Warhammer Dark Omen Forum

Would it be difficult to add achievements (and achievement badges) to SMF? So that posters would have the badges they've earned in their ID sidebar. I've seen this at some fora, and though some take it too seriously I think it could be entertaining :) Yeah, it sounds silly, but I like silly humour...

Especially meta-badges would be fun: "Badger: Has earned more than 10 badges"  ;D

Something like a "thank you" button?

sorta like smiley faces for behaving in school? lol

Haha, yeah :) F.i. in the Escapist forum people earn badges for having mode threads with more than 1000 or 10000 views, for having received messages from more than 10, 25 etc other users etc etc, and the five most valuable ones are displayed side-by-side in their sidebar.

This is an utterly silly idea, but it might be fun, especially if we keep on making new achievements :)

hehe sounds like this will keep bembe busy with counting all the medals we will be earning here as this is the best site on this earth  ;D

I don'T like any types of achivements because they will cause spam.

Depends on which achievements, I'm sure we can come up with a nice, interesting, non-spammy set :)

 :P i don't understood the idea!

this

also possibly some in-game achevements would be hillarious to have, very much similar to the xbox360 series of achevements.

for example...
Ooops... : acidentally kill 5 of any creature on your own side yet -still- win a battle (online) (10pts)
hot streak: 3 victories in a row (online ) (10pts)
Mass Murder: completely destroy 5 or more opposing regiments in a single battle (online) (20pts)
White Wash: completely destroy all of your opponents regiments in a single battle (online) (50pts)

i could go on with the list there, maybe even have the achevements in another tab along with the player, a profile even, ticking off the verious achevements earned so as not to clutter there forum posts.

Seams to be the most suitable Awards-Mod (http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=539)

Problems with Achivements (except that they could cause spam depending on what awards we choose, so there will be not such things like "send 50 PMs around"):

Forum things are easy to validate but in game things are more difficult. Only ways would be: Do it while playing against an Admin or record a Video. For simple things screenshots should be enough but they are easier to fake then videos.

Let's collect some ideas for badges. I'm not sure if we will ever add them but...

Ingame:
- Win with an undead army that has neither a Vampire nor a Black Grail (An accepted ruleset must be used!)
- Play through the single player mode without loosing any regiments (loosing units is allowed of course)
- Win Flak's Goblin Campaign
- Rout a Black Grail
- Kill a Wraiths Regiment without using magic
- Hawk's eye: Kill a mage with a cannon ball or a bolt thrower during a multiplayer match

Forum:
- Take part in a tournament
- Be first place in a tournament
- make 100 posts
- Create a useful topic

Hamachi:
- Send a message to an admin
- Get kicked out of a channel because of clean up ;)

..................
Don't take them all seriously of course, just some spontanious ideas :P

Wasn't that one time a kind of game bug? xq

Eh not really a while ago I routed Nitrox' Vampire...
And here is my proof for the badge btw, bit old ;): Grail retreats (http://forum.dark-omen.org/multiplayer/gral-auf-der-flucht-t44.0.html)

its easy to rout vampire. usually we cant see vampire fleeing cause he deads by this moment.
he is immune tofear but can retreat if attacked from the rear or due to the combat moral check.
hovewer i have no idea how to make grail fle.

I think black grail can't be routed, I never saw it except on that picture.

Don't they work the same as skelletons

no it shouldnt be possible it seems like some army editing there

Eh the thread is from 08 September 2007 were I had no modding knowledge at all...

Add the mod and we'll add acheivement as we think of them :)

to kill the Dread king with the ice spell like in that new video

lol 533 posts by this moment and my rank is 1 point (5/15) Goblin Shaman. :)

nothing bad, just funny

To kill a Wizard with a Grudbringer Fireball at long range!
Would be some sort of Hawk's Eye, but called Hell's Gaze :D

Btw, during T 7k/FO, I could also make flee 7/12 Orc Boar Boyz lvl 3 with 5/24 Zombies lvl 1 after 2-3 rounds of close combat. Was a cute surprise indeed. Map: The Empire, dont remember who was the opponent :P

http://forum.dark-omen.org/index.php?action=mlist;sort=posts;start=0 (http://forum.dark-omen.org/index.php?action=mlist;sort=posts;start=0)

can you share full list of ranks?

so we can balance it for a while :-) is it possible to add up banners of your "status" as well?

List of currently used ranks: Zombie, Troll, Giant Scorpion, Giant Spider, Night Goblin, Night Goblin Archer, Orc Boy, Ghoul, Ogre, Mummy, Halberdier, Swordsman, Greatsword, Big'un, Skeleton Warrior, Skeleton Archer, Skeleton Horseman, Wight, Wraith, Night Goblin Shaman, Dwarf Warrior, Crossbowman, Pistolier, Orc Shaman

And there is no list of all ranks, new are added when needed ;).

I guess Vampire will be 10000 posts. :D

or 1000 posts;)

Nope Orc Shaman is 1000 ;).

ot: Flak has 2^10 Posts :D

Zombie, Troll, Giant Scorpion, Giant Spider, Night Goblin, Night Goblin Archer, Orc Boy, Ghoul, Ogre, Mummy, Halberdier, Swordsman, Greatsword, Big'un, Skeleton Warrior, Skeleton Archer, Skeleton Horseman, Wight, Wraith, Night Goblin Shaman, Dwarf Warrior, Crossbowman, Pistolier, Orc Shaman


hurr its not super balanced, esp. Wraith, Mummy, Dwarf, And S Archers

And no mages :(
BY THE WAY

we need to start logging on the most successful race for tournament players. so some1 with good Humans can get Fire Mage as status or something.

No BGK or Graisl itself.

also artifacts could be assigned to persons who did good effort to this site (e.g. bemb&ghab, olly, flak, warpghost & etc).

I agree with Alavet idea. Making a balanced "profile system" (everyone must be able to know it)

And assign Racial Items to those who are best race users. Although needs a Ranking of victories/defeats/draws/APM as Top Ladder games, continously updated (Wiki has already done this table, i saw it, but no numbers on it)

Anyway, isnt that necessary because we are really few active players and what is more important, we mostly play at ends of month, not everyday :( (which is needed to have a nice table)

how to make Signature udner your portait (not much interested in but just wodner)

see this example

My brother never lost his faith with Morma/Grend's work. He supports it with his signature. :D
