GENERAL INFORMATION - Standards and Consistencies

(1/3) > >>

Erave:
After playing Darkpriest's first chapter (which is very good), I decided to set some MINOR consistencies we all have to follow.

TEXT BOXES:
\c[2]Person Talking\c[0]:
Text here.

AREA NAMES:
If you enter a new area for the first time have a text picture show on screen the name of place. If you need to get a good example of this feel free to copy it from Darkpriest's chapter.

HERO SPEED:
Hero speed should be set to 4 in any city/dungeon/indoor area. Speed should be reduced to 3 on the worldmap (if there is one). Remember to set them correctly!

SAVE POINTS:
Put one at the end of your chapter. Set saving to off and having saving only allowed by save points. Copy the save point from the first chapter and add new funny dialogue (ala CG1) if you wish.

I might add a few more simple templates inside the game that you can easily copy and paste for things like Treasure Chests and Save Points. That way you don't have to worry about making them correct. Once I get the game again I'll be sure to create a map with all these easy to copy things.

Very simple stuff, but gives it a nice consistency. Thank you.

Actually, the name comes up in my chapter every time you switch areas. You might not notice this because you probably won't do it much. Here is how I visioned it to work:

FORBIDDEN WOODS MAP 2 - FORBIDDEN WOODS MAP 1 - ELEGY CENTRAL MAP 5 - ELEGY CENTRAL MAP 4 (not real names)

Like when you go from forbidden woods 1 to elegy central 5 you get the picture and vice versa. However, if you go from Forbidden woods 2 to 1 or elegy central 4 to 5 you don't get it. Simple, no?

Other thing are the savepoints. They are surrounded by on touch events to get that flash+sound when you stop on one, check my chapter on how it's done for details (very simple stuff, just copy&paste will work).

Also someone needs to come up with a good system set, it's still the default one.

edit: don't have world maps :( they are boring and serve no real purpose in chain games really

Erave:
I think Save Points should continue the tradition of funny quips. That in my opinion brought a lot of life to the game. I would generally vote against Worldmaps but if it's necessary you can add one, but keep it SMALL!

I worked on one:

Yeah I was going to add some but I couldn't come up with anything funny.  :fogetnah:

I'll leave that to everyone else! (you can add some to my savepoints if you feel like it)
