Title: Viewing events such as Triplex
Post by Despair on 09/01/03 at 17:44:19
Would it be possible to have a room where you can sit and view Triplex while it takes place . . .

Any chat will be only seen in the room your viewing from or it might be better if only clan chat was allowed in the room . . .

Any comments/constructive criticism is welcome . . .

Wow.. That would be sweet.


System message from Oracle: Page me once to join the Triplex now.

System message from Oracle: Now Page me once to watch the Triplex.

Maybe make it so only 15 people can watch and it would maybe even cost 5k to watch. I dunno.. Just depends on how many people would really want to watch it I guess...

I did mean it to be a public room . . . but I understand this could cause some serious lag perhaps . . .

So maybe if possible make the room only possible for one of your alts to go in there

I know that you wouldn't be on the same square as them. I was thinking of it as you would be on the second floor of the "Triplex Arena" looking down on them. I don't know how it could be done though.. But it really would be cool.

Oh wait you said did. >.< Ya, you only need one crit to go in there. You don't want it to get to clogged up with everyone yelling whatever. I dunno...

The only way that would work is if the staff there could cloak the viewing players, and they couldnt communicate in anyway, or give items etc. etc.

Those things are kinda obvious though.. If anyone played the old version of Deity it had this on that. Whenever there was a battle (mosh) you could chose to watch it. You couldn't talk to them (you could before it started though) give items, attack them or cast spells on them. It worked out pretty well untill a bug came along which allowed us to attack them :P

might as well make it a public room but have it so no one can see or interact with eachother. that way saves you from lag and from missing the fight. in real life everyone is going to stand up and yell at an event and distract you from seeing it, but in nightmist it can be avoided, so why not?

I'd like to see this added somehow

very good idea....

and i know its off topic... but get a lvl requirement on triplex, like 24+ or something...

it sucks getting teamed with a journeyman... if anyone saw me kill my own teamamte (kid_karny) for the sheer reason he was a journeyman... lol......

yeah that's pretty damned off topic.

Not only is that off-topic, but this isn't the place for it. If necessary make another post with "Triplex Level Restrictions" as the topic.

Now, in response to viewing the triplex, I think it would be a good idea IF it could easily be done. It would be nice if  it was done, considering viewing the triplex would be much more interesting then hearing about it in system messages/announcements. The only worry I have personally is about the lag it could cause. If this could be taken care of then IMO it would be a great addition.

That's a cool thought. Thinking... nope, can't see a way of it working without JLH needing to code something new.
There isn't a way I could ever make sure people would just view it on a square and not attack/give pots/mana and aid their friends in anyway. Nopk would stop the attacks but how would I know you'd done it and it wouldn't stop you giving items.
Keeping people coverted is another problem, sure I can cast invis but it only lasts so long, even if it's longer than the average player, it wouldn't stay for the length of some triplex battles.

You basically want the staff's Monitoring command being able to work in the triplex arena that anyone could switch on and watch.

Not a way anything can be done without JLH's help so it's out of my hands but cool thoughts :)

the idea was not for people to be on the square . . .

But if possible it be coded so all the txt from the triplex arena be viewed live in another room . . . perhaps a room in Arilin . . . I know this room might end up getting full and could lag people out very easily . . .

Maybe make it so only one of your alts per machine/ip be allowed in the room . . . make it no talking/emotes only clan chat or perhaps make it so when you walk in to the room it appears that your on your own . . . no matter whos in there with you ie no other character pics in the room

just some random ideas & thoughts  :)

AHHHH

So sorta like the forward memo/pages command except it works on a whole ROOM instead of one player. Cool!

Sorta like watching it on T.V  :)
