I haven't heard if it was possible to add these yet, but I figured I'd give some of the information to make them.

Format: .BMP

Size: 480x320 pixels

Transparency: #FF00FF

Note: (I hope this was the right section to post these, since they are usually used for newer players)

Perfect! ( I don't have enough disk space to play "disassemble the client")

Oda is it possible to make more NPCs using these?

More would be nice to help new players progress from nothing to mid-game aside from just simple interface... like explaining x features

Should be using these to explain about how to put cards into equipment as well.

Personally, I loved how these were done and hope to see more of this kind of illustration for teaching people new to the game about other features.

Same. Using these illustrations could help with any number of things. Some people just learn better in different ways--reading, illustrations/videos, and hands-on tutorials.
No different from school xD

I think something else that this can help with though, is that they can be made humorous so that they are more memorable

Question: can get get some auto or game play with that? Some games offer game play or "training" videos you can watch on the site before you make the class you choose.

I've heard that kRO is working on in-game browser integration so videos is something we may be able to add in the future. Right now, we can have images come up as part of a NPC's dialog. Let's put together a "script" for some things that need tuturials and start contracting some forum posters to do the art.

And we either need some sexy British voice COUGHXELLIEXCOUGH or some girl with a really sexy voice COUGHXELLIECOUGH

But I got some equipment good recording equipment so I'll pass the word around to a few of my friends and I'll see if they can do some voice acting.

I figure the videos need to be done to show a selection of gender/age/accent etc.

I'm totally up for recording some, I'll put on my best BBC English voice.

When doing it please make sure to use a good mic and a Pop Filter. It's the best seen with people who try to make their own abridge series with out the right equipment. They got funny jokes but the sound quality is horrible.

Also some good sound editing software is audacity (in case you didn't know) It doesn't have all the fancy sound features, but you can cover the basics do a good job at cleaning the sound up, format changing, good slicing, and track overlay.

If/when this happens, could you guys look into a way to integrate something like Ragial into the game?


Also, if we are adding voices to accompany the dialog in the game, please offer a way for people to turn them off as well.

My mind was totally not in the gutter on that last post :)

However

I've put together a few scripts giving an over view to iRO, I made few recordings, but its still a bit odd. We also need video of the classes in action, showing a good range of skills and abilities using BELOW STANDARD/LEVEL gear. So when players join in, they'll see more damage, and it's an instant ego stroke.

kRO already has this (sortof). Shop searching feature. You can search existing shops and see if something is vending. Can't do things like check old prices and sale histories though.

Sorry for the double post, but since the older one is a day old, I think I'm allowed to do it once ^^

Promise is Promise (even though I'm heavily tired AND hungry... <.<), the Tutorial illustrations I found.
Some are from fRO, some from jRO.

Since these are A LOT I'll only showing a few of them and pack them all together in a downloadable file for you.


from fRO:

They have a little question thing going on and work with images pretty well.
Even though... some are missunderstandable... o.O

Posted Image

You can see more examples in the download file.


jRO has much more to offer, and I really mean: MUCH more...

They have images to explain classes

Posted Image Posted Image Posted Image

Attributes and Status Icons

Posted Image Posted Image Posted Image Posted Image

Game Mechanics

Posted Image Posted Image Posted Image Posted Image Posted Image

...and more

Posted Image Posted Image Posted Image Posted Image Posted Image


Also, I found a lot of this. I guess they're from jRO? But since the writing is english, there's no france version from it, etc... I simply don't know. May also be from Malaysia (they have an english server as well) or another server...

Posted Image



Please note: I don't want to encourage you to simply copy these.
I post them here to simply give ideas and show what's possible, that's all ^^

Have fun:
