I had been working on a simple, but fun RPG that I had discontinued in 2008. However, in order to utilize the vision system(Ty, rockz) I have to totally redo the RPG, which is ridiculous, considering how much time I put into it(not including before the discontinue). The RPG is totally broken without the vision system(Seriously, you can see an area that you will only get to much later, just by using your first spell).
What I plan to do is make it a 3 player map (I hate many players in one game in a long rpg. I feel that long Rpg's require a built-up relationship, and create them too, with too many people, this is not possible). You all start with the same unit. But, you later train into certain classes, also able to do multi-classes, but not as effective and you lose valuable specials.
The problem: I cannot truly come up with a good unit to use as a global base-unit. Dark templar came to mind, it's perfect for this kind of thing. However, this would be too similar to Remisa's Spellsword RPG, which would make me guilty to copy the idea.
TRUE PROBLEM: I would like to disable regeneration on something such as a Zergling, and give it shields. Or perhaps enable shields for a Terran unit.
Basically: I need to mod the game without limiting the map to single player or NON-battle.net.
My modding capabilities are fine for this. However, if I have to learn the "sneaky" triggering of SCMdraft to do some of the things I want to do, could you inform me of a tutorial or something to get me there?
I got 4 weeks to do w/e the hell I like, and I've had some irregular hours of sleep, so friends have come by while I'm sleeping. No plans. Grade 8 is a breeze. I got time.
****Note: I do realise I have brought multiple questions to the thread, some unrelated. If you do not have to answer to some if you don't know the answer (I know you do, you just want to keep your deep dark secrets to yourself .), but even if it's a guess, lay it here. Even though I'm pretty sure the Pro's will answer this laughing at me with fingers pointing.
PS: Sorry for the long ass post.
None.
