Runescape ORPG

[master maste]

Hello everyone,

I am interested in creating a orpg based on the classic game runescape.

if you dont like runescape then leave now and dont flame.

also dont ask if you can beta test because i will just say no at this point in time.

If anyone is interested in helping me recreate this game then please show your interest and tell me, also post some ideas you have for the game, and what area you specialise in (terrain, items, abilitys etc) as you all know a game of this type will take quite a resonable amount of time so only join if you are committed.

I can do anything with GUI triggers, at your service

 

[ApocRhino]

i can help with terrain..only played runescape once or twice for like 30min but i can still help w/terrain.

Are you including any of the quests? I think a few of the beginner/non-member quests would be cool, possibly starting with the one where you have to collect all the stuff for goblin armor dye (gives you the opportunity to explore and learn about the world, if you aren't familiar with Runescape already), and ending with the defeat of Delrith with Silverlight.

all im goin to need to know is map size and were u want towns n stuff like that ..and wut types of worlds b/c u can only use a certain amount of terrain tiles

 

[master maste]

ok to start with terrain first.

ApocRhino I think that the map will need to be quite big otherwise we will have trouble fitting stuff in, so 256 by 256. . .
also to help you maybe go onto www.runescape.com and print off the map. Note: probably best to start with making tutorial island then we can work from there.

terrain is the most important part at the moment then we can continue with the rest. :shades:

world:sugest a world, im thinkin dalaran maybe, got any better sugestions?

edit: BlargIAmDead I think it would be a great idea to include quests, especially some of the earlier ones.

maybe treasure trails aswell. (getting revenge on members )

edit edit: and knights the triggers we will need are:
1) triggers for mining, wood cutting etc, note: probably will be using abilitys for mining etc unless anyone else has a better idea.
2) a save load code would probably be good, I've course you dont need to make it from scratch but just sourcing one would be good.
3) start making the triggers for quests.

I am currently working through a whole heap of options of what will be used for what in the game, and doing runescape research.


is anyone there?????

 

[BlargIAmDead]

As far as research goes, have you read the "miscellaneous guides" part of the Runescape manual? It's got some information on the races, history, etc.

Also, how will resources be handled in this game? Will gold take the place of iron, coal, mithril, etc., or will there be separate resources for each?

 

[master maste]

I'm thinking gold will be gold, which is only shown at the top when the money is in the bank. . . otherwise it stacks in gold coins in ur inventory.

wood at the top does nothing, and we will make stackable (up to 27ish maybe) wood items all the different woods.

and iron and mitheral and stuff will all be items.

Didn't someone already make this or at least start making it?

 

[Rabarber]

There was another thread with the exact same name.

I suggest making something new. With the name "Runescape ORPG" you will get a lot of Runescape players, and you won't get a lot of non-runescapers.

Make a new Open RPG - you can even take ideas from runescape - and have original levelling systems, a party system, and so on.

And use correct spelling in the map, would you?

 

[stavious]

Someone did make this, but they either quit or its not getting anywhere... too bad .

That was me xD
its gettin somewhere, but very slowly lol ^^
ive not even started terrain yet
its got 10 of the rs skills so far though
and 213 items
wont be done for the rpg contest though

I'll make the code from scratch, less hard to hack that way. As for mining, I say you just have to attack the mineral to mine it. And for say making bars of minerals, you can go to a fireplace thingy and attack it and a dialog pops up asking which bar to make. If you have enough minerals to make it, your in buisness! . Thats the way I think things should work, just to keep it neater.

I'll make the code from scratch, less hard to hack that way.

That just sounds silly, cause if someone tries to hack wc3 maps, they will know what they are doing. There really is nothing you could do to stop it...

Btw, may i suggest that if you add Runecrafting, you add the mage dude for members that gives you access to all the altars? Would make runecraftin for your ORPG a lot easier.

 

[Knights]

Well, I'm making the code from scratch anyways, its more fun

 

[SlasherXpert]

ok let this be clear: there has been like 2, 3 or 4 ppl that started runescape maps on WC but as far as i've seen only 1 released a very early version (beta) of runescape with only the tutorial island (the map is on wc3sear.ch) and nobody seems to have actually went through with the project and complete it or at least made the non-member world.

If you actually get a map out and working (more than tutorial island) than people would most likely love to play.

I could help with triggers (I'm no pro in anything so...), finding bugs, terraining (more like small parts like towns and stuff to make it look more RuneScape-ish but not making the actual world, I hate making the BIG TERRAIN were everything builds off of because I think it's just too long and I don't have the time)

 

[master maste]

Hi everyone

yes there was an original attempt at this map, but the job was extremely poor, if you want to test it go to www.wc3sear.ch and search runescape 0.5, it is a complete example of what not to do.


hmm I'm not sure if its a good idea to change to name of it from runescape orpg to something else to bring in more players, we will figure it out once we have the terrain done at least.

thanks everyone for helping, I am creating a multiboard, what sort of things would you like to see on it?

edit: also completed a save/load code, and it works great.

if anyone has any maps with the terrain/triggers/ideas/anything much then send them to [email protected] , that way we wont have some random people stealing off our ideas alright.

any other questions?

 

[Knights]

I wanted to do the save/load code, but I will do the other things like mining and stuff if you want...

Sweet idea. I was a big RS fan. You could use the attributes, str, agil, int, as the RS attributes. If its possible to edit them. Then you could have Attack, Strenght and Defense. Sounds sweet.

Best of luck. Anything i can do? Gimme a whisp if there is.

You can use WC3 Campaigns systems on your map to save some time and effort. They have great inventory, multi-instancable quest systems and save/load codes if you need help but it would probably require some jass knowledge.
