Then come up with the plot beforehand. While you are at it, right down all the units your gonna use in the plot and what special effects and items and what codes to use so you have a page of all the things you need to remember for your plot. Or just print it out and it's much better. Althought the pictures it way too big and waste color ink and its a pain to delete all of the ones in the units list...... |

No, but you must print the "Printable Reference Manual.doc", not the units list or the items list. That .doc does not contain images and contain all the information you need about id codes and it's very usefull. |

Hmm...That could save a lot of time. |

Yes, the Merchant thingie will be one of the features of the next patch. A 2nd DM Slot won't be added. You can give gold to any player (including DM yourself) and by just creating a peasant you can do what you're saying. |

hay i got a 2 kool ideas 1 is easyer than the other so... 1)make it so you can genrerate those heros that the players pick like when it ask whut units you may say "ork something" 2)have person ediot... armor,health,damage,sight range,attack range also the person having a lock point for camra so you can just circle it:D |

Yes, good ideas bunny_of_death.. I also have another idea...different cinematic camera angles like the !camera2, !camera3, etc. for players but it uses the cinematic camera instead when making cinematics. |

hmmm magis is right with extra cams. never had to yet but it would suck if you had to swith from the cave to feild but dont wan't person to just veiw all your stuff or wait |

heres a good one that all the people that played not as dm would know. change the cam man. it hard to see in some maps:( |

Guest | Well, there's one thing that gets on my nerves. When you give players units, it's hard for them to control them because the camera always follows their hero. maybe an option to make the camera not follow the hero would help. |

Do not insist with this. The Free Camera won't be available to use and a 2nd DM Slot won't be added. Other than that, i'm open to suggestions and improvements. I've alredy compiled some of them here and creating some. :mtk: |

I usually always dm and I come upon different problems like: 1)people get bored waiting for me to design the game so either they leave or loose interest in the game 2)giving units to people is pointless, they don't like controlling them because of the camera option 3)and this is most important for now. when making all doors invulnerable, i cant open any door, and there is no option to make a single door vulnerable if all are invulnerable, so what i do to open a single door is i type !doorsvulnerable then go to three menues to open the door i want and then type !doorsinvulnerable again ok solutions: 1) give dm a lot of money at start 10000000 gold 10000000 lumber because we are dms!!! enough said 2)for example i wanna create peons to build something. make every building to be built really fast. 3)if you give a player other units, is it possible to maybe switch camera to selected unit? 4) doors, you have to play around with that, so that it is possible to open it when its invulnerable or to make a single door vulnerable.. I found bugs , i dont know if this goes to this forum.. when i want to give a neutral player speach with !c or !nc sometimes other neutral units get that speach.. that sucks and a key word : shortcuts ex. i want to create units with !createunit or using esc then create unit etc.. make a shortcut for me to set like this set s !createunit so that everytime i type: s it will start asking me as if it was !createunit or something like that I don't know if it possible at all.. but is it possible to change characters names inside the game??? or is it possible to create regions inside the game??? i guess i'm asking too much. and 1 last thing , i also don't know if this is already possible . can you make it possible to change a players dimoplacy to be enemies of his allys :gsmile: and to be your ally so i can have actually like another dm , or helper you know and 1 last thing lol teleporting 1 player function would be nice |
