Hi everybody. I'm going to create Roleplay multiplayer scenario. It sounds loud?))May be, but lately I can't think anything else about))) So, my idea is the following. On the planet there is a small settlement consisting of several buildings. It includes: CloneCenter(spawning location),Main building(the place for administrator(the head of the settlement),meeting rooms, etc.), trading BA (trading with AI is impossible, only between players),the building of geologists,the building of the military,the building of the transport Department, hostel and the mechanical plant. In different corners of the map there are a few farms which grow different plants. There are deposits of ores, but only players of the faction geologists can mine them. A new player appears inside CloneCenter.He has only a few credits. For begining he receives some instructions and then he have to go to work, because otherwise it's impossible to survive. For the first few levels it is possible to work for example on a farm or by collector of wild plants. Then, he can go to work as a geologist, then the driver, then military, etc. There is only one constructor in game, and he is in mechanical plant. The people who works there(or the admin) creates objects and vehicles and buildings in orders for the credits. I told to you just the General idea . You might say that it is cruel and a denial of freedom of action. But why would this idea not have its place as the alternative to the main types of scenarios?
I have a few questions on setting up the playfield.yaml.I would be very grateful if someone can help me) Thanks
Well, cosmic silence. I ask my question, maybe someone will answer at least for him. I need to make all the buildings on the map in fixed positions. So I deleted all POIs in the section "Random" in the playfield.yaml. Under "fixed" I added first 2 buildings: clonecenter (my blueprint) and dronebase(game file). Both of these buildings appears where it needs, but hero always appears in other place in coordinates 0, 143, 0. I want to spawn him in clonecenter. There is a player spawner and a personal locker inside. What I'm doing wrong? And my dronebase does not create drones((. Both POI are powered
custom scenario creation is hard at this stage. This will help: https://empyriononline.com/threads/tool-empyrion-playfield-designer-v1-36-1.9789/
So do the life of Luke Skywalker ! As far as roleplaying scenario's go, Luke, chewy and pals would would probably be a popular download ! Stick a Falcon in as the preview pic ! Anyhoo, your drone base, did you make it ? And does it have a marker block ? And is it set up correctly in the planets yaml ?
...and..I agree that the story of Luke Skywalker will be very interesting to people, but this will be relevant only for a single game. And I want to make a roleplay scenario in MP. I think it will be easier)). The main thing is to close the access to the resources to the economy of the game started to work).
MP scenarios require a lot more maintenance, more updates for MP. SP scenario is easier, almost set and forget.
My scenario for SP is impossible, because to perform each type of works you need a real person. And, as I think, the realization of this idea is not so difficult in MP. It is enough to prohibit players from accessing any kind of constructors and give only a few credits instead of a survival kit after spawn. And it is necessary to give the chance to buy all necessary things for the credits , then process will go itself. I want to make the game which consists of not a lot of personal stories, but the story of one community. If everyone is engaged in part of one big process, then there will be much more interaction between people. Yes, development will be a little slower , but the more fun you can get from the game.
Now i can't find info how to forbid mining near the POIs and near the other fraction player bases in PVP. I need to create stop mining zone around 100 m from any otherfaction base. Could anybody answer me how to do it?
Simply use your server settings to set your antigriefdistance and set it to PVP. Code: AntiGriefDistance: 100 # (Not used anymore) Distance (in m) around a faction's base where no other faction's base can be built # AntiGriefZone: PvP # (Not used anymore) Zone where the AntiGriefDistance is valid (All, PvP, PvE) AntiGriefDistancePvE: 100 # If specified overrides AntiGriefDistance and AntiGriefZone AntiGriefDistancePvP: 100 # If specified overrides AntiGriefDistance and AntiGriefZone. Enable to avoid griefig when using offline protection AntiGriefOresDistance: 100 # Distance (in m) around ore deposits where no other faction's base can be built AntiGriefOresZone: PvP # Zone where the AntiGriefOresDistance is valid (All, PvP, PvE) Not sure if there is a way to modify the loot table or not.
You're very welcome! ^_^ For the constructors, there is a config file in Content/Configuration/Config_Example.ecf that you may use to limit the ability of objects. So, instead of removing the constructors from the loot table (which I am unsure of how to do), you could simply put the Constructors limits to an unreachable state as so: Code: { Block Id: 714, Name: ConstructorT2 Group: cpgConstructor Material: metalhard ShowBlockName: true IsLockable: true IsOxygenTight: false, display: true Info: bkiConstructorAdvanced, display: true StackSize: 1 Category: Devices Mass: 60000, type: int, display: true, formatter: Kilogram HitPoints: 250, type: int, display: true EnergyIn: 300, type: int, display: true, formatter: Watt BlastRadius: 4 BlastDamage: 100 > UnlockCost: 99 > UnlockLevel: 99 TechTreeParent: ConstructorT1V2 TechTreeNames: "Base,Capital Vessel"
Great idea!!! ))) And , what if a player will receive a constructor as loot? He will can use it. What do you think of my idea, anyway?))
I suppose that is true. My other idea was to lock out the required components (such as generator/fuel tank) so they couldn't power it. The alternative is to design it out. Instead of trying to eliminate the possibility of players obtaining a usable constructor, incentivize them not to waste their time because using the one that already exists is more beneficial and faster. Make setting up a constructor so unfeasible and impractical that players would much rather use the one they already have access too, rather than try to find their own and set it up. Some times stopping a flood is just about putting a boulder in the right spot! There might be a way to edit the loot table in the near future, though (still not really sure, just guessing), so that might help come Ver 8.
)))) I was already thinking about how to reduce the speed of craft as much as possible. But then the admin also not able to do it fast)). Players should not have any constructors)). Оnly admin will have it and players will buy from him everything what is necessary.
Hey, we are making something really similar and I think we should work together. You should add me on steam! Private message me. I sent an invite on steam. Admin can use super speed movement, ctrl+shift while moving. (Unless you mean in a vessel) Using that config file, you can make constructors unbuildable by setting their stats to ridiculous amounts like so: Code: { Template Name: ConstructorT1V2 CraftTime: 30 Target: "SurvC,SmallC,LargeC,AdvC" { Child Inputs Computer: 999 SteelPlate: 999 MechanicalComponents: 999 OpticalFiber: 999 Motor: 999 } Just use the Find command in notepad ++ and type in Constructor. It will show you all of the relevant listings and you modify them as necessary. Currently I am setting every thing to unbuildable for my scenario. As for ship speed, you may be able to use these aforementioned ways to set the thruster speed stat. Checking now. EDIT: Looks like you can by adjusting the following "ThrusterForce" line: Code: { Block Id: 1417, Name: ThrusterGVJetRound1x3x1, Ref: ThrusterGVRoundNormal Mass: 800, type: int, display: true, formatter: Kilogram HitPoints: 200, type: int, display: true > ThrusterForce: 90, type: int, display: true, formatter: Newton EnergyIn: 25, type: int, display: true, formatter: Watt TemplateRoot: ThrusterGVJetRound1x3x1 UnlockCost: 9 UnlockLevel: 7 TechTreeParent: ThrusterGVRoundBlocks TechTreeNames: Hover Vessel } Oh, you meant you already tried that but didn't want admin to go slow. Well, that's just how it works -- I suppose. As for the loot drop tables, I did a quick forum search and didn't find any mention of there being any way to modify the existing drop tables. But I did find posts mentioning people desire it to be so! Hopefully in the near future.
