Title: Inheritance
Post by: dragon11137 on September 28, 2005, 06:53:27 PM
Well as some of you may have heard iv been working long and hard at making an acceptional eragon RPG and have made some progress. I will soon be posting a small demo and some screenies!! And for those who havent read ERAGON i will post a small summary

 Summary
Eragon, a young farm boy, finds a marvelous blue stone in a mystical mountain place. Before he can trade it for food to get his family through the hard winter, it hatches a beautiful sapphire-blue dragon, a race thought to be extinct. Eragon bonds with the dragon, and when his family is killed by the marauding Ra'zac, he discovers that he is the last of the Dragon Riders, fated to play a decisive part in the coming war between the human but hidden Varden, dwarves, elves, the diabolical Shades and their neanderthal Urgalls, all pitted against and allied with each other and the evil King Galbatorix. Eragon and his dragon Saphira set out to find their role, growing in magic power and understanding of the complex political situation as they endure perilous travels and sudden battles, dire wounds, capture and escape.

 Features
--Battle system-- In this game i will be having quite a nifty feature, 2 battle systems! 1) the first one will be an ABS wich is the samke thing zelda uses only this one has party memebers following you. 2) the second battle system will have the back of your characters standing there flexing untill u click attack or something so its basicaly a back view of a sideview battle system!

--DNS-- i will be having a DAY AND NIGHT script, wich changes between day aand night, and also makes you shadow swich position it works with the shadow script


--weather system-- well i will be having a radnom weather system wich is : random snow random rain ect

--Destruction system-- this allows you to destroy random objects (i get to chose wich) but they get shashed in half and break

--Hud-- displays fatigue experiance gained items gained hp and mp and appears at the right side of the screen


--Shadow system-- This system makes it so when you get close to a fire or any other object that produces light your shadow will swich its position (its reely cool)

--Ring menu-- Okay this is a menu that will ring out from your maiun character and still leaves the gamethe background it will elt you scroll to the options you want aka (map, stats equipt ect)big edit by me:p

--combo script-- this makes it so that when you cast a certain skill (like controlling opeonents mind) it makes it alot harder because you must press the random buttons that flash accross the screen!


--Flying script-- okay this is a script i worked long and hard on when you click map in your inventory it will come up with a map and you may fly to the different sities and it will show you an animation of you flying!


--Comic style talking-- Instead of the boring old chat boxes appearing now a big speach bubble appears over the head of the person thats talking!!!

--CSMS--This is the custon start menu (hard to explain)

--Sphere grid-- this allows you when you lv up to gain new skills on the sphere grid!!!!

--8way mkovement-- allows you to move 8 ways and doesent limit you to squares!!!!

--amazing graphics made by me--

--over 20 hours of game play!!!--

I dont like the day/night and weather thing. They're just annoyances. But otherwise, it sounds very intriguing...

thx well its not much in that part of the game the screen is verry dark and i havent got much farther than that :p
Title:
Post by: Meiscool-2 on September 28, 2005, 08:11:06 PM
Is that darkness because of the Night, or is it just like that? It'd be pretty bad if it where just like that, and then turned to night....

Anyways. As long as you don't make the night to dark, and the day to light, it's all good with me. But, I agree with asakua, D and N scripts just make me mad if it gets to dark to not see anything.

Your shadow system looks cool, this is for the XP right?

FFX ALERT!

So.... this was all done with what maker? Clearly not 2K3... unless you're some sort of super wize, but I know for a fact that with all those scripts, pictures, and then the pictures of shadows, animations, etc, you would have way to much slowdown with 2K3.

You could've just looked at his birthdate, but meh.

Not exactly upstaging you Leon, but I have no clue how XP works so I don't know it's capabilities. All I know is that the DBS is like Dragon Warrior, really crappy like that. Plus, he's got like what, five guys working on this, so it would have to be 5Xs as good as your thingamagummy to upstage ya.

I still think you could come up with a better lvl up system then the already used in plenty of games sphere-grid style (when I say style, I mean everything that has a grid type lvling. From FFX to Jade Empire) already. I never liked the grid lvlings, especially the ones like Diablo Online. God that pisses me off.

Anyways, I think something different would be better. Not the classic kill and gain exp one though, something else. Sorta like.... ok, I got it. If you kill a monster using the sword, then you lvl up your attack. If you kill with magic, magic lvls up. If you get hit a certin amount of times, your defence/health raises, however, to make sure that people don't just stand around and get hit ot raise stats alot, you'll have to put in a catch, like only one point per ten minutes or that you have armor that will break if it takes to many hits. That way, people won't be upping constantly.

It also add more various ways of playing. For example, say that you are one of the guys that hates to use magic. Well.... you'll have a really high attack right? But, later in the game, say there is a monster that can't be hit with attacks because it has a really tough outer shell or it's a flying monster, you have to use magic to kill it. It makes that battle harder then the rest. Vice versa, if you went all magic, that battle would be easy, but other battles, like say duels with people or things that are resistant to magic, will be harder.

As I said, I have no clue what XP can do, but I do know that the idea I put above can be done in 2K3, so I'm sure that you can do it in XP. But meh, whatever you want to use as your lvl thing is fine, just as long as it doesn't involve anything corny.

Well after 5 minutes of loading, I decided to move on and post before the rest of the images loaded (which were nearly all of them) :p

Anyway the game looks pretty good so far. It may be a fan game, but since I never read that book, it won't seem like it for me :).

Its good to see a variety of scripts and non-rtp gfx used in rmxp. Anyway, I think it'll help to make your game a lot better.

Question, is this a remake of the book or is it a sequal?
Title:
Post by: Meiscool-2 on October 07, 2005, 12:08:04 AM
You seem to have alot of pictures going at once. I know that u use pictures for the damage display because you posted this game before and I saw it there. Anyways, does XP have the same slow-down problems that 2k3 does with pictures? Because if it does, won't it be hard to put a HUD under every enemy?
Title:
Post by: DragonBlaze on October 07, 2005, 01:03:18 AM
You don't need pictures to desplay stuff like that in rmxp, you can do all that stuff with RUBY which doesn't lag the game up.

Anti-lag scripts are hard to do, even professional games have glitches with them(like FFT)
Title: ya
Post by: dragon11137 on October 07, 2005, 06:48:06 PM
this one works well it may have a gliche here or there but nothing that would disrupt the game

basicaly it ignores the event and stuff in other maps, using ALOT less memory!

Anti-lag script? I haven't heard of this.

When there is a lot of code, there's ways of putting some unnessecary tasks aside.  A system that does this correctly is tough.  Like in FFT, if you have invisibility, and some other stuff happens, the timer of becoming visible is put aside, so you don't become unstealth.  It's just hard to do.

yes but mine doesent completly for focus on scripts it instead focus on events
Title:
Post by: Meiscool-2 on October 08, 2005, 05:08:00 PM
Oh. It's just a script that stops timers for things while cutseens and etc happen? Or is it like, if you're invincible, then it by-passes all the damage and hit % scripts?
