Toggle elevation or something like that was mentioned in earlier threads.

Yea, I like muffs mouse-over elevation thing, Isometric is really bad imo. The graphics of RPGWO are not really graphics just pictured that move around and stuff. If you want isometric you need to make it so the pictures move and when they do you see their back. This would be very annoying and everything. Iso would be really annoying just to look at also. I am used to the nice clear flatness of rpgwo, not some 3d wolf that will hurt my eyes after a while. No Iso imo.

for iso i was thinking with the crop growth etc. And it would be good to see hills and stuff too.

Little tip:
if your are trying to hide your name (Delta) try blacking out the taskbar as well as the game window

maybe a toggle between the 2? just a thought :\

wasn't trying to hide my name otherwise i would have. Had a .jpg editor open with an old screen shot and delta was running in the background. The name covered up was actualy Lucy

LIES! The selected window was Delta, Also infront of the screen, Also what you took a screenshot of.

Leave the graphics alone. The amount of time and energy it would take to redo everything isn't worth it. The classicism of RPGWO is the 2D pixel-shaded sprites. ISO would fuxx it up.

Now if you got some talent in 3D modeling... thats different. I've muxxed around in maya a lot and I know the capabilities are astounding. But then you have to remember what this is. It isn't worth it unless you can get the system so clean that it won't lag like a beach if an avatar is on three peoples screens at once.

My Vote: Leave it alone.

I'm for the test idea, you never know if it will work until you try.

BlackThursday · « **Reply #51 on:** December 26, 2007, 04:22:40 pm »

I like the ISO personally, I move with my right mouse button anyway, so it'd be no problem for me to get around.

What does right mouse clicking have to do with anything?

Beacuse if it was isometric it might be confusing to use the Arrow Keys, [explitive deleted]

Indeed.

I think it could be an interesting idea, although the 2D graphics are nice. I'd take a bit of planning, since you'd need to add a few things. The only probelm I see is entering a building/underground.

Mystic · « **Reply #58 on:** January 09, 2008, 01:48:59 am »

Also for a shameless bump.... will there be a way to change the camera angle?

Here's an idea:
On server selection screen, when user selects a server with version 2 interface, he is prompted wether to use original 2D or the new isometrics environment. I'm sure it's not that complicated for you to code, Mickey. Then include some automatic statistics script, which reports the use of 2D or isometrics. After, say 1 month, you gather the results and see which has been used more often and then go with people's choice.
