[Silver Knight]

Ok the name has not been confirmed.. still need idea's... yey.... Here is a chatlog between me and Z (Lots of idea's on my part)

|.|James|.| ? Silver Knight? ? - 17 Woot says:
Rp maps consit of city system like places
|.|James|.| ? Silver Knight? ? - 17 Woot says:
Such as a place for the police department, Appartment and houses, shops (should be empty or have a basic theme) secret places (everyone loves that) some kind of mafia place
|.|James|.| ? Silver Knight? ? - 17 Woot says:
The rest of the stuff is optional
|.|James|.| ? Silver Knight? ? - 17 Woot says:
oh and also a mayors building.. like a city hall
Zmwivd says:
okay
Zmwivd says:
sounds easy
|.|James|.| ? Silver Knight? ? - 17 Woot says:
So are you up to the task?
|.|James|.| ? Silver Knight? ? - 17 Woot says:
There are so many diffrent themes you could do
|.|James|.| ? Silver Knight? ? - 17 Woot says:
I like the idea of a Spaceship kind of rp
Zmwivd says:
Sounds like fun, Send me information on ideas, Email addresses for other people in the tema and other stuff you think may be eeded. And if you convinse me that you all wont leave me to do all the work then I'm in.
|.|James|.| ? Silver Knight? ? - 17 Woot says:
Like Captains deck, Security and Jail, crew living quaters, cafe etc
|.|James|.| ? Silver Knight? ? - 17 Woot says:
Well i have not done mapping for a very long time
|.|James|.| ? Silver Knight? ? - 17 Woot says:
Rory will help you map (lawnmower)
|.|James|.| ? Silver Knight? ? - 17 Woot says:
I can only provide idea's hosting, a community to disscuss it
|.|James|.| ? Silver Knight? ? - 17 Woot says:
etc
|.|James|.| ? Silver Knight? ? - 17 Woot says:
I can draw up a layout of how i think it should look like
|.|James|.| ? Silver Knight? ? - 17 Woot says:
Would that help?
Zmwivd says:
yeah
Zmwivd says:
just 2 mappers sounds better anyway
|.|James|.| ? Silver Knight? ? - 17 Woot says:
Shame, rory just went offline
Zmwivd says:
Less confuseing as there is only 1 map
|.|James|.| ? Silver Knight? ? - 17 Woot says:
Aye
Zmwivd says:
lol
|.|James|.| ? Silver Knight? ? - 17 Woot says:
A big map hopefully
|.|James|.| ? Silver Knight? ? - 17 Woot says:
Im thinking like 5 storys high, spaceship with a small planet you can visit
|.|James|.| ? Silver Knight? ? - 17 Woot says:
i have to do all the lua coding once the maps done of course
|.|James|.| ? Silver Knight? ? - 17 Woot says:
yey me -.-
|.|James|.| ? Silver Knight? ? - 17 Woot says:
Each deck has diffrent features
Zmwivd says:
Okay, well, get the forum and stuff set up and send me an Email with rorys address in it. Then as long as Rory doesnt abandn this I'll stick to it as well.
|.|James|.| ? Silver Knight? ? - 17 Woot says:
Top deck, admin, The Ship Commander
|.|James|.| ? Silver Knight? ? - 17 Woot says:
we can also have maintinence decks
Zmwivd says:
easy
Zmwivd says:
the whole point in the map is to provide a world were players can make up their own storys and build stuff right?
|.|James|.| ? Silver Knight? ? - 17 Woot says:
Someone on the facepunch forums has been desiging a starship troopers playerm model which is awesome
|.|James|.| ? Silver Knight? ? - 17 Woot says:
Aye
|.|James|.| ? Silver Knight? ? - 17 Woot says:
Thats what rp is
|.|James|.| ? Silver Knight? ? - 17 Woot says:
"RolePlay
|.|James|.| ? Silver Knight? ? - 17 Woot says:
"
Zmwivd says:
And the map never changes?
|.|James|.| ? Silver Knight? ? - 17 Woot says:
Nope
|.|James|.| ? Silver Knight? ? - 17 Woot says:
We can add more on or something overtime
Zmwivd says:
I'm likeing this more and more
|.|James|.| ? Silver Knight? ? - 17 Woot says:
Each person can be assigned a diffrent task
|.|James|.| ? Silver Knight? ? - 17 Woot says:
Like Guard (makes sure everything is running smoothly)
Zmwivd says:
And the goal is to build the best map of this kind out there yes?
Zmwivd says:
or are we just hopeing to do a good one instead of the 'best'
|.|James|.| ? Silver Knight? ? - 17 Woot says:
Maitinence (Repairs stuff, can buy a robot to help)
|.|James|.| ? Silver Knight? ? - 17 Woot says:
Commander (1 player only)
|.|James|.| ? Silver Knight? ? - 17 Woot says:
The possibiltys are endless, mutinys can kick the commander if overall vote is secure and the players manage to take the ship over
Zmwivd says:
Is there entities and stuff in hammer with this so that I can make some doors only open for the commander?
|.|James|.| ? Silver Knight? ? - 17 Woot says:
That can all be done in lua
|.|James|.| ? Silver Knight? ? - 17 Woot says:
Lua code is awesome
Zmwivd says:
you know it?
|.|James|.| ? Silver Knight? ? - 17 Woot says:
All doors can be assigned stuff (owner)
|.|James|.| ? Silver Knight? ? - 17 Woot says:
Theres no need to do it in hammer
|.|James|.| ? Silver Knight? ? - 17 Woot says:
It's all done in Lua code
|.|James|.| ? Silver Knight? ? - 17 Woot says:
That makes your job hella easyer
Zmwivd says:
not really
|.|James|.| ? Silver Knight? ? - 17 Woot says:
It does
Zmwivd says:
I have an idea that will crash the map if 2 people try useing it at once
|.|James|.| ? Silver Knight? ? - 17 Woot says:
Huh?
|.|James|.| ? Silver Knight? ? - 17 Woot says:
I doubt it
Zmwivd says:
Ohh no wait, I have a way of blocking that if I use the idea, nvm
|.|James|.| ? Silver Knight? ? - 17 Woot says:
Don't worry about classes, door configs etc that can all be done in lua
|.|James|.| ? Silver Knight? ? - 17 Woot says:
You design the doors to open and stuff
Zmwivd says:
ok
|.|James|.| ? Silver Knight? ? - 17 Woot says:
but it will all be done in lua once its done (god i love lua)
|.|James|.| ? Silver Knight? ? - 17 Woot says:
The skybox should be a stary kind of thing for the windows of the ship
|.|James|.| ? Silver Knight? ? - 17 Woot says:
Dam im definety copying all this int othe forums
Zmwivd says:
okay sounds good, I got a few ideas already that would be fun for multiple players.

Class Ranks in Detail

The Commander
Level of Access: 10

Chief Of Staff
Level Of Access: 8
Description: The commander has a chief of staff who controls the marines, he can lock doors and access some command options but his level of access is not as high as the cmds.

Marine
Level Of Access: Varies, Default is 4 (Chief Of Staff gives them Tasks)
Description: The Marines are the soldiers and guards of the ship, they control check points, guard the commander, control the prison and barracks. They can be ordered by the Chief Of Staff to go on missions or to check points.

Events

Mutiny

Players can vote for mutiny to get rid of the commander, which starts a kind of minigame where the people have have mutineered have to capture the commander (he goes to jail) and control the cmd room. To start a Mutiny, the Union Boss has to declare it, if 75% of the players on the server vote yes, the minigame will beguin.

All Mutineers start in the Undership, Everyone else starts in the Operations, to protect he commander, control points such as the Armoury, Maintenance and operations are all essential to this, The Armoury contains Guns, Ammo and items which are essential for fighting any war. Maintenance holds the power, life support and various other facilitys needed to run the ship, Power can be removed from any level of the ship, which makes sentrys, camera's and doors useless.


Alien Infection (Brute Force)
Brute force, aliens kill humans... each human = turned into a alien

Alien Infection (Silent Assassin)
Silent assassin = one alien is host, focuses on sabatage, secretly killing, avoiding detection

Asteroid Field
Sometimes the ship can pass into not so pleasant area's which can knock out power and damage facilitys.

i like!    I'll get sdk working asap

[Silver Knight]

Yeah well its still in development, awaiting the map to start working on the LUA

[Silver Knight]

Basic Commander layout with unique features and textures that should be used

[Communist Panda]

Yeah..It's been a while, is this still being thought about?

Anyways, I was thinking of making groups such as:

Marines - Already Made
Engineers - Maintenence
Stranded - Planet survivors
Planet Army - An army on the planet against the ship's army?

[Silver Knight]

More of AVP.

[Creeding]

How about there are two ships, one human one alien(possibly 2 human factions waring and an alien race stuck in the middle of it all on the planet) both fighting over the planets resources. raids on each others ship/planet baces to take there resources or hinder there resource
development.

resource is created over time by the baces on the planet,meaning once the storage is filled up on the planet a suppy ship will have to go pick it up and bring it back to the mother ship possibly sending a ship to hi jack the suppys,ofc you could attack the enemies bace get inside and shut it down and even takeing some of the resource from storage (haveing to get past defences ofc),therefor the orbiting ship will send down a group of troops to start it up again and defend the bace till reinforcements come.
resources are used for say improvening facilities and liveing conditions, weapon tech,defences ect.
all this surrounded in a RP shell...wow sounds good ay'? i call it Rp_Starships but i think it mite it to much...or is it? Also your probebly to far into the project to start agen

[Cutch]

Creeding's idea is excellent, but it has a few flaws, seeing as that the 2 human factions would probably ceasefire to destroy the alien race, as demonstrated in several books, such as "Ender's Game." Also, how will we be able to raid another ship and STILL preserve the resources? So far I have no ideas how we can go into another ship in orbit without it being ripped apart from the air being torn out, if you tried blowing a hole in it, you could risk hitting the resources, which would be even worse if they were flammable.

Airlocks, Hangars, Single-use "Ripper Pods" etc. etc.
Grow some Imagination.

I was just highlighting some problems so people could bring up ideas.
