[BETA OPEN, JOIN NOW!] Fantasy ( Trading? ) Card Game

[Laeresh]

Project has halted atmo, something got in between, please be patient


Well i have finished the system i think  :razz:
Therefor i am opening up a beta of 1 or 2 weeks ( if the testers are very active in the first few days a second week or longer is not needed to get the confirmation that it's working ).
To sign up for the beta, send me a pm with subject "Rakios Beta", and put in a little message asking that you want to try it out ^^.
Please provide a login name and password you want to use, since i am going to disable the registration script during beta.
Please note: you can change your password ingame and i am unable to see it since it is encrypted, there is no way i can know your password unless i have set it myself or you just were dumb enough to tell me.

Do mind, i don't need the entire metconst so sign up now before the limit is reached :D.

Well i found an engine, worked on it and am now almost complete to creating an online trading card game.
The system is completely playable, i am yet to implement the fact that you have to earn cards and that you can trade them.
( perhaps add a currency and a shop where you can buy from shop and other players and earn points to spend from playing the game ).

Example available cards:

The fact is i have a pretty balanced set of available cards but i'd like to give them hell and throw them overboard and make a unique game.
But i need help on that.
Will continue to use the set anyway

I'll try and work on some cards, but it'll need to be balanced.
Can't play a game with only 10 cards available can we?

How to suggest a card
Simple, we need a bit of information and preferrably a card image to represent it.
I'll edit this topic later with some extra information and a form.
Also i'll attempt to setup a demo ( dummy  :grin: ) server today.
Card suggestion has been intergrated


Hope there's some ambition for it.

I never played any of these cards in real life, but I pwned at the FFVIII & FFIX card games. I got ALL the cards in FFIX and all but 2 in FFVIII. Depending how easy they are to make, I'd say make a full Super Metroid set. All the info about their stats plus their pictures can be found in SMILE. I don't know how your cards are set up, but I could help you with this. I just need a sample.

Metroid Construction Trading Card Game Gogogogogo

A completely different battle engine and card template would be cool, though. That's probably already what you had in mind :^_^:

[zephyrtronium]

What are the rules for the game? Do cards have stats? If so, what are they, and what do they do? Are there multiple kinds of cards? Can cards alter the rules? Is there any underlying premise or storyline to the game?

Is there any underlying premise or storyline to the game?

It will be based upon the arcomage engine from the Heroes of might and magic games ( it was a subgame ).
But it will have far more options, keywords etc.
Basic point is to destroy opponments tower ( and wall >.> ), by attack score from cards, many other effects for example Charge ( if wall=0 then charge value is extra attack on tower ), Costs for cards etc...
I will post some demo screens tomorrow.
Just got home from school ( had a volleyball tournament, owned the teacher, fucking smashed into his face  :lol: :grin: ).

I have a problem here....

When you try to register you currently get the following error:

Code Select Expand

XML-parsefout: geen element gevonden
Locatie: http://localhost/demo2/
Regelnummer 1, kolom 1:
^
Translated, XML parse error, no element found.
Location: localhost
Line #1, Colomn #1

"^" // Is the symbol on line 1 ?

Problem is, here is my login script.

Code Select Expand

{
if (isset($_POST['Login']))
{
$current = "Page";
$information = "Login failed.";
}
elseif (isset($_POST['Registration']))
{
if (isset($_POST['ReturnToLogin'])) // TODO: rename this
{
$current = "Page";
}
elseif (!isset($_POST['Register']))
{
$current = "Registration";
}
elseif (!isset($_POST['NewUsername']) || !isset($_POST['NewPassword']) || !isset ($_POST['NewPassword2']) || trim($_POST['NewUsername']) == '' || trim($_POST['NewPassword']) == '' || trim($_POST['NewPassword2']) == '')
{
$current = "Registration";
$error = "Please enter all required inputs.";
}
// elseif (preg_match("(<|>|'|\"|:)", $_POST['NewUsername']))
// {
// $current = "Registration";
// $error = "Name contains invalid characters.";
// }
elseif ($_POST['NewPassword'] != $_POST['NewPassword2'])
{
$current = "Registration";
$error = "The two passwords don't match.";
}
elseif (($playerdb->GetPlayer($_POST['NewUsername'])) OR (strtolower($_POST['NewUsername']) == strtolower(SYSTEM_NAME)))
{
$current = "Registration";
$error = "That name is already taken.";
}
elseif (!$playerdb->CreatePlayer($_POST['NewUsername'], $_POST['NewPassword']))
{
$current = "Registration";
$error = "Failed to register new user.";
}
else
{
$current = "Page";
$information = "User registered. You may now log in.";
}
}
Perhaps it's an CSS issue ?
I'm looking through my files at the moment.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Fixed login problem.
Busy doing the final touch ^^. cosmetic values.
( Finishing intergrated forum, fix any grammars, double check core functions, properly intergrate card database into core, populate game manual/faq page, decrease filesize by placing code in more seperate files and use "include" ).

Will hold a beta soon.

[Zhs2]

The forum itself is a card game? Coooooooool...

[Laeresh]

[Malpercio]

stupid school blocking link and home comp not seeing forums

[personitis]

I must say, that's a really nice site you got there. Very sleek and well thought out in design.

[Laeresh]

What site are you talking about ?
I haven't gave the link yet to the game ?

[personitis]

Click the link in your first post, the click parent directory. Takes me to a forum like site.

[Laeresh]

Yeh, but i still need some subject to base the forum about so people will populate and use it  :grin:
If you got any ideas, i'm welcome to hear them.
