Title CATRINI RP (Can't think of a better name ;P)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Brief description

An RP based on various names, music, and options ect. from other RPs combined to make one small RP. Terrain will be done by a friend, everything else by me.

Based on means options and music that were used from other RPs will probably be used in this RP.

Storyline / Introduction
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What would the Players do in this game?

They would spawn units and use the options and music to emphasize certain occasions and stuff to make a story, where the unit will have a role in the story, the options would do special stuff you can't obviously do by yourself, and music for occasions and battles ect. In other words, just RP.

-Player Interface
How will the Players play the game?

They would use their Spawner (still choosing unit) to set a location where a hero or plain unit will be to start their role, and/or spawn special buildings that cannot be built. The civs would be used for special effects and spawning the units.

-What's new in your map that others have not done before?
•Nothing.

Details

-Characters
•Heroes and units, you get the point.

-Weapons
•Most units ALREADY have weapons, but I get your point.

-Items
•This isn't an RPG.

-Spells
•It may be a Roleplaying Game, but the gameplay ISN'T AN RPG, it's an RP.

-Add your own
•I already added alot of my OWN, but there is nothing other than what is already here that I have in mind that I would add, or whatever..

Made with Production Template (keep this link to help propagate this template or you get smitten!)

Edited 30th of July

When you go post, theres bars that gives you options, one of them, labelled, "progress" on the right of these bars.

I can't think of anything RP would mean, unless, replay, which won't make sense. Do you mean RPG?

Other than that, what do you mean by "based on music and options" and after reading this through, is this a movie that you make for viewers or something?

I am so exited.

RP = Role Playing
RPG = Role Playing Game

both are storyline oriented(moreso for rpgs). however, rpgs generally have a predetermined storyline and objectives, while RPs allow for the players to create their own storyline and objectives with absolutely no limits.

Requesting Terrain Person who will be willing to do the terrain for this map...if you are willing, just msg me and the first person I see who requested will be the one to do the terrain. I'd appreciate it, thanks

A roleplay is made up of two components. The terrain and unit names are one component, this is the "spirit" of the map. This is what makes the RP unique from other maps in terms of the theme. The other component is the triggers and the console. You have already stated that you are not going to do anything new in this roleplay, so you have failed to provide the trigger component. Furthermore, it seems you can't do your own terrain and you need someone else to do it for you. You have failed to provide both of the key components to the map. A recipe with no ingredients is.. nothing.

You're also just being ridiculous by having the map be 192x192. The reason every RP map ever has been 256x256 is because there is no reason to make anything smaller, unless you are just plain lazy. People who re-use old unprotected RPs and just change the names have put forth more effort than you have suggested you are going to. What's even more amazing is your four player maximum. Even the laziest of RP makers have included five people. Furthermore, if you actually knew what you were doing, you'd realize that no matter how many people you have in the game, the amount of work for you is almost exactly the same. One trigger using "Current Player" will work for any player.

Quite useful post. After a critical attack atleast you provide some help. Most people don't even do that.

At first you sound sarcastic.. but then your tone changes. I'm confused by your intentions.

I'm merely trying to give him a sense of the fact that if he is going to attempt to do this, he needs to get serious about it, otherwise anything he makes will just be garbage.

The only reason I'm asking someone to do the terrain is because I SUCK AT IT. Nobody wants to PLAY a RP with SUCKY TERRAIN. I only added 4 players because I don't feel anymore is neccessary. And I know current player works as long as it applies to a certain amount of players in a force.

Please, please don't degrade me by saying I'm not putting effort into this by finding context and turning them into something offensive to me.

Also, the map size is 192x192 is because this is my FIRST at an RP. I don't feel like having to make this MAP PERFECT just because it's not up to any original standards.

I hope that satsifies you. Kids like you are persistent, so I'm expecting for you to have a reply that will typically own the argument.

ADDITION:
Oh, and I'm calling this off. Evidently any map I make is garbage because I don't put enough effort into my maps, which was an opinion gathered off of MISCONCEPTION and MERE WORDS.

Just finish it for the heck of it. Desperado may've been a bit harsh in his criticism, but at least he gave you some advice. Some people's opinions shouldn't put you down on a map you're working on, especially if you're devoted to your work.

And Desperado, your tone does contain a bit of negative connotation in my perspective. I can see that you're attempting to give advice, but try to refrain from using words such as 'fail,' 'ridiculous,' and 'garbage.'

It's pretty hard for you to claim to be the better person when you give up before I even get the chance to reply. If you ever get the bright idea to make one of these maps again, keep the following in mind:

• 6 Players
  
• Size: 256x256
  
• At an absolute minimum, you need the following features:
  - All spawnable units (Normal, Hero, X-tra, Critters, Powerups, Special Buildings, Resources)
  - Modify Unit Health (100%, 75%, 50%, 25%, 1%)
  - Kill Units (You, Neutral Comp&P12, Hostile Comp)
  - Open/Close Doors
  - Disable/Enable Units
  - Disable/Enable Invincibility
  - Lights On/Off (Stacking)
  - Find Spawner
  - Give Units to Players 1-8
  
• Ban Players
  

Anything after that is just icing on the cake. See the link in my signature for a complete list of features you could include beyond those listed above.


Everything I type has a negative tone. I'd make a lame attempt to try and be nicer, but it would never work, I'm naturally a verbally abusive person. "Ridiculous" is not a word with a negative connotation however. I specifically chose that word in lieu of something more insulting. Furthermore I didn't say "garbage" until my second post, in which I stated that he should get serious about the map if he doesn't want it to turn out to be garbage.

Im making my map for 2 years... Not all the time... a hobby... and iv met a lot of limits and had to remake it, but i didnt gave up. Try not to give up, and dont take it too hard, you dont have to be the best

Desperado, I agree that RPs generally aren't good maps, but you shouldn't discourage the map maker. "naturally a verbally abusive person" is not a valid excuse. Also, X-tra units can NOT be created. Don't be misleading.

Personally I think the music component is pretty new (having played about 3 RP maps total) and will add a refreshing twist to things.

By the way, Catrini, the template sections could have been edited to suit your own needs. Mainly I'm talking about Details, which is tailored for RPGs, but for RPs it's probably better if you list the units available for spawning, etc.

Er...(s)he actually made a second thread rather than editting this one, but this thread wasn't really closed when that happened. Thus production is still occuring...in another thread.
