Post by: nexus196 on February 19, 2011, 09:06:09 pm: maybe a preset animation
this action should be seeable in the commands window, and you will mount the sellected person (he can allow/disallow ofc)

clicking the same button will dismount you

i dunno but i'd love to have this XD

Post by: Tawny on February 19, 2011, 10:11:20 pm: That would be so awesome. Maybe something for picking up pups and the like in your jaws to carry around?

It'd just have to be very careful with how it's implemented, though. I can see it being a bother if someone keeps on climbing on your character even after you've gotten them off over and over.

Post by: Avani on February 20, 2011, 03:50:55 pm: Like this idea! xD
: D
Title: Re: some idea that might make rp more fun
Post by: nexus196 on February 22, 2011, 10:29:11 pm: thats why it should be a option :3 like a group invite

"player555 has request to climb on your back -YES -No"

Post by: Sylph on February 22, 2011, 10:34:02 pm: Okay, this idea is win. xD I love it. It would be awesome to be carried around by another user. : D

An invite would be a good idea too, or maybe a keyboard key could trigger it. But then most people might abuse it.

Post by: Aroxy on February 22, 2011, 10:36:21 pm: I think this would be pretty neat myself:)

It was talked about in IT, but i'm not sure how it'd work..

Post by: Halopromise on March 04, 2011, 06:48:24 pm: -Support.- That be nice, also makes me think of larger characters picking up smaller ones (Like mother and cub.) but if it's done a little box or something should show up for the person that is going to be picked up if they can accept or decline. Or just the 'ride' could work.

Post by: Vizza on March 04, 2011, 07:15:31 pm: I would loooove to be able to see cubs getting picked up. Great for rp :3
Title: Re: some idea that might make rp more fun
Post by: Themiles on March 04, 2011, 07:30:37 pm: Maybe if the game checked the size difference, it would be able to see if one could carry an other? I remember a Game having male characters be able to carry female characters.

Because.. imagine small cubs trying to carry their moms. I'm not sure if it would be hard to implement, but I think besides the thing with size difference, a basic premade animation for feline/canine transport would be possible.

The only thin I am worried about, is the thing with some chars lagging behind others ingame. I've seen it often when running around with my friend. It could affect the appearence of the whole thing.

Post by: Redlinelies on March 04, 2011, 10:53:31 pm: I'd really love to see this idea getting through.

If there was any way possible to work around the problem miles mentioned. This would be both fun and useful on so many levels. And indeed, for those who rp alot, it would be a nice addition.

I know I'd find this function handy alot of times if it was there.

If there's a way to detect the character sizes(Which I'm sure there is). It would pretty much be down to how much work in making the animations and making sure it doesn't spazz on other players screen.

Not only would it be fun to carry cubs and pups around, but I know for a fact that I have told friends to go to another place and they have been lazy, maybe if you could just let them lay on your back while you walk there it would be fun and no excuse for lazyness anymore, and it would be fun.

Ofcourse, if you would be able to do this, you shouldn't be able to jump that high, if not at all. And the running should be slower, if no running at all aswell. Maybe just some faster walking or "jogging"? If you know what I mean.

But that means alot more work aswell. And it's probably alot of work just making the animations for carrying cubs/pups and carrying someone on your back + a system that detects the sizes.

This idea is gold however. And wish for it to be added sometime in the future. It would really spice things up.

It would be great, and it should slow you down a little bit, maybe. But, some people may avoid doing it because they rather do it the faster way. But it's still great for RP, and I personally would like to be able to jump to a degree, I could help my friends with no coordination to get up those darn rocks in Fluorite plains. XD I swear I stand there a good 15 minutes waiting them to make it up there. It would be useful on many levels. For the animation process, I would think it would be worth it if they really wanted it in there.

Title: Re: some idea that might make rp more fun
Post by: Cainou on March 06, 2011, 03:44:06 am: That would be awesome :) but would if, they could hold on your tail, and they fly all over behind you XD!! that would be HILARIOUS, AND FUN TOO!!:) Or maybe... if they were bigger you wold go slower if they were smaller you would go faster!! :) This would be awesome!!
Title: Re: some idea that might make rp more fun
Post by: Themiles on March 06, 2011, 06:27:31 am: My friend had an idea to overcome the lagging behind problem. He said, simply "glue" the charries together in the animation and let them appear together on both screens of the carrier and the carried as stuck together, defined by the postion of the carrier. (hope I got that right...) That way no matter who stands where, they would always be shown together.

Title: Re: some idea that might make rp more fun
Post by: Kananane on April 06, 2011, 06:53:38 pm: I LOVE this idea. The carry thing would be great! Specially when people play prey and cubs or are injured. Something like that. It would be the icing on the freaking cake!

Post by: Lavender on April 08, 2011, 12:11:47 pm: Good idea,but won't work very well ono
Title: Re: some idea that might make rp more fun
Post by: spiritfang11 on April 09, 2011, 02:18:40 pm: Yeah! this sounds great!
Title: Re: some idea that might make rp more fun
Post by: wildspirit23 on April 18, 2011, 02:12:13 pm: This would be awsome for RP! :D Possibly wolves/lions below a certain size could be picked up?

(P.S. Sorry if someone already suggested this, I'm too lazy to look thorugh posts)
Title: Re: some idea that might make rp more fun
Post by: Engel on April 18, 2011, 02:27:18 pm: I'd love this idea! ? And for example big lion could take a smaller lion on it's back? :3

maybe a spare key such as P or O or even ENTER for picking up someone SMALLER than you
Title: Re: some idea that might make rp more fun
Post by: Engel on May 20, 2011, 04:23:24 pm: Oh, or maybe have THREE more buttons!
G = Grab (someone to your back or mouth)
O = Nuzzle ?
L = Bite >o<
Title: Re: some idea that might make rp more fun
Post by: Death_The_Kid on May 23, 2011, 02:55:08 am: do u mean by like picking up your pups or maybe if a wolf gets injured in a rp you can carry them kindra thing?
Title: Re: some idea that might make rp more fun
Post by: 12dollars on May 23, 2011, 12:00:39 pm: This sounds like a great idea! It'd be so much fun having piggyback races all around Fluorite :p
It might be a good idea to have it like how you'd add a friend or someone to a group by clicking on their character then clicking on a button saying "Carry/Pick up" A box pops up on thier screen asking them if they want to accept or decline but have it like the menu system that you can only ask them 5 times before it makes you wait, so people cant deliberately spam you over and over again
Title: Re: some idea that might make rp more fun
Post by: Robin_Wolfieh on May 23, 2011, 01:59:51 pm: Great idea. -though I have a bit of concern about it.

-Is it possible for this move/action to get abused by some users? I mean really, if someone allows the other user to be mounted (i.e pressing "Yes" to accept request) for no reason, it will be considered as a simple gateway to what they assume as 'rape'. Therefore some type of system have to be formed. Like a reason to be mounted. Probably something like so:

Player One is requesting you to be mounted for sustaining an injury.

-Something like that.

Also, "sticky pair" (what I've called it), will it form some type of lag? With so many people sticking close together (as a pair) in a group, surely there has to be an "un-sticky" option. That, or instead of using it for two creatures, why not three or more; you know for those group RP's. There's an option that can be added in the group tab. -but the group members have to be in close range or it won't work. If one person requested other group members to join in, say hunting for an example (alpha, beta, delta whatever the case may be), a few members can run over to the requester and if in range, a message would pop up. They would accept or decline the offer. Though it have to be a certain amount of people in a group, because they'll have to be in formation (similar manner in wolf packs and lion prides and etcetera) and have to be there at a certain time. Lets face it, no one likes waiting for people for them to get to point A to point B in 3 hours (more or less depending on how much it lags). They would only have to get there in a set time limit from the requester. A box would appear for the requester, stating how much time do they want to wait for the group to form up. They could type in the time or use a pre-selected time set from a list.

Example List:
1 minute
5 minutes
10 minutes
30 minutes
and so on... (max 4 hours seems fair)

If they don't reach to the requester, it's automatically denied and closed and they can't request again unless they disbanded.

-so yeah, it's kind of a mouthful, but that's what I think.

Title: Re: some idea that might make rp more fun
Post by: XxResurrectionButterflyxX on May 23, 2011, 03:01:58 pm: This would be fun if you're lazy like me and have a friend who can carry you across maps :D

I remember this being suggested in IT too~
Title: Re: some idea that might make rp more fun
Post by: Feralia on May 25, 2011, 06:21:08 pm: Lovely ideas there :) . But it should be made this way a limited size you can carry... A small wolf carrying a HUGE lion would seem... Really weird. Also, how about how you mount the person? Are you sitting, laying on his/her back or standing there?
Title: Re: some idea that might make rp more fun
Post by: Thunderlion123 on July 16, 2011, 08:14:31 pm: This would be absolutely perfect. Though maybe for picking up cubs/pups, they have to be in your group/party. You could click on the character you want to pick up, and up comes the normal options except you can also 'Pick up'. It will send a request to the person on their screen that says '(Username) would like to pick you up.' and you can click yes or no. Perhaps this could also work so that it only works for a certain size and below to be more realistic.
Title: Re: some idea that might make rp more fun
Post by: Vail on July 18, 2011, 08:33:51 pm: An option to carry smaller animals around by their scruff would be really cool.
