War tavern RPG...

[Radium]

Okay, I'm thinking about making an RPGM2k RPG based off of some War Tavern story. Which one would you people want made into a game the most? I'd pick one myself if I had time to read every story here:p.

[Radium]

Actually, is there any copys of that old "Sureal Saga" thing?

[Violet CLM]

Here is part of it. (http://www.jazz2online.com/jcf/showthread.php?s=&threadid=584)
(WARNING: Longish)

[Radium]

I'm looking for either a complete story or part one of a serise.

[Xion]

Radium I can help with charas since I know where to get a :)load of rm2k stuff and have a :)load of stuff myself. (sorry for the usage but it's the only apporpriate word for my collection.)

I'll try to get it on my site ASAMCUI (As Soon As My Connection Uploads It). It's quite extensive... :)

Okay, try http://xion.150m.com/rm2k/ in a moment...

<i>None of that!-Snaki</i>

[Radium]

Actually, I have tons of chars already and plan to draw ones I don't have. And I don't even know what I'll be making yet.

[Xion]

Just download the files...there's tons of them there.

It's in two parts (Webserver didn't let me load more than 1MB of stuff at a time, and get them now since my server doesn't like file compression formats.)

[Batty Buddy]

Que Passa!!!!

Well, if it helps with the choosing: all my war tavern stories actually ARE based on an RPG game that I happen to like...
...It's just a tabletop RPG.

[KRSplat]

If you want a quality story, don't choose mine.

[Violet CLM]

That one is complete.

If I make an RPG of Sureal Saga, I'd want it to be of the first part. Oh, and I downloaded the stuff Xion posted. It didn't work completely, and I only got about 4/5 of the monsters in one file. I may use some, they were pretty good. I couldn't get the other file to work.

And when will you kids learn not to use giant Bmp files? Jpg blurs stuff, and Gif has a color limit, so behold the power that is Png!

[Violet CLM]

Png takes forever to load.

[Radium]

That's not the point. Does anyone have the first part of the Sureal Saga?

[Xion]

Radium...you have to download both parts and THEN fire up the executable. That way you get all of them. There's lots of stuff, and I have tons more I just need to rip from other games. :)

Btw, those files are as-is. Those are how I got them myself so LIVE WIT 'EM.

Really, Xion, I have enough stuff now. I need a good war tavern story now. I need a suggestion on a story to use. I was thinking about the Sureal Saga, but nobody has a copy of the first installment.

Hell, make me download more stuff if you want, I got 80GB of free space =P.

[Xion]

Just make your own d*!n story!

Here's a start: A group of dragons, let's say five, get transformed by an evil king bent on enslaving the world. Without the dragons, they cannot be stopped...but the Dragons, now in Human form, decide to fight back...like they would if they were still dragons.

Good start? Run with it!

[Radium]

That's not the point. I want to take a story that people already like, and make it into a playable game <s>so people will say "Y4y! R4d1um 0wns u5 411!"</s>.

[Xion]

What else to do?

JAZZ JACKRABBIT 3. Rpg style though.

See if you can find how to code it Tactics, Sidestyle, or Crono Trigger style CBS. (If you use RM2k you should know what CBS means!)

I'm doing this is a sort of "break" from working on some other projects. A CBS would take a while to think up, so I'm using a default battle system (with an interesting addition).

[Radium]

Okay, since people don't get the thread let me explain.

I am going to make an RPG based off of... *thinks*... "Conquerer", by Coppertop. If anyone wants me to do a different story, speak now, or forever... don't speak!

Edit: I tried hacking RPG_rt.exe for the first time, to add custom text characters.
http://www.foxmage.com/DerbyStats.gif
(Note: Derby won't be in the final game)

[Xion]

Rad I know how to do that WITHOUGHT hacking...

I think...

It's an image and you use vars to make the images text in the game...Or is that how you did it?

[Radium]

I modified the forign character list from the exe file (you know, like "$A" and "$B" make stuff like astrological symbols and smileys).

[Xion]

oh...That's what I was talking about before though...

I thought those had the Sword and shield already in them...

No brain and foot and Hand though.... Nice hack!


BTW, If you ever want me to help make areas or find you a CBS I can help you do that.

[Radium]

Evil program I used to hack RPG_rt only lets you use it once per computer, and I forgot some stuff... oh well, I have about eleven coputers to use it on =P.
I already finished the System graphic and a bunch of items... next I'm doing characters.

This is a stupid and most likely ignored post, but can you make up a character (good or bad, dont care,im not picky) for me. If possible, a giant shield and sword weilding firebreathing parrot? Can you? Can you? <Noobish> OMG PLZ PLZ I UR FRIEND MAKE ENEMY FOR ME PLZ OMG PLZ THE WORLD END IF U DONT OK? <Noobish>

*grumble* I already said the game is going to be based off of the first 10 or so chapters of "Conquerer". Are you in there? That's why you can't be in the game. Updates are now in the art forum where we are drawing krappy stuff to put in the game.

You should only pray to god.

Btw, if you need a beta tester I can help you, stuff with enemies and other things just ask and I can help. :)

But anyway.

I'll shut up now.

PM it. The admins will not find it there, and if they do, Oh well I have already have seen it!

Besides, if it's a PM, it's not objectional since we're the only people that will see the message unless I decide to forward it :)

*Page claim*

[Radium]

For the reason of driving you insane, I am never going to tell you, no matter how much you beg me.

I wonder if Coppertop knows about this thread/project yet?

[Nightshade]

Coppertop knows. Behold the almighty Coppertop!:roll:
Coppertop approves. In fact, I was going to suggest it myself, but then I'm biased. Thnx for saving me the trouble, Rad!:lol:

Radium, don't you find it the least bit peturbing that you have to leech and copy else's 1337ness to get your social status higher... and the fact that if you screw up you've killed something great? >.>

[Xion]

Actually Rad's just doing what nobody else has done...yet.

I would do something like this but I already have a game that I haven't been working on. :) If anybody is interested in making the game and sprites and other stuff...Just PM me...:D

I'm not "leeching" to get higher social status... well, maybe just a little :roll:. And about your second statement... well, I don't plan on screwing up. I'm confident that I can pull this off.

Oh, and in the game, Kaz, you'r sort of listed as an item and not a playable character. RPG Maker default battles have a limit of controlling 4 characters in combat at once, so you're listed as an item that Grath needs to use some "Falconing" like skills (you're a bird, remember?)... don't worry, it dosn't make the storyline change.

The story is fairly difficult to convert of a playable game. Characters seem to occasionally "dissapear" for a while. They meet Emrald on Tubelectric, it dosn't mention her for a while. Suddenly she reappears on Copper's ship four chapters later.

[Blackraptor]

This doesn't have anything to do with me, right? >_>

Anyway, if/when the RPG comes to fruition, when may we expect to be able to see even a beta copy, relative to the start date?

And since when was CT a merc? *extends wrist blade menacingly*

No, falcon, it has nothing to do with you because you <s>aren't special enough</s> aren't in the story. I'll probably release a beta a week to a month after I get/make/find some good side-view combat graphics for the chars. Apart from that, the game is coming along nicely.

[4I Falcon]

Well, so far it looks like w00p! Between CT's storyline and your artistic/spriting/game-writing skillz, this should be proposterously spamtastic!

That's a good thing, btw.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by "spiriting", but I'm sure it's a compliment =P.

Spriting: the creation of custom sprites (game character images) for a game.

Oooohh, spriting . Actually, I modified premade ones =\. Modified them beyond all recognition, that is.

Excuse me...

A SIDEKICK OF GRATH?! I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT I'M REDUCED TO SUCH A THING AS AN ITEM WHEN I SHOULD HAVE SOMEWHAT OF A HIGHER SOCIAL STATUS SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE SINCE JMMB OL DAYS AND HE WAS MOSTLY A SPAMMING MORON!!!!

Okay, I'm done now. I'm look forward to the game.. sort of. ><.

I don't mean to make you feel worse, but you and Grath also share a room on the Assassin. Putting in tons of rooms would make the Assassin far too large to be a combat ship, and I'm not sure what I'd put in a bird's room anyway. Don't worry, the room has a bunk-bed =P.

<s>Polly wanta cracker?</s>

[Kaz]

Radium, it's your game, I shouldn't say this =\.
1) You really shouldn't judge a person by the character's species they play. I would probably just have a computer/laptop in my room as well as one of those nifty orb thingys where you touch it and the plasma is drawn to you.
2) <S>Polly wanta gun.</S>
2)NOOO! NOT A BUNKBED!!! AGHHHH!
3) I still can't believe I'm one of grath's tools -v-. It's really depressing. I don't even like the guy, but that's just me, and I think I can say that becuase as far as my knowledge goes, he stopped browsing these forums a looong time ago.

How do you modify a sprite so that it becomes a rabbit?! :confused:

And also, if Grath stopped browsing the forums a loooong time ago, like Kaz said, do I still have to include his cameo in my story? :p

[Kaz]

Well not a long time ago, but his last post in the war tavern was from november 2001.

[Kaz]

If you mean the skill required for it, it's not that hard really...

If you mean how he did it with the file editor, just search on the web for that answer, for all we know you just open the files with paint or PSP.

[Radium]

http://www.foxmage.com/Kaz.png
Look, it's Kaz!
I know your profile said you wear a robe and pants, and I tried, but I couldn't figure out how that would work (on a bird, that is). I could try harder, but it seems as if a robe would greatly disable your flight.

[Kaz]

I'm working on my sprite, I figured you'd need help or something in from the post in the art forum.

Gah! I don't know how to describe that type of clothing... I like that sprite though.

If cou can figure out how the clothing would work, you make a sprite =P. 24x32 is quite limiting, you know.

[Xion]

Nice progress Radi...Just one complaint...

TILE THE BACKGROUND FOR THE TEXT!!! It looks horrible how you have it now.

Just my opinion. :)

(btw, are you using Idraw3? I can send that over to ya also if you like... :))

<s>Your opinion sucks</s> Call me Rad or Radium, not Radi =P. I'll fix the background later.

[Kaz]

Wait, 48x48 for face, 24x32 fighting ?

[Radium]

24x32 (That's width, then hieght) for the character graphic, 48x48 for faces (Happy, sad, angry, suprised, ect), and 96x96 side view (limit 25 frames/moves) for fighting.

[4I Falcon]

Just out of curiosity, are you going to make additional talking face sprite-pics or just have the face stationary when the character's talking?

[Radium]

Originally posted by 4I Falcon

Using the default RPGM2k stuff, it would be a pain to put in animated faces (and I'm too lazy), but I plan to have the faces change based on the nature what they're saying (it never made sense having someone smiling while screaming at the top of their lungs). So, essentially, yes, they'll be stationary.

[MoonBlazE]

This thread is a hell.

a) Respect Radium for his work, it's great he does such a work for your characters, it's a honor to get into a game with your design, not evry one get that chance
b) Calm down the flaming, this counts Radium too. This thread is not about "OMG LET ME GET IN AND IF I DONT LIKE YOUR GAME ILL FLAME THE THREAD", it's Radium's game, it's his choise.
c) Your oppenins are extreme uncreative given, and there because works very offensive. You want a better background? Then make it yourself and show it to Radium, maybe he'll use it instead.

Did I made myself clearly now? Good.
Radium, you'd mention if someone made you 3 graphics you'd put their character into a level or something neath as reward for their help, I'd like to take that offer. PM me your list of graphics mising in the moment and I'll help you draw.

[Radium]

Actually, Moonblaze, Xion's advice about the background was rather helpful, and it looks much better now with some gradient shading. Try not to get critisizing and flaming confused =P.

[Xion]

...you changed the background again? A gradient? That's good with a stretch. IMHO if you have a pattern, tile it, and if you have a gradient, stretch it. :)

[Xion]

Btw, have you been to the RM2k boards (http://pub75.ezboard.com/btherm2kworld) yet Radium?

[Radium]

I thought RPGM2k tiled it, but it appears to stretch. Is there a way to make it tile or are you <s>hallucinating</s> incorrect?

[Radium]

Originally posted by Xion

I think I've been there before, but the popups can be very frustrating on a forum =P. I personally see RPGM2k as a interesting tool, but not something worth dedicating a forum to. I don't like RPG2k that much, I just use it when I'm frustrated from working on 3d programming.

[Kaz]

Hmm, I guess it's somewhat of a sleevless robe that's somewhat arrow dynamic but cut off like 4 inches below my cargo pants... and the tail feathers come out right below the belt line, Gah, hard to explain especially with cartoony to proportional stuff =\


And MB... you weren't made into an item to aid the first Gen Ex ;p.

[4I Falcon]

Arrow dynamic? Are people going to be shooting things at you?

Radium...Go to the Database window. Then go to the "System" tab and click on the SET button next to your System graphic. On this window, select the system graphic and on the left there should be a box that says WALLPAPER on it. Below are two radio buttons, one for "Enlarge to display" (stretch) and another for "Tile display" (tile). Understand?

My gosh... I never noticed that... It wasn't there before, really.

In someone besides Xion's opinion, which one sucks less? (Ignore the white square, screenshots are evil)

[Violet CLM]

The one of the left, I must say, looks much better.

[4I Falcon]

The one on the right looks more uniform through all three windows, but the one on the left still looks betterer.

What is that white square, anyway?

(BTW, you misspelled Assassin.)

Also, CT... yes, no, I didn't notice. I have a thing for against mercs, but I'm going to make an exception.

<----- *has played far too much G-Nome*

[Kaz]

I like the body structure (except those are Aladdin Terrorist pants XD), he looks like a crackhead though o.o... Oh well, that should be fixed with spriting and me hopefully getting a scanner someday and drawing myself and others with my own style.

[Radium]

DANGIT! I mispelled my favorite word that uses two cursewords in a row!

And Kaz, you look like a crackhead because in the story... well...

(You try drawing with a mouse that hasn't been cleaned in six months)

(Note: I replaced the mouse now!)

[Kaz]

Umm... in the midst of all my commenting skillz, I forgot to say thank you.

Now I just need to decide to strangle you for the biased opinion applied to the story or CT's writing...

Need to get digicam up so I can at least get in a rough drawing of how I picture my char ><.

btw, I have a new optical wireless mouse... it's not that easy to draw with. Maybe I can trace with it XD.

I like the one on the left as it has somewhat of a "detail" feel to it. The right one is all uniform. I know it sounds wierd saying detail to describe the left one, but that's just me.

[Radium]

Ah, c'mon, a little bit of mouse drawing is good for you =P. <s>Terrorist</s> birds aren't that hard to draw.

[Xion]

okeydokey, if people like something, go with it. I just like tiled images since it's not all pixelated. That's just me: I like the most cleanest image possible. :)

The game is moving along slowly. It would help of someone made some combat graphics... I'm thinking about modifying the big lori anims...

[Xion]

Those 96x96 pictures? Say no more! Just tell me what kind of techs (I can't spell technique...I think) or spells or even summons that need to be done and I will find you them.

Think of it this way: I'm the guy looking around for the two arms, Two Legs, Body, Head, and Brain and you're the guy that sews them together and gives them life, only I'd be making them. :)

[Radium]

Actually, I find you a rather annoying pain in the ***.
I think finding pics of bunnys attacking would be rather difficult =P.

[Xion]

...I think I understand your CBS...

You use the regular BS and just make the charas attacking in images? All right, I'm out of that. :)

You're not the only person that knows how to make furry charas...

Nya. (Not me though)

[Radium]

Absolutely nothing! It's kinda at a standstill untill I get my hands on someone who can make some fighting graphics.

That's his name. Yes, he looks good.

[Evaluator]

Yes, he looks quite good for such a low resolution...
I think the game is 320x240, isn't it?

Eval
Yes, 320x240. I used some other graphic as a template for him, but made it "eviler". Drawn back hair, red eyes, red and black cloak, tapping foot and, *poof* evilness. 320x240 is so much fun. Actually, I might make him taller, too. All teh other characters are taller, just look at the screenshot of the Assassin with Copper and Grath.

[Radium]

Okay, even though I won't get to some of this stuff in the first installment of the game, I couldn't figure some of it out...

-Are Claw's eyes solid red or just have no pupils? Solid red would be hard, since he seems to do more with his eyes than any other character.
-If the Assassin never landed on that moon to get more fuel, how did it help destroy the Conquerer?
-What is Claw? At one point he's called a rabbit (a "---bit", to be exact, he's called this on a breaking up transmission), but later he's saying something along the lines of "why are rabbit's so perfect"? and unless he's very egotistical, that dosn't make sense. And does he die at the end? It didn't have much written after Kroys died.
-Omega went *poof* near the end, and I don't remember that guy with the S name (not Ninja) every being introduced.
-I think at one point Copper's called short, other times she's referred to as tall... how does her hieght compare to the other chars?
-Why did you have to lace physical descriptions of the characters throughout the story? It's going to take me forever to find where it said what Ducky was wearing again...
-Is it modifing the plot too much to put a huge Heroes Of Might And Magic style battle on that desert planet? One where the slaves and Copper's friends fight against a bunch of turtles, lizards, etc? They fight a real big battle in the story, but the slaves seem to be killing whoever they run into first... And I need to put in an awesome custom batle system to make Xion shutup=P.
-Mind if I give Osama Bin Laden a little cameo on the Conquerer? He could be a commander, and Kroys could ask him "Have you conquered earth yet?". The Humor really seems to flatline at the end, when Kaz suddenly becomes smart.
-Who throws the dagger at Kroys? It sounds like the guy with the A- name (I would look these up but I'm afraid I'll accidently delete all this!) throws it, but then Nightshade refers to it as "her dagger".

That's all the question's I can think of... I'm sure I'll get more later =P.

Claw is Claw. Nobody knows what his species is. End of story.

[Radium]

I need something to go by...!

[Nightshade]

Okay. Claw is a five-foot tall slightly felineish creature with short brown fur and *I think* solid red eyes. He said that he doesn't have any visible ears. He sometimes wears a trenchcoat (don't ask) and hat, has a mini computer strapped to his wrist, a small but incredibly powerful Protec gun and metal, unbreakable claws. His ship is the Vortex Crawler, but that's my addition. He said that he's easily annoyed and slightly grouchy.
To fuel the Assassin they landed on Kilanphor, Shilarloh's sister moon. That is also where they met Shonar.
Omega was the guy with the Uzi, he blew the door out on Kroys.
Coppertop is quite tall compared with other rabbits.
Shinyso was introduced at the very beginning when Ducky and KRSplat were scouting out around Devan's territory.
Ducky was grey, with bolts of blue electricity jumping over her; her eyes were aquamarine, and she had a black braid with silver streaks. She wore black leggings and tunic, and had a staff that was topped by a silver moon and a shard of Sparif stone.
Not really. There was a large battle, and the slaves mistook Claw for a bad guy :p it happens. It won't change the plot though.
Lol, Bin Laden? Go ahead, I don't care. Kaz gave me an earful about making him a friend with Grath, and the story did turn serious.
It wasn't Alpha, it was Nightshade. Her poison interfered with his magic, but Kovu ultimately slew Kroys. And no, Claw did not die.

"Copper?" Kovu was bending over Claw. "I don't think Kroys killed him." She frowned slightly.

"Ho-"

"Blasted enemies." Kovu backed off as Claw picked himself up slowly. "I always make sure of a job."


Does that answer your question?

[Radium]

What about the rest of my moderately important questions?

*leaves to make Claw graphic*

[Nightshade]

I had to check the Conquerer story to answer them, and then I edited my post.

That line sounds kind of akward when you read it... She really hates Claw that much?

blah, I have a CBS that is like IoG, SoM, and SoE...Where you go around and kill, no math, just your skills against countless numbers...I'll host it on my webserver if you like.

Does nobody (not N0B0DY, there's a difference) actually read anything in the War Tavern anymore? This WTRPG topic looks like it's the only thing people are paying attention to. It's kind of disappointing, not having any new chapters of anything to read... so sad...

acid, where are you? ;_;

I, and probably many other people with an IQ over eleven, will choose strategy over skill any day.

You seem to be owned by Sony, aren't you? Final Fantasy boy.

I prefer the games where it's your skill against the world, not just some alogorythm (can I spell tonight? Where is my coffee!) in the background calculating a hit or miss and that's all you do. Those games are just "Attack attack attack attack you win." BO-RING. The Interactive RPG attack systems, where it's "Smack, move, Smack, move, smack, get hit, smack, move, finish him, and move on." are more entertaining than anything else. This is why I prefer UT assault levels than Risk. Risk is too boring for me, it's just the same thing over and over: Attack, move troops, and finish turn. At least in these RPG games you get to move around and choose who you want to kill and how you want to kill them: fast and painless or slow and painful.

Actually, I've never played Final Fantasy. I just like strategy more than "Zelda Style" running around and hitting the enemy. I'm not sure if this is what you described as liking or disliking, but this is what the battle system I'm basing this off of is:

[Xion]

Tactics? Easy! I can do that! :)

[Radium]

Yes, but I'm going to be doing something a bit different with it. You'll see when it's done =P.

No, she's just surprised that anyone could survive that. She's trying to figure it out. I mean, she hated him at the beginning but then he proved his worth ...

[Radium]

I didn't get much time to work on the game over the weekend, I was sick and laying in bed:(. However, I'll work on it soon.

Though I <i>am</i> getting rather desprate for some combat graphics. If I don't get someone who can make some soon, I may have to use a human base for them. <b>Yes, that means I'm going to call someone I don't like over to my house, dress them like a woman, and make them swing a sword in front of a camera where I'll digitally replace their head with that of a rabbit.</b> Actually, when you think about it that sounds relatively easy... though I'd still prefer drawn graphics =P.

[Xion]

have you asked in the art forum?

[Radium]

Yes.

[Nightshade]

I'd help, but I don't know how. Sorry.

[Kaz]

Heh, skill over slash. See, the bad thing about that is most people get addicted to using skills and then the game gets somewhat boring. Try to force in a balance like the stamina system in Chrono Cross.

For those of you that don't know..
Prompt:
Strike (weak but accurate)1
Slash (moderate)2
Fierce (strong, but inaccurate attack)2

Those skills drain Stamina, and hitting accurately takes up turns in a "realtime" battle, but each successful hit enables you to use higher levels of skills. There should also be the basic skill like "runic" in FF6 (heh, my shield would be like runic ^^) or "tools". Anyways, try to even them out and not have magic in the upper hand.

I'll read up on profiles and design "profiles" like the CC system if you want. I need to get my graph paper drawings into pixel form though ><.

[Radium]

Don't worry, I've already got it planned out. I'm not going to get that far in the first installment of the game anyway, so stop bugging me about it =P.

[Coppertop]

Okay. We will.

Now I can really say that Coppertop approves.

[Radium]

Yay! Copertop is all copperryandstuff again!

[Coppertop]

No more Nightshade here. I don't know why it works now, Fquist says he didn't do anything. Oh well.:cool:

[Radium]

The game really wasn't moving along since I didn't get any battle graphics, so I decided to use stick figures untill I get/make some decent animations.

[Radium]

I <s>drew</s> drawed two average enemys for Lohar (sp?). YAy.

http://www.foxmage.com/Lohar.png

[Coppertop]

Spelling is correct, Rad. I didn't mention what the Loharians looked like, but that is a fair approximation. Good job!

[Radium]

Yes, it's quite difficult making the characters right. Everyone that reads the story gets their own idea of the characters, so I have to use every available description, and for the rest, try to guess what most people would assume they look like. They'll probably be a lot of people who dislike my interpitations, but hopefully I can make something most people can agree on.

And I would check the spelling more often, but whenever I'm connected to the internet I get some Marco!.scr virus... strange.

[Coppertop]

*sigh* Is this attempt dead, Rad? Or have you just not bothered to update?

[Radium]

Just not bothered to update.

[Violet CLM]

Marco.scr, just in case you don't know, is Opusserve (not sure of spelling). Remove it by going into the WINDOWS directory, and sorting by date. The files that are part of it should appear at the bottom (I can remember Brazil.pif, Marco.scr and Alevir.exe). Delete them. Then go into Regedit, and go into the thing for run when your computer comes up (LOCAL MACHINE, SOFTWARE, MICROSOFT, WINDOWS, CURRENT VERSION, RUN) Delete any of the suspicious files from here. If while in WINDOWS you couldn't delete some of the files (such as Brazil), restart your computer, go into WINDOWS again, and delete them.
(This solution may not work on operating systems other then Windows 98)


I like the backgrounds....

[Radium]

I've gotten Opsuserve virus off my computer, and (I think) off my network, but the problem is other computers. Ops first infects your computer, then put's it's files on your network, and finally begins contacting random IPs (I think it catalogs them too) and placing the files on them. It was origionally meant to download from some now inactive site, probably meant to make all the computers in the world crash at once.
