[WIP] Helena Like Map "DEF_CASTLE"

[ceriux]

I really miss old helena... and i always wished there were more maps like it ... so im making one its only a wip so far...

Story


Theres a small castle with a small little village inside and "random monsters" are attacking its your job to defend against these monsters and save the village.


i havnt decided which type of monster is going to attack the village/castle yet but id like to have some idea's. but id still like this map to remain a map for low/mid levels to have small groups on. so please help me out.


oh yea thats just the basic layout of the castle... there will be a field out side of it ect...

also thothie if i make a model of castle door to match that could u make it like an npc that the monsters attack?

sorta like that big wall in helena?

Effing hard code... Woulda had old_Helena done two months ago... ><

At least it looks like you're finally working on a real map here.

 

[evilsquirrel]

yes, it does look like it could do with a little visual sprucing, but theres not much i can help you with there....thats where i get stuck too :\

speaking of defense style maps though....foutpost has been in a releaseable state for several weeks >______________>

[i think i added a correct stopper if the guy dies...]
[no extra paths though, thothie]

 

[Thothie]

Tested? Posted link?

If so, maybe you can get started on Bloodrose that I spent so much time writing scripts for... Those scripts were hard! ><

Actually due to running into the item limit, I took out the Venevus' note. If it looks like Orochi is on Hiatus and you get close to releasing Bloodrose though, I'll do the model consolidation myself to get it back, or come up with some other method to complete that quest series.

i never really got a full test off, but assuming hammer never screwed things up, or MSC doesn't freak out on it...it should work properly...granded, things could be added to it, but its playable - i think...

Top ten things you never want your computer repair/network guy to say:

1. It should work, i think...
2. I've never seen that before...

EDIT: added #2

 

[ceriux]

iv herd both of those before lol!

oh and the graphical part ... i dont want it to be omg wow nice just enough to say i did try and crap... ill add a few structures ... but maybe it will make the playablitity of it more stable?

Yeeah, famous last words... Do you have a link so I can test it and then bitch at you about all the stuff that's broken?

 

[The Man In Black]

I think you can skip the former

public class MapScrewups
{

private static int randomComplaint;

public static void main(String[] args)
{
String[] PossibleBreakdownArray = { "The monster paths suck", "The map crashes when I try to load it", "Major exploits", "Monsters don't spawn", "Treasure is missing", "The supervisor turns into a bludgeon demon"};

for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++)
{
do{
randomComplaint = Math.round( Math.round( 7 * Math.random() ) );
}while(randomComplaint == 7 || randomComplaint == 0);

System.out.println(PossibleBreakdownArray[randomComplaint - 1]); //0 indexed
}
}
}


Then just forward the 3 random complaints to Squirrel
(Note to self...Too much free time on hands...)

why java?

 

[The Man In Black]

Because I like java >_>

It's the language that I'm most "fluent" in >_>

 

[Thothie]

You missed a parentheses. Applet compile fail.

 

[The Man In Black]

Aw fuck! I mean >_> I see no missing parantheses! >_>

There, compiled and tested. It works >_>

Are you like me and are more fluent in java than english?

[Iselore]

old_helena works pretty well as it is though

old_helena works pretty well as it is though

It needs monster counters or it rarely, if ever, makes it to the war wagon.

On top of that I'd like to fix the old problem it has (namely, too easy, due to the Inn Keeper being too easy to defend), and add some catapults, lobbers, and newer orcs.
