How about a City, full of tall buildings, and it's a whole War, Theivery, and Hostile Takeover kind of thing. Every kind of gun will be compatible with the Sim and upo entering it you get a Health Bar HUD. There would be Avatar Cops everywhere. You could Rob banks, Steal cars, planes and boats, Blow up cars, planes and boats. Visit Hell, Do stuff like the Matrix like run up walls, do flips off the walls when you jump off them.
Secret hide outs everywhere like in the sewers, Building basements, Windows that open when you go near them. It would be 7 Sims an an estimate. Stores Would Be another thing! Gun stores, Freebie shops, Then in some Hideouts will be some secret Vendors that sell Really cool stuff for L$20. Also, it will not allow any outside sheilds! Only sheilds that were bought in the City could be used. Also Some Haunted Areas like a parking Garage, or a park, And some places that are really haunted in Real life like Wal-Mart and Wendy's.
For an idea of what the Sim should look like...
Visit Theses SL Cities:
1. Overdrive City
2. Korea 1, 2, 3, 4
Or play these games for PS2, XBOX, PSP, Nintendo Gamecube, etc.:
1. any of the Grand Theft Auto Games( Perferrabley San Andreas)
2. Spiderman 2: The Game
3. Any of the Matrix Games
4. Any of the Socom Navy Seals Games
5.Tony Hawk's American Wasteland
6.True Crime
7.Need for Speed: Hot pursuit (I had it for 10 years now so you can tell it's pretty hard to find)
8.Phantasy Star Online
9. Soul Caliber II or III
10. James Bond 007 Nightfire
Hope you all like my Idea!

Hope you all like my Idea! If you have been in SL more than a couple of minutes, you would know that what you describe is not possible in SL. Just pale imitations, and the lag will destroy any fun you intended to have.

The closest you could get to that would be a decent RP, but large scale games can not exist in SL, too much lag.
I myself play Star Wars RP, its the best Star Wars game available, thats just because the items are common and we make it all up as we go along, heh, to make a real game of the size you mentioned is not possible.

It's a good idea, but in SL as it stands it probably isn't realistic.
However some parts of it could be. 7 sims would be far too big for something that was being started off, (that's US$9100, plus US$1365 a month to pay, not counting the huge amount of work it would be to build such a huge area!) but if you design carefully you can fit a convincing city in 1 sim (look at Nakama). You can't make all guns compatible with the city unless you use the LL damage system, and you can't make it so that only shields from the city work there (some of the tricks used by shields are hard-wired into SL, so they'll always work).
Hidden low price vendors have been done before and I seem to recall they worked well (on Chaos), although there was a problem with people giving out their coordinates once they were found.
If you wanted to make banks that could be robbed, you'd have to make up your own currency for the city, because nobody would accept anything that would allow the L$ they might have paid real money for to be stolen in a game.
I think there are territory-taking/combat sims already, you might like to look at some of how those work as something to develop from.

Yumi is right, the amount of work and scripting that would have to put into this type of project is immense, and almost impossible. the US$ price of the sims and maint. cost associated is very high as well. you would have to charge players to play. as good of an idea as it sounds, you would be better off just using a gaming engine from another game, and actually making your own game. SL is just too darn slow, and is plagued by limitations. Don't forget, each script can only be 16Kb too.

Hope you all like my Idea! What, you don't like any of the *ingo variants? It's not that anyone wants to harsh your trip, it's just that SL can't, and I doubt ever will, handle any type of fast paced action game/shooter. Go shop and spend that Linden, thats the real reason your in world isn't it? |

possible
08-25-2006 10:12
the work required is immense, go to the sim 'Carnage Island' it's a WW2 sim with a combat system seperate from LL's. lagg is the only killer, but usualy its not just the people playing but also the lagg from all the sims the lindens pony onto a server...so it is possible to do projects as previously described but then there is lagg, and lawsuit for ripping off over 20 games ina row...
