Mission Storage

[Azool]

Here are the details I need for each mission. I'll use my made up mission as an example.
The full array can be seen here http://beta.smrealms.de/test.php

Now I'll explain it.

[1] = mission id, this just tracks the missions

[Name] = name of the mission

[Requirements] = lists the requirements you must have to start the mission
[Alignment] => >0 -this means you must have >0 alignment
[Completed Missions] => array(blah blah) -this means you must complete all the mission IDs listed
[ship.Ship Name] => array(blah blah) -this means you must be in one of the listed ships
You can add ANY stat to this requirement, they aren't limited to those 3 things (this means credits, exp, mines, combat drones, scout drones, etc)

[Location] = Where you get this mission

[Rewards] = What you get for completing the mission
[Gadgets] => array(blah blah) the gadgets that you receive for mission completion

[Steps] => array(blah blah) details the steps needed to complete the mission.

I need these kinds of details (and any more details you can think of) for ALL the missions listed.

If you have questions ASK.

Welcome to the [galaxy] system! Before you go out, allow me to teach you some of the finer aspects of the Universe. First and most importantly, lets teach you how to fly that shiny new ship of yours! There are a few different ways to move. First, I'll teach the most basic way. Click on "Current Sector" on the top left side of your screen. You see a nice little quadrant with different sector numbers. The center square shows you what sector you are currently in. The other four show you sectors that connect. Sometimes, you'll see a fifth sector box. This is called a "warp". The Warp sector brings you into another galaxy. But before you move out of here, lets get back to the here and now! Click on current sector, then move over one sector, and then come right back here.

2)Go to adjacent sector
3)Return to the original sector
4)Return to the original sector to see following dialog:
Congratulations! Now click on Current Sector, and then {Race} Headquarters for the next step!

________________________

Now that you have learned how to move using your current sector, lets teach you how to use your Local Map. On the top Left, directly below Current Sector, you see "Local Map". This gives you a view of the area around you, including locations, ports, as well as where you can move. The two yellow dots on the border of a sector shows that you can move into the next sector. If there are no dots there, you can't move there. Click on "Local Map" and move over one sector, and then come on back!

______________________

Congratulations on learning how to use your local map! Next up, we have one of the most used forms of travel: Course Plotting. If you need to go a long distance, or you don't know the way, then Plotting a Course is the best way to do it! On the top left, under local map, you see "Plot a Course". When you click on this, type in [Insert nearest level 4 port here] and then click "Plot". This will bring you to your Current Sector screen and show you a long list of sectors. You can then choose what to do. 1)You can simply click "follow plot" to your destination 2)You can click on "Local Map". You'll see a white star-ish icon that shows you the way using local map (This is the most recommended way) or 3)You can manually click on the sectors listed in Current Sector. Using your local map is the safest way to move place to place because when you have a Scanner, it will show you if there are other ships or harmful forces around. You'll learn more about this later. For now, click on Plot a Course, type in [Insert nearest level 4 port here] and using that plot, get to your destination and back. Good luck Pilot!

Sorry I haven't taken the time to look seriously at these mission suggestions, will do so within a day, cause I think we need to make haste implmenting this before next round.

In addition, I propose that we also implement 'quest-like' missions that are different for each game, so each game stays exciting and new. Using these missions, we can involve the storyline in the game much more. I suggest that these missions do not give massivew cash or xp, they are more for the sake of the story. Four issues here:

- We need to know the storyline. Nariis, to what extent have you been working on this and to what extent can it be easily poured into missions?
- We need to do this quickly, to be able to use them in the next game round.
- We need one or some people to be responsible for making up and implementing these missions. I don't how easy it is to combine different databases, but this is a lot of work and I don't want to put it all in Page's lap. But whoever does this must have some idea of the mission code as it is implemented at the moment.
- I think any storyline will involve npc's more than they are involved in the game at the moment. Which means that we also need to discuss what npc's can and cannot do.

Comments please, and make it quick cause as I said we are short on time.
