Scripting in the works! Also, gigantic changes to Building and Fire, and Server Browser improvements

Oui? You called? :p

On-topic: Geti, I'm not well-versed enough with how scripting works to know if it's at all possible, but would it be possible to have entities (read: 'portals' or 'gateways') scripted to 'transport' (read: auto log-off/on) a player between servers? I ask 'cos it just hit me that if it was possible then you could have a series of servers linked together via said entities as a kind of Overworld substitute:


Maybe one could even get creative and have locked servers that could only be accessed by traveling from an open server? Or have a server load one map or another depending on which team fulfilled a particular victory requirement (say for KotH). And (don't know if it's possible, but if you could) have the script attached to one entity affecting how the script attached to another entity functioned --> something that would really allow for some special modding, etc. :D

*excited FBB is excited* X3

 

Server Linking was something quite a few people talked about, if it's same server it could be really fun to set something up liek doors and shit to go between servers and a master server heh.

Look forward to what's possible if that's possible to also throw it an option in the future (could probably be down by us using AS) to determine placement so it could be like Final Fantasy where overworld is much larger (or think netherworld in Minecraft) where for every 1 block in the main map you get 20 tiles in the small ones, or entire towns so it's as if you are moving around a map. If you can mess around with a background looking tile and weird as hell physics you can even make it look like moving on an overworld in fact depending on any possibility and editing the way actual characters work as well. ;)

Anyway I'm getting ahead of myself, fuck yeah Geti this shit looks awesome!

 

Scripting

The game browser is not 80% easier to work with, at least 200% :D

 

That's pretty logical, I've always thought it had to be this way. Just like:

And will the towers be falling down to any side? Or only vertically? Depending on the cut on their base towers should fall in one direction or another, or just downwards.
I admit at first glance I didn´t like the new mechanics of building, but actually I think the game is going forward and on its way it should change important things, good job guys.
