Other Orbiting Battle

[master maste]

You can't finish now, just give it a break for a week or so then come back.

Me and chovy didnt have it easy lots of people seemed to show interest but not alot happened, we started the project over a year and a half ago and spend the time until the last month doing nothing. . . every time a new system came along we learnt it and addapted but never used. . .

I'm working on this by myself at the moment as chovy and I only ever talk on msn offline (as in he leaves messages for me when im offline then I read them when i get back online) as he is spending more time with his family.

But I am more than willing to help you sort out your map and let you see into the magical mysterys of project orbitos (not even chovy has seen the current map )

 

[mOoEyThEcOw]

Hey I like the map, so far its good. (actully its awsome)

Id never be able to code that lawl.

A couple more stars would fit my taste, but thats just me.

Keep it up and it'll be an awsome map.

 

[chovynz]

Your doing good Psi (and master )
I'll try to pop in, in the next week or so. My life is still in upheaval at the mo.

..., im getting depressed, its as if all my hard work is being ignored. im just gona upload a open unprotected version, if anyone where to try to steal it, they would only steal an incompleat game.

Welcome to the life of a map maker. Now your getting into the real part of it. Just think of the satisfaction you'll get once it's done.

 

[Psiblade94122]

Holy crap your alive! anyways, i cant work on anything atm untill i get my laptop back

My main computer's hardrive blew up <again> so my bro took my laptop to collage, im now useing i dont even know what kind of comp this is, but it has 500mzh and 256ram... which is really low (oh yea and 32mbs of memory for the vid card T.T)

> Just think of the satisfaction you'll get once it's done.

Most likely im never going to end this, because if it gets popular, and i release the "final" version, after a wile ppl are not going to play it anymore (like ToB) If i learned anything from playing on battle.net the only reason why dota is still alive is because the developers <currently icefrog> has updated it for several years now, and they still are

 

[chovynz]

LOL I just played your map. Its hilarous.

I think you've done a great job. Only thing is....I'd make the players ship faster maybe. And for that matter the weapons too.

Edit: i found a bug. The purple cannon makes a black hole not what it describes.
Edit2: ahhhh nvm about the speed. i didnt read the start properly.

 

[Psiblade94122]

oh that, its not exactly a bug... its more like... my lazyness to rename my dummy ability <tooltip wise>

As for the Dummy abilities...

Reaper : Multi Lasers <homeing>
Galatica : Missle Barrage
Scilcia <sp?> : Black hole

These are the real names, i just never bothered to change them because i was so busy triggering them

and trust me, NEVER EVER spend all your stat on speed, you will fly so friken fast you cant control your ship!

 

[Psiblade94122]

A compleat overhaul

alright, its bin weeks since ive worked on this project, and due to popular demand i will finish and compleat this... after i finish some co projects im working on

List of things i will want to implement

[B][U]Virtual inventory[/U][/B]
your inventory slots will be replaced my ship customization options
to fix inventory problems, i will add a virtual inventory where the game keeps track of your items

[B][U]Item creation system[/U][/B]
You start with no Items, but with gold, enough to create a weapon
to create a Item, you buy parts from your home base and any combination of 3 will produce a skill, or in this case a weapon.
after the combo is finished, of course your virtual inventory will be wiped
The middle shop will sell parts that are on the black market, these parts are needed to create super items, but users beware, there will be negative side effects to these items
The items you create will be stored in your inventory, which is inside of your base
This system works like Spell Craft's skill creation system

[B][U]Level up[/U][/B]
i will scrap the custom stat growth system that i have
instead i will implement a new system where the higher your stat is, the more stat points is needed to level it up
you will get more stat points depending on your level

Example: Levels 1 to 5 = 3 stat points
                      Levels 6 to 10 = 5 stat points
                      Levels 11 - 15 = 7 stat points
                      etc...

[B][U]Inventory[/U][/B]
I will barrow Aviation Wars inventory system, where the items you create are stored in your inventory structures
You will have 5 different slots for items 
Weapon: This is your main attack

Advanced weapon: This is your secondary attack, these attacks will deal more damage then your normal attack, but at a higher mana cost and cooldown

Activate able Ability: This slot is for your activatable skills

Passive Ability: This is your passive ability slow

Armor: Armor generally increases your Hull stat at a cost to your agi

[B][U]Mother Ship[/U][/B]
This ship will have extra stats
However...
This ship dose not have the ability to create items
This is the only ship that will be the only ship with level able skills
This is the only ship that has a natural HP regeneration
This ship cannot be rebuilt
However...
A small escape pod will spawn for the mother ship's commander, more details later

[U]Escape Pod[/U]
This ship is a punishment for the player because he lost his mother ship
This ship is much weaker then the other ships
This ship looses all the skills the Mother ships has, along with its levels and stats
This ship gains the ability to create items, but cannot create black market items
This ship looses the Armor and Activatable ability equipment slots

PS: im still looking for someone to change the colors of that skin so that its metalic

 

[Psiblade94122]

Bump!
Start of a remake of this map!

READ FIRST POST!!!!!

 

[thewrongvine]

This seems cool...

Is a download available? :thup:

 

[Psiblade94122]

not the new one, im currently messing around with the new methods that ive thought of, so far its going pretty well

 

[Zedzy]

This sounds really cool! As said before, when is the Alpha coming out????

P.S. How did you get wasd movement?

 

[Psiblade94122]

youll see once i get the playroom out (its gona be unprotected) but this is where most of the experiemntal triggers are being made

<note a bulk of the play room will actually be converted into the offical release versons>

As of now the WASD system is almost compleate, all thats left is a little bit value editing and it shuld be good to go!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!! my obsession with oldschool arcade has come back!
The game now runs on a 8 directonal WASD system! with W and S to ctrl your speed and A and D to turn!

Oh btw, the bullet system is finished

 

[Psiblade94122]

Playroom 1 will release on saturday

Playroom 1 will include
WASD System
W and S crontroles your speed while A and D turns you, you only have 8 frames of turning <mimicing the old arcade games>

The frist bullet, weak little bugger, 10 base damage
Damage system, Your Str = % damage delt
(IE: 50 str, 10 base damage. (50*.01)x10) = 5 damage <no reduction applied yet)

And of course, the punching bag, which is a fellow airplane, 100 hp goes down pretty fast <intended> use esc to revive him, dont worry no flying machines where harmed in this game

The collision system is still being tweaked on
The camera is still being tweaked on
and course the art is still being tweaked on

Saturday is release because tomarrow i wont be home

please note, all triggers that dont have anything in there or is kinda messy means that their not done yet, most of the presets are there because i have not finished the system that links and controles the presets <like the spawn system>

 

[takethat]

can you post the link to the map of this threand and some screenshot

 

[Psiblade94122]

Saturday is release, meaning tomarrow, i will work on the map tonight <its 11 pm atm, mostlikely ill realease it b4 i sleep <which is around 2am>>

as for screen shots, i cant really "capture" any action because i have ONE type of bullet at the moment <which i am currently patching>

[Update Saturday 12:25AM] PlayroomV1 released! The file is attached to the first post!

 

[Ghostwind]

> this one has a better (real) map name and a LOT more details on the map.

The name can be changed. Details can be added. The responses on the other thread are harder to replace.

Merge?

 

[Psiblade94122]

that was posted about a year ago

anyways, update on progress

Added a options system, they are mobile turrets that orbit your ship, they serve as both the anti missle system <damages the missles> and as an offensive if you decide to ram into another airship


Added missles, missles deal massive damage to a single target, upon launch they will fly slowly but would rapidly speed up. The max speed is the same as the bullet's normal speed. Useing this weapon takes skills because of its 1-2 second delay for it to start gaining rapid speed.

Added bombs, Bombs drop below you, this is the only means for you to damage the opponents port and sea ships


Currently testing

A new collision detection system <based off of phenixe fire>

if possible, can anyone give feedback on the playroom? how long did it take you to get a hang of the ctrls and so fourth. also if possible, suggestions?

 

[Psiblade94122]

so when i dont have the map everyone asks for a link, and when i give it to them noone gives feedback.....

The new collision system is finished
New Heat system Finished!

Currently working on Ammo system

 

[Psiblade94122]

Ammo system finished!

Ammo System - Missles have an ammo count, if you push the missles button in your inventory you will buy some for 50g one missle. Useing a missle uses up one charge.

Heat system - Every time you perform an offensive action your ship would build up heat. If you build up enough heat you would catch fire.

Fire - If you cought fire then your ship cannot perform any actions <this includes useing WASD> you will also take damage. If you die in the fire your reviveal time is incresed.

playroom v2 would be released soon!

in the playroom would include the following systems

WASD movement
1st Bullet <changed a bit>
1st Missle
2nd Missle
Ammo system
Heat system
Floating Text
Improved collision system <more effecent>
Creep spawns in center

and a question for everyone

is anyone even remotely intrested in this project anymore?

Had requests to bring back the click move system, so im brining it back <this also means rebinding some keys here and there

 

[Zedzy]

I played it and thought it was pretty cool :thup:.

Just noticed a few things:

1. When you shoot, you can see the bullets in the minimap.
2. The hero has the Mountain King's names

I hope you get a good terrainer.
