    I recall Daffa saying that one should try to use different events that do not require a wait trigger instead.

    I found this using the search option. It looks good, doesn't it ?
    A
    No! I cancelled my last one, but I work on something else now. Now worries, your map is haunting you, you cannot cancel it, muhaha
    A
    Good luck! Head up! Just a creepy, dark labyrinth running away from a cruel monster, I am sure everything will be alright ;)
    I can help you if you want me to.

    I pray for you
    A
    Hm, yes, why not. It encourages the players to search for the key and the chamber. if they know what they get, then they are going for it faster, I would say.
    A
    1. No pathing blockers, no regions, you surely avoid a lot of high numbers! I cannot think of another solution, maybe start a thread concerning this topic
    2. Hm, could be a good idea, maybe an unique item or randomized content, like either a treasure, a monster challenge or a quest/character
    3. Yes, this sounds good.
    4. That's kind of you :)

    Next time with sounds, I promise :)

    Why ? :eek:
    A
    1. Ah, I don't know, but when the cam follows the villager it does not work, so maybe add another kind of system, like when the villager enters a certain region then pan the camera in a way it looks good.
    3. Hm... Well, 'Oh hey, I finally, after hours, found the secret chamber, let's open it.... Oh no, a monster!'. You could also add both, so it can be randomized every game.
    4. Even if you know what's balance and what not, I think it is difficult for everyone to balance from the very beginning. But as you said, I guess you don't have much problems concerning this.
    6. Wow, I really have to try Minotaur ^^ By the way, for new versions, the link stays the same or do you inform your players via message ?

    Ahaha, I was scared enough by the Minotaur himself, cannot imagine it with sounds. I might try it next time with sounds tho, if they are that great.
    A
    1- The cam is really impossible to fix. If I change the angle and set it to standard view, the terrifying effect of the minotaur suddenly appearing in front of you decreases tremendously
    2- Yes, there are (around 8). If I'll add more, they could be maximum 5
    3- No story, no idea, just zero
    4- Simple additional skills but hey, maybe adding classes that give you different skills will create variation. Very good idea!
    5- Additional quests? Can't think of any. Change the Labyrinth? How can I do that?
    6- You have to play with the minotaur to see the pinging map, not with the villager!

    1. Hm, I am not experienced with cams, but maybe create a full custom cam following the floor somehow and not the villager directly ( if it is possible)
    2. Sounds good. Just spread them around the labyrinth, should be alright.
    3. Nice... Just a secret chamber in a cruel labyrinth with a cruel monster hunting you...
    What about adding a character in there and calling it Oracle's Chamber ?
    4. Tho, I myself am not sure whether it would be a good idea. Yes, variety, but also imbalance. You would have to be super careful to not overpower one class.
    5. Hm, I thought of quests that slightly influence the Minotaur and give him some advantages, like a minion or invisible sentries and such. Could spice up the Minotaur's gameplay a lot.
    6. Ah, maybe being the monster isn't as scary as being hunted by it..
    A
    1- Implement keyboard movements (tough task)
    2- Add more characters in the labyrinth (because you hardly find one)
    3- Give a utility to the secret chamber. Do you even know there is one? Currently, it's useless. If you find the key (which is very difficult to find) and open the gate, you would've done all that in vain :/
    4- Add some skills to the villager. It's just too boring to have Adrenalin and some humble generic commands only, don't you agree?
    5- Make the game more exciting when playing the Minotaur. Currently I just get very bored with him (you know you can play him by setting yourself to player 11 right?)
    6- Fix the map ping issue (that's for minotaur playing only) because it doesn't seem to ping right. Sometimes it pings for dead villagers I recall


    Ahh, luckily I always play with sounds muted ;) but I will once play it unmuted to get scared in your game...

    1. Oh, that surprises me. A labyrinth map surely profit from a key movement system, but make sure the cam is fixed
    2. There were characters ? Oh... Yeah, add more, tho maybe keep in mind that there is a monster lurking around there ( the Minotaur) and it would be kind of strange to have many humanoid 'good' characters around there, wouldn't it ?
    3. No, I wasn't aware that there is a secret chamber... Too busy running around escaping from Minotaur. But hey, nice idea! Already a story on it ?
    4. Hm, indeed. What are your plans regarding abilities ? Do you create hero classes or do you add different skill trees and such ? Or just simple additional abilities ?
    5. Maybe give him additional options, like optional quests or supportive tasks. Giving him the option to change the Labyrinth would be interesting, what do you think ?
    6. Ah, hm, I cannot recall a pinged Minotaur, but hey, I was too busy looking in the dark whether something big, monstrous is coming 0.0
    It seems more white than Cyan IMO :D
    I think it's like light blue, though I'm not sure myself :>

    Still, thanks :D
    A
    Oh I understand :/ I am sure that you can find all leaks and fix them tho :) I look forward to see news!
    A
    Ouh, hard times, I see...

    By the way, how is it going with the Minotaur project ?
    A
    Ahhh I understand! Well, I think he got a lesson.
    I already imagined your home being completely destroyed, but well, this way you didn't have many losses.
    2 weeks without Internet and telephone, hu.. I hardly managed to survive one week without Internet :p
    respect:thumbs_up:
    A
    At least. Did you move after the fire or did you stay and rebuild/rebuy ?
    A
    Ah, no problem. I guess the lost Internet connection was your smallest problem.
    A
    Ouh, that sounds not very enjoyable... Child caretaking ?
    A
    Haha, I was not voluntarily inactive.. A thunder striked my apartment and, well, everything was fine, but my Internet connection passed out for a week until they fixed it.
    A
    Congrats to your new Staff position
    ----------
    Keep in mind that WIPs and betas are not allowed!
    ----------
    It is still in beta but it is already playable, the problem is i dont know if the crash only happens on my end or it also crashes others

    ----------
    Btw, if you need a beta tester, you can always tell me and I will beta test it for you.
    ----------
    Sure, thanks. :)
    ----------
    Noticed... it disappeared mysteriously from the pending maps section and... "ta da", the user had requested the map to be set to needs fix for some crash problem. Shame, it looked epic.
    ----------
    <\3
    But i promise i will return it to map section onc i fixed it, the problem is no one likes to be a beta tester of the map. The map thread was just dumped in the map development section so i decided to upload it directly to maps section.

    I already fixed the crash, but i will make sure that it will not happen again once you (or other moderators) review it. :)
    Holy Devil! the pending has 3 maps left, you guys are insane. :xxd:

    I guess I can start my retirement now lol joke, yeah I'll see to it. Prior to all of the absences of moderator work lately.
    D
    Oh, you're a full mod now. How did I miss that ^^ Congrats.
    You know what's interesting to watch?
    While there are many modellers, 2D artists etc who have been here for many years and are still active, most active map makers are new or not too long working with the editor. I guess mapping gets pretty boring sooner.

    Oh, before I forget:
    Shar Dundred haunts the new Map Mod.

    (Post) Thanks for support, but Im actually looking for a better way. :as:
    Thanks.

    Started as a child, stopped as an adult.
    Everyone reaches that point eventually. I wish you good luck with your own projects and upcoming years, nevertheless.
    No, I was not aware

    I remember in the old world editor you could change any value, I was actually disappointed when I found out you can't do that in the new.

    Would this work for other values too? Like the unit height above ground?

    I used to set the unit height above ground to -1, which makes them at the highest point in the game. When they are attacked it creates a lighting effect across the whole map
    all spells in the later of the game become super efficient

    however, I will look into making it more powerful and more costly.

    I've played my game through, with in 1 hour 20 minutes, I am able to kill Chinz... but I;ll look into that
    You know, I've been thinking.

    Perhaps I shouldn't have watched your every move and judge it. I might have been too intrusive with my advice even though you didn't want it and I apologize.

    Continue the way you think it's best with your modding. I won't interfere anymore.
    Yeah you got pro m8. I am da best in english in my class, and I always get 85-100 from science lessons. I never, ever prepared myself to an exam. I always just do --->some<--- of my homeworks and play games. Thug life :D But I generally end up being not that bad, I'm certainly not very good, but surprisingly for a guy like me who doesnt do anything at home I get pretty good points. I should really start working at this though, if I worked harder then I would be one of the best in my class, not only that and if I keep going on like this then I will never learn how hard life acutally is, currently I only have a house and a food to eat because my mom and dad support me, when they will be gone then I will not be prepared for what will come :|

    And I understand what you mean with dumb thoughts. Its annoying when you make a little contact with a girl and your friends are like ''OOO do u luv her?'' and then I'm like ''Wtf dude were 12 remember? -_-''
    ''Worse? Ok, here is a summary about my life.
    I used to live in Italy in a beautiful villa with a garden but at the age of 7 my father thought of bringing me to Egypt where I went to live in a humble tiny apartment. I've lost all my friends, I couldn't pronounce a single word in Arabic and I could scarcely speak English. Now it's better, I can speak those languages well but still I'm not so happy. Not only that, my father eventually had to leave us and go to England (even if he's in America now) to find a job and maintain my mother and I so basically I grew without a father. Siblings? I got two much-older half-sisters whose mother seems to detest me and tries in all ways to let me look like the evil son in front of my father. She and one of my half-sister keep sucking money from him for useless frilly things so we are left with a few money to live with. I tried to convince him of this but he wouldn't listen to me since he couldn't accuse her daugher of such horrible things.
    Some of my relatives even tease my mother because her Arabic accent is awful and that's not funny to hear you know. Oh right, since my mother can't speak Arabic well, I have to do and say literally everything since the age of 10 and now I got very tired of this. I had to behave like an adult when I was just a child and that was really oppressive. Whenever there were problems, I was always the targeted one (and it's like that now).''

    Okay wtf I have a great family, great friends that dont bitch about me being a brony, and great everything, except better consoles =|
    Sorry for being so hard on you. I like you because you aren't dogmatic, you didn't instantly become all offensive and unreasonable. It's cool that your open to talking about it even if I become a jerk sometimes.

    Yes. Currently Egypt and Ice-is(sorry I can't spell it) has been getting reports of Catholics being killed because of there religion.

    What news have you heard on the topic?
    You obviously don't read the news. Catholics have been getting slaughtered by Muslims in Egypt, what's worse is that the churches are being burnt. Absolutely no respect for God, but I can understand why you are so blind. The Muslim religion doesn't believe in the news, they believe it's written and made by sinners and thus must all be lies even if the whole world reports all the same thing
