) is connected with the island security system; the computers in the EA have access to all cameras on the island, including those in the sewer system. So the computers in its control room should have access to this network as well.This all started when Mitchell/KillerBee256 suggested using videos from TLW game for PS1 that represent the InGen computer system on Site B. They look really cool and he thought it'd be neat to impliment them for our menu somehow. Since we already have a perfectly good menu done up, thanks to TrikeUatra, this obviously isn't necessary. However, I decided that it could be an opportunity to do something fancy for the computers in the EA. So far, all trespasser games/mods have featured fairly out-dated computer systems. This is inspired by the book timeline. In the 1993 movie of Jurassic Park however, the computer interface system is significantly more complex than could be achieved in an older timeline. Since JPDS is based heavily on the movies, this is the level of technology we will be featuring. So I've hired Trike to develop a complete interface system to be used, which we'll impliment using animated textures on various computer screens throughout the EA and other locations. This also means that work on this part of the level will carry directly into JPDS2 and JPDS3. (BTW we'll be enlisting Slugger's help quite a bit in getting the animated texture sequences to work correctly - that's gonna be fun! heh)
Some things that will be included in the interface system are:
- Interactive map display of Site B
- Active radio transmitters
- Sewer system overlay
- Power distribution monitoring/active power plants
- Electrified Fence monitoring
- Location analysis (raw data display)
- EA facility map override (displays zoomed map of EA instead of island)
- Comprehensive security grid access
- Security door lockdown protocal (used to open critical location areas with emergency locks, was activated during attack)
- Weather monitor system
- Internal communications network (used within the EA only)
- Dinosaur biological database
Another idea is that some of these systems will require computer clearance, which the player will need to find certain things for. This could either be in the form of a password or security card swipe. Heheh.. we could also include a top-secret file access, that requires a retinal scan that has been set to Andre Halvorson. The player would be required to bring his severed head to the control room and place it in front of the scanner. There goes the game rating... XD
I could either put it on an out-of-the-way computer in one of the labs or something.. oooorr.. I could stick it on the computer in one of the trescom member rooms. Lol who knows.
), and the Species Database!
The only drawback is it means even more textures to load the SWP with, especially if we load the system with a logically extensive list of employees.. (inotherwords only listing the ones we wanted to wouldn't seem logical). Let me know what you guys think...
