Steamboat

Steam boat should be a base who agree's?

Vulcan Blaze · 08-25-2016

There was an idea once for the steamboat to be a pirate ship, this was an awesome idea. However, it would take a huge amount of time to create that.
In terms of a base, if it was somehow a base, it should be moved closer to southern island, rather than close to TS.

Idk bwt steamboat but maybe an abandoned boat at sea(mid-map) with different tileset/walls would be nice -Also no doors etc I've been wanting more open bases for a long time, I literally can't stand era bases especially when OP stuff and healing is involved just ruins the whole point.

I don't play Ol'West much but is the steamboat currently used for anything at all (are you able to walk in it or is it just an image)

I really like this idea.

Just a very awesome looking NPC.

The steamboat is actually a gani

Alex Damian · 08-26-2016

The steamboat itself is an image.. The gani just adds the animation effects to it (If there are any). And if you want to get technical, I could have said "Or is it just an NPC", because the NPC is using showcharacter(); to equip the gani. I'm sure they're going to add some kind of usage to it, they wouldn't just add something that eye-pleasing for no reason.

It should be a ferry instead.

It's a gani, since it's multiple images put together in a gani file yet it's still one thing

It had a real use before release including levels and other things.

But or whatever reason we removed them because there were some huge glitches when entering new levels.

Also @ whoever mentioned the pirate ship, we actually do have a pirate ship that is the exact same size as the steamboat. It just never got implemented. I'm pretty sure I'm the only one who saved the image for it too from the person who made it. :x

Yes, I thought I could remember that. It would be awesome if they actually implemented that, and indeed perhaps a pirate ship base, or do something else with it xD
I thought I could remember iBubble/Eugeen working on it?

No. The person who made it doesnt play Graal.

I know who made it, and how to contact them. I also know that the image for it is still around on Ol'West.

I'm still not sure what this Pirate Ship would be used for though. I believe an idea that was presented would be something like a ship base which would move slowly around the map, but that'd be fairly difficult.

Especially with collision and player attaching. They aren't my favorite things to handle.

Also, there's only actually one side of the ship made at this point in time. From what I've been told, the level of effort put in to it is a pretty monumental amount of time from just one person. The level of love and devotion to the image is very easily seen though with the amount of detail in it.
