I just read through 160+ posts. Man is this a busy one. I think i might try something if i have time for this. Does our building have to be to scale of the basic person everyone is using or is the scale all up to the artists?
Hey :beam:
Wow, a busy post lol. Yeh whoever said it earlier, I dont remember, they are right I would like to be a part of this pixel revolution :beam:
Haha cool phil picture, can I be in it?
Brown spikey hair with blonde bits in, 6’0", green eyes, slim, wearin baggy jeans and a white t-shirt?
I don’t like the non-pixel grass as its done with a filter but I suppose I can live with it 
Whats all this talk about making Kirupaville an interactive thing, where you can walk around? Is this possible? Oh and when building something on the plot do we have to keep it the same size?
Anyway I missed most of this thread but I’l keep checking it now lol.

Habbo Hotel has a very similar idea… its all in shockwave, tho i think a similar thing can be done with flash and actionscript
cheers
:A+:
Is it possible for us to do tho? :bad:

i guess if someone volunteered in designing the characters, from the four views in perspective and someone else volunteered to script the whole thing, i guess it possible… for us=)
ask eilsoe tho… he’s behind this whole thing=)
cheers
:A+:
Does anyone know how to script it?
- Soul :goatee:
i guess i’d be able to script it… if i got the characters and such… im not the only one who’s able to do it i guess…
cheers
:A+:
EDIT:
well… this just came to my mind… i thought i can script it, but actually i just figured out that i cant do it in a way that it supports multiusers… 
the guys at habbo offer a free light version of the server they used for habbo… it actually in Java if i remember…
any volunteers??:sigh:
I don’t think that this will be a problem. It’s not going to happen over night though. That is something that will proceed as different members have time to add to it. I’m going to be creating a section where all the artwork and scripts will be stored for viewing. The important thing though, I think, is to have art work for the habitat.
coughs and raises his hand
I can do the scripting…
Using php and databasing… Just have it set up in flash where every 6th frame you send a packet of information through php to the database on your current characvter position… ANyone else in that room can see that packet and load up the graphics accoringly…
Ehhem… So… if anyone wnats me to… But I’d need help… Mentally… Cause I’m being bogged down with engines right now… Lol
Peace
is that possible with plain php? i mean would’nt you need sockets and such?
im actually just getting started on php, and if i get good enough when this is finished, i hopefully might be of some help…
i can probably do some of the actioscripting i hope
cheers
:A+:
p.s. why exactly six frames?=)
Oh it’s quite possible my friend…
It would just be updating a database and reading off of one… mySQL most likely… Faster and most reliable…
Just use a small insertion of code in Flash telling you to reload current variables… The sizes would be small so lag time would be virtually forgotten…
XML Sockets can be used… But would it really be necesary?!
Just get a decent webserver and I’m sure we could ste up code small enough and fast enough that can deal better…
And 6 frames…
I was thinking 30 frames per second…
That would be 1/5th of a second…
Soo… That would run pretty smoothly but notrun too fast for the php server…
hm… sounds fun:beam:
well then i think we should go for it=)… we should have someone responsible for organizing the thing tho… i think…
lets wait till eilsoe assembles all the 9 blocks and someone gets the characters designed tho…
cheers
:A+:
Or how about… we just have images :o
Honestly… I think it will just be a pain to set up a whole habbo hotel copycat :-\
IMO.
that’s what we’ll start with… just images… then we can expand it and form a kind of interactive city=)
cheers
:A+:
hey id be willing to join. i just have to make myself a character i guess. we should make a mini RPG of all of us on a quest to slay the mighty Phil (who has a mighty trout sword). we could all gather our assorted trout weapons!!
i guess if someone volunteered in designing the characters, from the four views in perspective and someone else volunteered to script the whole thing, i guess it possible… for us
Well, I’d help with characters and stuff. Always got time for drawing. 
then i think i’d work on the front end… and playa marz would do the php backend… shouldnt we ask the big guy before we start tho?
cheers
:A+:
I have an interesting idea. figured I’d throw it up here.
what about, instead of a copy of something that someone else has done, we create an environment for programable ai’s. .
The idea of programing a little guy who reacts to different stimuli, WITHOUT direct user control intrigues me to no end.
If we went this way we’d probebly have to work on a basic person script and then just allow people to customize that shell of programing.
Kind of like The Sims only more free will, sort of thing?
It sounds like a good idea though, if we could pull it off… What am I saying? We’ve got some great scripters here, fantastic artists, and all round geniuses. Of course we could pull it off.
