I agree. The Greeter is annoying. Also, can you add some permanant warp points to the most common locations? The Slig Barracks, The Fuzzle Room, etc. As for the shooting thing, you should only be able to shoot someone once (per minute). So we don't get spam.

Splat 12-14-2009 01:56 PM

I'd say warp points and shooting only once per minute would be pretty rubbish. They would both make any shooting games pretty undoable, plus you have legs! You can walk easily from place to place, particularly by rapidly pressing the arrowkeys, not holding them.

AlexFili 12-14-2009 02:03 PM

I find it pretty difficult to walk from place to place. It just seems a bit big that's all.

Hulaabeo 12-15-2009 11:23 AM

Its actually really easy to walk place to place if you know the dream inside out.

AlexFili 12-15-2009 11:26 AM

Thats the thing though, most newbies don't and I can't see any map :p

Splat 12-15-2009 11:28 AM

You can learn fairly quickly. And, you know, there's always the fun of discovering the secret areas.

If you added teleports it would totally kill the realism.

(Oh, and I'm on the dream right now if anyone wants to come on; it's pretty dull right now...)

AlexFili 12-15-2009 01:51 PM

Trying to get in now, seems like its taking a while to load.
EDIT: Okay I'm in. See you guys there soonish.

EDITv2: I think this should be re-stickied now that we have enough people.

Brief downtime this morning because I had to shut my laptop last night. It doesn't stay connected to the internet when that happens, and the dream ended up going down due to emptiness. It's back now.

I took the opportunity to fix that glitch where using that back hallway of the trainstation to get to the wilderness would get you stuck. The numbers were quite magnificently screwed up. Actually, I haven't re-tested it...

Yeah, who ever heard of teleporters on Oddworld.

Or, if you find them tacky, use wells.

For those who are missing out. Here are some lovely screenshots.

Dance dance!

JEEZ THIS IS FREAKIN AMAZING!!!:D

Now to get on...


My congrats to you Aji. I never thought I would download a furrie game unless I knew this would come :D. Keep up the good work!...now to wait for the dream to turn on...

AlexFili 12-19-2009 06:20 AM

Yeah this is good. Sorry about not being able to stay on the server but I lost my internet connection while I was there.

Guekko 12-19-2009 07:39 AM

I stayed around for as long as my laptop would last...well, I snoozed at 3am but was still logged in, offical laptop freeze at between 4 and 5am GMT. I tried to stay around but the laptop is very prone to freezing. I'll be around today for as long as it decides to last

Ajiellyn 12-19-2009 05:10 PM

Apologies for the downtime. I was flying today from PA to Puerto Rico and, of course, couldn't keep my connection up. The dream's been restored.

The fact that it's situated on a default-ily furry game can be off-putting to some, but please overlook it. I see it as a very customizable little program with low requirements that is accessible to anyone with any computer, and that's what I used it for.

MarsMudoken 12-19-2009 06:03 PM

...figures. My retarted brother deletes the game, I barely recover it, and now the dream doesn't work. Um, Aji? More techy problems? It's weird there are so many...

EDIT: Never mind...

AlexFili 12-20-2009 01:06 AM

Furcadia is only as bad as the person playing it.
Don't like the furry side of things?
DONT GO TO THE MAIN ROOMS.

MarsMudoken 12-20-2009 01:38 AM

This game hates me...

Dryadri 12-20-2009 01:54 PM

Why on earth does it hate you?

Splat 12-20-2009 02:57 PM

What sort of time to you guys get on (inc. timezone)?
Bearing in mind I don't use the internet at weekends (usually).

Dryadri 12-20-2009 03:03 PM

I'm normally around after 8pm GMT, but it can vary, since it's the holidays now I may be on during the day more.

slig# 5719 12-20-2009 03:12 PM

If things stay as usual then when I am able to use Furcadia it would probably be at:
11am - 2pm GMT
4pm - 7/8pm GMT

Although it depends on whether the mythical mobile version is ever released.

Guekko 12-20-2009 03:47 PM

It does depend. I can be found at any time gone 4pm GMT but usually later than 8pm GMT. Any time after that...depends on whether I am awake or whether my laptop co-operates

MarsMudoken 12-20-2009 08:02 PM

Krivzee is sleeping in his bunk. You steal it, you die.

Phylum 12-20-2009 11:06 PM

Shooting is an issue that needs to be re-considered. I'm unfamiliar with the the scripting, but something must be possible.

http://www.oddworldforums.net/attach...1&d=1261382627

This really pissed me off. That was Mars doing all of the shooting except for the person I took revenge on earlier. They continued well off the page, and I could have provided 3 images of the shootings list.

Jordan 12-20-2009 11:46 PM

I hate spam shooting. It's abused by trolls. Mars, you're already quite disliked on here, why make it even worse for yourself?

AlexFili 12-20-2009 11:59 PM

I agree, mass shootings may reflect real Oddworld life, but they do not equate for a fun chatroom experience. Perhaps you can;

1) hide the 'X has shot Y' dialog
2) only allow someone to shoot every 1 minute
3) have a toggle which allows people to shoot (which also toggles god mode off)

MarsMudoken 12-21-2009 01:39 AM

I'm sorry...but it's so fun:)!


ALL HAIL KRIVZEE!

slig# 5719 12-21-2009 02:32 AM

It's all fun and games until somebody gets shot :p.

Seriously though; going onto a social based game and getting shot all the time can't be fun. That's what COD and Battlefield are for :p. Imagine you where immortal, got shot in the face, died, got back up, got shot in the face... Not fun.

The mobile version is apparently Iphone only and won't be free (possibly) so I won't be able to come on for a while

The "*blah* *blah* has been shot!" looks like it could be annoying.
