Tales From The Northern Front

I agree with the earlier posts. It's a breath of fresh air to finally see a well planned out and well mapped game on the boards. Keep up the good work.

barnsalot  thank you very much the encouragement helps.

[AsakuraHao2004]

Yeah, the maps look really good.

Since alot of this game is set in a military base type chip/war enviorment, would anyone happen to have a chip of a good military base because I checked comp resources and can't seem to find one, checked some other sites and can't find one either. It is really hindering my map making. I tried editing a chip but didnt work to well..... So if anyone has any that would be great!
And thanks AsakuraHao2004  and barnsalot.

Ok i have a question and  I don't konw if it is possible. I am using abs coding and really ned to konw somthing, can you have party memebers fight alongside of you in abs like in such games as .hack or ingdom hearts? If so can somoen give me an example thanks.

[Snake Eater]

Sorry, I can't help but your game looks great.

[darkrune]

Thanks!

The reason it's not possible is, even if you make the other characters, they'll just move randomly around, and what you want them to do is move toward the enemy, which you can't do.

However, it IS possible, and if you make the "Move toward hero" and your party members "Move toward hero" too, with everyone trying to get to the same place, theres a higher chance that your party members will hit the enemy. Also, because they're moving toward the hero, they wont just go off randomly, and they'll stay with you durung a fight.

Of course, I havent tested this, and even if it works, I dont feel like writing an add-on for my ABS tutorial.... YET

I see what you mean about the move toawards hero. The thing that kinda makes me mad is i'm going to have to o it half and half.  half of it abs when it is just you and the other half bchar system when it is the team. So its going to be weird.

Okay, cant help with the ABS, but I agree with all previous posts, very well planned maps. And Meren?

[darkrune]

Thanks ScarFaceLarry and Kiro, Ark, Raetes Yes?

Heres a screenie of a store/library you go to. I still need to add some people but this is the rough draft.
I am an even map freak so i tried to give this one a more casual look.... Did it work lol?

[AsakuraHao2004]

It looks more like someone's house than a library. There's also a lot of empty space to the left and right sides of the shop owner guy, so I'd put another two rows of bookshelves there to take care of both problems. Thats just my opinon, though.

[darkrune]

Good idea, it just seemed to be lacking somthing and I can't even find a good shop to edit for my needs. So I am stuck making do with this.... O well thanks for the advice

Haha, I'm an even map freak too. All of em gotta be symmetrical. Well, not totally symmetrical, but you get the idea. I like your maps. However, that last screen that you just put. Um, there's no "ceiling" if you know what I mean. You might want to add that.
