Copyright infringement is a crime, we don't have any intentions of breaking it intentionally. I have added a few new monsters to the game, but the most noteable one is Dark Dweller, it is a scaling opponent who scales itself to match your power and then some. You can always fight the Dark Dweller no matter what level you are. http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=73 http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=73 Mon, 23 Apr 2007 06:23:30 -0700 I'm now working on a little thing that'll allow special triggers and set bonuses. At the moment I am using the previously staff-only set, Iosis Breaker, Iosis Defender & Iosis Plate. Current Bonuses for Iosis Breaker: Weakness Seeking It will use the opponents highest ElemForce value to set its Element! Example Flame: 190 Freeze: -100 Earth: 100 Those are the defences (not all elements but meh) It would choose Flame as its element dealing more damage! However if the opponents element is Medigo it will change its element to Medigo and deal 3 * times the normal damage. (Medigo elemental damage will also be * .5 for even more damage. Complete Set Bonus Lower the physical and power attacks of the opponent my a massive 20% giving you a huge advantage in battle! It will also prevent status effects on your character and increase your defence depending on your characters level! I will be adding more bonuses to the other pieces as well http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=72 http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=72 Thu, 19 Apr 2007 08:43:31 -0700 I'm in the middle of re-working the defences, I have already modified the ElemForce defence workings, so it works percentile based instead of the cacky way it used to! I will also be working on fixing the hit and miss workings, as I believe when you get to a certain point, you can dodge the opponents all too easy! I am going to try and change this so its more fair! http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=71 http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=71 Wed, 18 Apr 2007 06:28:33 -0700 Just making some more modifications to the way powers are used. The way it is now allows Monsters to have more than four powers, as many as the powers database contains! I'm also reworking the status effects! http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=70 http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=70 Mon, 16 Apr 2007 11:22:51 -0700 Wow... another update to the battle engine (both!) The first update is the powers replacing skills and spells! The first thing is once you've bought a power, it stays with you permanent, its more of a learning thing, so once you've bought it, you permanently know it! Secondly, there is no need to change styles, as there aren't two types of Crystal Force usage! Only one! Have fun with that! = P The final change to the battle engines, is that your turn is saved keeping the attack type (physical, crystal force or item) and if you used an item or power it will save that so you don't have to go searching through your list! The next part is just just to say you can now buy powers and I've given every character an additional 100000 Gold and 3000 Crystal! Enjoy! http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=69 http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=69 Sun, 15 Apr 2007 17:31:18 -0700 I am in the middle of a big change with the usage of spells and skills. Instead of having skills and spells, you will just have powers. Saddly, this means you will have to purchase all equipment again, but as a method of saying I'm sorry, I'll give all current characters a boost in both Crystals & Gold for you purchase things back! Sorry for the pain this causes http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=68 http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=68 Sun, 15 Apr 2007 12:53:44 -0700 I have finally fixed the issue with the Battle Engine. It was being a bit fussy about the battle log messages. It was a simple problem but took me hours to resolve, I don't know why I missed the error... But ah well, its fixed now and things are working 100%! *thinks about adding an error log... hmmm* Anyway, its time for me to make a start on the next big thing. I'm not telling you what that is though! Hehehe Comments people? http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=67 http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=67 Wed, 11 Apr 2007 15:40:37 -0700 The item shop is now open, I'm not sure whether or not to make the selling option available for it, but it most probably will I'll see what I feel like after work! http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=66 http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=66 Sat, 07 Apr 2007 08:32:18 -0700 You can now use items in a battle. I've still yet to add the ability to purchase items, but it'll be here soon. So far there are only three items within Realms of Eternity PvP Medal PvP Medals will be used as a trading resource that can be used to purchase special items only available through PvP Purchases! One use only Life Healer Replenesishes 30 Life Force to the character, can be used five times before it is discarded. Can be bought for 10 Gold. Bomb Deals 60 (before defences are applied) Flame damage to the opponent, it can only be used once before it is discarded. There will be a lot more when the shop is open Comments anyone? http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=65 http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=65 Fri, 06 Apr 2007 18:28:09 -0700 Fixed a few bugs here and there (thanks Johnn) and I've also worked a few kinks on the battle systems Crystal Force gains/losses! I've added a couple of new monsters, and balanced again. New Monsters Flame Orb Blazing Orb Angel of Suffering http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=64 http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=64 Mon, 02 Apr 2007 03:54:54 -0700 Bettered? Meh! Anyway, I've made a snazzy little modification to the RPGs battle engines! No need for me to tell you what it is though, I think you can see for yourself Comments, people? http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=63 http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=63 Sun, 01 Apr 2007 13:14:29 -0700 Well, I've finished the anti-abuse systems for mining, fishing and forestry! So you can't just refresh and keep gaining resources! So there, damn spammers! You know who you are! *cough*Daryl*cough* As well as this I finally managed to fix the bugs on the Battle Logs, you can now see your logs! Time to work on Character Inventory! Yay! Comments people? Please? PLLLLLEASSSE!!!?!? http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=62 http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=62 Sat, 31 Mar 2007 18:07:27 -0700 At the moment, I'm doing some slight work to the RPGs resource engines, just to prevent abuse of the refresh feature! I have already done forestry! It wont be long until all of 'em have the function built in! I've also added and fixed a few things in both battle types! Once I have fininshed with the abuse fixes, I will start the character inventory as well as finishing the battle logs which are already stored in the database since the release. I've just gotta do some work on the javascript I am using! http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=61 http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=61 Sat, 31 Mar 2007 07:27:31 -0700 Okay! Realms of Eternity's new battle engine and PvP are now here! As well as the ability to purchase pets too! Some Monsters have gone under a litte balancing too! Soon I will be releasing more equipment and opponents for everyone to use! Well more updates soon! http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=60 http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=60 Tue, 27 Mar 2007 13:33:47 -0700 Well, I have finally finished the PvP battle engine! W00000p! Now I just need to get the moderators to have a go at testing it! There are still a few things to do here and there, but they are just simple things! Well, this'll be released soon, as soon as I can get everything straightened out! ^_^ Comments? http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=59 http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=59 Sun, 25 Mar 2007 18:33:19 -0700 I am now fairly far into the RPGs Player Vs. Player engine, you can now challenge players and the battle is in its first steps. It still won't be released for a little while yet, but it'll be cool when it has been released! ^_^ http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=58 http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=58 Sun, 25 Mar 2007 04:28:50 -0700 The Evolution Battle Engine is now complete! But it wont be released for a while, well not untill Player Vs Player is released. Please use the following links for screenshots of the Evolution Battle Engine Example One Example Two Example Three, the final stage Those are links to the evo-battle in its various stages, the top one being the earlier of forms and the bottom link being the most recent stage of development. Now I will start work on the Player Vs Player! It should be okay to do, just time consuming with testing and the like! http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=57 http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=57 Mon, 19 Mar 2007 07:48:24 -0700 Well I thought I'd give you all an idea of how things are going with the 'Evolution Battle Engine' Pets Pets now do damage in battle! Battle Log The users attack logs is now 100%, so now I have to do the Monster attack log Monsters I have started development of the Monster attack section! PvP Nothing new here I'm afraid! :( Comments? http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=56 http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=56 Sun, 18 Mar 2007 04:28:13 -0700 Well I thought I'd give you all an idea of how things are going with the 'Evolution Battle Engine' Skills Upgrade I felt somewhat mean, just letting Spells have the status effects, so now skills will have these status effects as well! However, they will not be introduced untill Evolution has been released. Extra Stats I have completed the extra stats engine, this'll allow you to boost your characters stats, giving them more edge in battle. I will soon released the character building page so you can start developing your characters Pets Not much yet has happened on the pet side of things, but I have sorted out the stats, pet database and its inventory spot on the user. Battle Log The battle log is coming along just fine, looking a ton better than the previous one, however its nowhere near finished! I've still got to work on weapon attack logs and monster attack logs! Monsters The monster database has been upgraded so the opponents now have skills and spells as well as their normal attacks, however, they cannot use them yet. Monsters also have Crystal Force. Layout the layout has been completed! It wont be released untill Evolution is released! PvP Nothing apart from the PvP database has been worked on! http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=55 http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=55 Sat, 17 Mar 2007 10:32:24 -0700 Finally, guilds and housing attacks are now available for all registered users! Please visit the guilds page Guilds Please visit the housing page Housing Heh, I thought this was all a little tooooo brief, so I thought I'd beef it up a little! >> Future Plans Once I've tweeked with the database and evolved the battle engine it will be a lot better! And I mean a lot better! News Battle Engine Features: 1) Monster Crystal Force, this will allow for the monster to use the same skills and spells as you do, giving battles more variety! 2) Monster Skills & Spells Monsters will soon have the ability to attack with more than their boring ol' physical attacks, giving you reason to have higher PDP & MDP! 3) Player Pets Players will soon be able to purchase a pet, you will only be able to have one pet on you at a time, so pick carefully! Pet Features Pets will have the ability to either attack the opponent or heal the player! Pets will rely upon a new attribute known as Charisma, where the higher it is, the better the pets effects! 4) Improved battle messages The battle messages will become more informative, giving information on what happened that attack, such as CF costs, spells/skills cast that turn, pet damage, healing amounts etc, this will all be saved within a 'battle log' where you can read up on your battles and people will be able to see how skillful you are at fighting! With this addition, all wins and loss meters will be reset, so go get yourself killed as many times as you like! 5) Random Crystal Drop As a new way of picking up valuable Crystals, I will make a randomizer to give your character some crystals, this will rely upon the new stat, exploration, both increasing amounts gained and likelihood of finding crystals. 6) New Layout I've decided that the current layout of the battle is a bit... well... poor, and could do with a revamp. Well, I believe thats the plans for the monster battle system! BUT!!! (drum roll please... okay that was sad!) P V P! Thats right, lemme say it again. P V P! I am going to attempt PvP (player vs player), hopefully it'll bring more interaction to the game! The idea of RoE - PvP Okay, heres the jist of what RoE's PvP will be like You find a character you wanna fight (it'll have to be within a certain restriction, so like they must be 10 levels above or 5 levels below for the challenger), Once you've chosen your victim, you will send them a PvP request, they will then receive a message in their battle requests inbox, where they'll choose whether or not to accept the challenge, while sending the challenge, the challenger will issue a 'bet', whoever wins the battle, recieves this 'bet'. Now in battle, everything'll be familliar to the Monster Battle, except of having a taunt-box, where you'll be able to send messages through a tagboard-esque messenger, the idea of this is to increase interactivity even more I will also be including a little bit o' AJAX Magic, so the user can detect whether or not it is their turn! If it is, then the page'll be refreshed! Now... I believe thats the news article beefed up a bit! Have some of that ^.^ Comments people? http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=54 http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=54 Tue, 13 Mar 2007 16:10:56 -0700 I have just fixed a few bugs within the Encounter System! Strangely it was not only giving every character a bonus when a player leveled up it wasn't updating the characters current status! Ah well that is fixed now! Because of this all of the current players (bar me) will have strange LF amounts for their levels! But don't worry they wont mess with your play! http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=49 http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=49 Mon, 26 Feb 2007 08:27:04 -0800 Very soon RoE will have two new releases! 1) Housing Attacks This is an add-on to the newly released housing. It will let you create an army of sorts to attack someones house in an attempt to steal their valuable resources, raw gold, iron ore, limestone and finally small-large trees! But, to prevent a user being bullied, their is a bully system in place to make sure the same user cannot attack a house more than 5 times consecutively within three hours and any attacks made by other users will have thier effects halved (like army damage and resource theft (for the defender only)). So make sure to build a big army to prevent other users from stealing your resources! This is currently undergoing beta testing from our moderators and me! 2) Guilds! Thats right! Guilds, although they wont be able to do much at the moment guilds will be soon release after I have finished coding it up! Hopefully this'll be release before the end of next week! What is done already: Applications (nearly!) Application Management (nearly!) Leaving your Guild (100% atm) Canceling Application (100% atm) The above three are under beta testing by me To be done Guild Forum Guild News Guild Donations Guild Member List Guild Member Management Guild Options Guild News Managment Guild Notifications Guild Creation (Only for characters who's levels >= 20 or a staff member) No progress on the above have been made! I believe these'll be two fairly large updates to RoE! Stay tuned to see their releases! http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=48 http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=48 Sun, 25 Feb 2007 19:04:54 -0800 Now, I *think* I've managed to get all the kinks out of housing and the storage, please tell me if you discover any errors through Private Message. I am also currently working on an add on for the housing which I think'll make the game that much better! You'll see that VERY soon! As well as that I've released a new layout, The Oblivion, a layout specially designed for our text based RPG, Realms of Eternity. Please select it in the layout changer! Both of these are bonuses for our members! If you are a member, then log in, if you are just a guest then register now! http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=47 http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=47 Sat, 24 Feb 2007 16:42:17 -0800 Found a few bugs within the registration script! They're now fixed! I've also added a little thing to the RPG Referals Page, it now tells you how many Referals you've had from today! Just a little thing, really Housing will be out soon, as soon as Beta testing is fininshed! http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=46 http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=46 Wed, 31 Jan 2007 17:11:39 -0800 Realms of Eternity will soon have housing! After me and my Beta Team have finished working stupid kinks out of it, it'll be released! Currently it only has two houses, but there'll be more! Each house'll have storage! The Wooden House'll have 1 storage spot for each equipment type, the Large Wooden House'll have two! To get houses you'll need a housing license, land and materials! Materials and License is fairly easy to get, but land'll take a while longer, as it has to be gained through exploration! Which can take up to two days! I guess you'll see soon enough! Over & Out! entity_azirius! http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=45 http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=45 Thu, 25 Jan 2007 16:32:53 -0800 Well... where do I start? I guess the easy answer to that is the beginning. Please note, this is a long, long e-mail, so I thank you for taking the time to read my stupid ideas and progresses! {X}=============================+ Realms of Eternity News & Updates First off, a few bugs were found with the banking system, thanks go to Moderator Johnn for finding out this bug! L) It now works correctly! There are three more updates to the Realms of Eternity, and these are all fairly large ones: 1) Travel/City System At the moment, it doesn't matter too much where you're located, but so far it affects what you can fight in random encounter, buy at local stores and also affects what you can mine and fish, two other concepts I'll go over in just a second. Other plans for the 'Travel/City System' is being able to own a certain portion of a city, and the character owning the largest chunk of the city gaining profit from people travelling in and out of the city and maybe a tiny chunk from what money is made from people buying stuff from local stores, like some sort of tax! The method of gaining land percentage is being thought over by myself, I like the idea of buying 'shares' of the land from say... the cities government, this in turn would increase your percentage of ownership. Of course there?s nothing really stopping from someone getting millions & millions this way... is there? Well that?s where you might be mistaken! I plan on making sure they don't receive stupid amounts of money and have an easy life in the game, I feel have some kind of responsibility to looking after the city would be cool, soooo, what I'll implement is a system that extracts a certain fixed sum of dosh from the characters account each day to pay for... fixing things, paying for upkeep... that stuff, and if the user cannot pay for these bills, they will loose a chunk of their ownership percentage! http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=RPG&mode=travel Use that link to reach the Travel/City System! 2) Mining Ah yes, a little idea I had. Mining. I thought it'd be cool to have some way of building a house, then it struck me! You need materials to build a house, don't you! So! I thought why not mine for these materials! Great huh?! But bare in mind, you will have to have the mining gear to access the mining, but this can be easily achieved by simply buying it from the miners! As well as this, you can level up mining skill, this will increase the amount of material you can dig up! As well as using these materials, I feel that being able to trade them would be quite cool, and if that doesn't work, then maybe just selling them will suffice! 3) Fishing Fishing is like mining as you can level this skill up to increase the amount of fish you can catch as well as granting you access to rarer fish! Fishes caught will be used for two things: The first is to eat. Instead of potions you'll be able to catch fish and heal, this method will be the free method of healing, meaning that you'll have three methods of healing: Healing Spell (in battle only) Healing Store (Gold costage) Fishing (requires Fishing Gear) The second will be to make a small income by selling on unwanted fish! As well as fishing I plan on having hunting skills, just to give variety! 4) User Control Panel You now have access to change minor details of your character! Nothing really special about this, but ah well! Heh. 5) Housing Housing... I'm not entirely sure what to use it for, but I'm sure it'll be handy.... ehm, well, I was considering of using the house as some method of storage, the better the house, the better storage would be. 6) Jobs Jobs are also something I'd like to implement into the RPG, it' give users a source of income, just at the cost of paying to build job stats to get a better, more rewarding job! 7) Stats Banner We have a stats banner for your characters! More will be in production at some point, for things like mining resources for example! Nothing amazing or necessary about these, but its just a nice touch! I feel as if that is all the updates for the RPG that I can think of! So yeah! Go explore and have fun! {X}=============================+ Entitys Arena News & Updates Not much work is being done on the main main site at the moment, I'm really concentrating on Realms of Eternity, but I have managed to fix a few minor bugs here and there as well as add a new feature A LAYOUT CHANGER! This little feature, is not open to the general public, but instead, only users. Our new layout is also on this too. It is known as End Of The Road. {X}=============================+ As far as I can tell that is all the updates Entitys Arena can throw at you! Please stay tuned for more news & updates on the sites future! http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=44 http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=44 Sat, 20 Jan 2007 19:23:42 -0800 The RPG Character Stats banner has now been upgraded! How cool can things get! hehe a preview... Preview 1 or two Preview 2 Images Changed To Links... http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=43 http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=43 Thu, 11 Jan 2007 18:17:19 -0800 As of now, you can now edit your character in the RPG userCP, which can be found by clicking here. Within the RPG userCP you may edit the following things: Character Name Character Gender Character Bio Character Picture Character Picture Width Character Picture Height Character Viewing (Stop other users viewing your character) As well as this your characters can now gain rank points everytime they level up! Leveling up is the slowest way of gaining Rank EXP while the fastest method will be through missions, which'll be implemented at some point! Character Rankings is still under developement however, as I haven't done the actual ranks ^_^ But feel free to raise your character in the ranks. The current Rank Exp Need formula is: 100 + (current rank * 1500) for example: Rank Level 20: 100 + (20 * 1500) = 30100 Rank Points Although you only see a text based representation, the ranks work with numbers to bring that rank. Rank Exp Gain formula: (Characters Level * 7) / 2 rounded to the nearest ten. for example: (100 * 7) / 2 = 350 Rank Exp gained per level up. Once the ranking system and more features have been implemented, ranking will have quite an impact on what you can access! So you can either leave missions alone and just rely on the slow methods of getting Rank EXP or do the somewhat harder missions and recieve more experience. It is up to you. Cheers, entity_azirius! http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=42 http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=42 Thu, 11 Jan 2007 15:38:18 -0800 Mods and Admins can now modify characters at will. ATM though mods cannot find a link for the RPG CP. Mods please PM me for the link so you can take a look ^_^ http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=41 http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=41 Sun, 07 Jan 2007 14:38:38 -0800 For some odd reason this was playing up and bugered up everyones Gold & Crystal collection. Sorry for any inconvienence. ^__________^ At least its only Beta =p http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=40 http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=40 Thu, 04 Jan 2007 15:12:24 -0800 I would say this is a fairly large update! Each user (once logged on and they visit the bank) will have a bank. While in the bank, your money will recieve intrest. This intrest is decided by several factors: Your level: the higher this is, the more you get ^_^ The amount of Gold/Crystal stored within the account, again the more you have the better! And finally, the rank of your account, although this is not implemented yet, you will be able to upgrade your bank account (one rank at a time though), this will increase the amount of intrest you recieve, although these upgrades are very very expensive! Currently there are 11 levels of Bank Rank, you start at level 0 (normal account) and can raise to Rank 10 (Ultima Account). I've also made a few general fixes to the RPG and added a few new things to the forum AdminCP Also happy new year to all our visitors! Bank Account Upgrade Now Online! http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=39 http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=39 Sun, 31 Dec 2006 17:41:39 -0800 Tonight I will be re-ordering files, making them more organised, if you discover broken links etc, don't worry I'll get round to it, but feel free to report them in this article Also we have a mini forum now Please use it responisbly! http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=38 http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=38 Tue, 26 Dec 2006 18:21:34 -0800 I have a few new additions that have been implemented in the RPG! Addition One LifeForce & CrystalForce are now remembered after battles. Addition Two Once your health reaches a low point, you'll probably want to heal yourself. So if you need to heal go to the healing page and pay for some healing! It is quite cheap! Addition Three There are a few new monsters in the monster database. Addition Four The final addition is a GD Banner, which tells some of your characters stats Here is an example... You can find you characters stat banner in the navigation menu! http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=37 http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=37 Mon, 25 Dec 2006 15:00:26 -0800 Bug Fixes Okay, I thought I sorted this out, but obviously not. If you attack an opponent that is Flame element (or an element it has in negative numbers) with a Flame spell you heal it, but for some odd reason you can still inflict a status of that element upon the opponent. So what I've done is prevented this by adding a few lines of new code onto the battle engine to prevent inflicting Frozen if the opponent is of Freeze or Medigo element and to prevent Burnt status is the opponent is of Flame or Medigo element. Additions - ALPHA{1.2} As well as fixing this bug, I have added a range function. This range function only allows your character to fight monsters within your level range (your level & below). Here is the current range list: Flame Monsters Orb - Level 1 Liquid Monsters The {baby} Kraken - Level 14 Energy Monsters The {baby} CELL - Level 15 Holy Monsters Beta Ender - Level 25 Unholy Monsters The {baby} Shadow - Level 30 Medigo Monsters Entity Azirius - Level 0 http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=36 http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=36 Sun, 24 Dec 2006 04:52:38 -0800 RPG Encounter Engine The random encounter engine has now been re-released. You can now induce status effects with spells. These status inducing spells can be found in the RPG shop. As well as this, you can now heal yourself with spells of a certain kind! This spell can now also be found in the shops! Another update to the RPGs Encounter Engine is that you can now run away from battles, this will count as a loss on your part. The final RPG Encounter Engine update is just a few general fixes. I found that some of the battle messages had gone missing during the process of making the BETA release, now in the ALPHA release of RoE's Encounter Engine, these messages will now appear. Thank you for your paitence while I have been working on this. More RoE news The referal system is now up and running. If you would like to find out the instructions and your referal code please click on the following link: RPG Referals A link to this page can also be found on the navigation menu. The current rewards are: (1) 1000 Crystals. More may be added at a later date. Unless you don't have a RoE account you wont have noticed that we have had a few other changes, but in the navigation your current Crystal & Gold amount is shown, as well as your LifeForce and CrystalForce. I would also like to thank DarylP for making some icons for me. Please visit his site: Fun Flash Gear Also, something I neglected to do when making the character registration form is to make sure the characters name was long enough. Now this has been implemented. The Character registration is now on ALPHA release. General News As things are going REALLY REALLY well for the RPG{BETA.1} and the UserSystem{ALPHA.9} I can really see a release before the end of 2006. I have also made some slight changes to the AdminCP. Nothing that regular users or moderators would notice however. That is all for now (or all I can think of...heheh), so this news article has come to an end. Cheers, entity_azirius! http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=35 http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=35 Sat, 23 Dec 2006 18:58:10 -0800 The random encounter engine will be going down today. This is due to some complications. While down it will be recieving a total re-write. Sorry for any innconvienence. http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=34 http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=34 Sat, 23 Dec 2006 12:36:16 -0800 The RPGs encounter engine will be going under some minor modifications tonight, the reason being is that I am making spells (and spells only) have status effects. This will add a more strategic element to the RPG. Cheers, entity_azirius! http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=33 http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=33 Fri, 22 Dec 2006 15:03:33 -0800 The RPG shop is now fully operational. There may be a few general fixes and changes needed, but it is essentially finished Have fun Cheers, entity_azirius! http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=32 http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=32 Fri, 22 Dec 2006 08:58:10 -0800 You can now buy weapons, armour, sheilds, skills and spells I will now work on the selling engine of the shop so you can have more experimentation Also, please remember that when selling an item, you will recieve only half of what you bought it for, this is due to it being second hand Cheers, entity_azirius! P.S. A BIG P.S: You CAN buy the same item more than once. This is more realistic because in real life someone wouldn't say: "um, I don't think I can let you have this sir. You seemed to have already purchased one!" They'd just let you have it. http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=31 http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=31 Thu, 21 Dec 2006 17:59:12 -0800 I have finally got a tiny portion of the shop working. You can now purchase, and ONLY purchase weapons. You cannot sell them. This means once you have bought the weapon, you'll have it permanently. For now anyway. Please have some fun Cheers, entity_azirius! http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=30 http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=30 Thu, 21 Dec 2006 17:08:16 -0800 Each user can now have their own friends list, you can add and delete a member from your friends list. This'll make it quicker for you to PM 'em and stuff. This can be found on your UserCP! http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=29 http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=29 Wed, 20 Dec 2006 10:48:12 -0800 I have found that the RPGs evasion engine wasn't working correctly, after adding a debugging section to the game for Admins (me) only, that allows me to see what values are what, I found that I was being given negative defence... =S weird I know, but now I've used PHP's str_replace() function to hopefully remove this problem. I also found that the RPG leveling was slightly buggy at level 0 giving a non-division error, telling the user that they cannot divide nothing by nothing, or something along those lines. This problem has now been rectified, at level 0, it'll take 110 EXP to level up, at level 1, 220 and it'll get higher and higher. But there is a cap at 2 million. Don't worry I am still working on the shop, but I'd prefer everything to be in working order before it is released Cheers, entity_azirius! http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=28 http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=28 Wed, 20 Dec 2006 09:01:37 -0800 It is now ready for you to register! ^_^ On registration you will notice that you can choose between five realms and three builds, currently the realms do nothing, but they will in the future! However, the builds do! If you choose to be a Warrior you will recieve the following things: Weapon: Bronze Sword Armour: Warrior Mail Physical Offence: 10 Physical Defence: 11 Magical Offence: 3 Magical Defence: 4 Agility: 2 LifeForce: 600 CrystalForce: 100 Flame: 5 Freeze: 5 Liquid: 5 Earth: 10 Wind: 5 Energy: 5 Holy: 5 Unholy: 5 If you register as a Ranger you will recieve the following set up: Weapon: Bow Armour: Ranger Suit Physical Offence: 7 Physical Defence: 7 Magical Offence: 7 Magical Defence: 7 Agility: 10 LifeForce: 550 CrystalForce: 150 Flame: 5 Freeze: 5 Liquid: 5 Earth: 7 Wind: 5 Energy: 5 Holy: 5 Unholy: 5 And finally if you register as a Mage you will get: Weapon:Mage Orb Armour: Mage Cape Physical Offence: 3 Physical Defence: 4 Magical Offence: 10 Magical Defence: 11 Agility: 5 LifeForce: 500 CrystalForce: 250 Flame: 10 Freeze: 10 Liquid: 10 Earth: 10 Wind: 10 Energy: 10 Holy: 10 Unholy: 10 As well as this each user will recieve 1000 Gold and a Wooden Sheild. This will put you in good sted for the future. Remember that there are a few ways to recieve Gold. 1) Beating monsters 2) Posting comments on the news, leaving guestbook entrys, and other things in the future. 3) A weekly lottery You will probably have notice the Crystals as well, these are the games second currency for special weapons, these can only be obtained through posting and the weekly lottery. Please register a character and test the game out Hopefully I will be able to release a shop in the near future so you can buy new stuff ^_^ Now, there is one slight problem you may find, and this is the fact that all but one monster is too powerful for you to defeat... what I'll have to do is edit these monsters attack & defence attributes so you can hit them while they don't hit so hard! But I'll leave the rewards the same Cheers, entity_azirius! http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=27 http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=27 Tue, 19 Dec 2006 18:37:23 -0800 I have started the affiliation system, this one is more advanced than the first version. This one works with unique hits instead of just hits in. Which ever has brought in more unique hits, will be closer to the top. Now I have to work on the CMS for the affiliation system. Cheers, entity_azirius! http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=26 http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=26 Sun, 17 Dec 2006 16:24:24 -0800 Another improvement is coming to the registration system, AJAX Implementation With AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML), the web page can interact with the database without loading the page How cool does that sound? Very Now the method I am using will allow the user to check if the email & username he's using has already been taken without submitting the page. All it will do is show a little piece of text next to the text input to show whether or not it has been taken Cheers, entity_azirius! Now implemented We now have some more AJAX, this stuff is working for passwords for those who want to know if their passwords are correct and valid. http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=25 http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=25 Sun, 17 Dec 2006 07:06:52 -0800 The small news first, I have just completed a few general fixes to the site, nothing spectacular, they just help with the running of the site Now for the slightly more significant news. I have created the EXP bar for the RPG, this bar gives you an idea of how much EXP you have, how much EXP needed to level up and finally a percentage of how much you've collected. Its done with some graphics, but not an image, it uses widths and stuff, pretty simple but I feel that it looks quite cool anyway The shop script has gone on hold for a little while so I can build more on the battle system, but then I will definately start working properly on the shop script, I have been putting it off, as it isn't going to be the easiest of tasks to do! =/ ah well, it has to be done at some point =D Cheers, entity_azirius! http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=24 http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=24 Sat, 16 Dec 2006 15:14:58 -0800 I have changed a tiny little function with the users online panel at the bottom of the screen, it will now consider you online if you have been active within 3 hours. Whether or not I keep this on when the release comes, I am not too sure Cheers, entity_azirius! http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=23 http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=23 Fri, 15 Dec 2006 01:36:45 -0800 Any & all moderators, the option to use the Moderator Control Panel is online Please go take a look and test things out Cheers, entity_azirius! http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=22 http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=22 Thu, 14 Dec 2006 09:33:40 -0800 Had to make a few changes towards the RPG encounter engine today as it wasn't making the correct level updates, when leveling up it'd empty the total exp row for that user, now it really does count the total EXP that you have gained so far I've also made an addition towards the news and guestbook sections, this addition gives the user (if they have an RPG character) Ten pieces of Gold and 1 Crystal; this is the easiest method of gaining Crystals. At some point (my friend suggested this) its a punishment against those who resource SPAM (posting over & over with junk to get more Gold and Crystals) where with each page load, while using the RPG, takes away a small amount of Gold and gives it to another user. I will soon be editing the weapon database to give certain weapons status effects, the only status effect so far is Poison and can be quite easilly implemented. This maybe the next thing inserted after the Mod CP. Other ways of gaining Crystals will be through a weekly lottery which will give the winner 1000 Crystals (and 10000 Gold pieces) to spend how they wish Cheers, entity_azirius! http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=21 http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=21 Wed, 13 Dec 2006 02:06:04 -0800 The guestbook has now been fully released! Please feel free to sign each others guestbooks Cheers, entity_azirius! http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=20 http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=20 Tue, 12 Dec 2006 12:39:40 -0800 Well, I've done the main scripting, it shows the users guestbook, but I want to get the AdminCP working as well! Click here for a preview of the guestbooks! If you wanna access your own GB please change the ID in the URL to your user ID. Cheers, entity_azirius! http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=19 http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=19 Tue, 12 Dec 2006 12:03:41 -0800 An idea just poped into my head at 11:45pm! This idea is to give each user a Guest Book where members can leave comments, then the member can look at these guestbook entries and can decide whether the content is something they don't mind on their guestbook. If they ain't happy with the entry they may do one of the following: 1) Edit the guest book entery 2) Delete it entirely 3) Report and Delete, this means that a copy of it will be sent to entity_azirius and also a copy will be left on the Mod/Admin Notes (once implemented) where they can decide whether or not action is in need of happening towards the offending user, once reported, the entery will be deleted whether or not its deemed bad or not, you wanted it gone, after all! I will give another article once this has been acomplished Cheers, entity_azirius! Production Notes Production Started http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=18 http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=18 Mon, 11 Dec 2006 16:02:21 -0800 I have added a pagination system to the following sections: 1) Users online 2) User list 3) News Articles 4) News article comments and finally 5) Tagboard Cheers, entity_azirius! http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=17 http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=17 Sat, 09 Dec 2006 03:21:21 -0800 PM System Realised that there was some problems with the PM System's pagination. What I had it doing was counting every single row in the databases table and then creating the pagination through that, of course, once I clicked on the links to the other pages, it took me to an empty table. So now I've implemented the fix to the PM system just to count the PM's which belong to that user! Login Page If you visit the Login page you will see that the page automatically foucses on the username part of the form, this is a little javascript (and a little PHP too) function which I've seen sites use (such as Google!), and I thought it'd be a nice addition. RSS Feeds Working & Stable I've got RSS Feeds working now, which is quite a cool, little addition to the site Please use the link on the navigation to make your way there! Cheers, entity_azirius! http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=16 http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=16 Sat, 09 Dec 2006 01:24:59 -0800 I have now succesfully implemented the new forgotten password system. It now uses security answers as a way of reseting your password. Once registered you cannot change this! So make sure its the way you want it before you register! Cheers, entity_azirius! http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=15 http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=15 Wed, 06 Dec 2006 00:00:00 -0000 The RPG's shop is now in production. The shop will allow you to sell unwanted equipment and buy new equipment. The shop home page will display the three newest pieces of equipment for each equipment category. Remember, if you buy items with Crystals, you cannot sell these items back to get some back! I will make another news article when the shop is fully functional and added to the RPG. Extra RPG Stuff At somepoint I will need some Beta Testers for the RPG, please leave a comment telling me if you want to help or not! =) Cheers, entity_azirius! http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=14 http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=14 Wed, 06 Dec 2006 00:00:00 -0000 Font management has now been modified It is now at least two times better than the last method! You will now have to manage your fonts again. Sorry for any pain this may cause to you... but this is probably the best way of having it sooooo.... meh ^_^ Cheers, entity_azirius! http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=13 http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=13 Tue, 05 Dec 2006 00:00:00 -0000 The new layout is now online and working. I don't know how well this will work really, because people with sigs *could* disrupt the layout by applying a large image, although we can change sigs and enforce this rule, it'd take time. So, what I will be doing with the sigs section is putting it into a div container that has scroll properties so even if the user uses a huge banner, it will have no affect on the sites layout. At all. Well thats the plan anyway Cheers, entity_azirius! http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=12 http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=12 Mon, 04 Dec 2006 00:00:00 -0000 I've now got the Gold reward working. When the RPG is fully complete, I will add a function to the news comments (and the forum if it gets done) that will give users special crystals to buy better weapons and get access to special missions. They will also gain a portion of gold as well Please post your comments! Cheers, entity_azirius! http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=11 http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=11 Fri, 01 Dec 2006 00:00:00 -0000 It seems that the leveling system is working fine now I may change the formula slightly so its harder to level, but thats about it! Now I need to the perfect rewards system! http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=10 http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=10 Wed, 29 Nov 2006 00:00:00 -0000 Just a small news update for today! Managed to get the opponent hit & miss option online and working finally, looks like I was using some crappy variables that wern't named correctly , heh. Anyways, now I have to do the exact same thing for opponent to user now, otherwise the enemy will always hit and all that lovely agility will go to waste! EDIT: It looks as though I have got the character dodge engine working now. I think I'll move onto the shopping section... sigh... hardness. Cheers, entity_azirius! http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=9 http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=9 Mon, 27 Nov 2006 00:00:00 -0000 Thats right folks! I've got the first stages of the battle online! This is great news! I'm so happy to actually have a battle up and running! Now, all I have to do is make the battle give Exp, Gold and other such things Another function the battles delivers is monster healing (will get character healing as well in the near future) say if you attack the monster with a spell, skill or physical attack that has an elemental alignment the same as the monster, then you will heal that monster, so it is a good idea to try and use the best equipment, for the best situation! I've also implemented equipment change, which again requires JavaScript for the pop-ups, so yes that means if you'd like to play this game to its fullest (and have access to all your weapons and other items) you'll need to have a browser that supports JavaScript and have it enabled, otherwise you'll be stuck with the same equipment! Future Ideas... 1) At some point in the future (if it is manageable) I plan to add status affects to the game, such as poison where your HP starts to drain away slowly during the battle! The biggest feature! The biggest feature I feel that this game has (and will continue to have) is the battle save feature. It saves your current fight automatically as soon as you encounter that monster! This means that if you've got into a really long fight and you look at the clock (I've done this regulary) and seen it at 3am, then you know it's about time you go to bed, but, you are still in this fight and have a long way to go, with this function you wont need to worry about this. At all. You can log off, turn the PC off entirely and your battle will be saved untill the next time you log back on to the PC! I am rather proud of this feature and is what makes Realms of Eternity majorly different from any other text-based RPG's! So, yes, anyway, please feel free to leave your comments on this idea, I'd love to see what people have to say on such thigs, what ideas they think I can try to implement! So get commenting! Cheers, entity_azirius http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=8 http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=8 Sat, 25 Nov 2006 00:00:00 -0000 I have got the first character page fully online! Please feel free to take a peek! The Entity - Finished Version Note: You must be logged on to view any RPG elements! Just some information on the pages: By clicking on inventory items names it will bring up a javascript pop-up (must have javascript enabled, and pop-up blocker off for it to appear!) containing information about that piece of equipment! Notice the little box containing the owner details, that just so you know who owns that character (may at sometime have the ability to turn this off!). Quote:Best-Viewed In FireFox! Well, I hope you have some fun viewing the first character page, I know I did http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=7 http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=7 Tue, 21 Nov 2006 00:00:00 -0000 Now that the user system is coming on to its final stages, the early parts of the RPG are in production! The text-based RPG is going to be called Realms of Eternity. More information can be found here! Its gonna take a long time to get this up and running, but hopefully it'll be worth it! If you would like to ask any question concerning the RPG please PM me about anything you would like to know Cheers! Side Note Also just as a side note, I have made a character, nothing much is on this account currently, and the whole game engine and other stuff is still in creation. But if you'd like a peak at the character, here is the link The Entity Side Note 2 Second side note for this article, is that pretty soon(ish) I will be creating a process page, stating how things are going, well thats what I plan on doing. While I'm here I may as well state that I am working hard on the Game Engine! Wish me luck people! http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=6 http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=6 Sun, 19 Nov 2006 00:00:00 -0000 Okay people! We're in need of some Beta Testers! If you think you could round up a group of some trusted friends, ask 'em to sign up test the functions on the site I'd be mighty greatful! Cheers people! Side Note If you are a staff member and you can't for some reason post news or such, contact me through the PM system with the news article, I will add it to the system for you until things are in full swing! http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=5 http://entitys-arena.co.uk/?sec=news&id=5 Sat, 18 Nov 2006 00:00:00 -0000 The news system is (well should anyway) be fully operational! Please don't SPAM or I'll have to slap you silly! Well, the user system is coming to its final stages, which is good. hopefully things will be done within the week, then I can start on the layout and installing it on the network!
