XDOOM Posted August 18, 2006 Report Posted August 18, 2006 Hey I thought of a new buyable item that we may be able to create ... especially for the ASSS development !buy square This creates a square of bricks around your ship for a period of a brick. Ofcourse it would be easy to get repped out of it .. but I think that might be fun in the center ... turn on the brick, make repels matrix mode ... something like that. or This creates a square of bricks around the nearest oppenent ship ... that would be funny ... do that turn on antiwarp so they can't warp ... haha. Another buyable item !buy bubble This creates a bubble around your ship ... while the bubble is activated you can not recieve ANY damage from anything .. however ... as you are attacked, the bubble will eventually burst. We would make is resilient enough that it could protect you from several bomb attacks (like give it 3x more energy than a typical ship). We could even add a graphic that tells you the % left of the bubble. I dunno how possible this is ... but just another idea ..
»T-Man Posted August 19, 2006 Report Posted August 19, 2006 LOL, that would be very entertaining to have.. lets do it! if possible. heh.
Hal Posted August 19, 2006 Report Posted August 19, 2006 Sure, but instead of the bubble, why just not shields?
Synister Posted August 19, 2006 Report Posted August 19, 2006 Those are awesome.. cant wait to see it in action lol
XDOOM Posted August 19, 2006 Author Report Posted August 19, 2006 Sure, but instead of the bubble, why just not shields? Cause, who wants to have shields when you can have a bubble like the bubble boy
kick me!! Posted August 20, 2006 Report Posted August 20, 2006 Good point - But how are you going to do it? Is it even possible?
Hal Posted August 20, 2006 Report Posted August 20, 2006 The square won't be a problem. The bubble would be a bit harder, though it is possible
Hal Posted August 20, 2006 Report Posted August 20, 2006 I also doubt if the bubble would be fun/fair
XDOOM Posted August 21, 2006 Author Report Posted August 21, 2006 I also doubt if the bubble would be fun/fair I think it would be fun ... we dont let flaggers use it ... once you change a ship its gone ... we could even set it up such that if you ARE in the bubble, firing your own weapons decreases the energy of the bubble (but not nearly as much as getting hit by weapons)
XDOOM Posted August 22, 2006 Author Report Posted August 22, 2006 Maybe a bubble should affect your speed/rotation as well, making your ship more sluggish. Thats another way of evening it up a little bit. It would also be friggen expensive.
Hal Posted August 22, 2006 Report Posted August 22, 2006 Well still, I think it would confuse noobs, and I think you want to draw a lvz around the player, which will also look quite ugly when he's moving a lot
XDOOM Posted August 23, 2006 Author Report Posted August 23, 2006 Well still, I think it would confuse noobs, and I think you want to draw a lvz around the player, which will also look quite ugly when he's moving a lot I think anybody will figure it out ... everybody seems to eventualy figure out that !buy bacon doesn't do anything. Plus if we give it a good description I doubt there would be an issue. I would like to see, instead of a visible bubble, a bar or percentage that shows how much of your bubble is left. It can be placed right beside the ship, under the player's name ... or it could be beside or below the energy bar of the ship.
Hakaku Posted August 23, 2006 Report Posted August 23, 2006 Maybe we should make the !buy bacon do something actually, such as display a huge bacon picture from a .lvz for a set amount of time, like a temporary blindness weapon. Just a thought lol I don't really understand the bubble shield thingy, but if you could do it and show me how its different from regular shields, then I think it'd be an interesting idea to have.
XDOOM Posted August 23, 2006 Author Report Posted August 23, 2006 I've never seen the actual shields greenable do anything ... you still get damage taken.
Synister Posted August 23, 2006 Report Posted August 23, 2006 I think thats a problem in the settings..
XDOOM Posted August 23, 2006 Author Report Posted August 23, 2006 I think thats a problem in the settings.. I dont think there are settings for the !@#$%^&* thing
»T-Man Posted August 23, 2006 Report Posted August 23, 2006 Eh, I know there's settings on how the shields are, but dunno where. .been a long time since i've had to deal with settings.
XDOOM Posted August 23, 2006 Author Report Posted August 23, 2006 Eh, I know there's settings on how the shields are, but dunno where. .been a long time since i've had to deal with settings. Same, I made deva's settings in 2000/2001 .... barely edited them since ...
N_R Posted August 23, 2006 Report Posted August 23, 2006 I'm not sure whether or not you can adjust the settings for shields. But what I do know is that a player with shields takes less damage when hit by enemy fire. However, it is damage none the less. ~NR
Hexeen Posted October 9, 2006 Report Posted October 9, 2006 Repurst - Rep cross burst, useful for basing, you rep your foes away while giving them a damaging burst, just a thought..
