Author Topic: RPGic needs.  (Read 4401 times)

If I ever make my rpg mod, believe me, I'll try as hard as I can to make a money system that recycles money without recreating it. I believe the key problem with money cycling is that if a player gets a certain portion and stops playing, that money can't be recovered if left alone. My solution would be charging fees for not joining after a certain amount of time. Players also need a good incentive to earn and spend money, I believe weapons alone aren't enough and that rpg mods such as Aloshi's should offer more things to do with your money. I mean, it gets a little repetitive when you just earn money for that. I do sort of like the police system in Aloshi's rpg since it gives you an actual rpgish job, but there isn't really a reason to arrest people (except for stealing but there should be more reasons).

I hope all I said makes sense, I'm just bored and decided to post my incomplete thoughts on the matter.

So we need...

Purpose,
Order,
Freedom,
Variety.

Key one is purpose but even that fails if the others lack.

I want money to be an item too. So you can store it in a safe or something in your house.

Might work but there are a few things that might stop such a thing, such as, how do you specify how much to drop? Where does it get placed? Does it stay there forever or does it dissapear after awhile? if its stay is there a limit to avoid lag?

my mod has the abillity to drop cash by typing /dropcash amount
mr pickle's cash mod has the ability to have cash dropped and picked up again.  At one point he kept dropping cash and i kept stealing it.

Erm for food

Take the pill add on
and change the model
fin!
Geek doesn't want people using his model like that...

Script*

We so need edit.

Using the pill's script seems fair enough. I mean, I have nothing against Geek and its ok that he asked us not to use the parts of it but any script we make that restores health will have the same end result regardless of how it is coded.

Perhaps he is just worried about his effect being used?

Anyway, I want to see a pizza item.

if this is reviving sorry
i agree with most of the things in this topic, especially the part about the goal, in gmod rp's people allways forget that the goal isnt to Dm it is to create a virtual life with friends and such, just a daily escape from real lifes problems and challanges, maybe if someone looked at the gmod dark rp files and figured out how it saves the money server side we could intergrate that into blockland, but i know that a few people here dont want to get garrys mod involved with blockland, also a bank that actually saves your money, i mean pickels cash mods bank spots work fine but again if you leave its resetted, also a bank money Intrest system, nothing too complicated just somthing like money in bank (X) percentage of money to be used as intrest values (y) and then time to wait for intrest to be deposited (z)

so say........ X= 2k Y= 2% Z= 30 (minuets) so that would be........ 400$ interest every half hour of playing,
but then whoever makes the intrest system will have to somehow make it so that money gained through Interest does not contribute to the intrest gained, only the initial deposit(s)

for the bank system and stuff saving we could just use a simple BL ID saver function?

also i think that Bricks that are houses or 2 story apartments of a bank or somthing would sorta cut the lag involved with an rpg city build =?

thats another issue with RPG's, the cities lag really bad unless they are part of the map, like intergrated into the map, that could cut lag too couldnt it? such as in custom maps people just make the landscape, why not make blocklander sized houses part of the map, just a bit of collisioner and textures

Pollomotize the want for rpg mod. If its high enough I'll get off my arse and work on one( I'll have to give credit to Mr. Pickel for the cash system tho, so if he wants I should stop Ill have to, but if you guys really want one I guess I can start on one.)
1)MUST HAVE
2)need!
3)want!
4)meh!
5)no!
6)(Mr. Pickel only) NEBER USE MAH CASH MODZ FOR CRAPPY RPGMOD!!!!

A few ideas I have and know how to set up:
custom classes, host can make custom classes and give them certain powers/drawbacks
Brick and weapon costs
ULTIMATE TREE CUTTERS!(I think i know how)

Ill post if I decide to start on it, but my decision is based on your input.
If I do start, Ill make a topic in modification discussion.

MUST HAVE!

could you include my bank interest idea too? =3

Yeah, BL ID, any group status, special permissions, inventory, and money should be dumped to a text file

I know how much you guys looooove jookia (sarcasm)

But his RPG script does dump to a text file

uhm, duh? Most rpg scripts do, how else would they save?
