Thanks,

Hm, I think DK2004 was referring to some sort of gridded ship system for the ships. (U)Bolt_Head and Launcher(U) both made a map with it on it.

It's great seeing you making a large rpg, but note that don't over complicate your map, they don't always come out to the conclusion being what you want and may lead to unfixable bugs.

And make sure you finish this, and keep us updated about the map.

ur armor system isnt unique... mainly since i showed/told you about it... qPirateKing put it in his map and i'm using it in my map lol

Sounds great Turtle heard you first talk bout making a pirate map make when I first joined clan and you outranked me lol. If you ever need help with terrain I am sure for you I can throw in a hand if you need it. As for the armor system if he releases his map with it first then it is unique and avalon I havnt seen you finish a map yet so yea lol or maybe his system is different . Really doesnt matter though just as long as the map is good. Good Luck Turtle and remember your family at MC is always here to help yea and yes even some the odd balls likes ivan and self that hang around too

no it wont... pirate already has it in his map and the map is awesome....

Turtle: Maybe you could use that system, but add more to it.

Avalon: Are you referring to Pirate's LoH map?

Yo Bringer maybe u could show me sum things u could do with the editor with terrain. Use jungle terrain and show me sum Caribbean area layouts: EX: Docks, beaches, etc..
Just show me sum ideas

Lots of people could show you ideas like that... use alota sprites and things... Make it have lots of grass, beaches, ships patroling, islands.

For docks use extended terrain of a bridge...

You would need wide open areas... Tall cliffs overlooking the sea...

Turtle: I could help you a lot with the terrain...

Guys just send me sum ideas on a map, like wut it looks like. That would help alot. I use SCMDraft btw.

no im referring to a secret map of his which he has made.....

yo Pyroman wanna stop dissing up my map? thx

Seems like a very in-depth rpg... Lets hope you can finish it...

No need to hope. Turtle WILL finish it. If he don't, I'm not gonna be a happy guy.

Yea and Alpha is evil when he isnt happy and I could maybe sense demotion. Alpha would'nt ban Turtle from clan b.c Turtle is well our buddy . Turtle will finish it just like I will finish my map I hope b.c If I don't I may need to kiss my VIP spot and the making sure people get there maps dones job goodbye lol. Also Avalon man plz stop dissing turtles unique thing too .

Like I said, if u got any terrain ideas for the caribbean, put them on Editor and show me. It would help make the game a lot better, as far as appearance goes.

Sounds very good but very very complex. I like that you added a lot of original ideas; I cant wait to see how all of it comes out. I suggest you finish the most important features and making the map playable. Then you can add more features like items, abilities and all the features you listed. I hope you can finish it. Keep yourself motivated and good luck !!!

Thanks for the support everyone, remember new ideas and feedback is always welcome.

I think the 'Engine' should be first, like all the non-story line triggers before you start doing anything to the story (maybe just make the intro), so when you test the story, everything you need to get and can get will be right beside you

and to say this map i think will be pretty cool if finished

Yea, I'll be doing the engine first of course, that will take the longest and then i can just do the story, which shouldn't be too hard. (I hope)

Thats basically what I said. "Make the game playable". Just means that you shouldn't start working on features first you should focus on the "Engine" first like you said.

EDIT: This was meant to be posted before TurtleBoy's last post.

u got that map by any chance?

Not anymore, sorry eXiLe.

Yeah, I already heard the thingy about grid system... can someone explain me how it's working or send me a tutorial or anything....


Hum... This map sound really complicated... when it's complicated I see "bugs" around... You should Use :::Sid Meier Pirates::: game travelling concept... like you had a ship, go into a small piece or earth with a building on it that represent the city than make appear the boat on water near a bigger city somewhere in the map...
