Dungeons Concept Idea: Sound Battle

Hey! So I know I said I would not be posting anything new for a few days, but I have a really good idea. Plus I have finals coming up in a few days and I need to let off some steam.

So I had this idea a while back, and I wanted to make it. My knowledge of command blocks was too limited at the time, so I did not end up doing it. Later I saw someone else do a similar thing, so I know it is possible.

Before I fully begin, this is just a concept, so don't expect specifics, and it is highly command block heavy.

_____________________________________________________

Now! I know knew dungeons have been confirmed for Gavel, but we have not been told what. So I am here with a concept not for the dungeon itself, but for the boss fight. This would be best in a sound-oriented dungeon, but could fit with a multitude of things.

So, to help demonstrate the concept, I am going to use the song centuries by Fall Out Boy (A song I know very well). So I have not actually explained what this is yet, and that's because I want you to have all the background knowledge first.

Spoiler: Song For Demenstration

Du du du-du, du du du-du
Du du du-du, du du du-du
Du du...

Some legends are told
Some turn to dust or to gold
But you will remember me
Remember me for centuries
And just one mistake
Is all it will take
We'll go down in history
Remember me for centuries
He-e-e-ey ya, oh he-e-e-ey
He-e-e-ey ya
Remember me for centuries

Mummified my teenage dreams
No, it's nothing wrong with me
The kids are all wrong
The story's all off
Heavy metal broke my heart

Come on, come on and let me in
The bruises on your thighs like my fingerprints
And this is supposed to match
The darkness that you felt
I never meant for you to fix yourself

Du du du-du, du du du-du
Du du du-du, du du du-du
Du du...

Some legends are told
Some turn to dust or to gold
But you will remember me
Remember me for centuries
And just one mistake
Is all it will take
We'll go down in history
Remember me for centuries
He-e-e-ey ya, oh he-e-e-ey
He-e-e-ey ya
Remember me for centuries

And I can't stop 'til the whole world knows my name
'Cause I was only born inside my dreams
Until you die for me, as long as there's a light, my shadow's over you
'Cause I, I am the opposite of amnesia
And you're a cherry blossom
You're about to bloom
You look so pretty, but you're gone so soon

Du du du-du, du du du-du
Du du du-du, du du du-du
Du du...

Some legends are told
Some turn to dust or to gold
But you will remember me
Remember me for centuries
And just one mistake
Is all it will take
We'll go down in history
Remember me for centuries
He-e-e-ey ya, oh he-e-e-ey
He-e-e-ey ya
Remember me for centuries

We've been here forever
And here's the frozen proof
I could scream forever
We are the poisoned youth

Du du du-du, du du du-du
Du du du-du, du du du-du
Du du...

Some legends are told
Some turn to dust or to gold
But you will remember me
Remember me for centuries
And just one mistake
Is all it will take
We'll go down in history
Remember me for centuries
He-e-e-ey ya, oh he-e-e-ey
He-e-e-ey ya
Remember me for centuries

We'll go down in history
Remember me for centuries

Now that you have everything, here we go!

____________________

So this is basicly a boss battle, but the battle is led by a song. Now Wynncraft can do this with a song that the content team makes themselves, but I am going to use centuries for my example (as I said).


So you enter the boss room, and the boss is kind of standing in the back, head position pointed at the floor. The song starts.

As the little intro du-du-dus play out the boss slowly lifts his head. He can not be hurt during this time.

The lyrics start. The chorus part is just normal boss fight as you would expect. You spam your weapon, he chases you around, excetera.

Spoiler: Chorus

Some legends are told
Some turn to dust or to gold
But you will remember me
Remember me for centuries
And just one mistake
Is all it will take
We'll go down in history
Remember me for centuries
He-e-e-ey ya, oh he-e-e-ey
He-e-e-ey ya
Remember me for centuries

So now the first verse starts.

Verse 1 starts

Spoiler: Verse 1

Mummified my teenage dreams
No, it's nothing wrong with me
The kids are all wrong
The story's all off
Heavy metal broke my heart

During line 1 of this phase it summons some mummy minions.

When it says "the kids are all wrong, the stories all off" perhaps summon in some baby villagers that attack the player, but do 0 damage. Basically just a neusense...

Last line when it says Heavy metal broke my *thump thump* heart, perhaps there could be a heart on the floor of the arena, and it thumps. And when it thumps you need to jump or you take earth damage? (earth cuz metal)

Back to chorus...

Verse 2 starts

Spoiler: Verse 2

Come on, come on and let me in
The bruises on your thighs like my fingerprints
And this is supposed to match
The darkness that you felt
I never meant for you to fix yourself

Lines 2 causes everyone except for the boss to take damage (minions also take damage)

Line 4 causes the player(s) to get a small blindness effect

Line 5 causes the boss and any minions still alive to heal.
For this perhaps the boss should have no normal health regen (the 10 second thing most mobs in Wynncraft have) and only heal during this phase?

Back to chorus...

Verse 3 starts

Spoiler: Verse 3

And I can't stop 'til the whole world knows my name
'Cause I was only born inside my dreams
Until you die for me, as long as there's a light, my shadow's over you
'Cause I, I am the opposite of amnesia
And you're a cherry blossom
You're about to bloom
You look so pretty, but you're gone so soon

So for the first 2 lines the boss speeds up with the music.

Line 4 makes you take a little bit of nausea (to work with the line)

Lines 5-6 makes a bunch of pink particle effects appear around the arena, which explode on line 7/


The song goes back to chorus.


The the hook comes.

Spoiler: Hook

We've been here forever
And here's the frozen proof
I could scream forever
We are the poisoned youth

Now this is what I think would happen here. The boss stops moving, and the player(s) become super slow (like time has almost stopped)

Red particle effects appear around the boss, and at the line "poisoned youth" he shoots a giant beam at you. Since you are slow it is hard to avoid, bit you can dodge it if you do it just right. If you get hit, you take damage and get poison.

The it goes back to chorus.

---

So thats just how I would do it for this particular song. Since the song it short, I would have the song loop again (not including the head raising intro) until either the player(s) or the boss dies.



_______________________

Here are some other suggestion about what could happen:


If the song of choice slows down, make everything in the room slow

If the song speeds up really fast, make the boss dash forward at the player a few times, hitting the player if they pass them.

If the song starts going erreticly, make the boss teleport around the room shortly.

If the song is SUPER long, make the boss inta-kill the player (timed boss fight)



Other Events:


Explosions

Spawn Minions

Shoot Fireballs

Statues effects

Poison

Charged attack

Charge/ dash

Projectile

Heal







So as always tell me what you think! I would love to see what you guys think of this concept!

 

Really unique and interesting concept. Definitely would be cool to see in one of the dungeons.

 

Good idea, although it is heavily tps-dependend.
Because when the connection isn't stable, the music will get out-of-sync and the whole battle wouldn't make a sense anymore

 

True. I guess lag would need to be fixed first.

It also depends on how you do the music. Just via the server, or through /playsound or actually having a note block compesition...

________________________________

O shoot I realized I forgot verse 2...

Time to fix that I guess

________________________________

Nvm I have verse 3, I forgot 1 and 2...

No wonder it seemed so short...

 

"via server" is technically /playsound through code :3

 

-EDIT-


Added verses 1 and 2 and correctly named verse 3

________________________________

true

 

And what if you've toggled music off? What if the server lags? More importantly, how are we expected to create all these complex actions with a system that essentially limits us to a basic attack and one spell for mobs at the moment?

 

By using Skillz

 

This is a good idea! I would love to play with this.

 

Well there could be a sign at the door saying have music on. We already said lag would be a problem.

Lastly, I have seen this done before. And it was all done with command blocks, not even plugins. So if y can make this specific mob not actually have any spells, and just have command blocks do it all, it could work...

 

So basically have boss fights coordinated to music?
Sounds amazing!
Although none of the Wynncraft songs have lyrics so the fight stages might be a little more abstract.

 

So make a new song. The version I was that was actually working was its own sons. They even got some words in there (idk how).

I used centuries as an example cuz I know it really well, but whoever makes the music for Wynn would probably have no problem making a boss song!

 

Yeah but personally I feel that having lyrics to the song would kind of ruin the feel of Wynncraft.

 

So just sound would work as well. In the version that worked (I mention this a lot just cuz I want to be clear that it works) it bad all sound, but at some point in the song there was a "hey" or "come on"

So it's not like lyrics, but a few words or whatever.

________________________________

I think the sound battle that worked was made by someone called musicat or something? I'm not sure.

 

I think it might fit better if it was just music but with definite changing points in the tune. Like maybe at one point it just goes to really fast-paced drums and then you and the boss both get speed III or something.

 

yeah

 

I think that it would be too much stuff for the whole server because when I was doing wynnexcavation site D the copy sequence puzzle was lagging and I couldnt see the code properly. Also they would have to use their own songs or find some royalty free music but that generally dosent have any words so it would be hard for the average player to hear what kind of the song it is. There would also have to be a lot of heavy resource pack editing.
I like the concept but you would have to find a song that everyone would like.

 

How do you plan to pull this off when you guys can't add the Wynncraft music to the resource pack to make it sound better?

 

Using the resource pack, you can actually add custom sounds that doesn't replace any existing sounds. So you can put the song in different parts and play them part by part. This is not affected by the sound controls (Except main) so yeah.

 

Very Intersting concept. Would be difficult to implement
