Pokemon Online mmorpg

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

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.

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

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?
