Eye Implant, RPOS.. you know what I mean...

[naimex]

I got this idea whilst I was falling asleep in the train on my way to school this morning, and meant to write it when I got to school but I forgot...

So here it is..



Some people don´t like the new RPOS, some people do...

RPOS is a retinal thing, meaning a hud placed on your eyes.

Why not... hold on..


No eye implanted = "A very very discount HUD, crappy gfx, and god knows, some shabby shit tbh".

ANY eye implanted.. ANY! = displays a PRESET /* <-- NOTE THIS PART! */ RPOS.

And what do I mean by that...

I mean that an UNIMPLANTED eye can be rightclicked, and there you can press the use button, and when you do that... you will get this little pretty menu that you also have when you enter a vehicle, only this isnt the seat you want, this is the RPOS you want..

And when you have that chosen... boom baby, just implant the eye and go play with your sexy new RPOS (Old or New).


And yes, I know, it doesn´t make any sense to have an RPOS when you don´t have an eye implant.. but lets face it.. its damn hard to play this game without an rpos.. which is why i said some old busted piece of shit hud until you get an eye implant in... which of course does mean that the graphics department will have to make a new hud.. which could be either the old or the new rpos, with some holes in it, or smashed parts or something... basically a discount or "wrecked" rpos.



So all my little poodles and horrors... lemme hear your voices.

EDIT:

I know there is no poll, and it´s intentional.. I don´t want votes, I want comments...

Cuz I think comments and reasons mean more to KK than numbers.

[-FN-]

If I followed you correctly - you're saying you'd like the RPOS/HUD to be linked to the fact that you have an Eye Implant in? And perhaps have changable RPOS's with different Eye Implants?

If that's it - that's a really interesting idea - talk about being one with your character 8|

Five stars, just because it brings a new sense to RP AND immersion, as well as just being plane cool.

PEace out

Hell, i like your idea of RPOS enhancing implants.
But i think it should be done careful, you dont want to scare away new customers by a crappy RPOS that they will use for quite a while.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Idea based on Naimex post:
Maybe create WoC-Lvl eyes which give some useful information about the enemy like actual and max HP (in numbers, not trough that bar thing).
Or a WoC-Lvl eye that reduces the reticle close time by about 10% in addition to its normal stats.

The german community can mod them =( screw imps

5 Stars for the above reasons and also because I hate the current RPOS.

[Androth]

Sounds alright, however the ability to edit make your own would be good too. tbh not to sure why they took that ability away.

[zii]

Sounds like fun.

PS. Does the sign off 'peace out' mean that you're fresh out of peace so hostilties will commence? :lol:

Um, if anyone had the knowledge and ability to mod their UI, they could if they wish hack without doing so.

In other words - Why mod their UI when if they to hack they could do it easier through other means anyway?

They really should allow UI mods, tis a petty assumtion that people would hack through them anyway.

Changing the HUD means changing some BMP images in the GFX folder.

I havent heard of anyone hacking something with MS Paint.

[QuakCow]

would be awesome if it wasnt so much hud was changeable through the menu but each type of eye had its own hud selection...so kinda pistol geared ones for pistol eyes and so on.

this would be more work to implement though

Unlikely that you ever will, because something that basic is incredibly hard to detect unless the server dedicated resources to scan all your neocron files at startup, you've seen how long filecheck takes and thats just checking the file checksums. The way most anti hack systems work out there is be keeping copies of all the known hacks and looking to see if the tell tale signs for them exist. Which as you know bitmaps contain too much info that can be changed only slightly to avoid this kinda system. Otherwise i'd sure someone would have come up with a nice little addition that removes porn based visual tags in games.

Any ingame editor of the HUD, would:
a) Require a large ammount of development because it would have to be able to edit bitmaps from ingame.

b) is going to be rather limited, because you can't change the functionality of the hud in anyway without hardcoding it.


The no editing of files was an across the board policy to stop other types of hacking of the game which were damaging though it killed off projects such NC Launcher Pro, from the number of bans there have been since NC2 launch is appears that it hasn't put off those willing to take unfair advantage.

Tbh kk droping the NC1 hud in NC2 to the best of my knowledge wouldn't require anything but a few tweaks here and there. A basic program to switch huds, a day max.


By RPOS is retinal Projected Operating Sytem its not actually an implant its projected onto the back of an existing eye.

Personally I'd like Rpos's tied to the type of implant they are, for example vech eye has vech rpos with better information about the vech and its position inworld etc.

[RogerRamjet]

They dont need to check all your files at start up, just detect ones that shouldnt be there.

[Toxen]

Then it just becomes a simple matter of disguising a file and to actually affect the ingame processes u must affect the files that the games uses.

^_^ they jsut dont want people modding things so that they have a easy life. such as visable stealth and bright pink players who are easyer to spot (different classes)

[Heavyporker]

I fucking love this idea!
