They may have it under the tutorials database.
Ya I agree with sessase... You should use a system like that... It will be better because you could have a part of the map open water... and otherparts cities/islands/caves... on the open water you could have enemy ships sailing around... That would be a good place for ship battles..

yo Pyroman wanna stop dissing up my map? thx
plz tell me where i was dissing your map? lookie there.. nowhere. I was simply stating that the armor system isnt unique if its been done b4.
Likes like theres quite a good amount of features to put in, so question is, whats the ETA on it?
Pyro has a point. But it's still very uncommon.
I Don't really care wut pyro thinks, the armor system is new to me, OK? IM SORRY IF I DONT PLAY SC

ING 24 HOURS A DAY AND LIKE KNOW ALL THE SYSTEMS. Jeez, u

in nerds
Ok, relax. Not like we're really dissing your map. Saying that it sucks or something. (Which it clearly doesn't)
How far done is the layout right now? I want to take a look as soon as possible.

Due to the fact SaLaCiouS suspended my aE[Fortune] account because of an arguement we had over AIM, I'll be using this until 12-18-04 at 5:02 pm.
In any case, Turtle chill out. No one is dissing your map, this is what SEN is used for. Constructive criticism is something that will always be involved with your map if you post on this site.
The armor system is good, I still think you should add more to it.
Sorry, i was kinda mad. Yea Alpha I'm almost done the layout. And if u think i should add the armor system, give me sum suggestions on how.
Thanks

As you can tell this map will be one of the greatest rpgs, i hope.
Well, don't we all. However, good ideas are pretty hard to implement. What do you have so far? Any screenshots?
Effective way to do Armor is (from Truer Diablo 2) use spare units as Armor. While the current player has an Armor on, his main unit will be Invincible. If/When the Armor is destroyed, Invincibility will be turned off. However, if you are thinking of an Armor that lets damage pass through, I suppose you can simply have Invincibility toggled every few seconds.
With "computer controlled crews", are you going to sacrifice Computer slots purely for this purpose? If not, I suggest using Heroes or other units, one that you will only have one of in the game, and assign each to the Heroes. Something like that.
Don't use caps (i.e. yell), it'll only make you one of the Lunies.
Yea, Ill add sum screenshots soon, however the terrain will look much better once the spirtes are added, and ima do that once im done the map. Also, thx for the armor system suggestions, ill put them into mind. the reason layout is taking so long is because i got around 7-8 towns to do, and i want them all to look badass.
ADDITION: Also, alpha ima need sum pirate music for my map. so if u can come up with sum Piratse of the Caribbean Music that would be great. As for the sound fx, i think i can do that on my own.
Thanks
alpha has the pirates of the carribean music he gave me a while ago called "jacksparrow"
Ya, i still got those wavs from about 9-10 months ago. Just ask me for em on BN.
So you're basing the majority of this map on Pirates of the Caribbean?
No, none of it is really based on it. I just wanna use the music from hte movie.
Will this map be, in a way, like Space Pirate War RPG?
Or perhaps, the game Freelancer by Microsoft (or Escape Velocity for [boo] Mac fans)?
K it wont be like Space Pirates, iunno wut those other games are. Ull see wut its like once i release it (couple months(
Can we see some screens or anything? sounds like its gona be good!
Screens will be coming soon
Sweet, map sounds aswome dude, i cant wait!

_Of terrain?
_Will you be releasing a demo version?
This Rpg SOUNDS great... but can you really pull it off?
You might want to add in multiple maps if you want to make a serries... If this is an open RPG it would be very diffacult to put all the ideas you have into one RPG...
_This is an open RPG!? I sure hope not, that would ruin the whole idea. Open RPG's are way to cliched.
dont worry its not an open rpg lol-
