for those really hard mafia-types you were talking about, it'd be cool if he also had gangs of people show up if you try to kill it, cause you know the mob runs deep

Well really, we are planning to make it so money is ALWAYS being used. Doing so, by making sure that almost everything on the server is perishable. With this, I'm assuming that much more money will be used and will always keep players on the go to keep getting money in order to keep doing whatever it is they are doing. It will all take a bit of time to figure out exactly how much x should cost, or how much x should get from doing x heist, so on and so forth.. Hopefully once we get a Beta up and running we'll be able to fine tune all these things.

As much as I dislike Era, I really hope this server takes off.

Dont hate until you actually see the content, I have seen maybe 5% of you on the server, so if you want to talk crap then come see the server before you do so.

sssssssssss · #**127** 07-13-2010, 08:06 AM

Ive been there, so I can talk. :O

What guns is this server going to have? Almost any rifle worth a damn was invented after 1939.

That's not even KINDA true. I would never say that the Carbine, Garand or Browning Automatic weren't worth a damn, and that's just a couple of the American rifles used around that time.

I hope you googled that.

Chakrah · #**131** 07-13-2010, 04:55 PM

The m1 garand was the longest used gun in america's war history.
but if you're going to make this a gun on here, you better have the sound of a springloaded clip exiting the chamber.

Liberated · #**132** 07-13-2010, 06:05 PM

And how about the tommy gun, im pretty sure that was a much used gang gun around that time?

Cloven · #**133** 07-13-2010, 06:12 PM

It's hard for me to give gun advice without knowing whether or not you're going to allow the player to respawn where they die, for one thing. The answer helps to determine other aspects of game play.

I've seen enough prison documentaries to know what that is and can do to you. One word, yikes.

Shanks, please. And how about table legs. And switch blades, I'd like to West Side Story all over, plox.

You will not respawn where you die. It will be on a "Bind" feature. Default being City Hall, or the Pier, ect.
BUT When your family owns a Estate, you can set your respawn, to that estate.

They die, screen fades to black, cue gani of player walking out the front door of a building.

Static respawn points tend to be camped.

Please don't think I'm bashing era....But check it

Notice how Era is super open? Like a suburb? Well we're going to be packed, like a city. BUT All the buildings will be used. I promise you, we have a use for all the buildings.

Now respawn, if ya'll want it to have a slight cutscene, we can do that. We can even have it so you press Spacebar, and it hurries.

Now, for the gmap. We're not making a, lets say 5x5 and building to it. No.

We are drawing up the entire server, and making changes and adjustments, so things work smoothly, and have a fair gameplay, after it's all said and done, and we believe we made a nice map, we then will put it down, in game.

Everything in mafia life, is thought up in meetings, before it is initially put onto the server. We do get together, and brainstorm, like an actual dev team should.

If you have any question, please ask. I'm having a really good night =]

Yeah, we actually have a 3D drawing of the GMAP plotted out in paint, we don't just throw slop on the server and say hey that's good! We actually Plan it and put it on an Image and then transpose that into tiles on to the GMAP. Remember, Organization is 1 of the first steps to success. Without Organization you can't start. Without a Dev Team that works together and actually agrees on things is another thing you cant have success without...Thats why Mafia Life is and will be successful.

/sigh. How can you all keep saying is. Seriously, it's a success RIGHT NOW? Why aren't you in classic then. Sorry if its anal to say this, but geeze.

Shards-Of-Fate · #**144** 07-15-2010, 05:12 AM

Uh, how about more teasers, less talk about how awesome they may be.

Cyril I know you all to well and you have no reason to talk.

I have plenty of room to talk Nas. I dont say something is a success until it is, and that is what I'm talking about. Hype, I'm all for it. I've done plenty of "hype" in my 11 years of graal. Don't say it "is" a success until it "is". Again, just being anal.

lawls lol i think u getting confuse
3d y have a drawing of a map. well only thing i can think of if u guys are copying from a game cuz to have a 3d world is more complex then a 2d world using graal editor. 3d u have to get a game engine then make the models ects.
2d is a outline in paint is that what u mean if so its not 3d

He said 3D drawing of the map. That is certainly possible. There was a server i once was on that allowed you to rotate a square. I am assuming you could do the same with a GMAP image.

Rave_J · #**154** 04-07-2011, 04:13 AM

theres not on a server is different then a img file
graal doesnt support .cs files
nor any 3d files nomore
when they had graal 3d yes but that was on a different img
graal only supports mng,gfi,png ects thats not a model with roationg a pic in a 360 offline u cant do that in paint. that is 3d 2d is one side ya u can make fake 3d like gk is but thats about it

Rave_J · #**155** 04-07-2011, 04:15 AM

only way i can think about the square they just did different img commands or a gani
with the sprites
but still i wouldnt beleave dusty if he said he had a 3d gmap where u can roate it and all he did in paint and using that as a template lol its too much work just for a layout

Or not having it in graal at all? o.O

Rave_J · #**157** 04-07-2011, 06:16 AM

well if its not in graal it cant be in paint cuz paint doesnt support 3d models or 3d gfx

IzariusRyudo · #**158** 04-09-2011, 08:00 PM

It supports 3D drawings though o.o
