Star Trek Based Game

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 12:47:35 +0000

As it stands I have noticed the birth and fall of many people claiming to be in the works of making a Star Trek game and being the Star Trek nut that I am I have started working on a side project in hopes of creating a sort of RP type Star Trek game using more current ranking such as Voyager rather then older running versions.

While the game will be heavy on text based because of the fact it is RP I do plan on making a full layout of a ship and so long as I can some how get the icons needed I will make a ship that can be walked deck by deck or atleast in major areas as well as some planets and starbases with missions among other things.

Basic idea of what I plan on doing is creating a few ships to start along with a few planets and maybe one or two starbases once a user is dropped into the world they will be a cadet fresh to starfleet where they will study skills and pass tests until they manage to get a job on a ship to start most ships will hire random people until they build up ranks via away missions and ship based missions until one person is handed captain of the ship from there they will be able to hire and fire any crew they want so long as there is a vaild reason RP wise.

There will be a strick rank based command and as the game progresses each user will work up the in ranks not everyone will get captain but with any luck as the game progresses and I get icons I will make other races as well as more details at some point captains will be handed missions from starfleet where they will fly to other zones battle in space at some point and make away missions to planets and what not.

Its going to be a VERY long project being a single coder but so long as I can get the icons in order I think its safe to say there wont be much limits on what will happen with the game.

Im hoping that at some point the game will have a group of random races and leaders that will manage peace between the respected races while fighting npc races such as the borg and creating a large scale RP type star trek game with a ranking.

If anyone wants to help feel free to look below at the end of this page for contact details. I dont really need coders at this point in time because I can do most if not all of the coding myself its mostly icons that will be the pain I have made some stupid shapes as place holders for icons and have already started coding.

I will no doubt have a working simi demo of the starting systems within id say a few weeks here im not even sure where to start there is such a large amount of possible things to code. From weapons to scanners to computers. Ill no doubt start with a transport system and make a place holder for a ship or maybe a holo deck for training... I have no idea at this point it will come together as it moves along but the project wont get off the ground without some icon help.

Allowing non-members to send page to members that allow it.

I use to have my settings set to allow non-members to page me because they let me know when the servers screwing up that way but lately I have noticed non-members cant page me and I cant find this setting any place on the page or website anymore...

Was it removed and if it wasnt how do I make it work again?

Old school Byond?

Wed, 15 Jul 2009 00:32:57 +0000

Haha I was digging around my old screenshots and looky what I found...

Edit: Seeing as this webpage has a log of it thats interactive might as well link that its better then an image. Thanks Kuranudo!

Well we will see...

Wed, 17 Jun 2009 00:40:31 +0000

Well it will be funny to see how this plays out. Without bashing anyone or throwing around a bunch of details in short someone has done a review then was banned from said game for breaking rules then said person attempts to remove the review because of personal reasons not because the review was incorrect.

So with that being said we will see how BYOND deals with the whole thing and see what happens. I do not plan on bashing anyone for what they do just saying how it will be fun to watch how it really plays out.

On another side note the last server crash PRPR had was a really nasty one for anyone that did not hear and do care. A large number of files were damaged in the shutdown it would seem so we are still in the works of recovering from that and with any luck we will be back up and running at full power shortly.

Im not really sure WHAT happened but from the best that I can pertain at this time is after I closed the world I turned off the server before the world could finish compiling everything back to normal thus creating a massive gap in the files and damaging a number of them.

I need not go into all the details of what was lost and damaged but needless to say it has been a pain in the butt to repair it all. On another side note the server is running smooth once again after the CPU issue was fixed.

Another few updates on PRPR the forums have been fixed of the few security holes we had that were allowing people inject scripts into our forums. This in itself is a huge weight off my back just because of the fact I was pulling up backups every other freaking week because of it.

Im working on a new website for PRPR itself however with that being said its still in closed testing. The update with any luck isnt to far around the corner I myself can't really say it for sure but I think if Sirus puts his mind to it the update will be closer then everyone things but again this all up to Sirus.. No stress right?

Only time will tell where the game will go but I will keep on hosting and with any luck we will pull out of this.

Points of view

Fri, 10 Oct 2008 21:42:46 +0000

Ok on the note of my post before this one. I said the staff was lazy and went at it rather hard. An got points of view from many people and lots of people adding there own comments.

So let me go and define this a bit more im not going all out saying the staff does nothing however the point I was making is that stuff like this could be avoided rather easy with a few extra hands. I myself would work for free to help mod byond if offered. However there are no attempts to even do that now I can understand them being busy but there are people that have been on byond from as far back as when it started that still help out today...

They could just as easy put someone like that in charge of staffing a group that mods the site for free. An you cant sit here and tell me its not done almost every last game on byond has atleast one other Admin that didnt even help make the game and works for free. I can name a few million forums that have mods that work for free so why cant byond attempt something like that.

It is true that they have better things to do with there time but this no hands on for a service people pay for really doesnt go down to well... BYOND has a lot of retards that dont pay for the service but dont have any trouble running around abusing the service people DO pay for an what makes it worse is they dont even get a slap on the hand.

Now I could understand if there was some kind of system to give them a slap on the hand but as it stands you only get banned from a hub that someone else pays for that you dont really even plan on coming back to. That is like running around a gay forum calling everyone fags an then crying the next day because you were banned from a forum you use all the time... Like hello who in there right mind would run into some place act like a retard so they get banned from it only because they plan on coming back....

Something needs to be done so that people that abuse the system other people pay for get into some sort of trouble. Maybe a report system where it checks for words repeating more then three times or lots of cursing and if you report it they auto get banned from the byond website for 24 hours or something!

As it stands this retard that spammed my hub gets away with it an just doesnt get to come back woooh so scary. I wish real life worked that way I could go rob a bank for a few billion and then not get into any trouble and just be totally banned from going inside that bank woooh.. I think I can sleep with that.

Give me a break and all you people that are running around yelling thats not right just use the options they gave you to delete it an be done with it. I could do that but its not the point the guy still gets off free without even a slap on the hand all he gets is a ban from a hub he didnt even plan on coming back to like wtf is that.

BYOND Meh...

Mon, 28 Jul 2008 10:02:11 +0000

Sometimes I am left wondering what runs through peoples minds... Honestly I didnt even want to make a post on my hub because I didnt want to start some huge issue with people that I know are putting a lot of work into the website and program so that we can keep on having fun on our games BUT!

There comes a point where you got to put down a foot. BYOND cant watch everything this is true and I can't blame them but they could try taking steps to cover as much ground as possible. BYOND has always been about its community however what do you do when all the retards flood the community and drive the good people away... One would thing you ban the retards but most of the people dont even get a slap on the hand on byond.. It is rather rare to even see it happen.

The help section of the website from what im understanding at this point is run by the community but if thats the case why not have some of the community be put on the staff to help mod the community rather then keeping it limited. It be easy to hire a few hands I mean hell most games on byond do it you dont see anyone on byond being paid to help staff and mod a game... They do it for free not because they need to but because they want to.

Now many of you reading this might be wondering what the hell im talking about... Well im talking about the comments left on my hub here. http://www.byond.com/members/ Ac19189?command=view_comments&post=38804#comments Now yes I can ban him from my hub and delete his posts but then this dude gets off free with only a ban from my hub.. I dont know how many of you would act but if it was me spamming I could care less if I was banned from a hub if I really cared about going to the hub I wouldnt have spammed it to start with how is being banned from something you dont even plan on coming back to a slap on the hand...

It isnt an from what iv seen people that get reported only get reported because of a racist comment other then that all other comments go ignored even if the persons spamming up hubs with cursing or other stupid crap.. How is it people can go on a hub leave a page long post of nothing but the word FUCK YOU and get off free like it never happened but the one person that leaves a comment thats racist such as I dunno "I dont like jewish people" gets banned from the website for a few days because hes racist against jewish people what the hell is wrong with that... I dunno EVERYTHING...?

If anyone wants to join on in feel free to comment this post or my good friends post or even our fourms... http://www.byond.com/members/ Perpetr8rthePerpetu8r?command=view_post&post=45872

List of games abusing the search engine among other things

Sun, 10 Feb 2008 09:34:37 +0000

As I said before there are a lot of games that abuse the fact that byonds search system searchs the whole hub an not titles or tags. So heres a list of some games that abuse this to have there game pull up on more searchs. Even if its not related to the game. Also note how some of them are by the same person.

http://www.byond.com/games/Sechkiesx/BleachMoonlightWar
http://www.byond.com/games/Sechkiesx/NarutoShippuuden
http://www.byond.com/games/Sechkiesx/ DragonBallGTChainsOfDarkness

http://www.byond.com/games/Sechkiesx/AvatarDeathOfTheNations
http://www.byond.com/games/Sechkiesx/ZeldaTwilightPrincess

Here is one of the hubs i was talking about in my post before about abusing the tags thing...
http://www.byond.com/games/DBZPOozaru/NarutoTheBijuuWar

I also noticed a few games using a menu that have a look for these games an though its nice of people to share an recommend games a hub really souldnt be the place for it.

I also got into contact with some of the game owners on the list an the ones I did ask said they didnt even know about the menu bar. So that leads me to believe that who ever is putting them up on there hub they are doing it for there own personal reasons.

http://www.byond.com/games/LordNikon1991/TheVergeOfTwilight

Also I think there really be a rule that can be used to flag people that just use hubs for ads like this one.
http://www.byond.com/games/ByondError/AllDayHosting
I mean im all for people playing around with ideas but the hubs are ment for games not ads.. However correct me if im wrong in this case please...

Heres a yet another thing I have posted on thats annoying MYSPACE CSS BLAH!

http://www.byond.com/games/Shanesimms14/NarutoQuestforPower
http://www.byond.com/games/Jjs3jamie/DragonBallZDimension

an this myspace layout screws the byond template all to hell...
http://www.byond.com/games/CodyWIlkins23/ BleachOrganizationWars

I mean thats just a few all you got to do is put the search engine to use try searching myspace just about any myspace based css will pop up its head. As a note I used all games to find dead hubs too. The amount of usless hubs that are on byond is prob why lags byond to hell honestly...

I was able to find more then 1000+ hubs that were just nothing at all just the same text as the desc or games that have never been released or will never be released or games that have been closed etc. Honestly I think its time for byond to clean house xD Maybe wipe any hub that hasnt been active for more then like six months or something!

I dont know it just seems like a huge waste of server power to force byond to load hubs from games that arent even there an will never be there. The database must be huge from all the junk iv found. I bet a large amount of byonds database is just junk. :\

Stupid People...

Sun, 03 Feb 2008 23:22:46 +0000

It really makes me mad when you host a game an give everyone a list of rules to follow in attempts to make your life easy. An they totally ignore you thinking they have some ungodly right to play the game your hosting. I mean clearly they are ignoring you an the rules an your so busy you dont have the time to be on the game every second of your life yet people think you should be. I was hosting PRPR then I got busy with other things so I went on an worked on getting it done checked in on PRPR every few ten or so minutes an every time I come back id have atleast a list of ten people breaking the rules that I just clearly yelled into there ears ten minutes ago!

I makes me mad that I need to shut down the game just because some idiots have a mental deficiency to anything doing with the rules but I dont have time to GM an people are crying that im not doing my job. Its sad when you think about it but not much I can do about it with the lack of GM's PRPR has now a days I can't just call in staff. An I havent seen to many people that would really be a good GM. So here we sit with no staff on other then myself. I was hoping things might turn out ok but shortly after going afk it was clear how well that was going to work out.

So yah I guess thats the end of my rant... Seeing as I have clearly said everything that needs to be said other then the fact that most people are freaking retards. Half of the idiots that are sitting there being stupid wouldnt go out an break the law so why in the world do they sit there an break the rules just because its a game. Rules are made for a reason not just because people think its something thats fun to wave in peoples faces its ment to keep order. GAH!

Found something else that annoys me!

Sun, 03 Feb 2008 21:10:46 +0000

I cant stand it when you go to a hub an find someone using a myspace layout UHG! That should be flat out filtered I mean its annoying an screw up the website layout time to time.

Nice example is http://www.byond.com/games/Cardoze/DragonballGTHellOnEarth if you note the stupid tag at the corner top of the hub really shouldnt even be there but they know nothing of css so they cant remove it.

Annoying

Mon, 28 Jan 2008 16:05:42 +0000

You know whats annoying when you go to use the search an people post tags on the hub so when you search it pulls up the game even if its not related that is so annoying an I myself think its something people should be able to report an have the hub takin down or changed. Its annoying like this for one for example..

http://www.byond.com/games/Sechkiesx/BleachMoonlightWar

It has right on the hub.

-Anime-
Bleach
Pokemon
Bey Blade
DragonBall Z
Digimon
Naruto
Final Fantasy
Avatar

The only in that list thats even related to the game is Bleach its only a bleach game yet here you are searching for say a bey blade game or something an bam this annoying hub entry pops up really that kind of tagging shouldnt be allowed it just screw with the search engine an wastes peoples time.

An for the record iv seen people go as far as having 100+ tags.
