Author Topic: Trading Cards - That old Add-On from 2007... I found it.  (Read 19597 times)

It's funny how there are long lists of:
Code: [Select]
if(%id == <number>)
{
%name = <name>;
}
That should all be replaced by a function like this:
Code: [Select]
addcard(<name>,<number>);
Plus the actual cards should be managed on a master server.

I noticed the Serverside .cs was in the main folder. The control for this is pretty wonky... If anyone wants to revive this, you'd probably want to start from the ground up.

I could take on such a task, but I still don't get how it's different from the hats mod.
Hi.

Hi.

Why the hell can't I remember that website I used to upload to? The website was mostly black and gray, looked weird... I think it had Box in the name... I want to upload what I have, but not to those standard crap sites.

Edit: Oh wow, I found it, and it seems now it's the exact opposite color scheme. Not even "box" in the name. Anyway, here's what I got. Not sure if I got all the files, though:

I've had this hanging around in my old add-ons folder for yonks. Also: lol bjwaymods.

Could set it up that when you see someone in a server then it sends something off to the card server going "HEY I SAW ____"
If you didn't have them, it adds their card to your album

The less people that have a card, the lower its rarity is (based on a % of people who have card albums).
% of usersRarity
<1%Legendary
1-9%Super-Rare
10-25%Rare
26-40%Uncommon
41-99%Common
100%Whore

Then you can of course trade cards, and set a quote to appear on your own card, set what avatar parts should show in the image on your card, and maybe a user rating system. If you used rasterized images of the cards you could even post them on the forums!

This is of course a lot of work for something utterly useless (but cool, and that's what matters, right?)

And because I'm bored, a mockup of what said rasterized card could look like:

Clockturn
Rarity: Uncommon
Rating: 3.75

Rarity icons in order here, too

Could set it up that when you see someone in a server then it sends something off to the card server going "HEY I SAW ____"

That would require some safe authenthication system, cause else, somebody could just spam fake "HEY I SAW" requests, and if it uses some syntax like "see myblid theirblid", a person could fake other people to have seen the person too.

I though of this last summer. Battles and stuff. More like Pokemon in Blockland rather than just collecting cards. I had quite extensive plans too. If someone is going to create/revive this I'd love to help.

I think something would have to be done with adding 20,000+ BL_IDs to the system.
I think everybody should make a card, then add it to the system.

For Example:



Mine would be Common.

I think I'll whip up a card template for stuffs and giggles.


Join one server - let 3 people get yourself as a card
be ultra rare, Win game.

Create yourself as a card. Never give it to anyone. Be unique. Win game.

The game mechanics have to be though through.
