Your maps are all pretty good, some better than the official ones from the SXCollection. :D Thay still don't beat Mabuse's though :|

Please don't quadruple post like that Jinnaraka. One post would have been enough. You can have multiple attachments per post and place them in between text if needed.

Ok, I looked at the comments later and realized lots of people contributed to the code. Sorry for the confusion.
Thanks for commenting out my name in the code a few versions ago. You can tell the person 'sexy' code doesn't really do anything.

Too bad! It's really fun. When we used to play with 5 players in versions 1.4 and 1.6, we had to have really good team work to beat any of his maps on Mad Mode. I recently played a castle of cantar with 4 or 5 players, but we weren't using good team work and so we all died off ;). Natural selection hard at work.

Re: SXC Development

Post by SpoOkyMagician »

I started designing a new sxc map. I have the map almost complete. (I just have to add a few touch up's here and there.) It's going to be very similar to SXC_SpoOky_Forest. (What can I say? I love spooky themes. Heh...) The name of the map this time is SXC_SpoOky_Castle. The story is basically, five friends head out to the remains of a large castle/fort. They heard rumours that it is haunted by the soldiers that died during battle. Against your better judgement, you decide to check it out anyway. Pretty straight forward storyline. The general layout is the castle/fort in the middle, shops remain far away in the four corners of the map, and there is an outer wall protecting the castle/fort. It will take me some time to code out the scenario. Most likely, it will not be balanced at first. I will have to run it though a test run at some point with 5 pro sxc players on the hardest difficulty. Anyhow, I will let you know more in a bit. In the meantime, you can check my current map design.
Spoiler:

edit: I think the general design of the map is complete now. Take a look... ( http://img858.imageshack.us/i/mapscreenshot000.png/ )

edit: All that is left now is to code it... I think I will work on it tomorrow though. I have some things to do at the moment so... Until then...

I cannot open it at the moment. It says illegal characters (assuming custom terrain.) I will change it to something different so I can view it for now. Once I can view it, I will give you my opinion. ;)

edit: Is this a devel map? I noticed the terrain codes looks like it. I'll undo my changes real quick and check...

edit: Ah so it is a devel map... (*looks*)

edit: Very impressive map design. IMO, it could use a few touch up's here and there. Although, I myself find that I am extremely picky when it comes to map design. For example, I must of edited the map above many times before I liked it. It even took longer then it should of I think. But again, I am just picky like that... I think it's up to the map designer's creativity/ideals/etc for what a map SHOULD look like. Although, considering that the map is 100x80 roughly, that is still impressive nonetheless. Large map are much more annoying to fill up compared to smaller maps. On smaller maps you always tend to run out of space where you want to put something... while large maps, you always are trying to figure out what to put there to "take space up". Heh... Anyway, I like the map. Good job.

edit: I might as well start working on the scenario... I may/may not have time saturday because of "Thunder over Louisville". I really dunno If I will go or not... The river is flooded and there will be less space downtown... I usually go with the family so, we will have to see... Anyway, I'll keep you posted on this WIP SXC.

edit: I basically copied/modified SXC_SpoOky_Forest and removed unneeded code/comments/etc to SXC_SpoOky_Castle. I also updated some comments too. A lot of them were out of date. I have yet to go back and update the enemy side. I will get to that soon enough. I need to make sure this is working properly. Wish me luck. :)

edit: The general setup is working fine. I will continue to work on it in a bit. Taking a 10 min break.

edit: Completely updated the sides/allow/disallow recruits and whatnot. Now, I just need to add stuff to the scenario...

edit: Here is the current cfg file for the scenario. (Version 0.3)
Spoiler:
edit: I also had to update the map for the water side. I will post the updated map later. Not required right now.

edit: I need to go for an hour or so. I will continue to work on it when I get back. Although, I won't get much done today. I'll get back to this asap after Saturday.

edit: I am back but I have to go sorry, I will have to continue Sunday. Farewell for now.

edit: Seems I was on the news at Thunder over Louisville... ( http://www.whas11.com/video?id=119983684&sec=553357 ) See: -1:20 I am the one in the middle with the black jacket on. :P Find me? Heh... It's very blurry so it's hard to see me. But, I assure you, that was me... After watching it again, I was the one that "looked up" at the camera. I was trying to hide myself. Didn't know he was recording. The others was friends/family. It was pretty cold... 40ish degrees, raining, and windy... But, we got through it. It was one hell of a final too. But, you have to be there to understand. :P

edit: Anyway, I need to work on the sxc.

edit: I took a few hours to try figuring out how to make a unit transparent. I looked around for awhile and the only two solutions I came up with at the time was alpha unit variable and animation alpha variable. Neither worked. Until I realized there was a wonderful function to help me out with the effect... I can't believe I noticed the "image_mod" effect. It works perfectly now. Now that I wasted enough time with that, I can continue working on the scenario... xD

edit: I am now finished with the general concept of the scenario. Note that it still needs to go though testing/balancing. Any suggestions/comments/etc please post here. You can test this if you wish. Put the map in the maps directory and the scenario in the scen_new directory and it should load just fine.

Only those really serious about making game or those super boring SOB come to this forum frequently. I am not both, so I rarely come to this forum. It is not me ignoring your warning at all. I will continue add more people to my ban list, but I probably will make a better ban list, so no SOB can find it. Something like when certain people play the game, he will have less gold or maybe more to make other player thinking he/she is cheating and all. It will fun.
