--- Quote from: Nitramtj on December 22, 2010, 03:14:11 PM ---How about you guys just ignore Ephialtes, and show that you're going to finish this? --- End quote --- Yup, that's what I plan to do, I wouldn't want people thinking that I don't follow though on my promises. Anyway, the mod will work like this: There will be a basic trading card gui which will allow you to view all your trading cards in a list, they will all be in a menu that you can scroll though with buttons to request a trade with someone else where you will be able to trade probably up to two cards each, either way, this can be viewed from a button on the main menu, or through a key bind in a server. Cards will be displayed with the border representing the cards type (keep reading) possibly a picture (cards can have pictures but they don't have the need to have one) and the players name and bl_id along with a short description about them. There will be three types of cards, for now I just call them: silver,gold, and blue. Silver cards have a random chance of being given to you every hour of play time, but aren't actually displayed until you go back to the main menu, where there will be a little message saying if you were given new cards while you were in a server. The chance of getting a silver card has a basic value for each card, that can be decreased overall by the amount of other cards the player already has, or by how many cards have been given out in total. Gold cards are the same as silver cards, except when you get one, you can't get that card again, the only way to get multiple gold cards is to trade for someone else's. Blue cards are by theory the most valuable, you can only get them by being given them by someone who is authorized to give away such cards. For authentication, the first time someone of a certain BL_ID opens blockland with the mod, they request their account be created with their bl_id, the server makes the account, and sends back a randomly generated password, this password is then set and everytime the person opens blockland, they'll login silently with that password. There will probably be a block that only one account can be registered per IP with occasional dumping of the IP reccords though, just to make it so that someone can't just register every BL_ID. |

In fact, whoever manages it is/was running a beta, so I couldn't get in to see people since the download was locked... I'd rather this span. --- End quote --- It never had city in it's name. It was server_drpg, and client_drpg. You were forced to have the client (bunch of GUIs) because it would be extremely difficult to play otherwise. The download was never locked, and if it was, you could've went to the topic, or contacted the host, for a new link. And lastly, my server doesn't force you to download it, you'll just be stripped of some features. |

Hey guys, help me come up with card ideas, the format is: PLAYER_NAME PLAYER_BLID DESCRIPTION TYPE RARITY Anyway, the first two are the player on the card's name and bl_id, the next is a short sentence or two describing the player, the type is blue, gold, or silver (read above for details about the difference) and the rarity is what your chance is of getting it in an hour of play time, 0.001 to 0.05 (won't definitely get it until between 1000 and 20 hours of game play) are valid, and if the type is blue, then the rarity is how many I should give out. The mod should be ready for testers by tomorrow. I also need some basic trade card frames that are gold silver and blue, if anyone would like to help design some. |
