My desires for Elma 2

One improvement I would really like is a 'player versus computer mode' or even 'player versus player versus computer mode'!

dz · Post by dz » 9 Jun 2004, 12:25

I dont know... it would be rather difficult with the challenge since the skill level varies so much..

Kopaka · Post by **Kopaka** » 9 Jun 2004, 12:44

Sach coal to beat computer 2:07,45 to 4:34,56 in apple harvest =).

Wouldnt work, instead do some "online multiplayer mode" without bots

chux · Post by **chux** » 9 Jun 2004, 23:39

It would work if you had a 'CPU Difficulty' setting in options

KD · Post by KD » 10 Jun 2004, 10:40

I don't think it would be any fun. You can already compete against real ppls times. Seeing as comp is goin on the lev wouldn't be fun aswell, coz it's almost impossible to create an intelligent bot. U'd see only recs made by ppl (maybe slightly changed) i guess.

Napoleon · Post by **Napoleon** » 11 Jun 2004, 13:13

i have no idea how this could work, but could be quite fun to try ;P

8-ball · Post by **8-ball** » 11 Jun 2004, 14:00

I think this would be like this - level maker makes a level AND drives for 5 difficulty settings a few times. AI for computer? Impossible since there are so many different levs.

chux · Post by **chux** » 12 Jun 2004, 15:09

Shouldnt this be in the 'New Versions' forum?

Juski · Post by **Juski** » 12 Jun 2004, 18:06

maybe it was, but its a poll so it got moved here

Post by **SveinR** » 13 Jun 2004, 20:21

Indeed.

And on-topic, no, I don't see the point in battling the computer at all. Elma is about competing with others.

ribot · Post by **ribot** » 14 Jun 2004, 09:41

of course it's a nice idea. again i dont see why ppl are so negative, they wouldnt be forced to use this mode.

teajay · Post by **teajay** » 14 Jun 2004, 16:39

elma is about some apples, a flower and a bike. All forms of competing can be positive.

Juski · Post by **Juski** » 14 Jun 2004, 18:11

Battling the computer seems to advanced and not so useful, it would be better to allow a ghost, like atling with your best rec on that lev.

Luther · Post by **Luther** » 16 Jun 2004, 14:26

well this could almost be used as a cheat ;S

if a noob uses a "harder" opponent, he just have to do exactly what the NPC does :S

Juski · Post by **Juski** » 16 Jun 2004, 16:38

yeah maybe but maybe put some lock so u only could use ur own recs as ghost players

chux · Post by **chux** » 16 Jun 2004, 18:33

Who is NPC? And surely using a harder ghost would be beneficial for the kuski...at th emoment you can watch rec of better kuskis, so why not compete in the actual level?

Argh, of course

BigRed · Post by **BigRed** » 19 Jun 2004, 07:52

Versing a ghost of your best time sounds like the best idea.

i3 · Post by i3 » 9 Jul 2004, 18:09

I like playing against/with other that don't complain, so I like the ghost/cpu idea very much!

Good idea

WOuld like :
1. A ghost of your best time in internals and externals
2. A ghost of the WR in internals

2. : only if you have the rec, of course

and better: a ghost of the fastest rec of the lev you have.

Juski · Post by **Juski** » 10 Jul 2004, 00:34

WTF u talking about? you select a replay to be teh ghost, thats how simple it is

Not here to talk about freakin' RPGs,... offtopic ( sorry, i don't like RPGs )

chux · Post by **chux** » 11 Jul 2004, 18:19

Nah, only your best time. I have some good recs for levels that I cant beat, so it should be just a rec thats about the same skill level as you...

Juski · Post by **Juski** » 11 Jul 2004, 19:35

why would it be limited to recs that the best time you got, why wouldnt you be able to select your replay to be the ghost?? thats totaly unlogical. i mean why limit it?? that would just be more work for that programmer.

chux · Post by **chux** » 12 Jul 2004, 23:35

Eyah, thats kinda what I meant. Generally youd choose your personal best time, but the WR or some other unbeatable (or far too ez) rec...

magicman · Post by **magicman** » 20 Jul 2004, 11:56

nah not that sure, i mean still you have other players to compete to etc..

Bonobo · Post by **Bonobo** » 30 Aug 2004, 17:02

What type of bulleing should this be?
Is it first to flower, or tag version (pretty boaringz, cuz no good tag levs)?
if there would be 5 different difficultries inprogrammed, meaning that it is finished rides, then why not just beat a time?
Or if there was an AI would it ever die, or would it finish teh OMG impasibel pipes? How good AI is it possible to program? Would teh AI improve all the time (otherwise not funney) and if it improved then just make it loop and become mega good, or is it specific AI for every lev? so when you get like 10 000 levs your elma folder is 32TB cuz of AI for each lev?

Gamefreak987 · Post by **Gamefreak987** » 22 Sep 2004, 19:42

I think a ghost of your bvest time would be a better idea

AtmaWeapon · Post by **AtmaWeapon** » 3 Nov 2004, 14:39

Player vs Computer is not a very good idea, I think, but the replay ghost would be brilliant! An excellent way to beat your times and improve your styles.

Ramone · Post by **Ramone** » 3 Nov 2004, 15:22

Bad idea. not the idea with elma at all I guess..

sierra · Post by **sierra** » 3 Nov 2004, 15:53

My only desire for elma 2 is that it doesn't happen.
