Color Text to Help Distinguish Different Types of Messages

Timestamp: Jon Pyre 04:13, 5 October 2006 (BST)
Type: Improvement
Scope: Messages
Description: If there's a lot of radio spam I sometimes want to skip past it, but I risk passing over other messages mixed in with them. I suggest giving different types messages different text colors so you can easily find speech or attacks mixed in with whatever else there is. Here are some color suggestions:
  • Speech/Feeding Groan/Death Rattle/Gestures: White.
  • Killing and generator/transmitter destruction: Red.
  • Radio: Pale yellow.
  • Healing/Revivification: Blue.
  • Flares: Orange.

Extendable Ladder (Modification of Rope Ladder)

Timestamp: Reaper with no name 17:17, 5 October 2006 (BST)
Type: improvement
Scope: Forts
Description: I've modified my "Rope Ladder" suggestion a bit. I renamed it because someone brought up the point about why they shouldn't be able to use the same technique on other buildings, since it's just a rope ladder. Hence, I've changed the name. Now it's simply a metal ladder whose bottom has to be lowered by someone on the inside (similiar to a fire escape). Also, now only people with free-running can enter the forts by this method, the reason being that the ladder still doesn't quite reach ground level and requires one to be able to jump pretty high for it. This also has the added benefit of making it impossible for zombies to get in through this method. Below I've rehashed all the reasoning behind it.

For a long time I've been trying to think of a way to make forts more defensible. In general, the way I've tried to approach it is by somehow either increasing the effectiveness of the barricades or decreasing the effectiveness of the zombies attacking it. But then I looked at why forts are so hard to defend. It's because (for practical purposes) you can't barricade them past very strongly, because then people can't get in. So why not just do away with the last part?

What this would do is allow survivors to enter forts that are barricaded above very strongly as long as there is another survivor inside (the one who would be assumed to be lowering the ladder). Suddenly, fort barricades would then be as strong as those of malls. Sure, they wouldn't be large buildings like the malls, but the inferior search percentages they offer would make up for that

  1. Author Keep - I think this should address most people's concerns. --Reaper with no name 17:17, 5 October 2006 (BST)
  2. Summary - Armoury only: if human inside, any human with Free Running may enter the Armoury regardless of barricade level. --Funt Solo 17:29, 5 October 2006 (BST) Additionally, John Pyre is wrong - it's not the same suggestion, as the requirement for Free Running was not included last time. That's a key difference. --Funt Solo 19:21, 5 October 2006 (BST)
  3. Keep - I like it because it makes the Armory/Forts into a complex kind of like a large building, but requires "high tower" movement to do so. Which survivors would do.. with all the damn zombies out there. Quite cool, there's only 2 forts, so what the hell, some special rules that aren't totally insane. Very reasonable, and fun. This may set a presedent for a jail.. which may use similar rules. --MrAushvitz 18:42, 5 October 2006 (BST)
  4. Keep - Armoury only, but yeh i like.--Mr yawn 18:58, 5 October 2006 (BST)
  5. Keep - I want armouries to not suck. And everyone who objects to building elitism should be asking for the whole consumer tree to be removed --Gene Splicer 19:20, 5 October 2006 (BST)
  6. Keep - Finally, a way to defend the forts! --Preasure 19:36, 5 October 2006 (BST)
  7. Keep - I think that clears up the primary stumbling block for this suggestion. Looks good. --Rgon 20:21, 5 October 2006 (BST)
  8. Keep I was going to make my own fort improvement suggestion, but this will be fine until I can hash out the details of my idea. --GhostStalker 20:54, 5 October 2006 (BST)

Location Device

Timestamp: Canuhearmenow Hunt! 21:02, 5 October 2006 (BST)
Type: New Item.
Scope: better friend, bounty, or victim location.
Description: This would add the "Location Tracker" to Malton. It's 1 inventory space, found at 3% Mall Tech Stores, 3% Armories, and 1% Zoo's. It requires you have a GPS for it to work. What happens is this; If someone on your contacts list has a GPS unit and a Location Device on them, then when you go into a suburb they are also in the Location Device "Pings" Like what sound SONAR makes. When your within a 4X4 block of the person it begins "Pinging Violently." This does not show you exactly where the person is, it doesn't even tell you the specific person. What this does tell you, however, where a friend or target is generally at. For example, it could help people that don't use the Wiki to find someone, or find a friend at a revive point. What this also does is a PKer hunting a specific Quarry would use this to track down his prey, while the flipside is a Bounty Hunter can use on to hunt down a PKer. Zombies can use this, however, because a "Ping" is still a "Ping"

  1. Kill - I may just not understand what you mean, but it seems like this essentially would narrow down a search to a 49 block area to find an unidentified person on your contact list. Just doesn't seem like it would have that much usefulness. --Rgon 22:40, 5 October 2006 (BST)
  2. This is the kinda thing that MIGHT be workable AFTER different contact categories is added (assuming THAT ever gets added). Right now I think the contact list is too chaotic for this to be useful.--Pesatyel 04:04, 6 October 2006 (BST)
  3. I strongly agree with Rgon. --ExplodingFerret 11:36, 6 October 2006 (BST)

Harbour/Sea

Timestamp: Seloth 23:07, 5 October 2006 (BST)
Type: Map Extension.
Scope: All.
Description: The Map is extended at any side revile a sea,the reason being would be up to kevin but for example"Military offical incharge of the Malton Disaster have decided to open up a section of the sea next to malotn for surviours trapped inside,reason being is people do not have acces to hygenic facilitys,The quarentined sea will have nets guarding the bottom and Navy ships guarding the top"

The quarentined sea will have a 4 to 6 square iseland as well as 1 navy ships which will act like the forts,and will be 3 squares long,3 large ships such as a tanker,Cruise ships,cargo and transport ship will also be there and be at varity of lenght such as 6 squares long for a tanker which would contain items such as beer and wine,FAKS Gens and fuel,gps units ect.There would also be other boats doted around with such ones as pleaser and fishing boats that are 1 or 2 square long.

Survivours

There would be two ways for suvivours to get around,One is to swim which would take 3 or 2 ap a move((Maby implement a skill making it 1 or 2 ap))and a rowboat or a small rubber boat containing a small engine and would need a fuel can to start or a row boat with oars,each move would be 1 ap.

Barricading would be the usuual except it would be based around area such as weak hulls or port holes on the ships,on the boats it would be placing or locking a door of a cabin.

For acces around a ship/boat it would be like this

"You are on the Cargo ships deck,you see blah blah blah"

"enter Cargo hold" "enter Ship living space" "enter bridge" "jump into water" "take a row boat/ruuber boat"->((if availble))

on a boat you would see

" you are standing on a weather beaten fishing boat,Miscluse rops and nets cover the ground"

"Enter cabin" "'jump into water"

and for the rubber/row boats you would have options such as these

"Climb onto boat/ship" "Jump into water" "take a row boat/ruber boat"->((if availble))

For boats,if you find a boat and it say something like"A large gaping hole is at the side of the boat,water is flooding in"then you can repair it((explains why down below))

If a survivour swims and rests tin the water then they will drown.

If a survivour wishes to sleep on just a rubber/row boat then it would be similar to sleeping on dry land outside,suicidle((explain further down.

Zombies

It will take zombie 3 ap to move under water.they would travel by the ground under the sea.If zombie wanted to reach a boat or ships then a skill called "great inhale" or something like that will let the zombie float up to try and attack the boat or ships

For boats there are two ways to gain acces to it,one by clim ing over the side via a ladder hanging of the side or by smashing at the hull.Smashing at the hull will be twice as hard as smashing barricades,it wouldcrack the hull and let the zombie cling through or swim in and then attack the survivour.

For Ships it would be attacking the port holes or a crack in the ship which would have cades on them

for the iseland,zeds can simply walk up it

Im sorry for the spelling mistakess and other mistake but Im tired and I was rushing this. Now this is just a start off idea,it can be changed or what ever if put into the game,this is just a basic.

  1. No to turning Urban Dead into Shartak. This modifies the game Hugely. -- Andrew McM W! 23:41, 5 October 2006 (BST)
  2. Revise - Add some more detail. I like the idea, though. Put on suggestion talk page for revision.--Canuhearmenow Hunt! 23:43, 5 October 2006 (BST)
  3. Land Ho! There are already talks about a underworld, and a Fallback Belt, I just don't think Urban Dead can handle another such expansion at the moment. --Officer Johnieo 23:45, 5 October 2006 (BST)
  4. Kill - Honestly, I don't hate the idea. I think that ideally, water tiles would add some flavor. Now, the spelling aside, I'd like to kill it because I don't think that the huge expansion of the map necessary for this would be a good idea--the present map is working out for me just fine. If the map were getting vastly redesigned, I'd like to see water tiles in it, but I don't think that these sea dynamics (AP costs, etc) and these massive 6 square ships (buildings) are that great of a plan. In short, I think a refined, scaled back version would be better.--Peter Moran 00:21, 6 October 2006 (BST)
  5. Kill - Lord in heaven. Proofread, please! This isn't necessarily a bad suggestion overall, though, might have some merit. However, if your suggesting blocks with multiple rooms (as I read it), that's fairly spammable. Anyway, give it a major revision, spellcheck, and try to organize it better, and try again. --Rgon 02:00, 6 October 2006 (BST)
  6. Kill - with many suburbs being virtually deserted, we don't really need a map extension at this time. --ExplodingFerret 11:38, 6 October 2006 (BST)
  7. Hesitant Kill - This is an interesting idea. It really is. But I don't really see how it fits into the whole "zombie apocalypse" thing this game has going (or is trying to have). And I don't really see anything inherently fun or necessary about it. So I'm gonna have to vote kill on this one. Sorry. --Reaper with no name 04:03, 14 October 2006 (BST)
