Its non-existent. That's the joke.

EDIT:
Woot, 800th reply.

lol! devlin, thats a nice offer, u shud take it. how is everything going? are you stuck on anything i can help you with? or is it all ok?

3 Years and still no completetion! Lol jk. But does this mark the 3rd year?
You have some competition with the poster above D:!

I've had tons of competition since I started this map. In my downloads folder, I have at least 4 or 5 other copies of Monopoly that various people started and could never finish.

This is only the second year, I believe. I wont let it hit 3.

Just know that I have confidence in you! We believe you can do it!

On march 3rd it will hit the 2 year mark

Yeah that's what I meant to say. We've passed one year and we're coming on the second.

How long dev, how long....

2 months, 3 days, 23 hours, 47 minutes, and 11 seconds.

As for a more serious and thought-out answer, fritfrat says he'll be done in a week. Once he's done, that will leave only the house/hotel triggers and the chance/community chest triggers (as far as major ones go). After that I believe I just need all the jail, railroad, utility, tax, and Go triggers.

In layman's terms, once he finishes, the map will be about 60% to 65% complete. The chance/community chest triggers make up about 20 more percent. And everything else I mentioned above makes up the remaining 15% to 20%.

lets hope you finish this off for the cook off

any assured date for beta testing? If so please do tell.

To update everyone, I have sent devlin the map. I did all the purchase/land/rent triggers, but they currently aren't set up for when the players cannot afford to pay the rent.. that still needs to be done.

Just a minor detail I overlooked...

>_>

<_<

No harm no foul, devlin. I'd say the best two options of doing it I thought of would be using an unused score and leaderboard the debt, or use a death counter and trigger duplicator it to fit onto the 3 didgits in the middle. Besides that, like the progress I made?

Devlin, you can send me the demo please?

If there was one, I would definitely send it.

Lol! Okay...
So... What's done for now? Update your first message!

Well I remember this Thread (or a similar one) when I still have been making Maps...And that's over 2 Years ago..

I also have mentioned that I started a Monopoly Map (don't have good Screens on that PC because all my Maps are on my old machine, but I found one screenshot I made some years ago): http://mitglied.lycos.de/xxxfanta/Monopoly.jpg

It had already rollDice-Triggers and movement-Triggers built.

Just wondering that you have a similar way for making the Actions (I used to have also a Civ in the middle...And I can remember that I showed the Map somewhere in a Monopoly Thread by you some years ago ;D )

But why aren't you finishing it? Shouldn't be hard - just time consuming...

Greetz,

it sounds like devlin is more motivated to finish this map now, from his recent posts. hopefully it wont take too much longer.



i like how you have those smaller squares round the exterior of the board. im guessing you were going to use those for the player tokens and use the bigger squares for the Houses and Hotels? Probably the best way to go. and the chance and community cards look cool. i think devlin has mastered the terrain though. look at his screenshot.



yes, i wouldnt call it easy, but it takes a long time. planning is probably the most time consuming part. im working on a monopoly map at the moment, and you gota think about all the stuff that can go wrong. the difficulty is, creating systems that communicate with each other, not just simple individual systems that work by themselves

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK DEVLIN

Hey, target,
I can recommand some terrain for the houses/hotel?
MINE! » HERE «
And an idea for a "Special mode" :
Add also a Pyramid (it would be like +3 hotels!)
Okay... let it go... that's a bad idea!

Hm...Yeah thinking before working is quiet helpfull...(I spend 48 hours working on a Chess Map with ~7400 Triggers...though there would have been easier Methods then testing every possible field )

I used the Squares on the right for a system to save the order of the chance and community cards (I can't remeber it good enough...But I wanted to place Units there that represent those cards).



Bigger squares for the player tokens and on exterior part of it (with the light terrain) there would have been houses and hotels.
The smaller squares had Units inside for the diffrent Street-Name (tried to use same units for the same streets so it makes sense)

That's actually what I've build some years ago...Only Dice/Move-Triggers work:

Though I've been somehow proud of myself in the early days

Greetz,

omg 7400 triggers! how lol? u got 64 squares right? 9 units? 9x64=576 triggers, which covers all the player movement options, and im guessing thats most of the triggering out the way? maybe theres something im not thinking about?



its a shame you didnt finish this. was looking very nice. i like how the dice work. you get to see a picture of them in the minimap. i think devlin has done that as well as showing the amount of money in each situation. i cant wait to see that!

It was this one, but it hasn't been two years yet. The first post was made on Mar 3 2005, 07:36 PM.


Yeah, I have the Civilian in the middle as well. I remember you posting about yours in this thread, well after I posted the screenshots for my map. I'm pretty sure I know what you're insinuating, but I was the first person to post a Monopoly map in progress on SEN. I assure you all my ideas for this are my own. The only idea I may take is the one suggested to Target about a five minute break every hour (because you can't simply pause the game and assume the other players will not resume while you're gone ).


Because I have more important things in life to deal with than a StarCraft map. And though I do plan to finish this, the bills, work, and maintaining my very own fiscal responsibility seem to be more worrisome at the moment.


Yeah, now that Fritfrat has done all the work I was dreading, it seems like I can get back to work. Much kudos to him.

No that's wrong
It worked a bit harder...Don't know how to explain...But if you wanted to move your queen from D1 to D8, it checked if there was also something in the way (om A2 AND/OR A3 AND/OR A4 ...)

The Map (but I'm sure it isn't the latest version and it surely has somebugs):

Ah..found a list I made about all the possible fields every figure can arrive (in total)...


Took me a month to finish



Sorry ...Though it was already old when I posted it



Yipp can understand that...That's why I quit SC (though I regularly checked this Forum
