Ooh ooh...at first I was having trouble thinking of how to set up a good team game for L&D.
And now I have SUCH a cool idea.
Ooh ooh!
Now if only I can get it all implemented... (Tonight some time will be spent giving up my EverQuest GM status...we're having a ceremony.)

By the way, it's at 4:00 pm PST, right? I think that works out to 8:00 pm EST... if either of these numbers is wrong, kindly correct me! 4:00 PST = 5:00 MST = 6:00 CST = 7:00 EST = 8:00 AST Bad Guy. Oh, wait, kindly. Uh... bad Guy. =) | |
It's been a night and day of debugging hell to add some of the new features to L&D. But it's been the kind of hell that has taught me some things about BYOND and has improved my code, so I can't complain too much.
Hoping to be ready for tomorrow. Guy T, any chance we'll see what you've been concocting? | |
Hoping to be ready for tomorrow. Excellent... barring any unforeseeable surprises, I'll be there. Guy T, any chance we'll see what you've been concocting? Hmm... there's definitely a chance! If I'm real productive in the next 12 hours or so (well, 6 hours if you don't count sleep), I'll probably put a "sneak preview" on the Hub sometime tomorrow. I don't think it will be fully ready for multiplayer fun until later in the week, though. (You know what would be neat? If someone wrote a little schedule registry that Dantom could easily snap into the Hub code. So you might log in and get something like this, customized to your time zone: Upcoming Events Wednesday, September 13 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm EST: [Deadron] Lwen is at it again! Newbies and oldbies alike are welcome. 8:00 pm - 9:00 pm EST: [Gughunter] After a hard day of killing Lwen, why not unwind by visiting Happy Magical Elf World? I'll wait until 8:15, then if no one shows up I'll post a bitter denunciation to the Forum and start learning C++. 8:00 pm - 9:00 pm EST: [Spuzzum] Don't play Guy's game; play mine instead! Hmm, maybe I could do it and learn the calendar functions in the Deadron Library. But I've already got a game under construction, a tutorial promised, icons to design for the contest... well, sooner or later someone will build it out of sheer necessity.) | |

Well, the only multiplayer game I have is Spuzzbomb... heh, I don't think I actually HAVE played that in multiplayer yet. =) At 8:00 PM EST, I'm eating dinner over here, anyway. =) Hmm, maybe I could do it and learn the calendar functions in the Deadron Library. But I've already got a game under construction, a tutorial promised, icons to design for the contest... well, sooner or later someone will build it out of sheer necessity.) I was actually planning on adding a little scheduling system to my private little BYOND Community project that I basically abandoned. (BTW, if anyone wants the stuff I made, just email me and I'll tell you the "community" key password, the data the key contains in key.txt, and send over what little project code I have. I don't want to work on the system any more, I don't want that key very much, and you can always change the password at any time. First come, first serve, if there's any takers...) (In the foreseeable future, I can see people selling keys like domain names... I'd give up "Spuzzum" for a couple billion dollars! =) | |

Hoping to be ready for tomorrow. I should be there too. I think we'll have a good sized crowd again. Should be fun. I'll try to get the newest upgrade out before we meet up; it has a built-in pager that half-works right now. I don't think I can do it in time, but we'll see. The pager was the last of the annoying pop-ups. The new interface I have in mind should be pretty good, if it isn't confusing. | |
If I'm real productive in the next 12 hours or so (well, 6 hours if you don't count sleep), I'll probably put a "sneak preview" on the Hub sometime tomorrow. Well, I was productive, but I've decided I was a little optimistic, especially after trying the full-fledged, playable, non-sneak-previewesque games tonight. Hopefully later this week... | |
How about letting me be on Commander Flanders' team and just spend the whole game sending condescending messages to everyone from WorldNet HQ? :)
What would be really neat is if you showed up at the ceremony leading a huge train of deadly monsters! Or naked trolls. Your call.
