I like the layout. I also like the way you did the sidebar. Except there is no listing for my armour class.

Also, I really like the bars for healt stamina and xp for next level, I would love to get the code for that if you are willing to share.

I really like the layout, my think for Koitola is I want it to have a better look / feel, a lot like how you did yours, I would really appreciate your assistance in re-designing my layout as well, I know it is a lot to ask, but as of right now, I need a few things in my game, that I cannot do without a new layout, and I am HORRIBLE with designing layouts....

A couple things I did notice though.

First, you really should go with the isometric map released by Kallen, unless there is a specific reason you're staying with the 2d version.

Second, You need your main.php or home.php whatever yours is called, the one with news on it, to check if character = '"; and it it does, send the player to create a character page, it took me a minute to find out how to create a character in your game.

Third, Your register link on the front page is broken, I had to type a lot of manual links up top to register in your game.

I think that's all I remember right now.

OH! You definitely want to look into my little description on how to change monster levels, so you can specify levels, it really helps in keeping game balance.

Hope this helps!

AWESOME JOB ON THE LAYOUT!!! really could use someone with your artistic talents helping program Koitola! I am a sucker for art

Thanks!

Thank you for you guys comments. I am not sure about the registration link but it seems to work perfectly for me. and yeas i logged out. and secondly I think i should do the character creation. I'll have changed that and It seems to run. except i added it to every page. to avoid the hassel, i actually wanted to show you guys just my header.php that generates my whole site just to see how i managed to do that.

Code: Select all: <? session_start(); include "aup.php"; include_once "class_character.php"; $result = mysql_query ("SELECT * FROM azure_characters WHERE username = '$PHP_AZURE_USER'"); if ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { $char_loc = $row["location"]; } $result = mysql_query ("SELECT * FROM azure_locations WHERE id = '$char_loc'"); if ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { $location_name = $row["name"]; } if($char_loc == "") { echo ("<script language=\"JavaScript\" type=\"text/javascript\">window.setTimeout('location.href=\"create_character.php\";',0);</script>\n"); exit; } ?> <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" name="author" content="Jeremy Poisson"> <title><? echo "$SITETITLE"; ?></title> <link rel=stylesheet type="text/css" href="styles/ag.css"> </head> <body onload="" onFocus="refresh();"> <div id="wrap"> <div id="header"> <div id="section"><p>&nbsp</p></div> </div>  <div id="main"> <a name="top"></a>

Except for the HTML part if you have any suggestions for that. That is actually what my header is for every page i just import that.

And as for the side bars I don't mine sharing with you how i managed to accomplish that but if you actually start to level you can see your experience bar grow. mine is almost 50%

and lastly I am staying from the ISO form right now until i can complete the 11x11 traveling system instead of the 5x5... and the kallen one from playing your the moving on the map is kinda weird. i click and it don't move it is hard to define the 8 squares around you.

DaWolf · by **DaWolf** » Sat May 30, 2009 5:31 pm

I added some links called [GO] on my map so players knew where is accessible, where is not.

I would really love to know how you did the layout / work stuff, it really would make it more noob friendly to have the information like what you have.

Very nice indeed, to be honest when you were saying you were changing the layout I thought you meant just editing the CSS files, didn't know exactly what kind of work you were putting into it, I'm sorry for underestimating you.

Let me know if you can help me change the layout of Koitola, thanks!

jpoisson · by **jpoisson** » Sat May 30, 2009 7:21 pm

I would be glad to help you with the layout for koitola, I have a feeling i am going to have to make it face book friendly

DaWolf · by **DaWolf** » Sat May 30, 2009 10:52 pm

haha, Awesome, I have my artist working on a banner / logo for it right now, so we'll be able to use that for the top when it's done, but you just tell me what you need to get the layout code working and I'll send it right over.

Is there anything I can help with / with azuregale?

jpoisson · by **jpoisson** » Sun May 31, 2009 12:34 am

Well, I first need to know the links you want to display, and your colour theme you want and lastly do you want me to just use my current theme or make something completely new. If that is the case i need to ask you a few more questions.

DaWolf · by **DaWolf** » Sun May 31, 2009 2:19 am

Jpoissin,
do you have a messenger service?

My links need to have the following options...

Home
Message Center
Daily Bonus
Character
Travel
Offers
Visit the King
Top 10 Players
(I need to have Admin, show up only if player is admin > 2)
(I need to have Build show up, only if the player is admin > 1)
Recruit
have the number of messages the player has new
and a Chat Link.

Also, does anyone know of a good embedded chat program?

Other than that, I want my side bar to include the image1 picture, name, health bar, stamina bar, xp bar. needs to show them their stats, gold, and royal crowns.

Sorry I know it's a lot to ask...

if I missed something let me know.

jpoisson · by **jpoisson** » Sun May 31, 2009 2:04 pm

Well wolfy, I am looking at what you are asking for it doesn't seem like too much of a challenge. I think i know how i would do the admin stuff so you don't have to worry about that. Umm my question is would you like to keep my theme or are you looking for something different. because i want to customize it towards you game.

and on a last note i am still having trouble with bringing the layout into the games at the inn. i am slowly working on it but it is a fricken challenge. lol.
I hope by the tonight i finish the layout completely. it is a wish i hope to come true... umm tomorrow i am leaving to back home so i will be off for like a week depending if i can manage to get internet access.

mccragge · by **mccragge** » Sun May 31, 2009 5:15 pm

So jpoisson, will you share the code you used for the health, stamina and xp bars?

DaWolf · by **DaWolf** » Mon Jun 01, 2009 1:32 am

I would like the way you have your layout, everything is good except maybe have the menu back up top, but you're the artist, so you tell me what you like.

I dont care about the colors, I like darker colors though, and most of my images have a black background, so I'll probably need to keep black, but you can put pretty much any other color in the place of green.

The games at the inn are a pain in the arse, I dont think they were made using the CSS file, I am hoping to find another way for players to earn money, like as of right now players that have the cooking ability can go to an inn and ask for work to cook, and they get paid 100* cooking skill, (cooking skill costs about 200 to train, and it doubles with every point), so you spend more, but every 24 hours you can work for an inn and make some money from it.

I am just looking for ways to do something like Crafting, is it worth it?

I have a lot of my hands.

jpoisson · by **jpoisson** » Mon Jun 01, 2009 1:52 am

Yea I will help you develop the status bars. Umm it isnt really that challenging.

Code: Select all: <div id="wrapbars"> Health (HP): <? print $character->hit_points; ?>/<? print $character->max_hp; ?><br/> <div class="bars"> <div> <img src="images/Layout/bar_red.gif" alt="" width=" <? print $character->hit_points / $character->max_hp *100; ?>%" height="5px"> </div> </div> Stamina: <? print $character->stamina_points ?>/<? print $character->max_stamina;?><br/> <div class="bars"> <div> <img src="images/Layout/bar_yellow.gif" alt="" width="<? print $character->stamina_points / $character->max_stamina * 100;?>%" height="5px"> </div> </div> Level Up: <? print $character->xp / $char_next_lev_xp * 100;?>%<br/> <div class="bars"> <div> <img src="images/Layout/bar_cyan.gif" alt="" width="<? print $character->xp / $char_next_lev_xp * 100;?>%" height="5px"> </div> </div> </div>

and this is the styles you need to add to get this working.

Code: Select all: .bars { border: 3px solid #333333; margin-bottom: 2px; width: 120px; } .bars div { background-image: url(../images/Layout/bar_no.gif); } #wrapbars { clear: both; padding: 5px 0 5px 0; }

If you would like for me to explain the code for you I would be glad to but it seems pretty self explanitory. and for the images just go to my site and save them.

jpoisson · by **jpoisson** » Mon Jun 01, 2009 1:57 am

Hey wolfy, I was wondering if your Game banner finished? because depending on how it is designed i will create your layout based on it. But I know what I am going to do for your game.

on my train ride home i will work hard on the new layout then i will have a mock page uploaded when i am done so you can view it. but other then that.. To have your logo would be very helpful.

jpoisson · by **jpoisson** » Mon Jun 01, 2009 2:49 am

If anyone has any suggestions on how i can fix the display of the experience bar so it rounds up to the nearest .01
