A Good Idea or what?

Thu Jan 15, 2004 9:40 pm by Praxzeus

I Have always luved the potential social atmosphere of FreeLancer having multiple systems with dockible planets . However when it comes to the bars on the planets I feel with a simple mod it could be enhanced so much more. For example in multiplayer in addition to having the standard scripted charactors located in the bars also add low/res models to represent each player currently in the room. Also the ability to sit at a table/or the bar and invite players over to your table for a Group chat with the option to trade goods with out having to launch into space. I dont know if this would even be possible or not or if anyone would even be interested for that matter, but I've played 2-D chess games b-4 with a similar type chat feature creating indivdual rooms or tables as they called them. I just thought it may be a welcome chat feature to someones mod if its possible to implement. What say you ?

So you'd boot up FreeLancer just to play chess? Back to the warp you spawned from demon!
Although the multiple bar concept is something I want to get working - it's probably very possible, i've just not even bothered looking into it yet.

No not at all. I just used a poor analogy to decribe my idea, althought that would be a cool lil mini game feature if possible . What I had envisioned was mainly to give the bar more of a sence of purpose for multiplayer, instead of just the same ol scripted figures every visit . Have the ability to see how populated a bar was with a low resolution figure/model "low res to prevent bogging down the game", for each player inside the bar. Really making it nothing more than an irc with icons for players that display their name above their head , with the ability to click on an icon and chat privately, or be able to sit at a table for a group chat and be able to trade goods without having to launch into space. The only way I could think to describe it at the time was like a game I had played with the option to create a table to chat and play at. In the case of FreeLancer it be chat n trade. I suppose sort of like a live sims set-up in a bar atmosphere. It was just a thought, like I said I dont know if it would even be possible or well received.

ThankYou very much for your input
