SMF For Free Support Forum

Point being?


The RPG is over 1,000 users and almost used on 200 boards(Mostly ZetaBoards). Need more SMF For Free users.

Some updates. I've added in a few things, and fixed a couple bugs that weren't supposed to be. One thing I added was the option for Game Masters to promote players to Game Moderator. Game Moderators at the moment can only Edit Accounts, which is great. Another, Game Masters can now fully edit any created monster, weapon, armor, item, and accessory on their board now.


I also added in a Fame system as well. Players with good fame get discounts in the marketplace. Game Masters and Game Moderators can also edit a players fame through the Edit Accounts page. Fame also affects player Alignment.

Game Masters can ALSO add a weapon as a reward when creating a quest, I will be adding item/accessory/armor soon. GM's can set a certain weapon to be sold in the shop or not, which this would bring more value to items!

Experience(XP) amount per Challenge Rating(CR) on player level has been updated.

Monster Challenge Rating(CR) has been increased to 20 instead of 10 now. This means that for your "tougher" monsters you can increase their CR to award more XP.

Player Level cap increased to 70.

Quests posted on the quest board in Town can now be ordered however the Game Master would like. Settings are in the RPG CP > RPG Settings > Town Settings.
Moderator Logs are now posted for Game Masters to access via RPG CP > Moderator Logs.
Game Moderators can now have access to any creator that a Game Masters appoints them to.
Reset RPG Profile.
SMF For Free availability.

Game Masters can now appoint Game Moderators access to any creator. Do note that they must be promoted to Game Moderators before they can have that access.

In addition with the creator access, Game Masters can now view Moderator Logs. These are actions logged whenever a Game Moderator does something with an assigned creator, or even an account edit - the Game Master will know.

Also! I've created a password reset system for players that sometimes forget their passwords, they can now reset them with this new system.

Zeta RPG is currently favored on 151 boards, serving a total of 923 users

I think this thing itself is an entire Suite.

Some news of the game if you haven't read about it:

---

The game comes with a complete RPG CP where you can edit just about everything from monsters/items/accessories/weapons/armor/etc.

Achievements for you to earn.

Player to Player donations.

Real time player vs player battles.

Fame system.

Currently 2 game add-ons that you can add to your board through the RPG CP - a lottery system and a game called Merlin's Magical Boxes.

Battle System
The previous battle system was time based with an active time bar. Wasn't really cutting it and was easily manipulated(Thanks to Gor for pointing that out). The new battle system cannot be manipulated as it's turn based and is set by the server for action turns on each side.

• Turn Based. Still greater initiative at the start of battle determines who goes first, and if you leave the battle to go post on the forum or something and it was to be your turn to attack next, you can still come back and it will be your turn.
  
• Monsters. These have been heavily modified, they are now rated by their body size, weapon damage, health, etc. If they are a monster of Colossal size and you are a Gnome of Small size - the monster clearly has the advantage and thus gives an attack bonus to itself and you suffer with a penalty because of the size.
  
• Melee and Ranged weapons. Melee weapons will not have any effect on how you go first in a battle, on the other hand a Ranged weapon will always give you the upper hand in combat. Melee weapons also are effected by their weapon size, the larger the weapon is the higher the critical damage will be.
  
• Magical items. These include Weapons and Armor. They are most beneficial in any way, created to be better than a Normal type item because of it's enhancements. An example Magical Weapon would be my Greatsword of Slaying. It's no ordinary Greatsword, it has an enhancement AND an ability. The enhancement would grant me extra damage on the attack and the ability would as well, such as fire/ice damage.
  
• Favored Monster. If you fight a monster more than others it will show you your favored monster.
  

Registration
Upon registration you will see 2 extra sections. These are Race, and Class. Race and Class literally determine your character. While logging into the game for the first time after creating your character you will get some die rolls. These rolls, on the first round, will determine your ability scores(STR,DEX,INT,CON,WIS,CHA). You may re-roll as many times as you like. Your second roll will be to roll for your amount of health points(Remember, that each race/class will allow for smaller/greater dice to roll for this), and you will get a bonus to your health points from your Constitution modifier if your CON is great enough - otherwise a penalty. Your third roll will produce your Skills, these include Climb/Jump/Balance/Swim/Move Silently/Pick Lock/Search/Speak Language/Use Rope/Heal Everyone of those Skills will have an effect in the game. If you've chosen a Cleric/Sorcerer/Wizard you get to choose 2 spells. These include Cure Light Wounds/True Strike/Magic Missile/Flaming Sphere/Magic Weapon/Dispel Magic/Lightning Strike. You also get Feats, but those are only attained during levels up.

What the code does: Not your ordinary "code". This serves as some entertainment for your board. If you know about Dungeons & Dragons, then you will get the feeling that this is like it. The game-play is similar, battle system-wise.

You can get information all about the game here: Game News

Copyright: slayer766
Known Bugs: There are these noted: http://s1.zetaboards.com/ZetaRPG/forum/1545541
Installation: A few steps to follow. Actual RPG installation on your board will take place after you create your player account, once you add everything to your board below:


Step 1. Go into your Admin CP > Manage Styles > Headers/Footers > Headers:

Make sure you have this in there
Code:
<script src="/jquery.js"></script>
<div class="tborder" id="theslayerday" style="display:none;"><div class="titlebg2">RPG</div>
<table id="zbslay" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%">
<tr valign="top">
<td width="13%" valign="top"><div class="tborder"><div class="titlebg2">Menu</div><span id="left_menu"></span></div></td>
<td width="67%" valign="top"><div class="tborder"><div class="titlebg2">Main</div><span id="rpg_content"><br /><br /><div align="center"><img src="http://209.85.62.24/461/174/0/p369636/ajax_loader.gif" alt="Loading..."></div><br /><br /></span></div></td>
<td width="20%" valign="top"><div class="tborder"><div class="titlebg2">Character</div><span id="right_menu"></span></div></td>
</tr>
<tr><td colspan="3" id="players_area"></td></tr>
</table>
<div id="rawr"></div>
</div>

In your Footers, place this in there:
Code:
<script type="text/javascript">var the_url=$("td.maintab_active_back a").attr("href").split("http://")[1].split("index")[0];$("td.maintab_back:first").after("<td valign='top' class='maintab_back'><a href='http://"+the_url+"index.php?pages/rpg'>RPG</a></td>");</script><script type="text/javascript" src="http://209.85.62.24/461/174/0/p343528/RPGvD.js"></script>

Now Save Headers and Footers. Then that's it for the board installation. The in-game board activation has instructions on how to activate it and everything. But if you need help after this just let me know. After you've done that you can now play the game, or add images for weapons/armor/etc. or set game settings through the RPG CP.

Please let me know how this goes as I sort of rushed this over for SMF For Free. XD

Nah it's not down, I removed it.

I'm not working on v1 anymore, if anyone has ideas/suggestions for v2 - please post them here: http://www.smfsupport.com/support/general_chat/smf_for_free_store_mod_v2-t29178.0.html

I asked him to PM me, since he is requesting this and it will be for his board, it requires PHP & a webhost for the MySQL database to store the info.

He could post it here if he wants everyone else to use it, though then I'm not going to be hosting this for everyone to use...they'll have to get their own hosting and upload the files and whatnot then.
