Here are the details: Date : 2009/05/06 03:12 User : kbulgrien Edit Summary: Set up a premise for a new content namespace (blah blah). The wiki content: namespace is set up as an experimental location for managing game content improvements on a small scale. The premise for supporting small scale improvements arises due to declining development activity and a desire to capture improvement ideas that are small in scope to encourage incremental contribution on the part of currently active people with demanding real life responsibilities, and to make it less intimidating to take a small idea and run with it. Though new code and features seem more important or fun, at some point they are so daunting in scope that implementation never starts, stalls, etc. Crossfire is rich with content. The server supports many coded features that have not been effectively implemented in maps. The map set contains over 2700 individual maps not counting random maps, so new maps really are not needed. What is needed is a way to make it easier for a player to discover the richness of this game and discover the breadth and depth and potential longevity of this game. The content namespace is not intended for use discussing grandiose and impractically large modifications to game resources. At the present time it seems prudent to concentrate on improving and enhancing existing resources more than creating new ones or starting projects that will be difficult to finish in short order. Forward motion in the project seems to have been historically hampered by unnecessarily long and drawn out discussions with a great deal of attention to detail - to the point where people with ideas that may (or may not) have had merit felt unwilling to or deterred from contributing. Please keep content positive and focused on making small improvements so that it is easier to keep the project maturing in its richness and depth during a time when development activity and momentum is low. This is a simple idea and an experiment. It may not change the state of Crossfire development, and it may not achieve the purposes that drove its creation. Nevertheless, the attempt is hereby begun.

Here are the details: Date : 2009/05/06 04:05 User : kbulgrien Edit Summary: Take a stab at setting up a scratchpad area for triaging ideas. This is a scratchpad or whiteboard for capturing ideas quickly without constraining the input by formatting, eloquence, or quality. It is best to keep entries here terse and to the point. If they merit greater attention and detail, they should be moved to a new location. If after review, the ideas seem hard to limit in scope or impractical, they should either be deleted or moved to other wiki locations. Scratchpad content deemed not compatible with the content namespace premise described in the [[content:introduction]], but worthy of retention could be relocated to other wiki namespaces like: [ideas], [dev], and [dev_todo]. Organization of the scratchpad is expected to be somewhat dynamic and spotty, but do try to aggregate similar things together. ======Arch====== =====Animation===== * How hard would it be to make a light animation for the lighthouses? Could be very cool! =====New===== ====Graphics==== * The lighthouse in Scorn needs converting to the new lighthouse arch, but closer in theme to scorn (dark stone, wooden roof?) * A jeweler store. Several towns have a jeweler theme but have a "general store" arch. Come on! =====Underutilized===== ====Opportunity Search==== Where can we effectively use underused, or unused, arches: * Manhole cover? * wip Spout ====Something is Better than Nothing==== * "Fishing" feature. At least make one pond in/near Scorn where it is used! It is not restricted to fishing. You can do "work" to get some inventory out of some static item like water, a tree, etc. ======Topical====== =====Balance===== ====Money==== * Skill scroll cost. Higher to slow down acquisition at low level. May accentuate low-level money woes, but still seems the right thing to do to stretch enjoyment. * Is the apartment extender overpriced? Could a slight redesign stagger cost. Impacts existing players. Workaround/compromise ideas? ====Rods==== * meflin seems to have good ideas... run with them by sheer sake of his loyalty to the game... * A cheaper, very weak rod (and limited availability) to introduce new players to them without reducing their value later. Practical/Impractical? ======Regional====== =====Scorn===== ====General==== * Mad Mage needs more in game info. Only after many years did I finally figure out what he does. ====Landscape==== * Mountains to west are annoying and limit development of the area. * Make a lakeshore environment next to the port area and improve access to west side of town. * Those ships are cool. The shallow water is not! ====Quests==== * Add a few more simple reward quests - convert existing puzzles to give a reasonably nice item for a new player without creating an exploit. ===Royalty=== * Make quest maps easier to find. First quest. Mushroom quest. After many years have never gotten the dragon lord quest! * Mushroom quest is very dangerous due to poison. Disclose to player somehow? * Make mushroom quest accessible by water! * Paths (rough, not road-like) to locations. Eg. Mushroom quest... very hard to find in bigworld. Easy to confuse Goblin Chief quest cave with much harder cave (swap locations?) * Advertise more widely via NPC dialogs (quest keyword?). =====Port Joseph===== * Observation: Very under-utilized but very accessible to new players.

HP trigger is probably level triggered, so equal, less than, etc). * Trigger level * Command * Buttons to control the dialog =====Layouts===== * [[user:kbulgrien]]: commit the 640x480 layout sixforty.glade to SVN. * Are vertical bar indicators possible? * Map pane scroll bars * Remove? * Make functional? * Consider Magic Map when deciding what to do with them. =====Toolbar===== ====Help==== * Consider adding client-side help. * Since we now have a libglade client, it is possible to construct dialogs at run-time. * The client could obtain help from the server dynamically by using the help commands. * This could be done automatically, but that could be too complex (when? on connect, after login, etc.). * A Help | Update and/or Help | Create command could be added that invokes the function to create a help dialog. * A run-time-created XML documents with help pulled from the server could be saved to a file and re-used at client start.
