Author Topic: Recreating Old Servers?  (Read 1281 times)

what's that.
http://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=83296.0 One of the first ever city rpgs. This one was not terrible like modern ones though. The design of this influenced the design of future ones in up in-till now directly and indirectly.

I have a save of one of the ships used on Wizzard's server.
I might will make a remake soon.
I can record a soundtrack for the spawns if I can get a mic to work with my guitar, if you'd like.

Regarding Heed's TDM concept:

Quote from: Sleven
GSF Terrain is for nothing good except for vehicle TDMs and vehicle TDMs are not the optional TDM. They tend to end with just "long vehicle transportation and death on arrival" stuff. The majority of the combat will still take place outside of the vehicle and thus vehicles are just a secondary matter when it comes down to the actual TDM. Consequently the TDM no longer actually can be called a vehicle TDM as the vehicles are just dead time.



Though you could use a lot of bricks, you would need almost an endless amount of space for a dogfight TDM. There simply wouldn't be enough space even when you reach brick limit.

who hosts "vehicle TDMs"?

Someone using a concept dependent on the usage of vehicles. You, in this case.

The slopes TDM is dependent on vehicles for transportation, but i've never called it a vehicle TDM.

I don't see whats wrong with vehicles being used as a means to traverse areas quicker. There were still teleports to the bases and mini-bases. "death on arrival" is a situation that occurs when players are bad at controlling vehicles. "death on arrival" can be the case in any TDM.
The majority of the combat will still take place outside of the vehicle and thus vehicles are just a secondary matter when it comes down to the actual TDM.
I don't see what the problem with this is. The vehicles ARE a secondary matter to the combat. I've never claimed for vehicles to be the main combat focus of the tdm so you seem to have a problem with some idea you devised yourself? idk whats going on
Consequently the TDM no longer actually can be called a vehicle TDM as the vehicles are just dead time.
wtf is this stuff? "Can no longer be called a vehicle TDM", you're the only one that called it that in the first place! -___-

The TDM is A.
You  think the TDM is B and label it as such.
You attack the TDM because it doesn't fit B
The flaw: The TDM was never meant to fit B, you're the only one who labeled it as such. Then you're attacking it based on how it doesn't fit the label you gave it.

Now someone make a Jeep Sumo server.

Give credit to ScatteredSpace, porfavor

Question: Are dogfights actually fun when most of the arena is just water? Or are they better over land?
