NEW: Single Player mode!

[Forgotten_Warlord]

Last night I was messing around with campaign editor and then I got a great idea!
Make two versions of the map.
the single online multiplayer map
and then the Single player Campaign map where codes will work with either, but of course with the Campaign you don't even need codes, but it will be placed so you can save your hero and load it to the online map.

E.g.
Campaign saves: up to 3 heros.
-store 1
-store 2
-store 3
or
-save (spits out online code)

Campaign loading:
Loading area that you can select your hero and in this map you can also type
-load (code)

Its so simple I've already started working on it last night. It will simulate an MMO in the single player mode.

Cheat Detection:
There will be cheat detection too so as soon as you type a cheat will boot you before the damage is done. Also there will be an auto save every 15 seconds.

sounds nice.
adds some variation to normal rpgs/orpgs

 

[Forgotten_Warlord]

Yeah and AUTOSAVE
This is going to be so epic, and best part is in a campaign you only have to import everything once

that seems a bit to hard for me.
If you have a good character, with unique items, and you haven't saved, all is lost,
and the player don't have the fun to search all these items again.
maybe that every unit of the player will be paused, so he can't attack, and giving a countdown. When the player haven't disabled the cheat until the countdown timer reaches 0, he/she will be kicked?

o i like amiguri's idea bout 1 min with msg remove cheat or you will be kicked.

 

[Forgotten_Warlord]

Its ok there is an autosave every 15 seconds So you don't have to really worry about loosing stuff.
If they have lets say 100g, and then they type greedisgood, then they jump to what ever amount it has, then the damage is already done.

 

[real138]

wouldnt that slow the game down drastically if it was every 15 sec? make it like 5 mins

 

[Forgotten_Warlord]

I don't think so, I don't see why it would, if it slows the game then we'll increase the time length.

 

[dead-man-walking]

Once each 2 minutes?

 

[Forgotten_Warlord]

I will find the the best time length I can.

 

[dead-man-walking]

Or, maybe, disable save codes when somebody cheats

 

[Forgotten_Warlord]

Yeah I could do that it would be the same as stopping the game though. We will make it clear that the usage of cheat codes may result in the lost of current status from the last save point.
