Hey folk,

It's been a while since I've visited the forums and I have this twitching feel again of creating something new. Im a huge fan of space and the new space race and came up with the idea of creating a space/travel-rp server.

Inspired by 'the 100', a great netflix series, it all starts aboard an orbiting spacecraft that is about to send the first 100 back to earth (after there was an apocalypse a 100 years ago) to rebuild civilization. It's up to the players to be valuable and continue expanding the human race. Before heading back to earth, people are stuck on this spaceship until an update comes around, basically stating it's time to go.

Kind of thought of including 'puzzels' to 'discover' new technologies, that could help the human race to move to new planets/get resources etc. Things that are hidden for the players beforehand.

Thinking of including stuff like: oribital mechanics, building your own rockets, spacestations (modular) etc. Really hoping people will group together and create some amazing stuff.

Honestly wondering what you guys think. Obviously there are some challenges, but I think it's viable (e.g. planet to spacecraft size). Looking forward to your comments.

I personally love the concept of this project, I'd definitely give it a try and join it. I don't know about the others though.

I hope you complete it before SAMP dies.

Errr- here we go again.

It's defnitely possible - I recreated the Elite Dangerous hyperdrive system (jumping from planet to planet) pretty well together with dynamically rendered planets.

It's great as an RPG server, RP not so much since there's fuck all to do other than "explore" worlds.

when you gonna finish One Piece man, I've been waiting for so long

Sounds pretty neat, any renders you have anywhere?

There's a slide bug that is quite random with moving objects, which would ruin the experience sometimes. Aside to that, the project was too much for me alone, so there was no progress made anymore.

I'm not sure if this gonna work in sa-mp. It's too modern for the game. Will make it look like another game which is what I don't know if it gonna attract others or not.

Pictures yeah but none that do the project justice.

There is a sphere object with water that moves around, you can retexture it to lava in order to make a moving sun.

For hyperspace travel I had attached a black box around the player because the singleplayer night sky doesnt look like space at all because of the clouds. Stars were randomly generated. In order to hyperdrive to a planet I used a world to screen method (textdraws) which would start the jump sequence and land you on the planet.

This is pre ww-rp so 2015-2016. It was only a few thousand lines of code, nothing amazing.

Here’s the same planet creation method in action on 0.3dl:

Seems doable, got a system in my mind alrdy.
Guess the max texture size is 1024x1024 pixels, otherwise I could increase the quality of the globe.

Looks amazing.

Just popped in on the forums after years to see if SAMP is still alive.
"You last visited: 16/04/2014 at 10:43 AM"

It's crazy how much attention SAMP still gets, I hope this community never dies.
If I remember correctly, you have to post something on topic otherwise your post gets removed?

So

OP:Good idea!

[Baboon]

Thanks for the support, maybe i'll throw in some launch video for fun.

Here another pic, got some better textures:

When is the server coming?

[JoshBrown]

Great idea, I love the conecept of being able to travel from planet to planet and think it would be a great idea.
If you need some help, PM me.

[SimonItaly]

As a huge space exploration enthusiast, KSP player and giant nerd, I'd love to see this concept running on a live server.
I also don't know if I'd have the time for it, but I would be interested in helping, keep us informed if you open a Discord server or something about this.

[BlackyX]

I'd love to see something like that and I'd sure play on it.

It would be cool to have an explore mode where you click on the globe where you want to go. Then have ColAndreas auto-generate maps to search for resources.

Dope idea! Beats the idea I had in mind. Thanks

That's actually a great suggestion, I love it.
