Interactive base items

Interactive base items, both the pointless and the useful.

Pointless:[*] A tv that you can turn on and off[*] A pinball machine that shows a short animation of playing the game (with interaction would be nice, but probably neigh impossible)[*] A diagnotic station for a longbow/arachnos flier that runs a scan and gives up the result (a version for green ligh, red light and random?)


Useful:[*] A computer that shows your statistics over the last mission(s)[*] A door. Slide, turn or rotation? (basic ones, as well as the secret bookshelf versions?)[*] A button that triggers other placable items, for instance alarm lights.


Ah, one can dream...

* STANDARD furniture. Including normal looking beds and bathroom stuff, regular furnishings you'd expect to get in a home
* Windows. Please god, windows. And not the Microsoft variety either!
* Chairs which can be sat in properly, in the style of WoW. Click on it and sit.

Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Want now please! i always wanted the door hidden behind a bookcase with a secret room behind it or something. Don't think the slidy or spinny doors would work for Arcane but maybe you could have a wall that is'nt a wall if you get my meaning. You walk down a corridor and it looks like a dead-end, but you can just walk through and ta-daaaa.

but yeah, /signed.


The above is only my opinion, please don't hate me for it

I think this is an impossibility in the current engine.
In WoW everyone of the same race is the same height (even the same between most races), so they only had to do the animation and ancors and such for those heights and shapes.

With CoX, the height is different, the leg length too, I can imagine that it'd be rather hard to get things to function like that. Unless they could make skeleton points attach to object points? Would need minimal attach points (like just bum to sitting surface) combined with a pose (though a mini character might have their legs go through said surface..)
Hmmm, think of why it doesn't work now, and come up with a possible way of doing it flexibly in one day... I scare myself sometimes.

i love the ideas, maybe have the window be one of those digital window things so you could choose a digital landscape thing,you could also have the ability to put you screenshot pictures up as landscape things to make it appear like the base is in a real in game location.

Anything interactive would be a bonus. I think all that's interactive in the gameworld are the signs outside some shops

Ooo, /signed. It would be nice if we could actually watch "Paragon News Reports" updated fortnightly, on a TV.

+ A computer that shows your statistics over the last mission(s)
+ Chairs which can be sat in properly, in the style of WoW. Click on it and sit.

/signed for these two

Just these two. Although, what about a 'base Police scanner'? Or some kind of 'breaking news computer program'? A special SG base-specific item that generates mission (like police band) but for SGs? Maybe make them Hazard Zone ones, instead of just specific 'city' zones

Oh, that's a nice one!
Hazard zones being monitored by SG's would feel like SG's fill a role, act their part.
Not sure how that'd translate to Vilains, but they have their SF so...
