My skills are at your disposal.
Your forest code will be quite handy, as I intend on having a number of different villages, all accessible through trudging through the forest (and plains, and swamps, etc), but I want to expand on it, using a coordinate system, so that players will know what direction to head for various destinations.

I know on my own server, once I get a running version of it going, I'm going to have other cities closer, so you can get there on the second game day at the latest (unless you get lost...then you're in trouble...I might throw some "street signs" in there on certain coordinates).
My server won't have a way to buy turns (at least not in the base city), so I don't want people stuck for days with nothing to do but move South.

Okay, here it is... it isn't user friendly and it isn't pretty, but this IS my forest2.php script that we call the DEEP forest. In order to access it in legendgard, you must purchase a map and you must be at least wealthy with quest points.. .This file is obviously server specific and it's not the real public release, so don't expect it to just pop in and work like most of them do.

There are lots of other files that tie into this one, but I figure if you guys can take a look at it, you'll spark some ideas and begin to figure it out.

Post here with your thoughts.

Strider: Just downloaded it, and will scour it when I have some available free time to dedicate to it. Might not be for a bit, as its Mardi Gras here in New Orleans....people have to have their priorities straight.

Khatfield: I know how you feel. I've gained inspiration from what I've seen in Legendgard, and have ideas to add to my own. I'm trying to keep it different enough so its not just copying what I see, but saying "thats a good idea...I could do something in that vein" and running that direction. I'd eventually like my own server to be as complex as Strider's, but not the same...so the gameplay is just that varied, but its unique in itself.

::sighs softly, missing New Orleans quite a bit::

Aye, I did a Labyrinth of Jareth Masquerade Ball in New Orleans a couple of years ago at the Omni Royal. Twas a pretty cool place to throw an event. Rather miss it these days.

As for the deep forest, check it out and let me know what you think. Tis not "ALL" of my tricks, but might be something to help get you guys started and see how I made it work.

Thank you for your compliments on Legendgard. Next week I intend to bring more depth of Eythgim and add two new Quests, perhaps restart the war scripts with some new improvements.

I'm glad you guys get inspiration from these roguish stories upon my realm and I hope you continue to enjoy them. The work you place here is great feedback for me and helps fuel my own progression.

It depends on which files you're looking for. There are about 20 different files I have called "Deep Forest Scripts" and they range from another village to a random gypsy encampment, events, an enemy fort as part of the war scripts, the enchanted lands (not yet finished) and dueling castles. . .

But those are all really destinations more than anything else. The heart of it is the forest2.php . All other destinations are yours to discover. If you have a specific question, I'll answer it, but this really isn't a "Plug and Play" style mod.
