Music In Cantr???

[Psycho Pixie]

we should be able to make instruments. Primitive instruments like drums and reed whistles and bone flutes and maybe a four string lute/guitar type thing.... make it so you wear them, like clothing so people can see that you carry a musical instrument.

"you see a man in his thirties wearing a wool tunic, leather pants, leather boots and carrying a small drum.* (or a bone flute tucked in his belt)

that way people could see who the bards are.

see? every once in a while i have a nifty idea.

I don't see how music would ever be implemented in Cantr, so musical instruments would just be a sort of clothing.

[Psycho Pixie]

i had a characture who was traveling, and the other 2 people traveling with him were roll playing music.

*whistles a merry tune that matches the pace of their walk*

*hums along in time*

*claps a good marching beat*

i think that allowing charactures to have the instruments would increase the roll play and benifit the building of this society. this is a kind of experament to see how society will develope right? where would our society, in the real world be without music?

i used to free form roll play and whole groups of people would sign on at a certain time and go to certain locations or R.P. rooms just to sit silently and "watch" or "listen" to another characture play and sing. actually typing out words to songs and giving detail descriptions of how the music played would make the charactues who are "listening" feel.

Is that a bone flute tucked in your belt, or are you just happy to see me?

Oh, I was so disappointed. I thought you mean like, a musical theme in the background....

I really like this idea, Psycho Pix. I've seen chars rp playing a guitar......it would be cool if they actually had one to play, so others could see it. And drums, flutes would both be cool too. We now have a lot of art in Cantr. I think it's time for music. I remember a thread about the development of culture in Cantr a long time ago. This would go a long way to help develop that, and the rp possibilities would be great fun.

And a guitar can be used as a weapon to bonk people on the head....
KABONG!!!!

[grayjaket]

Not the everything has to be a weapon...but i wanna make a band of insane murdering minstrels!

[Meh]

There has to be a free java applet somewhere that takes text as input.

like intrument=flute;tempo=4/4;notes=ACBGA

or something

the game would control putting the text in it's final form

drum notes would have to be fixed

there would have to be a way to merge multiple players like a drag

the message would be "you see x playing flute and y playing drum in this song. Where song is the kink that activates the applet.

to make the music automatically come up it would have to be a project

to record music...

flowers=bees
bees=wax resource
wax=records

phonograph = iron (rcord needle, needle arm, crank, megaphone), wood (case), copper (winding spring)

[grayjaket]

awesome......needs to be implemented...i mean come on..that's gotta at least be on the Programmins departments top 20 list!

[thingnumber2]

great idea phsycho.....a suggestion for an instrument: a bell...cuz that'd be cool

[Báng]

A bone xylaphone(whatever way you spell it). I can see it now....a mad man just after a kill starts playing a little tune on the rib cage of the dead...*Ooohhhh your dead, your dead, your really really dead, I killed you, yes I killed you and now your really really dead!*

[Meh]

Finding the applet and figuring out how it works would be helpful.

It could be filed under free electric keyboard applet.

Whats this topic about again? Darn it I open the reply box and now I don't know what to type.....wait I remember!

Go for the instruments & go for more cultural stuff, like being able to make stages - changing scenery, pretend swords, different variations on clothing and so forth.

lets see, in the true spirit of the game, it would take...wood, wire thread, or animal guts turned into string, some metal(we could use gold or silver or iron or steel,that would give a guitar some style).... lets just say a bunch of resources and time to make a guitar. so using said guitar as a weapon, would would break or smash the guitar seems like a bit of a waste.
