It was going to be like that, but stuff happened.

Also IMO Era = worse every reset so.. you better have some good new improvements other than sidewalks/gym/unpkableness of Jenn's Era that I didn't play too much of, and that one BS scene where everyone had everything for like 3 or 4 months. Era I came too (With the basket and old inventory/movement) > Chris' reset (Guns had no vareity because there was, AK,FAMAS, and M4 that's basically all you were limited too, and then they ended up giving stuff away for free in the end) > Jenn's NEW ERA that took so long sucked even more than before > This Era??

I have heard from an outside source that Tony Rivers has been dropping terrible ideas and so I hope this is not true.

Also I've heard about this "original Era" theme nonsense, and I am thinking that it is a really silly idea to have 3 servers built into one, unless by "original Era" theme you don't mean an Era with Eras?

It's really hard to have hope for Era, when pretty much every manager it's ever had has always been busy with school and stuff. I mean maybe it needs a manager who can put time into it? I'm not saying there's anything wrong with having a life, but I'm saying maybe if you lead a full active life, running a server isn't the thing for you? Era is getting developed at an exponentially slower rate than every other server, because for the most part it was inhabited by people with intellectual people with lives, so when it comes to picking a manager, it turns out to be a bit of a problem.

Right now Era has:
Smart people with little or no dev skills who have the ability to run a server

Idiots who have good dev skills and cannot run a server.

You people need to choose whether you want Era to be a MENSA friendly establishment, or a server that can be properly Dev'd in a reasonable amount of time.

Not 3 servers or whatever. I don't want to give away what Rick has planned, which is totally different and awesome, but it's not really anything like the Era we all know.

And about Tony? Not sure what you heard. I barely see the guy online.

I've heard many rumours also. I've not heard that one though.

Yeah.

It says that when you run out of gold time-- Enabling you to post only once or twice a day.

Speaking of which, diagram is about to run out for me and join the basket of accounts.

Now I'm going to have to wait a month or so to get a newer account on the forums.
What with their slow activation and all.

I remember the day before Jenn's reset.
Diaz, Raven, Cole and I were running around with 'Awesome Police' (GH Casino) tags on PKing with handguns; Telling everyone "PKing will never be the same again" after hearing there was going to be a gmap(Which I still blame a huge portion of the failure on).

They laughed at us back on the Era forums.
With my predictions, I can contend with Nostradamus.

I did orginally make a demo for era and I also made the PK arena that was used on Era before it went down..
I asked Rick if I would be able to use these things for the players while they make their new era, Rick declined.. Dunno why though..

It's all a part of his plan for world domination.

But in my opinion Era should open soon, more based on the original content, with improvements for the gangs.

That's good, here are a few doors I worked on awhile ago.

Bl0nkt · #**131** 09-10-2005, 10:38 PM

They're preeetty.

Let's just all log onto era and play pk-pm's

Ah I have checked, will probably keep the new doors because it would be too much work (scripts, tiling) to replace them again, and besides being a little bit big they look actually quite nice. (i mean the doors are not so important for the opening, can still be improved later)
But I remember that some of the old doors were animated when opening them, can add that may be?

Certain doors had some kind of animation, but not all.

Gang doors had HP. - join gangdoor;
Normal doors didn't have hp, a simple

NPC Code:

if (actiongrab){

  hide; 

  sleep2; 

  show;

}

Class was called 'door'.
The mine 'doors'/'warps' didn't have any kind of animation. I would prefer it, if you pressed the red button, the mine shaft went down into the mine, not just a simple setlevel2.
Inside levels used the normal link system, where as outside levels used the 'warp' class. [the warp class was there for protection, also so people couldn't enter inside levels while in a certain gani. -join warp]

Admins · #**141** 09-11-2005, 05:03 PM

Yes I of course know of the "warp" class, it's just warping though and not opening the door or doing some animation.

xAndrewx · #**142** 09-11-2005, 05:31 PM

Ah, I know what you mean. Yea, Jenn removed the animation feature.

Personally, I liked the old doors with the door class and links versus the warping class. It gave a more realistic feel of what a door is and it the smaller doors just look nicer, I think.

Jenn did the warp class for the reason that people were always lagging and modum tapping through doors...
With the warp class you can't do that and you had to just grab it and stuff.

(That is what I heard atleast)
Maybe there is a way around that now though lol

Yes, that was her reason for doing it. Her system is more secure but even after that was implemented there were problems with modem tappers. The only thing her system prevented was people from lagging through outside HP Doors that took you inside. I can only recall a few of them. (LC, BH, BB and Street Gang Doors)

xAndrewx · #**146** 09-11-2005, 06:29 PM

Stefan, you would need to edit all of the doors on Era, if you wanted some kind of animation.

I agree.

What's modem tapping?

Sarcasm at its finest.

What does the staff of Era honestly think of the work they have produced? Do they really think the material is worth playing or are they just bull****ting so we think we're going to get some nifty ****? I want to know.

No offense meant if it sounded so.

xAndrewx · #**153** 09-12-2005, 01:05 PM

Stefan is re-making Era. I have faith, so should you.

syphon_p2p · #**154** 09-12-2005, 02:07 PM

I have faith in Stefan, but not new era.

You obviously have no idea what you're talking about.
