Battle Ships

Admins · #1 09-01-2002, 02:00 PM

The pirate ships have been released!

There are now two places on the main island where you can
build ships, for one ship you need ~9 logs from trees, convert
them to boards in the lumber mills, and place them at the ship
building places.

The ships can shoot with cannons, can be controled by
captains, and have a lookout. When they are shoot by bombs
then they can be destroyed.

There is a bug where you sometimes don't see a ship from
someone else (it looks like they are flying), I will try to fix it
tomorrow. Repairing will be added too (not sure if tomorrow)

See the screenshot of the day on the website so get some impression of the new ships

Yves:

Maybe you could add it so if a few people put their ships together, they become a bigger and stronger ship, but can only be used if there are 3 or more people on it. Also. Unban my Valder account now please, it's been banned for 5 weeks now. Forums and Game.

Not a stronger ship, But a fleet
for eg:

3 join,
Choose 1 person to contorl all 3, then you just fire at people.

Battleships would be fun, however... When people are roleplaying, sombody gets on and takes controll, goes to the dock, lets the enemy on...

Update:
When the ship is in a dock then you can repair it by pressing A while being on the ship. You need boards to do that.

It's playing a new music track when you are on a ship, it is contained in the new music pack Graal2002Music3, use the setup.exe to download it.

What about guns, You should get like 250 Bombs, then have to pay or trade steel/iron for some, and Steel take off more HP of the boats than a Iron one, or the other way around!?

Edit: Cannons not guns.

konidias · #8 09-02-2002, 01:26 AM

They are ultra laggy...

The boats stop and go every second, and people steal boats when they get completed. It's not really organized.

Brad · #9 09-02-2002, 02:01 AM

I was the only one on my boat and I killed a boat with 5 crew members

Also, what about being able to name your boat and it appears on the side

Boat Nameing is planned

MasterNuke · #12 09-02-2002, 07:27 AM

48 boards to build 1 ship

Aestus · #13 09-02-2002, 09:31 AM

:O

DragonX is threatening to reset for board stealing. I'm hoping it's an idle threat, because if not, it's a gross overstepping of his authority.

You can't reset people if they haven't broken any rules, damnit.

_0AfTeRsHoCk0_ · #14 09-02-2002, 10:09 AM

I like the boats, even though they are kind of laggy, and they may have problems when first created, I just doin't like it how you got goons from different factions just sitting at the creating place ready to blow up any new ship created, so they can monopolize all naval resources.

Stealing boards is scamming, and scamming is legal. So DX, if you do rest someone, I'm going to call you Dragqueen Hypocrite.

Yea, but being scammed of 41 boards is different then 5 plat.

feivel · #18 09-03-2002, 09:02 PM

No if people want to steal then you can do something about it!
either find someone to pick up the boards from the other side or find a way to make it so if people want roleplay as thiefs and scammers then you find a way to roleplay as vigilante's
except the only problem is thiefs and scammers have the advantage because since everyone has peaceful on,
its impossible to attack them and kill them.

Crovax_Dark_Lord · #19 09-03-2002, 09:39 PM

That is the biggest problem, make it so that /peaceful is off when on boats, and that we can board others, that way we can have deck fights, finally, when someone dies, don't put them come back onto the boat, its stupid, like 2k1 re-spawning all over again.

feivel · #20 09-04-2002, 05:20 AM

Hmm i think peaceful should be changed so that you can be attacked and killed, you just dont lose exp or anything.

Ghost Pirate · #21 09-04-2002, 06:17 AM

Nice idea Dashio but let me improve the idea

1: Peaceful should be removed after 1 of 3 reasons
1) Player removes peaceful
2) Player levels up to level 2 and it removes (or maybe 3)
3)Player attacks another player a warning pops up and if continues peaceful will be gone

As for dying
Death by Monsters = Lost in stats and exp
Death by Players = No Lose other than your pride and maybe a body part (Or if you want some lost make them lose some unbagged unwielded item

I like that, especially the first part. Newbies should be invulnerable until they attack another player, or level up to a point where they can at least have some chance against attackers. Peaceful should be disabled for all other players.

Jourdan · #23 09-04-2002, 06:45 AM

I like it except for the part where you lose items x.x

Take peaceful away, but don't let people lose stats or exp when killed by a person.

feivel · #24 09-04-2002, 08:22 AM

You shoudl lose certain items,
because when you die or n graal's case
you are knocked out for a long time (kind of like being wasted in gta3) then technically people could take stuff from your body,
also if someone scams you, you want to kill them to get whatever they stole from you, back.

LiL_NightFall · #25 09-04-2002, 09:34 AM

Loss of items at death will only result in MORE griefing. We already have enough griefers on 2k2(Porky, Brad, Eric...etc. No offense

).

Pkers should not gain anything from killing, also I don't think peaceful should be disabled, BUT if a player in peace mode uses his/her weapon on another player then it should shut off.

Peace mode needs a timer so you can't turn it back on when someone is killing you. It should be just like unstick me, and if you are hit then it's timer restarts. It should take like 30 seconds of standing still to turn it back on.

Instead of having it taken away if you swing a sword... have it where if you say /peaceful it goes for ever.

Because there will be someone who will run in front of you when you kill that mushroom and then he'll PK you.

boats seem like so much fun :]
