2. chiefsonny -- chiefsonny -- Alive

How to play

  • There are three rooms. They each have a theme.

  • You have infinite auto-actions and there are no rounds. Do what you want!

  • Collect items, give them to other characters, steal them from other characters, drop them on the ground, etc.

  • All items are weapons. Use them to fight other players or Foes you see in the room!

  • Take Foe turns for them.

  • Pick up special items which are Spears or Bombs or Ammo Boxes and use them as needed.

  • some weapons require ammo -- use the ammo boxes to refill them.

  • Look at your Profile to see what items are and what they do.

  • If you run across something that's a Shield, go to your User NIFE CP to activate or deactivate it.

  • If you die, you're automatically resurrected at max health.

  • The rest of it you can either figure out or refer to this post:
    http://gtx0.com/view.php?post=106106
  • If you need more mana for testing purposes, let me know and I'll make your limit go way up.

  • If you need more ammo or want me to resurrect a dead NPC, or bring a bomb back, let me know these things too.

  • Note that Combat messages are absurdly long (especially bombs). They won't stay this way, but it's good for testing.

  • I lied, I'll occasionally change rounds to clear out old messages for this exact reason.

    Report bugs & ask questions here

    This game is a way of testing the new Sparring System. If you find bugs, please post them here and I'll fix them immediately.

    If you don't understand something, ask me here.

    If things aren't intuitive or you have a better idea for things, let me know here as well.

    Game Achievements

    This game doesn't have any goals, there are no win conditions other than "I'm bored with testing" or "Thanks for your help guys, things work great now and we can do actual games now".

    That said, there's a couple things you might want to do:

  • Defeat the Green Dragon, Balrog, and Kraken

  • Find nine Special Items scattered across the 15 Foes.

  • There are 46 Replies


    Think I found a boo-boo. In the water room is an apparent glitch item called "a fit".

    @Aurelian: that's a real item, just a terrible pun (you'll see why). :p

    @Xhin:How do you equip armor, or is just having it your inventory good enough?

    Not sure if you saw my comments in the other thread.

    I don't think being able to move rooms while in combat makes sense.

    Also my robot suit claims to boost armour but my armour stat doesn't change...

    Other issues I've noticed:

  • the pitcher plant was killed but didn't due

  • alerts don't send right, and need to be sent for spears/bombs as well.

    I didn't even realize this was happening...

    May 24, 2017
    Count Dooku

    @chiefsonny: Having it in your inventory is enough.

    May 24, 2017

    Some fixes

  • Alerts now link to the room you're in

  • Alerts show who attacked you (previously they showed your character name, which was a glitch) and maybe what they attacked you with.

  • Alerts happen when you get attacked by a Spear or a Bomb.

  • Alerts happen every time a player attacks you, not just when a battle starts for the first time.

  • Characters that aren't players aren't automatically resurrected by the resurrection system (that's why you guys have been killing creatures and they haven't been dying). @chiefsonny:

    @Xhin:

    I was in a fight with Dooku and now I am broken...

    All my auto actions result in this error:

    Fatal error: Class 'The_Other' not found in /var/www/html/gtx0.com/engines/Adventure/Sparring/Functions.php on line 17

    Moonray

    And when I say all, I mean ALL. Both combat and non-combat.

    May 25, 2017
    Moonray

    1 min after killing Dooku, he's attacking me.
    Should have waited until the next round b4 resurrection if that's what happened.
    Please restore my 20 health points I lost in this attack from a dead man.

    @Chiefsonny:

    This was in the OP, so I guess it answers both our questions:

  • If you die, you're automatically resurrected at max health.

  • May 25, 2017
    Count Dooku

    @Moonray:

    I was in a fight with Dooku and now I am broken...

    Fixed!

    Also

  • if defense is higher than the attack it no longer makes the damage go negative.

    @chiefsonny:

    Please restore my 20 health points I lost in this attack from a dead man.

    Since it's a test game I wouldn't worry about it -- if you die, you'll also resurrect to full health.

    Mana, ammo boxes, and bombs have been restocked.

    How do you use Stim Pack on yourself?

    May 26, 2017
    chiefsonny
     

    @chiefsonny: The stim pack is just an Attack Boost, and Boosts aren't currently reflected in the Stats area. Sorry for the confusion!

    UPDATES

  • I added some new content :D

  • Items that are used up (bomb, ammo box) now respawn in a random room -- this is an optional system, not a hack or anything.

  • May 26, 2017
    Xhin
    Sky's the limit

  • There are barriers between the old rooms and the new rooms. Cut them down to access the new rooms! (or just go through the existing unblocked portal)

  • May 26, 2017

    So it appears that you can attack a person even if they are not in the same room... moving between rooms breaks into an error unless you attack at the same time for me

    May 26, 2017
    Helius

    Nvm with the room change but you can still attack someone from a different room

    May 26, 2017

    @Xhin:



    You should consider adding a separate 'Game Alerts' tab at some point...

    CARRY LIMITS

  • Characters in this game can only carry up to (6) items.

  • If they take more items than that, steal them, or loot them, they drop a random item to compensate.

  • If you give another character something past their limit, the give action just fails completely with a failure message.

  • If you throw a spear at them it can go over their carry limit without issues.

  • Shared items are not affected (not that this matters in this game).

  • Permanent items (abilities) are also not affected.

  • May 31, 2017

    Why Didn't you let the players decided which items they wanted to keep instead of just stripping them of their items?

    For example you left me with a Sad Drunk.

    Maybe would have been better. It's just a Test Game though -- I wouldn't do this in a normal game.

    Xhin
    Sky's the limit

    @Xhin: Just a personal observation.
    The 6 item limit is not enough. If you plan on crafting, which I assume involves collecting materials and the need to carry weapons and armor, 6 is just not enough. Should be at least 10.
