And more players.

btw
 

stefan said there is a look up mode being made.
Sounds good.
You can see the sun and stuff.

But i dunno how they would do it.
These balloons are great though, i wonder if the normal old zepplins on Gk can fly the same?

for Gk a dogfightign element needs introduces, something like making balloons get hurt by arrows, so basically equip your bow vefore boarding balloon.

Also a storage system!

Maybe store in houses or tie up using pet peg?
Maybe have a place in main island to tie your balloon up? like a big pad with the letter B on it? hehe that be cool.

Is it custimizable?
Will I be able to put my own images in?
s it more than just a level zooming system?
Will non vip/gold be able to use the NPC, just not zoom?
Does anyone know? :p

ETA: 2 years, just like many other graal updates.

But on a serious note, this does look neat, all though I dont believe its going to bring in many players just cause they can fly.

Definately will keep me interested for a while though.

That's a really bad idea. I don't think I'd use it on my server if it was like that.

Are the commands and such released for playerworld developement? If so, were can I find a list and instructions on how to utilize them?
I will check the wiki in a few minutes.

Wow...I remember like 2 or 3 years ago when Delteria had a flying platform that Tupper made.

no one answered me, this cant be new cuz its been done before.... zones old zone wars speeders did it.

Looks different.

Thanks for the negative reputation <3 ^^ ;)

:asleep:

whats wrong with just manipulating player.z?

True.

Is there any lag or drop in frame rate from this massive scalling?

I was wondering this. When you are taking off do other players see it to a certain height?

When will this be out, we plan on adding this "flying technology" to shangri-la.We have alot of flying objects such as planes,Ships and HotAir Balloons.This would make shangri-la all the more awsomeness then it already is.

Or how about making the entire floating island airborn? :rolleyes:

It's probably going to be a shadow you see on the ground.

This Flying idea isn't a big thing. They have something that's exactly like this, that A LOT of the players forgot about, It's on Dustari island. You build it with some wood and animal skins, and you make yourself a Zeplin thing, in which you're able to fly from Dustari to the Main Island, and others. The only thing was, you couldn't drop bombs from it, and players could destroy it while your were flying.

That thing is poo, it goes like 0.0001mph and hovers about 1m off the floor, this new ballooning thingy is brilliant, I've tested it and trust me its much better then it looks on that video

Whatever. :p It still practically achieves the same thing. Flying.

Just curious, (Too lazy to read past posts) how do you recive this balloon? Do you build it or buy it?

Probably build it, will probably prepare this for christmas :)

Sounds good.

I'm going to check it out. :p

One more question, won't it make GK Laggy? Espicially for the players who can't handle it already. I'm sure a lot of people will be owning these balloons the second it comes out.

will this zoom thing for the ballon work on PW's?

How far from releasing the technology?

just 3 words GIVE ME IT ;) lol its really awsome

How would it make GK lag? Lag and framerate are not the same thing.

Y'know what else'd be cool based on the same technology?
Skyscrapers.
You only see them go up so high from the street level, but if you get all the way up to roof access, everyone looks like ants down there.
Similarly, cloud-cities, space stations...

It looks pretty nice. However I wouldn't upgrade my acct just to fly in one of those. That's paying real $25~$50 to fly a fake hot-air balloon around. =P It's still a nice update but I think the main focus should be on working out the already existant problems of the servers rather than build new technology that only a select few will be able to use.

In the meantime, a new planet in Zone should be created so it could be tested further, as well as GK. (If BM (G2K1) was still around I'd suggest that instead but that server doesn't seem it will be up any time soon.) Test out how Dropships could act and maybe make some types of elevators in the bases? Some jetpacks that actually jet?? I think that would be cool. :cool: That mech world idea someone meantioned earlier sounds like a good idea!

It has a lot of potential. After it's released more info should be shared about it, such as how other players can see it, if there is an ammo count, if someone can steal it etc etc.

I wanna try...

When is this gonna be released? X_X

Loll I was wondering the same thing, but you beat me to the post.

I just want the baloon gfx to make the Portal to Kingdoms. :-D

Portal?

Hubworld reference. Still working on making a map that doesn't suck. It's tricky when I've got a lot of space and not a lot of content. Classic's portal's easy - the Golden Gate...and if I can get the Baloon for people going to Kingdoms, it'd be a sensible way for them to travel between the worlds (relatively) and a way for Goldies to flaunt their status...Zone's tricky 'cuz I know absolutely nothing about that server, but I guess I can give them some sorta spaceship or teleporter-pad or stargate or something...

Sounds good mate :D

I cant wait for this to come on Zone. Leaving planets and flying to dropships anyone?

And/or space Fight's!

I'll be Han Solo, who wants to be my Chewie?

If it's really that much faster than walking, you could have low-altitude races...

I can;t wait for it to be released, that way I can know some details on it, and how to script it/use it, since asking for them is against the rules

Ok so my question is.. when are you planning to buy the $6,000 license for Fmod?
