What? We know how to utilize z heights now? Amazing! :whatever:

And does the shadow get bigger/smaller depending on the height of the object?

Shadow, players and bombs are zoomed based on their z coordinate

Can they use the z effect for things like pipesbombs and stuff on zone?

lool! nice =)

who gfxed the balloon?

They already do. That's how the Z heights work on the mortars work too. When the arc starts out, it's about at the same z height as the character, and then eventually rises above the z height of the character, then falls back down to around that level too. If it reaches the end of the arc, an explosion is triggered, and the bomb itself is destroyed.

not for grenades though because they only go through things when u touch them

Neat :)

We have a working Hot-Air balloon on Babylon! :D
</shameless plug>

just give us a damn zoom var =(

Don't fall for the shock value. If you think about it rationally, it isn't very different from a Zeppelin (On 2K2. It might be significant for other servers.)

WOAH!

It definately will add a very new element to kingdoms. Since these appear that they can, you know, fight.

Which could have been done with a modified Zeppelin. Not something that required new "flying technology". This stuff could have been accomplished (and it probably would have been easier) by using already-existing "technology" (on 2K2.)

Googi as far as I'm aware, there was no such technology to zoom the entire level/gmap.

I hope the Zeppelin gets fixed up to do the same thing as the Hot air balloon ( Zoomage/bombs. :o )

I was being facetious.

That isn't something very relevant to flying (also, other servers have had "world maps", although they weren't created using zooming.)

Yeah, the only thing here that I really need is the zooming of te gmap. Other than that, everything else could have been scripted already. It's a very nice addition.

I would upgrade just for this feature, its just that awesome. Alot of neat stuff can be scripted with it that you werent able to before.

Nice Job with that flying stuff. Now Reactivate parties for all levels, and make big level 90 monsters on Kingdoms that can break -80 ac or more, and have ****load of HP/damage, and require you to party up with someone (or some people) to actually take it down, and it should give a few hundred thousand exp. Once you get to level 50 or so physique you can pretty much bile everything in the game, and even lords/worms give just 3k exp at this level.

im gongi to w8 until they implentment it to decide wether or not its worth it

Even on servers like Zodiac and Unholy Nation 30-50% of the players have gold or vip. I encourage everyone to stay on-topic though.

This is one of those "liek woah" moments.

Neat.

Both videos were shot in perspective of the person in the blimp. I would like to see what it looks like from someone on the ground....will be interesting to view their perspective of the blimp.

Most likely don't see it.. probally? You can't look up =(

Yeah. That's a little bit sad. :(

maybe a shadow on the ground?

Too many shadows would be annoying.. and how about attacking it ;)

Heh.

This sure seems nice

just gonna ask, you know thes lil ship sort things that sit in the dropshops of zone, maybe you could use this new feature and them on zone so in maps you can get in them and battle, and maybe move to to a sort of iricia space battle. (like a dropship where pk is allowed, a teleporter to a uhh i cant think of the word, like a fiant holding area with all the ships, grab a ship, go out, battle other players while trying to lower the enemy dripship sheild defence to 0, land in enemy dropship, take a base, win the game) i think this would be just the best thing ever.

This is just awsome! When will it be available on GK? Christmas? Yay,
I'm waiting for Santa with his flying sledge xD

Meh wants flying Pets! :D

sorry if im a lil late but is this addon just going to affect the Z variable?

now GK just needs dragons using that flying ability, arrows to hit the ships. and GK will also need bigger/new lands to fly in

What if I said I disliked the flying machine? Would you guys tell me Im off subject and delete my post? Cause you sure do stuff like that a lot? GJ graalonline for going against freedom of speech.

But on the other note, I do think the Balloon being tested is kinds boring but the idea of a jetpack and flying up to another world sounds cool.

hey wait, aint that just what the old zone funky lookin white speeders did? in zone wars?

The new thing is that the Gmap will Zoom out, so it really looks like being up in the air...

Probably non VIP/Gold players just won't be allowed to use the NPCs...

With this new techno the possibilties are endless :O
