EQEMu Mod *The War of Shadows **

[Zio]

* I didn't know which forum to put it on, you can move it if you need Mr. Dev :D *

This is an explantion of my MOD of EQEMu/EverQuest and also and item request, the request is at the bottom:

For my EQEMu Mod, I need some items done if someone could do this for me i'd pwn love them lol. Pwn LOVE, thats right.
Explantion of my mod:
** The War of Shadows **
Its a war were Honor and Dishonor fight, this fight has been going for thousands of years and it consists to keep going. People have tried to stop it by building great armies and trying to destroy one of the sides. Well as you guess
they have failed and it has been a defend attack system as for that. There are 6 connected zones:

Freeport (Dishonor) -> East Commons (Newbie Mobs/Attackers/Dishonor Guards) -> West Commons (Medium Mobs/Attackers/Dishonor Guards) -> Kithicor Forest (Uber Mobs/Attackers/Dishonor Guards and Honor Guards around the Forest) -> (The Rivervale zone in hole) Qeynos Hills (Newbie Mobs & Medium Mobs/Attackers/Honor Guards) -> Qeynos (Honor)
The zones that are in the way and not listed I am trying to insert a way so when you try and get near the zone it fears you away and if you resist it it sends you away (#goto locs out) and emotes The twisting trail ahead sets an afraid feeling as things are watching you, you turn around and run).

Commands:
You can't goto, zone, summon items, search items, #castspell, etc, etc.

Starting:
When you start you get some cloth and the first weapon. When you kill someone you get 1 point, if you kill a person on your team you get 1 negitive and a big faction drop. Killing an opposing you get minor faction and well, yeah 1 point :P)
To buy misc items: spells, food/drink, etc. you exchange points for money.
You can also do exp quests with points. You exchange points for exp.
Every 5 points you get 1/5 of next status. It changes by 1 every status.
IE: You kill 25 people you get one new status. At that point you go to your class trainer and you get a new weapon, new set of armor, and a new title.
Then it changes to 5/11, you need to kill 30 people this time. You keep going till your part of the high status. You can only be king if you keep fighting and directing commands, otherwise after 1 day without killing 5 people you lose your status and drop down to a Commander. (or something, i need to rename alot of the status)

Each high rank gets a special item, but i'm not gonna ask for you to make them so you don't know what they are, i'll add them myself.

Your name turns purplish (color of your faction) when your a traitor, your name is yellow on honor and red on dishonor. When your a traitor, your faction is low with opposing faction and KOS to your former. Your an outlaw when your name is White and both factions hate you.

I'm gonna try and put NPC's in so its not blank when people aren't playing or your the only one.

I need someone to make these items sense I suck at item making:

[Zio]

Post comments or what you think I should change or add. If your making the items, please make them legit. I want this to be fair, by the sounds of the items you can tell how they get better and worse. I dont want like +127 to all skills gay armor or weapons. Because thats just lame. Just trying to make a fun mod. :D

Will post a screenshot in a bit.

[killspree]

What quality do you want the better items to be? I can work on something now if ya want. :)

[Zio]

Qaulity... well I want them to upgrade. Like, say the starting sword is like 5 dmg 39 delay +1 to all resistances. The next weapon in status would be like 6 dmg 36 dly +2 to all resistances. And just keeps upgrading. Get what I mean?

[Zio]

BTW, A bunch of people, well if a bunch of people do this, i'll take the best one. So please don't make it crap :D I'll give you leadgmz0r on my serverz0r once i get one z0r and ill stop the z0r and you can get level 50 with high rank.

I also forgot to my mention. Its a level per kill and adds one every level. IE:

level 1 - 2 = 1 kill
level 2 - 3 = 2 kills
level 3 - 4 = 3 kills
level 4 - 5 = 4 kills
level 5 - 6 = 5 kills.

So you'll be level 5 once you get your next rank.

:D

[killspree]

What are the marks for btw? I've got an idea for some of the higher quality items using them if they're rewards for kills. :p

[Zio]

Marks are to show status or something about your history. Those are just some examples. When I get the DB i'll sit down and add more items. They go in ammo slot, if your an archer it goes into primary or secondary. I don't know how i'm gonna give out muh hex editted eqgame with all the new names for the race/classes sense i dont give out *warez* and there isnt a patcher system yet. But like, Mark of the King is to show you are the king and it also has some special stats for the king.

Mark of the Shadow Lord (right click effect: shadow) +1 str +5 agi +3 dex +5 sv diease/magic/poison

And so on.

[Zio]

Going Diablo II stupid right now, when you kill someone you recieve an ear LOL

Ok.. maybe not :D


You recieve ear of Shawn319. :rolleyes:

Shawn319's Ear (level 2) <- NUB :D

[zeman4323]

I can make some of the items, I want a mark for my self too, LOL:) :)

[Zio]

As I said people, everyone please try and make it. If a bunch of people make it, i'll use the best, and add marks for everyone who made a db.

[Zio]

Looks at the empty room and yawns...

Oh well looks like i'm up to making the crappy items.

[killspree]

I'll make them now if ya want. Got kinda occupied last night with other things. :p

[Zio]

Make and post them please :D

And people this isn't just a make items thread. I'm taking ideas.

[Ariak]

Mark of the Ariak *( Ariak can get an uber mark )* lol


Hahah! I will DL it when I get home, today. And, look into it.

[killspree]

Almost done with the items hehe. Making a few final tweaks today and then they'll be done. Hard to make that many items from scratch trying to keep them balanced. :p

[Zio]

Woot killspree :D

[Zio]

Ok the Marks... I figured out what i'm gonna do with them. I'm gonna make it so when you reach a certain ammount of something it gives you the specific mark. Then when someone goes higher it gives them the mark and you lose it, so your gonna want to keep up with whatever mark you have, the more marks you have the better. I'm gonna try and make a command to see what marks you have, I.E.:

/marks Zi0

Zi0 has 4 marks.
Mark of the ...
Mark of the ...
Mark of the ...
Mark of the ...
---------------------------

To get a mark and to raise to get it you must do like.
say... Mark of the Merchant

You have sold the most items to players ...mmm


Then someone sells one more then you do, they get the mark. I probably will try and make it so everyone gets a bag that they cant delete or move (i dunno if thats possible but its worth trying) and it fills it with marks; the only way you can move it is range and the bag.
*Note*
To clear some confusion up, the bag in range sounds stupid somewhat, well it will be like, pouch of the symbols. So it won't be that gay ... stop making fun of me! :D

If anyone has any ideas or dislikes about what I just said please post. I try and make it fun and better, not to make it worse and a dreadful piece of crap

:)

[killspree]

Hmm, I'm not sure bags can be put in range slot...have you tried it yet?

[Hmm]

i dont knoq if its even useable any slot other than inv and are a bag?

[killspree]

Ok, I got the VERY basic items done. Should be items that take characters up to around level 45 or so, along with bags, food, drink, beer, etc, and the marks you listed. Click here (http://killspree.5u.com/shadowsitems.zip) to download the sql. I can make shields too if you want, as well as higher level items and class specific items.

Only a few of the marks have effects on them, but do with them what you want. :p

[killspree]

Bleh that link doesn't work. Attaching the file hehe, only 10kb so shouldn't be much of a problem. :p

[Zio]

bleh, been busy with counter-strike lately. Anyways, i'll look at it right now. Good work.. well so far ;)

[Zio]

lol 3 people downloaded these?! :eek:

these are mine :D lol

ok, the only problem with the items, any items under number 1000 will be put as bogus, so pretty much they need to be 1000+. And thats cool because i'm not using any items but the ones i'm using for my mod. I added a mark for you. Its looking good man :D Thanks Killspree.

[Zio]

Ok version 0.1 is almost ready. I'll get it in by late afternoon saturday.

[killspree]

Ah ok I'll update the items on my side with 1000+ numbers hehe. Didn't know that anything below would come out bogus, now I know why I got that trying to check them out under 3.1.1 ;)

[Zio]

Its like 1-999 then 40,000+ i think, shrug. Verant can't add anymore items pretty much they are running out of space ;)

[Ariak]

Own item! Muhahah!!

[Zio]

And so its true, Ariak is crazy :D

Sorry about the delay, i'm still learning alot of C++ so I'm having trouble on a few parts. But it's coming along, still waiting on items though :D

[killspree]

Want me to add more items? :p

[Zio]

:confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:

Adding more will just add into the error thats already in the way.

[MiNdLeSsSpAcE]

if you're absolutely desperate i can help out with making items or placing spawns... or if ya wanna laugh histerically at me, (i know how many people would looooooveee this) i could even dabble in pathing to give your guys cool marching effects or something =P.



like i said... IF you're desperate.

[O6scured]

you even have the code written off for all of this?

[Zio]

Before you start acting like a flamer.

I actually have done alot of it. I'm waiting for a more stable release so I can actually get in and test. And if you have a problem with that, take no interest in my project and leave the idea, It's not much a loss for me if your not here, or anyone. I'm doing this to learn. Why, because maybe I don't know alot of C++ and if you do and your making fun of me; good for you. I don't care.

As for the items, i've already updated them, fixed, renamed, restated them in a version of upgrading, also adding alot more to it. And i'm not desperate for them.

Lata,
-Zi0

[Zio]

If your good enough to add marching effects to pathing, I would talk to an op about being a programmer. EverQuest pathing programming is hard.

[O6scured]

not flamming just asking ;)... Had my own ideas of mods but not c++ skillz >=)

[stormgod]

just a thought did you finally released your 30 megs quest package ? I was away last month and I was wondering

[Zio]

Nope, I asked them to make some commands so I could finish it but I never got a responce in irc or over email, or over... 2 message board posts (guessing they were really busy), I don't like releasing unfinished stuff. Maybe someday when a dev isn't busy and could talk to me about making some more quest commands, i'll fix it up, or I could arrange a time with someone to work on it with some people, because it's not completely all done.

I've also been away for quite some time. I haven't played eq live in a few months so alot has changed, so I dunno if I could finish it myself.

Some commands such as, random timed text. A time trigger when an npc says something in text. Well emoted in white text.

Example:
A Forest Giant stumbles upon a treestump and growls at the pain. (of course thats not one, but their are some out there)

Also there is triggered text events. When you walk over an area or such text appears.

Even the, if you duel in a zone you get DT'd (Necropolis).

There are alot more out and i'd have to compile a list again because I gave up trying to ask them.

[Zio]

Hint

This would be a good time for a dev to see this. :)

I'm not mad at the devs. I'm just dissapointed I spent a few weeks typing out the quests and I like finishing and releasing things that people find useful. Spending more time asking the dev's for some simple commands to finish this then typing it just really put me down.

[kathgar]

What commands do you want? I'll work on them

[Zio]

The ones I listed would be very helpful, their is also. Hand in more then one item.

Then reading what character number handed in what item if it needs more then one item, so it saves the information.

Uhhh, there is alot out there I can't think of em all. I'm sure somebody can help me think of some.

Oh yeah, if someone drops an item next to an npc, and they pick it up. They say something like.
" Goody! I find some junk. "

[MiNdLeSsSpAcE]

i'm sure that all of you know of the little bar in freeport with the singing bards... we should have an ogre that sings that one song Homer was singing one episode.. whatever the song is called.
"Yummy yummy yummy I've got love in my tum-my and i feel like lovin' you!"

[Zio]

Let's not get off topic.

[wurmslayer2k]

Lol kat burger is soo funny :P

[MiNdLeSsSpAcE]

it's not "off topic". he wanted little auto-message things and this could be one.

[Zio]

I understand the message.

But no,
The image is a waste of space on the forum.

[morpheus014]

Any eta on this? really neat idea for the EMU...

[Zio]

When theres a stable enough release that I can work on it.
The current version I can't use, and I don't have a server so I can't use the minilogin. So i'm lucked out until a stable release and a minilogin.

[Zio]

Good News:
I had this backed up, I reformated. Now we just need a minilogin and win9x zone file to have a server to test the stuff on :D

[Zio]

The progress on the win9x is making me happy :D

I've been reworking out some ideas.
So far this is what I have:

1) When you start out (every class/race) your a peasent (A problem with that though*)... and you have to work your way to level 10 (maybe a starter quest which is pretty long <travel across the land of nothing** and do something and kill someone> then at level 10 you go to your town and you talk to an appropriate npc of what you want to be. and it'll permaclass you, and you'd get a bag full of items.. like a suit of leather and a weapon appropriate to the class you picked. Then you get a title such as Druid, Warrior, blah; for whatever you picked. Every 10 levels you get a new title. ( I looked around the internet and found some MUD class titles.. lol <- lame.. good enough for now.

* When you start you of course make a character with a class. So you'd have some restrictions and giving out an editted file (for the class images) would be illegal. If anyone has any suggestions or ideas on how I could work that out so they are just plain.

** The Land of Nothing (needs a new name) is the mid point of the fight.. I worked out some changes.

http://zi0.boggletech.com/wos/lands.jpg (sorry about the mspaint lol)

1 ) This is the "Good" Side.

2 ) This is the land protected by the "Good" Side

3 ) This is the mid point.. its unprotected by both sides (The heavy duty war zone)

4 ) This is the land protected by the "Evil" Side

5 ) This is is the "Evil" Side.

The zones aren't going to be normal connected as there isn't a good zone path like that. I have some ideas.

I'm guessing this will be an longterm project for me sense there isn't a server I can test on yet. (i'll have it once win9x comes out sense I had to downgrade) Just giving sort've an update.

I'm gonna be making a website for info on it sense I don't want to waste forum space.

[Zio]

Oh yeh.. comments and ideas are appreciated :D

[Ariak]

Wow!

[DeletedUser]

Wow!

hehe...

I guess its sort've like an original good vs evil war.
