Z-points

[Iyouboushi]

I'm finally getting around to adding in the Z-points and what they can be used for. Basically it works like this:

The MUD is going to become a place where you can fight monsters (not players). You can only fight monsters that are the same level as you or higher (meaning if you're a level 3 you can't go around killing level 1 monsters). Once you win a battle you will receive a Z-point. Z-points can then be taken to the Z-point Store in Crim to be traded in for training sessions. It's not going to be cheap though. To prevent people from power-leveling their characters like crazy, the lowest training session (just one) will cost 100 Z-points while the highest (the Super Training Session) will cost 1,000.

If you lose a match against a monster, the monster will be 100% healed and you will lose 1 Z-point, so be careful. Note that monsters will generate their health back slowly (hopefully anyway, 90% of this is all theory right now, it depends on how much lag it generates). Also there will be TWO regeneration tanks in the land: one at Krillin's Inn and one at Capsul Corp. There may be new locations later but you will have to scout them out and find them (but at the moment, it's just those two).

One last thing: there will be no techniques in the MUD. First off, it's just too much for me (have you SEEN tech.ini lately? Trying to convert that over would be the end of me) and second, it might make it a little too easy.

Hopefully it will keep players busy or entertained while waiting for quests to happen. Plus you will benefit if you are dedicated enough. I will be updating the GUIDE once I have everything programmed into it and working.

I figured I'd post updates to how the implemention of Z-points is going. As of right now (1:24 AM) here's where it stands:

Shop commands are finished.
You can now trade in the Z-points for training points. There's only one store at the moment and it's located in the same are where the dojo is in Crim.

Regeneration command is finished
You can now regenerate. There's currently only two tanks located right now (as I stated above): one in Krillin's Inn and one in the Capsul Corp. lobby (which may move soon into its own room once I get around to making the rest of the Capsul Corp. rooms).

Monsters can now be found in the MUD
There are only a few monsters (Saibamen at the moment) found in the MUD. However, you will reconize them because their names will show up in red. Let me give you a little hint for when you go to kill them: green will be level 1 and 2, yellow will be levels 3 and 4, red will be levels 5 and 6, and black will be level 7+ (I havn't figured out how many colors I want to have just yet).

NOTE: You CANNOT regenerate OR fight while a quest is going on. It's so that you cannot cheat.

There are no fighting commands just yet. They will be coming soon (I have to do this in stages to make sure everything works okay). More coming soon.

now I can do stuff when there is no one around to talk to and gain insane levels.. mwuahahahaha...

It's all finished.

There is now a fighting system in the MUD. Granted it's not the greatest I've ever made, but it works for what it's meant to do: generate Z-points. Basically it works like this: You find a monster (names in red) and then you can fight them. To fight type attack <monster name> (minus the < >) or attack <monster name> with <weapon name>

You will see something like this:

<Iyouboushi> attack green_saibaman
<Dai_Kaiou-shin> Iyouboushi does an uppercut to sending them head over heels
<Dai_Kaiou-shin> You cause 256 damage to green_saibaman.
<Dai_Kaiou-shin> green_saibaman charges its ki, becoming stronger for the next round.



Here's some help: Green Saibamen populate the fields outside of Crim and north of the beach. Yellow Saibamen have taken the Crim forest as their home. Red Saibamen have decided to hang out in the swamp.

The rest will have to be found by looking.

Enjoy.

Cool, finally getting them used. ;D

And yeah, good lord that tech.ini is insane.

I should try it out once I get the net back Thursday.
