Evil Dead


Evil Dead.. This map is based on the first two movies, at least setting wise. There's no main badass character, and that's to avoid having to follow a certain person throughout the entire game and have the rest follow mindlessly. In this one, everyone can follow their own paths through a forest, and die whatever way they wish.

Updates!
Added Commentary
Possible new ideas.
Few random adjustments..

Commentary!

Yea, so I decided to add my own commentary to the map. It goes like this -

I suck at map making.
I'm not good at it. The only thing I like to think I'm good at is ideas. I can't make complicated triggers, I can't do any fancy shît with the terrain. I'm just straight forward telling you I suck.
Ok, well maybe I'm not that bad, but still. Half the stuff I see on here I have no clue how the freak they did it. But then again, I'm using StarEdit Emerald on a Macintosh computer that can barely run OS X. Though, if I say I have an idea, I most likely know how to do it. Probably not the best, though..
Anyways...
My thoughts on this map -
It'll be average. It won't be anything astounding, but it most likely won't suck. Half of the humor may fall flat, but I'll be a dear and watch it over and over again until I think of something that's funny almost all the time. Alot of it is in it's beginning stages. I did the map without any ideas, and all of that is bound to change throughout it's creation. (Note Subtitle) So if it looks shîtty, it's because it is.

Oh, and I like my commentary. smile.gif

Storyline / Introduction


So, this group of four kids, two girls, two boys, decide to go get drunk in a cabin, yaayy. Well, it happens to be so that this cabin was the place of burial of teh Book of the Dead(!) which just happens to be one of those things that makes people into Deadites, naaaay. I don't know what other powers it has, but that's pretty miraculous right there. ANyways, these kids stumble upon this book, and a tape of some professor who reads the enchantings of the book, and weird things happen. Like, a girl.. or guy.. might get raped by a tree.. someone might get attacked by dead women with chainsaws. Another may find a way into the dimension of the Book and solve the mystery of something!
Who knows?!


Features


-What's new in your map that others have not done before?
•Evil Dead greatness.
Chainsaw weilding shebîtcheses. Mm... Shebîtch.

Also added:
Front and back entrances to the cabin, as well as exits.
Deadites and players will be able to flow through the cabin whichever way they wish.
Random possibility that a player can control a deadite.
Night and Day - Straight forward, two days, two nights. 25 minutes each. No unlimited timed amount. You have less than two hours until you become a Rotten Apple.



Details


-Characters
•Two guys and two girls. Possibly an appearance by Ash himself!

-Weapons
Chainsaws? What else do you need?
•Oh, and a couple boomsticks..
•Maybe some knives, if you've got some balls, or no common sense.
•And not to mention a shovel for some great decapitation. Or to bury things.
•Hell, maybe a stapler.

I'll keep that in mind.. But due to the fact that I don't spend much of my time with Starcraft, it'll take awhile before I get into the stages of needing multiple testers. More encouragement and many ideas, will definately speed up that process, though.

It's going slooowww.. I'm desperate for ideas. I have almost none, and the ones I have I can't put into the map just yet. I need everything else in order to know what I am going to make the map as. The terrain I have was just some random thing, to help me with ideas. Didn't help much. I'm gonna change it, though. Most likely..

Some ideas I have..

-Defend cabin until day time
-If you're out a certaim amount of time at night, you're gonna get raped by trees, or something.. biggrin.gif
-Find the body of the person who released the demons, and do some ritual to expose of the deadites?
-Depending on who finds what, people go on seperate quests?

And, those ideas are not enough to fill up this map. And I need mass chaos. Alot of it. So basically, I'm stuck thinking about things(which isn't often) before this map will take off. And I need some more humor in it..

put a big forest in and when you go out to far, you like lose sanity and something strange happens to you. im not sure what, but maybe something like you getting possessed by a demon and ur forced to attack ur friends smile.gif that would be quite interesting, i think. Maybe you can put like a cave where some demon lives that could like hunt you down and one of ur objectives is to find and kill the demon some how before u die. Put in some horror stuff to scare us wink.gif Also, for the demon possessing you, it could give the person who got possessed a seperate objective from everyone else, and every night you change into something demonish, come up with something cool biggrin.gif, and you have to conceal urself while doing the dirty missions the dark lord commands - possibly killing ur friends and if you dont do those jobs, you have to pray or something to keep the dark lord from killing you smile.gif I'd have to think about some more ideas, but i think getting possessed sounds good.

Those are decent ideas, but some of 'em wouldn't fit into the Evil Dead realm.. so to speak.
The cave thing wouldn't work.. the creatures in Evil Dead wouldn't hide out in caves. They'd be reacking havoc and doing crazy supernatural crap all over, instead of being pussies and hiding out.
And I should make it so at least one person has to become a deadite, like the night after they're attacked.. and then the people unpossesed have to lock that person in the basement until day, when they become normal again. But if the deadite escapes out into the woods, they're only allowed to terrorise at night as a deadite, and can never go back to normal.

Also.. this as gotten me thinking to putting the map on a scheduled night and day basis, so that events happen on certain nights, instead of having just a timed night and day. Hmm... it might be easier to think of things that way. biggrin.gif

Just keep putting them out there. You've helped me brainstorm some things that I'd love to add to my map.

Should I make the map two days and three nights long? The day/nights will be a half hour or so each, so that'll be enough time to figure stuff out and beat the Rotten Apple(Main boss. biggrin.gif). If you are too stupid to figure stuff out, on the last night the Rotten Apple will come tear the cabin and everything to shreds.
It'll give me more guidelines, instead of everyone just being able to roam about.

2 days (or 2 hours) is good enough, if ppl dont figure out what to do or how to win, by the end of the 2 hours they should be able to get like a few more minutes to do some certain thing to win, and if they dont finish it in time, they all get killed somehow and lose, and whoever got possessed wins cool1.gif Ill have to think about this some more though but 2 days is good.

I think it looks fine if you ask me, looks more like it was made out of rocks or wood - more natural-ish like cabins should be in somewhere people dont go alot.

Hahaha. You'd rather have the ground made of grass? The walls made with some ancient materials? biggrin.gif

And yea, the inside doesn't really look too much like a cabin now. I just did it randomly to see what it would look like with some stuff in it.

EDIT:
Muwahaha, I've finally got one way to possess the cabin. It's not much, but I needed a way badly. I figure I'd just randomly change the hp levels of the buildings and objects, as so they're set on different amounts of fire within seconds.

Yea, it was Ashley. Ash for short.. And yes, the third one was called Army of Darkness. I'm pondering if I should make some random appearance of him in the game.. Dunno for what, though.

And thanks Dead, I'll check it out.

And why don't you look at tree porn?! You sick fuçk!

Anyways, over the last week I've done almost nothing with this map except edit some terrain and add like five triggers. Sorry.. I said I was extremely slow at doing this. biggrin.gif

We can help eachother. I know a bit about triggers, not so much about anything else. So if you ever need an opinion or some trig help, feel free to ask.
