We got the opportunity to demo Off Grid as a part of Milliways at Chaos Communication Camp 2019 and so decided to do something special with it, by making a mod of camp, during camp, streaming the process, and adding things to the mod as camp itself is being built!

The idea is for it to be a colloaborative project on Github, where anyone can make a pull request and add something to camp, whether that be themselves as a character, some props and environment models to make it all look more life like, a hackable device or project that someone has brought to camp IRL.

We have a couple of members of our Discord community taking the lead, the core Off Grid team will be around to lend support. You can follow progress in the #modding channel on the Discord.

The Plan

A life like (if slightly stylised and low poly) version of the camp setup based on the plans made ahead of time and some of the organic chaos that always occurs during buildup.

Locations

The Iconic Milliways Dome

This is the central hub of every Milliways village

The Bar

There is always a free flowing

The Kitchen

Milliways puts on a full size proffessional catering kitchen to feed all the hungry hackers. This often includes a dedicated bakery

The Rummery

An important section of camp and where all the lizards hangout.

The OFF GRID annex

A small addition to camp that is demoing the game that you are playing ... meta.


What is in the mod?

Well we have some ideas, but surely you do too?

Things that need to be built

A list of Props and models that the community could make for the mod.

  • Big Chaos Camp sign
  • Big logo of Milliways
  • Tents (triangular, big, small, etc.)
  • Food tent (tall,opened up, etc.)
  • Chairs of all shapes and sizes
  • Tables for food, drinks, playing cards, etc.
  • PCs, Laptops, keyboards, mouses
  • Drones
  • Airplanes (real big airplanes with cool lights)
  • Trees of all shapes and sizes
  • Sound speakers / announcers
  • Hot Air Balloons (round ones with stuff written)
  • Beer bottles
  • Kegs

Design rules for creating the models are here

Player Objectives and Things to do

Conversations on Culture

Milliways attendees can add themselves as characters that can then have conversations with the player and educate them on an element of camp or hacker culture at large.

To add your self as a character follow these steps
  • Add a Character table to the mission script and connect them to a network [link to how to]
  • Create a Character profile for them to generate flutter and sms messages [link to how to]
  • Create a converation for them to have with the player and add the trigger to the mission script [link to how to]

Collect a Challenge Coin

Players should be able to give Mc.Fly a donation and collect a Milliways Challenge Coin.
