Well could you post some screen shots of the terrain? I would love to see the terrain, And how you are using it

Really? I have never seen or heard of it. hmph.... I guess I will have to think of a different name soon. I want most of the things in this map to be original. Even though there will be a few ideas that are the same as other people. I.E. Another god damn waterfall. Yes, I know... (A kitten just fell.) But, different things will be more original. Like the Enmhancing your vision during night time. I haven't seen anyone do that.


Yeah, I removed the old screenshot's because they super blocky, and pretty much downright bad.


Kenoli is doing a lot of the very hard concepts. But, he is not doing the work for me. He is more of a "guide". He tells me what would be niftty, then I try and do it in triggers. If I do it wrong, he explains to me what I did, but he doesn't tell me what I need to do.


What are you talking about? Not to be mean...


Yeah, I removed the old screenshot's because they super blocky, and pretty much downright bad. Same as what I said to 007 .

I could really help you with your terrain if your interested

And I'm not doing anything

Sounds nice btw.

If it's going to be so big, does that mean you are going to add a lot of sounds?

Yeah, there will be quite a few sounds. Some will be music for the are of the map. And if anyone has a problem with the map size. I really don't care because it is going to be a single player map, that way you don;t have to wait 4 hrs. for a friend to DL a map.

Some of the music will be happy, some sad. There will be a lot of ambient noises to make it feel as if you were really walking throuhg a Jungle or past an ocean.

Well, The sad thing is that, There will be sad music , Where exactly is the sad music going to be used at?

, Yes there will be a few very, very sad piano songs. You will hear them when you find out more about Ahrimon's father... There will be happy music when you do other things, like complete a quest and your holy level is 80% or higher. I still have many idea's for the music but, all-in-all, this will be a lot of fun!

Dark if you want I can get you the Crusades map, its a totally diff style/game from the rpg your making but maybe it'll give you some ideas for units or something though you probably have plently. It's one of those harder than most to find maps on b.net.

The map looks pwnage. Could I be a tester ?

That would be great -BW-, I would love to look at it. I am still not sure what I am going to change the map name to. (If I am going to.)

This map has OSF written all over it.
At the beginning write a displaytext that says you need OSF version x.x.x.
Then we have like a 300kb map. If you have THAT much work in it.

Woot! I am most likely going to go with Rexy's suggestion. I totally forgot about the OSF maps... . So, on that note the map's size will be dramatically reduced. More updates too come!

300kb I still doubt, it will be smaller

Kenoli and I have pretty much agreed that we aren't going to use the Open Sound Format (OSF) because, the map is only 1 player. You will have to download the songs anyway. So, that would make it more of a hassle if you have to go find every sound and download them seperatlry. If we put them into the map, it is all said and done. And, it's not like you are going to have to wait for the other person to download it.

You need to use it for the people with slow connections...
It would be alot easier for them if they could just DL 2 or 3 things
at once...

BTW: I can help you test if you want

Sounds Great Dark, and I think this going to be a hit when it comes out. About the music themes, I like the second to last one.. beginning with t.. can't remember. Anyways, haven't talked to you in a while on MSN.. stupid timezones -_-;;

I would like to help out if i can


Neways, I thought of something, (just some retarded suggestions)... maybe you can have something called resistance levels - like Fire, water, wind and Earth element resistance levels. And also something like item bonding, which allows you to bond items and money together to become something else. But once it is bonded, you cannot reverse it.


I believe Kenoli should post in this topic too

Forget those damn time zones!
Well, thanks for the comlpement!
Well, when ever you want to help you can. (Testing) .
And about your "bonding" spells, I think that would be neat, although we may not have room for it. I'll talk to Kenoli and we will figure something out.
Also, I'll tell Kenloi to post in here more!

I thinkt he best song is Day After
Im listening to it right now... And it seems like it might fit your map

BTW: Piano Tris will NEVER work lol...

Why not use OSF when an automatic updater is coming out?

umm if u want i can mix sounds for u.. i'm pretty good at it
i have a sample mixed from 3 different sounds in the DLDB here, a sorta dark haunted theme. Use Audacity for sound mixing, free, small dl, good.
Attached a .aup audacity file and a .wav wave file
will u release an unprotected version for the mappers here at SEN?
for audacity, either search at SourceForge or google it
perhaps u could make a heretic/evil char
for night, a space-consuming but VERY good option would be to move u at night to a copy of yout town, but covered in pylon aura..
not a very good suggestion, u would hit the sprite limit fast and lose a lot of space
a title: Crusadier

I'm sorry Dr-Sh0tgun, I really don't understand your question, (I think it is a question....)

But, what I did understand, is you want me get audicty (I think) and tkae a look at your music. (Which I can do.)

Thanks for the music, if I like it I might use it.

And about the sprite limit...

What exactly do you mean? Can you clarify this a little bit more?

He wants you to make a complete copy of the entire town covered in the Pylon Aura sprite in order to simulate night but then he thought it was a bad idea due to the fact that you'd hit the sprite limit fast.

Oh, well thanks LW.

Your used to people not explaining in full detail...
(Not referring to himself)
Don't worry sh0tgun, I'll have a few really cool things in this map. Even though a lot of people are doubting this will be a good map, I will prove those people wrong. I am taking my sweet ass time on this, and it will be a great map.

i'm a bit of a rambler..
if u attached a few music themes ur usin i can mix them to make them bettr
the music i gave was a sample of my mixin, i think im good at it

I wonder why... lol


Anywas, Dark I really like the way the map is going. Some more ideas just came to my mind. You could have status ailments, such as poisoned, burnt, asleep and parylised etc.

I always wanted had that idea for my maps, but I never finished a map, so I believe you should give it a shot for your map.
