Pokemon RPG

[HFR]

After 1 day... I'm back!

More quests, and I'll try to stay in the game limits...

Oh My God! Your rival's pokemons were stolen! In needs for an good battle, you have to rescue them now!

Quest: Why I have to do this?

Objective: An mad assistant kidnapped your Rival's pokemons! Defeat him and retrieve the lil' animals, as you're in a hurry for good and challenging battles.

 

[Wazzz]

Change the Quest name to something else, perhaps something like 'New Friends'

Perhaps change the motive to being out of the good for the Pokemon in general, not out of a selfish act as I want challenging battles (remember, we must at least pretend the character is Pokemon savvy ).

Not a bad idea at all, an awesome twist indeed

 

[HFR]

Well, I don't like an character like Ash, that's like an stupid boy who only wants to think in the others. Our trainer must have an Dark side...

Daa daaa daaa dada daaadaa daa...

It's the Imperial music...

Also, Yixx, I'm too lazy to put all my quests in an text file, just copy them... And now I want to be the Quester or Quest Giver xD

 

[Wazzz]

You can be the Pet HFR or the Rent Boy, but I'm not so sure that Quester or Quest Giver would be a great title for you, as you do much more than just that. How about Lead Story Writer (Lead because we all have our input, but you are doing the most for it ATM) as well as our Retreival Hound (which implies that you are also the one who goes out to other sites to check out what they have to offer and what could be useful for us and such)?

 

[HFR]

Well, with HC here, my searching abilities are pointlessy now... But I liked the third... And I'm not a pet!
Anyway, I still think that the doesn't have to be the "nicier person" in the world. He can make some "evil" thing sometimes, like cheating...

 

[Wazzz]

Hellz yeah, he can cheat! He could buy something like Steroids and give 'em to his Pokemon!

WTH, how do you even cheat in Pokemon? Lol, it's the simplest game ever! >.<

The primary key of it is that he is focused around the better for Pokemon. But an interesting point would be that you could choose just how good or bad you become... But that would require a LOT of triggering for alternative endings. Like, you could become the leader of Team Anal Beads or just force them to disband. You could become the leader of a Defence Force or go against them entirely. It would take many quests to become leader, but you get my point, I think

 

[Lord_of_sausage]

In R/B/Y you could cheat to get easy-to-catch level 100 or above pokemons (though when a pokemon leveled higher than 100 gained a level, it lost all levels down to 99.... i had a level 153 hypno D and you could get infinite ammounts of an item (infinite rare candys )

What is my title going to be? The-guy-who-made-the-systems-and-some-other-random stuff?

 

[Wazzz]

You can be one of many titles. Here's a composite list for you to choose from:
Trigger-er Dude
System Sista
GUI Guy
Jass Jackass
The BALL CRUSHER
Batman
Lead Triggerer
Nautious Nerd
Anal Abomination

If I think of any more, I'll post them on here. Choose any one, or even multiple titles.

 

[Lord_of_sausage]

i think The BALL CRUSHER or Anal Abomination is just me

maybe we should forget theese title things, Wacky Wazzz

 

[Wazzz]

Ludicrous Lord_of_Sausage has spoken! Title things must be forgotten! Or should they?

HFR could be the Stealthy Stalker or the Obese Octapus. Or maybe just Lead Story Writer

We'll put you down as Programming for now

 

[HFR]

I prefer the first, as I'm not obese! I'm a lil' Cuby!!!

 

[Wazzz]

Right. A lil' Cuby with a serious weight problem.

Stealthy Stalker, you have many hands, like an Octopus, and cover so much area, as if you are Obese >.<

LOL!

 

[Lord_of_sausage]

We are getting a little offensive here. Lets stop while its fun, so we wont end with someone getting mad and start flaming at each other, and then it ends with someon leaving the team....

 

[varsaigen]

yes... that did seem rather offensive... >_>

 

[Lord_of_sausage]

You're good if you can read the thing in the end (the one with small text)


yea, used like 3 minutes on this animation

 

[varsaigen]

rofl XD

 

[HFR]

I lol'ed... Anyway, stop with this, and now I'm entering into an big holyday, so, wait abit, and I'll flood this thread with spa... ehhh, quests!

 

[Lord_of_sausage]

Yay! spa... QUESTS!

Im pretty much feel.... unused..... any systems needed... or something.... i don't know... terrain is what i feel like (i am well.... decent.... best at 3rd person view terrains...)

check my terrain showcase (meh... they are okay...)

 

[Wazzz]

Lol, sry if I caused any offence, HFR

The picture is pretty funny, though . Evil Wazzz! Lolzorilla!

Now, down to business. HFR is Lead Story Writer and Retrieval Hound (or if you want to change that name to something more suitable so long as it shows what else you do, you can ). Lord_of_Sausage would be Lead Programmer and Lead Systems. Yixx would be Programmer and Project Leader. Deathunter would be Lead Terrainer. I would be Manager and Lead Gameplay Conceptualist (is that even a word?!? It's to do with Concept, anywayz ). Darkxs would be Lead 2D Art and Key Bailer (where the hell is he?!?). HappyCockroach would be Lead 3D Art as well as the entire 3D Art team ATM . Did I miss anyone? I even included Darkxs, despite him dissappearing and never returning, so if I missed out on anyone, I apologize.

There will be Extra Help credits, though, for those who gave something invaluable but didn't really do much more.

 

[HFR]

Ok them, brace yourselfs, cuz it's Quest Time!!

During your mighty quest for the (duh) badges, you encounter an strange kid that wants reese pieces. Find some and return to the boy.

Quest: Profibility!

Objective: Returns 5 reese pieces to the boy.

It's just an "honorable" mention to our banned kid Pivok...

 

[Wazzz]

Seems odd. What do you get in returen for getting this strange kid reese pieces? And who is Pivok?

Hey, we should totally add in a joke one. A deranged old man comes up to you and says, 'GET ME A MUDKIP, FOO', OR I'LL EAT UR BRAINZ!!!!' and only after you agreeing to do so he reveals himself as Adolfukin. If you do this quest, you gain nothing, and as Mudkip doesn't exist in this map, it's impossible to do, anyway

 

[HFR]

This is... stupid? Anyway, PivokProject is an quite new guy here that in 1 month has been neg reped until -23, and right after, banned. See ~Void's~ signature for more information.

 

[Wazzz]

Woah, sucks for him :S

I'll go check it out.

The Adolfukin quest was a joke lol, it's a stab at how annoying he was lol. Perhaps there could be a weak miscellaneous trainer in a secret area called Adolfukin who has a level 100 Mudkip and nothing else, and his Mudkip has 'Spam Attack' as a technique lolz.

Anywayz, don't take this too srsly, unless you actually think it would work (which I doubt it would ).

 

[HFR]

We could add funny events that happened in this thread as easter eggs in the game, like an bad ass spammer trainer named Adolfuckin or an trainer named Lord of Sausage that uses balls pokemons, like Voltorb.

 

[varsaigen]

spammed to death. More powerful than a hyper beam, but takes 10 hp per second XD until poke'mon faitns rofl

 

[HFR]

Actually, you mean 10 hp per turn, right?

 

[varsaigen]

... sure... :/

 

[HFR]

Ok. Here's an nice easter egg idea: In the end, if the fannatica... ehh trainer capturated all the pokemons, we could add an cinematic or an special battle against Adolfuckin - Evil Spammadar of Doom. Speaking of cinematics, it's a singleplayer RPG, so, it must have cinematics.

Also, remember to vote in the contest!! Or else... Adolfuckin will haunt you at night!

 

[Wazzz]

Adolfukin already haunts me at night... every time I try to shower, too :S

Lol, how about we make a legendary battle against the Elite Four with us, the true-blue members of Operation: Pokemon RPG! We would absolutely pwn every member, from Bruno to Lance to Gary to... uh... Bruno! The Elite Four should be customized as well, so they're not too simple. For example, instead of having two Onix's, Bruno can have 1 Steelix (Steelix has such high Defense it's not funny! Try using a Fighting move against it, it doesn't care if you have type advantage or not!) and a Hitmontop. And Lance could have a Kingdra instead of one of his Dragonite's. It's sort of like them after you finish Pokemon Leaf Green/Fire Red.

The other option is an entirely new Elite Four, which would be better. How cool would a Bug-Type Elite Four be? It would have pwnage Beedrill, Ariados, Venemoth, Butterfree, uh... Caterpie... there'd be more, just can't think of them right now

 

[HFR]

Ehhh... You don't remember that we will only make the first 150 pokemons? No Steelix or Kingdra, I'm sorry...

Anyway, I was thinking in an hidden minigame, where you have to defeat Adolfuckin in an RC car race, or boat race. Or even an pure melee fight with him, only the trainer, 'till the Death!!!

 

[Wazzz]

No, you don't remember that it's the first 250. 150 isn't enough. When it comes to the models, we only think of the first 150 (for now), but it will include the first 250.

 

[HFR]

250 models = WTH???

200 models = 10 mb only with models...

 

[Wazzz]

No, 1 model = 10 KB. 200 models = 200 X 10 KB = 2000 KB = 2MB. With textures, that's about an extra of, at most, 1 MB. And even if we do go over, we have the Optimizer at hand. No idea what region of your ass you pulled 10 MB from...

And I said only 150 models ATM, ignoring the fact that we can use ingame models for some of the Pokemon as well.

 

[HFR]

And the big models? I doubt that Zerox's Onix is 10 kb. So far, HC only made small pokemons, the big ones will be... bigger.

 

[Wazzz]

Not really. Weezing is a fairly big model and it's only 20 KB with texture. Zerox's Onix doesn't look that great, HC could improve upon it. And you seem to forget that HC has skillz in model compression from HappyTauren himself. AND you STILL seem to forget the use of ingame models is still available. AND FURTHERMORE you STILL seem to forget that the Optimizer can reduce map's in terms of filesize imensely.

I think the most detailed model would be Ryhorn, apart from that, HC is more than just capable of creating them. And besides, look at the Beedrill model for proof.

 

[HFR]

Why not underline the words instead of SHOUT them? We have to save space for the sounds, they the have biggest size of all the resources. Also, I'm pretty sure that neither Yixx, or you, or even the team wants a 30 mb map... And, if you forgot, Yixx said that he'll don't gonna make all the pokemons.

 

[Wazzz]

Yixx never said that, he said we don't need a model for every pokemon, ergo said to HC not to bother making all the models. And we're not going to get a 30MB map, don't over-exagerrate.

 

[HFR]

Well, it needs a lot of creativy to use standard models with attachments for a lot of pokemons.

 

[Wazzz]

Again, you over-exaggerate. Simple models will be used, and it won't be hard coming up with attachments for models. It will be done, and the model filesizes are small, making it seem very odd that you'd think it would take up 30 MB. And I don't see why we need sounds, there's prlly at most only a few we need, perhaps just one for music even. Apart from that, it seems stupid and pointless to waste room with stuff we don't need when we could expand the playability of the game.

 

[HFR]

Man, an pokemon map must have pokemon musics/sounds! Think about it...

You enter in a battle! While chosing the attacks, you hear the junglish Night Elf X1.

You enter in a battle! While chosing the attacks, you hear the glorius Pokemon Battle music! da daaa dada daa daa daa...

While in a city, you stops a while and hear the epic Arthas Song.

While in a city, you stops a while and hear the awesome Eternia City Music.

The music just give an completely new atmosphere to the map, and gives an more professional feel.

 

[Wazzz]

Sounds are all good 'n' all, but they aren't necessary. If you can keep those files small, then fine, but the original concept of the entire project is to finally include all the Pokemon from Pokemon Gold/Silver, not just to have awesome music. After we have included everything we need for a great length of lastability, then we include music. Otherwise, I don't want to hear about music unless you manage to get the filesize of it to around 100 KB or under (is that possible?). And also, how do you trigger it so it's got music in certain areas? Do we even know how to do this? If we don't, then why we thinking of including it?

 

[thedeathunterxx]

lol HFR has a point...im tired of hearing WC3 music !!! it annoys me like fuck when i hear orc drums on a RPG adventure..wtf

pokemon music doesn't have to be high quality. It can be recorded (i have FL studios and audacity, and the pokemon games on my computer ) so if need be i can record some music for you with low quality and have a pokemon feel.

and the pokemon music is mainly small loops of sound, and then repeated over and over again. so each song is about 20 -50 seconds long ( maybe less ) and that can be a small size for songs ( maybe 200 KB each ) which would be awsome.

and ohh btw, simply make the pokemon music into "sound effects " and then place them in regions. and raising their tune in and tune out rate to 127, and you will have a nice transition of music between areas.

for none square areas, it has to be done the hard way ( creating regions via trigger x_X omg that is unbelievably hard and long no homo )

 

[Wazzz]

HFR does have a point, I know that, but I insist that we manage our filesizes as we do not necessarily need sounds. What we do need is a lengthy game.

What you say about the low quality, though, intrigues me a lot. I think we'd re-use the same track for a few places, though, but overall the quality would be better with sounds other than Warcraft 3 booming in the background with 'The Power of the Horde' and such. It pisses me off, too, so I just tune out .

200 KB sounds like a reasonable size, so long as we re-use the same sounds for at least 2-3 towns (no point wasting filesize with a sound for every freakin' town, there's going to be a shitload of towns :S). Also, we'd need one for battles, which I'd like to be the same for every battle (maybe a different one for Gym Leaders and the Elite Four, but that's a definite maybe).

 

[thedeathunterxx]

ya ur right. in the pokemon games, some towns do share songs. For instance im sure that cerulian city shared the same music as saffron or fushia city. the only different ones were pallet town, roads, and the pokemon league, battles and the boss ( final battles with giavonni and the head of the pokemon league)

but ya i can manage that for u, if yixx gives the go ahead.

 

[Wazzz]

Well, I'm sure Yixx would approve, but best to be sure

That'd be awesome, then you could be Lead Sound Editor as well as Lead Terrainer

 

[Lord_of_sausage]

does Wc3 support .ogg files? a 50 sec long .ogg file is around 50kb...

else, we need .wav or .midi...


NO MP3!!

 

[Kuhneghetz]

There's is actually a way to implement MIDI songs in Warcraft III.
WC3 Midi implementation - Wc3campaigns

I've tried it myself, and it works great.

 

[Wazzz]

Awesome, thx for the tip, Dan van!

Does it compress the filesize of the files as well? Or does it allow smaller files? Or does it... what does it do, apart from implementing midis?

 

[Kuhneghetz]

It's a tutorial, and will only let you do a trick to make your Warcraft III support Midi files.

This means every wc3 players have to do this tutorial in order for them to hear midi songs in maps as well.
Sure, it means more work for the players, but it's worth it due to how low filesizes midi songs can be.

 

[En_Fuego]

You'd be better off with no music, I think.
