Kokaro Forum

Feel free to post here periodically. Oldschool myspace/facebook-type status update thread. Go ahead and post about the perks of you eating a Nature Valley Granola bar on your worst enemies bed, or perhaps the true meaning of life instead. Anything works. ...Within reason.

Forum topic pages look a bit different now, the spacing? Or is it just me?

Doing some of my typical farming and got a new error message possibly related to the new Affinity System or new set, as currently I have 1.25% Affinity towards the Yoshi's Safari set:

You have an SQL ERROR on the following page: /score.php
Error is: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MariaDB server version for the right syntax to use near 's Safari' ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 1' at line 1
The SQL Code used is
SELECT * FROM items WHERE rarityfactor = 3 AND gamename = 'Yoshi's Safari' ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 1
Please report this error using the contact form, it will help Kokaro greatly.

Looking for R5 Nayru's Love from Ocarina of Time

I see the new inventory loading - It would still be cool to have the option to see all items at once as well, as was with the previous Show All button, but I'm aware there were issues obviously like mentioned if there were too many items to load it would time out the server/fail. Nevertheless, the dynamic loading is a welcomed update and definitely an improvement.

Yooooo another set and more avatars  Also, that was something I never mentioned with the inventory loading, so if it's different/updated/more responsive then that is yet again another very great thing!

Also yeah, Ocarina of Time is probably the best one to do right now anyways, seems so difficult to get all the R5’s needed for that set and I have yet to complete that one. Haven’t completed Faxanadu either so that is another good option for me too.

New mechanics, in my game site from 2009?!? Remember how equipment didn't do anything for like 2 decades?

• There's a new equipment slot called "pocket" which allows you to add any item that doesn't have a specific "equipment" slot set.
• Items that are magical and/or are a foil item now give one extra stat each for equipment.
• Equipped items make it more likely to find items within the sets that are equipped (multiple of the same set equipped will combine). The chance increases with the rarity of the item and its magical/foil status. This is called "Affinity".

Dude, this is really cool sounding. Awesome! Still unbelievable that this site is originally from 2009. Sheesh. Thanks for all the little updates lately 

Unfortunately, they need to be a specific type to work with the systems we have here. After looking for a few days, I finally found a working forum that has some downloadable still. All the other forums that have games are privated/no longer working currently. This is a dying art. Let me know if you can find any good ones to add from here: https://ipsproarcade.com/index.php?/ipsproarcade/

If you want me to add them quicker, I also need the following for each game when I add them:

1. Author name/website link
2. Description
3. Minimum score for submission
4. Gold offset - we divide the score by this value to give a gold amount.
5. Score value that grants full rewards - this is usually a high/really good score, but not necessarily the highest score.
6. Maximum chance of an item. This is anywhere from 5 to 20, depending on how long the game takes or other factors.

I'll have to verify everything of course, but it would save me a lot of time, haha.

Made an account on that website so I will be able to browse some here and there. You need an account to play anything I guess, so. I wish I understood the tech a little bit more behind the old arcade stuff like on here because I do remember years ago, old forums used to sometimes have some type of arcade/scoring/stuff like this but nothing as good as Kokaro. I'm surprised you were able to even find a website like what you posted here since search engines have been increasingly more and more unoptimized & broken as time goes on anyways. (Looking at you, Google......)

Wait I tried this game out and I would definitely play it lol! Deal or no deal is a classic and this is a funny spin-off. Great game suggestion, hopefully it is able to be added. I feel like I need to look around for some more possible games to suggest for here as well, but I'm not as knowledgable on finding compatible games. Like, all I really understand is that Ruffle is a flash player alternative and I don't know the compatibility layer on what makes a game able to be implemented or not, I guess.

Oh dang. Okay, yeah I did not know that. Makes sense then to fix. I also see your point on the item collector thing. I guess we just have to continue to be careful in not clicking on magic/foil items when returning to the collector if it is not wanted. There was one small perk of keeping it how it is anyways, that involves it being a bit easier to count how many of each item I currently have anyways that are not magic/foils, since I personally tend to not return all stock of a specific item back (need to keep a couple or so for obtaining medallions and completing sets).

Thanks drath for all your continuous work into keeping Kokaro alive. Super excited about the item set and costumes, was unexpected! The new avatars that I have seen so far in the homepage showcase are sweet. Quick note though, you mentioned "Fixed the collection collector finding foil/magic items when collecting the item set." Although I don't think this was ever an issue. Kloofer and I were talking about the magic/foil items undesirably showing up in the Item Collector. Not for the Collection Collector.

Is it my big Kokaro accomplishment? Or is it a direct confession to no life? The world may never know... Anyways. Woo. 

Currently looking for R5's - Soul Sphere, Magic Sword, Invincibility Potion, Head of the Navigator, Tilt, Mushroom, Helmet

I can sell you one of mine. I have 4 of them lol.

The legend returns.  I have bought yours from the Vendor House. Thanks so much!
