What language is the scripting done in?

What do you mean what language all I know is they have these things in the scripts.

If GetPlayerAccess(Index) = ADMIN_MONITER Then Call GlobalMsg("The Moderator " & GetPlayerName(Index) & " has joined " & GAME_NAME & "", DarkGrey) Call AdminMsg(GetPlayerLogin(Index) & "/" & GetPlayerName(Index) & " has logged in from " & GetPlayerIP(Index) & "", White) ElseIf GetPlayerAccess(Index) = ADMIN_MAPPER Then Call GlobalMsg("The Mapper " & GetPlayerName(Index) & " has joined " & GAME_NAME & "", Cyan) Call AdminMsg(GetPlayerLogin(Index) & "/" & GetPlayerName(Index) & " has logged in from " & GetPlayerIP(Index) & "", White) ElseIf GetPlayerAccess(Index) = ADMIN_DEVELOPER Then Call GlobalMsg("The Developer " & GetPlayerName(Index) & " has joined " & GAME_NAME & "", Blue) Call AdminMsg(GetPlayerLogin(Index) & "/" & GetPlayerName(Index) & " has logged in from " & GetPlayerIP(Index) & "", White) ElseIf GetPlayerAccess(Index) = ADMIN_CREATOR Then Call GlobalMsg("The Godly " & GetPlayerName(Index) & " has joined " & GAME_NAME & "", Red) Call AdminMsg(GetPlayerLogin(Index) & "/" & GetPlayerName(Index) & " has logged in from " & GetPlayerIP(Index) & "", White) Else Call GlobalMsg(GetPlayerName(Index) & " has joined " & GAME_NAME & "", Cyan) Call AdminMsg(GetPlayerLogin(Index) & "/" & GetPlayerName(Index) & " has logged in from " & GetPlayerIP(Index) & "", White) End If End Sub

just so you know... I saw this on your website
"IP: 192.168.1.4
Port: 62"

That IP address is a privately assigned IP address and is only valid with computers under your same router.

yes, that is Visual Basic. What kind of help are you looking for in a scripter/lead scripter? What kind of help are you looking for in a Website Developer? I do both as my full-time job (programmer and webdesign).

---

For scripters/lead scripters I really need help for scripting the whole game with new features for example, you could fish, mine, buy houses, and etc.
For web designers I need them to keep organizing the website like arranging the downloads, announcements and such so do you think you could handle that?

Your graphics look really cool. I would suggest asking again after the competition, you might still find available people now, but you'll find even more after the Speed Game Competition.

Not what I said...I meant to wait to ask people to help with your game after the competition is over, there will be more people available to help with your game after the competition is over.

If there's a script that I want deleted like if I don't want that script I'll just tell you to delete it and if you worked hard for that script just tell me because I'm just going to keep it if you did.

Howdy all! Check out http://art.twobrotherssoftware.com/shs.html, my latest CD.

If you ain't in the forums, you in the againstums :)

First of all, welcome!

Now I don't want to sound like I'm trying to rain on your parade here, but it sounds like (I may be wrong) that this entire game is made with RPG maker, which is a fine way to start if you're interested in level design.

However, if you're interested in making your own game, making a game in with an RPG maker will A) not really be your game and B) really limit you in what you can do.

The reason I make this assessment is because I've seen many games made with RPG makers that look very similarly to that. In addition the people with the skillsets you requested covers pretty much every aspect. It would see that if the game was hand-made, that you would have no need of those people.

So, here would be my advice if you really want to get into game development either vocationally or for hobby.

1. Develop a "hands and feet" skill: Lots of people want to "write the story" of a game, but honestly, there's only one spot for that position so it's hard to get. What is really helpful is to develop as "hands and feet" skill. What I mean by this is that a skill that every development team needs and needs lots of people to do it. Learn how to do graphic design or programming. Gain a "hands on" skill that everyone needs to increase how valuable you become to a team.

2. Start Small - as the old ventures song is titled, Walk, Don't Run. Start with something basic before moving to greater things. You can't run if you can't walk. On the flip side, once you can walk, don't be afraid to try to run.

Now, if you're looking to lead a team, I would suggest the following:

1. Get Organized: A good leader is an organized leader. And an organized leader is one who can take what he's thinking and transcribe it on paper and every team member can then read it and fully understand. I cannot emphasize enough the importance of organization and technical documentation.

2. Manage People: managing people is a task in and of itself. People tend to follow the leader. It's the leader's responsibility to make sure things are getting done properly. Sometimes you need to be a little bit pushy, but not in a mean and condescending way. Management is a career in and of itself, I cannot fully describe it in this post. But some key points are.

1. Ability Assessment - Assess the abilities of members on your team

2. Task Delegation - Delegate tasks to team members according to their abilities.

3. Don't instantly accept work people do. If the work is a bit subpar or lacking in anyway. Don't say "It's great!" and accepting the work they did because you feel obliged to because they volunteered. Encourage them to improve. Don't be like "It sucks, do it again", be like "This is good, but..."

4. Push people out of their comfort zones... and manage the chaos that ensues - People will often be unsure of what they can really achieve and often afraid to try new and harder things. Push people outside of those comfort zones and encourage them to push the limits of their abilities. Things might get a bit hairy, but a good leader can handle it.

5. Be optimistic, Be optimistic, but not ignorant. Always assess the real situation and don't let your optimism be founded in ignorant bliss. But as the leader, you are responsible for the mood of the project. If you are pessimistic, everyone else will be and your project will fail.

5. Be Knowledgeable, this can be the hardest part, but on a development team you have graphic artists, musicians, programmers, sound engineers etc. You have a wide variety of skillsets to work with. It's very difficult to work with coders if you don't know any code. You don't have to be brilliant at all of these but at least knowledgeable enough to communicate. It can also help as in you can fill in the holes that your team members miss. This can relate to the first point of developing "Hands and feet" skills.

This may be all over your head, maybe not. I have no idea who you are, how old you are and where you're at.

And I'm not saying all this to rain on your parade, but to try to give you some advice.

Well first of all Legends of Heldron is made of a free 2d mmorpg maker system called X-Realms where thers make their own game with. I know other free 2d mmorpg maker systems such as:

Eclipse
Elysium Diamond
Players World

But I decided X-Realms would be beter so your right about this entire game made of an RPG Maker.

Listen, we really need to talk about your game. I would love to get "in-game" and chat but I can't. You sent me the client and the server and told me to connect to an internal IP address. For an online game like this, you have to have only 1 server running with external IP address. You have some really good stuff here and I would like to be apart of this project. Please, respond to my latest email and let's see what we can get going.

Thanks,
Jeremy

Well, I got an email from iday this morning:

Hey Jeremy,

I've got bad news....
Since my friends are making a game they've asked me to be one of their mapper and I could be part of the owner too so they told me to help them and I want to so I guess no more Legends of Heldron after all. They really needed one more mapper to complete their crew so I woudn't let my friends down. Sorry Jeremy for having you to email me and stuff. If you want to keep the game for yourself and change everything and even delete the maps and start over the server.

Jason

@iday - I'm not going to take the maps, but I do wish you good luck in your new venture!
