  7. Herbs

    Try this out. Could it be integrated into an item called the Herbologists Guide to Herbs or something.
    Names and rarity can be changed. Took me ages to get Deadly Nightshade.

    [php]<?php

    function herbSelect(){
    // use higher numbers for ['rarity'] to make them more common.
    $herbs[0]['name'] = 'Useless Herbs';
    $herbs[0]['rarity'] = 20;
    $herbs[1]['name'] = 'Aromatic Herbs';
    $herbs[1]['rarity'] = 10;
    $herbs[2]['name'] = 'Tea Leaves';
    $herbs[2]['rarity'] = 7;
    $herbs[3]['name'] = 'Toxic Plants';
    $herbs[3]['rarity'] = 5;
    $herbs[4]['name'] = 'General Tonic Herbs';
    $herbs[4]['rarity'] = 2;
    $herbs[5]['name'] = 'Deadly Nightshade';
    $herbs[5]['rarity'] = 1;
    foreach($herbs as $herb) {
    $totalRarity+=$herb['rarity'];
    }
    $random=rand(0,$totalRarity);
    foreach($herbs as $herb){
    $rarityCounter+=$herb['rarity'];
    if($rarityCounter>=$random){
    return $herb;
    }
    }
    }
    $herb=herbSelect();
    echo "You have collected some ".$herb['name'];

    ?>
    [/php]

    Could always just use the Ghost Stone itself.


    [b]MUR: step_lines are too short, need to be more complex or they will be confused with eachother. If it doesnt need "recipie" it can still need "instructions" , same thing tehnically. Fix the lines and submit it[/b]

  14. Resources Question

    in Questions and Answers

    Posted

    Wood resources have been acting like this since implemented.
    I believe it's due to this:

    [Quote][font="Georgia,"][font="Georgia,"][b]Ann. 1586 - [2010-08-10 22:56:18 - Stage 10][/b][/font][/font]
    Land resources will increase always by HALF of their remaining value. This means that the more you depleet them the slower they will regenerate. There is an ideal amount of resources you could gather each day in order to acieve optimal gathering rate. If you are greedy you will get more for the moment but lower than you could get if you take care of that resource and don't let it go to low. This will make team work in gathering guilds more interesting.[color="#cccccc"][/Quote][/color]

  15. Viscosity Thread

    in Work in progress

    Posted · Edited by The Warrior

    The concept of viscosity has not been implemented as I foresaw. Currently, a player can enter a high viscosity area because the surrounding areas are of low viscosity, because it costs base AP + viscosity of current location to move. However, if locked locations are to be unlocked and allow viscosity guard them only, players may be able to enter these locations far too easily.


    One solution to this would be that to move it costs base AP + viscosity of destination. Therefore locations with high viscosity would become inaccessible via the regular way.

    The way I foresaw viscosity working was that to move it would cost base AP + ((viscosity of current location + viscosity of destination) / 2). This allows high viscosity to protect certain areas but with enough teamwork, players can lower the resultant AP cost between the two locations because viscosity would be calculated as an average between the two locations.
    For example, location A and location B are connected by an arrow. Location B was previously a locked location but has now been unlocked with a max viscosity of +100. Location B's viscosity is currently at +98. Location A's viscosity is at 0. Base AP cost of the arrow is 40AP. Therefore current cost of moving from A to B is 40 AP + ((0 VISC + +98 VISC) / 2) = 87AP. Difficult for most players to access.
    However if players worked together to reduce location A's viscosity... Location A's viscosity is reduced to -60. A few players with high AP have been able to get into location B; reducing it's viscosity to +70. Therefore movement cost is 40AP + ((-60VISC + +70 VISC) / 2) = 45AP. Now more players can access location B further reducing it's viscosity and effectively breaking the natural seal of the location; until the location falls again into disuse.

    The above is completely hypothetical of how I would wish to see the concept develop. The example given has no current relevance, just how I thought it would work from Mur's explanation of viscosity locking locations.

  17. Viscosity Thread

    Fitting in with the new viscosity could there be a day (perhaps 1 a season) where viscosity in locations such as Labyrinth, Tribunal (not places that are currently locked) where viscosity has no effect on AP cost. Things would go back to how they were before. I imagine the day called "Day of endless flow" or similar.
