Author Topic: Building a mod, taking request  (Read 1136 times)

I am bored out of my mind and I need something to do. I have decided to let strangers decide the specifics about the mod.

Current Ideas:
  • New CityRPG gamemode (might not because Vaux)
  • Some kind of medieval RPG thing (I don't even know the specifics)
  • Scripted arcade kind of gamemode
  • Accepting random scripting requests
  • Image viewing client mod
  • blockland social media service (like some kind of blockland twitter thing)
  • doing something in another language


If you have any ideas for things not in the list, please address them, otherwise post which you feel would be best and specifics about it that you would like to see

New CityRPG gamemoed (might not because Vaux)

Regarding this, make it somewhat simple. Use the score for money, allow incscore and stuff, but make it admin only (to put into bricks, any player can trigger it).
Allow random money to spawn on bricks. Bricks named '$spawn' will have money spawn in tiny amounts (1-5), '$$spawn' will have money spawn in better amounts (5-20), and '$$$spawn' will have money spawn in great amounts(20-100).

Instead of having a whole bunch of jobs, just have a few jobs that have different 'ranks' or promotion levels (kinda like sims). For example, only one shop job. Could start off with little pay and as time goes on you get promoted to level 2 etc. Focus jobs on making the player do activity. For example, if someone buys something of yours then your income will increase for the next few days, and your chance for promotion increases. For police, if you arrest someone (not kill them) then their income etc will increase. If you do kill a wanted man, your pay will still go up but not as much as arresting them. So just use the taser (which will ONLY work on wanted people). Give police more power. Also police guns will only hurt wanted people, people that are not wanted will not be damaged. Give criminals less power. Make guns more expensive if you are wanted. Make dermits more expensive to pay off, and impossible to pay off at a specific point (like 3 stars wanted or something). Let cops spawn with guns, do not let criminals spawn with guns. Criminals get VERY LOW pay, and it only slightly increases if they kill someone, and slightly increases more if they kill a police officer.

Regarding death, make it GTA styled. When you respawn a percentage of your money will go away. Also increase the maximum health so it's harder to die.

Regarding police arrest, if you are arrested then you will still be taken to a prison cell but you have another option, you can go on parole which will last longer and be limiting, but you will still be somewhat free! Regarding the crimes you committed, many things could happen. The parole time will be the time you have to spend in prison multiplied by the amount of stars you had. Once you're on parole, if you committed a murder then you will not be able to buy items and if you go near a person/people you murdered then your wanted level will go up. If you're on parole then once you reach 3 stars wanted you are automatically sent back to jail without the option to go on parole again. Once you're released from prison, you will go on a parole-like state for 5 minutes so you can't just go back to a crime spree, and also a percentage of your money will go away.

Okay I'm done.

I like your whole "Make being a criminal a bad thing," however, being a criminal is an important part of a City RPG, so I might not implement that. Otherwise, you have some dandy ideas! If you can pull together the rest of the concept, I might be able to make your mod a reality, of course, with other people's ideas included

Tatoe Claus: the map would cycle
Tatoe Claus: it'd be a tower defense
Zoltan: andyoukilleechothrwithbazooka sblaaa
Tatoe Claus: where you scavenge bricks for currency
Tatoe Claus: and you can buy weapons and turrets
Tatoe Claus: and fort upgrades
Zoltan: zombies
Tatoe Claus: im imagining the zombies running in a line through the tunnels now
Tatoe Claus: in a single file line
Tatoe Claus: this is a nice thought

the idea was that you'd get 2 minutes in a terrain map to go and scavenge for certain bricks (currency) to buy turrets and stuff for your tower defense and also weapons to keep them at bay with by yourself.

sorry for double post but we came up with another one

Zoltan: gamemode idea
Zoltan: buy shields n stuff to protect yourself with bricks
Zoltan: explosions of random happen everywhere on the map
Zoltan: some are fire and set you on fire
Zoltan: some are cold and make you freeze
Zoltan: some are regular and just forgetin hurt
Zoltan: you can only have 1 shield
Zoltan: so you have to decide
Zoltan: what to use
Tatoe Claus: um
Tatoe Claus: thats
Tatoe Claus: really cool
Zoltan: kinda a joke idea
Zoltan: but whatevs
Tatoe Claus: oh god, brick shields
Zoltan: you like
Zoltan: have a status icon above your head
Tatoe Claus: hold up a 3x3 plate
Zoltan: oh that works actually better
Zoltan: you're holding a 3x3 plate above your head
Zoltan: which is red if it protects against fire
Zoltan: blue for cold
Zoltan: and brown for rock
Tatoe Claus: neat
Tatoe Claus: oh god
Zoltan: shields get better and better(either bigger and bigger or taller and taller) each round
Zoltan: but you have to buy the better shield
Tatoe Claus: what if you jumped and if you hit one while in the air it rebounds and can hit another player
Zoltan: your shield stays the same
Zoltan: that player gets forgeted
Tatoe Claus: lel
Zoltan: the rocks do more damage each round
Tatoe Claus: oo
Zoltan: and a cold rock would go right through your shield if you had, say, a rock shield
Tatoe Claus: osnap
Zoltan: WAIT IDEA
Tatoe Claus: wait
Zoltan: So basically
Tatoe Claus: you'd have one shield
Zoltan: You start off with no shields
Zoltan: Round 1 is you have to dodge rocks.
Zoltan: Round 2 allows you to buy 1 shield
Tatoe Claus: and you could buy different shield masteries
Tatoe Claus: like
Zoltan: Round 3 lets you buy another shield, so you can have, say, 10% protection from damage rocks AND fire-rocks
Tatoe Claus: 30% chance of deflecting a certain type
Zoltan: If you get a second fire-rock shield
Tatoe Claus: you could just buy different levels of shielding for each typed
Tatoe Claus: *type
Zoltan: thats 20 or 15% protection
Tatoe Claus: and you could maybe get a consumable force field that lasts a short amount of time
Tatoe Claus: or lasts for however many boulders

Not sure if this is what you meant by the image browser thing, but what about something that when you click on a link to an image file; instead of opening your browser, it downloads the image and uses a GUI to display it in the game window. Should have a Save/Discard button.

When you get promoted, you have an option to stay at your level or still get promoted but keep your job name.
Reaching level 10 of a job grants perks. Also you can have multiple jobs if you can handle it. If you leave a job you can resume the job at the same level you were and also you keep your perk.

Did I miss anything?

Porting the left 4 block mod to the new bot holes.


I think you should create some Blockland social media service. It would really help users connect with one another.

A clan system of some sort.

Features:
-Private chat between members
-Clan server status
-Moderation abilities (Just for chat)
-News Board (Update it with current projects)
-Rule Board
-Media Page(Maybe have it link to gallery pages and just present them?)
-Save directory
-Information page (Link to clan page)
-More fancy stuff that escapes my mind.

Edit:
-Last logged in features(To see if somebody is active)

So like, a social media service with clans implemented?
More like the other way around. Its meant to be centered around the clan, not whats happening in blockland for everyone else. To keep them updated on what their clan is doing to remain active. I don't know if that makes much sense.
I guess it'd be better to implement it together as one mod.

Transportable Howitzer.

Why not make one that can attach/detach to a jeep by pressing [SPACE]? It can use G-Cat's Howitzer, but it has hook up to the back and it can't fire unless it's deployed
