Trash Talk - CBCC Siege of Avalon Zone

Post subject: CBCC Siege of Avalon Zone

The Siege of Avalon zone is based on a great computer game of the same name. ( recommend that you buy the game ) We have a public arena which as a constant Flaggin Game, and a soccer game as well. The basic play of the game is Human Avalonians vs the Evil Orcish Sha'oul. There are also NagDa or snake men (hopefully will be included in the ship set) and the Lizard men (underground cave will be in arena).

Note: As I am still under development with my Host Donkano, some things are a little buggy but are being scrubbed as I speak.

Back to the Game:
I will be hosting events in the very near future. The first event will be a CTF type game based on one of the first major missions in the game. "Collecting the Chalice of Life" This will be an interesting CTF as the Flag or Chalice of Life will start in the hands of the Sha'oul or bad guys, and the objective is that the Human good Avalonians have to retrive it and keep it for a specified amount of time. (I will post the exact time when this event will be available for play.)

The arena includes a castle, town, sha'oul camp, NagDa camp, Lizard man Cave, Forest, and some basements, caves and dungeons which you will warp to as if your going down stairs or into the ground.

The Ship Set is under development, but will be a split between good guys and bad guys with captain ships. It will be made up of characters from the game. (If you want to help refer to the topic in the General Topics that I put for this.)

Even though this is a storyline type zone, it is still a free for all friendly zone with a rampage plugin.

Stop buy, have fun, play hard and play well. I hope everyone enjoys it.

PS. If you live in Newfoundland or in a 1/2 timezone please pm me your username and password, and I will ?adduser you to the zone, as there is some timezonebias malfunction with the server, and you will be banned other wise. Sorry for the inconvienence, I was banned and I'm the owner!

You can contact me with any questions, suggestions, and concerns through this forum, or my email: revfj.grothe@gmail.com, or msn frederickjgrothe@hotmail.com. I am being very trusting by put up this contact information so please no spam. I don't have time to deal with spam. I would appreciate serious inquiries, comments and concerns.

Omg waste of time

First of all Dude, This isn't the Zone Bashing Forum, It's for Zone news. So if you got something to say. Do it in the right forum!

Second, YOU may think this is a waste of time, and your entitled to your opinion, however, not everyone likes the rest of the zones either, so if you don't like it, I guess I wont see you in the zone.

However, for the people who are interested in Medivial Mythology, and are ready for a change of Subspace Scenery, then I am developing the zone just for them.

Anyway "Spyed" you need an attitude adjustment, and ask Trench Wars and Halo staff all the garbage they went through before all the SS world bows to their exellence!

Get a real life!

I've go some updates to announce!

.lvz files are now loaded. They aren't totally complete, but it will definitly make game play more enjoyable. i.e - background, repel, center logo.

I still am looking for someone to help with the ship set, but things are coming along very well!

A big SHOUT out to everyone who has stopped by and encouraged me. Thanks for the great comments.

Also, I hope to have my CTF (Get the Chalice) event up and running in a week or two!

I'll keep everyone posted.

PS> If someone wants to offer me some magical gun/arrows/bombs/sounds for the weapons I'd be more than greatful! You can definitly get some ideas off of sourceforge.net.

I have the NEWS.TXT finally "done" for now....

Includes some of the "story" behind the zone/game and in game hints, and a couple very important notices... (Especially if the server bans you!)

Continuum. ^________^

Anyway, on my list, I only see 2 good CTFs out there.

There are far more flagging zones, so why hate CTF?

KomodoDragon - Thu Sep 15, 2005 4:46 pm
Post subject:

Well people I really appreciate all the comments, however, I still have a question? Why are you bashing my zone in this forum!? This is for me to put update on, and for people to make constructive suggestions!

If you really must bash my zone - and I can take it - I'll put a zone bashing post up in the appropriate forum.

IF you must bash please at least follow the rules!!!!!!

yea, if you want to say there are TOO MANY CTF's out there than there are WAAAYYY too many flagging/basing zones and ALOT of game-based (battlefield, halo, paradigm). So dont use an excuse "too many CTF's out there" because there are alot of zones period. Its just what is fun to play or not.

KomodoDragon - Sat Sep 17, 2005 3:32 pm
Post subject: Updates

Another addition to the main public arena: Castle Basement. Which will soon extend to the castle caves. I think after that I'll have to say that would be about it. At least for public 0 arena.

Also, this coming week I will be starting on the Capture the Chalice Event. I hope to have it up and running by Saturday....

Anyway, I also have custom bombs or spells as they should be called. They are much bigger than the regular bomb set. Much more fun! I've modified the ship settings so that they are more true to what the character ship set will be.

Anyway come, play well, play hard and have fun!

Again I thank everyone for positive feedback. And yes I'm starting to generate some pop... I don't expect everyone in SS to come flooding over, but I do expect people to visit and enjoy, and re-visit again. I am putting alot of work into this zone, and freely accept any suggestions that would make game play more enjoyable.

2 points I'd like to through out for thought:

1. It's been suggested that I shrink the map size a bit, however at the time the majority said it was ok. Visit the zone, play a bit and see what you think. It seems when you have about 6 pop or more that the current size is ok, but what do you think?

2. Buying anytime.... I have turned on safe zone buying only, and increased the greens to compensate. I'd like some feedback on this. What is better: a. few greens but buy at anytime, or b. lots of greens but only safe zone buying?

------------------------------------
Now some updates:
Bullets are are now very colorful arrows/sitimars/swords/battle Axe...
Ship settings are better, and more true to the game. Also, I'm trying to centre the one of the bomb images but it didn't work...

Cheers: Play hard, Play well, and have fun!

BTW spyed, you person makes a big difference. 99 +1 = 100. Most people wont care if I have 99, but If they see 100 they'll take note.

So really care about even one person...

If you know anything about math you'll soon realize that one is a very BIG number!!!

sigh

why do I bother with people like this....?

Updates:

1. I didn't get the promised CTF event up. SORRY

2. I have a new staff member (DF>dragon~) who is helping make a custom tile set, and a mock 3d map.
3. We have a 1/4 complete map up at ?go 3D from my public arena. If you check it out you'll have to change freqs to get out of the initiall spawn area.
4. We are working on a new look, and a map that is more true to the game. I got the game maps and pieced them together so I could put some of the main and bigger buildings in the map, rather than just something that 'sorta, kinda' looks like the game.

Well that's it for now... Hope to see you soon!

Updates:

I finally have the 3D.lvl map (?go 3D) about 1/3 done. (There are three sections...)

The Castle, Town and Siege area's are basically completed, minus the lvz files are still in the wrong place due to the fact I didn't create a new .cfg file for the subarena. Didn't see any point as I'm only going to remove the public arena and replace it with the new semi 3D arena....

Anyway I've been getting some good comments about the new level, check it out and see what you think so far.

BTW, I'm sorry none of the warp areas for the 3D.lvl map are configured yet.

Each time I go to your zone, no one is there, that is a shame.

KomodoDragon - Fri Sep 30, 2005 8:11 am
Post subject:

That depends on the time you go in....

For example: I live in Newfoundland so we are -3:30 GMT so we are about the first people to get out of school, and for people who live in Manitoba the are about 3.5 hours behind us, and it's 6:00pm my time before they get home from school, and on it goes. There is usually more people on in the evenings, but during the day, not many. I'm off and on during the day, but I work so that limits my time during the day.

So I hope to see you this evening....!

Update:

First, thanks Mav for the link. Although I've had 9 players on my zone, I'm not sure why it says max 7, but I just looked briefly. Anyway to everyone else the times desplayed on the above link are when we have most people.

Second, I uploaded a temporary ship set: XODOS10, there was a link to the website for this shipset in the misc. apps forum. Anyway I thought it was cool. I'll use it until I get a good kool looking character ship set....

2. I've tweeked the ship settings a little. (And I mean a little)

3. I've upped the prices alot, as it is very easy to get points.

4. I've reverted back to a safe only store. (Sorry)

5. However, I've upped the greens quite a bit. so you can upgrade quickly by greening.

that is about it for now. cheers.

For this update I have some bad news: Something is wrong with my biller/server. Listzone on the server shows that it is running, but in the game console it comes up red, and you can't connect. We don't know what is going on, but we are looking for a solution.

If anyone has ever encountered this before and found a solution, please let us know! I don't want to have to close the zone down. I've put too much work into it, to just have to abandon it on the side of the galaxy!

For good news, my wife will be having a baby any day! Hopefully sooner than later!

When a zone has 0 population, a tiny blue line will be drawn at the bottom of the graph. When it has no population, it has no blue line at all.

The zone will be removed after a week of having no activity (that is, not online). This is in case there are zones who are offline for a few days and then come back.

UPDATE:

Well we had our big baby boy on Oct 19th. He was 9 lbs 10 1/4 ozs, and was 20 1/2 inches long.!

Anyway on account that we have had this baby my time is now very limited. I also have 2 other very hyperactive children!

Anyway until my time is a bit more free I have shut down the zone. It will be up and running again, but I don't have the time to mantian it, as you can see my population has dwindled to nothing because of it.

Thanks for coming and playing it's been very fun, and we'll definitly see you again!
