Make campaign gamemode with AI holes?

[Bester Bageler]

Normally story-lined based things in Blockland are fun to play. As long the new AI has many useful functions. So why not a campaign gamemode? The system in the Speed kart and Rampage gamemode could be applied to this with multiple builds being loaded to simulate levels with changes in environment as well. Player count can be adjusted with console commands so why not have the game auto adjusted the player limit to the suggested maximum if it goes higher than can possibly work. Thoughts?

AI holes and plot based gamemode? What? Like the board game Clue or something?

Then comes the problem of AI's in it that don't work. So what if once AI holes come a plot based gamemode is made with them?

Pretty much a themed challenge that includes Badspot's AI holes for fighting, working with, being general distractions, decorations, trying to protect. Sorta like portal 2.

No like a campaign game.

I am so going to make blockland main adventure mode when bots are released.

I did but I don't really understand it. Why would need a special gamemode like racing for this? VCE + bots and you're good to go. If you want fancier stuff then it's really something that you would need script yourself specifically for your server according to your own ideals. Sure Badspot could script a base RPG layout but that would just spawn dozens of copies of the same server running the same mod.

Sorta like portal 2.

Aaand now you lost me completely.

What are AI "holes"?

What are AI "holes"?

AI "holes" is the name of the bot spawns. If you are wondering where I got this idea go look on Badspot's server. Would it have been better if I made the title "Make a plot based gamemode with Badspot's AI once they come out?"?

I am not the best builder, i could like rarely help with events, but i could also support this topic with ideas and all.
So what's the plan?

What is the campaign about?
What time/setting?

This could work like sorta like the Cyblock campaign that The Titanium made.

The gamemode should allow user made levels so people could contribute. Now we need to create some BL canon.

I was actually making a blockland campaign map last night. I don't know what the level layout should be or how it should start but so far it looks good. I'll post pics when I get home.

the main thing that would be needed is scripting lordi, to clear bricks and load the ones of the next level once finished. To adjust the game to the player amount there and set anyone who joins late in an AI sort of role. For checkpoints to save inventory data. later code that is activated by event may be needed. Plot is going to be like the old lego time cruisers where you are traveling through time to stop a rouge villain.

level layout should work like rampage and speed kart
map 1 loads
map 1 is cleared map 2 loads
map 2 is cleared map 3 loads
Except "map" is the level.

Storyline games are good if they're done right.

Brainstorm gameplay elements to add and introduce to the player as they progress through the story, write and interesting and entertaining story for the players to go through, and make the build very interactive.

Getting the team together! Yeah! Plot is going to be one of the following:
Space
Timetravel
Quest for the Lost Golden Brick
All 3 mixed with funky gathering a rag-tag team to get golden brick.

You're going to be timetravelling in space, trying to find the right place and time to acquire the golden brick.

Legit.
