Topics I've Started

'Name undecided'

02 October 2005 - 08:35 AM

For my first RTS I've been thinking about what it should be about. Since I've coded BFME for a while now, LotR sounds good. This is gonna be a completely new game engine, based off BFME and the hobbit, as well as LotR. EA finally seem to have got the idea of what we want, but this game's gonna show EXACTLY what we want. Post ideas for structures, units, heroes, races etc. I'm also recruiting a team of people to do modelling and skinning. I can do animation. So far the races are neutral, rohan, gondor, mordor, isengard, elves, dwarves,hobbits & rangers, goblins.

Edited from here: OK. Instead of an RTS I'll do an AIRPG. I call it AI because it's an MORPG but the other players are AI. Updates will be place under the WIP section on the www.darkbasic.com forums.

Modellers, skinners, animators needed etc.

I've been coding BFME for a while now, but some of the restrictions are slightly annoying so behold.

Warhammer: Campaign of Khemri

OK. It's not very original but it'll do. Getting a website up soon. Currently looking for people who can do both modelling, animating and skinning. Once you finish a skinned model then post it here and I'll tell you which animations you will need to do. You can then make those animations do what you want and even add extra ones if you want.

If you collect warhammer (which you should do if you want to take part)you know what the armies are, what models they consist of and what they look like. Everyone taking part will get to BETA test. If you would like to join please post here. The final release should come with a mod compiler for the game. More info soon. Don't forget to post if you want to join.

P.S. All models must be in 3ds format.

LEGO LotR RPG/FPS

04 September 2005 - 07:44 AM

I've been thinking about doing a LEGO game for a while now so I thought I might try a Lord of the Rings version. This is not a mod, it'll be made with darkBASIC pro. Does anyone think this is a good idea?

If anyone has some .3ds minifig pieces I could have (e.g. head, torso)that'd be brilliant - thanks.

Cave Troll Economy Plot

23 August 2005 - 05:12 PM

For the Twiceove mod the forces of Evil and Angband will hopefully be able to create all lairs on economy plots. I have mannaged this, complete with complimentary troll. For some reason, it never gets out of build mode and fades five seconds after you start building the cave troll lair. You do keep the troll though. The only things I changed to do this were commandset.ini
CommandSet MordorEconomyPlotCommandSet
  1  = Command_UnpackExplicitLumbermill
  2  = Command_UnpackExplicitSlaughterhouse
  3  = Command_UnpackExplicitCaveTrollLair
End
commandbutton.ini
CommandButton Command_UnpackExplicitLumbermill
  Command          = CASTLE_UNPACK_EXPLICIT_OBJECT
  TextLabel        = CONTROLBAR:UnpackLumbermill
  Object           = LumberMill
  ButtonImage      = BCLumberMill 
  ButtonBorderType = BUILD; Identifier for the User as to what kind of button this is 
  DescriptLabel    = CONTROLBAR:ToolTipLumbermillUnpack
  Radial           = Yes
End
CommandButton Command_UnpackExplicitCaveTrollLair
  Command          = CASTLE_UNPACK_EXPLICIT_OBJECT
  TextLabel        = CONTROLBAR:UnpackCaveTrollLair
  Object           = CaveTrollLair
  ButtonImage      = BMTrollCages_DrummerTroll
  ButtonBorderType = BUILD
  DescriptLabel    = CONTROLBAR:ToolTipCaveTrollLairUnpack
  Radial           = Yes
End


CommandButton Command_SplitHorde

  DescriptLabel           = CONTROLBAR:TooltipSplitHorde
  InPalantir     = Yes
End
and cavetrolllair.ini (first part is regular cave troll lair, second is buildable)

If there are any codes for the game you want, post them here. I'll try to help as much as possible.
