I also just finished a quick and easy Greeting system.
Basically, depending on how the NPC likes you (5 different ranges), one of 5 greetings will be selected, for a total for 25 different greetings! Some will even greet you by name!
This lowers the chance of repetitive conversation. No Skyrim guards here!
I haven't added in occupation-based greetings solely because every NPC is a person, and will all treat you like a person. If a Guard like you enough (You helped their family member with a Quest, or something), they will greet you like a friend instead of treating you like everyone else!
Now for NPC interaction and finished Family system. Woo. Fun.
Ran another quick simulation of the finalized NPC generation script.
This time with more names. http://sharetext.org/D4P7
I only need to balance out the populations (So it's randomly generated what the "Large" cities are, instead of them being balanced.
I ran the simulation 4 times prior to this.
Only need to add dispositions to each NPC, and it's done ^.^
Honestly, people.
You need to learn to read and stop griping. I said I was adding Factions back.
I'd just need to work out the smaller bugs first, since it degraded slowly.
And to those that stated I "Just threw the plugins in", that would be stupid. I tested them on my home build of the server and everything worked for me. None of these things you mentioned had showed up, or even appeared in the configuration, so I don't know why they are now.
Either way, I said I was switching back, so no need to get so uptight.
It won't be until later tonight. I'm not at home until Monday, and running off of my school laptop. I'll do my best, though,
Hmmm.
I'm looking through the entire configuration...and I see nothing about Power requirements.
Also, it is relatively easy to gain the supply requirements, although the money might be hard. That was on purpose.
As for the protections not working...that's an issue.
I suppose I can add Factions back. Although it was broken and I'd need to fix it first.
Cav, have you visited Voxelsiege? They're another apocalyptic server that uses HeroStrongholds. To be honest, I think they've got a really good thing with them, too. Instead of designing regions around the idea of building towns, each region is a specific type of industrial machine. The most useful one is the smelter - you get together a handful of furnaces and iron blocks, some cobble or obsidian, and a lava source block and HS will let you turn it all into a chest that slowly turns iron bars into ingots in a 4/1 ratio.
This, frankly, is awesome. It means that you can scavenge more than just random sewer chests and zombie loot. Keeping both faction-protecting regions and industrial machines would be possible. If you want a suggestion - disable all of the tool/armor crafting recipes that use diamonds or ingots, and require the creation of a simple herostronghold-based machine to craft them in exchange for raw materials. It's a massive pain in the ass to assemble the materials for each individual machine, but it will turn faction strongholds into more than just giant warehouses that can be packed up and moved in the space of an hour. It can also, theoretically, be used to encourage trade - large factions will be able to manufacture things that noone else can.
(side-suggestion: make all dogs drop leather! Especially if you're going to disable iron/gold/diamond armor recipes.)
That's what we have.
Not all the buildings are for production, but some buildings do pump out items over time, providing you give them supplies (More bread for less wheat, ammo, iron, etc).
Other buildings heal your health or stamina over time, or provide explosive protection, etc.
Also there's been a lot of lag spikes on the server. Chat is always smooth but zombies and players are always bouncing around. I don't know if it's just the sheer number of zombies or what, but it makes surviving much harder
I'm aware of the lag spikes. It's not the amount of zombies...but I'm working on finding out what is it.
I wasnt in water I was standing near some buildings with a full iron set and a full inv, and i started loosing health like I was being atacked by a invisible mob ..
Cav thats ****ing stupid ... that wasn't in the earlier beta I had no idea that existed in the new beta and still I lagged the **** out and died with radiation with full iron set, and a full inventory with items stacked to 64.
Radiation has been there since we put the server out.
It hasn't changed at all since then. I haven't touched the values, or even opened the file.
Nothing is different.
Patch notes;
-Spawns modified.
-New Faction system patched.
-------
Short guide to the new Faction system; 1) All commands can be found with "/hs" and "/hs 2". 2) FIRST THING: Claim a Safehouse. Stand where you want it to be claimed, and type: "/hs create safehouse". Note that within 10 blocks of where you're standing, you need to have 16 Cobblestone, 16 Wooden Planks, and 1 Diamond Block or it WILL NOT WORK. 3) Start a charter. Stand where you want your base to be (MUST be within the Safehouse area), and type "/hs charter safezone <Enter Name of your Faction>". Note that the name MUST be one word. This requires 400 Shards. 4) Have your friends sign the charter. To start, you NEED 3 signatures! They must type "/hs signcharter <Name of your Faction>". Doing so will increase your Safehouse protected zone into a Safezone, and increase the protected radius to 15 blocks. 5) You can now upgrade your area! Building new buildings within the Safezone will allow you to make new areas, and eventually new buildings. Each upgrade is listed as follows;
Each new zone MUST be claimed from WITHIN your Safehouse! Or it WILL NOT work!
If any of the key buildings are destroyed (Currently only through explosives, which are disabled on the server temporarily), then the region will fall, and the center of the building will explode, resulting in further block damage. Make sure to protect the buildings the best you can! Explosives will NOT be re-implemented for some time!
Any further questions or concerns, feel free to ask or comment!
New Faction System;
-Type "/hs" for all commands.
-Factions are now called Regions. To claim a Safehouse Region, you now have to type "/hs create Safehouse <name of your group>".
-BUT...you first need to have one diamond block, 16 wooden planks, and 20 cobblestone to be able to create it.
-A Safehouse is your starter building. You can then claim a Safehouse Region. You need one of these to start the process.
-Once you have a Safehouse Region, you can then upgrade it to a Redoubt, then a Stronghold.
-Each new level requires new buildings. You can attempt to claim it to see what you need specifically.
-After a Stronghold, you can branch out into 4 other options; Military, Medical, Industry, Storage.
-Each leveled up Region has it's own bonuses, and Industry buildings can actually produce goods.
-Each building has a chance of bonuses, as well. Including Health and Stamina regen, and more.
-Building and destroying, as well as fire spread, is disabled in all regions. Explosions are not.
If you have any other questions, never hesitate to ask!
Does this require like a pretty big empty space for these industry buildings to be created? or can you make this in a building and go from there
Provided the blocks are nearby, you can still claim it.
If you happen to find a partially built Warehouse...you can still claim it as a Warehouse (Provided you supply the missing blocks).
I know that Ive been playing in the server first than you do but it wasnt like this. I demand a refund on my items. I had no ****ing idea what was happening, first because I was dieing from nothing and I had armor and second because there was no mob nor player around and I lost all my stuff ..
As Gamegeared and Phantom stated, large amounts of Radiation still bypass low-level armour. And high enough can bypass a full Diamond set.
There's no way to avoid it, you just need to wait until it dies down, or build a GECK (We will be making sponges available for this soon).
Server is back online!
All inventories are intact.
If you notice any new bugs or problems please let us know!
Any questions, just ask!

This looks fun!
From what i observed, MineScape's name is from Runescape. Is it not?
Anyway, trying the server now!
MineScapeRPG is no longer my project, I've dropped development for that awhile ago ^.^
You'll be able to play this one once the server is back online ^.^
I can't wait until the server is public again. Is there any way I could apply for builder status? I would love to do some area-sculpting and building customization. (Cityworld tends to make parks that are flat and lack lakes. I can fix that quickly. I can also toss in a few civil-defense-style fallout shelters in the basements of different buildings.
Both have already been well taken care of ^.^
We are currently in the process of just building the spawn building and adding a few shops here and there ^.^
Cheers, anyway!
---------
In other news, it's been confirmed. The lag is essentially 100% gone.
BUT...
I ran into another small, annoying problem I'm still working to fix.
Basically, every now and then, the entire server lags up for about 3 seconds, then goes back to normal.
I have NO idea what's causing it, but I'm working to fix it.
Server is temporarily whitelisted while we add the shops and quickly build the spawn.
It will be back online later tonight, fully playable with no whitelist.
Okay. Here's what's going to happen in the update;
-I'm keeping every player inventory file of 600 bytes and over. That generally means they actually have something in their inventory.
Otherwise, I'll have to transfer over 10000 files. This shrinks it to just under 1000.
So if you DO lose your inventory...I'm sorry.
Though, to be fair, you probably won't if you've played recently. But again, if you do, sorry.
Ask one of the Admins and we might reimburse you with a few items (We can't give you your inventory back, or give you the same items you had.)
-The map will be 3000x3000, instead of 1200x1200, and have much more varied terrain.
-Shops will be in varied locations, as well. They won't all be in basements.
-The entire Faction system is changing. All previous Factions will be deleted, as we are no longer using Factions. The new system is much better and will be explained completely.
Any questions or concerns, feel free to ask.
As a bonus, we'll make all Release donations now available for Beta 3.
If you donate for something in the Credit shop in Beta 3, you will get it as soon as we can give it to you. PLUS, you will get it again during Release!
We need a good amount of donations before the 1st or the server will have to go down.
As a final note...the lag is officially gone. We've fixed it.
hmm...you could just call it "Non-elemental" if you so desire, and yes...it would bypass magic defence
as for void...well, take it or leave it, I guess...you can edit it to fit, but remember that it is basically a counter-elemental, counter-magical element...I suppose what you could do is add a "Void" rank to armor, as, from what I understand, an element such as this would best be used for armor, for defensive purposes...
if you do make it a type of armor...make it EXTREMELY rare, got it?
Ah, alright, I got what you mean ^.^
That makes more sense, and I could most definitely add that in, or at the very least something similar.
