Now in Mechovision

so, yeah, Ill be honest, I might reduce posting for one important reason: My Sanity

Now, you might be asking yourself 'But Mech, your almost done with that magic/spell list youve been showing us on the update posts'

Ill be honest, I havent shown you guys 1/4 of what goes on in my mind whenever i see all that shit i have to do..

So, im now Putting this Post in mechovison.

What does that mean, well Ill be Glad to Explain:
Mechovison is a fun feature where I will tell you all the little things that I have before decided not to mention to keep you all thinking Im slightly saner then what I actually am.
Now then, heres a little key to the many colors of Mechovision
Green: Calm, collective and probably Sane.
Blue: Depressed, Sad, and slightly Gloomy.
Orange: Irritated, Annoyed, and probably Tired.
Red: Angry, you should back away slowly.
RAINBOW: absolutely insane, tell Mech to go to bed, now.

OFFICIAL 'CATCH-UP-TO-RYANS-LAST-VERSION' LIST:
Spell Count: Checkalthough, the top list on this post is an amendment to this technicality, as this is just by numbers, not by actual spells that werte in the previous game
Skills: in progressIm not sure what else I have to add on this, but its probably just trees for woodcutting.
Magic Count: almost doneonly if you count numbers
Mapping: Not even closebut i HAVE a building iconned and coded in, but none of the actual mapping done
Events: got some very borderline base code up and runningbut i got the Join event verb working, that counts for something, right?  
Missions: 404 code not found. Goodbye

anyway, so I did some work on iconning again by that I mean I kind of threw some shit together and hope its still working all the way...

so, updating the list, and showing you what I removed::

General Melee Skills:
Punch
Kick
Dash Punch
Charging Tackle
Whirlwind Kick
Great Whirlwind
Combo Attack

now, how bout a little description of what ive done:
Punch: Basic Punch Melee attack, this gets buffed by any Punch or General melee Buff/trans
Kick: Basic Kick Melee Attack, gains buffs from any Kick or General Melee Buffs/Trans
Dash Punch: a Charging Punch Attack which causes rapid damage to anyone infront of the user, gains bonuses from Punch, General Melee, or Charging Buffs
Charging Tackle: a Flying Body attack into the opponent , causing rapid damage. gains bonuses from General Melee Damage
Whirlwind Kick: a 'Rotation kick' attack, damages all opponents around the user, gains bonus from any Kick or general Buffs
Great Whirlwind: a Much stronger version of Whirlwind Kick
Combo Attack: A Punch followed up by a Kick, does double Damage and gains half bonus from punch buffs, half from kick buffs, and double from general melee buffs

Thinking of new ideas for more melee techs like this, and things i can use these ideas for involving BTO, rather then just the buffs.

now then, while anyone CAN learn these skills, they are all predominantly Melee-based, and therefore require Strength.

Hey guys, so the wiki/manga update :O

btw,I have afeeling this will be brought up: In no way will Memento Mori EVER be added in as a curse ability you will EVER see as actually avaible to players, and this is the sole reason why: (btw, this is a quote from the wiki/manga describing the spell)
With the two caught up in the Curse, Mard clarifies that, to kill an immortal being like Zeref, one has to erase the very concepts of life and death, which is what Memento Mori does, its victims being neither alive nor dead. They are completely erased, becoming nothing.

I want you all to read that at least twice, just in case you dont get why this would be added: IT LITERALLY ERASES THE TARGET FROM EXISTENCE. in essence it is a targetted Wipe. and if you even think about asking for Memento Mori to be in, I will smite you into oblivion, twice.

now then, on to better new from the wiki:
Im not quite sure when this was confirmed, but with Grey's usage of Ice Devil's Rage....
this is the first sentence in the description for the spell: The Devil Slayer's equivalent to the Dragon Slayer's Roar and God Slayer's Bellow spells.

^Boom
now....then since it doesnt specify any unique coloration with Grey's Devil Slayer Ice atm(*patiently waiting for the next several arcs to pass in anime*)...
See, the way I see it....Since God Slayer magic is all dark and blackisher versions of normal elemental magics, I think that, as Devil Slayers, their magic spells should be more...paladnistic, or 'light' in a sense.

Opinions?

so, without actually hoping for a response, I added in Greys two spells for Ice Devil Slayer, being Rage(Hyouma no Gekikou) and Zeroth Long Sword(Hyouma Zero no Tachi).

I also, since I was going to do this anyway, added in some spells to a atm, falsely called 'Flame Devil Slayer, which has Rage(Enma no Gekikou), Flame Bullet(Enma no Honoo Dangan), and a spell which atm is unnamed, but im thinking of the following three names for it...

Burning Purity(Enma Jundo wo Nenshou)
Pure Pyre(Enma Junsui ma Kasou)
Cleansing Pyre(Enma Kasou wa Kurenjingu)

What does the last FDS spell do? And also, good job!

oh, right, slipped my mind...

its the devil slayer equivalent of fire dragons brilliant flame, or flame gods kagutsuchi

i just cant pick a name is all :0

today/tomorrowish im going to be working on the iconning/code mechanics of grabbing things and throwing said grabbed things

oh, and i forgot about this, but this causes a small conflict about ranking/edibility...

see, like we already know, some magics are immune to, and can even 'eat' spells of magics of equal or lower ranking.

now this is basically how this 'order' goes:
Rank 1: basic magic withnno immunity
Rank 2: Dragon Slayer Magic
Rank 3: God Slayer Magic
Rank 4: Inedible

this obviously creates a problem when you add the devil slayers.

i feel the devil slayers should be between god and dragon, taking residency of Rank 3, where GS would go to Rank 4, and Inedible would become Rank 5.

any opinions?


EDIT: before i forget, i added 4 new spells to Airspace:
Paamu(melee, maybe with pushback or explosive)
Obu(Projectile)
Ransu(Mass Projectile)
Hoippu(Beam)

and, because most of these are simple spells, theyre a bit weaker, and have lower c/ds
with this addition, Obu has become Airspace's first Spell

Although not in order this is now Airspaces spell list:
Obu, Paamu, Hoippu, Ransu, Zetsu, Zero, Metsu, Aisu, Terepooto

this concludes my days worth of internet posting on the forum xD

anyway, going to work on Grab and Throw, and then will have some nice new stuff in for ya guys to see ,

once I icon throw, and grab, and code them in, I can add in the buff for Beast Soul: Bear, and Ice-Make: Vambrace, along with any others i forgot, or want to add.

also, expanding upon the whole 'Paladanistic' idea for the Devil Slayers, Im thinking of making a cloase-range targetted heal, or lay-on-hands, other then that, i cant specifically think of anything for them

*yawns, then looks at his laptop* holy shit, whatd i do when i zoned out?

well, actually, I know what I did, because I did it :p

anyway, heres what I ended up doing:

WereTiger(Spell)
WereTiger(Mob)
Slowing Magic(and four of its Spells, including Nitro, Motor, Gear Change: Red Zone, and Rocket)
Sound Magic(Sound Palm, Sound Wall, Disturbed, and Howling)

so, yeah....oh, yeah, I may have had the 'work' dial switched to 'just do the damn shit' mode, anyway, I'm fairly hoping that I can get around to Grab and Throw by the time i remember where i put my special code for that crap.

now, that DOES add two more magics that were in that were, up to now, not. They both have Four spells, which isnt much at all, but Im sure Ill think of something....

Sound starts with Sound Palm, and Slowing starts with Nitro

most of the spells are, as they sound in the wiki's description of them, with the usual byond 'dumb it downness'
Sound Palm: Punch with Knockback
Sound Wall: Shield
Disturbed(btw, this shit be fuxed up in its romaji): Targetted Bind
Howling: Beam
------------------------
Nitro: Punch w/ Slow
Motor: Rotation Kick w/ Slow
Rocket: Charge w/ Slow
Gear Change Red Zone: Self Speed Buff

random thoughts of nothing are involved into more nothing, going back to my cave of pixels...

EDIT: added in Reflector, thats 3 of the magics that were in from Oracion Seis....hang on, were there even any others besides these three in the game? i dont remember *checks wiki to make sure...* oh wait, Liquid Ground, thats right, I added that into Earth Magic...
hmm, I just checked the three other members of OS, and tried to pick some magics from that a while ago....

Angel and her Angel Magic will eventually be in once i get mob control
Klodoa only has Lightning Magic and Slot Magic....soo......Slot Magic maybe?
Brain/Zero has Darkness Magic(In), and a bunch of random things like Six Prayers, Requip, Archive, and Self_Destruction Spell, so.......skipping
then we gots Erigor/Grim Reaper and his Storm Magic(somehow this is a holder magic...oh, wait it requires a large scythe with a skull on it....cool)

looks like I can 'add' two magics more from OS, course, Im still coding some stuff, was busy fixing some iconnicle issues with WereTiger, so I forgot to do Grab and Throw .-., well I'm sure ill remember to work on that tomorrow as I try to icon a giant Slot machine and a large scythe with a skull on it....

Dont have time to read entire thing, but sounds okay except for that target bind (I thought we were getting rid of those ...) Mind posting what weretiger spell does?

And im back from vacation everybody :DDDDDD.

right now its just as it was, I plan on giving it some upgrades later, but Im just trying to get the stuff back in.

WE said no such thing, I simply am making it much more difficult for Target spells to work like 'point click bind', there will be probably be a delay in the casting of the spell, and the actual effect landing on the 'target', besides the MR(magic Resistance)of a character will most likely not only effect how much damage, how long the bind lasts, and if it binds at all.

The 'Target' aspect is just because most of the spells have the looks/description of only effecting the target/targetted area.

You were on vacation? *looks at entire post above ET's* didnt even notice...*lies*

anyway, glad to have you back, wish i wouldve known, the silence was starting to get to me...


OH that reminds me, I 'Finished' the Base Sprite (reminder that the base sprite isnt entirely final, its just what I have doing right now, so....)
so, because of this, I was going to code grab and throw, but grab is kinda complicated, and the current throw state looks well...stupid, so im going to edit that before i finish throwing.

anyway....in addition to that, I added in Gun Magic and Storm Magic...well, at least the spells.

this is because 1: a good number of the spells are fairly easy to draw up, and 2: because I havent iconned the weapons yet.

now, I will however begin working on equipment such as weapons and armor as soon as my next day off from work, but for now, I'm just adding in spells

this reminds me...

So, I promised you guys that thered be a couple new specific magics in the game

these magics include:

Gun Magic
Sand Magic
Light Magic
Titan
Requip
Staff Magic
Celestial Spirit Magic
Wind Magic
Angel magic
Animal Take Over
Wood-Make

now....you might look at those and be like 'but Mech some of those are in according to the updates you've been giving us'

now, while officially i DO have these magics IN, most of them dont have a lot of spells.
Sand(3?), Light(4), Animal Take Over(3), and Wood-Make(2) all are very low on the 'spells ive actually done' list.
now, Gun Magic has quite a few I was able to do within a couple moments(a magic based on being fired out of a gun will do that), and Requip, while it doesnt really have any/many spells, is in, I just need to work on the Weapon system

that leaves Titan, Staff Magic, Celestial Spirit Magic, Wind Magic, and Angel magic on the list of 'Promises ive yet to keep' as far as previous 'i swear ill do this in the next update' things when we were running ryans version


Reminds me, since Im going to allow for renaming of weapons and other augmented/crafted items, I cant just go about checking if you have a 'Flame Ring' equipped to use the fire spells for Ring Magic, so, Ill figure out something...(sure ill be doing a lot of 'lacrima slot' checking)

Thats all for now, peace -V

Charged Particle Blast - Charge up Magika within your (Whichever thingy just a small idea) This is a charge spell what these do is that for a specific amount of time you are gathering magika and when the time is finished you unleash the magika in a type of spell. You can move, and use other spells while this is charging, but while you are charging all other abilities are significantly weaker, and can only use tier 1-2 spells.

Now to classify spells in tiers .
I would classify spells in their apropriate tier depending on multyple factors
First factor is the numbers

If a spell would do damage based on a percentage of a certain stat that you have then it will be based on the actual percentage.

Example - Roar of wilder beast is a 3x3 aoe around the user that pushes everyone back and deals damage equal to 165% of the users Strength which is added to 25% of the users will which would be the damage the 165% + 25% = damage. So we take the bigger number, and look at it if it is > than 100% then it will be classified as a tier 3 spell if it is > 150% then it would be classified as a tier 4 for damage types.

For support like heals its kind of the same, but since i don't think mech will ever have a heal that is 100% or more of the users stats then i will do it like this

if it heals 25% of someone's hp or if it heals 125% pf the users will then it will be classified as a tier 3 spell if it is 50% or 150% then it will be classified as tier 4.

Now looking at debuffs it will be based on how long those debuffs last
1-2 seconds is tier 1-2
3-5 seconds is tier 3-4

Anything more and it's just ubber Oped af. So this tier system could help give a better idea to the players what's a good spell and what's bad, but of course don't just use tiers some low tier spells are definitly better than some tier 4 spells cough cough (Weretiger) cough cough

Now here is my ideas on your melee techs.



Punch: Basic Punch Melee attack, this gets buffed by any Punch or General melee Buff/trans

Well we all know n love punch i know i do cause i had to :S. Maybe the more you use punch the more it will level up and then eventually evolve into a more in depth tech known as dash punch .



Kick: Basic Kick Melee Attack, gains buffs from any Kick or General Melee Buffs/Trans
Same as punch





Dash Punch: a Charging Punch Attack which causes rapid damage to anyone infront of the user, gains bonuses from Punch, General Melee, or Charging Buffs



Charging Tackle: a Flying Body attack into the opponent , causing rapid damage. gains bonuses from General Melee Damage

This could be a combination of mastering both punch and kick



Whirlwind Kick: a 'Rotation kick' attack, damages all opponents around the user, gains bonus from any Kick or general Buffs




Great Whirlwind: a Much stronger version of Whirlwind Kick




Combo Attack: A Punch followed up by a Kick, does double Damage and gains half bonus from punch buffs, half from kick buffs, and double from general melee buffs

Might wanna change from double damage to 50% more damage


Okay so i can't come up with different ideas for these, because well these seem more like skills that should be a type of skill for a magik type.










Trap type spells
These traps are types of spells that restrict where people are able to move from 2d to 1d.
Say i am facing someone and they are located on my x-axis when i use the spell the points next to that x-axis on the left and right of it turns into dense material preventing anyone from moving along the x-axis and only along the y-axis. Whether it be trees or rocks, but this type of magic can help set up for other types of magic like something that only moves along one axis =).

With trap type spells they could be changed into a type of attack spells
Like grand omega savage - I want you to take a box that is 10 tiles wide 8 tiles long. Now i want you to make that box into stripes going straight down

So you would have a stripe then a gap then a stripe a gap and continue until you only have 5 stripes and 5 gaps that is the skill the gaps are the safe zone and the stripes are where people are damaged.

Then we can go resident evil on people and have stripes along the x-axis and y-axis :"D of course it will have a delay , and be visibly seen being put there

when i said double, its kind of literal, because it has the 'melee' proc called twice, redefining the attack damage for both the punch and the kick, essentially damaging twice as much, because it hits twice as much, just like how the dash punch/charging tackle deal damage multiple times depending on how many squares the user moved compared to how many they can move during the spell.(basically saying the closer your target, the more hits you get).

which reminds me about what im going to do for throw:
base damage+(user strength+base range)-spaces travelled

basically saying the farther it travels, the less the damage, the higher the damage, the more it can travel.

*sends a giant net of lazers at ET to cube him up* something about that sentance reminds me of dissassembly magic now...

anyway...today & tomorrow(monday) i have work, so ill start cracking on equipment on Tuesday.

I totally didnt come up with that trap idea because of disassembly magic *Poker Face*

I could come up with special skils for throw like maybe turning someone or a mob into a living beam that deals damage to the mob as well as what it hits

well, i never said you couldnt throw people
also, ill be adding in special weapons designed to be equipped or thrown(like kunais, shurikens, etc)

Yaaaaaaaaaay!!!!!!!! I shall spam kunai's 24/7

lol, well, manga update, Mard's defeated, not sure if hes dead or not, but, defeated so i might just go at thorn curse tonight...and meanwhile Ice Devil's Zeroth Destruction Bow is another thing on grey's list *starting to notice a pattern here....*

also, that makes me note Grey's whole 'half Demonization which makes me all the more curious about Devil Slayers....

Mech can you tell me if you are making the map larger and going to decrease the amount of mobs on the map so you can have your variety as well as decrease the agro range? I think you answered this question already but im just asking again .

bigger map more variety, more clustered groups.

theres also going to be 'dungeons' as in the case that they will be filled with mobs, usually of a similar type

Please don't make them clustered :S it will be a pain trying to kill one when a million n 2 of them are trying to kill you at the same time DX

anyway i was working on the new stuff(yknow, the equipment i talked about yesterday)

I started with Swords, and although theres a lot of states and shit, powerted through the basic 'just do it' part pretty easily, added in the 'lacrima' changes like how i did with the rings(that is i have the base material object(the sword) and the changes each lacrima has upon the weapon as their added from one to the maximum), now i just need to do the equipped versions of the lacrima changes, and then im moving onto the next weapon, probably a spear, or dagger, or axe. as i move on through, i may have to add more lacrima types and will notify you guys of any changes, which reminds me, I added the Speed, Sleep, Charm, and Explosive lacrimas as possible options for the sword, seems kind of weird, but, w/e im just bored

so, I didnt get the augmentations or the next weapon type actually done just yet, but I had to fuck with the Lacrima augmentation system.

Ill be honest, I broke it....twice

But dont worry, I fixed it and improved it, so its kind of like this:
when you smith a Weapon(augmentation of weapons is done at the Anvil with a Hammer for no reason atm), it first checks if it atleast has as many slots open as you would have filled(this is mostly for items that have more then one slot), then it checks if that lacrima is in any of the slots(this used to be nine separate tmp variables, now one list variable that youll never really see for each item.) if everything checks out, it adds the lacrima to the items slots filled, and lacrimas installed(2 variables including the list so that if the maximum number of augmentations is hit, you cannot install anymore lacrimas, and that you can only have one of one of each singular type of lacrima(for example, you xcannot have 2 Fire Lacrimas in the same weapon)in an item.)then it checks over the type of lacrima, and the item type, and adds the appropriate overlay for the lacrima onto the item(each individual item's own lacrima augmentations are unique to itself, but keep in a particular theme) It then allows you to rename the Item however you choose(there is no current sensor on this, please do not make me change this.)

Can i name my weapon Great Mage Mech??

again, no censor, you can name any weapon you augment anything you want.
and again, i dont want to put a censor on it, so as long as people dont go writing profanities, or something stupid like that, ill keep censorship off.

oh this reminds me of two things.
its faq time!
Q. How will someone with Requip get any magic weapons if you need that magic type to create those lacrimas?
A. You can still buy lacrimas, or find them in certain dungeons/rewards for quests or events

Q. What if I cant afford any Items?
A. Again you CAN find them in dungeons or as a reward from certain quests/events(perhaps one of those bandits might of had a magic weapon...), Requip Mages will also start with at least one Magic Iron Weapon with a Lacrima of one of the several basic types(Speed, Fire, Water, Wind, Earth), this weapon will be prenamed, because itll been made by the system

EDIT: I forgot i was going to do that, so i made sure i couldnt fuck it up....so I added in the feature fore Requips starting equipment, right now its either a magic spear or a magic sword, but still, with one of 5 effects, thats ten different possible weapons, and thats just to start, ill have to run these weapons variables through the wringer so that it registers the lacrimas in the equipment.

I also have to modify how The Ring/Requip spell list system reads for the item that the spell requires ypou to have...

*slaps a big black obelisk on the ground* maybe ill add some special modifications to the game involving demonization or something.....* places Charm lacrima at base of Obelisk, it turns all dark and shit, he then crafts it into a Spear for no reason* or maybe ill just fuck with people, either way....

Can't wait gonna try re-equip first then bto .

yeah, Im hoping i can get the system codes for the equipment working right by the end of the week.

i guess while Im doing that ill try and work on other stuff.
