New Idea

[SkywardRiver]

Hopefully this is a unique idea. So in one of the games I am making, there is a Bard class. For his skills I am creating midi files. Some of you know I am (hopefull) a talented musician (I play 17 different instruments very well enough to preform in front of as many as 300 people) and I am writing each of his MuZik spells. I was wondering if any of you have done this or heard of it being done. Thanks for your time ~ Jaxx

I have seen this in some RPG Maker games before and was thinking about making it (my class - Bell ringer is inspired by that).

Anyway it's unique and if done right, can be cool I guess.

Cool, thanks for sharing.

You should make it so that users can upload there own music files XD. Then when they attack it plays it for everyone. That would be so epic.

Wont that require the user to upload his files for everyone to use?

Because i feel like unless it comes with the server or client, only the user who puts his own files will be able to use it.

Its not really that unique I have played a couple of games with that class and idea.

Once you customize the spells music the file gets uploaded to the server which then gets added to an updater that runs every time someone opens their client. Its a cool idea but it might cause more problems than its worth because people can upload stupid stuff. And if your game is for kids you might run into trouble.

its a bad ideea, some "hackers" Could make use of this and upload a virus in the game that could ruin your PC and other's PCs until it's found.

If I were to ever let people upload any midi of their own I would personally check it first, but yeah good point.

They can, Mortal Angels did show me how a picture can be used as a rar archive and can have a note in it, and a virus can be there too, i don't think they will have problems with sounds.
