Killing Spree Module

[Siaon]

I've written a killing spree module for HS, it tested fine, just doing one last check if everyone appreciates such a thing(And the end descision is obviously still Doc's, but I think he'll like it).

 

I'm currently adding more advanced features, but the current module is in good shape so it's ready for when Doc gets back tomorrow(It's in his mail, so post some messages of how bad you want it)

sounds kewl

[Animate Dreams]

That's cool, I guess...do you get prizes? The bad thing is, it would encourage people to go on super/shield sprees a bit more often...no one likes those.

[Siaon]

You have to keep in mind that the super/shield flood you've been seeing lately is still an after effect of charcoal(and perhaps Ed) abuse, it won't happen that often.

 

Plus I've already modified the module in a few ways:

 

1) It now uses the same message system as Smong: In the config file you can set a message for a certain amount of kills, it will only display a message on that amount of kills and will no longer spam after a certain treshold.

 

2) I've added an option to disable multiple killing sprees, as in only the HIGHEST killing spreeing player will get broadcasted.

 

3) The new system will reward having a high bounty, so there really won't be much need to give rewards inside the module(At least this is what I want, Doc can still object)

[Dr Brain]

I already had someone working on a spree module. I wish you would talk to me sometimes...

[Dav]

lol lack of communication.

 

Now somone will have to be rejected :s

[FunkmastaD]

or parts of both could be used to make 1 really good module

[Dav]

could, but that will involve alot of messing about with them. I suppose we will just have to see.

[FunkmastaD]

Which ever one works the best we keep and the other's is sacrificed to the gods

[Dav]

Spear us, take this ASSS spree module as our gift!

[Siaon]

Ah well, mine is still the better one I'll probably finish it up tonight, anyway Doc's idea of Hyperspace is becoming increasingly different of mine, and his one goes, and since I'm not a slave I don't do things to specifications, I just do them.

 

Maybe I should go make a new HS zone But there's more time for that when the new HS goes live, for all I know I'll like it

 

But in the meantime I'll just keep working on CF and more HS modules(Even if they won't even be looked at, they're always nice to learn from plus they might come in handy in the future)

This is to brain and siaon, I think you both need to communicate much better and Brain I think that you need to make an outline of what you want done and when you want it done, so that Siaon can make modules and have the features in it that you want and not something that he came up with, or have both together making i even better.

 

I have heard alot of ideas from Siaon, and I think that the zone would benefit alot from some of his ideas. I could not give a crap if your coding is different then each others, If it helps the zone then do it.

[Dr Brain]

It has already been resolved, quigy. Siaon has no interest in working on things to my specifications (which is fine, he just can't help).

[Siaon]

That's an odd way of putting it, I simply have no need to program excactly what you want, you're not paying me Instead I have ideas of my own and like to show them off too, I'm here because I like the zone and want it to be good, always have been.

 

Anyway, was talking about how I wouldn't simply do as he said it would have to be done and that he could get a code slave for that ^^ To which he replied by asking if he should count me out from the hs modules then

 

Obviously I had no choice on how to answer that

 

Ah well, learned a great deal, had fun, I'll live, plenty of other things to do anyway, plus it's not stopping me

[Dr Brain]

Yah. Thats basicly what I said.

 

You aren't directly helping me, but thats not nessacarily a bad thing, because now I don't have to explain everything to you (and have you ignore it anyway ).

[Dr Brain]

[Siaon]

Overall you're a really nice guy, but there's just a few points at which I'm at major disagreement with you:

 

I'm not directly doing things for you, helping you involves you doing things too, and you've been really absent, just once we had an appointment set to go work at things together but you couldnt come in the end :/

 

Just don't want to put time in things that have a good chance of not being used at all, plus I like to have my creativity to be put to use too and you just wont let me do that, you just restrict me in what I consider my capabilities and I feel that as me being used.

 

Also getting back on that spree module, I made it as a spontaneous act of kindness to several people asking me in the zone for it, you're saying I don't communicate with you? For one you weren't there, and for two, since you already had someone working on one, who hadn't communicated there, you could have told me >.<

[FunkmastaD]

I agree with quigy here that even spontaneous acts of kindness still could have been checked up to see if Brain or anyone else had already started so that you could either help them out or combine ideas

And Brain you might want to keep your staff informed about stuff like this so another incident doesn't happen again

Just make a post listing the jobs people are working on currently so that two people don't accidently repeat this

[Siaon]

Doc's a nice guy and this isn't a democracy(So he keeps shouting to me ), he's also really busy, he tries too, but it just doesn't always get to pass I'm not really trying to attack him on that Keep that in mind!

[Dr Brain]

Enough stuff goes on in the zone that I can't keep everyone upto date about everything. It's just the sad truth. I had no idea siaon was interested in persuing this, so I never bothered to say anything.

 

Siaon and I don't work very well together, so maybe this isn't a bad thing

 

And like siaon said, I'm really busy.

[Siaon]

Another thing I don't agree on

 

You just set a detailed end-goal, instead of a general one, allowing no interferance, I simply work bad in such a frame since I want a say in things I do.

[JoWie]

since when is everyone putting a smiley after every sentence??

[Animate Dreams]

Hmm, I believe it's called a fad. Don't read too much into it. >_<
