Working on NEW RPG Abilities for the server

Post by BaronVonRotterdam » Thu Aug 21, 2008 11:44 am

I have been at this for about 3 days now. I have just finished one ability called "AbilityManhattanProject" this ability is just like ultima except it spawns a nuke and costs 100 stats for level 1 and 100 for level 2. Also you must have max damage reduction and health. The second ability I am creating (havent thought of a good name yet) is just like manhattan except it spawns a mega-vortex (chaosut vortex but with farther range and other more violent effects). All you will have to do is just put the rpg.u in your systems as I am building all files into the package. Tell me what you think of the ideas.

wanted ask same and this:

szenrio 1:

i am last player allive in last wave 20.
the last monster(s) kill me.
"my" nuke kills last monster(s).

would be nice to see something new:

DRAW GAME!

and we "only" get 500exp instead of 1000.
(for the honour of trying or whatever)



szenario 2:

i am last player allive NOT in the final wave.
the last monster(s) kill me.
"my" nuke kills last monster(s).

what now? "we" won, because of no monsters
allive, they won because of all players dead.
continue game?
end of game?
or because of i saved the "honour" with my nuke
all other players can continue gaming but i need to
spec the next 1(-2-3) wave(s)?



can it be "used" every wave (when i try to get killed by titans or w/e)?
can it be "abused" (in the middle of 1017 soldiers) by forcing suicide?

Last player dies = Game over, despite any running weapon fire.

Meh, if those come out, those will make ultima obsolete probably, really, I think ultima needs an upgrade or something to actually make it worth while (or drop it and replace with these) and iron legs should be dropped from the ability list since we DON'T take damage from falls so its whole purpose is useless. I say this so no new players will see it and think, "well since this ability is here, that must mean we can take fall damage so I better get this ability" or anything of that like. Remember, don't confuse this with iron shoes, since that one does work, I have used it before and it stops the pushing, but sturdy is better since those stop the bounce from titans and its a very expensive ability to get.
Sometimes a crazy move is the best move.

Well I am in the middle of testing my work. When I am done I am considering releasing the rpg.u to you guys for download. I already thought about the situation of players spawning and then killing something and suiciding to get points. I talked to joey and we were talking about putting a piece of code in there that if you suicide the ability does not kick on.

Well I am on my way to being almost done with the RPG abilities but here they are in action. I also have the XM8, X-Painter, and the Vortex displayed. All of these I plan on putting up for download.

GIVE ME SOME FEEDBACK! Tell me what you like, what you dont like, or what you want to see. Just a quick reminder THESE ARE STILL IN DEVELOPMENT, so don't be too harsh with the comments about what you don't like. Oh and yes the XM8 does actually fire a bullet projectile.

black-hole/nuke-death nice, guess people want have it and level 285/300
could be a bit "high"...

what does it mean: "...no ghost"... its not workin with ghost but with resurect? (resurect first, then 2. death black-hole/nuke?)
