RPG Ideas

Im making an rpg that will be done when frozen throne comes out, cuz I will need that editor with the new spells and spell editor, and im sure new triggers will help out also. Anyway ive aleady done most of it but I want some cool ideas for it so its not so plain and just killing upon killing. So far I got

DUELING- so you can duel your partner for gold/items.
UNIQUE ITEMS- all monsters have a %to drop somthing diff so itll be kinda like diablo.
3DIFFERENT HERO CLASSES- melee/caster/hybrid
KILL METER- its fun knowing whos killing more or less so you can try to get more then them
QUEST- not many but I have a few, like 12 that will also have rewards

what else could I add? Anyone got cool ideas? Im not the best map maker like most of you guys are so think kinda basic triggering. Also some1 made cool diablo stylee townportals I wanted them in my rpg but I dont get how to get them in, 1of the triggers is in custom text the part that dont work and it wont work without it. It would help a TON if I could get that in my map. Also I downloaded a map awile ago that when u lvld up dialoge boxes came up and you could place your own agility and stats, is that hard to do? I would LOVE to learn how to do that. I cant find that map if some1 could let me download it so I can see the triggers, or better yet give me a tutorial on how, unless its really hard to do then nvm. What do I change in custom text to get get townportal to work, it would help so so so much !. K well thanks hope you guys can help :) I cant think of anymore to add to my rpg.

im currently workin on an RPG-style game and i don't plan to use a leaderboard because people get dicouraged and leave if someone gets too far ahead.

also to get tp to work your going to need to set 1 player to own the townhall in each town. Then, when an rpger enters a townhall make that player allie them with the other player.

Why post that there is going to be a killing meter and a chance of dropping items(When you give a unit an item that can be dropped you can adjust the %) I could understand it if there was added some featurs to the two things or if it was something new.

Well at least post what the RPG is about. :bangH

I have item % because none of the monsters are on the map they all spawn through triggers so I cant click them to open the item drop box and make em drop whatever. The items will be really cool thats a big part of the map, theres like 100+items infact as of now I cant even add more custom items cuz I have to many, another reason I needa wait for frozen throne, I hope you can have more custom items. There will be uniques and sets like in diablo and set bonuses. The kill meter is because I enjoy playing with my friends and its fun knowing whos inhead and trying to beat them, also some of my quest will be linked to it, Like when you kill 1000units you get some kind of item, Also for when I balance test it it helps to balance all the chars. as I can see if with this hero I kill 10000units and this hero I only kill 30 I know 1 is to strong.

The tp thing I was talking about was someone on here made a trigger where it was like diablo townportal, like a portal comes up u walk in it and ur in town then u walk back through it closes, just like diablo. Its like the coolest thing ever, I played the map 3times and you cant even do anything I just love the idea, and I cant figure out how to get it in my map. What my rpg is about, well theres not much story to it, theres quest and stuff of course but mostly just killing. I dont know how to make cinamatic movies and all that cool stuff like most of you guys can, Though is there an easy way to simply make a camera spin around in a complete circle when you pick your hero? My rpg in 20lvls 5of each race then 1boss after each lvl then theres a final boss, which will be the coolest new unit thats in the frozen throne editor probably some naga unit. Its 20levels but there all the same its 1 big dungeon but you step on a portal then lvl1 guys spawn then u go in dungeon kill them then u step on portal 2, so all the lvl2 guys spawn in dungeon its always the same dungeon tho, why? because im pretty good at triggering, but im HORRBILE at terrain, and its just easier that way :) Tons of items you can buy some at shops but not set items or the really good uniques those you gotta kill monsters for. You get to choose from 4melee/4casters/4hybrids. At 1st you only get 1hero then later on for a heafty price you can get another, all the heros have there purpose like a tank or a damage type guy, so there all good, and depending on who you got 1st, or your parnter will depend on who you should get as a 2nd hero cause all damage dealers just wont cut it you will need a mix. Well thats my rpg, hope you guys can give some cool rpg Ideas, or quest ideas as I still havent thought of that many, remeber its all dungeon so think those kinda quest. Also Id really to know how to get that tp thing/ or the dialoge stats thing when you level up so if some1 could show me a tutorial, or lemme see a map with it id really appeciate it :), thanks again. COME ON u guys I know you got rpg ideas/quest ideas ! I can thank you credits to if you want, tho I dunno how many people will see the map lol. Usually I only play my maps with my friends, cuz im embarred to host them on BNET lol, or afriad some1 will edit it :(. But Ive never spent as much time on a map either :) so this map should be good :)

What would be some ez to make mini games? Also can any1 think of a trigger that could make an item better? or would it be impossible? because I want a quest reward like imbue from diablo where you give the guy a sword and it will give u a better sword back, however the only thing I can think of is give so and so a lvl 2 item get a lvl3 item back, but then it may be somthing toally different like a potion :(, and I dont want that. I can also think of a way but it would take like 100+actions/conditions, and in that case screw it. Also is there any possible way to get MIDI music files in to the game? I have a bunch of cool music and sounds but its mostly in midi :(, and wc3 only allows mp3 and wav. I tried to find converters but all I find is mp3-wav, wav-mp3, ???-wav, ???-mp3. I can convert almost anything to mp3 or to wav EXCEPT midi, I dunno why, is midi impossible to convert or what? I really want the music in my game as the mp3s I have are only ok, but I got some really nice midi files that fit my rpg perfect. The only thing I can think of now is to play the midi on my computer and play it to the microphone, that will make it a wav file, then convert that to mp3, however I would think playing the file into a mircophone would lose MAJOR quality and not even be worth it

Good to here the thing about the items.:D
To the item thing.
The imbue quest.
Units buys an item conditioned(imbue item) then make a action where you set a variable to a random number.
then make a if action with a variable condition=1 then add item1
els do nothing and then you can add as many items you want.

ya that was what I was thinging of, as I said tho I got so many items so it would be like 100+actions. so still no ideas? :(. Theres gotta be some cool stuff that would make you want to play an rpg, mini game ideas, anything. Remember quest ideas would help to, I got some so far, there like rip off of diablo quest but so far I got
dungeon of evil- kill all monsters in 1st dungeon
????- Lead some1 through the enitre dungeon without losing him
??? cure- find a cure off one of the monsters
kill ???- kill some unique guy, ill probably have like 2-3of these
a few more but I cant remember now.

look here

cool, if your trying to imply that Im copying you, im not :). As I said ive been working on this rpg 4awile all my 100+items are already named and everything, the stats on all items arnt made yet tho, I want frozen throne editor for that im hoping they got rid of that cap of 5bonuses an item can give. I also hope that there will be a way to change the color of items :), so the set items will be green and stuff like that. Also what are the codes 4 color text? I cant remember cuz I want some custom text for the char select screen.
The item system is basicly the same tho cuz its cakewalk to do. I hope in your case the custom item limit will be big raised big time, as ive already hit it with under 200, and you have tons more.
RPG ideas come on is there nothing more I can add :(. Also how hard is it to do that dialoge stuff so I can add stats per lvl up id really like to add that. THANKS

nvm ur item system is better :). I dunno exactly how you did yours tho. Mine is simply 11diff item levels 0-10. Every monster has a %to drop so and so item, or no item at all. like it is pick a # 1-10 if # = to 1 then drop a lvl 1-4item. Then I just set all my items to what lvl I think they are. You got yours really cool and probably alot better. I wanted mf in my map also but I couldnt think of a way to do it. I wanted mf items like diablo had.
When you think your map will be done? Your map seems to have a big thing on items which will make it alot of fun and id like to play it. Items are what made diablo fun. They will be a big part of my map also, HUGE part you will definatly want to find the set items. You will also want to duel your partner for the set item like if u have 3of the set and they got the peice you need, or simply trade for maybe a peice they need in there set.

waaader makes the same thread as me but gets way better responses, darn only if I was a gosu map maker :( Back to finding out how that tp trigger works I go
