope your not expecting this game soon!

This game sounds great ^_^ Let's just hope this doesn't end up like all other online Pokémon games here -_- I have a question, though, are you planning to add in egg moves, EVs and IVs? Also, are you going to keep to the original battle system of the Pokémon games or are you going to tweak it a little?

Either way, I'm really looking forward to this game, even though the mapping could use some work. Try adding some more flowers and trees.

yea we have to be careful with maps
when lots of people come into a to deatailed map it looks terriable
but i agree maps will be redone but codeing is top prioity

battle system is basically the same IV's and ev's
little bit diffrent probably not noticable to anyone but adevelopers
egg moves now some one explain to me exactly what is meant by this. sorry lol.
eggs have moves these days

Quick update

the news part which loads the current news from the server has been updated beacasue it wasn't instant it would require you to restart the client
now its instant

[Smarties-chan]

egg moves now some one explain to me exactly what is meant by this. sorry lol.
eggs have moves these days
Egg moves are moves passed down to other Pokémon by breeding. When breeding, the offspring will be of the same species as the female Pokémon, while the father can pass moves forward to the offspring.

I'll explain you the basics of how moves are passed on:

1. If the mother and father both know a move that they can learn by levelling up, and the baby can learn the same move by level, that move will be passed forward to the baby.

example:
If you have, let's say you have a Girafarig and Farfetch'd and their movesets are like this:

Girafarig Farfetch'd
-Stomp -Foresight
-Agility -Peck
-Confusion -Agility
-Psybeam -Fury attack
(a horrible movesets, I know, but they are just examples)

If you'd breed these two Pokémon and you'd have a female Girafarig, you'd get a Girafarig with a moveset like this:

-Tackle
-Growl
-Foresight
-Agility

Now you might wonder where Foresight came for, because Girafarig does not learn Foresight by leveling up, this brings us to another important thing about breeding: As I said before, egg moves are special moves passed down to the baby if one or more of the father's moves are on the Female Pokémon's egg move list.

Sometimes egg moves might require a breeding chain, like in my example. Farfetch'd learns Foresight from Hoothoot, meaning, that, first you'd have to breed a male Hoothoot knowing Foresight with a female Farfetch'd and then breed a male baby of those two Pokémon with a female Girafarig.

Also, if the mother's lowest form can learn a TM move the father has, that move is also passed forward.

You probaly didn't understand much of what I said, because I suck at explaining things, so just check out psypokes.com for a better explanation about egg moves.

[Blacksprite]

oh yea i knew about that sorry
i wasn't up with the lingo
although i didn't no you could breed a farfecht'd with a Girafarig

[Hitman]

Can i join? I can create websites for you..

[Yuoaman]

Ummm... Are there any screens??

[The Dash]

Do you even bother reading? Look at the first post T.T

[Zangooser]

I have a question........What starters will be available for starting trainers?
Will they be the original 3 (Kanto) or random first stage pokemon?

[djvolcom]

r u using the pokemon online source? from MS? cuz a friend of mine has a Pokemon Online Source

[Pkmn_knight]

will you be doing a custom time cos im in England so you cant say standered

[Blacksprite]

replying to posts in order
if you could make us a really cool professional looking website that would be great cos at the moement i dont have time

there and 28 starters in total including the original 3 when you begin the game 3 random ones from the list will be avaliable

pokemon source? i haven't talked to anyone on here called ms

if he could give us anything which may be of help it would be apreciated

custom time?
we are now thinking of something like 1 sec = 1 min
stil thinking about this

[mattwo]

So then It's not ok to ask for a beta test spot? (or any kind of test spot?)

[The Dash]

I think 1 sec to a min would be to quick. The sims is about 3 i think? I think 3 would be good.
Mattwo do you bother reading the rules!? Your NOT allowed to ask to be a beta tester unless the thread owner has stated that he wants them!

[mattwo]

Ok now I see why I should bother to read them sry

(I'm kinda inpatient lol sorry)

[The Dash]

¬_¬ You should of saw in the first place. The rules are there for a reason and its to stop people sounding like idots and noobs.

[mattwo]

Yea, I know... I never read that kinda rules before I kinda assumed and u know what happens when you assume

[The Dash]

Not really. You should read the rules in every fourm you go into, not just brush them off and presume they are "Standard" rules. Now can we stop spamming up this thread please?

[Blacksprite]

no beta spots yet
please read previos post mainly the bit which say and i quote

please people i hope your not expecting this game soon!

[mattwo]

*sigh* oh well :( Like I said before I'm inpatient and (figureitvely) I can't wait for this game

[Hiidoran]

Wow, this sounds really good and this isn't the normal area that i post in. Anyway this looks great and I wish you the best of luck. To bad though, I wish i could help in some way but I cannot code. I'm good at coming up with ideas and such but by the looks of it you have that taken care of ^_^.

[Blacksprite]

*sigh* oh well :( Like I said before I'm inpatient and (figureitvely) I can't wait for this game
neither can I?
i think i'm making it more for me to play
lol

[mattwo]

It's an MMO you have more than one player lol
O yea, I can map if you need a mapper.

Off Topic: Do you have MSN MSGer?

[Blacksprite]

yea i dont use it much tho
we'll do all the coding and then we'll target the maps in one swoop

[Hitman]

So blacksprite can i make a website for the game? pm me for details

[The Dash]

You should get him a example of your work, your really no use if you don't have anything to show.

[Blacksprite]

yea if you could get an example that would great

Pokemon Online (To Bland, Used Everytime)
Pokemon Network (Close To The Online Game Called Pokemon Battle Network)
The Rest (Sounds Like A Ds Game Or A Major Corparation That No One Likes)

Pokemon Universe
Pokemon: The Online Adventures
Pokemon Connected
Pokemon Enabled
Pokefriends
Pokemon Digital Network

end list
pls post opinion

Pokemon Digital Network (i think this is already a game)

[mattwo]

You should get him a example of your work, your really no use if you don't have anything to show.
If i could make links then I would

[The Dash]

Pokemon Linked Meh it seems a bit to generic to me. 6/10
Pokemon Universe Just plain don't like this one 1/10
Pokemon: The Online Adventures Plain dont like this one either...2/10
Pokemon Connected This one sounds alright. Best of all the ones you have on this list, 8/10

I still think Pokemon.NET would be good

[mattwo]

Pokemon: The Online Adventures 100/10

[Chazzy]

Hmm on the list you've given, well Pokemon: The Online Adventures would probly be best or Pokemon Connected, but Pokemon: The Online Adventures would be the best from the list you've given, although thats only my opinion.

[Pkmn_knight]

can i be mapper do i have to download a program
and i will need the tile sets

[Alistair]

I have a name: Pokémon Link.

[Hiidoran]

I do have a suggestion that I gave a project earlier, but they decided to stop the project. My name suggestion is: Pokemon Destinies

[zidanes]

I like the name, Pokemon Connected. Just a suggestion, the leader of this thread should make a poll for the game's name.

[RMXPUser462]

Pokemon Linked: good name 8/10

Pokemon Universe: naw 2/10

Pokemon: The Online Adventures: ............. 4/10

Pokemon Connected: not the best, but still good 7/10

[Blacksprite]

can i be mapper do i have to download a program
and i will need the tile sets

I have told you many times just to wait a bit until we have a stable version with the battle system up and running
the tilesets as you call them are inbuilt in the client

mattwo your mapping could do with a bit of work
in the pokemart you dont have any fringe layers and your using the tiles with shades on the which are used for around objects just a little bit of advice

all good opions and suggestion i'mm putting a poll in (Dont wory i found it)
please vote for which one
you would play based solely on the name

dont for get its an mmo so it kinda needs to covey that

[mattwo]

mattwo your mapping could do with a bit of work

what about Pokemon World ??

[Lipega]

sounds cool man ^^. Glad someone got he time to make this game idea. i have been working my own mmorpg(mindguiders.com/elfas) for a long time now. is its socket or xml fore the connects ion?

i have try to make a good game design on this idea but is hard, there are 2 things i what ti warn you about, the money and hero problem. in pokemon the hero is gifted, everyone cant be gifted. and you have no big use off the money you aford in pokemon.

if you struggle this problems out i can be a real good game and i look forward to play it ^^ keep working man

i will test making my own version when i got time...

[Hitman]

Also i have a question.. can you chat at the game?

[DININI]

Sounds really cool man! You're the best! I always wanted a pokemon mmorpg !
Keep it up!

[yuki123]

Also i have a question.. can you chat at the game?

you can
i like that
i like the whole concept :)

I love the GUI,
but it would be nice if it was a bit more...Pokémony?

Do NOT ask to be a tester if it has not been stated that it is needed.

Read the important threads, such as [URL-inline="showthread.php?t=65055"]this[/URL-inline] before you post.

[Blacksprite]

Yes im not looking for alpha testers the game is at a stage were we can test it our selves
I will notifey all of you to test the game when it is ready to be tested
at the moement we still setting up the server
at the moement its only got
3.82ghz prossesor
2 gb ram

Hitman
Pokemon world
sounds a bit like world of warcraft
but its still a good idea
if anyone else likes this or anyother name listed but not iclued in the poll let me no

dasheil

more pokemonay im really trying art was never my strong point
i made it in paint
ive never been much of a graphical person
any ideas to make it look more pokemony cos i agree it just needs to flow with the game
we were trying to link all the graphics in with that pokeball but it didn't go to well silver and red just dont go well together
post ideas on improvement if you could ppls

Lipega

ye your right we have had to work tielessly in the planning stages to work out the ecconomy
how money gets in and out etc
of course we wont no if it works until d-day

[The Dash]

well..Maby you should like add some Pokemon GFX to it, use a Pokémon font and Frame?
Edit: I had a go at making a UI but its not really that great. It's just to show what kinds of frams you should use (ones from the games) of course if you think its good you can use it XD

[Angle-san]

yep you can join team rocket
or create your own section with in team rocket
and the police
and we even have poke center / pokemart sub missions
Join TR that's pretty sweet ^^ also i know you said that right now you don't need testers but i'll be more than to help keep up on the progress

[notsure]

wow, a online pokemon game but is this game need window xp to play?

[djvolcom]

dasheil

the dev team has already go a nick name for it
PokemonTOA
Pokemon toa

[statnio]

Lol Hi everyone im Statnio Im the Key concept designer, head moderator (police) and alpha tester of the yet to be named Pokemon Online

[Lipega]

toa = wc in Swedish, hahahaha

[Blacksprite]

whats wc
toa means high cheif in maori
anyway so what do you guys think is that the one?

[The Dash]

Yeah it sounds good to me lol

[Blacksprite]

jtc11
said what about making it all one name

Pokemon Online Adventures
instead of
Pokemon - The Online Adventures
which one do you guys like

[Hitman]

I like "Pokemon Online Adventures" i have a question when it release will it come w/ a installer or WinZip ??

[DININI]

Me too! Pokemon online adventures .

[ShadowKP1]

I actually like Pokemon Link.

[Alistair]

Try making it browser-based.

[Blacksprite]

Yes we are planning to have an installer or self extracting archize
Browser-based me and jct11 had a big disscusion last night about this
but im still unsure we want this to have a fast server im just not sure that we could achive that browser based and it would mean alot of work changing it from what it is now
although i would like it browser based beacause it would mean more trafic to our site and i can have updates on there
bt for the moment its and exe

[Yuoaman]

"Pokemon Connected" it signifies the all will be connected in the game, and is very original.

[The Dash]

Do NOT make it browser based.
Im serious browser based games almost always suck.

Programs are so much more effective and powerful.

[Blacksprite]

Do NOT make it browser based.
Im serious browser based games almost always suck.

yes this is why me and the development team has agreed on it will be client program based

[The Dash]

Thank goodness lol.
Anyway (not trying to be pushy) think you could get us some new screenies any time soon?

[Blacksprite]

well i mean this is a very intracate game, im working on the battle system now
it aint pokemon without pokemon
ive just figued out how to communicate between 2 players

[statnio]

Hmm, I can't think of any reason he would say that... some sort of joke? Anyways... this game can't be expected to frabricate over series of weeks. Many month's work (sometimes years) are required to achieve a presentable build of the game. Give it time.

[Blacksprite]

yes its not overnight stuff my hopes at having the battle system done by the 8th are far off and we have decied that i might have it finished in a week or two (the battle system that is not the entire game)
theres sytill heaps we want to add and some things that need tweaking but if your lucky we might have a speacial relaease of the game just for you guys to test out the battle system

I think I tell this to everyone who starts a new pokemon mmorpg, simplicity and functionality > eye candy and useless side features, as long as you keep it simple, I think you can make it I seen like 8 mmorpgs fall apart in Id say 6 years and its usually due to them trying too hard to keep up with all the little request, as someone who genuinely wants to see you succeed Im tellin you screw the request, people want stuff like malls and a million customizable characters n crap because they dont understand how difficult gettin the game mechanics right is. I have been working with another group of people putting a 3d pokemon mmo together I specialize in strategy and game mechanics if you want a new crew memeber let me know


good luck ;)

[Blacksprite]

thanks very much for the offer of a crew member
but seeing that i got woken up at some ungodly hour of the morning (**** tsunami)
im actually midly surprised we have internet i thought the phone lines might be over run with calls like(were all going to die!) etc
but what can you do
im real busy today and tired which is probaly going to put me a day or 2 behind schedual
anyway we would love for you to join the team therews still loads of hard work to be done
so we appreciate all the input from you people here at the forum

welcome 2 da team Naas02

[rm2kdev]

Judgeing by the posts you have shown, THe size of the gameHDC and the font and colour of the text on the maps and that your coging this in visual basic id say your using mirage i have had 6 years of experiance with mmorpg development and i can usually tell a MS project when i see one :D not to say that anything is wrong with MS some of the most fruitful mmorpgs we have today were made with mirage :D forever winds online, eve 2 :D ect

just to let you all know Mirage Soruce aka MS is an open soruce mmorpg engine for visual baisc
playerworlds a basic mmorpg engine n00bs use is made from mirage soruce not many people use it but mirage soruce in its self is very good and has produced many mmorpg engines such as
ELysum
DBugged
Deloria ect

Hope your game progresses well if you ever need some coding help :) dont be afraid to pm me :D ive worked on many sucessfull mmorpgs :) and have extensive knolage in VB.C++.and c# both .net and Studio 6 :)

nice work keep them comming
must have taken you awhile but im glad to see them coming along nicely

does anyone no where i can get some battle chars (the ones when you see the oppistie trainer) this will be for a new feature im adding right now and the graphics are the only thing holding me up in this part

a reply to; rm2kdev

as far as i no this is not made in mirage
although geologic did use alot of code from existing engines
but alot of the stuff his his own work
i think he may have used some stuff for like a template a guideline

Other people breaking rules does not justify you, as a much more regular member, to break them as well (and on a more frequent basis). Grow up.

That's great! Does this mean that there is 42 functional sprites that one could choose to be? What all does it include? The walking/running/biking animations, etc?

This does not sound very good at all. You want us to help you get money by giving you false advertisement clicks that some company is paying for? Make your money legit... domain's aren't that expensive. It'll only cost you like 10$ tops.

[Blacksprite]

yes fully functional 42 sprites

Could be more. I see no reason why you cant click on the adds,
you want to support them dont you? One or two measly adds wont take up much of your time.

Dont forget Blacksprite is only 16, he might not have many ways of making money. Think about it.

I know I'm being off topic but I DON'T CARE.
Just because someone else breaks the rules, does not mean you are allowed to aswell.
Do not do it again.

Another Character Set update:
70 fully functional characters now in the game.
10% of all 700 characters being included into the character set currently.

[jtc11]

Could be more. I see no reason why you cant click on the adds,
you want to support them dont you? One or two measly adds wont take up much of your time.

Dont forget Blacksprite is only 16, he might not have many ways of making money. Think about it.

You misunderstand my reasoning. I have nothing against supporting this project or donating a moment of my time to help out, but clicking on ads to generate profits when I'm not even sincerely interested in the content I'm clicking, is a question or morals. The money has to come from somewhere doesn't it? In a case like this, it's coming out of the pockets of the sites being advertised. Does this sound "right" to you?

Wow! That was fast since the last update of 42... I'm really impressed that you can make so many sprites (and their bike animations, etc) so fast!

[Chizzy]

Whoa? A Possible 700 Charachters? I think an extra feature should be make your own OW sprite/Charachter...

[Selkie_warrior]

that would be cool hey blacksprite or whitesprite can you give us a tip of the started pokemon?BTW u both rock!

We arent gonna pay out of our pocket for web hosting to host a website for a game which you are expecting to play for free. We are currently using this advertisement and when the actual website gets up and running a "PayPal" donate button will be on the website, if this does not earn enough money to pay for yearly webhosting ($10 - $50)... i dunno, "pay-to-play" and "pay for pokemon money" maybe on the cards along with "close down"

Immoral? dont click the links then... we arent forcing you to click the links, just telling you that if you dont want the above things to happen, click the links... simple, because we need our first $10 to even get our donate button where the moral people, such as yourself can pay us for the priviledge of playing Pokemon TOA... what big $multi-million company is gonna miss $10?

I am currently on a roll, so I havent slept for 3 days, come to think of it, I've only left the computer for lunches...

Whoa? A Possible 700 Charachters? I think an extra feature should be make your own OW sprite/Charachter...

Well, 100 different types of characters and 7 colours of each are what we are aiming for currently, maybe more when we see how many of the same character is used in the game.
Second, we have thought about create your own character (habbo style) but currently we will stick to a set character set... maybe in the future though...

that would be cool hey blacksprite or whitesprite can you give us a tip of the started pokemon?BTW u both rock!

starting pokemon?
short answer: (yes I am copying blacksprite, yet again)
No :(

long answer:
no as we want this to be a suprise revealed on release (maybe never truely revealed every pokemon on the starting list), but i can tell you we have done extensive research to find a near perfect list of starting pokemon to make pretty much everyone unique...

and finally thankyou.... :) nice to see someone for once says I rock... darn blacksprite and geologic always insulting my knowledge of smart stuff :(

The Bit I have Boldened is what i want to focus on...How about Freewebs or Moon fruit? and 7 different colours...phew I didn't think that there were 700 different sprites!

[Alistair]

They need a lot of webspace for this project. 10-30 MegaBytes is not going to cut it. (I have a message board with 500MB of hosting space and that is not enough)

Anyway, keep on working on those sprites!

[xMeteorxStriker]

Hye dude i am stuck in dayton until next week but u can go to my sprite thread and use any of them u want it should be a link on my signature :)

Happy birthday Blacksprite
Please do not go off topic.
If you wish to congratulate him on his birthday, do so in the Celebrations sub-forum.

[Tyler]

its ok if people dont like it so i decided to remove it

oh and im 17 this saturday

well in 40 mins
its 11:20 here friday


new feature,
when you click on someone in game the little boc to your left displays their information
name trainer id and if they are looking for a battle

but if people want to support us its completly up to them heres the link agen
if you dont know what to do when you get there all you have to do is click some add links
click (http://www.kayo.vzz.net/filename.html)
remember you dont have to
well that ^ should solve the problem of me spamming cos its up to you

if anyone still thinks that its still imoral please post you opinions
admins if this is still spamming please contact me
Get off Ultra Host or what ever its called it gives me Viruses all the time.

[Blacksprite]

Get off Ultra Host or what ever its called it gives me Viruses all the time.

maybey its the site you view on host ultra
not hostultra itself?

but please people stay on topic
i didn't post here to have a social i wanted your opinion on the game

They need a lot of webspace for this project. 10-30 MegaBytes is not going to cut it. (I have a message board with 500MB of hosting space and that is not enough)

30 mbs you are joking right
try 80 to 100 mbs

Wow! That was fast since the last update of 42... I'm really impressed that you can make so many sprites (and their bike animations, etc) so fast!

all of them are made just not "written" into the game if that makes sense


I am currently on a roll, so I havent slept for 3 days, come to think of it, I've only left the computer for lunches...

thats just sad

Whoa? A Possible 700 Charachters? I think an extra feature should be make your own OW sprite/Charachter...

if you mean draw there own or put in there own picture, not possible

posiable starters, i may have left some clues in earlyier posts

...phew I didn't think that there were 700 different sprites!
theres not :)

oh and whitesprite keep up the good work
although you may need the newest client in order to test the sprotes properly

I was not talking about an estimate for the size of the game, that is how much the webhosts give you. I know that a game takes up a lot of space, and you also need space to store characters, so that bumbs it up to over 160MB. (Trust me, I know a lot about free hosts. It is not easy finding a good one.)

were on unlimited space and unlimited banwidth but the server itself can be on a host so charcter savegames will be on the main server
and i also think judging by the way whitesprite referd to this game as pokemon TOA that we have decided on that as our name which is good beacause having no name was slowing me down in coding now i have to go back through and find all the places which display our name

[Myth_Buster]

Well, I looked at your screenshots and I saw nothing special. I would like to see the battle system. You wrote in your 1st post that you had one. If you do I would like to see it. It would really help with the game hype. I want to see this game go far.......;) so that would be nice. And about VB6 I know of an engine that uses VB6. And looks very similar in the lay out also... here are some screenshots for all the people unfarimilar.

img209.imageshack.us/img209/6830/mainmenu0ko.png

Also I want to add I am not saying you are a liar but I am just saying it seems weird. This engine uses VB6 and you use VB6. Your game has the same layout. But here is something I want to add also. If you really use this engine which there is nothing wrong with why would you say anything about C++ or any of that when this engine has no realtion to C++ what so ever. Well good luck with your game and when your done anwsering those Questions I got a few more about coding to throw in there.

Edit: I was looking around and noticed you said that you were still working with the battle system so I will let that fly. But here is something I have a Question about "ive just figued out how to communicate between 2 players"...You made this following comment a few post back. Tell me if you made this source yourself why wouldn't you know the commands? I don't understand that.

First where in the first post did i say we have a fully functional battle system

2 i didn't make the entire server client thing
geologic made basically all of that
we use heaps of codes from other engines beacause we couldn't be bothered doing it ourselfs or didn't know how to do certain bits
c++ is used mainly for the server to pull uop and store data ie. pokemon storage system and item storage which geo had already made
edit by geo: and by no means do we take complete credit for everything used in our game (thats what credits are for:))

About the communication thing i just asked him the next day and he got going what was wrong with my bit of code

and please stay on topic.
this dosen't really have much to do with the game only how its made thats not the perpose of why i started this topic

So please stay on topic as its getting really anoying

That is quite the assumption that the companies represented within your ads are "multi-million" dollar entities... And ya I guess you are right... theft is ok if you only steal a little, isn't that the idea?

Don't get me wrong here, I really don't care whether some company takes a loss at your expense. But using the argument "it's just 10$" is not worth trying to back up... I'd stick with the "paypal donate" idea ;)

Hey whitesprite, does the current battlesystem now support 2on2 battling?

You said this "enable battle system fixed" so which means you have some work done on th battle system. But I don't care about that. The fact that you are using Elsyium (Just like playerworlds) and your saying that your using C++ and crap is ********. I hope you do well with your game but what is the point of lieing and if you ddi rip code from Elyisum that is illgeal you retard.

[Matt]

hmm...U do illegal game?Oh...
If u want to do good game do all by you or get permission from real person who do it.
idea is good...but its cheating.

anyway good luck(only if u start make it by urself)

thx , Matt.

[Alistair]

Myth Buster, do not swear. It is against community rules. Oh, and having some work done on the battlesystem does not mean that it currently runs.

And Matt, please speak so people can understand you.

Anyway, keep working on this game! Do not let it die.

[Morkula]

Myth_Buster, we have censors for a reason. Don't swear, evading the censors or not.
Next time it'll be a warning.

[Naas02]

Has anybody ever told you youre anonoying? And where did he say he was "ripping" code? Also just so you know the 3d pokemon mmorpg in my sig is using VB and C++ because theyre both easy to learn. The fact that you feel the need to find any and everything wrong this project is bull**** to be quite honest with you and it makes you sound like a hating retard. WHy dont you just say what you want to hear right now what is it, you want them to tell you theyre faking the game? Why does it matter time will tell, get a hobby and/or a life and chill out

[whitesprite]

You said this "enable battle system fixed" so which means you have some work done on th battle system

yes we have done SOME work on the battle system. Still loads to do though...

But I don't care about that. The fact that you are using Elsyium (Just like playerworlds) and your saying that your using C++ and crap is ********.

I think geologic would know if he used C++ or not... that guys a genius UNLIKE YOU

I hope you do well with your game but what is the point of lieing and if you ddi rip code from Elyisum that is illgeal you retard.

Lying aye... well we'll see when we release

and WHO said we RIPPED code?

i believe blacksprite said

we use heaps of codes from other engines beacause we couldn't be bothered doing it ourselfs or didn't know how to do certain bits
c++ is used mainly for the server to pull uop and store data ie. pokemon storage system and item storage which geo had already made
edit by geo: and by no means do we take complete credit for everything used in our game (thats what credits are for)

and ripping code is not illegal IF you credit the original creator of whatever you are using AND if the code is open source... so from the above statement, I think we are doing this legally considering elysium, mirage etc are open source...

and finally to Myth_Buster... p*** off we dont need your idiotic accusing mind in this discussion

[Matt]

I think ripping code is not illegal IF you credit creator + u have his/her permission.
anyway good luck in project I think u keep it out.

thx , Matt.

[Blacksprite]

and like whitesprite said elysium, mirage and a buch of other engines remarkably similar to each other, mainly beacause they are open source.
and yes geo logic did see most of thesse engines (although it would be extremly difficult to do this game with anyone alone) and geo thought that he could do it (i had no doubt absoloute genius) he having extensive knowledge of programming (and i say i did little server client work) used all thesse engines and othewr sources as a template kinda spliced them togther to get what we wanted, but we belive in the end when we are finished it will be completly diffrent as we are rewriting loads of code everyday.

[jtc11]

Will there be weather effects on the Pokemon world? As in night/day, rain/shine, etc. And if so, will it be specific to certain area's like in the game? For example, one city is always snowing (or is it ash?)...

[whitesprite]

I know we have night/day, rain/snow/hail/etc. but in certain areas, blacksprite?

[DeathChill]

I'm sorry, but I highly doubt someone who has to basically splice together a WHOLE BUNCH of other engines to make anything is very unlikely to be able to create anything advanced like the Pokemon games, while adding the huge element of online play. If you have problems figuring out how to get two players to communicate how are you going to create an entire battle system that relies on communication between the client and server?

I don't mean to be rude but I just find it hard to believe that someone who speaks unintelligable English is going to be able to program this game. I REALLY don't mean to offend you, it's just I find it very difficult to believe. This is 100% not an insult, just an observation; if I'm wrong feel free to tell me.

What the hell does english skills have to do with coding... and geo logic isnt even saying anything so how can you tell how bad his english is?

Simple, THEY ARE ALL MADE FROM THE SAME PROGRAM... MIRAGE

first, the server is mostly not involved in battles...
second, blacksprite was coding the server/client communication... Geo Logic is coding the battle system
third,BLACKSPRITE HAS FINISHED SERVER/CLIENT COMMUNICATION... MONTHS AGO
fourth, the same as above but for client/client

[Blacksprite]

yes its true many engines are based on eahc other

and where they *** has everyone got this idea thta we haven't go player communication thats all sorted now
the server client connection stuff is done
oh and white sprite you have this around the wrong way
blacksprite was coding the server/client communication... Geo Logic is coding the battle system

the cl
