Other Open Source RP Template

RP Template

Progress:
Commands - 5%
Systems - 80%
Object Data - 10%

Notes:
I'm finally getting around to working on this. For those who don't know, it's a template with all the code (new and more efficient code, that is) so that any mapmaker can make a map like SotDRP or RARP.
The commands will be similar but not the same. Instead of using "Spawn XX <unittype>", instead (much like the doodad command) you set a unit to be created by using "unit <unittype>" and use the Create Unit ability on your spawner. Furthermore, for the sake of consistency, commands will all be preceded by "!". For example, you will type "!unit <unittype>" or "!ability <abilitytype>" or "!stat <attribute> <modification>".

If you don't know chances are you won't be using this map.

My one question is this. If it's a template what will this include in detail?

 

[Bloodcount]

hm... sounds intriguing. You are going to make a teamplate, so that new map editors, can rather easaly create RPG's. Hm... this will be good. Make sure you add atleast 5 different teamplate missions and a PvP arena to the teamplate.

Hopefully by the time I release it, everything, and more.

Nono, this isn't for RPGs like ORPG maps. This is for roleplaying maps.

... I was asking what could we expect, and if possible, something a bit original.

 

[Ghostwind]

The purpose of this isn't to be original, it's to make things easier for people.

I will add more commands though, if that's what you're asking. Not quite sure about what they will be at the moment seeing as I just started working on this.

Because it is open source, will we be able view every wc3 file which goes into the w3x?

 

[Bloodcount]

I think I will just wait untill you release it to see what you are talking about.

Yes, I'm not going to protect the map if that's what you're asking. It's going to be released so people can make maps with it.

 

[GooS]

Great idea for thoose stuck on some of the basic, yet not that easily done triggers.

What I think Windex meant is open source is when the source of the software is not in any way hidden. A map isn't open source, it's just unprotected and since that's the way the regular wc3 saves map, it isn't something really special, additionally it wouldn't be much of a template if people cannot alter it.

 

[Ghostwind]

So it was just pointless cynicism? Tsk tsk...
