- Non-deterministic research (http://forum.outpostuniverse.net/index.php?act=ST&f=63&t=2990)
Description:
My Idea has several part for it to work. Yes it way for infinity tech.
Part 1[/size]
Have you ever notice that at place that live in overtime you start to notice problems with it or simply layout of how did it you come better way to make more functional.
All the buildings and the units as there use over time would somepoint problems found out about them, which for simplice label in to two catergories Fix, Improvenment.
Fix's[/size]
Fix is for problem that are found out that cause problems with Functionallity of structer so that won't be as effiecient in purpose.
We will have 2 levels Fix's:[ol type=\'1\'][li]. Major problem: it is a critque fallow in it and required immediaded attenion to fix it. (Chance that may required immedia researching of it to fix it)[/li][li]. Minor problem: some problem with it that does not hasto repair right away[/li][/ol]Improvenment[/size]
Face it there no such thing as perfect thing & there always people come way that could improve it becasue there are not satisfed with it.[ol type=\'1\'][li]Major improvement: all I has say there come some time a idea required big change in it that requred lot work-Research required[/li][li]Minor Improvement: all requured a small change in it [/li][li]. Disaster: when disaster happen to it you get loads of improvend to help slow it down ,so that people can escape from building or prevent the disaster from effecting it[/li][/ol]Part 2 ok so tones problems how is handled[/size]
Ok so now we have list all fixes, improvement and how urgent they are.
Major improvement,Major problem(small chance that get pick for must reserch) will be able do research on them singled.
As for rest of Fixes and improvement like after 100 of them. Then you be able research new version of structure or units. Thrus now will be able to produce or build it.
Part 3 What do about fixes need immendiaded attention[/size]
obvously emergcy Responce building would try solve proble having.
come to you soon
This is a good idea, because:
-definitely sounds like fun.
-add more infinite path to technology
This is a bad idea, because:
-because can't us max ability of buildings and units sometimes
-
Wow, I personally think this is a really really (8 times) great idea. it is pure genious. It could be compere to a moral ad-on and thus give another step of complexity into a rts and this is why i like op2 because it is hard.
great idea :)
-
Moral meter guess for work that too but Actual more on indivual building and units . Like Major problem in struture factory your pproduction of kits would go down drasticly.
(What even more amazing is that remember idea from thought of it waiting for sleep to come lol)
-
so what youre suggesting is basically that new technologies become available only after a certain amount of time and only when your colony has come to a certain level of complexity? that sounds sort of like the "ages" in age of empires series. i love this idea.
ppl should look at this idea and see if we could flesh out some details and maybe start working on some of it. it could be an addon we provide so that it wouldnt interfere with the original gameplay of op2.
-
actual nope not essesen of idea
which get technology when bulding or units have problem with them(which total random thing)
Like play game and build like Residence Unit 101
1st game[/li][li]85 days after residence unit was built you Get messageFix #97 major: residence unit 101 pipe bust due not be able handle lot pressure.
(emr quickly work temporay repair)
[/li]- 100 days: Tube Major fix #98: median wind put hole in the tube
Residence Fix #99 minor: door malufaction
Residence Major suggestion #1: Increase capacity water heater
(emr put on todo list after fix tube that had hole bustend)
(In standard lab research option apper Packagage remap 1
contain 99 fix in it ...blah blah blah.....)
2nd game[/li][li]10 days after residence unit was built : Major Fix #96: STruatul beam was very weak.(emr quickly work repair the beam)
(In standard lab research option apper Major Fix #96
It was found that when be made that metal use had some imperfection in it so ...blah blah blah.....)
[/li]- 20 days after residence unit was built you Get messageFix #97 major: residence unit 101 pipe bust due not be able handle lot pressure.
(emr quickly work temporay repair)
- 30 days: Tube Major fix #98: median wind put hole in the tube
Residence Fix #99 minor: door malufaction
Residence Major suggestion #1: Increase capacity water heater
(emr put on todo list after fix tube that had hole bustend)
- 40 days: Improvement Diastor #2: Coomon cold took 60 coloneist sick(Hosipital had hands full)
(In standard lab research option apper Packagage remap 1
contain 99 fix in it ...blah blah blah..better filler system so diesies don't spread so easly...)
does that help understand what this is about.(nope not what ages empire has it something total different but Not bad idea)
-
Those random event could influence moral based upon the gravity of the situation.
my sugestion about it would be that in the standard/advanced lab there is a tab where there is the actuall tech tree and another tab where there is flaw/problem research.
Lets say that each game you play you build many lynx laser well you can be lucky and in the design there is no flaw, or bad luck and your rate of fire is down because of a flaw in the cooling device.
-
I'm not sure if an rts is the right place for such randomness.
but it definitely sounds like fun.
-
yeap difinity sound like you got what it is about.
eek work for all different event there text that lot work
-
I agree with TH300, if it isn't going in the main game, I think it would do a GREAT mod. :D I love your ideas alpha :D
-
lol thank you
-
Update to compile with new formitted.
Ps need work sort this idea out more
-
If we can catch each other on Mirc we can work on that idea. I think it deserve time investment.
-
Quite. I didn't understand parts of it, I'm afraid, but the idea on the whole is extremely interesting. Not to mention intricate. Wouldn't this require the use of probability, as well as Cause and Effect code?
Nevertheless, I'd love to help in this (when the time comes, of course. I'm hoping I know a bit more about coding when we get to the mods. I'd love to help mod stuff... Bwahahahaha....)
-
lol yea need lot more thought into for it.
-
... I'll make a reference to "The Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy". In the book that said book talks about, which, oddly enough, has the same title, there are two words that appear on the cover. It actually says "Don't Panic", but I often make it work for me. In other words, I'm just elaborating too much on what I want to say because I'm bored.
In other words, Don't Worry. We'll help! And Telly and Stormy will too... If I can find Telly and drag him by the ea- I mean... Erm... Get him here... Yeah, that's it!
-
I am in too this idea is interesting me to a high point :) we should meet on mirc to talk about it :) and do concrete things not just trow idea like that
-
lol I don't use irc at all for never can get to work on computer but contact other way point icon at bottom of my post.

I think its way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way great to.
