Preview of the flying technology

unixmad · #1 10-06-2006, 08:03 PM

In the forthcoming weeks we will introduce what i think could be a revolution for graal: the flying technology.

All servers will be able to use the technology very easily and make any number of flying objects (plane, spaceship ...)
The use of the flying objects will be reserved to gold and vip.

You can view 2 videos demonstrating the flying technology on graal kingdoms:

Video 1 highres
Video 1 lowres

Video 2 highres
Video 2 lowres

It will be interesting to get your feedback and ideas, thread is open.

Woaaas awesome!

This looks AWESOME! I saw them flying around... they moved so quick, it was really cool.

Can't wait to give it a try myself

Ninja Edit: Would be awesome if there was a staff tool which allowed you to zoom out, double click a point on the map, and LEAP there!

Googi is going to die when he sees this.

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.)

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.)

I was being facetious.

Everything is great except this line.

Does that mean that you can only fly on Classic servers if you have Gold/VIP? If so I think this is a bad idea. It reminds me of those times when classic servers weren't allowed to use custom ganis or lights.

Edit: I'd like to stress that I'm very impressed by those videos, I just have a problem with the "gold/vip only" thing...

Also does the shadow get bigger as you go higher? If not it would be neat for it to do so. Along with falling objects getting smaller shadows as they get closer to the ground.
