It's sad to admit but roleplaying on the server is kinda dead, and I think anything to encourage it would be nice.

 

 

So what about using disguise? Allow roleplayers to change into different mobs for a RP, possibly the same plugin that is used for col changelings. The only problem is that people will possibly abuse it. Could we make it so you could only use it in the RP channel? Maybe only builders can use it, encouraging whitemane roleplayers to become builders? Post your opinions below.

Wot

 

That's like asking if we can make it so you can only place blocks in the RP channel. That doesn't even begin to make sense.

Well I don't have the slightest clue how the server functions, what would you suggest we do to make sure it's not abused?

I don't think there's really any way of abusing it in the first place.

I mean it sounds like a good Idea but would be badly abused.

I don't think there's really any way of abusing it in the first place.

If they made this available for rp, there is nothing that can limit it to when your in rp or out of it, so users would most likely just use it at any given time.

And this being in colonizations, I believe would make the abuse even worse, Yes I voted maybe, But I would have to say no, And I think it would be abused.

And knowing some what of plugin coding, I do not think it is possible to limit it to when the user is only in rp chat.

Nonono, give me an example of how it could be abused. Someone on the run from a ban using disguise to run from the law? Someone pulling a prank? I mean of course people will use it out of RP, but there's no real harm in that. If it's such a risky idea, test the waters by allowing only builders to use it or something.

It's just annoying when someone's flying around you and you can't figure out who it is unless they tell you. I already find it annoying when admins use it, let alone anyone else. And of course, when I set it on Col so that disguised players retained their nameplates, everyone whined about it until I had to revert the change.

That's fair. But in that case, is it possible to keep nameplates for disguises on the main server to avoid confusion?

The only mobs that should be able to be disguised as would be passive. Say a cow, pig, wolf and such. There would be no real way this command would be abused, so I see no real harm behind it.

It can't be only coded for RP channels, but it CAN remain only in brohoof. So considering brohoof is mostly people building, exploring and chatting I don't really see any harm in someone disguising as a mob. Of course, just add a nameplate above so it's possible to tell who that user is.

Yes that is true but thule did not state whether it was brohoof or col, I was saying it would be abusive if he meant col, which im thinking he was since it is in the colonizations sub forum.

I believe he is meaning for col, it is in colonizations sub forum.

Abuse, that means in this situation using it outside of RP squint, which Im thinking many people may do, then again I am not 100% certain of others intentions, They could use it when they arent changeling to change to different mobs to spy on people which is what changelings do, and if im correct the /dis command turns you into the mob now, not just replaces the look, so unicorns could do /dis bat, and start flying.

And as many people have been saying only let builders use it, I find that unfair cause me and alot of other whitemanes are on col that are responsible to use it so I think it should be free to all who use col, if it was put into effect.

Disguise is already exclusive to changelings, and it's been seen by practically everyone that no one roleplays in colonizations. I'm more towards the idea of adding it in the server, and not in col.

Yeah, I was about to bring this up to, but then again, it is in the colonizations sub forum

Yeah... Can we move this OUT of the col forums? Sorry, thought this was suggestions for anything
