May I be a tester?



Ooh! And new mobs:

Troll: Lots of health, slow, but massive damage on hit.

Yeti: Troll that spawns in icy regions.


More special arrows

Explosive:

OTO
OSO With T as TNT, S as a stick, and F as a feather. Explodes in a 3x3x3 radius.
OFO

That's the point. We're making a text-based MS-DOS version.

So basically it's a remake of what Notch based Minecraft on? 

Also, by MS-DOS you probably mean cmd, which has very little to do with true MS-DOS.

I know too. It's made in Batch programming, made to run in a Disk Operating System, or a DOS machine.

I only have the fighting system set up. On to the chat and SMP, but you need to give me your I.P for the developer chat. I am going to ping the surroundings and map to the other players.

Why do you need my IP?

Since this topic is probably going to be used to discuss the project from now on I'll repost what I posted in the other topic:

I'll mostly test too but I can provide ideas. I got some when this project was still a bit active but then it died... D:

Anyway, a tropical biome would be awesome. It'd have palmtrees which you can get wood and coconuts from. Coconuts would heal 2.5-ish HP. The "special mob" for this biome would be a crab, which is passive but can damage you 1 HP if you bother it.

Y'know what, why not add special mobs for every biome? If it's not too much work of course. Foxes or grizzly bears for forests, penguins for snowy ones, lions for savannas, etc.

As for musical instruments how would they work? Maybe I can make some MIDI jingles for each, you can play MIDI within batch right (launch a program that plays it, at least)? Oh and the records! I got ideas for like 10 records, including their songs    Some I remember are:

Brown: Classical. Found in dungeons/caves.
Blue: Blues. Found in dungeons/caves.
Yellow (?): Jazz. Found in dungeons/caves.
Cyan: Country. Found in the overworld.
White (?): Calm Ambient. Found in overworld.
Black: Creepy Ambient. Found in overworld but only at night.
[no color, I actually just came up with this]: EPIC BATTLE MUSIC. Found in overworld but only at night. Something like this at 2:12, but MIDIfied 
Green: Epic electronic (Drum N Bass maybe!  ). Found in Nether.
Red: Hard Rock. Found in Nether
Grey: Heavy Metal. Found in Nether.

The funny thing about this is: In dungeons you find only relatively old genres. In overworld on day, calm stuff. At night, awesome battle/horror music. And in Nether, the heavy stuff lml

Maybe as an easter egg, make the "epic battle music" record play automatically if you're fighting many mobs with 0.5 HP at night on Hard >:D

Ideas for instruments:

-Guitar (or Sitar, lol): Built with wood and string. Can somehow attract passive mobs maybe, playing a country-ish tune.
-Pan Flute: Built with reeds (aka sugar cane) and a little string. Can enchant creepers, making them passive for a while.
-Horn: Built with... I dunno really, maybe wood and... Bones or another hard material. Serves as a call that attracts all mobs. In multiplayer (if you implement it) every player "hears" it from a long distance, serving as a method to call players too.
-Ritual Drums: Built with wood, a valuable material (gold?) and leather for the top. Playing it has a chance of invoking a random normally aggressive mob, except he attacks anyone you attack, or that attacks you. Low durability to avoid overusing.

And ideas for the instruments' recipes, plus another instrument:

S = String
L = Leather
W = Wood
R = Reeds
B = Bone or another hard material
I = Iron Ingot
G = Gold Ingot

Guitar:
  W
WS
WW

Pan Flute:
RRR
SSS

Horn:
  B

-Ritual Drum:
LLL
GGG

-Steel Drum:

It's

for a guitar. But we should begin coding. Techno, you can try to help with either SMP or the map generator. I'll work with Techno and try to start coding.

I assume you mean testing those, I don't know batch. 

Techno, copy and paste it into a text file and save as ZombieAttribs.bat, and then click on it. Tell me the results.

Change the 1 to 2 in both %random:~0,1%s. It'll have 2 digit answers.

Okay, maybe I did the generator wrong, or posted the wrong code. If PF gets on, ask him to try to fix the code.
