[Feature] Achievements - tomozj - 07-23-2008
Those playing on their Xbox 360s would know that achievements exist in every game. You guys know exactly where I'm heading.
For those who are clueless, achievements are simply challenges within the game -- miscellaneous tasks which are not always required in order to complete the game, but are just challenging and award you with some kind of xbox points. For example, GTA IV has an achievement which is evading the cops for 5 minutes with 6 stars. Another is the achievement of spinning your car 5 times in one jump. You get the idea.
So, we could create small achievements -- obviously not as complex as spinning your car 5 times in a jump for each, but simply things like "kill 5 people without dying", "hold a wanted level of 6 stars for 5 minutes". It would be challenging, and would offer rewards such as money, vehicles, properties or even pluspoints.
Users would be able to have the fun of discovering and achieving them, would be very fun.

I like the idea of this, but, killing 5 people without dying is very easy
Same for holding a 6 star wanted level.. Some other things would be nice though.
Re: [Feature] Achievements - Jay - 07-23-2008
Well they could be on different levels and work there way up - Amateur Semi-Professional Professional. Perhaps they are all the same achievements, just harder! E.G, Amateur could kill 5 people, Semi-Pro kill 35, and Professional kill 150?
We could even link the new games/races too them! E.G Survive the chase minigame, deliver the briefcase, win 5 race's, win 5 derby's, etc.
I love this idea! We could even make a fancy textdraw message when you pass an achievement too
Omg, This will own! Brilliant idea!

I've got to admit; all of the above sounds quite interesting. I also remember that 'Briefcase Minigame' from back in the old days. That was quite fun indeed.
So ya, +1.

for some people (me) it is :x
anyways, getting a good time in a race could be an achievement, or you could get an achievement after spending a total of one hour in jail

Yea that's where I got the idea, from the old CT server. Already done the game (with a few improvements). You should hop into #lvp.beta too give it a try next time a beta test is running (Probably in a few hours).
Anyway, where going to have to write a handler for this. It should be nice and easy to add achievements, just a simple few functions. Where also going to have to document everything we add the achivements too, so we can properly list them and perhaps make a forum post when 2.90 is finished (with offcourse an ingame list aswell)
Re: [Feature] Achievements - tomozj - 07-23-2008
An ingame list ftl -- I think people should find them challenging to find too. Maybe a forum post is fair, but the gamemode itself shouldn't have to document these achievements.
Re: [Feature] Achievements - Jay - 07-23-2008
Well, ok lemmie rephrase. Maybe the gamemode could document completed achivements after you have completed them, that way players can argue "ZOMGICOMPLETED40ACHIVEMENTSHOWMANYHAVEJOU?"
Re: [Feature] Achievements - tomozj - 07-23-2008
Ah yes, of course.
Maybe we could even get them onto people's forum profiles, so you could see what achievements you have got, and which others have got, by simply linking your forum and ingame accounts. :7
That would be one heck of a sexy system if Peter could help.
Re: [Feature] Achievements - Jay - 07-24-2008
That would rock, a little message under your avator: "Achivements Done: 4. Latest Achivement: Tell TEF to fuck off and not get banned". Would pwn
