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

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)

Awesome Fuzzle Guy!
I can't wait for all the new stuff posted here! :D
I need to think of somethings we don't have yet....

BTW I hope the HELP works too.

GlacierDragon 08-12-2008 05:23 AM

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.

Screenshots!

guys, erm when i try to get onto the dream, it always says Sorry, the specified dream is not available at this moment, no matter what the time is. :(

Help!

ABM :p

Fuzzle Guy 08-12-2008 06:47 AM

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.

alf's brother's mate 08-12-2008 07:11 AM

Is this the link we are meant to use?

furc://mredgeworth: oddworld

OddYouko 08-12-2008 08:33 AM

Yup Ajiellyn has it at the top of this page. :)

Sanssouci 08-12-2008 02:06 PM

- 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.

Sorry! Now it works!

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 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. =)

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.

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. :p


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!

alf's brother's mate 08-13-2008 04:33 AM

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!

Fuzzle Guy 08-13-2008 05:32 AM

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

alf's brother's mate 08-13-2008 12:45 PM

I need a hand with creating rooms... when i see stuff designed like the gambling room and the glukkon offices i really feel i need to contribute but im not entirley sure how... :(

ABM

Wil 08-14-2008 01:01 AM

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?

alf's brother's mate 08-14-2008 01:07 AM

Yes thats a great idea max, i like the Infirmary one aswell.

We should have roaming vykkers in this place, just for added effect.

Biggy Bro Slig 08-15-2008 08:31 AM

You've gotta have some vendors in the bar or gambling room. :D

Hulaabeo 08-16-2008 08:41 AM

Omg the Raisen? Tomorrow I'll be there :evil:

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

GlacierDragon 08-18-2008 04:29 AM

Wow, those are really good Fuzzle Guy! I'll have to use on in my sig.

alf's brother's mate 08-18-2008 09:07 AM

Why won't it let me join the dream!?!?!?!?!?

The last 4 times it has said that i can't!

ABM

Munch's Master 08-18-2008 09:36 AM

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.

alf's brother's mate 08-19-2008 07:13 AM

I know I just get rather frustrated when i can't join in with something that is fun :D

ABM

Fuzzle Guy 08-19-2008 08:42 AM

It's alright. You're not missing anything if the dream is down.

alf's brother's mate 08-19-2008 12:26 PM

Thankyou fuzzle guy. A post should be made by a forum member when the server is back up, to alert others who are not already on.

ABM

Fuzzle Guy 08-19-2008 01:15 PM

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.

Sanssouci 08-19-2008 01:35 PM

It's up everybody go go go!!!

Aleks55 08-20-2008 03:23 PM

Ill never be able to see this dream

Fuzzle Guy 08-20-2008 04:27 PM

That wouldn't be because you're a blind mudokon, by any chance, would it?

Aleks55 08-21-2008 02:29 PM

Its up right now hurry, and no its cause its never on, but seriously its on right now

Shadiela 08-21-2008 03:32 PM

Been having some good times I say.

Aleks55 08-21-2008 04:48 PM

weird i saw a pink elum pushing me everywhere probably same person doing joke

horia_roks 08-22-2008 06:08 AM

I can't get out of RF! It's because I'm a Scrab?

Aleks55 08-22-2008 12:03 PM

quit possibly, Fuzzle said to me that only elums can get out, well outside of it theres a slig lock thing dont know if it opens anything since im a glukkon on it

and btw it doesnt unload after 15 minutes when i was the last when on and went off, i made a different character to play as other oddworld thing and it wouldnt let me back so, so it apprently goes off right after the last person leaves

Again i edit this, since i dont want to double post, but its on right now so join in so im not by myself, ill stay on so it doesnt unload

comeone were are you guys, i know most of you arent online but seriously, me and shad, and another pseron i dont know are the only ones here

Wil 08-22-2008 03:24 PM

This thread shall not turn into ‘Hey, I’m online now, hurry here!’ We’ve learnt the fruitlessness of that from OddChat.

Aleks55 08-22-2008 03:39 PM

eh my bad sorry, it just people....and me..complain about it not being on so im just trying to help out

OddYouko 08-22-2008 07:20 PM

Aww I hope I haven't missed a lot on there! :crying:
I couldn't get on the computer all day because of my little brother! He's just so daRn crazy for SpongeBob! D=<

Splat 08-23-2008 07:04 AM

Right guys, from nw on any posts saying 'OMG, I can't get online, OMG OMG OMG!!!!11' will be taken as spam.
Spam makes mods mad.


In other news, just got back from holiday and will get on the dream as soon as I've checked out all the threads/websites with which I occupy my time which have been updated over the last two weeks.
