Baby Steps or a Community Project?
« on: September 24, 2015, 05:41:13 AM »

Hello there all who read this on the forums, I was wondering if maybe SL would truly have a major upgrade? I mean this sincerely, if the site will shift from its standard and original ways? Or maybe now because the series ended we can input new information and make a more current setting to the site overall? Don't get me wrong I still love it and all but as we progress as ninja and shinobi maybe the site can as well? I say this, interested in change in some major way and I believe it can certainly be done, especially with all the great minds the site is known to have. The borders and separations is really what brings it down in the first place, if we just kinda work together SL can re-bounce, I surely believe that. Personally though, I feel like RP should be more heavily implied on the main server as it is conjoined with in-game interaction as well. Maybe rework some of the technique jutsu's and roles we have. Include more updated pictures? Like we have going with the shops and whatever else, kinda to freshen up the place. I know I would certainly do whatever I can to help and if it is for the site, would offer my photoshop hacking skills to come up with things for SL. Maybe even appoint village specific Game Masters to encourage RP and keep the sense of things going; providing a general idea of plot and story line for some people to go by, because most are afraid of being judged for what they do in the first place and tend to just keep to themselves instead of express. I certainly would like to see some change for the better and wouldn't mind being apart of such process and progress. I know baby steps is more of a better approach but that would require me continually make ideas that might not be generally liked all the time and agreed upon, opposed to the community as a whole pooling in their ideas to get a generalized enjoyable setting. Kinda like organizing our own home, if its allowed of course. I also cannot forget to mention Kayenta for offering her ideas about clan options and merging boards and other things in the topics before hand would also be a good change to implement. I feel like any step forward is a good way to liven the site back up, hopefully. Because I certainly wouldn't mind seeing the masses rise back up on a once popular and favored site.

And yes this is me rambling about missing the old days and wanting something to kinda bring it back in a new aspect.

Can you code PhP/HTML/CSS or know how to use MySQL and other techy stuff? No? Well nor does anyone else on the site minus like 5 people.

Neji isn't going to edit the server to cater to rp more. It's been tried before and unless his mindset has since changed....we're SOL. As for updated pictures and that did you already find some to go with what you want?

Neji is the owner and has a life outside of SL. He doesn't get paid to do anything on SL yet still does do stuff. (Unless he be pulling out dem paypal donations) jk jk

So everyone knows Minecraft. The core game itself is.....eh. However with the community the game is sooooo much more. Well that's what I look at SL as.

Community work will make the game better.

Well thats what I'm getting at here. Neji is just but one person but if we all pitch in with what we know. I know some things and you know some things, together we can know lots of things and that would be worthwhile to actually put some changes across the board. Instead of just asking and begging for them. :o

KG updates will be nice as well. As for coding, I lost all interest after Java so I cannot help there. But just because I don't know it doesn't mean this idea for change is out of luck. >>; Unless I'm the only one who cares about this and am just chugging the titanic by myself. If thats the case I'll just shut up and work with what I've got but it certainly won't be for much longer. Which is why I ask. If coding really is a problem, there are people who would be willing to do some, if not, maybe all of the work for a few dead presidents they value over their own time. I can try and talk to some people who I took classes with that were more cut out for that lifestyle to even help out if its that hard to find or do. I'm willing to put forth my own set of help anyway I can, doesn't mean I'll know what I'm doing but I'm willing to do it anyways. I just don't find myself productive on this site if I'm still doing the same things I was doing years ago (And I mean this in-game wise not my actual person/self/life) Minor changes here and there, especially to keep up with the now 'complete' series would certainly be beneficial to keep me more engaged and possibly others as well.

I would like it as well because this game is seriously outdated compared to where Naruto is right now. But, even though I would like a game-wide update, I can't offer any help because I'm not a coder. I'd only be able to offer ideas, and that's not any help at all lol

Java killed my hopes of being a programmer as well. I think they teach you that first just to weed out the scrubs.

I can offer my typos and other ideas as they occur. But who can I throw under the bus here?

Hrm....Murcielago! Do you know how to do those things?

Something that might be cool to do is search the old requests and see if anything there is viable with a reboot of the setting. There were so many ideas like new mounts and pictures for clan hall MOTD, a travel hub upgrade, other stuff to do with gems like smithing the armor and weapons patch? Is that what they are called?

Hopeless...though I can manage an edit to pictures on Gimp these days it seems. I like to read and edit text. And of course color coding. We can't forget the color coding. Grrrr....we just might have to have a webinar so we can learn this stuff before there is no one left around who can do it anymore!

No disrespect but....it feels like majority of the people that RP dont even use their turns so what would be the point? >.>

Personally I'm fine with the way things are. Of course a few things can be updated and improved upon but I'm not for a major update of the site itself. Just the little things. A new village here, a new shop there. >.>

Well certainly it could bring them back into the forest interested for to find out what the new updates would do or if foresting just became a little bit better? I'm with it all, meaning; digging up old topics to finally implement them, providing new pictures fitted to the appropriate size and all that lovely stuff, maybe add some color coding and updated info/details of villages/shops/etc, some new shops with things to offer, personally want the gems to be able to be stored in dwellings, its only 50, anything really. I remember there was also talk about fixing up the private match zones with their time limit to offer more areas to be reserved for battles.

And as a group we'd be able to cover more ground than just putting this task on a single person. Which is why we should band together instead of argue against one another to make stuff happen! And Hey! I also don't want to forget the cool thing Neji installed into Ichiraku's Ramen. People should start using that more in game to advertise ICly and get some notifications on the bulletin board regarding each village and maybe update with brief news articles to keep travelers alert in where to go and what not. Could have some sort of group of people who visit villages and update the board based off what they see.

Lucky for you two! (Kayenta and Keito) You don't need to have master coding skills in Java for PhP, but that's not to say a basic understanding of it wouldn't help. :P

Example of PhP:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <link type='text/css' rel='stylesheet' href='style.css'/>
    <title>PHP!</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <img src="Paste link in here"/>
    <div class="header"><h1>
      <?php
      $welcome = "Let's get started with PHP!";
      echo $welcome;
      ?>

Where the difficulty for most (I believe or most just for me) is with the if, else if, etc statements. Which Java uses a lot.

<?php
      for ($dog = 1; $dog <= 10; $dog++) {
        if ($number <= 9) {
            echo $dog . ", ";
        } else {
            echo $dog . "!";
        }
      }; ?>

However before you do any of that you need to learn HTML and CSS. These two languages are the basics and VERY easy to learn. A child could learn HTML.

Repetition is KEY. Now while I say these things and flash a few lines of code you may be like 'Well shit Ben looks like you know your shit" and that's not true. I can pull a couple hundred out of my bank account, but that doesn't make me rich. Same for here.

Here's a good site to learn stuff on: https://www.codecademy.com/

Take about 24 hours to learn CSS and PhP over the course of a week or two and you'll have a much better understanding of how SL runs. Shit, I have a LoTGD test site up. PM on SL and I'll give you a link and give you admin powers and show you files and shit. (Note: mention of another LoTGD is not advertising as it's a test site to learn PhP. Nothing more. >.>)

If you don't want to learn code then look for Naruto pictures or make new enemies for the forest or write out new events or come up with a new shop idea and so on. :P

All in all though if you learn some code it will help immensely.

oy. I really do want to learn. I will try.

it is something I feel that is important to know. For me motivation is the huge hurdle.

But once that is crossed I soon become obsessed in a project.

I will work on the motivation and scheduling to open up time in my day for a new skill. Then I will get back to you on links and such. These last 2 weeks at work there was turmoil requiring that we all put in extra hours. but that has fortunately passed. Now I am dealing with the fatigue issue and trying to get caught back up on my gaming rps. I really want to dedicate a lot of creativity to the chuunin exams. So do not look for me to begin learning until the first of the year.

If the server truly catered to RPing there would be a way to revive other players from the shades (if possible to code). Of course for people who do the forest as a side task and get killed by RNG don't have to wait until the new day. Though that kinda defeats the achievement of gaining 16 reborns though it is easy mode once you have a certain combination at the minimum of I say 5 reborns.

That is possible to code. :P

There's always the option to revive with enough souls if you truly didn't want to stop rp'ing you'd wait until after all your rps were done to die.
