Staredit Network

I haven't done anything well mappingly in quite some time and I wanted to test my limits with a decent size project full of complex systems, so over the summer you will witness the birth of Project Modesto, a Fight Club map. Expect updates daily to thread, and juicy details of what the fighting system will be like. (If not the other systems. ) Don't expect a full blown RPG, but don't expect a standard map either. This map will be full of melee violence instead of mainly plot driven adventuring and cool looking spells. (Not to say that I won't have cool looking stuff, just don't expect wizardry and witchcraft.)

I loved fightclub so I hope u finish this map Actually I think ima watch it later today. Anyway good luck with this and it sounds fun. Ill be glad to test it if u want

You were serious about this map?

Well, it sounds hawt, finish it soon

Everything I say is serious, silly.

>Begun work on city 1

There will be 4 cities, they'll be identical but each one will have only one player in it. The only time the characters will interact is inside Fight Club, but everything done in a city affects all of them. Don't expect the biggest cities ever, but they will be cool looking. Badlands and all.

>Begun work on the melee fight system.

The characters will be civilians while they're in the fight club. So you have to be fast and have technique to get the fight system running smoothly. As soon as I finish it I'll release a demo map. I intend on the fight actions being Punch, Kick, Grapple and Counter. You don't block in Fight Club, ever. The health system will have individual metres for each leg, each arm, your torso and your head. Damage will be done through a strength system. As an exmaple.

Player one is fighting player 2. Player one has 5 strength points and player 2 has 3. Since strength and endurance will be different we can ignore player 2's for now. Player one roundhouse kicks player 2. Since the roundhouse kick was perfect it lands dirrectly on his head. 5 zerglings are created at the head for 2000 milliseconds and they do the damage. I haven't quite worked out how endurance will go, but I think countering will be traps activated at the location to kill the zerglings faster than normal.

That's cool.

Due date?

October-ish?

When it's done, it's done.

>Refines detection system further.

I'm cutting it down to 3 players.

why 3 players? 4 would have been even

This map seems interesting, hope you finish soon. And Echo I think 4 players would slow down the realease date. Copieing all those triggers.

Hmm.....so is it free roam city?
go around build stats up, then fight?

Seems like it!

What if I don't go by the rules?!?!


Good luck with this dude, looks good. FINISH IT...OR ELSE!

Or else i kill N0B0dy- caus he can't say hes killing you

You screwed up the rules, unless you meant to change them.

What'd I screw up in them?

EDIT - I just checked and they look fine to me, but I took the rules from the book, not the movie.

You have "You don't talk about fight club." up there twice.

You've obviously never seen/read Fight Club... Those ARE the first two rules.

As for having 3 players instead of 4... It gives me room to have less triggers, less lag, and more control panels.

Nice language. Well Syphon have you done any of the systems? Did you do the Day/Night system?

I dont even have to say it...whos Tyler BTW?
hows the stats system ganna work? whats the ingame fighting ganna be like?

Day/Night system is the last thing on my mind. Fighting is the first, then stats, then work. Then when all that's done, butterfly effects. Then if I don't add anything else, Day/Night.



Tyler Durden; He can do 500 crunches in 5 minutes, has never witnessed birth. Benches 425 lbs, has never written poetry. Uses stairmaster 60 minutes a day, has never had to run to save his life. Self improvement is masturbation, self destruction is the answer. (Ad for the movie.)

(He's the guy Brad Pitt plays in the movie.)

Anyway, I forsee the finished fight system as the two fighters going into a ring, they'll each have their sexified grids overhead detecting every little movements.

The stats are probably just going to be Strength, Defense, and Speed. Each part of the combatents body will have it's own health, and the strength will determine how much damage is done with each attack. (Everyone is a civilian.) If a body part is taken out, it'll affect your moveset (And possibly make you forfeit the fight.)

We're going to have different fighting styles, probably 4, that your fighter can train for. Their level in each will change their moves. I'm open to the fighting styles, give me your opinion here.

For fighting we're going to have a building with 4 units buildable, probably gonna be a gateway. When you build the units you do whatever move it represents. (The move change depending how you train through the game, the start as Weak Punch, Weak Kick, Weak Block, Mercy.)

I'm pretty sure that i've already played a fight club map but it sucked pretty badly, let's hope this one is alot better.

This game sounds pretty sweet...
What kind of fighting is it?? do we get special abilties
or will it be a like 1 zlot vs 1 zling or something?

I still want to know what the 1v1 fighting is ganna be like...virtual HP or what?

Read my previous posts. Also, Moose killed suggestions topic so suggest what type of fighting styles you want to see here. (It'll mainly jsut affect aesthetics though.)

I'd like to see the legendary fighting style of Truman Capote.

Little do most people know, but Truman Capote was actually a powerful martial arts master who fought crime and deflected bullets with his elbows.

Somehow I doubt the map will have guns...

How do people feel about drunken boxing?

Also, I got my terraining style down for this project. I found a nice way to do curbs, but no sidewalks, expect early screeshots by next week. Also, I'm currently terraining on a 42 inch bigscreen tv, so it might be pictures of me standing next to the buildings. Which will be cool.

I made parking lots, and a few buildings. For some reason smaller buildings are harder to make... Work is progressing nicely for one of my maps.

Kung-Fu
Drunken Boxing
Truman Capote

Comon, someone else has to have ideas for fighting styles.
