XDOOM

yes you can Like the jackpot counter, you can make a credit counter. It will show the current amount of credits the user has ... we can put that below the corner thing that shows bounty/freq/flags And if you wish to show the credits of another user then we can do !showcreds username

Just a ban from a forum you'll never go to ever again ...

We can always set it up such that you can view other point statuses And if you are affected by somebody's buying ... the bot will tell you who did it... Ie "Your Engine was shut down by XDOOM using his credits" I just saw kick me's post (we posted at the same time) and I agree with him .... being the all-mighty point leader is key. Whats the point of winning a flag game if you are gona waste all your points winning the next one?

More like newbish

Yeah but something really unique could make the zone more appealing .... these days tiles like this you dont see anywhere anymore

While you are at it ... just advertise the zone in every other zone forum

Hmmm hmmmmm This is definately going to need a lot of careful thought and testing to do it right.

Oh allow it to be an option for the bot, so you can see the more details stats.... !lastflagstats command

I'm looking to upgrade the tileset ... but I have had no luck finding anybody with good GFX knowledge to do something that would be in the line of zones like EG and Red Star ... I think a modern tileset is key in gaining interest in the zone. Any suggestions?

Thats right ...

SO, yeah, checking the pop graphs last night ... we hit 10 .... except it took me then another 30 min to realize that #10 was the bot ... lol

It was just an idea .... we can test in a private arena ... or maybe for some event or something ...

I dont know about this one ... might be too confusing ... would be nicer to have a tripe-jackpot event every now and then

Yeah, it rubbed on to me more and more I thought about it SOS. This could really make the flagging even more fun because it adds that extra element .. you can really screw around with people/teams.

Hey ... credits can help aid the flag game though ... thing about doing an energy reduction on all people not on your team ... you could then blow everybody away

Lucky !@#$%^&* ... i'm going to bed at like 8pm tonight ... I had the worst sleep of my life yesterday

A new idea I just thought about: What if we added "shortcuts" in the map, which allowed you from an area near center, spawn to the entrances of bases on the map. This would make it faster to get to bases if all of your players were killed, and keep pressure on the flag carriers. Just a thought

Hey, I started a new topic about the credit system, this is an idea kick me put in a different topic. I have an idea for a bot. Have another 24/7 bot, but with a credit feature for buying stuff, ya know. Have like, per kill, 10 creds and per death, 2 creds, and 40 creds per goal or something in that nature. It will possibly encourage other players to play the zone more often, wanting to buy items (such as super, points, w/e) or for simply bragging rights. For events, make them worth credits rather than points, making buyables more flexable. Some people don't really care about the points, so instead, they could buy super, or shields (if possible), rockets, OR buy the points from the credits system. You should increase the cost of points for each item in the ?buy menu, or get rid of it all togethor and stick with the credit idea. IMHO, I prefer the credit/buyable bot idea. I think credits earned should be based on flagging (maybe you earn points based on jackpot size, and the periodic rewards thats comes from owned flags). As well, bonus credits are earned when you are at the top of certain statistics (wins, points, ratio, etc) The credits can be used for certain things .... some examples that i've heard are super rockets bursts global engine shutdown global energy loss sheilds downgrades (this may not work in deva ... as the ships are not really downgradable ... it'll cause weird problems) bricks Please post any comments about this

Nice

Yeah ... pretty much .... i'll be in the zone after work ... and after I shower.

Excellent

The periodic message is for the speccers ... but this could coincide with the periodic messages Plus one day when we get on SSC ... the periodic messages will be gone.

Thats right ... bot it up. What are the server lag settings set to right now anyways?

Oh, here is another idea: Every time the jackpot hits a certain amount (like 1 million) ... the digits flash and/or change color

And I swear I saw a lagbot .ini file in the files that Default+ sent me that had the option to warn warn/spec warn/spec/kick
