Recruiting these Various Skills: ( C++ ) , Server Hoster ( Need'd ASAP )

Thanks,

The Path of Chaos Developer Staff..

Wow, nice.

Decent Lore, who wrote it?

Development Team Scorpx725 :)

we are working hard to get this to legend or to green..

Actually, I wrote the lore, thank you Tzwizard, lol =). I am editing it as that is the rough draft. When it is finnished, it should be like one big book called The Creation Of Norrath =D.

I only have these lines written atm, lol:

You wont get a legends or green server without first proving you have a reliable and stable server that is up for a fairly long amount of time.

they need to add 'cannot suck total ass' to the list of requirements for being a legends or green server.

bbum (AKA) GayFag~ , leave emulator!!!!!

Np Deimos :P lol, Just off told me before I did :P

Well, I am actually changing the format again, going to make it more like the Silmirillion =), more like a history book you know.

Also, We are STILL Looking for more staff, and a server host as well, Please send me an email if you are interested or join the #TPOC channel on mIRC =). I just got the source and am now editing it out like crazy, lol.

Nice lore, Deimos. Good luck on getting green/legends.

Good host and decent amount of people, with a reliable staff... good luck!

Im Proud to Announce that I Am going to try to do some stuff to get www.freewebs.com/pochaos A domain !!! :)

Im gonna keep it up


So Ill fix Lore With a Better Tab bar ( Its Nice , Glowing Effect )

So Post on Forums !!!! Give us some Suggestions ! :)

Hey, don't fix lore up yet, lol, I am re-writing it, unless u can just copy and paste. Just don't want you doing extra work =/

you can get a domain for $7.95 in a couple hundred places around the net. Cheap as hell these days

You can get free ones (not com, but others) with some looking.

Got ya.... I can with the new program im using :P

I Got a Idea to Make it looks like a Book :) ...

Like A Arrow that goes to next page :D

Very nice! Also, don't worry about the website domain, I am getting us one, ok. Our ISP gives really really really nice ones. It will be called probably:
www.pathofchaos.org
=), or
www.pathofchaos.net
Not sure what would be better for us, probably .org

just curious. What exactly seperates a "really really nice" domain from a "normal" domain... Does it come with a box of cuddly kittens or something?

It is seperated by the fact that this one has unlimited bandwith and unlimited storage space, and, it never slows down. That is the difference between a bad one and a nice one =D

That has nothing to do with the domain, that's the host. :P

Melwin hit it right on the nose. You don't know what a domain is apparently. It's a name. that's all.

Lol A Domain is a Domain...... !!!!! Heh

We all know we all like butterflys on a webpage :P

Here is what I meant by a domain. The site I am getting it from allows that. That is what I meant.... Some sites have a max storage and bandwith limit, this one doesn't. This is why I say we are getting a nice domain, but, you are getting very, very literal. So let me re-phrase that in words you will all like since you want to be exact and precise.

We are getting a very nice site with our own domain. The company that is hosting it allows unlimited bandwith and storage. This company is very reliable, the sites they host Never slow down. The site will be based off of flash with an introduction video. In the Lore Section, we will start having the Lore listed by there titles, then, under the title, you can either read the text or watch the movie, all based off of Flash and Nuendo 2.0.

That is how you guys want it said, so there, I said it =P.

Just out of curiosity, who is your webhost?

Speaking as someone with a reasonable amount of experience with webhosts it sounds like you are about to buy a shitty service with good advertisement.

Unlimited bandwidth/space is seldom that for less than a grand a month.

No offense dude, but the stuff you are saying is really painting you as somebody who doesn't know a thing and is trying to put on an "act" to get experienced ppl to join up and create something from nothing. (A server where one doesnt exist from the ground up, you've written lore only)

The site will be "based" off of flash...

The site is created with flash or integrated in some way. it's not "based" on flash.... that just doesn't make any sense man.

Or watch the movie, all based off of flash

Again.... either the movie IS flash or it isn't theres no in between man.

My web host actually host isn't bad because I know them and have seen there services and know for truth what they have to offer, that is why I want them to be the web host. My ISP hosts websites.

This is the home site for them:
http://www.amigo.net/

Also you said you have no idea what you think I am doing, lol. That is totally wrong, ask my staff =P, I am actually editing the source for the server atm and writing new quests for it.

I am decent at C++, master at PERL, I suck at art, so that is why I am looking for people that are good with Flash, I suck at OpenZone, so that is why I am looking for OpenZone users, and I don't have time to write all the code for the server, so that is why I am looking for a lot of C++ and PERL people. I do know what I am doing, and so far sotonin, all you really have been doing is insulting me every step of the way. I am getting the domain probably tomorrow. I am just going to please ask you to quit the insulting. I am doing my own login-server, so you can stop that as well.

To answer more of your questions concerning the site.

Dude, really you need to get a grip. I never said it wasn't, I have only said that it was flash... I have not only written lore, I am doing source code and PERL code... You REALLY HAVE No IDEA. We have a beta site atm, will be moving soon to the awesome flash sight.

Sotonin, if you have absolutely nothing nice to say, which you don't, been only saying very nasty things, then don't start flooding everything with the stuff you want to say. Keep it to yourself, please. There is freedom of speach, but flooding everything with false insults isn't the way to go. If you are going to protest and say I know nothing, you better have proof to back it up. So far, my staff knows that I know what I am doing, and I am getting more staff because they all know what I am doing... You need to Shut Up, ok, because so far you have no idea what you are talking about.

OK. i stand by what i said then, prove me wrong if i'm wrong. My analysis is based on what you've written here and mostly IRC, where you claim you can integrate the EQclient to display flash pages, which although you've been told by numerous people is impossible, claim you have. But you've provided no working example.

But asking for this and that and for somebody to host your server when you have nothing to show but lore is kind of silly.

Ok Sotonin, Me creating this flash part will take time, people like me & ton of others have the patience.

You seem to not have to...

So Please, Stop posing on negative stuff & wait... All im saying :wink:

Me and others in IRC have asked him to use a blank white or black movie and show us that he can do it. He has yet to provide this. Because he can't

Me or Deimos???? Im creating flash for the website, hes hooking us up with some flash intro ( Myself I think this isnt possible )

Not talking about the web-site.

Deimos claims he can make flash integrate into the everquest client. IE. click to play on server and a flash intro comes up before you log in.

Not possible until OpenEQ comes out. Yet he says he knows how to do it. Hence the reasons to not beleive what he says.

Has he done anything to the code to make you beleive he knows how to fix or modify it? Cause he doesn't understand basic logic so far.

At first it was all good fun, somebody with a hugely ambitious design for a server. Now it's transformed into somebody with a fairy dream and that want's to mooch somebody's server.

maybe i'm wrong. i'll just wait and see. ) thats all i have to say

Like I said, I cannot hack the eqclint myself, but I know someone who can. I will show you once I get around to getting it, right now, it is not on the top of my priority list.

You know thats illegal, right?

i do... Listen, I might not do anything, it might not be worth it. My staff have been talking to me about it for awhile. I guess we will all find out when the server is ready for testers. I also did the math, there should be about 915 zones when it is complete, which I think is a bit outrageous. Probably going to lower some of the planet zones a bit, that way it is around 400-500 when done. 915 is a bit too high. It might be 915 though, I don't know. Just going to take it one step at a time =), that is my new motto.

Curious do you even know how to create a zone?

Maybe you should start by making JUST 1 good zone and showing it off. if you aren't full of crap then you'll gain a lot of followers. cause frankly, nobody beleives a word coming out of your mouth. Make us believers, please.

I don't want to drop down to what appears to be the general level of discussion here, but as an admin on one of the bigger servers, I know that creating good zones takes a while. 915 zones seems extremely unrealistic to me. Even 400-500 might be more than you realize.

Damn right Melwin, theres no way.....I or we ---> Deimos <--- know anyone who is that good at making zones. We will need like 15-20 people just to get like 30 zones done...in about 3 months...if they work all the time. Which i doubt. This is my theory tho.



Im not going to Brag tho........I just work here lol

I think once you start making zones you'll scale that 915 down to 90 at the _most_ as it's not an easy or quick procedure by any means. It requires modelling, writing scripts, putting NPCs in place, etc.

I'm curious as to why anyone would want flash embedded in the EQ client, btw... it's slow enough as it is lol. I think it'd be cool to have video-based textures (MPEG-4) ingame though. Could make for some nice effects when we can have customized videos over the course of the game :)


Happy Hacking,

But arnt you guys in the process of writeing a Login Server? Whos taken on the responsibility of writing one so far i havent seen anyone from your server produce one.

Ah yes you have that uber Measureing program for bandwith. I wish i knew how much space and what kinds of bandwith hosts give. Does this host support PERL, Phpb, MYSql. There are many other services that you need to find out about to find a good host. Those script languages are very necessary in building any quality site imp. Yes they're not needed but they help quite a bit.

Obviosuly you dont think that being decent at C++ will enable you to write a Login Server. You have to know exactly how the code for EQEmu works and how the client acts while logging in. What it wants to know and all that crap. No newbie to codeing will be able to do that. As far as being EXPERT in PERL. About 3 weeks ago you were writeing quests for me. About 9 out of 10 that you gave me where bugged and you or i had to fix them many many times. I'll tell you now you are NOT an expert at PERL. Stuff for quests is the simple stuff.

Can you write your own Login Server? I really dont know but what i do know is it wont be anytime soon, its alot harder than you think, and you'll need someone helping you who does this type of thing all the time.

As far as makeing 90 zones, Arnt you makeing them in OpenZone? That could take forever to create 90 zones never mind spawning 90 zones.

And dude i use to like you but you are really acting like you know nothing. If i know nothing (which is quite often) I stop and ask questions from the people who do know. This is how i get to know alot more about cpp mysql and PERL. I wouldnt say i know everything about or even close but i know how to ask a question and even though it might not be me that fixed it i still got what i wanted accomplished and the next time i will know how to do it.

What i'm trying to get you to realize with this post is that you spending too much time on these forums trying to defend your stupid remarks and not getting anywhere on the server. If you want to make a server make a server, if you want to act like an idiot act like an idiot, you cant have both.

Also two more things i must add to this post is that he use to be a GM for my server, then i realized he was all talk and knew nothing. Yes hes a very nice guy but he trys to make people think hes a genius when hes not. He later quit the project because i wouldnt let his friend be a gm. But truth is i was gona fire him anyways because I sat around all day helping him get the littlest things done and instead of helping me on my server he was actualy takeing my time away from working on it and we never got anything done.

and then look at his website once more and then look at this site, a very well known Guild on Rallos-Zek (and yes thats my server name i know that already)

http://www.ascendingdawn.com

Nuff said... i'm done flameing, i'm at school and i dont have anything else to do otherwise this might have been a shorter post. Sorry bro but you need to realize your making a fool out of yourself, and i know everyone agree's with me.

I did not construct any of the site and I will be getting a different picture up and have a talk with TZ, kk.

Sry, but I am just getting tired of being insulted. Since the last time you saw me, I can code without any errors now and debug my own code, like I said, I have a program now that helps me find Syntax and such. Anyways, the last file I wrote in PERL, which was 12000 or so lines, had 3 bugs, and they were really stupid, and I figured out one of them. I forgot /i on my stupid if($text=~ becuase I was typing so fast, lol, and was missing 3 curcly's, so took a few hours going through the code. Trust me, I gave this guy the code 2x, the first time it casted on himself, the next time it worked... I think I can code now =). Thank you Monalin for helping me get back into coding.

Furthermore, I am going to be getting some help from my dad with some of the C++ programming. I Do Not Have Any Time To Create A Login-Server for the time being.

-Updated News-
Website:
Working on getting the new site up, I decided to use the host that Tzwizard found, he found a very nice place called Vdeck, so, that is probably what we will be using =). It is same thing as the last one, but more features. These web-sites will let us do whatever we want with them. We now have a flash master and she will be helping with the site, the manager will be updating information, and me, writing information for the manager to put on.

Login-Server:
Right now, we have not had a chance to start the Login-Server code yet. I will be getting some help with it, I have my sources. Should be up and running perfectly, I am hoping, in 5 months.

---New---
Introduction:
We are doing a new type of introduction for EverQuest that will be based off of If Statements for Races and Destructors to help re-set zone. This is in the C++ code. I am going to get help from a very good source with it. You start in a zone with nobody else in it, and it depends on what class you are to see what zone you go into. So far, I know what I am going to do for one of the classes.

Warrior:
You are on a ship that begins to move towards the Coast of Ish`ta, where a wizard awaits to give you information. Suddenly, a pirate ship attacks you. That is all I am releasin for this event, more to come soon.

Some of the Warrior Classifications:

Warrior of Light:
Good Races
1st Step towards the light

Warrior of Darkness:
Bad Races
1st step towards the darkness

These are some of the second steps you can choose when you finnish the first step.
-Good Races-

Ancient Warrior:
First Step towards The Creator Chronology

Bladesman Of Justice:
First Step Towards The Tribunal Chronology

Swordsman of The Void:
First Step Towards The Unnamed Chronology

Path of the Council:
First Step Towards A Travller

These are only some of the things you can choose. I have it all assituated, no worries.
Here is an example of a Warrior:

Level 65-150 (Depends upon Path you choose)
You may now choose a path:
Warrior of Light
Level 100-300 (Depends upon Path you choose)
You May Now Continue on the path of the warrior of light:
Bladesman of Justice
So, you get to choose new things that become avaliable to you. Each thing has special bonuses that they offer. Each one also has requirements that you must fulfill. The weakest are the easiest, and are accessible by the lowest levels, the strongest are the hardest, and accessible by highest level.

Well, those are some more sneak previews of what the server will have =D. Sure, you think I can't do it, but I can =P. If you have complaints, please stop flooding forums. Just Email me, and I will be happy to answer. If you think I just suck, send me some email also and I will see to some of the things, or explain why I am doing it that way.

Because I say I know a lot, it seems that a lot of you say that I know nothing. Also my previous history was very sorry, which Monalin confronted me on, and I am meaning, only 2 weeks ago... I have improved since then, you can ask the runner of Fronglo's Server =), as well as the staff.

Email:
xteam_leader@yahoo.com

Just email me for comments, complaints, questions, becoming a staff. I will read each and everything that you guys send and will reply to them, kk. Just don't want you guys to start arguments. This should clear up forms a bit. If you have questions on how I am going to do some of the code, besides the Login-Server, since I am mainly concerned about the website and source for 5.8, then send ask away =). Login-Server will probably not be started on for another month.

Hopefully those will answer and reply to some of the complaints and such that you have said, kk Monalin. Also, I left because I felt bad, and wanted to work with Cleaver. He ended his project, so I joined Fronglo's a bit. While I was working on your server Monalin, is when I got The Path of Chaos idea, and I have been wanting to do my own server with those ideas ever since. Sorry if I am not on as much as I should be to my staff, but school comes first for me, the server is next. On all of my free-time, I am working on code, setting up more projects so that we can get started right away when we finally get a decent voluntary host for server. I am not paying for a nice server host until Beta.

Also, I do not yet have a working compiler for PERL. I have one for C++, so if you guys could maybe help me find one, that would be awesome =). Save a lot of time.

Also, because of how you all acted with alot of the stuff I have said, I am keeping most of the information that will be on the server to myself and the staff on the server. You guys will get sneak previews from now on, kk. All heavy information regarding the server will now be in secret unless you guys send me an email and ask =D. If you truly want to know, you will send emails. I shouldn't have to take my time to tell the public. Anyways, what is wrong with a little surprise, and less people saying I can't do it, lol.

*sighs* Didn't take my advice...

Well, you'll learn eventually, though I think it'll take you failing miserably and being insulted constantly by developers to learn it... I know it did for me :P
