Oolite Bulletins

Posted: **Sat Oct 20, 2007 4:21 pm**

Following some discussion in this thread:-

https://bb.oolite.space/viewtopic.ph ... 5&start=30

I'm writing a small OXP (text only) to add a randomly generated Bulllitin Board of Assassinations to Oolite. You'd have to be docked at an "Assassin's Cove" (found only in Anarchies), to access the board. And the jobs available will also depend on your elite rating and repuation.

No new ships, I'm just coding piolts to go in ships that exist the game anyway. This means I need to do a random generator to create the Bullitin Boad Advert offering the hit. I know how to do this in code, help requied with some names and phrases to go in the random generator. You don't need any knowlege of coding to chip in, just imagination! Remember though that its a random generator, so think through the phrase at it needs to make sense when combined with any other phrase!

This is how the Ad is built:-

Code: Select all

[assassination_board_part1] [mark_first_name] [mark_second_name], a [mark_race_part1] [mark_race_part2] [assassination_board_part2] [assassination_board_part3] [level_one_mark_ship] [assassination_board_part4] [mark_system_g1] System. [assassination_board_part5] [level_one_mark_fee] Credits [assassination_board_part6] [mark_gender] [assassination_board_part7].

I have entered this into a descriptions file:-

Code: Select all

<key>assassination_board_part1</key>
	<array>
	<string>Wanted! Someone for a removal job!</string>
	</array>
	
	<key>mark_first_name</key>

	<key>assassination_board_part4</key>

	</array>

	<key>mark_system_g1</key>

	<string>Lave</string>
	</array>
	
	<key>assassination_board_part5</key>
	<array>
	<string>A reward of</string>
	</array>

	<key>level_one_mark_fee</key>

	<key>assassination_board_part6</key>

	<string>her</string>
	</array>
	
	<key>assassination_board_part7</key>
	<array>
	<string>termination</string>
	</array>

As you can see I only have 1 entry in each of the arrays (apart from gender obviosuly). So ATM this would always give this message:-

Code: Select all


Wanted! Someone for a removal job! Captain Hesperus, a Furry Feline wanted for numerous petty criminal acts, flying a battered Python needs removing from the Lave System. A reward of 200 Credits will be paid upon his termination.

Could peeps contribute some phrases for:-

assassination_board_part1 (Ad intro- eg "Wanted! Someone for a removal job!)
mark_first_name
mark_second_name
assassination_board_part2 (a bit of info about the mark or why peep want him dead)
assassination_board_part3 (a phrase comming before the name of the marks ship like "flying a" "currently aboard" "traveling in" etc)
assassination_board_part4 (a emphamism for killing him preceeds the name of the system where he is - "needs removing from" "is no longer required in the" etc)
assassination_board_part5 (A phase comming before the number of Credits that will be paid - eg "A fee of" "A reward of" etc.
assassination_board_part6 (A phase refering to payment - eg "will be paid upon" "is availabe to anyone bringing about")
assassination_board_part7 (A word meaning killing! "murder", "termination", "retirment".)

The other variables in the string are mission_variables (so don't worry about adding to these)!. The more phases added the creater the variety to the message. Eg: If we have 30 names in each list, there are 900 possible different names. 30 phases in each list would generate soming silly like over 1 million possible bullitins!

Thanks!

I add a few myself and post a descriptions file, but just but up a post with a contribution to any (or all!) of the arrays!

I'm in, at least it'll help me carry trough a very despondent-looking weekend...

BTW, wouldn't it be better if we PM the suggestions to you, to avoid spoilers?

Posted: **Sat Oct 20, 2007 5:45 pm**

Nah. Just don’t read what you write.

Posted: **Sat Oct 20, 2007 5:48 pm**

I've added the Doc's items to the arrays.

The Board provided a good souce of second names! (Not in any order and is just names that work)!. Each bit is random (so don't think it needs to be done by PM). I've propabley explained this badly, but its not specific to a commander. I've added the Doc's suggestion and this could generate:-

"Wanted! Retirement Party Organiser! Doctor Nill, a Green Humanoid wanted for selling illegal goods currently aboad a fast Cobra Mk III, is no longer required in the Diso System. A fee of 200 Credits will be available to anyone bringing about his murder."

But might equaly generate:-

"Wanted! Someone for a removal job! Captain Maegil, a Furry Humanoid wanted for numerous petty criminal acts, is no longer required in the Lave System. A reward of 500 Credits will be paid upon her termination."

As more arrays are added the possinilities become endless!

i dont know jack about all the text your posting on this thread but the idea itself is very cool

im not hated or disliked on this board (yet) LOL but feel free to use my name for a mark if you want

Posted: **Sat Oct 20, 2007 6:13 pm**

Wolfspirt works as a second name! Your name is on the random call list!

Posted: **Sat Oct 20, 2007 8:10 pm**

A couple of suggestions:

<key>mark_first_name</key>
Commander, Professor, Don (perhaps Commander should be given a much greater chance of appearing than other first names?)

<key>assassination_board_part2</key>
piracy, slave trading, making anti-crustacean remarks, breach of contract, grand theft astro

hmmmmm looks good (even tho i have no idea what im looking at LOL

Also where are the assins guilds are that in anarcy stations or in the rock hermits?

For the moment go to G7 and dock with any GalCop Station (with Assassins Guild OXP installed), but they are about to expand.

I should probably mention that you can generate random names with %R.

Whoa!

You can see the bear has been thinking on this before.

This looks remarkablly much like the classified-removal jobs in frontier/etal. xept for the races.

Why make this an assasins mark2, why not a broader 'hunters',
a police-most wanted list would not require (too) illegal activities.
The occasional "retirement enforcement' would still be fun though.

dead or alive:
the capture preferably alive or 'payment only due when captured' would be a bit more challenging for the bountyhunter.

---
[thinking out loud]
Keep it really simple.

Just have a top 5 ranking of local thugs

have say 5 marks: randomly generated, but saved particulars.
they are always have a chance of being spawned in same system as player.
(have some AIs for activities)
recast automatically after 5-10 jumps, to mimic death/capture by NPC or relocalization of mark or just outlasted 5mins of infame.
(maybe have a variable that determines this likelyhood, maybe dangerlevel would be an accurate indicator for longevity.)
If mark is killed/captured, disable spawning of mark untill recast.
check for player when killed. as used in assasins.oxp.
capture should be automatically attributed to player when using scripted pilots. (Never recieved a reward from pilots captured by NPCs)
---

When developing more deeply, maybe add fame and infamy for killings.
In essence have 'good killings' and 'bad killings'...capture=always good. assasinate: neutral-bad, kill bad person good-neutral.
fame or infame can then affect whether scripted special jobs could be offered to you. But this may be entering on 'assasins' territory again.

Doh. Well done it now and having the Oolite community on the call list for surnames might be fun!
