wonder what should i do

[Dracula]

i want to make a good rpg map and i think i can make one with my level of map making skills and am sure i can make good blanced heroes but the thing is that am a lazy person :roll: so all of my rpg maps are done with terrain and alot of items (belive me in one of my maps i made like 500 custom items) am bad with terrain and i dont like my terrains and i dont have any 100% complete maps i love making maps but am just too lazy, every time i open WE within 30 secs i feel like going to sleep (even in morings) i wonder what should i do

Sounds like map making really isnt for you. That or you just cant find inspiration to finish your maps. When I get tired of the world editor a take a few weeks break from it. Usually after playing enouph of other people's maps I get the drive to work on mine again. But lazyness is the enemy to all progress. If you can find a cure for that, pantent and sell it immeidatly, because you could make millions.

maybe its because of school...its like i wake up go to school and then come back with 7 hours of playing time...and i start making my map in summer which i had the most times but the map will take forever to finish anyways...so then my friend told me to make a hero seige map for him and i finish it just looking for a image for the map then i can post it...and the rpg am making is MU online i know someone made one already but i dont like it, so because i know alot about mu and its a fun easy game to make so i started, it was not easy theres over 2000 items so far i made like 500, before i use to make like 25 items per day then i got bord,i have compelet 3 towns davias,lorencia,and noria and there will be no mods for my map because of 2k items will blow my map up already

It's normal, once you run out of ideas you can't continue. Like VG said just play some other games and maybe you'll collect some ideas (not necessarily ripped off ideas, but innovative) then work again. I've left my maps untouched for months at a time. I've also worked on a map for 5+ hours at a time. What most noobs don't understand is sometimes you can do some experimenting and searching to answer your own questions, and that's what I do.

Well,l Im not lazy, but I have a limit of only weekends on the cpu. but I can think what Im going to do on my map next week during the 5 days of school, like asking friends for their hero requests. I do this eveery time and my War Of Heroes (AOS) is working well. Try it, you will feel inspired when making ur map. On holidays, I do like what VG said. Try what I said, weekends on cpu. But still, make sure that u plan ur map carefully or u will keep abandoning ur maps and create new ones.[/code][/b]

I will usualy work on a map till i fall asleep on the keyboard for like 7 days, then i get bored, and my work rots for a year... Then im like "Hey, i should make an rpg" Then i accidentaly hit load map, only to find "The Rpg". So i open it, work 24/7 on it, and stop working on it again.

The morale of the story is, work like a crazy guy, then leave it for a year.

Note: If you have a team, you usualy work harder and longer, so if you have a simple project, you usualy get it done with a team.

-The cure to lazyness:
A red bull (The drink), some balsomic viniger, some coffee, and a coke. (Mix em together, tastes like crud though)
-This is guarenteed to wake you up... forever .

I usually get lazy and quit making some maps. But when i'm determined in making a map, I stop at nothing. Of course, I also have small breaks, but I never left a map that I truly wished to complete behind.

Example: Eternal Chaos, Wanderers of Sorceria (not out yet)

yea modelers right if you get team you feel more detemaned to get it done

 

[Dracula]

i have alot of ideas, but those takes too long to finish thats y i get bord, i think of ideas in skool time, but then i never know if it blance or not if i dont do it on the WE right? i dont like yo work with teams, cuz its like u edit the map for a while and then send it back to someone else, that is still slow, but i like to work alone anyways, cuz maybe i only turst my own skills

last night i was updating my hero seige map and i got bord for making 10 spells... :roll:

but i like to work alone anyways, cuz maybe i only turst my own skills

Thats perfectly understandable. I'm a strong believer in the saying "if you want it done right, do it yourself." All my maps/campaign were solo projects.

well ill get back on making maps, cuz i wanna have a complete map, then ill post it here, it will be the frist map that i post and it will be the frist map that i made , cuz every other map i just dont feel like making it cuz of bad terrain (and am a really bad terrain editer :roll: )

 

[Modeler]

Yes, but its simply impossible to be good at everything: Terraining, triggering, creating art, skinning, modelling, cinematics, UI design, ect. Theres a point where if you want to make a truly unique map, its just impossible to do it all.
Like, i can do a few models, some lousy skins, horrific UI, great triggering, great jassing, ok cinimatics, with some TERRIBLE artwork.
So i basicaly suck at art, so if i wanted to make say a new UI, it would probably take ages, and totaly suck. So I'd need a team to make it for me.

So like i said, its impossible to do everything alone, and if you do, its usualy not top quality, and takes a very long time.

*But, there's no problem doing something alone, it can be quicker if your project is contained to say an Rpg that doesnt need new models, skins ect.

Well that was a pointless point indeed.

well am almost finish my her seige map, theres only like 50 spells left for me to do, then u guys can see if its a good map or not, after all its my frist map done anyway

but the only bad part is that i dont know how to do spawns for exsample:
player 12's food equals or less then 0

then i dont know what to do, so for now i just timed the spawns, so some times u have to wait a while for it to spawn or it will spawn when ur not even done killing
