Role playing game

[The_wand_mirror]

Role playing game is going to be a little mix between RPG and ORPG but it realy is mostly a online RPG.
I am writing a story and all and creating the history of the map,the history ( which i just started ) can be read here http://z6.invisionfree.com/MPBoard
I have offcourse already started the map,what ideas i have for it i better dont promise you guys anything because everything could change.
I have already made 1 island,a few of 3 houses and a church ( you will be able to enter all buildings ) and i think at least 3 or 4 dungeons..

Soon i will create a web-page for this project where you will be able to read everything about it,until then u need to do it with this information.
I have 4 heroes now,some items ( mostly armors ) and already every piece of land filled with creatures.

The maximum level is not known yet even not me because i there will be serveral maps or just one i dont know yet but making more of these chapters sounds good in my ears,anything else?

Just e-mail questians and stuff to [email protected]

Plz comment in here and ( duh ) u can also ask questians by just posting them =)

7/10 on the screenies. Hopefuly something will come of this, unlike everyones projects that they work on for a few weeks then drop

 

[The_wand_mirror]

Eh yeah the storyline eh i think im gonna move it to another forum because the current forum heavily sux ... or i make word documents and chapters or histories about different areas in the game .. the concept is rly big .. but not everything is in the rpg i will expand the history and such maybe even in a huge single player rpg or an campaign which reveals the history and such .. the forum will be changed ...

The new forum adress is: http://z6.invisionfree.com/MPBoard

 

[HappyTauren]

hehe you listened to me! you know that's right (invisionfree)

 

[The_wand_mirror]

hehe you listened to me! you know that's right (invisionfree)

yup .. when you have time to make the skins for me? i want to work at it this weekend

 

[The_wand_mirror]

I have worked at the map .. added some things and blabla ..

Well heres the BETA ,but its a little lame because most of the things arent working though but here you can see what you could expect from the map.

[highlight]BETA VERSION[/code]
-=Beta Features=-
• Only class 'Stealth' has 2 preview skills.
• Cheats type '-Password=3se7cp=activatecheats' and then type '-Cheat 01t/m3'.
• Five enterable buildings,Three dungeons,Three islands done.
• Revive by the altar on the starter island.
• Able to buy 'Test-items' at 'Armor shop' 'Potion shop' and 'Pub'.
• Able to use 'Add atrribute' option but not able to use 'Menu' option.
• Some monsters to fight,only 'Ratman' exp system works now.

-=Unfinished=-
• Ur not able to watch the INTRO
• Ur not able yet so pick your skills yourself
• Ur not able yet to get exp from every monster
• Very few items are purchaseable
• Not all islands are done yet
• The items you can buy are the only finished items! (omg eh?)
• All charachters dont even have skills yet (expect for the 'stealth' class)
• Ur not able to enter dungeons
• Ur not able to pick up items dropped by creeps
• Creeps cant drop items yet! (So u cant pick them up)

E.T.C !!! Lot of work still but well heres a little preview..

i might wait for beta 2 then

 

[The_wand_mirror]

Theres little chance there would be a second BETA so if u wanna have a preview have this one or wait for the 'Public version' to come ( 0.10a )

 

[demonsofdante]

Ok just played the beta; Here's my impression:
-VERY nice hero models
-The imported icons will turn green when they arent clickable
-I love the enterable buildings
-Difficulty setting is very nice, but easy was fairly difficult, possibly due to not having any hero abilities
-I like the attribute concept
-The menu button on the menu doesnt really do anything
-I had no idea where to go when i died, i had to restart the map a few times (I think i found the location after, but it might help to give a hint to it for newbies)
-Has great potential!

Suggestions:
-Collection miniquests, where you get something the monster drops (Similiar to WoW)
-More class options. Casters (Mages, necros, psychics?) would be great along with some sort of shape shifting class.
-Subclasses: On the menu be able to choose some profficiency for your guy. Like a magic using archer, open swordsman stealth or hit and run style stealth)
-Professions? Yeah similiar to WoW but not all of them. An herb gathering one and mining one would be hte main ones. You can add a bag to the menu thing and picked ore/herbs would go there. You could then turn the herbs into the potion guy to get special potions or the ore to the blacksmith/armorer for better armor.
~~If this is single player, which so far it looks like it is, why not create multiple maps and link them together? This would allow for further elaboration of the world and dungeons and would allow for much much more to do.~~

 

[pandamanana]

how do u make the buildings enterable?
do you..
-make it so when they get close to the door of the building they are teleported to a hole with cityscape terraign that looks kind of like a house or an actual house like I see in the terrain section (of the Hive)

 

[demonsofdante]

cityscape terrain that looks like a house

 

[The_wand_mirror]

@Demonsofdante

Your statements are fine but some of them arent neccesary to think about .. as i said there isnt not much doing in the BETA. Everything you just mensioned will be added in the version which will be released on b.net

@Pandamanana

Just create region in front of a house or building and make the region instantly transport your unit to a little corner in the map where you indeedly (like you said) have an cityscaped part which functions as a house

 

[demonsofdante]

simply suggesting things to help out and i realize it is a beta version. But the purpose of a beta is to figure out whats working and whats not and i was just providing feedback on areas i felt were lackluster

 

[The_wand_mirror]

Yeah yeah , ok .. more ppl have any comment on the BETA or not?.. (download it at the previous page)

 

[unholy_fenix]

about the beta: its a very nice start indeed, but i thought it would be a campaign. this map comes closer to a b.net rpg then a start of a campaign...

 

[The_wand_mirror]

about the beta: its a very nice start indeed, but i thought it would be a campaign. this map comes closer to a b.net rpg then a start of a campaign...

it is no campaign YET .. first i will create an Online-rpg then the story has advanced so great that other maps which are related to 'Shards of power' will be made by me

 

[The_wand_mirror]

I suddenly encounter a strange problem , when i use 'WE No Limits' and then i place a doodads it says 'WE has encountered an error and needs to close' i never had this before ..

[highlight]Plz help im afraid i have to end the map [/code]

 

[The_wand_mirror]

Ok due no-one replying .. and i DOUBT anyone can fix this im forced to cancel the map .. this is rly sad .. anyways people who dont get why i am canceling the following things happend.

Size - I had to watch the size.the map wasnt even done and it was already 3.2 mb the spells and triggers/systems i planned to implant would also take much of precious space away making the map to big to handle for b.net..

Terrain - I already begane to get over the doodads limit and suddenly WE no limits occured an error,i was planning to make a 'Big ice island' 'Ice dungeon' and also the 'Ending island' maybe another 'Bonus island' or maybe also even more dungeons .. so i NEED we no limits .. but due an error that occurs when i place a doodad this is also no option ... anyway with my future terrain plans it should have WAY OVER doodad limit numbers..

Im srry ..
I have already started a new project..

 

[HappyTauren]

dont use we-nolimits for bnet maps, that will lagg on lower connections, and you want your map to be player? dont use we nolimits then

 

[The_wand_mirror]

Yes i know it does lag .. but this map is just made so .. strange ... that it cant be finished and if it will be finished it woulndt be playable on b.net.. but 'Shards of Power' will not die .. i will contineu writing the story and in the future create an campaign

 

[HappyTauren]

WhEwHe!! that's spirit

 

[Mini-Me]

Next time also make a backup of your map.

 

[The_wand_mirror]

WhEwHe!! that's spirit

the 'Shards of Power' story is so big i woulndt stop it with this.. the original idea was to first create an online SoP rpg and then update it serveral times and then finish ADTS but now SoP online rpg doesnt exist anymore i will only make a campaign/some campaigns.. and the good of campaigns is that they cant be oversized and if they are oversize (like 70mb) they can be played just like normal anyway so!

Next time also make a backup of your map.

I dont know if that would have helped .. the error was only when i activated WE no limits and placed a doodad... so well .. it had dependit on it if it was a recent back-up or an very old back-up .. anyway i've learned my lesson for the next rpg im now creating to keep the size small and dont expect to much from WE
