steve hubbard // User SearchSome ideas (good ones too)Feb 26, 1999, 7:12pm
1. A language filter, making AW kid-safe (The world ratings do nothing.)
2. Demolishing squads who have eminent property (for people who won't get rid of clutter) 3. Animals. I saw some animated-sequence fish objects in A'tuin; why not make bot animals? In AWGames they already have 2 or more bird bots. So, jsut an idea. 4. Special bots that block certain citizen #'s or only let certain citizen#'s into a zone. The creation of these bots is restricted to certain people (or there would be blocker bots all over GZ's.) 5. "Hitbots." Some bots eject people or can; my proposal goes like this: A. Some idiot continues to vandalize, trash-talk, and harass everyone in your world. B. You call in a Hitbot. C. You tell it to eject the person "bob" and eject him for 1 week (possible command: Hitbot3 eject "bob" 1 week) D. HitBot relentlessly hunts "bob" down and continues to do so whenever bob's online until he catches "bob." E. HitBot only ejects "bob" from your world, not the world he's in. F. If necessary, tell HitBot3: HitBot3 eject "bob" 1 week loop G. This would activate endlessly, thus banishing "bob" from your world until you tell HitBot3: HitBot3 stop eject "bob" H. End this long idea 6. Special objects that mask everything in a 1-cell 10 meters up 10 meters underground cube. ONly the creator of the object can see everything masked by it, and you could put in actions "create mask off" to turn off the mask (for visitors.) Good for hiding structures as a surprise or hiding unsuitable material (NOTE: the demolition squad mentioned above can see through the masks.) 7. Make bots that will follow certain avatars. EXAMPLE: bird bots that follow bird avatars. 8. Auto-construction bots that appear on their own occasionally. They build a specific template (for example: a bird bot building a tree and a nest (pot), and other bots building things like huge monuments, houses or even mountains. These constructions are treated like normal citizen constructions, and since they don't chain-build worlds like AlphaWorld should have no trouble with allowing them to generate. 9. I will post more ideas later. |
