Deepground: A steampunk RP in need of ideas, and more - Games

[QUOTE=No Party Hats;28825187]People need to get on. Also, can I join the Skype thingy :D[/QUOTE] Sure thing. Just get on Skype and add Neo.Hikato

Plugin update: I have succesfully found a plugin that allows music to be played server side, and not the midi format. Nope, mp3s. Though you'd have to download something to hear the played music, its perfect. So far we can't choose the mp3s to be played, but till then I will be finding neutral steampunk music that will still fit for each city, whether Deepground, surface, or Skyland. [url]http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/fun-custommusic-v0-3-imaginary-jukeboxes-with-your-own-music-that-everybody-can-hear-556.9022/[/url] Alongside that I found a way to have players to be designated as commanders in the Mechanicus for rp purposes, as in to set up attacks and the works. The plugin is used to control mobs, but if used correctly, it would make PVE more exhilarating.

Also, and deny me if I'm getting too far ahead of the project, but is there a chance I could maybe head the Mechanicus :v:

I'm going to have to leave this for a while. The laptop I use to play Minecraft is screwing around and Minecraft has become really unstable on it for some reason, which is why I was having trouble staying on the server the other day. It's a pain, but until I get my laptop sorted I have to call it quotes for a while.

Sad to hear that you won't be around dookster, you were a good attributer to the Deepground project. I hope you fix your laptop soon. Also a bit of a request, if anyone has any steampunkish music they want to be used on the server that can fit everywhere, post it in the thread. Some help with that would be nice.

We should have a nightclub with Nine Inch Nails playing.

Dear god how do I get in!?

It's not up yet, thats why.

Indeed. For the record, on Tuesdays and Fridays I get out of college around five. On thursday I get out around 2 or 3, but every other day is usually 3 or 4.

Bit of an update. Until Deep Helm is done, and maybe after, I will be posting up journal logs as written by my character for Deepground. It's something in order to build up the Deepground story and will be used to show what is going on currently in Deepground. [quote][b]March 29th, 2011[/b] Many years we've built up our cities, our pinnacles of human civilization. We've built and honored our technology, clean yet effective, and nothing could be said about our civilizations without talking about our technology. Steam and white smoke punctuated the skies each day, glaring beacon of solid prosperity. We took glory in our work, in our cities, in our technology; that was what we did, that was what we were always meant to do. Airships littered the skies, the hum of the machinery constant, the joys of humanity…how I missed it. Technology lead to our uprising, and it had lead to our downfall. The desire to know what exists beneath us, the depths of our world, this ‘deep ground’ as some of us call it. This desire, lead to us creating machines to do the work for us, robots that ran on steam whose only purpose was to break into the unexplored depths and recover what they found. One little miscalculation, one little mistake, one glitch, and our mindless machines thought for themselves… deeming humanity weak and waging war on us…to annihilate the entire human race. We called them the Mechanicus…and they took the name and used it for themselves. They, those killing machines of bronze and iron, showed no regret, no morals, not even taking mercy on us. Any human, man, woman, or child, was killed or captured…and those that were captured was given a fate worse then death, transformed into…zombies of flesh and iron. Their leaders commanded the skeletons, discarded prototypes reanimated for war; our spider drones were converted to their side…and to top things off, they made a machine whose only job is to blow itself up whenever in proximity of any human, sneaking up on us when we least expected, creeping on us. We feared them the most… Only a few cities remained when we, the Terra Lords, met in the city of Alexandria to discuss what to do. Some, if not most, hoped that the Sky Lords, with their airships, would save the day…but the Sky Lords already abandoned us, creating what is now known as the Skyland. We seemed to lost hope at that moment…until a sentry came in, reporting that he found a vast underground cavern after barley surviving a creeper attack. It was vast enough to hold a city…and from there, our plan was made. We will escape the Mechanicus yet keep on fighting, retreating to the depths, retreating to the Deepground. Three months we defended the sight where the cavern was, workers doing their best to build the first city underground, Deep Helm. When it was done, we made our final defense, giving civilians time to escape…and then we followed and sealed up the entrance. Deepground is our hope, our final bastion against the Mechanicus. I send scouts to the surface to look through the towns and cities that fell to scavenge what we can find , and at the same time, I oversee the construction of the city that will become the second Alexandria; Drakengard. Only time will tell what will happen; the Mechanicus still wants to exterminate us…but we will not yield, we will not fall. [b]-Zeferen N. Bahamut, 5th Terra Lord of Alexandria, 1st Deep Lord of Drakengard[/b][/quote]

So this takes place in present day?

[QUOTE=Oscario;28877872]So this takes place in present day?[/QUOTE] Not entirely. Remember this is a different world, so 2011 is like some other time for us. But ya, it would take place in present, as I did not know what year to set it in, but its another world so it doesn't matter.

I seem to have sorted my problem with Minecraft, but I had to redownload everything, meaning I had to lose all my worlds in Singleplayer :frown: Still, means I can come back to this! :buddy: Any new progress I missed?

Server up?!

[QUOTE=Saza;28885706]Server up?![/QUOTE] It is, but dunno for how long since I am getting off at 11:30 Edit: Thought up an emblem for Alexandria and Drakengard, inspired by me looking at that pic I posted in post 406. Since the soldier has a cross on his armor, I thought it would be related to Alexandria and Drakengard. So I looked up for pics of dragons and crosses, and I found this.

Awesome!

[QUOTE=Oscario;28873641]It's not up yet, thats why.[/QUOTE] Haha I'm perfectly aware of that, I was just wondering if there'd eventually be a whitelist or something? I'd love to be able to part-take in this if you start calling names.

[QUOTE=mmmh;28889800]Haha I'm perfectly aware of that, I was just wondering if there'd eventually be a whitelist or something? I'd love to be able to part-take in this if you start calling names.[/QUOTE] There is no whitelist as I am using something else to prevent trolls from spawning stuff. So you can join whenever you want, just keep an eye on the op page for the server status to be green.

Well we could go up into the sky and build skyline airships just for effect. We have to make more destroyed places among the world to show that it was kind of populated, so kind of like large masses of open area where a city might have been. Speaking of that, Neo, could you clear out or flatten a large amount of area somewhere to make the basis for a city that has been destroyed, instead of just my sky city?

Sides, I need to set up a location for the ruins of Alexandria anyway.

[QUOTE=Neo222;28893092]Will be done. Sides, I need to set up a location for the ruins of Alexandria anyway.[/QUOTE] Wait Wait Wait. Are we basing this to be in Egypt or something? Or is it just going to be the name of the RP City that used to be there?

Just the name. There are no forests in egypt.

I'm stunned by the pictures.

[QUOTE=crackberry;28905604]Wait Wait Wait. Are we basing this to be in Egypt or something? Or is it just going to be the name of the RP City that used to be there?[/QUOTE] Just the name. I tried to think up some other name, but Alexandria just stuck for me for some reason. It has a certain ring to it, and for me, I think it goes with a steampunk setting. Guess its because I used the name Alexandria for city name in another steampunk rp.

Is it gonna be up today? I missed yesterday because I was helping a friend with his server.

[QUOTE=DudeGuyKT;28910456]Is it gonna be up today? I missed yesterday because I was helping a friend with his server.[/QUOTE] It will be up today around 2 o'clock Eastern, give or take. I put up the IP address on the op alongside the online status indicator, so people can check if its up or not and know what the address is.

Whenever you get to clearing out the land, I'll start working on it.

Oscar is mean :argh:
