Other Games / Ambardia, A Multiplayer Online Game. (Durr)
« on: July 13, 2009, 11:05:30 am »
Well i never really got into ambardia (too busy playing dwarf fortress), but its a really nice game and i know the guy personally, so i think ill just throw this out there.

Screenshots can be found here, although they are quite old:

The website and download is here: Important Links

A movie is here: Movie

And now ill start explaining it.

So ambardia is a MMO made using the Eclipse Engine. Its one of the few completely released. (with a update every month or two). Ambardia has a expansive world, with many quests to do and things to kill (Interactive World Map). It has its own music made by ambard. It has a nice fairly long backround storyline that you can read via books ingame.

Overall the game is very fun. I have a friend who wont stop playing it.
You also wont be alone, usually theres about 60 people online, but we've also gotten 164 online at one time. And if you hate grinding, go and do the quests, or level up your skills. Did i mention the skills? Last time i check there was only about 10, now m friend tells me theres even more.

Theres more i could say, but if you have any questions, ask me.
Oh, did i mention its Free To Play?

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / A simple idea.
« on: July 02, 2009, 12:42:14 am »
Well i've recently come up with idea, but do to malware on my Windows XP, I am unable to run DF properly. So i cant do it myself.

The idea is a simple design, but its going to take alot of time.

Basically you dig into a mountain, making a long complex maze of 1xN lines all around. Then somewhere you will make large squares. Your fortress is on these squares.

Then after digging that out, you smooth it all down.
After the smoothing, you dig out everything thats not smooth. EVERYTHING. Very far down.

It makes it like a cavern feel.
I drew this small example in MSpaint:


Red is Walkable.
Black is Chasm.

It wouldnt be built on a chasm, but made INTO a chasm.

Life Advice / Malware. Fortress lost.
« on: June 23, 2009, 03:25:17 pm »
Well a few years ago i broke our old computer by downloading a game a bunch of times.

Sooo just a bit ago, my dumbass sister went on facebook, and got the new computer malware infected.
This is a advanced malware and theres no way of curing it. Only option is a reformat.

Well i had all my files on there such as my first, and greatest Dwarf Fortress fort. I also had a bunch of other stuff, such as pictures and graphics for my game.

Heres the best part, im fucked over because my dad doesnt know, and when he finds out, hes going to blame me.
Also my brother is gone, and out of our 38gb harddrive, he has 35gb of his shit on there.  Hes in Germany till next tuesday...He would know hwo to fix it and back it all up, unfortunately, we have to back everything up onto CD's.

And hes about to move out, so hes getting his moving away gift soon, which is a laptop.

All in all, im fucked the most and i need to know...

Do i:

A) Tell my dad and hopes he backs it all up?

B) Wait for my brother?

C) Wait until someone finds out?

DF Suggestions / Invader Justice
« on: June 05, 2009, 10:33:39 pm »
Well i always hate having to hook up a goblin to a chain and then the guards standing there beat him to death.

so i was thinking...to add in Invader Justice. So that once captured they can be moved to a jail then executed.

---------------------------

A World's End RPG is a 2D side scrolling war RPG. In WERPG You chose one of 6 factions. American, German, English, Russian, Japanese, or French.

WERPG is a mainly PVP RPG. The entire game is PVP. It also includes Capture the Flag, Raids, and Destroy the Objective.

Custom Edits: The game will have many custom coding's including Teleports, Parachutes, and possibly aiming. The game is practically a new engine.

Vehicles: The game will also include Buyable vehicles. These vehicles will include tanks, which will be useable only in tank routes against other tanks.

Squads: These are small teams of NPC's that will follow you. When on normal routes you can only have a team of 2. When on tank routes you can have a team of 4 with 2 in vehicles. If you are going to do a parachute drop, you must have enough parachutes for your entire squad.

Routes: are roads or paths that limit or only allow certain people or items. So far there are only 2 kinds of routes, Tank routes and Normal routes. Tank routes are the only way you can use a vehicle of any sorts, they also allow you to have a squad of 4 with you. Normal routes restrict vehicles and squads down to 2 men.

Aiming: This will be used via the mouse. You move the mouse towards the top of the screen your gun will aim up. Move it down it will aim down. Shoot at a hard object, it will stop.

Partical Engine:
a partical engine might be used. 1. for smoke from guns overheating. 2. Fire. 3. Blasts from guns/ammo dropping from guns.

Ammo: There MIGHT be ammo added to the game to make a reload time, ammo will most likely be unlimited, but there will be reload times.

Bases: Now you might be thinking, "OMG its all PVP? The other teams will just kill me when I’m trying to level or when I spawn!" WRONG! Your bases include a training zone within them so low levels can train before setting out. Be warned BASES ARE ATTACKABLE. There will be raids and your best bet is to stay back if you’re a low level. Let the level 50 guards and Heroes take care of it.

Heroes: Heroes are the specially named NPC's of your base. When engaging in a Raid you are looking to kill the other Teams Hero or Heroes. Heroes are usually very highly armored and are above level 50. Best to attack with a group.

Stats: Stats will be in the game. This makes it more of a RPG and also makes it so that a Sniper can also use and do a sufficient amount of damage with a machine gun. All stats go up to level 100.

Weapons: Handguns and knives require defense. Machine guns and shotguns require attack. Riflemen and snipers require vitality. Grenades and rocket launchers require a certain level.

Skills: More info later, So far only in idea process.

Normal Stats: These are the stats such as STR DEF SPD and MAG. now changed to Attack, Defense, Vitality, and Skill.

Banks: banks will store money and items. In the event of a successful raid, a key will be picked up. Bring it to the bank and you receive a random amount of money above 1000.

Money: Money is called UD's aka Universal Dollars. This is used to buy normal items and weapons.

Markets: There is a market in each base, this is to sell your items to others or buy items. There is also a market chat. Which is used by /m [message].

Friend System: There will be a friend system. It will work like so. You will press a button and it will bring up a menu showing your friends and you can add them and remove them and look at them and such.

Global Chat: Global chat is used by typing /g [message]. This goes to EVERYONE. Not just your team!

Radar: still in idea form. We might have a radar/minimap.

Full screen: Full screen playability might be added.

Credit/Checks: This will be a system of where instead of lugging money around with you. You deposit it within a bank and you just click the "Pay with Credit" Button and it shows you, how much you have, how much it costs, how much you'll have left over.

NPC Attacks:
An example of a NPC attack is the attack on the French base that happens every 5 hours or so. This means that on a major tank route 2 German tanks and 4 German men will spawn. On the French side 4 French men will spawn. When the attack starts it will be announced World-Wide (Global Chat). Then it’s up to the French to defend their base, and the Germans to break through and attack the French.

Honor System: as you level you will get different ranks and abilities. When being restricted from using a item, it will say required Level: (insert rank here). So you move up from a private to a General and such. People can see what level you are by your profile and Clothes.

Profiles: There might be profiles added to the game. More on this later. Will look like dog tags, with your rank, name, class, faction, and stats on them.

Maps: I plan to have many many maps in the entire game. Maybe 1000 or so. Because as explained in detail in the next info box, this game is the world.

World/Climate: Well it cant be a modern world game without actual world-like features...so in the final release there will probably be many climates and such. Ranging from Desert to Tundra, you can go anywhere on the earth including Antarctica.

Frames: Frames as in when you move or attack. There will be many frames and we don't know the exact number yet, but we are working on getting it. We are going to try to make it as real as possible.

3 Planes of Enviroment: So we have 3 planes of enviroment. Far-Plane, Near-Plane, and Player-Plane. The Far-Plane is like mountains and such, this moves the slowest. The Near-Plane is like trees and buildings. It moves as you move. The Player-Plane is actually split into 3 extra planes, this is explained in the next info box. This is where your character is.

3 Planes of Movement: Ever played Little Big Planet? Well in it, the have 3 planes of Movment. Front, Middle, and Back. This creates a more 3D feel. Front is closest to you, in the real world. Back is farthest. We are going to use this same idea. So if you press up, you move up, if you move up and hit a ladder, you go up. This would also mean you can go behind the ladder.
