General Discussion / Dungeons & Dragons (RolePlay) [Server]
« on: February 03, 2011, 01:17:57 AM »
This server brings D&D to blockland, I've created several classes with skills in each for players to use as they delve through an epic storyline of a group of adventurers. The classes are: Fighter (The strong high defense character) Rogue (The scout/ninja) and Wizard (The magic user with numerous skills).

If you don't know what D&D is, or don't know how to play, here's a quick guide:
The goal of D&D is to quest. The quests are laid out by your DM (dungeon master) whom you must listen to at all times. When you start a quest with your party, you'll be informed of the area, then it's up to you!

Generally when you enter any room or new area your rogue should go first to search/listen/peek/trapfind to see what's going on, this could prevent some serious injuries in your party.

When you enter a battle, initiative will be rolled to determine the order of attack. Generally, all things in D&D are based upon the rolling of a 20 sided or 6 sided die.

If you take massive damage and end up getting to 0 hp, you will be considered unconscious, being unable to move. Anything from -1 to -9 hp is dieing, and every few turns you will lose hp. Once you hit -10, you're dead!
Dead characters will lose all weapons and stats, though your party can take the dead player's items and give them back to the dead character if they create a new character (starting at level 1)

The maximum number of characters at the moment is 4, 1 player per separate class is REQUIRED. However, the 4th player may choose any class.

Note that D&D is all role play, you won't actually be seeing monsters and fighting them.

Example gameplay:
(DM): You enter the dark cavern.
(Rogue): I search the area.
(DM): It's too dark to see.
(Rogue): I use my torch and search.
Dice Roll (D20) - 13 (Due to a skill that the rogue has, 3* will be added to that roll.) *Depending on search skill lvl.
(DM): The cavern is dimly lit, you see the movement of small shady figures along the ceiling and a wooden door in the distance.
(Rogue): I listen.
Dice Roll (D20) - 17 (Due to a skill that the rogue has, 2* will be added to that roll.) *Depending on search skill lvl.
(DM): You hear a faint shrieking/chirping noise.
(Rogue): I think they're bats, follow me guys, lets try to sneak past them.
(Fighter): On my way.
(Wizard): I'm following.
(Rogue): Dice Roll (D20) - 14 (+3 for sneak skill)
(Wizard): Dice Roll (D20) - 11
(Fighter): Dice Roll (D20) - 11 (-3 for sneak skill)
(DM): The bat hears you and attacks!
Bat 1 dives at the Fighter!
(Bat): Dice Roll (D20) - 16
(DM): The bat hits the fighter and deals...
(Bat): Dice Roll (D6) - 2
(DM): 1 damage (This depends on the rolls along with armor defense, position of attack, etc, the DM will work it out)
(DM): Time to roll initiative.
(DM): Bat - Dice Roll (D20) - 10
(DM): Fighter - Dice Roll (D20) - 2
(DM): Rogue - Dice Roll (D20) - 12
(DM): Wizard - Dice Roll (D20) - 6
(DM): The attack order is: Rogue, Bat, Wizard, Fighter.
(Rogue): I pull out my bow and fire an arrow at the bat.
(Rogue): Dice Roll (D20) - 7
(DM): Your arrow missed.
(DM): The bat attacks the Rogue!
(Bat): Dice Roll (D20) - 18
(DM): The bat hits the Rogue and does...
(Bat): Dice Roll (D6) - 2
(DM): 2 damage!
(Wizard): I cast daze on the bat.
(Wizard): Dice Roll (D20) - 16
(DM): The bat is dazed! It falls to the ground near the Fighter.
(Fighter): I stab the bat with my sword!
(Fighter): Dice Roll (D20) - 20 (This is a critical hit, which does double damage!)
(Fighter): Dice Roll (D6) - 2
(DM): The bat takes 6 damage and is split in 2! A shiny object falls from it's mouth
(Rogue): I search the bat.
(DM): You find a shiny red gem!

That's basically what a simple beginning/battle scenario would look like.

Modification Help / Blender models crashing blockland
« on: January 04, 2011, 03:19:43 PM »
By some horrible mental block I've forgotten how to successfully put a model in game, yes I've reviewed the tutorials around the forums, and yes I've gone to other people for help.

All mesh and armatures are parented to Detail32, and Detail32 is parented to Shape.
When I try to spawn the item in mission editor it crashes the game, I've also tried putting it in a weapon form and it still crashed.

I suspect there's a problem with texturing, that section of DarkStar's tutorial is fairly vague. I unwrapped my mesh and gave each object a different color from a .png file, then turned on the texface button, and the Solid tex button.
In the render it appears colored after I've done this.

-edit
Also I've exported it and there were no errors or warnings.

Off Topic / My first chat with a mormon
« on: December 26, 2010, 10:49:57 AM »
Hope I don't offend anyone.


Welcome to Mormon.org chat.
A missionary will be with you shortly.
Me: Hmmm...

Please continue to hold for the next available missionary.
Me: *holding*
Agent [Jenae] is ready to assist you.
Me: Hello.
Jenae: Hello, sorry for the wait! how are you?
Me: I'm decent, happy holidays.
Me: I'm interested in mormonism, I have several questions.
Agent [Danielle] has joined the chat.
Me: Hello Danielle.
Me: I understand that in many cultures, mormonism is looked down upon as foolish due to certain beliefs, these of which I do not understand.
Danielle: Hello Zack.
Me: One of these is, magical underwear I believe.
Me: Could you clarify?
Danielle: Well I don't know about the magical underwear, where do you hear this from?
Me: Several places, videos, blogs, etc.
Me: Let's move on to the next question.
Me: I've heard several jokes involving mormons and magnets.
Me: I obviously have no idea why mormons and magnets are related in this way, explain?
Jenae: Well, they actually aren't related at all. Have you ever heard of trolling? Magnets is one of the many trolling techniques (or time-wasting techniques)
Me: Ahh, that explains it.
Me: Onto my next question.
Me: "We have imagined and supposed that God was God from all eternity. I will refute that idea, and take away the veil, so that you may see." (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, pg. 345)
Me: So the god you worship, wasn't always god?
Jenae: Good question, and this webpage explains more about the nature of God and our potential to become like Him.
Me: So each of you is striving to become like a god?
Me: Wouldn't you think your god might get mad about that? A bunch of wannabies out there trying to take his spot?
Danielle: Exactly! He is our Heavenly Father and wants us to become as He is. This is His plan for us.
Danielle: To enjoy all He does!
Me: In christianity, didn't Satan do that, in which he was cast into hell?
Me: And became the great evil in the world.
Danielle: Satan wanted all the Glory for himself
Me: So you want to share the glory with your god.
Me: What glory is to be shared with a supreme being?
Danielle: We glorify our God, we acknowldge Him in all our success
Me: Can a supreme being have any emotion, or feeling of glory?
Me: That's just giving him credit.
Me: But if your god cannot have a feeling or sensation of fufillment from your actions as a mormon then the whole thing is for null.
Me: Which brings another question.
Me: How can your god show that it's being pleased by your actions?
Jenae: Zack, 'our god' is also your God, and He has given us commandments tied to specific blessings when we choose to obey. That is merely one of many ways you can see God is pleased
Me: I'm atheist first of all.
Me: Secondly, in what form does he give you these "specific blessings"?
Me: Do you refer to them as, Miracles?
Danielle: We are blessed to see miracles daily!
Me: I'll take that as a yes.
Me: Then wouldn't you be taking advantage of mormonism for the soul purpous of aquiring such miracles?
Danielle: We know that miracles come to not just mormons but all of God's children! Zack what are some things that you are Thankful for in your life!
Danielle: ?
Me: Yes, but if they do, you're taking advantage of religion in general to recieve these miraculous benefits.
Danielle: God wants us to take advantage of the blessing He has waiting for us! We just have to ask.
Danielle: Just like any good parent wants all the best things for their children so too does God!
Me: Do you have any text from your holy books saying this? "God wants us to take advantage of the blessing he has waiting for us"
Danielle: Would you want the best for someone you loved dearly?
Danielle: Have you heard of the Bible and the Book of Mormon?
Me: You're personifying this god as a mother looking after an infant helping it grow and develop.
Me: I've heard of it.
Me: What is the goal of a mormon?
Danielle: Well Zack may I ask you what your goal is in life?
Me: It's a quest of knowledge.
Me: And it's very fufilling.
Jenae: That is our goal as well--progression, specifically through gaining knowledge, both of the things in the world around us, as well as of spiritual and everlasting truths.  It is the most fulfilling thing in the world when the two are put together
Me: Mixing knowledge with spirituality doesn't work.
Me: That's like mixing Physics with a video game.
Me: It's fun, and you can play it for a very long time, but it's not realy.
Me: Real*
Jenae: No, it's actually the only way that everything can make sense. Science does not, and will not have all of the answers until we recognize that God is the ultimate scientist, and through Him we have the ability to eternally progress.  My spiritual knowledge is more important to me than my college education, because it is what puts purpose and meaning behind gaining this knowledge, and a drive and direction in which I can use it to better the world around me
Me: You're using your "spiritual knowledge" as a meaning for life, yet you claim that science does not make sense, I believe you are not properly educated in the fields of science.
Me: Most people are religous or spiritual because they don't have a meaning for life, or just because that's what their parents taught them to believe in.
Me: In all reality, this early on education is a life-long block of scientifical knowledge because science and spirituallity conflict.
Me: And you choose spirituality over science because it makes more sense to you because it gives a straightforward meaning or goal, of life.
Jenae: No, science does in many ways make sense, and it is incredible the advancements that have been made throughout the years. But I would have you know that I Know God exists, and I have learned, studied, pondered and prayed to HIm to know if He truly has a plan for us, and I know that He does, and that plan will brings the greatest lasting joy.   Zack, we are not here to argue or prove you wrong, our purpose is to teach those who desire to know more about God and His plan. So if you would like to learn more then we would love to have missionaries in your own area come and teach you, otherwise we are afraid we cannot help you
Me: Nice chatting with you Jenae.

Gallery / Dungeon Generator
« on: December 18, 2010, 11:12:09 PM »
This is a new VCE based server I'm hosting that requires players to cooperate in 3-5(maybe more later on) player teams (parties) in a dungeon that randomly generates the monsters/traps/chests in each room.

The general map is laid out by the DMs Dungeon Masters. We first design the maps on a baseplate with color codes and keys planning out the fate of our dungeoneers. In later levels we will be adding rooms with
multiple floors, or just different types of rooms in general (taking reasonable requests).

As the party moves through the dungeon and open chests and boxes, each randomly spawns one loot item out of many, including: Trap disabling kits, Gold, Lockpicks, Keys, Weapons(1 per class), and Oil (explained later). In some dungeons there are even rooms stockpiled with special chests that grant each player an item for their class! Due to an update, the server is hosted on destruct (debating on a permanent change) and each room has a lamp the party must light using oil, which is either found in chests, received at the start, or purchased. This dark lighting gives the dungeon a much better look, and interesting gameplay twist; so when you do play, ask to try out a dark map.

The party's goal is to get to the boss without losing all of their members along the way!

It's a very fun game if you have a few friends to play it with, so if you'd like to organize a party then post the players and their classes (classes can be changed in-game) in this form:

PlayerName (Class)
PlayerName (Class)
PlayerName (Class)

Etc. Depending on how many players are in your party.

Low Level(1+) Classes:
Archer, Fighter, Mage

High Level(10+) Classes:
Rogue, Troll

There is a maximum of 3 players on maps 1-9 and 4-5 players on 10+. You may list more than 3-5 characters if there is a possibility of a party member not being present and the rest of the party wanting to play. On the otherhand, if you do not have enough players to form a party, I (or any admins) can substitute as 1 of your party members, just be sure to add that to the form.
YOU MUST HAVE AT LEAST 3 PLAYERS IN YOUR PARTY

Due to my server's history of horrible latency, I've purchased a new computer and greatly reduced the brickcount to improve gameplay, so have fun.

Updates:
-Added Exp command
-Added new boss room
-Fixed numerous chat bugs
-Added lamps to rooms
-Separated Exp into 3 classes
-Balanced out weapons in classes
-You now get Exp for picking locks or disabling traps

Credits:
J_MASTER - Game Concept, Eventing
Pictojo - Mapping Concept
All of my other admins - Map building assistance

Parties:
J_MASTER (Archer)
Pictojo (Fighter)
Aml (Mage)

Raliden(Mage)
Keonesan(Archer)
[Admin](Warrior)

Hobojojo = Archer
X-treme Kiwi = Mage
Dr. Pwnage = Warrior

Help / "Player is in a different minigame"
« on: June 10, 2010, 05:54:08 PM »
I've disabled all of my add-ons except for the default ones, when I wand another player (or bot) a message in center print comes up "Player is in a different minigame". The players also don't receive any chat or center/bottom print messages via minigame. Despite all of this, players still spawn at specified spawn points, and any weapons or player-type changed in the minigame menu is changed for all players in the minigame.

I've tried this with a default minigame also.
