What to focus on first?

Polish and mod completion (add special functionality to bugs and stuff that have been needing it)
Finish and release the MAS Magma Exo-suit
Finish the MAS Scarab-Wasp playertypes
Create more ASN (robotic) playertypes
Finish up and release the currently exsistant but unrelased bugs (the Tremormites, the two spiders, BugMod 3, ect)
Work on the remainder of the wasps
Work on new bugs!
Create more MAS weapons/suits/items/ect

Author Topic: The Bug & MAS Mods (Server coming maybe)  (Read 733836 times)

Hmm.. Apparently this is what some of the bugs do over the weekend, lol.
I actually made this little build Wednesday when I had nothing else to do.

Do these still run the old zombie/bot mod or are the being fixed to be there own section in holes?

Currently they use the old zombie mod, but I will be converting everything to the new bot section soon (next week hopefully).

Okay, all of the Mod1 bugs have been converted to the new bot system. So far the only "major" issue that I've encountered is that bots always attack players, even if the player is the same playertype/bot team as the bot (ie. If I spawn as a mite, bot mites will still attack me).
This will be an issue for hive systems, because hives will consist of both players and bots.



So, toying with the idea- once we get Bug Mod supported by AI, who'd be up for a objective-based mission focused on the bugs vs. AI enemies? Just curiousish ','
More like the players are vs. just AI. The idea is basicly a batch of capture points, and eventually the Bugs can get some rewards for various captures (better digger/subterrain bugs upon capping a certain cave, for example.) I'm thinking a hybrid of Siege and Trenchdig for this, it's not nessisarily the best of thought out but I'm trying to think of interesting bits.

This is a great idea! I'll be sure to send you the converted bug mods once they are done.

At least no one was on the surface at the time you were making it. Then you would have to fight them off if they were a non friendly.

Did anyone know that there was a surface that you can get to or did you tell them once you reached it?
Yeah that's true. I built that while playing as a normal bug, so I could have been killed instantly.
And I informed everyone of the surface near the end of the server. No one seemed to care. :P

Surely went to wast.

Yes it did. :(

Hmm, i have to check something before i can call any solutions.

Also, you said wast.
That is why i said that. :D

The server will probably be an hour late today. I'm still finishing something up. :S

You almost done with what you are working on?

Sever just crashed. :L
Restarting...

Today's server was really fun, although I was only on there part of the time(At the start of the server and when I left). Arora took over my computer and was playing on the server most of the time.
Now I have a bump on my head from her tail knocking me out. -_o
Hopefully she will calm down by tomorrow.

What. Has. Science. DONE! >:|

Explanation of the above two posts:

Quote from: Arora the Swift Dragon
Hello ArmyUnit (leader of MAS), I am one of few swift dragons that are born and raised by humans.

I was born and raised by HanHan13. I was taught to fight for HanCo.
I'm glad to be raised by a human that takes good care of me.

I'm a strong and powerful swift dragon (not as strong as Swifty).
I am adventurous and I like to learn more about my kind when ever I get the chance.
I'm not scared of a lot of stuff(accept for maybe renderman).
HanHan lets me do almost anything I want to do as long as it's something that won't get me in trouble.

HanHan tells me how MAS and HanCo don't get along to well and that's why they fight each other.
She has told me how MAS is going to fight off the bug invasion.
HanHan also tells me some things about Swifty and how he doesn't like humans that much. I'm hoping I'll be able to meet him someday.

HanHan has aloud me to talk to you and meet you in person (and Swifty if he can make it) on the server tomorrow.
She told me that I'm not allowed to tell you my name till then(to make it a surprise).

Listen up runt, I doubt you understand the implications of you being "tamed", but you are the last thing Swift dragons need. We are already an endangered species, we don't need to be enslaved and weaponized on top of that.
Just leave it to the humans to make a bad situation even worse..

You want to learn about our kind? Well let me show you what it feels like to be destroyed by a true Swift Dragon.

I'm coming for you too, HanHan. This is all your fault.

Quote from: Arora the Swift Dragon
I now understand the real reason why HanHan has tamed me to work with HanCo.
What I was told - I was abandoned by my mother when I was still a egg. Then one day she found me and raised her as the first tamed swift dragon.

What I know now - HanHan fought of my mother and somehow killed her just so she can get one of her eggs to be raised by humans for the first time.

I now have HanHan held captive in the very cage she has kept me in for being bad when I have done something wrong.

I wish to leave HanCo and the humans that have done me wrong to come with you so I can learn to live a normal life if a swift dragon

This is just the beginning!

A strange way of a romance, but i am sure it will work out...
I guess..

Otherwise i vote for science.
Not the dragons because he/she would eat me afterwards.

Also, as said before, the expressions and details on swifty in the comic are great.
And once again, your 'friendship' with these strange creatures lead to another conflict.
(See Dready's comic.)
Why do you let them in your room anyhow...
I should hack in the door system to stop you from opening the door for them.

The expenses of our medical bays are rising quite rapidly because of this.

Romance? Don't be silly, I'm helping Arora for the sake of my species (besides, I already have a mate).

Anyway, why not become allies? I am fighting against HanCo just as much as MAS. It makes sense to me that we work together. I will assist you against the bugs if you help me break Arora out of wherever she is being held.

Also Lordician, I never let Dready into my room. I honestly don't know how he got in. ;S
(And I am so happy you like the comic! I put way too much effort into it, soo)

I am not keeping Arora held captive. I was just keeping Arora in her cage till she calmed down.
she is in her room atm sleeping. Her room is right next to my office at HanCo HQ.
I'll let Arora come to you if you promise not to do any harm to me or my people.
I will have my men attack if you do decide to fight us to get to her.

I think as soon as we would defeat the forces of HanCo, you would just backstab me though.
You have a tendency to eat people, after you fried them of course.
I have studied your species, i know what you're like.

Quite... Dreadful isn't it. :D

Not really way too much, it's nice to see some side story stuff in comic form really. :)
And the amount of detail really works out nicely.
