Quest for Peace RPG Discussion

[Darg]

Since stielydan is the first person to host his map up on this forum, I thought I would make a thread here dedicated solely to his map. I'll probably make it into a sticky eventually.

I don't have too much to say at this point, cause I only played it for 5 minutes. It looks so cool! You're right about how the camera can sometimes make you feel a bit dis-oriented. Is it possible to get the camera to be a little bit closer to the unit?

Unfortunately, there will be issues with a 3rd person RPG, for example, when you are on high terrain, sometimes you can't actually see what your unit is doing.

I don't know why, but I really like the general 'feel' that this game has, it just feels really RPG-like for some reason. It's probably the camera perspective that's causing that, but it might be something else.

Good work!

Excellent work my friend! Sensational! Potions of healing kept me alive (i was playing by myself. Just Two Fisted Jack.) I brought 30... I went almost the entire way down to the bottom of the map, walked around the centaurs (thank GOD they were sleeping!) then realised the lighthouse was higher up, so up I went... Finally killed by dungeon guard (lvl 9), and only two more hits from me and he wouldsa been gone!
But as I said man, fantastic. Camera angles are awesome!
One thing: I was getting extremely annoyed when I took out two lvl 5s, 5 lvl 3s and two lvl 4s, and none of them dropped items! not nessacarily a bad thing, just different to all the games I've played. Took some getting used to...

But I talk too much, lol
As i said man, fantastic stuff......

Hey Scam im glad u liked it...

The distance to unit can be changed pretty easily..I had some complaints earlier that you couldnt see enough of the map so i backed it out a little. But i could easily make it closer again
if i get a little better at this maybe i can make a trigger that allows you to type a view command that switches the view closer or farther away depending on what you want.

-Did the mini map ping you where the lighthouse was??? it was supposed to.
-If you want some good tomes go to the ship at the bottom of the lake for a trip to Merlins Island...His house has items u cant get anywhere else and if you see merlin walking around he will sell you stuff too.
-My biggest problem with the sight thing is the bridges. Darg told me how to fix that but as of yet i havent. But it is kinda hard if u r on one. I suggest clicking on the far bank of the river to cross...its much easier.
-Any item prices need changing???

- try out the different characters
(RED)=Human mercenary
(BLUE)=Ogre General
(TEAL)=Healer
(PURPLE)=Dark Elf Archer
(YELLOW)=Mage

-Is there any way to set it so that The type of unit is displayed so that people know what unit they are getting before the game starts????I think that would help.

Thanks for playing - More to come!!!

Hmmm... I only have one bridge in my map (so far) and that's worked fine. I was lucky because i had two perfectly horisontal areas of my river bank, which were exactly opposite, and the exact right width for the bridge to fit in.
If you're using shallow water, it won't work too well, same with if any of the pylons are on land.

This game has SO much potential. I reckon if you/we could figure out a way to allow the user to rotate the camera as they desire, then this game would be awesome!

It has a very simliar sort of atmosphere to it that Ultima Underworld 2 had. Probably because you are going out on your own fighting monsters, and never really sure where the path is taking you.

That was cool fighting that murloc king! It took me a while to wear him down (like all my potions and a few ankhs), but I got him eventually!

I'm confident that, with some improvements made using the TFT editor, this map could be a hit!

where can i get the map i wanna try it.and maybe try to make my cam look like urs.

 

[Darg]

this thread was made pretty soon after I got the moderator position, and that was well over a year ago. The map has since been deleted because the author no longer frequents this forum.

It's possible I might have it saved on my computer somewhere, but no promises........

hey guys, long time no see. i stopped making maps once the tft editor came out because i got frustrated trying to learn all the new stuff. im not sure if i still have that map or not, i have had to reinstall windows a few times i think so it may be lost. if you are still interested i might be able to track down the map from one of the guys who helped me play test it. as i remember, once TFT came out the whole thing got screwy. with all the new things like hero and magic damage the whole thing went haywire and i couldnt get the map to work correctly anymore. there must be some problem with the scripting and such since the change and liek i said i became frustrated with the whole thing.

just let me know and i can look into it.
