Ancient Language

[LTKiinG <3 2]

well i had an idea, since there are ruins all over asulon i would believe that maybe like in Egyptian tombs, that they could add an ancient language comprised of mysterious symbols to stuff like sandstone because i believe in the default texture pack there looks like there is symbols on it

feel free to leave your comments and thank you for reading

Have you seen the ruins on the way to the orcs and Alras? look at those symbols and ancient text, simply baffling

[LTKiinG <3 2]

i mean like making up an ancient language, not using the symbols on there now i have ideas for some symbols and we could maybe find a way to implement it or something, but right now i can only think of making art and putting it forums or such

Some nations are already doing this. The Mori have theirs and we dwarves have one too.

[LTKiinG <3 2]

no i mean like ancient symbols from the before times of when the ruins were built (rp wise) like a central ancient language with symbols not just arranging letters like i've seen the dwarves and mori's do i will be working on setting up an image to show what i mean

[Charles_Grimlie 1072]

Do you mean something like those symbols that are carved into the earth? Or hyroglyphics old chap? As the spiffing Dwarves use the rather unique runes that I have constructed in to their dapper walls!

[LTKiinG <3 2]

whichever is a symbol to represent a letter

That would be an alphabet if you making a symbol that direction coincides to a letter

For example the coded alphabet I drew up one time because I was board is like this

A = O

E= O|

I= |O

O= O.

U= .O

Sean= _|. O| O |/|

They are easer to Wright on paper then to type on a computer but that's a basic Alphabet using symbols, is that the kind of thing you mean?

Edit: side note you've just sparked an interest in me im going to re-wright my alphabet so that it looks good when typed, you know just because i can

Edit 2:

Here is a slightly modified version of my Alphabet fixed so that it look good when typed on a sign.

A O

B -

C ;

D :

E O.

F -.

G ;.

H :.

I .O

J .-

K .;

L .:

M .;.

N .:.

O O|

P -|

Q ;|

R : | (R makes a smiley here normally there isent a space there)

S .|

T ..|

U |O

V |-

W |;

X |:

Y |.

Z |..

yeah that's what i was thinking, and i drew up symbols too but not really designed for computers so if people do like this idea we could use something like you did (but maybe not the same so people can't just meta and say the know the language and that a small amount of people get to know the symbols assignment to which letter)

The problem is placing them in Asulon.

This.. Is.. Sooo awsome, Look at my Signature :3

V

yeah that was the one problem is was thinking of, im not any food at plug ins or such so i don't know id it'd be good or easy

Fletcher McDweaf ? is that a name or something.

Also its pretty simple to do you just need 6 variables I can make em off the top of my head for example.

I like this one better then the last one to be honest i think the ; made the last one look messy

The real bonus with these kinds of symbols is that they can be made without extra fonts and plug ins

A O

B |

C <

D >

E O:

F |:

G <:

H >:

I : O (anti smiley space)

J : | (anti smiley space)

K :<

L :>

M :<:

N :>:

O O.

P |.

Q <.

R >.

S :.

T ::.

U .O

V .|

W .<

X .>

Y .:

Z .::

but yours look a tad to emoticon, i prefer the other one and if this gets implemented or something we should use ones like his

Perhaps although they look less like emoticons when typed in sentences and put on signs. But as i said they are pretty easy to make and change, the main point is that they can be typed on a sign they don't need a plugin or a link to some art on the forms to be understood and implemented.

Literately a culture could just pick up an Alphabet like this and start using it straight away as part of there own law, and there wouldn't be any complications confusions or plugin they would be just there.
