The World Of Death RPG: now on add-on server!

Post by profyverya »

Hello, everyone. I have played Wesnoth since 2013 and a few days ago I had decided to create my own RPG campaign. I developed it for month since December 2018, but then I abandoned it until may 2019. Now I'm happy to publish the first public beta version on Wesnoth add-on server.

I'll be happy to hear feedback from you.
The most recent version you can download from Github: https://github.com/profyverya/TWoD
However, the most recent stable version you can download from Wesnoth add-on server (only 1.14)
Special thanks to:

Re: The World Of Death RPG 0.2.1: more RPG features, AMLA, new missions

Post by Heindal »

So with more freetime now, I could finally try it. Good work for the first steps. It's still a little empty in the towns, but you can already fulfill missions and level up you character. I've haven't seen any bugs so far.

___

Wording ( i know I'm not a native speaker, but here are some wording changes, that may sound smoother):

First Chapter

"I don't know is it good or bad" - this seems wrong. Either "I don't know if it's good or bad, ...", or "I don't know, is it good or bad. But..."
"Come to me adept" instead of "Go to me Adept"

"together we will defeate" ... the e is to much

"But for this ..." better: "But in order to achieve this ..."

"I give you" ... better: "I will give you ..."

"if you would fulfil" ... "if you fulfill"

Dark Capital:

".. so no army ever had ever conquered it" ... better: "... "that no army has ever conquered it."
"In the center of the city there is a strange castle." ... better: "In the center of the city, there is a strange castle."
(without the comma it seems wrong :P)

____

Missions - first missions worked well, I've killed the walking corpse and received my payment.

I tried the other mission with the ghost, I don't remember the coordinates, and there is no label showing the mission.
The mission was spawned outside in the next area in Underworld. Ok, I admit it was my fault, because it was the first play through.

You should add a way to abort the mission, and/or give mission information when entering the town guard.
like "Recruit! Have you already fulfilled your duty?: Kill a ghost on coordinates: x y in Area xyz."

____

AMLA

It seems you can only select the amla pathes damage, movement and strikes once. So if you level up and increase damage, the next time you level up you can no longer decide to do pick increase damage again. I don't know if this is intended, however it's charming as it limits the strength of the player early in the game.

If you want to change the amla behaviour change number for max_times. You can also add an icon for your amla pathes, using image.

[advancement]
strict_amla=yes
max_times=100
description= _ "Strength: Improve Melee Damage"
image=attacks/claws-animal.png

[effect]
apply_to=attack
range=melee
increase_damage=1
[/effect]

[effect]
apply_to=max_experience
increase=20%
[/effect]
[effect]
apply_to=hitpoints
heal_full=yes
[/effect]
[/advancement]

You can also connect amla paths by using require_amla=

[advancement]
id=hardinesspath0
max_times=1
strict_amla=no
description= _ "Hardiness - Path (1): Steadfast and Higher Resistance"
image=icons/shield_tower.png

always_display=yes
[effect]
apply_to=new_ability
[abilities]
{ABILITY_STEADFAST}
[/abilities]
[/effect]
[effect]
apply_to=resistance
replace=false
[resistance]
blade=-10
pierce=-10
impact=-10
[/resistance]
[/effect]
[effect]
apply_to=max_experience
increase=25%
[/effect]
[effect]
apply_to=hitpoints
heal_full=yes
[/effect]
[/advancement]

[advancement]
id=hardinesspath1
max_times=1
strict_amla=no
require_amla=hardinesspath0
description= _ "Hardiness - Path (2): 15% more hitpoints"
image=icons/potion_red_medium.png

always_display=yes
[effect]
apply_to=hitpoints
increase_total=15%
heal_full=yes
[/effect]
[effect]
apply_to=max_experience
increase=15%
[/effect]
[/advancement]

These examples have been taken from Five Fates (Hero definition in units) and Strange Legacy (STRANGELEGACYADVANCEMENT), if you want you can browse them and use whatever you like.

____

Further suggestions:

You can add portraits to dialogues without a unit. For example:

"Good work, Adept! Your reputation was increased by 25 and you have received 90 gp."

e.g.

[message]
image=portraits/undead/death-knight.png
speaker=narrator
message= _ "Good work, Adept! Your reputation was increased by 25 and you have received 90 gp."
[/message]


You can add animations, missiles and sounds within the hero units like this:

[attack_anim]
[filter_attack]
range=ranged
[/filter_attack]
[missile_frame]
begin=-150
end=0
image="projectiles/bone-n.png"
image_diagonal="projectiles/bone-ne.png"
[/missile_frame]
offset=0.0
[if]
hits=yes
[frame]
begin=-400
end=-150
sound=bow.ogg
[/frame]
[/if]
[else]
hits=no
[frame]
begin=-400
end=-150
sound=bow.ogg
[/frame]
[/else]
[/attack_anim]
[/attack_anim]

Add a way to heal your character quickly. Of course you can stay on villages to regain health, but it would be charming if you could use your gold to heal you instantly.

TWoD 0.3.0: Russian translation, updated AMLA, Story (only 1 chapter, incomplete), more images and new features.
I'm happy to realise 3rd alfa-version of my campaign.
The most important changes:
  • Now after fight ending, you can heal your character for gold (1 hp = 2 gp)
  • Campaign now can be translated (removed macros from strings). As example I translated it to Russian.
  • Images in AMLA and dialogs without unit (thanks to Heindal)
  • New way to improve your character (abilities in AMLA)
Now I have a lot of free time, so I think that next version will be uploaded to Wesnoth add-on server. I will be glad for any feedback and ideas.
You can download TWoD 0.3.0 here or on github.
UPD: attachment removed. You can download twod from github or wesnoth add-on server.

A few month ago, I stopped development of campaign due to lack of free time. Now I have a lot of new ideas, free time. So, It's time to continue, I think.

Pre-scenario: Talk with Holy Father

What's happened ->what happened
Thanks to Grey Gods ->shouldn't it be "Thanks to the Grey Gods"?
we will lose -> we lose
Light Empire -> the Light Empire, same for other two
people -> humans (because it can be every race)
but a century before -> but a century ago
destruction of Gray Kingdom -> I thought it was empire, and "destruction of the Gray Empire"
show, what you can -> show what you can
destroy those Walking corpses -> destroy those walking corpses (surely ones in game don't know that Walking corpse is a unit, not just walking corpse)
Objectives: Town of recruits's temple ->Town of recruits' temple
corpces ->corpses
Ergh, why do the walking corpses say "braaaains" when skeleton doesn't have it? Or does he?
cemetry -> cemetery
in this small battle -> this small battle (can be both, you can choose which one sounds better)

Intro of first scenario: forgot . on end of first part.

Ergh, it asks me on end of Temple scenario (first scenario where you choose name) do I want to heal myself, and when I start next scenario in town, I am already fully healed. Intended?

Number 3 speech: will be able to select, what you... -> will be able to select what you...

When you click on story it says:
Chapter 1additional -> Chapter 1 additional

Ergh, Policamans work in Police. Since when Police exists in Wesnoth. Better to name them Guards.
