jamesvm Report post Posted February 8, 2005 (edited) how about in animal section create function so that that if 2 same creature they can reproduce each other. So if person kill all goblin in votd gold cave then has wait day for 2 to respawn again but if don't kill those 2 they they create another goblin evey 1 hours. My idea to bring realised to spawn of creature because as right now it only place you can action get fast and lot of it. Obvasouly more same creater are alive more will spawn. Plus that this way if people kill all same creater for hour then more create so end has hire people bring population under control. So basic idea is add ability for monster and animal to reproduce it self. Edited February 8, 2005 by jamesvm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Experience greed kicks in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
behindthemask08 Report post Posted February 8, 2005 And when the majority of people get offline for the night, you come back in the moring(or after school as in my case) and there is about 50 goblins carmmed in the cave...major lag...so how about no reproduction?

duran Report post Posted February 8, 2005 one could put in a system where if more then x amount of monsters are without a given area then the reproduction stops. still, i think it would be more trouble then it worth... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kami Report post Posted February 9, 2005 Well, I don't Know duran. I've also thought of this too and I would of kind of liked to see this impletemented in some way. Although, I was thinking more like implementing this more as an Event rather then a constant program. Something like the Monster incursion events that were gong to be introduced. Also, it'll have to be something that'll have more meaning to the game and not quite as devastating to the game. Something Like Rabbits, for example, would be perfect for this. Having Rabbits actually keep reproducing instead of having to wait for them to respond would be a little more realistic. And we all know Rabbits! It is highly unlikely that all Rabbits on any given map will be over hunted! But if they were and this was implemented as the normal Spawning system of the game, there are ways to control the population. For example, When any two rabbits meet (like they're bound to do on most maps), A new rabbit will spawn. After sometime and after a certain number of rabbits total exist on one maps at one time, the Program can simply Stop producing them (only Slightly based on reality. after all, an environment can only support a limited number anyway). Then, if the total population of Rabbits on a given map falls below a certain number, the normal Respawn System will respond by spawning the approprate number of new rabbits to be introduced into the environment.

Ormus Report post Posted February 9, 2005 If monster raids/ Excursions happened (Something I like the sound of, but not something for this thread) you could have 3 or 4 random spawns after it as been beaten off, sortof like the straglers left behind or turning up late. But as I said thats something for another thread. As for this suggestion the above idea made by Kami sounds good and would increase the number of raw meat around and perhaps lessen some conflict between Bunny hunters on IP aswell. :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Derin Report post Posted February 9, 2005 One can assume that they are already reproducing. The term 'spawn' is just the modern computer gamer's term for reproduvtion in a game. I don't think we need to go into specifics on this reproduction business. Because if we are Roja will have to make a few more animations...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

freeone3000 Report post Posted February 9, 2005 Spawns are beacuse Mortos' curse over the land. He made everything pop back to life to prolong suffering. That's why they "respawn". Read the Great War, please. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Derin Report post Posted February 10, 2005 Spawns are beacuse Mortos' curse over the land. He made everything pop back to life to prolong suffering. That's why they "respawn". Read the Great War, please. I have read it, but was mor thinking that this applied to PCs and not to animals and monsters. Besides i was speaking in general terms, as every game have some kind of spawns - not all are related to the Great War. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
