Bay Watcher Arena!
« on: January 08, 2008, 07:41:00 pm »
Here's how this works. Everyone on these forums who wishes to participate will be modded into the game as a megabeast. A community fortress will be started with the purpose of capturing these megabeasts. The captured megabeasts will then be taken to an arena, where they will fight one on one matches with each other until only one remains.

If I deem a creature unfit it will not be allowed to compete. When creating your character, please be reasonable. Creatures with 1000 arms will be rejected, for instance. If you think someone else's creatures is overpowered, please say so and we will vote on it.

If you are unfamiliar with modding creatures, give me the following information and I will create the code for you:
• what the body looks like
• the attacks, the amount of damage the do, the damage type
• damblock (the armor of your creature)
• speed
• any special tags, like [FIREBREATH], for example

I'm also open to suggestions about the arena layout.

I don't think I'll take a megabeast , but I have an interesting suggestion for an arena. How about a giant spherical room with a platform in the very center, and rings of windows/glass walls around the middle of it, allowing viewers to look in on the carnage without being in any kind of danger.

I can feel every single b-ball that has ever existed at my fingertips, I can feel their collective knowledge channeling through my veins. Every jumpshot, every rebound and three-pointer, every layup, dunk and free throw.

I only see one problem with this: how long will it take for all the "megabeasts" to come to the fortress? Good idea by the way.
Is there a way to mod the monsters so that they are super common?
I'm not that familiar with modding, but i think that all the players should set their creatures to the same biome, so they show up in the same area.

The attack is supposed to simulate a masterwork greatsword since as far as I know you can't give megabeasts weapons. Feel free to tone it down if necessary.  The DAMBLOCK is also simulating armor.

Kinda new to making megabeasts. Hopefully everything needed is there.

EDIT: Fenrir made me realise I forgot the [MALE] tag. EDIT2: Forgot the biome too

I think I can use [FREQUENCY:number] to make them uber-common.

Everything so far looks pretty good.  Though due to my guy's speed I may need to depend on getting a lucky swing in after taking a hit.  My slow speed isn't gonna help my small size any either.

On second thought, how does an immense coyote sound? May have to muck about in the raws for a bit before posting it, though.
