The GHI RP Pack

[garrett]

Well, I'm going to post about this, but for now, this is not in operation :P So don't ask me to get it.

I'm planning some projects with GHI items, for RP enhancement stuff. This is a list of some of the stuff I want to make.

~The Music Box~

This will create a container in your GHI pack when used. Inside that container are....more containers.

But inside those containers will be items. Items that, when used, will spark a music script to play.

This idea came to me during the Lunar Ball. It would be so awesome if, before an event, the planner could OOCly tell people to hotkey a specific music item from this collection.

Then, during the festivities, people could click their hotkey, and everyone will have the ambiance of a particular party.

I'm planning on sorting them into groups such as party music, gloomy music, scary music, each for different forms of RP event.

~Professions~

I'm currently looking to add in three new professions. Basically you'll get a kit, which will create a container, which will be filled with other containers, tools, base ingredients, instruction manuals, and recipes.

This one is going to take me time. Because you don't get all the stuff right off. Instead, you are going to have to gather and harvest it. Currently I have mastered the script enough that I can make Purchase: Empty Bottles, to be used at a cooking supplier to receive a few Empty Bottles. Then you need to find a cow, target it, be within melee range, and use the Ability: Gather Milk. You will essentially milk the cow, and destroy an Empty Bottle in the process, but you will receive a Bottle of Milk. This will be employed in the Brewing Profession.

I am also working on learning how to add gathering from Herbal Nodes to acquire other ingredients, as well as a way to acquire grapes and fungus. This will all be used with the brewing tools to create pretty much every Alcoholic beverage in game, along with a number of custom ones I add in to flesh things out.

The other two planned for this endeavor are Fletching, which will involve gathering wood from various slain treants, using knives and shaft straighteners to form arrowshafts, purchasing arrowheads from blacksmith suppliers, and using a skinning sub-profession to acquire animal body fat and gut to be used in create glue. You also will harvest feathers from a variety of birds.

The last is Tattooist. This one will gather herbs from Herbalism, and water from special places. ((Will be done with coordinates.)) The herbs will be milled into a powder like inscription, and mixed with water to form ink. Needles and Designs will then be employed, to tattoo specific body parts. This will fashion an item that the receiver of a tattoo can use to get a permanent buff stating they are tattooed and the design. ((I will also be crafting a guide here on the forums before this is released, to have visual representations of many different tattoos, whether they are tribal or other. So you can see the tattoo your character gets.))

~Mad Whispers of Saronite~

This last one may be the first to arrive. It's mainly for the cult forming for Yogg-Saron. But it's going to be a really special script.

When the item on this fires, you get a buff, labeled something like "Saronite Madness". The way I want it to work is that as long as you have this buff, a random loop of sound files will play, with 1-5 minute intervals between clips. The sound files will be those whispers belonging to Yogg-Saron, that randomly play in Northrend. If you cancel the buff, the sounds will go away.

I'm requesting help on the GHI forums about this one, as it's very beyond me. Another little tidbit for this item will be that the text of the clip may also play where only you can see it, so you know what is being said.


If there is a lot of enthusiasm for these, namely the professions, I will work to expand on existing ones. I'm thinking a tie-in for Blacksmiths, so that they can craft GHI arrowheads for use with Fletching. And likely one solely for producing and manufacturing bullets, though I can't think offhand what to call it. Wood Shaping might be present, but I have to see what the lore would say on something like that. It seems like a good one for druids, to take a single piece of wood and magically shape it into something else, without cutting and carving.

Lemme know your thoughts on this guys

Update: I've got the box made, and three boxes to put inside it so far.
Party Music - Alliance contains items that play music from various Alliance taverns, as well as the Dwarven Brewfest music, and a couple other.
Party Music - Horde contains items similar to the above bag, only for Horde cities.
Party Music - Misc contains items that play music that really doesn't fall into the other two categories. This includes pirates, Darkmoon Faire, as well as Power of the Horde, and Lament of the Highborne.

I did have some trouble in that I created an item that was meant to produce the container. Only when I traded that item, it produced only the container, none of the contents. I'm working on a fix for this.

This looks very very interesting, Especially Professions. I believe GH is actually making a GHP (Gryphon Heart Professions) yes?

[garrett]

Yeah, and once that's out I'll likely move the entire setup over onto that format.

As it stands now, I'm not really sure how long it might be before that stuff is released though. So I'm working up a system we can use now to do things.
