Broken Realms ORPG help

[GOGETIA]

Im making a map called Broken Realms ORPG and its almost finished i just need the save/load trigger and mabye some terrain and hero work. If you could play the map i made and post any tips or feedback here that would be great Okay i tihnk i got the attachment to work

History: Well there isnt much history this is my first map and this is the first version of it so ill post more when i make more versions of it
Heroes: i made lots of heroes i guess that could be a problem with save/load codes so i might delete some of them but for the moment while its still more of an rpg without a save/load code ill leave it how it is. The heroes are all from the game i just renamed them and i gave custom abilities to 2 of them. There is a secret character for me and there is another secret hero just for testing to i can kill stuff easily. Thats basically it for info about heroes.
Map: The map is kinda small only 196 by 196 i believe and only a small part of that area is playable since its still a rough cut and needs some more stuff before i add more to the map.
Terrain: The terrain is kinda terrible without much to say about it.
Triggers: so far im pretty proud of my triggers. I made one for each hero (did i mention there are lots of heroes?). I made a creep and hero respawn. The only one trigger that i need, well i guess its a lot of triggers is the save/load system. And i guess mabye a hero tavern but thats not completely nessecary at the moment. I still need to fix my trigger leaks

Thats basically it for now ill post more when i get feedback and upgrade the map


Okay i uploaded the newer version it still needs lots of work but its up to date now

Hi there, I might test it later when i get time, but for now you should consider upgrading your thread... post some screenshots, a wall of text including info about heroes, gameplay - a history?
something that makes me want to download the map, a title and a text which tells me it's nearly done is not much to lure me.

how exactly do i add screen shots? Im new to this site and when i click insert image it says put in a url but i dont need that i just need to add stuff from some folders


There i added lots of stuff to the post but i still cant figure out screen shots

 

[X-maul]

the easiest way, and the way i do it is to upload the pictures here or a similar site, and then post the pictures like [IMG.]PICTURE URL[/IMG.] (without the . )

Did you look at Acehearts Saveload trigger?

 

[GOGETIA]

Yes i did actually i just dont understand any of that stuff... its all variables and integers and stuff that i just dont understand

Yes i did actually i just dont understand any of that stuff... its all variables and integers and stuff that i just dont understand

which is stuff needed for a save/load system...

If you dont want to use variables you wont be able to use more than vary basic triggering

 

[GOGETIA]

which is why i need somebody to make it for me

 

[Whoareyou.]

I have a save/load trigger somewhere in a map of mine but it'll take a long time to get the variables in place in ur map

I've just taken a fast look at your map, and well - ypu have to read some tutotrials for triggering and memory leaks - all your triggers leaks (as far as I could see by the skimming) and there is some glitches = you can remove trees by using Force of Trees (keeper of the groove) and clear yourself a path for whatever reason you might want.

For this being your first map it's good:thup:
But it lacks of content, and in my opinion you should consider making this an arena instead of an RPG - It looks more like some kind of arena to me at the moment, + that an RPG requires more triggering skills to create - an arena only needs some very basic triggers to work, and then you can focus more on content (which this (again) lacks a lot.

 

[GOGETIA]

okay whats a trigger leak? to me all those triggers are pretty airtight i mean they are pretty specific
Ill remove keeper of the grove thanks for that or just change his spells but i still need to keep making this map im doing it for a contest in my clan and not many people are doing it but i need to make mine best and its very specificly supposed to be an orpg
I will look at the tuts and i will start to create an arena but i have to keep making this

o btw thanks for the feedback

A memory leak AKA a leak is when you call a function in the trigger editor (you do that with nearly all actions) then some of them (Points, Groups, Regions, Special Effects and Strings) needs to be cleared afterward othervise they will create a memory leak which will make the game lag.

Look at it as if you need to wash the dishes after you use them

Here is a tutorial for leaks:

Okay i uploaded the new map and it still needs lots of work (models, fixing trigger leaks, terraining etc.) but i think its about as good as i can get it without a team.

Remember if you want to be on the team post a message here saying what you can do: terraining, triggering, making/importing models (my cps a little screwey with models), testing, and other miscellanious stuff

If you want to look at the new map go to the first post and download the map called wc map (it has a dif name i just uploaded it with that name) play it in your world editor and check it out. :thup:

bump


Cmon I really need some help!

 

[Joshman_09]

with what? U cant just post saying "i need some help" be more specific >.>

 

[GOGETIA]

erm.... look up to post 13?

I mentioned all that i need help with but i still need help with lots of stuff i didnt mention. If you can do anything and you want to help post here

Well, the thing is.. I dont want to jump on a project I'm not sure will be succesfull or atleast end up with a somehow playable map.
And as it is now, this project does not look like it's going to go anywhere. An RPG needs a storyline and a setup with hero concepts (or characters), and thats just for an instance, there could be much more than that.

I'm not saying that you should rewrite the The Lord of the Rings, but you must have thought of something when you thought of making an RPG?

I'm not trying to be demotivational, I'm just giving constructive critics.

 

[GOGETIA]

Well obviously i have some ideas for storyline and such but i kinda want to have a working map that could actually be playable before i skip way to far ahead to working on stuff that wont even matter for a while

 

[Whoareyou.]

Working on saveload trigger atm, 7 more triggers to go ...............

 

[GOGETIA]

ahh this new update is too complicated i cant find anything XD
