Thread: Simplicity - 317, New Economy, Highly Unique Features, Simplistic & Organized

Hi everyone,

I present my on-going project for the past two years to the RSPS community. I plan to, at some point, finish this and get it up and running, but that date is quite far off as I have too much happening at the moment. I will include pictures, videos, and more information at a later date, but for now here's all the update logs and information I can release.

Update List (warning, long)

[SPOIL]Monday, May 31st, 2010

Hidden update (stolen source fix)

Fixed bank closing glitch when you changed an item's position
Fixed ability to keep bank window open everywhere

Sunday, June 6th, 2010

Completely fixed banking glitches - you can't run with bank window open now
and switching item slots doesn't close it

Fixed dying and respawn/emote glitch completely

Wednesday, December 1st, 2011

Fixed banking glitch where one could open bank with "quickly" option and
then run around with an open bank window

This was a currentFrame problem. It had the currentFrame at -1 with no
interfaces up, and it would set it to -1 when the "quickly" bank method
was used. Now the current frame sets to 5292 like the normal banking option,
thus changing frame upon walking and closing the bank window.

Wednesday December 14th, 2011

Trying to fix bug where items cannot be swapped in inventory when bank window is open.
This is probably not a current frame glitch.

Saturday December 18th, 2011

- Dagger timers, animations, names, dragon defender

Sunday December 19th, 2011

Added old school whip with max/zero spec and 15 second entangle delay
Added old school special attack to magic shortbow
Fixed Godmode so that I can attack players anywhere if I desire
Fixed HP bug -- food heals correctly now (todo has correct date of completion)

Thurs December 22th, 2011

Added full 4% interest methods and variables for bank
next step is added it to process list
Added double XP on Saturdays

Friday December 23rd, 2011

Completed full 4% bank interest -- operates on 3600 count schedule for 4%
Removed all pointless instances of banker since they don't work anyway
Only instance remaining will be for installation of lottery
EDIT://New dueling area at Edgeville below (prestige guild edited on 11:05 PM 2/5/2012)
Added rare shop near new duel challenge location (will add more rares)
Duel arena has been moved to edgeville (home)
Fixed win/loss teles for dueling
D claws fully added except 4 hit ability

Saturday December 24th, 2011

D claw spec added -- all 4 hits and proper damage
but you can't see the final two hits because they overlap the 2nd two hits.

Added a slight delay on process for last two hits --- now all 4 hits can be seen
Error occurs randomly

Fixed error .. was due to p.appendHit having a nulled p, meaning attackingplayerId
Dragon claws completely finished for now.

Sunday December 25th, 2011

Fixed whip nested if list so that special once again hits a maximum or zero damageHit
Did a small fix with dragon claws so that if the first two hits are zero, the 3rd and 4th hits
will be calculated at 75% of the max and will be the same, unless the 3rd hit is also zero
in which case the 4th hit is calculated at 150% of playerMax

Monday December 26th, 2011

Installed preliminary version of lottery. Updates required.
Finished updates on lottery, adding extremely rare jackpot and 1.2 multiplier so money is put into game.
Fixed item switching while bank window is open
Fixed lure area stuff so that new areas can be added easily

Wednesday December 28th, 2011

Added chaotic maul & chaotic raiper with correct attack emotions for everything except FightType == 3 on rapier (stab)
Removed smithability & dropability of newly created chaotics -- added ItemRename.txt for new item creation/deletion
KBD now drops 1 black d hide everytime, in addition to 1 random item from list. List is noted d bones and 2%/4% for AGS/BGS.
Fixed rapier attack styles and animations

Started doing econ stuff --
Theiving base is 450k an hour max until 99, then it goes to 1620k/hr theiving 900 gp per steal // EDIT ON 12:55 AM 1/28/2012// changed to 900k max for 500 gp steal at 99
Theiving guild will be located at old dueling arena and will be populated with lots of women warrior things
Made required level 99 thief to steal from them
Added full items in rare shop + some prices (needs more)

8:08 PM 1/4/2012

Figured out full hours of work for prices and will add them to rare shop

9:26 PM 1/5/2012

Made GS specs stronger (50% and 28% ags/bgs respectively for maxhit)
Fixed godmode further -- infHp is now a player by player variable
Fixed blood spells; heals half hit instead of 1/4 hit (done) (blood barrage max = 30)
Fixed shadow blitz (50%) and shadow barrage (25%) to have their hits recalculated if 0 occurs (blitz max = 15, barrage max = 30)

12:43 PM 1/6/2012

Added full rares with proper prices to rare shop in edge dueling areana

9:13 PM 1/27/2012

Learned how colors work and how hexidecimal conversion works within colors

Prestige system checks
Robe shop + prices

11:45 AM 1/31/2012
Finished all robes + prices
1st update (updated)

6:45 PM 1/31/2012
Server sided buy X done
Client sided buy X done

8:02 AM 2/1/2012
Client Sided Sell X done (hard/annoying as fuck to find how to add it through RSinterface)

In order to add a new right click option while in shops, I had to find either the parentID,
or the InterfaceId. Since I knew which packet handled mouse clicks, I could simply have
the CurrentFrame print on every click, and then InterfaceId print on itemoption1(). Since
"value" while in shops is itemoption1, this printed the InterfaceId everytime. Through this,
I found that the InterfaceId of inventory while shop is open is 3823. InterfaceId client sided
(in RSinterface) translates to "RSInterface.id == 3823"; so I made a conditional check
and if true then RSInterface.actions[4] = "Sell X";

After that, the client would load the Sell X option for InterfaceId == 3823, or in other words,
inventory when shop is open. This is similar to how bank store all/store X work.

1:35 PM 2/1/2012
Server sided sell X done
Buy X and Sell X fixes (server; work perfectly now -- it was an if (conditional); problem ... ending the if with a

12:19 AM 2/2/2012
While trying to fix shop directions, I fucked up all NPCs. They move around randomly now no matter what I do, even
after commenting out the code I added. I'm really lost on this one.

12:23 AM 2/2/2012
Fixed above. I had changed the direction variable to static, meaning that everytime it was referenced, it would
update every NPC, making their direction constantly -1, forcing them to fix position.

2:06 PM 2/3/2012
Npc 84 (black demon) being tailored for dragon claw drop
max hit = 50 (from 16)
HP = 320 (from 172)

Skilling Thoughts

[SPOIL][MONEY MAKING THROUGH EVERY SKILL]

atk/str/def/hp/magic/range/prayer

atk/str/def

PvM

range: dragon claws

magic:

melee: KBD


Prestige system, PvM drops (god swords/armor, d claws, rings, etc),
skill based staking, hidden lures purposely built into the game

99: allowed to prestiage

Prestiage benefits?
see Prestiage notes

----
Range

Players using range will be able to kill creatures that drop dragon claws.
The drop rate for these is low, so be prepared to camp there for a while.
The expected profit off for a pair is expected to be huge though,
to make it worth your while. Items will also be edited so as not to
leave range in dust.

----
Mage

Magic has always been on par combat wise. In Simplicity, magic will gain special
effects based on spell used; this applies to ancients only (for now). Please
see the quest tab containing more information about this change.

----

Runecrafting

Runes are not able to be obtained easily
except through the zammy mage (wilderness), which is extremely dangerous
considering players are not allowed to buy from him
while carrying food or teleports. (change?)

This creates a demand for runes while increasing
the wilderness profit potential (WPP).


99: reaching 99 runecrafting will instantly allow triple crafting natures and double craft bloods
----

Agility

Not sure

----

Herblore

Super pots will not be able to be bought in shops. There will be a skilling location
where mass amounts of druids are present. These druids will drop large amounts
of herbs at various rates which have yet to be determined. High level herblorists
will be able to create pots which boost stats.

This will create a demand for herblore items and high level potions they provide.


99: will allow for overload potions to be made and sold (allow in wilderness? suggestions?)
----

Thieiving

The stalls outside home (Edgeville) will always provide a constant cash flow for anyone.
Once 99 theiving is reached, a special location will be
open for that player that will allow for a high profit in gp/hr.

Theiving will increase the amount of currency in the game.

99: special theif place (old dueling area)
----

Crafting

Green & black d hide armor will be made available in shops. Blue and red will be
crafted from someone who levels crafting to a high enough level. These
pieces of armor can then be sold to players, or shops, because they will
pay very well for blue and red specifically.

99: red hides (sells for maximum profit)
----

Woodcutting & Fletching

Shops will pay well for strung or unstrung bows of many different
types. Chop, fletch, and then sell from note form to the stores to make a pretty
penny. This is also the only way to obtain the revamped magic short bow which has
had it's special changed from 55% drain to 45% drain, allowing for back to back
special attacks.

99: string magic longs (sells for maximum profit)
----

Slayer

The profit from slayer will be large compared to other RSPS. For one, this is
the only way to obtain an Abyssal Whip, which has also been revamped
into it's old school form. The special attack will either
hit your current max, or zero. Additionally, the special
attack entangles your opponent for 15 seconds. These effects do not apply to PvM.

The extremely high demand I forsee on old school whips will make 85 slayer
quite the profitable skill. This requires decreased drop rates in order to allow
the whip to be this powerful. Although whips do not work like this in PvM, thus they
will not be an "end all be all" to weapon choice.

Additionally, g mauls will be revamped to old school style and even lower levels
of slayer will be great for generating revenue (70 slayer, gargs).

99: unsure
----

Mining

This is will a very profitable skill because I feel as though it's under looked
in almost every RSPS that's ever came out. Ores and essence will be obtained
in note form, allowing for much less stressful money making. Random events
will add cash to your inventory while you work too.

The demand provided by runecrafting for essence, and ores from smithing will
drive the profitability of mining.


99: unsure (lunar ore?)
-----
Smithing

Another largely overlooked skill by many RSPS. Smithing will be like fletching in
terms of selling smithed material to the store to make a profit.

Once you obtain a smithing level capable of making rune items, prepare to rake in
some real cash. I'm also contemplating if 99 should be the level to make godswords.

99: unsure (lunar ore?, godswords?)

----

Fishing & Cooking

Because only low level food will be able to be bought in the shops, fishing will
be one of the most profitable skills. Pkers and PvMers alike will be in constant
need of food to accommdate their playstyles.

99: no longer burn anything (with gloves?) (mantas)

----


Firemaking

Ahh yes, firemaking. By far the most under looked skill in all of Runescape, and why
not? You never were permitted to make money or even do anything of very much
use with this still. I haven't thought of the best way to make this skill profitable yet,
but it will be done in the near future.

99: unsure

Not sure yet[/SPOIL]
Unique Features
[SPOIL]Working swap/insert mode for bank organization

Unique economy setup
- this server has an economy unparelled by any server
- please see [] for detailed information on the economy

Oldschool whip/MSB
- old whip special works as follows: a hit is generated normally,
if that hit is above 0, the hit will be max. The special also works
as an successful entangle too. This may be changed in the future depending
on feedback.
- old MSB simply has a 45% drain, instead of 55%, allowing for back to back specials.
I feel this is completely fair and not the least bit overpowered.

Lottery and Cash/Item gamble
- lottery that you can pay a specific amount of GP to enter
- once a certain number of players have joined, a winner will be chosen
- the winner will get all the entry fees, plus a small bonus, around 5-10% extra
- there is also a microchance that the jackpot will be hit, resulting in much higher winnings
- the gamble system is simply a "use item on object" system where the item used is gambled and,
depending on win/loss, the player gets/losses what they bet.
- prestige based Informat who knows the current chance to win a bet

Shops
- buy and sell X
- general store buys everything for GP

All skills pre-farming besides agility
- includes firemaking
- agility & advantages soon to come

Built in Lure areas
- normally non wild areas that have been converted to wild
- makes the game more interesting and encourages magic leveling
- these areas must be discovered

A Reward Based Set of Rules
- reporting bugs/offending players/ results in small game currency rewards
- video results in bonus compensation
- see []

Redone barrows set effects (torag, verac, others to come)
- old set effects were useless
- new torag set effect is 100% and player cannot run while being hit
- new verac set effect has prayer being ignored 75% of the time and armor/NPC def being ignore 33% of the time
(was 50% prayer ignore and 20% def ignore)
- new karils/ahrims set effects to come (suggestions?)

Interest system on GP in bank
- players receive 4% interest (compounded every X minutes) on coin in bank

D claws
- fully added with proper animation, emote, and correct damage. The damage hit apperance is slightly different.

Chaotics
- maul, rapier, c'bow added

Redone ancient magics for more balance/uniqueness
- shadow is more accurate
- blood drains HP (damage / 2 = gain)
- ice freezes & stops smoke
- smoke reduces opp. magic level
- magicks create a 4-way rock,paper,scissors game

Working crackers
- one of the players gets a random phat, other gets nothing

Improved godswords
- damage bonus on special for arma
- drain stats on special for bandos

Unique skill capes
- players can purchase 99 in a skill for a large amount of cash. The prices of the skills will vary
depending on who buys which skills (popularity)

Prestige System
- players can prestige once they've maxed out combat stats (atk, str, def, prayer, hp, magic, range)
- based on prestige level, various advantages can be accessed
- again, based on prestige level, players can access the prestige guild, containing more advantages

Double XP Saturday

Pricing Reasons
[SPOIL]Everything else should be around 450k per hour before maximum at 99 (roughly 900k hr) [theiving]

based off of 250 gp per thieve & 1k gp per 8 seconds (450k per hour vs. max of 900k per hour for dueling arena 500gp steals)

3rd prestige gold bars to coins should be roughly 450k an hour

=====


[RARES]

Lowest rare: 2.22 hr work = 450k = green mask
Highest rare: ~ 2000 hr work = 900m = purple party hat
Cracker: somewhere in the middle so that: average gain per cracker > cost (worth it by 5m)

rare price order:

cracker 300m -- 666.66 hr

green mask 2m -- 4.44 hr
green phat 5m -- 11.11 hr
yellow phat 50m -- 111.11 hr
blue phat 100m -- 222.22 hr
red phat 250m -- 277.77 hr
white phat 500m -- 1111.11 hr
purple phat 900m -- ~ 2000 hr

=====

[99 SKILL]

All combat 99s will be priced at 5m (for now) so roughly 11.11 hrs work if you buy it
- Max. xp/hr rate should result in something near 11.11 hrs work
- it should be cheaper to stimulate economy and get the 99 (magic, prayer, range)

Prices will be changed based on popularity (make a text to store who buys what cape)[/SPOIL]

This is still very much in the beginning stages of development, so don't expect it anytime soon, but eventually it will be up and running. Any questions, add my MSN: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]. I look forward to any ideas, criticism, or questions.
