The king is back??

Loved your previous RPGs man. Looking forward to playing this one too. If you want testers you know where to find me.

Holy shiiiiiiit! I never thought we'd see another RPG release from MetalGear. Welcome back!

I don't have much time to help test at the moment, but I will certainly be playing this when it's finished. Can't wait.

Awesome! Look forward to it!

Well, I had to take the voices out due to file corruption. Turns out I can't upload to SEN so the download link is here: http://sc.nibbits.com/maps/project/78813/skyrim-rpg

Still need testing? I'm online now.

I'd like to know more about this voice over corruption thing. You seem to make it out to be like it's some sort of unfixable issue. But surely it isn't? Or are you just saying it is gonna take too much additional time to be worth implementing?

I had to manually edit sounds to take certain words out of the speech. When I imported the new wav files to the editor, they stopped working. It basically causes the sound to completely stop whilst playing. Also, I uploaded my map to nibbits which has a 10 MB limit. So yeah, not much I can do about the voice files.

I know there is a glitch where sometimes you add a WAV file to the editor and then it doesn't work, but that's simply fixed by deleting it and re-adding it, at least for me. As for 10 mb limit, who cares? Just don't use nibbits. I have a 100mb map called One Piercing Note which is full of voice acting and it works fine.

Well, looks like you convinced me. I fixed the sound corruption problem and now I've uploaded a new version with voices, music, and weather. Here's the link: http://www.mediafire.com/file/2pfcdn4ofyw3c2p/Skyrim_RPG_v1.5.scx

Enjoy! (Oi Oh_Man, play it with me, okay?)

Less buggy than actual Skyrim. 10/10 would playtest again.

Wow, this is fantastic! A quick question: is there a way to see the abilities that I've already learned? Have you considered an option to show abilities that have been learned in color like the current selection? (it can be different color)

If it was separate colour it would use more strings.

98% complete? How in the hell do you work so fast on these robust RPG maps, MetalGear? I can't wrap my head around it.

Cheers. And no, there isn't a way. I could add it but I only have 3% string space left, so I'm not sure if it would fit.


Just patience and dedication I guess.

...By the way, just submitted a new version. Now spell "Incinerate" targets all units but is more expensive. DL: http://www.mediafire.com/file/2pfcdn4ofyw3c2p/Skyrim_RPG_v1.5.scx

Not really, if you store the string something like this: "\Grey\Yellow 1)\Cyan Some text", when you reference the string from the first character it is all grey, when you start the string from the second it's colored. The same technique works for menus with current selection marker like: "> 1) Some text".

Sometimes I wish tools were able to pack stuff like this automatically. Not sure if this worth bothering. Actually the same color might probably work good as well since the selection moves around.

Anyways, going to check out the new version soon!

You're talking about the string bleeding effect? Where if you have the <01> colour it will adopt the colour as the string above it? This requires additional lines - and Starcraft can only display 11 lines on screen at a time.



Here you can see 10 lines are already in use. Using string bleeding method you'd need 15 lines, which exceeds the 11 line limit.

Though I will point out, MG, that if you really wanted to you could quite readily free up many strings, as looking at your map I note you have unique comments and locations strings. If you recycled these to pre-existing strings you would free up a bunch. You could also recycle your WAV strings as well if you wanted even more strings, though that's definitely a pain to do.

Having trouble uploading the file to the SEN database. DOWNLOAD HERE

Now that the PTR has brought me back to BW in full force, I'm finally gonna try this map out tonight. It looks incredibly impressive, which has become what I expect from a MetalGear production.

@MetalGear - have you considered joining our Discord channel? It's for UMS discussion (including mapmaking discussion), and it's a good resource for finding people to help test maps in development.

If you're interested, check it out HERE.

This elder-scrolls map isn't as good as the others IMO. The spells were really underwhelming and no one really liked the stamina system.
