On to game logic (Page 1 of 2)

For large monsters they stil use 1x1 square, so I dono you may wana change that.

Well yea... but atm theres no paths that are only 1 square that I know of with lagre monsters. I was thinking of more bears,mechas,stt which are all out side forest monsters(which nowhere near towns or w/e). And if somehow they do find a place to hide, just make the AI of the monsters to run away if they cant taget the person for so many seconds

ghost has problems, its juzt invisibily, I wanna be able to just float around with a cursor, and view differnt z levels of buildings, ect.

as it is now, we GMs cant even walk into a guild hall, its a hastle.

plus it would be neat to just float around, and then take control of a guard or somthing..

but with the alternate plane, or dymention, whatever... we could have an accual place where players and their items are when they are offline. It would be useful to just imbody someones character to view what they have, to track down non-legit stuff and remove it or whathaveyou

Well wheres the list of rules to follow to determine "Non-legit" stuff...also the players trust would fall so much this way due to the huge amount of GM abuse that has been happening in the past. For a GM to have the power to strip whatever char they want whenever they want and offer no reason would be a bad scenario.

Also unless this astral plane recorded logs to say which GM did what and when then they could get away with it with no hassles.

I like the after death idea...maybe set a task to get back to the real world. So everytime you die you need to do 1 of 10  mediocre tasks such as gather 10 furs....or a maze back to civilisation

Zammbi has done a few Pauals Pony wars that people have been more than happy to enter in without the promise for any prize.

As mumblee said anything to drag the player away from the monotomy of lvling. That is why Wars where so welcomed. Anyone could hold a war in town/duelling arena etc but it was the same thing. So to have a war on another map that was innaccessable was an exciting prospect.

The problem with GM logs is that...who the hell is going to read them. And unless it was an automated log then it would be useless because said individual could choose to not record some details~

GM events, economy, and GM logs, & ligitimacy are very irrelevant in this topic however.
so lets get back to  how maps and the mobiles on them operate...

tyrannas, You said "the server does not allow 2 of the same players on" well its really only 1 client connected to the server. control over your character or another thing is objective

jesus, non legit items would fall into the category of billions of duped gold via packet edit, or a gm creating items and a player obtaining it, simple and the possibility for GM abuse isn't too relevent.

Essentially you would be the AI for your character, your main player. shifting of control to another entity is just a platform for other mini games, or events. For example, a GM could create another mini-world, seperate from the main faldon world. Then shift the control of a bunch of players to like seperate entitess with basically no AI, or replace thier AI... either way. it would switch bassically all aspects of your playable character, all skills, spells, stats, name, would all be parented to that entity.

this would open up LOADS of cool shit for GMs, and then maybe some other things that players can do, like I mensioned a possess spell, various mini games, or an afterlife dymention. But something Id like to create is like a goblin war or something: I shift the players control to goblins in another dymention/plane/whater. thier characters are fine, and phased into void . we have a big war controling these goblins which would be realitivy equal. IE a Fair, & Fun war event for players with no equipment damage, exp loss, or what have you. your goblin dies, then zap back to your main character

but of course an evil GM could switch players control of thier bodys (like "hot chick" starring rob schnyder haha)

Of course that wouldent be compadable with this current VB server, thats not important though, just have the support for it and we can render up some graphical controls for it or somthing (for gms)

hm the 2 duelers enter a protected room with there pets, then a lever that one of the players can press, which will run a script so the other pet attacks him which will make his pet attack defend him. Since it will be a protected room none can cast spells/attack, but the pets will be able to still.
