Author Topic: BlueDryBones1's Boss Battles  (Read 29533 times)


This server is hosted by Hamhost thanks to hammereditor².

Figured it was about time I got this on the forum but I wanted to be well past the BETA stages before I did.

Anyways, just your standard One Man Army Boss Battles with several classes coming from whatever ideas we get.

Bosses use special HP to prevent being overpowered or underpowered on certain playercounts (special thanks to Visolator for making this script).  Normals have 7 minutes to try to defeat the boss while boss either has to defeat all or cap the point to win like regular boss battles.

We have two completed stages that are in use as well as the ability to pay to change what stage everyone will play on in the next round.  Although some lag prevents me from fully using this effect to its max potential as too many can cause some lag problems which I try to avoid by having a different set of stages in different saves.

Spawns:



Normal Spawn:

Where normal spawn every round.  Like all of its shops it has telepads to navigate to wherever you need to go.  I considered teledoors or elevators put telepads were the best b/c the former 2 some random person can go afk in the middle of the entrance.  Currently holds 13 Normal Classes and tells the player the identity of the Boss or Traitor.

Boss Spawn:

Where the boss spawns every round.  Currently holds 20 Bosses, some more recent have some special abilities due to my progress on learning how to use VCE efficiently.

Miniboss Shop:

This is where you go if you want to play as one of the minibosses.  Currently there are 16 minibosses as well as the second thoughts pedestal which allows you to join the boss as a traitor exclusive class which are slightly weaker than normal bosses, there are currently 6 traitor bosses at the moment.

Item Shop:

This is where you buy items to use with the regular 13 classes.  You can only use 1 item here at a time to prevent possible overpowered combos. To prevent cheating the system there is toggletooldrop always enabled when the server goes up.

 - Due to not much use the Item Shop has a chance of being replaced by something else.  Ideas for replacement are currently being considered.

Arena Shop:

Back in v1 this housed where you purchase unlockables for each stage.  Since v2 I have yet to have put the past unlockables back but they will be back soon. This is also the location of the arena pedestals where you can pay to change the arena everyone will spawn in for the next round and all after until changed again.

-10/29/13 - Gonna shift efforts to finish the events of one of the pedestals that allows one pedestals to have varying effects depending on what stage is currently picked, this prevents having to make multiple pedestals for each stage and instead use the same three for every stage.

Music Shop:

Don't like the current music? Well you can change it cheaply here but only allows the music to change once per round to prevent spam by possible fights over what should play.

Stages:

Classic Arena
Made by: the administration

A basic arena with a few buildings and stuff inside as well as home of the Admin room.

NOTICE: All BETA Admins that remain inactive till the end of November will be demoted. Build credits will have your efforts and contributions remembered, but too many admins and too little active have been really getting its toll as the number has influenced my decision on new admins. BETA admins however I will allow them to earn them back if they are willing to help when they come back but this applies to BETA admins only as they helped make the BETA version of the server which helped shape the boss battles today. The Classic Arena is really all that truly remains of the BETA brickwise because of the day when I removed everything but it to redo the spawns. Nevertheless build credits will be given to those who contributed since the BETA stages.

Before you post: Keep in mind that I am still tweaking bosses to get to a certain level of fairness where the boss is neither at a severe advantage or disadvantage. If anything seems overpowered or too weak or if you find any bugs, please let any of the admins know. It is our job to try to fix it and we will do it when notified. We wont know what to fix if you don't tell us. Especially to those admins who spend more time outside the minigames to notice.

I like Boss Battle servers a lot, it seems well ran too. I think you should post pictures of the map.

why does everyone bother with classes

for once i want to see a boss battles where you have to find weapons, or get them randomly
randomizer boss battles
hell yes

uhhh
preferably make it so it's FUN to be a "normal" or whatever

because usually for me, the only fun part is being the boss and wrecking EVERYONE
also afk killers is a must

I wasn't mentioned in op :c

Oops :o I only added those who put their names on the wall.  I'll fix in a moment but you have to add it yourself on the server.

We have afk kickers.  What I still need to make is one that will KO the boss sooner if he
s afk.

With 13 Normal Classes(and room for a couple more) and 15 Minibosses(and room for maybe 50) with me adding to each as soon as we get ideas I try to add new stuff to keep it fresh.

(special thanks to Visolator for making this script)
Helped on what exactly? I don't remember, even know I read the sentence.

Which hosting service are you using?

Unfortunately this server isn't 24/7 I cannot purchase things through the internet.

I host this dedicated so long as my computer is on and I have it sometimes on Tues/Thurs and pretty much guaranteed on Fri-Sun unless there is something I want to add that requires me having server down for the day.

Which hosting service are you using?
HamHost I hope :)

This server, I must say, is pretty awesome! The pictures look nice and everything, nice job.

inb4"I use my computer desktop"

Yep.  I use the dedicated server desktop thing that is optional when you download BL for now.  So as long as my computer is up the server can be up.  I wish I could make it 24/7 but I do not have the resources for that.

I used to do this until people kept saying "Get a 24/7 server pls"
