Tavern Band

[forgoodorforevil]

When you enter the tavern, the music changes.  I think to make it more realistic if there was a band there playing the music (I know music isn\'t implemented yet).  Or when we can play music, we should be able to get on stage and play.  The citizens in the tavern (if they like you) can give you tips.

sort of a \"star wars galaxies\" idea

me like, we should borrow a good bit form that game, it was built really well for RP\'ers

music really shouldn\'t be THAT hard to change from place to place, but having players playing music would end in chaos

wookies dancing in the street...everywhere....make the wookies stop...STOOOP!!!

[forgoodorforevil]

?!?! Wookies? What are you talking about?

[derwoodly]

Wookies=  fictional large ape like creatures with lots of hair, found in the Starwars films.

[fken]

Oh yes ! Wookies !!! Please dev ! another wish : let us killing wookies in the street !

 

Why only one band ? and why only one music in the tavern ?

There could be a closed door where bands come and go away from and everytime news songs in the tavern !

But only some night ! It must be an evenement !

\"Hey all ! concert of Jarki the green tonight !\"
And everyone come in the tavern to listen to the music.

Configuration :
- Dermorians are allowed to sit down on the chair
- Enkidukais near the fire
- Kran are allowed to stand on the Dwarves (one drink offered for each Dwarf corpes given to the taverner)
- etc

I like the idea as it could be like a guild entertainment thing  or just get together with other people and make a band just don\'t do electric guitars and stuff coz this is older times not 2098

That never seemed to be the problem around here before :P

Anyway, I don\'t thing mechanizing things is such a good idea. Freedom is pretty important in role-playing games, thus I believe minstrel should have an ability to perform anywhere (be that by the campfire, or in a tavern) in a same way...

or in a in the streets, but not like in mid-air, lol in the top of a towerwould be great place to play

[Rage McCloud]

Yes or in front of the statue of laanx... but like in the sewers? hah! Maybe for different notes you could use the number pad, going for 0=lowest to 9=highest... and for drums, different toned drums... EI big ones and small ones... maybe a command /play [instrument]

Example:
Chat:
/play violin

Chat:
/stopplaying
Woo great song!

[Antranianni]

Rather (or, better still: additional) there should be some command like /play [instrument] [emotion] - for those of us who want to play bards while lacking the talent of playing ourselves

/play guitar happy
---> cheerful guitar music starts to play
---> people within range get the message \"Antranianni starts playing a cheerful tone on her guitar\"

[darkw00t]

you should be able to hear the guitar though and there should be like rock, folk, sad, etc. as well as happy and you make like a happy drummer, a rock guitarist and sad singer and stuff lol

[Rage McCloud]

Plus with my idea... it would have to stop any music currently playing... so like if someone forgot to do /stopplaying or wanted to run around playing then it would start randomly killing the music people might be listening to in-game that are in range... MAYBE if you do /play [name] ect... then it freezes your character... and you cant move... or something... and it would get annoying if someone was REALLY bad at it...

So yes that addition/change/whatever is a really good idea... If someone was about to PvP and you could tell they would loose you could do /play Bass Death and it would do the death march song... LOL that would be cool and funny to see/hear...

[TomT]

Instead of hitting numpad for cheap synth drum sounds why not generate your own music for the tavern

That would be mean - I like it


Naturally it should stop the normal background music - or rather turn it\'s volume down for a smooth transition.

And, not to forget - it should only work as long as you have the right instrument equipped
