Legend of Gaia

After many years (yes years) of developing a story for a RPG i finally developed this Story.
LEGEND OF GAIA
The project started already and we made some things , but its still not in a very sdvanced stage.
Ok heres the Story
In the world of Gaia every day is a day of war . From the beggining of its excitence all races fight. They have even fighted 1000 years ago before the Camphaign started , when the Demons attacked gaia . But 4 powerfull sorcersers have used they're magic to save the world , the demons were defeaded , but in many regions of the world people must suffer , because the power used to save the World also brought the World int chaos : The Northen lands are Frozen , The Elfish Capital is Surrounded by Lava , and all this is the price whitch the Sorcesers have used to save the World . Now after all these years the demons want to attack the world again . But who will save it now ?

Beside a Great StoryLine the Campaign will feature:
A turn based battle system
Tons of custom Music
Propably not but maybe speaking characters

OK so heres the team
Brdarkmoon -> Modelling, Triggering, Skinning,coding, concept and Story(Colaborating pretty close to RedXIII)
RedXIII -> Concept and Story, Triggering, Mapping and Concept spells(Colaborating pretty close to Brdarkmoon).

OK so now currently
RedXIII : Waiting for Vector-Sigma to finish the battle system
brDarkMoon : On vacation
Vector-Sigma : Programming the battle system
*Inspired by Final Fantasy

brdarkmoon , we schould again about the story
vector-sigma , it seems that we dont need yur trailer , i know you must have been working on it for hours , but brdarkmoon will make a CG trailer

so, what should i do now? in what can i help now? or can i still help?

well me and br we kicked the rest of the team but I saved ya because you have talent , and I want you to stay . Your number 3 so youll make Yasaras scenario (well at least your gonna make her maps , then our rntire team will correct it etc the same goes for my maps (Marget Scenario) and brdarkmoons maps (Tanyas Scenario)) , so stay here , you and br schould have offen contact because your in closer Time zones

Well sry bc i have been away many time bc i updated my comp so i had to reinstall everything and also configure again my Network, oh yeah, also i got DSL already, so the big file transfer now should be easier.

Btw i cannot get my AIM or anything related with Netscape to work, so please, if you want to say anything PM me or post in here.

-ty for the trigger stuff darkmoon, today i get to work my first test map for the For Each... function, now i think i have finally mastered the World Editor :D

Thats ok Vector br will soon post here so were going to start to use this thread

br: listen the BIG reason why me and vector cant work is the battle system
soon ill get the Terrain that some people are making for me (they wanted to do it and I yust couldnt say no) and ill start the work on Margets Scenario soon maybe Vector will start too
Well if the battle system would be finished then we could get to work
(i think the battle system is mroe important then the trailer so we schould make the battle system fast , but the Trailer has to be made too)

that part sounds like a rip off of Dungeon siege, but the rest sounds very interesting indeed

Hello, I was just reading over your post and I am interested in helping out. I mostly do conecept ideas, but I got some darn good ones to help out. I can do pretty advanced triggers, unit and spell creation, and I may be able to do some of those speaking characters for you :D.

So just PM or w/e if you need some help and tell me what you need to do. Also, you need to spellcheck that story, or if you want me to I can correct it for you.

Thanks

hehehehe
I revived the Thread and already some guy is willing to help
Hmm a triggerer ?
Well you cant get enough of these
and
Spell checking that could be usefull (in our 3 person team nobody speak is using english everyday)

But But even thought im the leader the one who started all this still i need to ask the rest of the team

X_lDeath: I didnt play Dungeon siege , so it must be a coinsidence (and anyhow its not very hard to think of something like this)

Oh and guys in a few days (5 or so) im going for a few days (or weeks) for vacation so i wont be here , but anyhow my comp is going crazy its very slow ok yust slow so who knows maybe ill have to format but well see

It´s OK...Concepts are always welcome as we can add something to the Story itself.
Trigering is good too.
As RedXiii said we need to talk.
Go to AIM if you have it and we can talk.

i attached a txt file with some battle algorythms
ive changed the ones from FF6
give me some siggestions and concepts and notes

oh and a few things
schoudl this be a Active battle system (like in Final Fantasy 4-9) or a less active (like in Final Fantasy 10 (the battle frezes when you pick a command)

Sorry you Couldnt get me on AIM but I'm sure it was kiinda late cuz I was up until 1:30 my time last night so....

But, I like both, ATB would be damn hard to do unless you are extremely skilled at variables and multiboards and stuff, Although I do think we should have multiboards because dialogs are just messy, last night I was working on important a bitchload of attachments, but Im confused on what I put the path when there is a skin file to.... do I need to download the skin that goes with that attachment? but anyways, ATB would be really hard to do, if you had a bar counting down the heroes turn, take a look at hero rpg, they do it beautifully, I mostly think it should be Active battle with a turn countdown but freeze when issueing a command for some of us slower people who can't decide what they want to do suffer a time loss.

My 2 cents :D

EDIT: Ok uhhh whats up with the FF stuff in the algoriths thing, On the levels it has alot of the FF6 chars from super nintendo (or gameboy I forget). Are we still doing this Legend of Gaia thing, or now are we doing FF6, nice math though, I like alot of it.

So well use the Battle system from FFX with the Algorythms from FFVI
Of course im doing Legend of Gaia i was never thinking of at least doing FF6
The only thing that these algorythms have with FF6 is that there was a page with FF6 algorythms and i took those algorythms and transormed them a bit

So you see this is our campaign but i used the FF6 algorythms as base for our algorythms

well the battle system`s base is ready
Completed
-random encounter
-Status Window (HP/MP/ATB)
-ATB
Uncompleted
-Selecting commands
-AI
-lots of things

well ok if anyone wants i can send this map to some of you if you want to see it
(i wont post it here because im affraid that someone will steal it)

OH and guys i was thinking and i think that using the mouse to move the character isnt very good (for a RTS ?YES but RPG? NO)
i thought we could use the arrow keys to move
But i cant decide what to put into the map
Type1: Up is Up left is left etc , but this would be bad when the camera would change , because i dont know how to change the controls with the camera
Type2: Up is forward Left is turn left right is turn right
(if you want to see this second control type then contact me ill send you the map)
What do you think whitch one would be the best or schould we stay by the old mouse one???

Guys I have been talking to Vector Sigma about the control types

go there and vote

oh and one more thing
would anyone be interested in making a world map?
well i made one , but now i want to put every continent on a single map (to make them bigger) , but i kinda cant do it (i got problems with thre scale etc)
would anyone dliked to do it?
