El Socko Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Is self-modifying code still considered bad practice nowadays? I used it "back in the day" in Z80 assembler, maybe it has a use here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funplayer Posted June 19, 2017 Author Share Posted June 19, 2017 (edited) Dynamic quest data could be cool. Some RNG never hurt anyone. Mutate it with some high level script in the server before its fed. Could modify wave dataĀ sequentially to alter monsters in waves, or use it to fluctuate the rewards from certain quests. Possibly an event quest with some interesting chances for RNG rewards. I'm not bad with parsers, maybe I could help out.

(Raid on Central Tower, CAL's Clock Challenge, Mine Offensive, etc.) This sounds very sketchy to edit the quest data prior to sending it. Ā Anyway, random spawns are already doable through quest script. Ā You just design each random possibility and set them to different waves and spawn a random wave. Ā A little hard to do, but it works. Ā Anyway, it'd make it so the quest could only be used on this server. Ā I personally don't like the idea. Ā A lot of thought and time goes into mob positions and wave compositions. Ā If you really are bored, I started a project to generate a mag feeding plan based on an end result that I never finished. Ā If you're interested in it PM me and I can get what I have to you when I get home. Ā It's just a Hill Climb search, but I haven't had the time to finish with the other stuff going on in my life.

Ā More specifically, Sketchy implies that an idea has a high potential of going very badly, or that some situation is very likely to not be legitimate i.e. an email from a nigerian prince asking you for your banking info so he can 'save' his family's wealth from x/y/z, or a drug user requesting to meet up with a dealer in a one way back alley in the ghetto.
