Tardis Suggestions Series: Part 8- Tardis Starter Stuff

Feature 1

Tardis "Starter Kit"

Feature: Tardis Starter Kit

Description:

Upon entering the Tardis, a chest generates in the center of the room. This container will Contain a bit or Rassilicon, Omegaton, and Otherdium, some roundels, and key. There will also need to be a way to break and place Tardis Parts.

Purpose: This will allow a player to get started much faster upon getting his or her Tardis but still require him or her to mine for ores on Gallifrey to have all the panels. 

Any other Information: There is a way to get to Gallifrey from the Nether by finding a Tardis Wreck if the player does not have his or her own Tardis. More details about this generated structure can be found on this thread

Feature 2

Tardis "Starter Rooms"  

Feature: A few rooms to help the player get started with his or her experiences within the Dalek Mod Tardis

Description: When the Tardis first Generates, 3 rooms will be around a Console room. There will be hallways leading from the console room to each

Purpose: Helps a player have somewhere to start when expanding his or her Tardis or just made-on-generation extra rooms a player can utilize for quick convenience upon making a Tardis.

Rooms: The rooms around the Console room will be chosen at random from a list, typically avoiding duplicates

1. Pool
2. Storage Room
3. Bedroom
4. Secondary Console Room
5. Wardrobe
6. Furnace Room
7. Etc..

Starter Rooms the Player has a chance of getting

Pool Room:

 This room will look a lot like the Pool Room from Invasion of Time

Zero Room:

 Has Unique Roundels, and the Room has a healing effect on players inside

If the player does  not have one, he or she can build one. If it is built properly, it will have the same effects as the Starter Zero Room

 1970s-1980s Tardis Wardrobe

The player will recognize this room when he or she sees the Armor stands lined up and sees the Item Frames lined up in a line going around the room.

The player may keep the articles of clothing or the Armor he or she is not wearing in this room if he or she so chooses

Art Gallery

The Hallways leading to and from this room will be lined with paintings. The room itself will be about the size of 4 classic Console rooms in a 2x2 pattern and will have a few statues and many paintings

Season 15 Cloister Room

It's a pretty easy room to recognize. Vines hang from the walls and columns in this room

Tardis Storage Room 23a/23b from Invasion of Time 

I'll see if I can find a more full image of the room

Tardis Hallways and Corridors (Will be Different Depending on which Tardis Interior the Player chooses to start with)

Pool Room from Journey to the Centre of the Tardis (or at least a smaller one based on it)

I am taking suggestions for rooms that can be added to the Starter Rooms

 Feature 3

Tardis Room Pods (WIP)

Description of Feature: For the people who aren't that skilled at building, there are Tardis Room Pods. Room pods contain a Tardis Room and when placed will generate that room.

Obtaining: 

• Created at a Tardis Room Creator
• Some can only be found in Dungeon Chests or Boss drops (I may change this to Blue Prints, rather than being the room pods themselves in this instance)

Use: I'm still deciding.

• I'm thinking that the pod can be placed in some block with it's own Gui, and from that Gui putting in coordinates that determine the room's location
• Alternately, I'm also considering using the pod on a block, with the room generating in a position so that the floor of its entrance generates level to the block clicked on

 Feature 3

Room Pods Creator (WIP)

Details: Coming soon

You should be able to upgrade your Tardis to create more rooms that you did not receive.

great thread, even though many of us do not say it. We all want expanded Tardis'

 I can kind of see this actually (putting possible lag to the side for the moment)

Allthough, it could use a bit of work..

Maybe some sort of "room pods" or something that can be created with a block?

And to create the room the player must first collect all the blocks neccessary and put it inside the "pod making block"

 That would be awesome. Do you mean something like a chest with a certain amount of slots. So you can craft an item which represents a room and put it in and next time you enter the Tardis the room will have appeared

 Kind of. 

It will need a couple of mechanics though (ie: making sure it lines up right and is facing the right way).

As for crafting? 

 Well, not really. It wouldn't exactly be crafting.

I'll be back a bit later to add more details.

I have a few things I need to do

I've decided I'm going to return to this.

The "Pod making block" (I think Tardis Room Creator will be a better prototype name) will have a sort of GUI that goes with it. 

GUI

1. It will have a preview image in the upper right hand corner of the GUI that shows a picture preview of the Tardis room]
2. Centered above that image will be the name of the room
3. Below the image will be a 2 columned list, going down vertically. 
   • This list will have block icons with "x (Number)" beside it
     • The numbers are how many blocks are needed for the room. They will decrease as blocks are added in the Item SLots 
4. On Both sides of the image will be arrows which allow a user to swap between which design he or she is building.
5. Most of the GUI's space looks similar to a chest GUI. The player may place blocks inside it.
6. On the Bottom Right will Be two buttons beside eachother "Make Room Pod" or "Exit GUI"
   • Make Room pod will wipe the GUI of the items used for the room, and place the Pod in the Upper Left Most Slot
7. If the room has more than one entrance, pressing a button in the Upper left will change which door will be the one closest to the player upon placing the block

Right-clicking on the ground will generate the room 1 block behind the block the player clicks on. The entrance will be positioned with the floor level to the block the player clicked on.
