Hey all!

I have no clue what happened with the RAM card, I had tried unplugging/plugging it back in but it only worked when my dad tried it.

My comp is back and I can upload again. However, you should now use the dreamlink furc://mredgeworth:oddworld! =)

It still doesn't allow me to turn off smilies in posts. :(

I love the ideas of Greeters. They are an NPC I would really like (More than the Mudokons I suggested before.) Just moving back and forward all the time "Hi" "Here Boy" "huhuhu"

I like your Gambling room art Dripik. I did a concept of my own, for the Entrance room:



I used the Glukkon walls and floors that I ripped from the GBA version of MO to edit the current entrance room.

Someone
(gives evil eyes to Wings of Fire) thinks it's too glam for a factory, in particular a Slaughterhouse. But my reasoning behind it was that Glukkons would want to make a good impression on the visitors. Meh...
i beleive this to be the best work ive seen for a week and i give you my renowned virtual pat on the back PAT PAT PAT

Well... thankyou...?

I made this=



I took a screen capture of the train from the Bonus DVD and got the FeeCo Depot. Logo from TOGG.



(And I know it looks it, but that's actually how straight the edge of the train is, I haven't had to cut off the picture half way)

This is all looking really good. I dropped in yesterday and had a look around, I really like what's happened to the meat storage room. Looking forward to the new stuff.

There are no specific times to get onto it... You just have to hope. It's often pure chance when getting onto the dream.



When the native area gets here, all he should do is snore.

- The dream is far too big; there aren't ever enough players on to warrant such a large space with so many redundant rooms.
- A lot of the rooms are too big. One which comes to mind is the canteen, which is enormous. The table closest to the bar is the only one ever used and the room can be reduced in size by about three quarters. (This is the same for many rooms, including the unfinished mudokon sleeping cages, the room of infinite boxes, etc etc etc..)
- The meat storage room with the door to the outdoors is an eyesore and unpleasant to go into. I would remove the weird metal bars/grid stuff hanging in the air and possibly cut down on the scrab meat and barrels to make it less busy.
- The automatic slig snore sound is annoying and should be removed. If I am in the same area as a 'sleeping' slig I have to mute sounds to stay sane, and so I miss any gamespeak
- Playing as anything other than a slig is liable to get you shot annoyingly often. Especially if you're a mudokon, as people will randomly decide to start 'roleplaying' in the middle of a conversation, which means all the sligs (9 out of 10 players) will start shooting mudokons. Having a couple more safe zones might help this, or an option to make yourself immune to bullets.
- It might be worth changing the gamespeak buttons from numbers into words. So instead of pressing the '1' button to say "hello", you'd press the 'hello' button.
- The mudokon stats detailing stamina and amount of times scrubbed comes up all the time when 'following' one, which is annoying. Especially as I don't understand what bearing stamina has on anything, or for what reason we'd want to know how many times they've scrubbed the floor...

Other than that, the whole thing is very good. NPCs would be nice to add a little life to proceedings, though.

(This is the same for many rooms, including the unfinished mudokon sleeping cages, the room of infinite boxes, etc etc etc..)
I haven't had this complaint from anyone, and in my opinion, it's still too small. ;p I measure a room's size according to how many areas there are where one can sit and not hear a person across the room. This is to allow groups of people to roleplay in the same room without disturbing each other. Again, the Mudokon sleeping quarters are located at the corner of the map, so making them smaller wouldn't free up much space for other rooms.


:
- The meat storage room with the door to the outdoors is an eyesore and unpleasant to go into. I would remove the weird metal bars/grid stuff hanging in the air and possibly cut down on the scrab meat and barrels to make it less busy.
The meat room is designed to look disorganized, disgusting-- a 'hell' you don't want to spend a lot of time in. At the same time, all of the mess around provides for hiding spots. =)

:
- The automatic slig snore sound is annoying and should be removed. If I am in the same area as a 'sleeping' slig I have to mute sounds to stay sane, and so I miss any gamespeak
How long have you been hanging around the dream? I have this complaint myself... ("This snoring sound is unbelievably annoying!") I'm still deciding what to do with it, hence the incomplete DS that causes the red pillows to appear. It's still at the front of my mind, so no worries! For now, standing on an object (such as a light, a barrel, or a black pillow) will keep you from snoring.


:
- Playing as anything other than a slig is liable to get you shot annoyingly often. Especially if you're a mudokon, as people will randomly decide to start 'roleplaying' in the middle of a conversation, which means all the sligs (9 out of 10 players) will start shooting mudokons. Having a couple more safe zones might help this, or an option to make yourself immune to bullets.
You can bet your boots this will be changed before the final release. Remember that the dream is still in a heavy construction stage. At one point, I removed the shooting DS because I considered it spammy but the majority ruled that it was boring without it. For now, since it provides for the funnest thing to do at a construction site, it will remain the way it is, but I do plan to make the entire entrance room a safe area next upload.

:
- It might be worth changing the gamespeak buttons from numbers into words. So instead of pressing the '1' button to say "hello", you'd press the 'hello' button.
This is a nice suggestion, but there's a reason for all the small oddities in the dream. For one, the number of DragonSpeak (customized) buttons we can use is limited. In order for 'hello' etc buttons to be used, I would need to have a set for each species (and there are more to come.) Also, I don't think all of the phrases would fit in one tab as nicely as the 1-12 would and it's still a squeeze.

:
- The mudokon stats detailing stamina and amount of times scrubbed comes up all the time when 'following' one, which is annoying. Especially as I don't understand what bearing stamina has on anything, or for what reason we'd want to know how many times they've scrubbed the floor...
Thanks for letting me know that this happens; I had no clue and I'll work on fixing it next time I get. ^^ A Mudokon's stamina is meant to go down as it scrubs, rise when it rests, and drop sharply when it is beaten, although I haven't tested that extensively. You might care more about how many times you've scrubbed when you're overseeing them.


Thanks again for the suggestions guys, keep 'em comin'! For now at best I can tell you what's possible and what isn't. I've gotta go to school now, bye!

Ajiellyn, i just wanted to say thankyou for this fantastic MMOSG, and thankyou to all the people who are contributing to this place.

I would if i knew how!

The ideas are great, the scenery is great, and i can't wait till new areas come out. Is the Rupturefarms style one still the only area or am i really missing out on stuff?

ABM

EDIT: EVERYONE GO ON FURCADIA NOW IM BORED!

There is currently a wildlife area outside the factoory. You need to go through the stockyards to get to it.

Regarding that annoying snoring, would it be possible to just have a single snore sound when someone falls asleep?

I think the lab should be more of an infirmary. That would still allow Fuzzles in cages and Vykkers equipment, and it can be the place you go to if you’re shot. Which reminds me of a question: Is there a way there can be multiple places you go to when you’re shot, and it’s pot luck which one you end up in?

I made some logo's for the MMOSG











These ones have been made specifically to be used as banners (Following the 400 by 100 pixels rule):





Thanks to Imageshack for free image hosting.

(Aji and a few others already know about this, but I thought I would post it here too...)



Munches Master and I think it would make a good "help" bot, disposing gameplay hints "Press F3 to shoot when playing as a Slig"

For the umpteenth time- the Dream is not always up. If nobody is in it for 15 minutes, it unloads and is not available to join. Aji can't upload it constantly after each downtime because she has other stuff to do, like school.

With any luck though, it'll be up soon.

Heh. That would cause this thread to become huge in a very short amount of time... Besides, sometimes it's better when not every single forum member is on the dream... much less lag.
