That's very, very vague, you know. Why not just ask when you run into a problem?
 
Well I'm still making my RPG so get off and let me do my work :p

Just kidding.... :D

I personally start by coming up with some ideas for 1-3 heroes, and then making them on the side of some starting terrain such as a 1-2 cities, a wilderness between those cities, and then a dungeon either past the second city or in the said wilderness. Then, I make a hero selection system for those 1-3 heroes and build up from there, adding on various stuff. I personally like to start from a corner of the map and working spreading out over the whole of the map.
 
nvm, i got the quest stuff figured out, but is there a way to make it so when you go to a spot while doing your quest it makes your screen go black for 5 seconds and than it goes back to normal but it is morning, as if your guy was sleeping?
 
Ok...how does this server split thing works, if one takes a mission, then others must too ???
 
Ill just leave a few tips here, RPGs are quite large maps because of all the places you must visit and all the tasks.

you must always include many places for characters to visit or they will end up with not much to do.

also include as many tasks as possible (not big tasks or the game will realy lagg), if you dont have tasks then your character could go anywhere at random and skip all the bosses and all that stuff.

whenever i see an RPG i think of battles to be included like say you walking along a monopoly game and if you roll doubles on the dice three times, you go to jail, it would be a bit like that if you were running through a cave, it rolls one 6 sided die and if it hits 3, you engage battle with a monster.

Also with battles in though, you should blend bosses (really strong monsters) in to your quests.

---

I will try and come up with some more suggestions and idea when i think of them.

Hope this helps :).

Single Or Multiplayer?

Is this a single-player map or a multiplayer map? I'm in the middle of creating a single-player RPG. In my opinion they are better. There is virtually no lag, coz you're not playing online, you can make cinematics coz they only apply to one person and there are way less triggers required.

If you ARE making a single-player map, I could help out with stuff. :D
 
Single player isnt fun when u got a bunch of friends waiting for ur next map to come out lol just imagine having 4 friends waiting for you to do a test then u say 'oh no this rpg is single player'
:banghead: but i dont know not many ppl on warcraft are like that ya know have friends they like to play with all the time and stuff regularly and stuff
 
I'm also developing a one-player campaign RPG style, if you run into trouble I will do all it's possible to be of help.
For example, every map in my campaign has two or three obligatory quests to finish the map and going to next act, but also have lots of optional quests that gives you XP, powerful items and so.
The optional quests you can do change with the behaviour of your hero character.
Some quests are only allowed if your strenght is great, some others if you have lots of intelligence. If you killed someone in one map, maybe there are some friends of him that want to kill you in another map. And so...
I'm working for a month on Act II of my campaign.
Intro cinematic and Act I can be found HERE

:D
 
I can use cinematics in 4player map- if someone takes a mission, other units will be paused :D

    Luckily I live in an age with electricity so it's way fucking faster, but when I was just a boy trying to find my place I had some hardcore chefs that made use do things like that by hand. It is WAY easier to get right by hand because you control it and can feel it, but it takes soooooo much longer. And on the scale a modern kitchen requires... I serve 400-500 guests on average per day right now, if I had 100 then we could do things way better
  • Varine Varine:
    But we can't do that. In the winter yeah, but I HAVE to get people through here right now so I can afford the staff that we CAN do that. We have about 100 days of summer, and if that summer doesn't make us what it will, then I can't operate the other most of the year with my staff. The owner is talking about closing two days a week to cut down on labor, I told him he should cut down on vacations and it did not go great. I do think I won though, I have to keep my fucking core staff and they have to be gainfully employed
  • Varine Varine:
    Sure some of them might take a second job, but I can't just cut my entire staff to unlivable hours, nor can I can cut them off all winter if I want them to come back.
  • Varine Varine:
    And also, there is no fucking way I'm pulling these hours come september. I only do this right now because I have to, the second I don't have to be the one doing it I won't be
  • Varine Varine:
    I have a 5 person core staff in the kitchen, not including me or Chef Ben
  • Varine Varine:
    Though two of those people are likely not making it this year. One of them has been replaced, the other I am kind of trying to. He's being a giant bitch, today I had to get onto him because in the three hours before I left he had taken like thirty minutes for cigarette breaks
  • Varine Varine:
    And he was also complaining to me the other day that he was out of weed so couldn't smoke any before work that day, and was confused about why I was annoyed he was telling me, his boss, that he is smoking weed everyday before work.

  • Varine Varine:
    Like yeah I can tell. I don't need to fucking know.
  • Varine Varine:
    So now he's getting scrutinized and will not be top of the list. I know I don't have the smartest people but I do expect them to have some common fucking sense
  • Varine Varine:
    I did do a rare thing for me and hire a girl last month without warning. Everyone was made at me because I started her at like 21, but she worked with me before and I was like don't care. She made 19 at her old job and I wanted her to come work with me, she is the best

  • Varine Varine:
    I'm going to get her a raise at the end of the summer. She wants to go to school again, but I want her to still work with me so.... she kind of can just tell me what the price is. I can go to 25 if she keeps up. I need to get her onto line more, that's what she wants, but I need her where she is and it's not fair that she doesn't get the little bit of raise that comes with it. She can do it no problem, I've worked with her there.
  • Varine Varine:
    It's just hard to move and train people unnecessarily right now. And also the line fucking sucks, it's not any more fun. This is turn and burn so I have the bankroll, and everyone suffers for it
  • Varine Varine:
    Eventually we'll get it balanced, we'
  • Varine Varine:
    we're starting online orders and stuff, but I also turn that off all the time because I barely keep up trying to be the best at Sysco shit
  • Varine Varine:
    I think it's gonna be a good fall and winter though. We're going to have a good staff, they will get along, they will be able to manage the workload and the complications, they know how to really cook this year, like every person on line knows their steak temps. Some of them use thermometers a lot and they don't always use them right, but they do know how to do it. Failure, especially in this field, is the only way to get better. They'll get it
  • Varine Varine:
    They won't get feel down while they do the thermometer, but we didn't have an instant read probe when I was learning. Like they did but god knows how off it is, you HAD to do it by feel. Even if the chef was fine with me bringing my own, it takes too long. Poke and know

    cool take it easy

    I recently had an experience with a waiter that really brought down @Varine's point about them being in sales. The first waiter just asked "anything else? deserts?" and when the table shook their head said "ok" and left. Then the other waiter came in and started going off describing the deserts and you could see the heads turning, and they finally got a bunch of deserts
  • jonas jonas:
    :p
  • jonas jonas:
    makes sense if you consider that the tip is basically a commission on sales
