I'm rewriting mobs meanwhile. Of course magic mobs cannot be completed without spells, and spells need names for a start. I'm personally against any standard names like fire☆ or fira, which are only useful without a spells sorting gui.

LoL

And I am in favor of Fire 1/2/3/4 or Fire/Fira/Firaga/Firaja + unique names for other spells :) Maybe we can throw a dice in chatroom or something when we all get together in there to discuss something again :)

Fira stuff is easy to understand only for those who played FF. And even then you can easily confuse Firaga and Firaja.

Hmm.. in the end.. separating BG/char did not improve noise reduction.. all i can do to make it better is try to add more samples ( xx*hour ) but i can improve resolution so the pixels are smaller.. i used 1280x720 since it was original BG image but nothing stops me to double that resolution or more..

Edit:
Well separating the 2 is a good idea because i could add a lot more sampling to reduce the noise on char even more as BG might be a little out of focus.. so it could use less.. then it could give a optimal result..

As for the last link is the noise reduction decent enough or need a lot more ?

Not really but not enough to actually rename them. As long as mechanics and learning process are decent, we can get away with names.

Lol no, we need to decide something already. One thing is to rename them once in battle assets, but I'm about to use them in mobs json.

Ok... so I'll throw dice in the chat and add the results as my next post...

1 = Unique names for all.
2 = Fire (something) for 4 base spells of each element and unique names for everything else. If 2 is rolled, we'll roll another dice for specific pattern.

I'll roll it in 5 mins from this post :)

It's 2 :)

No cheating or anything like that, my mod rights don't give me an option to edit posts without leaving a trace after 3 mins or so have passed :)

Next Roll:

1 = Fire 1,2,3,4
2 = Fire, Fira, Firaga, Firaja
3 = Fire + Weird star symbols... (I actually really dislike this approach)

Rolled: 3 :(

*But on the brightside, it's less work for you  ::)

Also rolled 3 but liked the.. 2 = Fire, Fira, Firaga,  (Firaja) not this one the name is confusing..

Maybe the Disgaea system is less confusing.. ( fire / Alfa fire / Giga fire / Omega fire / Tetra fire )

How about Fire - Fire Row - Fire Any - Fire All for the first 4 basic spells? And they will work accordingly.

Maybe Row/all are too powerful.. if there is 4 enemy in a row ( row will hit all of em 100% with fire ) while fira(e Alpha) will hit target and the ones on the side of the row but not anyone on the back row.. and firaga(e Giga ) could hit the ones on the side of the row and the one on the back closest to target ) and so on..

This would make you chose the target you hit with your spell strategically and if you grasped the enemy turn system ( dont know if you gona use agi or something to decide how fast someone will get his/her turn back ) then you can chose the right target(s) to optimize your fighting success

But the fire 4(or the highest lvl) even with this system could cover all like fire all would do..

Just for example, the names in order of increasing strength element. For the first four spells.

........................................................... .
Frost >> Ice Blast >> Blizzard >> Maelstrom

Flare >> Fireblast>> Inferno >> Meteor

Sever >> Cyclone >> Typhoon >> Tornado

Stone >> Rock Blast >> Sandstorm >> Quake
........................................................... .
Levels of spells, simply switch button in the interface (depending on the level of changing cost and strength).
