Player Hint Guide: THE MAIN SCREEN</FONT></H1>
|
|
<P>This is the screen in which you play the game. It has many
|
|
interesting areas, all of which you should become familiar with.</P>
|
|
<P><IMG SRC="mainscreen.jpg" NAME="graphics2" ALIGN=RIGHT HSPACE=19 VSPACE=10 WIDTH=671 HEIGHT=506 BORDER=0>The
|
|
<B>GAME WINDOW</B> is where all the visual action takes place. You
|
|
will always be in the center of this window.</P>
|
|
<P>The <B>DIALOG WINDOW</B> tells you where you are (In Earton on
|
|
Horse Isle in this case), what is at the same spot you are on, and
|
|
many other things as they come up.</P>
|
|
<P>Directly below these windows is the <B>BUTTON PANEL</B>. Clicking
|
|
on any of these buttons gives you different information about various
|
|
aspects of the game:</P>
|
|
<UL>
|
|
<LI><P><B>STATS</B> gives you your personal statistics: how tired,
|
|
hungry and thirsty you are, what you are wearing, what awards you
|
|
have won, how many quests you have finished, and so on.</P>
|
|
<LI><P><B>INVENTORY</B> shows what you are carrying with you. Unless
|
|
you have a ranch with a shed, you can carry 40 different kinds of
|
|
items, and 50 items of each kind.</P>
|
|
<LI><P><B>PLAYERS</B> gives you some information on the other
|
|
players who are playing at the same time you are. You can see who
|
|
they are, find them on a map, look at the horses in their stable,
|
|
and send them a private message. Players with single stars next to
|
|
their names are monthly subscribers; double stars have subscribed
|
|
for three months, and red-centered stars have subscribed for a year.
|
|
Green stars with an M inside denote game Moderators (Mods), and red
|
|
stars with an A are game Administrators (Admins).</P>
|
|
<LI><P><B>PROFILE</B> allows you to change your user icon and what
|
|
you have written about yourself in your player profile.</P>
|
|
<LI><P><B>MAP</B> is a very interesting and extremely useful
|
|
feature. The Map will always show you where you are on the isles.
|
|
You can find the names of other places by holding the mouse cursor
|
|
over the place whose name you want to know. At the bottom of this
|
|
page is a map with most of the islands labelled.</P>
|
|
<LI><P><B>HELP</B> brings up a quick run-down of the game in the
|
|
Dialog Window.</P>
|
|
<LI><P><B>QUIT GAME</B> saves all your settings and gets you out of
|
|
the game cleanly. Always end a game by using the quit button to
|
|
avoid losing any data!</P>
|
|
</UL>
|
|
<P>The <B>GLOBAL CHAT WINDOW</B> will show chat from any game
|
|
character, and whatever is in this window is seen by all players. It
|
|
will also show you who has logged in and who has disconnected. The
|
|
<B>PERSONAL CHAT WINDOW</B> shows chat that only your buddies, or a
|
|
single person of your choice, can see. Below this is is the chat menu
|
|
and type-in area. These will be discussed more thoroughly on the <A HREF="chat.html">Chat</A>
|
|
page. This window also shows <A HREF="quests.html">quest</A> progress
|
|
and in-game news, so watch it carefully as you play, even if you are
|
|
not chatting.</P>
|
|
<P>To the right of the SEND button is the Wrench/Spanners icon for
|
|
your <B>TOOLKIT</B>. The toolkit contains a binoculars, magnifying
|
|
glass, rake and shovel, as well as a volume control for game
|
|
background music, a "Low Detail" control (for eliminating
|
|
some special effects when playing during peak hours, to make it run
|
|
slightly faster), and buttons for clearing the chat windows.</P>
|
|
<P>Below all of this is the name of the server you are on, how much
|
|
money you have on hand, how many players are online, how much mail
|
|
you have waiting for you at City Hall and the current game time and
|
|
date. Clicking the four white squares allows you to change the
|
|
background melody to a random tune. The FPS number (Frames Per
|
|
Second) is a measure of how fast the game is running on your
|
|
computer. Twenty-four frames per second is as fast as it will go;
|
|
anything higher than 20 is excellent speed.</P>
