Playerworld affiliation?

konidias · #1 05-02-2002, 03:56 AM

Okay first off, this is about the following new command:

with the script command 'serverwarp <world>;'
you can warp the player to another server; the
'world' parameter must be the internal name of the
server (for classic it is main, for Graal2001 newmain,
Andor bravo, N-Pulse npulse, ...

Now I'm wondering.. maybe certain playerworlds could "affiliate" with others.. like for example, if your pw has a lobby of some sort, you could have a "portal" to other playerworlds, and they could have a "portal" back. So like for example:

On Playerworld A, there is a lobby, and in the lobby (or online start whatever) there is a little warp door. There is a sign before it that says "This is a warp to the playerworld <name>. We have affiliated with them because they have a very nice server, so walk through the door to check them out." The player walks through the portal, and is sent to "Playerworld B". Then Playerworld B also has a portal, going back to Playerworld A.

It's not much, but I think it might help to get new visitors to pw's where they normally wouldn't think about going.

Maybe there should be a server dedicated to having portals for all the pws, kinda like the serverlist, but instead, there is a bunch of information and stuff for each pw on it.. like maybe a sample level of the playerworld, and some details on some of the good stuff it has.

Just a thought.

Heh i think that is a great idear D does that really work?

Thing is, you can't decide where they end up on the other server because you could add a level on your server and use it to warp somewhere you shouldn't.

If you had a lobby like Kondias said im sure the pw owner could tell you the x,y where the player should go...

No, the person ends up in the first level of the playerworld they'd end up in if they had connected via server list.

If you could decide where they'd warp, then things would get REALLY messy. What would stop corrupt people from putting in something that warps players to 'staffweapons.graal'? Or to the end of quests so they can get fullhearts?

wow. that's quite a unique command.

although, i'm pretty sure it'll come along with a package. i'll bet that it includes suffering, annoyance, anger...

Yeah wait til someone hacks level ftp or something and changes onlinestartlocal to add an npc that will auto warp them to another server... Could be confusion I think

That's what faheria does now (but they didn't get 'hacked')

Falcor · #14 05-05-2002, 04:36 AM

Yes Faheria does serverwarp to G2k1

Wanna know the reason?

"Can I be staff"
"Do you need GPs"
"Can I be ET"
"Hi... This server is cool can i be an admin?"
"Do you need any RC positions?"
"Can i have RC?"
"Hi, will there be bomy pets on this server?"
"This server sucks!"
"Uhm I know why there is no one on here, there are only 9 levels!"
"Why is there only 9 levels?"
"I could make a wolrd better than this, you suck"
"Could you lend me 30 gralat?"

Oh and lots more.
