Pokemon RPG

[Whizza]

hmmm I think the implication is script a quest and they'll get back to you...
its probs easier on both sides anyway, making sure it fits in

Im still poping in from time to time
wanna see the final vers D

 

[Dragon9560]

sounds like a good idea

 

[Wazzz]

Pikmand, although we appreciate the fan support, we're trying to minimize spam in this thread (despite us spamming it ourselves ). If you're just going to say something like that, plz save it for the submition of the map. Not trying to be rude or anything, but we have a lot of spam already (not to mention any names, HFR likes to think he doesn't spam all that much ).

 

[Yixx]

En_Fuego, it is ok if you make some quests,, but make it not like:
Talk to guy 1
Get an item at guy2/Fight guy 2
Get Back to guy 1

That is boring, and i can make that too ><

 

[En_Fuego]

okay cool. one last question:

is there going to be a game corner where you can win prizes with coins and gamble etc?

 

[Yixx]

maybe,, that is really not important now i think =P,, or is it?
Well,, it might be an idea though,, for a system,,
would you like to make a system for some games? (maybe roulette, and slots)
You can use 1 generated region (placed in WE), rest has to be scripted like:

local rect r = Rect(GetRectCenterX(GAMEREGION) - 400,GetRectCenterY(GAMEREGION) - 400)

and so on,,
feel free to use JNGP, since i do too =P

If you reject this system, it will go to LoS ok?

 

[Lord_of_sausage]

Wow. someone liked my system! HC, i agree with the paladin's name too ^^

Okay. so, any other systems needed (except the roullette one, wich En_fuego might make)
You gotta use my short World Editor fever

 

[En_Fuego]

Yeah, I can do that. I can finish that by the end of the day probably

 

[Yixx]

cool =)
Could you make it as fancy as possible? Maybe with multiboard and terrain change (according to the game) and so on?

 

[En_Fuego]

How many multiboards are going to be in this game...? >.>

 

[Yixx]

dunno xD,, but i like multiboards! =D

 

[HappyCockroach]

many multiboards are a pain in the ass to play, since you can't click behind them.

 

[Lord_of_sausage]

Thats why my system is so nice! No multiboards, looks better than a multiboard, and only 4X6 grids of space needed!

 

[Yixx]

LoS, one thing: Can you update the system, so it uses only 1 generated region? That would be awesome,
it would be nice if you could make it that only the 4x6 region is generated, and the rest made with triggers,, could you do that? Thanks ^^

Multiboards can be minimized eh ^^

 

[HappyCockroach]

Really, you system is pwnage! It'd even better with the rotating feature and a box background model customized to pokemon =D
oh im agree with Yixx, although that seems to be quite impossible, since the unit should have invisibility or something, and would look transparent...

 

[Lord_of_sausage]

So that the regions is made via Gui/jass

well, yes, should be easy, but it really is alot more easy to make the regions yourself, as its easier to define what location fits best. And if it is such a big need, i think you could do it yourself, just put in your "add region" code, before the variable is set

It'd even better with the rotating feature

Rotating would be really easy to make, but it would mean that the system would need a trigger run every 0.05 sec, or 0.03 if it should be smooth, while looking at units...

A customized background? Hc, make a plane model (Not a model looking like a plane, but a PLANE), and add a Pokeball texture

 

[Yixx]

So that the regions is made via Gui/jass

well, yes, should be easy, but it really is alot more easy to make the regions yourself, as its easier to define what location fits best. And if it is such a big need, i think you could do it yourself, just put in your "add region" code, before the variable is set

Yes probably,, ill do it myself lol

 

[HappyCockroach]

But the units will overlap together in the region wont them? like, you will see many units there at the same time, being yours only one...

 

[Lord_of_sausage]

Why should you? the only thing he does, is changing the region

Also, why do you want every single region to be made via Jass or Gui? Dont you like the Region Browser thingy?

 

[Yixx]

i already have got way to much in my opinion,, already like 50 or so ><,,
and heck it, if we can do it with a few less it is ok right? Like regions in the middle of the upperleft quarter of a region (like this

region

-- = region, | or _ = regoin end
______________

Why would you make a generic region for it? With 2 (or 3 or so) little calculations you got the same effect, and you can even set its height/width easier to the desired,,
you get it? And i just hate it that we are dependant on all generic regions =P,,

 

[HappyCockroach]

What if it had an old pokédex layout?

 

[Lord_of_sausage]

Make a model wich has a pokedex texture, and test it with the system, shouldn't be too hard for you

Your Pikachu is way better than my Charmander... I Challenge you to a MSpaint pokemon drawing contenst!

 

[HappyCockroach]

You HC, I challenge you to an MSpaint pokemon drawing contenst!
Since THW doesn't accept gay porn drawing, I'll draw a Squirtle, you can draw what you want.

Cute Squirlies?
AWESOME!

My entry

 

[Jack_Sparrow93]

What about some more screenshots ingame? I would like to see more of this project!

 

[En_Fuego]

you can only have one multiboard in the game per player at a time...soo....

 

[Yixx]

we only have 1 at a time,, the others will be destroyed as soon as the next one pops up, and we arent gonna use them for everything,,

 

[CloudMax]

you can only have one multiboard in the game per player at a time...soo....

You can still use the so called "DGUI" system that allows you to create an exact copy of a multiboard. You can make menus on the screen and stuff like that, its a really awesome system but is very advanced and needs a lot of experience in Jass.
You can find it on wc3c.net
(i prefer that more then multiboards but im not experienced enough to figure out the math coding so i cant use different camera angels :/)

And why would you need more then one to start with? You can just put two into one if needed?

 

[En_Fuego]

Hi. Slots and roulette guy here. Can you explain in greater detail how you want it done? Like do you want it to cut-away from the normal screen or what?

 

[Wazzz]

Lol, HC, your Squirtle looks like a Murloc whose face has been kicked in xD

 

[Yixx]

You get a (quite big) region in the top of the map,, where all cut-away regions are like: Houses, Labs, Gyms, Battle areas,, that sort of stuff you know?
There you can do whatever you want with tiles,terrain,doodads, everything,, as long as it is a nice and fancy game ,, ok?

P.S. tell me please how big do you want your region to be? So i can 'reserve' it ok?

 

[En_Fuego]

Size doesn't matter to me. You can pick mate

 

[Lord_of_sausage]

Hmm HC, i noticed your little edit in the quote for the drawing contenst. But if thats the way you think... well, i guess we have to accept everyone

Again, any other systems needed?

 

[HFR]

OMG, almost one page that I don't post! I need to think in some spam wise thing to write!

We need much more systens, like one used to store pokemons in PC boxes.

 

[Lord_of_sausage]

Wouldn't be hard i guess. Just storing some arryed variables with units and their data (like level, exp, str, agi, int, items, etc)

 

[thedeathunterxx]

this might sound really crazy to everyone, but i think the terrain should be redone....

in other words, create new terrain from scratch. Because working with the map that we have right now, is quiete messy if you know what i mean.

Its just a suggestion though, im not saying we have to do it....either way Yixx in the long run would have to decide that. Whether to terrain the map all over again. or keeep it as is.

there are reasons for re-terraining it. For instance, the cliff shores inhibit the ability to create effective beaches =/ not only that but the space we are playing in is quiete small.... perhaps upgrading the map to a bigger size, so that you can have all the rooms in the extra space, and leave 256 x256 for World exploration.

 

[Lord_of_sausage]

You CAN increase the size of a map ingame, but that would just let us have alot of water. Ofcause, we could have islands

But i gotta agree, We wont be able to make good beaches with the terrain we got.

 

[Yixx]

Ok, we can overdo the terrain,, then we can increase map size to 480x480 (wasnt such a bad idea after all),, which is ALLOWED BY JNGP,, so it should be ok =P
Now, if we are going to redo it all, we have to do it right this time,,

I want a snow cliff tile, a nice dirt cliff tile, grass, grassy dirt, sand, ice, some dungeon thingy, 2/3 city tiles, 1/2 path tiles,,

So: Do you think you can make the best tile set? Send me your own tileset and maybe you will win! ^^
(Picture please)

 

[HappyCockroach]

Also keep in mind that this map can be only a continent. And another map with the same units, triggers and abilities pasted can be other continent, or an archipelago. So no need of having everything in just one map, if it doesn't fit.
I mean everything for pokemon spots. 150 is a bunch, and they inhabit different environments.

 

[thedeathunterxx]

NO ! no cliffs at all what so ever !

we will make artificial cliffs, by using the raise tool, it can create steep inclines using JNPG.

i can make the map so that it has about 25 different tiles... which is A HEALLA LOT =D
but we are not creating tiles, because that takes up filespace.

Ill start immidiatly on this new map ( just a side note, a 480 x 480 map takes up 680 KB on its own...without terrain or anything )

Before i start i want to know, if we are creating an entirley knew map ? or is it still going to be the same map, just with the terrain re-done ? (i suggest creating an entirley new map)

 

[Yixx]

Well, then i ask you to get the map HFR has, cuz i dont want to lose all those regions =P,, if i have to regenerate them i will be busy for like hours ><

 

[Lord_of_sausage]

Poor Yixx, He knew this would come

I vote for making a completely new terrain, over the one we got allready. Simply just taking the map we got, removing all terrain, leaving only water back (and maybe the area in the top), resizing it, and re-terrain it. If possible, add some new tiles

 

[thedeathunterxx]

>.> yixx you would still have to move all those regions. But sure im with that.

Ive already started a new map just incase, with ever y good tileset ( has 16 tiles, 25 slots filled ) and they are all well done. But ya re doing the terrain would be a good idea. It would make terraining progress simpler.

 

[Yixx]

Ok then,, but i mean, regenerating them takes a HELL of a lot more time then moving them,, but just do it this way ,,

BTW: HFR, you still working on it? Then you can stop, lol =P,,too bad that would be for nothing then =(

TDHX: Remember! We need SPACE on top/side/bottom of the map for battle areas, houses, boxes (for storing Pkmn),, such stuff,, it needs to have lots of space,,

 

[thedeathunterxx]

HFR can have this map too. But ya sorry HFR =(

and dont worry, with a 480 by 480, there will be TONS OF EXTRA space....lol its alot of space haha

and sorry yixx, but i think we all make sacrifices when we considered this =/ Terraining a 480 by 480 map will take tons of time and energy too. Ive began the map...its lookin sexy already

 

[HappyCockroach]

This is a WIP of my pokedex Summary interface. It will have a green screen at the right side, and at the left a light blue one. also some meaningless buttons.
It is 3D to use in-game textures and animate opening and closing correctly.

OH! WTH! ME HAZ IDEAZ! LoS, what about adding a button unit that when selected exits the pokedex summary view?

 

[thedeathunterxx]

just a question but is anyone working on a high resolution pokeomon trainer ?!??

the main character i mean... Do we have an Ash Ketchum model anywhere ?

 

[Lord_of_sausage]

Nice, HC! But remmember, opening might look a little wierd, as the text only can appear when the opening is done. No text while openeing, and then "Pling" text.

 

[Yixx]

Cant we fade in the text? And HC, that would require either a trackable (which suck) or a dummy unit which you have to click,,

TDHX: I think we dont have an Ash model, but actually i dont want one,, it would be too Pokemon, and this is warcraft,,

 

[Lord_of_sausage]

Sure the text can fade in, shouldn't be a big problem.

Btw, HC, can you make some black background in the sides, so it looks like a screen?

 

[HappyCockroach]

Oh, yeah, it's gonna be a screen after all, but just to look fancy and funny, cuz the pokemon will be put between the camera and the pokedex model.
You want a black background to the text?
I was planning on doing a light blue screen at the left side, and a lime green screen at the right side.
The floating text don't really need to look IN the screen, it will look cool and unique this way.

Oh, and the ESC key is more practical than an EXIT button.
But what we can do is dummy units that when selected will change between the 6 pokemons on the party.
one to the LEFT and other to the RIGHT.
