[Important]Thread Tips/Rules

[funhacker]

As I have noticed lately with new people have come the misuse of the tags used here more commonly again. So I thought I would write this explaining the usage of the tags and other tips/rules when posting threads.

Tags:

[Release]
Use this when releasing something (other then a server). An example of this would be a script for servers, new items, new pets, new npcs. Do not use this when making a guide or server.

[Guide]
Use this when writing a guide/tutorial regarding pretty much anything. As in the guide on making a server or adding an item.

[Help]
Use this tag when asking a question. But please try a breif description within the title.

[Server]
Use this if you are advertising your server. But please try to limit the amount of threads and note you will need a link back to elite pvpers on your homepage.

[Concept]
Use this if you wish to discuss an idea or concept you are trying. An example would be decrypting files etc.

[Important]
Use this for threads that are Important an example would be a thread like this. Or one that desribes rules you must follow etc.

[Question]
This is not a very commonly used thread title. This is due to the fact most questions are to do with help. But if you are asking a general question to other epvp members then this would be fine.
Difference:
I have an error with my server what is wrong? - Help
Does anyone have any trouble with this player? - Question

This system isn't 100% complete I still have to locate the royalattire miraclelight dragoncorselet and emerald robe textures and fix a bug with the silver wings. I haven't added ones like pinkromance tranquiltime and elven dance yet.

Icons haven't been fully completed so they just use the same icon as their original casual.

The casuals that don't work have been coded in still but are currently locked.

I have used a pattern to my cq_action code as to be able to add more to it later.

Creds goto Joe of for showing what I was doing wrong in itemtype.dat and shop.dat.


download the database.zip which contains the client and database files needed,
for the cq_action i included a template line you can use when importing.
for cq_task make sure you leave itemname blank
if any icons or such are missin please let me know

Here are the files:

Can anyone tell me what is? (

[Server] ACME - 27-06-2009

Here are a few features we have:

New Auto Patcher (Made by Forcer)
This new autopatcher is much faster then the publicaly availble autopatching service (made by forcer too) - This autopatcher will only work with ACME
Auto-EP (original Creator)
Dye System (original Creator)
Hunting Lands (original Creator)
Forge System (original Creator)
New Online Games (Comming Soon)

Major Bug Fixes we have:
Pot Bug:
This means anyone massively below your pot will now no longer be able to kill you, this bug usually happened when there was a major difference in pot (example 2500pot vs 200pot), as of this moment only ACME has this fix.
Friend/Mentor Exp After 136:
This was because once you hit level 136 your client said you were max level this is now fixed and works up to max level 255. (This fix was done by ACME and any other server with it is using ACME's files)
% Gauge in client displays % all the way untill level 255

We also are able to start making custom pathfinding so if you have any suggestions post them in our forums.

Things to remember:

Make your titles short and to the point. Personaly I tend to ignore threads that ask the question in the title.
Example:
[Help]How can I setup server without any bugs because I can't connect?

There is no need to ask the question in the title just give a category within the titel.
Example:
[Help]Server Connection

This tells those reading the title that your problem is to do with connecting to the server.
Another problem within the title is having no description at all.
Example:
[Help]HELP!!

This just tells people you want help they have no idea what the subject is before so.

These rules apply for all threads.
Here are some examples that are Not correctly named.


Bad Thread Titles:

 Spoiler

I would name it: [Guide]Remove Checksum Manequin


I would name it: [Release]Manequin English DB-Client


I would name it: [Release]Manequine Server


I would name it: [Server]Demons Online Reloaded


I would name it: [Question]Need a GM/PM?


I would name this: [Help]Using Wireless router

Please note that all this is just a suggestion and only my opinion but I do think everyone could benefit from better named threads and shorter titles. I do not mean to offend anyone.


Good Titles:

 Spoiler

Finally when posting a thread try to break it up. The best thing you can do to help others is put spoiler tags around any images you embed, this will mean those that may be unfortunate enough to have a slow connecting to be able to connect to your thread.

[SoulNecturn]

or I guess you could say [Server-2] instead if you want it known that it is a 2nd server.

OK Just fix this info... since it was first server - old post etc etc ... You know now what I mean

Kind Regards
