The Elder Scrolls: Open Rpg

[Bunnyburn]

I am working on a huge project. It is an Rpg based off the Elder Scrolls Series, but it is unique from them all, with unique quests, a new world, but some things, such as monsters, are from the series, there is a huge combiniation of heroes, first you pick one of the ten races, then you select to either be an archer, warrior, or mage for that race, then you select one of six birthsigns. It has many features, such as alchemy, fast travel, enchanting. I would like some suggestions or other elements of the series that should be included, also please reccomend a good model for khajiit, gnolls are the closest i can find. Thanks.

I think an import for just the main character would be alright.

Sounds like a good plan, and I will help whenever I can. For the only (1)item system you are trying. . . I'll look into it a bit, see what I can find for you.

wll there isnt a main character, you pick one of the ten races, and then pick one of three classes (warrior,archer,mage) then pick one of six birthsigns), it is for 10 players, and since importing increases map size dramatically, im not gonna do it, so the 56k warcrafteers can enjoy my game.

Fyi After you compress imports, they don't take up much space at all

And in other words, for each class(archer, mage, knight) have different models, and then what you choose first for race, just change a bit of detail or skills that they get

 

[Bunnyburn]

even if i compress them, thats 30 models, and i am making 2 more classes, and that makes 50 models, even compressed, 50 models takes up a bit

honestly though... if you do the name Elder Scrolls any justice anyone with 56k ain't gonna be able to play it anyway... you will need way to bigg a map... way to many triggers... and WAY too many units on the map... there is no way that a slow comp will process it all and not lag

It runs perfect on my windows 98 56k... then again my windows 98 is pretty upgraded, hmm, nvmnd u have a point.

I could be wrong, but that site states that what you stated in your last post means not even you can run it. =]

 

[Bunnyburn]

hmm, my computer, although an old version, is highly upgraded, and runs better than many XP computers, and my dial-up, its really nice dial-up, i dunno what it is, i dun pay for it

 

[Eilhal]

also it may work now... but you also said it was only 15% done

 

[fratleyslaye]

What I meant, is it wont open up if its in windows 98, windows xp+ is a necessity.

 

[Bunnyburn]

warcraft 3 and the editor run fine on 98, and yeah, i hope my cp can still play it when its finished, it would suck to not be able to play my own game.

 

[fratleyslaye]

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?? lol

You stated your WINDOWS 98 computer runs elder scrolls IV olbivion perfect. . .

I went to morrowind site and it clearly stated that oblivion wont open for anything less then windows 2000!! That is what Im talking about, you made me go all off topic lol =]

 

[Eilhal]

He said the MAP he made ran perfectly on his comp... not Oblivion... there ain't no way oblivion would work on his computer

 

[seph ir oth]

Well, all I'm saying for this is don't have any glitching in your version like Morrowind and Oblivion did, rofl. What bow dupe?

Hi. I'm making a mass unit map based on oblivion myself so it wont be anything like yours but one thing im curious about is the terrain I got a 256x256 map and im not 100% happy with my terrain (probably about 70% happy if it matters) I did my best with the WEbut its just not big enough and thats after I decided to not include Leyawin, Kvatch and Anvil. (and made the road to skingrad and chorrol WAY to short about 1/3 of what its supposed to be) So im just curious when and where will your map happend? And hows it going with ur terrain

 

[Just ANOTHER]

why don't you just make scale value to 50% from 100%? then you should have enough room for Leyawiin and Anvil and something more.

 

[mxocosa]

not that I want to continue to discuss my map in another maps thread but atleast if I decrease the size of my map the size of cities will be to small gameplaywise anyways I want to know how this guy is gonna deal with it ^^ especialy since I consider detail to be even more important in an RPG than in a Altered Melee (which is probably what my map is im not sure hehe)

 

[Bunnyburn]

well my terrrain is nothing like any of the games, it is set in a ew unique world, so i dont need to worry about fitting everything into one 256x256 map, i can make as few or many towns as i like
