Can you make it do other stuff besides just doing "$coins=$posts;"? Can you do more complex things with it? It would be great to get into the nitty-gritty of what kind of things that it could do.  I think that it is possible to make extra options in the account/profile menus that modify... extra useless things. On another forum (using this forum engine or whatever you call it) I've seen a "class" pulldown menu that lets you choose something like archer/mage/whatever. We could make one that has the game's races/classes then display unique things for each combination... Heh heh, I just want to get my hands dirty in that useless stuff! ;D |

Yes, it is possible to do all that stuff. That's the beauty with Proboards, it is mega-customisable! I'll get some stuff done mate! Should we have a different currency than 'coins'? Fenrir, what is their currency called? |

Ah, they're just copper, silver, and gold coins. I couldn't have been bothered into making something creative.
But as for classes and other things, I dunno Bolg, do you think we can do something like on O-R, with classes, allegences and all sorts of cool and evil things. I think that would make us seem a little closer to the game we're creating!

Right, what do you want? We can either have races and classes or a really cool funky fancy shop.

Um, do the things you buy in the shop do anything? If not, I think I'd rather have the races and classes.

It looks like the top few things in the shop change your mini-profile, then the other things must add pictures to the mini-profile (I guess). Can I ask where you got the scripts for these things, I'd like to take a peek at them. I like code. Even though I don't understand a lot of it. ;D |

You like to code, huh? Hmm...you know, once we are almost done, we'll need a website to serve as a home-site for the game (like us.games-workshop.com or www.one-ring.co.uk) and be a place: A.) To sell the game. B.) To create articles and keep interest for the game high C.) Just to improve the game as players post comments If you'd like, would you be able to do it? And I don't know, maybe Bolg will agree to letting you be an admin so you can do all the coding to this site as you want! |

About letting me admin ---I'd probably screw up this site somehow. I have a forum that I made just for experimenting with different scripts. So... meh. I just want to see where Bolg got his scripts from. About making/coding a site ---I know how to code a little in html and javascript (I also have my copy of Flash 7 that I could dust off if we needed to...), but i'm not good at making things pretty. At all.  Also, to do anything really good, we need some server-side script coding (like PHP), which I have no knowledge of. I don't mind learning more (I honestly love doing that). If I actually had a purpose to learn more I'd work harder at it. About hosting a site. ---Well I have a peice-of-**** server (it literally was held together with masking tape for a long while) that is only worthy of use by a small circle of people. Its webserver is set up to only let a max of 20 people on at a time as to not kill the computer (and believe me, it would kill it). In order to get a domain name and a decent server, we need money. ...and I ain't coughin' up no dough! (Not as it stands anyway.) |

The items look pretty, but at the moment they don't actually do anything. I might develop a kind of RPG forum though as a bit of fun! The items will then do something (modify stats etc.). ------ I got all of the code from the Proboards Support forum in the Code Index thread. ------ About making you an admin Grumble, probably not at the moment. It would be a bit awkward for a few reasons but I will consider it for a later date! ------ Making/hosting a site I can do, so if you want I could make a bit of a start if you tell me what you want. I've got nothing better to do! |

I don't really want to anyway.  (EDIT: includes all of below) If you've got the time/resources to make/host the website, then... yay! ;D What are your areas of expertise when it comes to this kind of thing? What languages do you know? |

Lol, the funny thing is I don't really know much of any programming language! I did this site in Microsoft Word for the clan I'm in on KoL: www.triforceterrors.co.ukPretty good eh? |

Oh, ok that's-- wait, did you say Word? WORD??? Blasphemy!  lol That site looks decent (a couple of formatting things could be cleaned up), but this computer is giving me trouble with the links... among other things. I'll try it again when I get home. ---- How do you get your domain names/servers though? I don't know any good ways.  |

Ok, now that I'm on my computer as opposed to the school computers, it looks better. The formatting issues went away, and the links work. Also it looks like your font is working now. ( Praise firefox!) So I looked at some of the pages' source code, and it made me cry  (no, not literally :  . I don't like using Word for making websites because it adds useless junk that makes some browsers (and even some servers, or so I've heard) vomit on you. It also inflates the filesize quite a bit. hmph... sorry if I sound harsh at all. I'm very particular about these things.  |

How in the heck did you get on this site one the school's computers?
But anyways, if Dan hires me, I'll be putting a bunch of my paycheck towards this game, so no worries about money...unless I don't get hired...so, we'll be in great shape! Good site Bolg. Like GG said, a few things could be cleaned up...but the GW site is like that too, so we're good!
