RPG The Realm of Illidion

[GooS]

"My familys lineage ends with me...

So far has the cruelty and madness of this world gone,
that a mother has seen her own sons and daughters die
in ways no one should.

What was once a glorius unity is crumbling before my
eyes, and yet my aching heart dares do nothing.

I was born a Queen and with it came the priviligies, yet
also the responsibilities, more than this old woman
can carry.

I hope that in these days of need a hero will arise, one
that will spark the light of a new dawn, so that my
failures will be ones of history...

These are my last words
I am not long for this world

-Cissian Solermus IV

I now leave Illidion to its people, hopefully, someone can
care for her, where I could not"​

Lore (Not all lore is presented in-game):

Also coming up ASAP, don't know when since Iv'e written some lore, quite alot actually but to present it in a thread seems, booring.

Zones, Dungeons and Bosses (estimates)

Since I'm having some multiboard problems (if you think you can help go to thread: ) the dungeons have been tested
one by one with just dungeons and not the inbetween PvE (I put the heroes just outside entrance) the bosses
might need to be nerfed or buffed, cuz I don't really know yet what level/gear one might be/have

More comming to fill between the gap of Zanshaar and Osdormia.

-float-off text when damaging/taking damage
-Custom UI
-Skills will be mostly triggerbased since they will relate to herostats
-Lots of environment <> player functionalities, not only open doors but used in bossfights, terrain based happenings, spells/skills and traps.
-With the attribute system comes a new setting attribute system, similar to the one in Jarrachon

All feedback is welcome. Also I'f you find it similiar to another map I would appreciate you telling me so I can alter the concept.

Will add more info as the map grows.

Screens, so-far (new terrain with map remake, much better imo):

[Vamp1re]

looks awesome ^^, good luck with the map ill give it a try when its done

 

[GooS]

thx
No more comments from anyone?
Comment even if you think the idea stinks, I want to know if the concept doesn't hold.

 

[linamus]

Pretty gorgeous orpg ;P nice story nice work. respect ;]

 

[Tubba]

You should probably rename it... The only thing I thought when I read it was "What, someone can't spell Illidan right?"

 

[thewrongvine]

lol, i dont think you did - gorgeous and spell . Anyways, seems like a nice, and soon-to-be developed map. But just my opinion, the hero names kinda seem... repetetive and kinda the same. good luck!

 

[GooS]

>Pretty gourgeuos orpg (did I spellet it right?) nice story nice work. respect ;]
Thanks lots mate

>You should probably rename it... The only thing I thought when I read it was "What, someone can't spell Illidan right?"
Lol ;D I'll think about it

>Anyways, seems like a nice, and soon-to-be developed map.
Yah not so much done yet, I'm sorry to say.

>But just my opinion, the hero names kinda seem... repetetive and kinda the same
More then strider and rider I don't deem them repetetive But I might do some changes in names, you could always come with suggestions after I've added skills so you can see what they do

 

[GooS]

Added 5 skills, say what you think of them and how they could be made better.
Also changed the name of 3 heroes to more fitting ones.
Fixed my attribute system so that it actually works in-game.

I've added bounty(gold) and XP system based on unit level and special if unit is an boss.

Not anymore done I'm sry to say, but it's a start

 

[GooS]

Update!

Added some NPC info and Itemquality info.

NPC in the Sub-category "Questgivers and Storyline adders:" adds to storyline, NPCs under Vendors just says which vendors does what.

 

[GooS]

Update!

Added some new skills as they are what im currently working on.

However I'm also working on getting the custom UI going, if anyone has any answer to the following I'd be most grateful:

With 24bit: Images are made in targa and converted to .blp imported and tested, alpha channels not working. Tried importing targa directly to see if the converter was the problem, it wasn't alpha channels still not working.

With 32bit: Images are made in targa and converted to .blp imported and tested, alpha channels not working. Tried importing targa directly, SUCCESS but a minor one as 1mb images for each part of the UI will not work.

Anyone?

 

[GooS]

Update!

Finished with 10 heroes (no all skills -not even close )) just the basics with tooltips, initial attributes, models to be used, sound etc.

Basic terrain finished layout and such. Will add details when i get to quests as they are dependant on each other.

Leveling system finished.

Experience system finished, as it is now (may change to balance) you don't earn xp from mobs 3 levels below you, you earn tripple xp from bosses and only friendly heroes within 1500 range of the slain mob gets xp.
You earn xp equal to the mobs level * 50
So killing a level 3 mob will get you 150 xp, level 3 boss will get you 450xp.
The 3 times xp from bosses might not seem as much but all bosses that "matter" are to be connected to quests so you earn xp that way.

In addition to terrain. First city Karabor finished, level 1-3 area done with creeps (must however do a creep movement system (booring when they just stand there).

Well, it's going forward atleast
I'm not gonna give up on this project, will post first story part very soon.
The first part of the story is of the creation, and with it that means I will not only create story of what happens in the game but an almost complete background/lore type story.

//==GooS

Edit:
Forgot to say, I will not use an advanced hero selection system, I'm gonna use a hero tavern but will make a small intro cinematic so you just don't "hey I'm gonna be this guy, he looks cool" but a more fitting selection for an RPG style map.

 

[GooS]

Map remake

Im restarting with this map keeping the trigger systems I've already done, but new terrain and refined lore and somewhat playsystem.

Updated thread with the text that will be used for the intro sequence and two screenshots.
also removed what will no longer be used.

will update with new info asap, but have to sleep as I start work early tomorrow

 

[thewrongvine]

Aw, I'm surprised this map didn't get more comments. It looks so much better. The terraining looks awesome! I especially like the waterfront one.

Good luck with this! :thup:

EDIT: I see that you don't have the hero info anymore. Well, if you need ideas, I'm here.

Thx hopefully the complete map will go in the same theme and 'detail' although it might take to many doodads >.<

EDIT: I see that you don't have the hero info anymore. Well, if you need ideas, I'm here.

No they've been removed, as the hero's will not be built in the same way anymore.

PS: 4 energy drinks later there seems to be no sleep before work

 

[GooS]

updated some random item information

 

[Srauxus]

Well if i can find it ill definitly download and play it. Ill tell you wat i think, im quite blunt tho and pay very close attention to detail and the small things plus id have to lan it with all my friends as well and see wat they think so u have yourself an unofficial beta tester ill comment back in about a weeks tym once iv played it a few tyms...

 

[GooS]

There is no alpha since there is nothing to play, it's mostly just data yet, no one to carry them out, and about 30% finished terrain but on the good side I havnt gotten boored with it yet xD

 

[GooS]

Big update of thread, atleast by my standards, if anyone has anything to say of the map, plz do

 

[Exide]

The Icons look great. :thup:
Did you make them yourself?

Does the map have Save/Load codes / are you planning on making Save/Load codes for the map?

>"Hero Selection

>First there will be an intro movie,"
-No one likes cinematics.
I hope you can skip it?

Why is the title called 'Part 1'?

 

[GooS]

Why is the title called 'Part 1'?

It was supposed to be a 3 part story at first, revised many times since then

>"Hero Selection

>First there will be an intro movie,"
-No one likes cinematics.
I hope you can skip it?

Ofcourse U will be able to, but I will die a little inside every time you do.

I will, with 99% certainty implement a save/load
