Starting Out

Simple Starting Guide[edit | edit source]

All you have to do is download the info files (no executables, we're not a MMO... yet...), create a character based off the guidelines for said info files, finalize it on the character thread, then start posting away in the main RP thread.

The archived version of the latest version of Jungalore is available here. (Certain files may be out of date, given that SomebodyElse has been working on them and doing rebalancing as needed for the wiki.)

Diving In[edit | edit source]

To really dive into the RP, we would first suggest getting an idea of where everything is in the files. A copy of this starting-out guide can be found in the "Chronicles of Jungalore" folder.

You should have a few other text files, and the following folders; Battle, Character, Items, Locations, and Official Content.

  1. Battle: Contains info related to battle as well as a folder containing all of the monsters.
  2. Character: Contains info related to your character, all the skills, classes, races, and so on. It also contains a character skeleton and instructions on how to start a character.
  3. Items: Contains info related to items, including weapons, armor, and enchants.
  4. Locations: Contains info related to all the locations in the RP. It helps to also use one of the maps located in the opening post.
  5. Official Content: This folder contains all books, official quests, info on making your own quests, and any info on the official NPCs (named characters that have a generally permanent place in the world) as well as making your own NPCs.

Additional Reading[edit | edit source]

From here, we'd recommend reading files in the following order:

  1. The Rules of the Roleplay
  2. Character Creation
  3. Races
  4. Classes
  5. Play Modes

When you have filled out a character skeleton, save it and post it here.

Be sure to keep that topic close, as you will be in charge of keeping it up to date alongside your character. You don't have to update it every time you post (though, it is highly recommended), but just keep it relatively consistent just in case you happen to lose the filled out text file.

Now, simply begin your RP by posting as your character at this link.

Final Thoughts[edit | edit source]

How you experience Jungalore is entirely up to you, and if you want to experiment with various builds before posting a filled out skeleton, feel free to do that as well! You don't need to memorize anything, as it's all written down too. So, without further ado, enjoy!
