I r bored. Suggest Map to me :]

[Jon]

I haven't been doing much after my LostCaverns map and was wondering if there was anything people would like. I thought maybe of picking something from the beta world map thingeh, but I wasnt sure what was done or picked up. Anyone throw something at me I could give it a try. No promises

In before MiB plugs his map concepts

POUNCE!

Eh... People don't want my map ideas

 

[Dridmar]

POUNCE!

I would be interested in hearing about some of your map ideas.

 

[The Man In Black]

No one who MATTERS wants *Cough* Nevermind....

I'll send some along in a bit. Busy with a few other things at the moment ;-)

 

[Thothie]

Your LostCaverns doesn't look done, at least, not the copy I have. Got some major flaws going on in that ice-snow area.

Let me send you a alpha-pack to test with.

Reminds me, I'm going to need a alpha/beta/ralphs test group for old_helena soon. Tis small, but complicated and lengthy map, and I'm fearing edict errors or CPU swampage from prolonged battle.

 

[Sabre]

I can provide a dedicated server for you to use...Just need a time...And of course, the map and such.

 

[Thothie]

I've a server... I just have to organize a bunch of people with an alpha pack, when I'm ready. I'm not just yet, both maps need some polishing and I need to expand some scripts.

I suspect Helena2 is going to be fine, even with all the expanded dungeons to play with - it doesn't really need an MP test. Old_Helena, however, is looking a tad intense, and I don't want to have it work like MS 1.35 Helena did before I patched it up. (ie. where the greatest challenge getting through the map without it crashing.)

 

[villager]

You don't got to make it look awsomely insane with hundreds of details with pure action and 30 orcs coming at you from 10 different directions, I just want the damn orc waggon/cart-thing back!

 

[Kh]

volonteer to beta test

 

[Jon]

The Alpha thing I got had a pretty old version of my map. I don't know if thats the one you were using >.>

I still volunteer my ded...The reason being, you can test the map based on level groups, and more tests= More bug reports= Less bugs on release

...Nevertheless, I volunteer for a betatest .

 

[Thraxis]

I'd deffinitly be up for a test run or two. I have...all the time in the world open right now as I was supposed to go out to West virginia and that got cancelled -.-. However, happy MSC times now yes please kthnx?

 

[Dridmar]

I am also up for testing it. All I would need is a time and place.

 

[FER]

Im up for testing too

 

[The Man In Black]

As am I, if I can find the time ;-)

 

[Thothie]

Still not ready...

Actually, I've not added any details to speak of with old_helena - you know I'm gameplay over aesthetics - indeed, it's the original Helena map (got the source from Lord K a ways back). I've had to change the way it works, however, to make it work well, and added new events. (More than just wagons come rolling in). The MSC monsters just do a lot more than the old MS 1.35 beasts, and come in a larger variety, tis the only point that has me worried. I might have to rig up something where they don't drop anything on death, reduce their numbers, or such, but we'll see. I gotta finish the scripts regarding the "plot" of how you got there too.

 

[Moira]

If you need another lower midlevel player, I volunteer as well.

 

[Thothie]

Need mostly mid to high (kinda rigging toward 30'ish), however, since I'll be using server side characters, anyone can test - I just have to copy map test characters over their ID's.

 

[Moira]

Or I could speed grind those two levels and get to thirty...

Do I recall correctly something about the SC being the sum of the sublevels divided by 7 then rounded up (quick math and testing seems to prove this as correct)? Does that hold true for overall level? More arithmetic and testing seems to prove that wrong cause to get my level from the sum of my skills I need to divide by 5.1428... So, does the calculation involve the the sum of the levels added to the sublevels divided by the number of levels added to the sublevels? Or is it something else entirely? Or did I make a more than likely math mistake? Gasp.. Say it isn't so. :j

I ask this to decide on the best strategy for me to go up levels at this point in my character's life. Is it boosting strong skills that are easy to level because they do damage, or levelling up the weaker ones that are easier to level because they need less exp to level up.
There comes a time (26 and beyond methinks) when the XP requirement plateaus for each skill get so large that it has to be quicker to level up the lower ones.

But regardless, I was offering myself as a tester only if you needed another pair of virtual hands... of which, it seems to me, you have plenty already.
However, if you do need me when you the test the map, and if I still fail to meet its level needs, then my player shall be yours to temporarily transmogrify as you see fit.
If you're doing that by default and everyone gets "map test characters over their IDs", well it won't be a wasted experience seeing how fast I can level twice using strategy instead of just levelling as I wander around, helter skelter like...

P.S. Aren't we very far offtopic?

 

[CrazyMonkeyDude]

Your level is the sum of your two highest skills divided by 2.

 

[Moira]

Is it?
I'll check when I get home.
Thank you for the information. : J

If you don't mind my asking, how did you find that out? (in case I missed a thread containing such useful information)

 

[The Man In Black]

Information passed down from the elders ;-) It's just one of those things that everyone knows. I don't think there was a thread about it (unless there were other new people asking the same)

 

[Moira]

I see... expected as much.
Thanks MIB. : j

 

[Picadilly]

Moira if you really want to see MiB use the force, ask him to explain how your SC level is derived. That one's always good for a laugh, and lashings of the ultra-violent.

Spoilers: There are a couple of hidden magic classes too!...
