An expansion idea

I'm sure you've heard of roleplayers maps or seen them on bnet. For those who don't know, a roleplayers map is basically a map where every player is a DM, and they all just create a story together and, well, roleplay! The unfortunate thing is that all the roleplayers maps out there on bnet aren't nearly as advanced as they could be. It might be a neat idea to take the DM system from DMMOD, tweak it a bit, and make all players DMs, to make it like a roleplayers game. I think it would be a nifty idea but it might be more work than it's worth. If more people agree with this idea miki is probably more likely to do it, so go ahead and share your feelings about this idea!

I agree.

i like it but..... were u gunna get it or do u have it?:D

I don't understand what you mean... I was offering an idea. This is just a concept right now it doesn't exist yet.

Heya, I am a hardcore rp'er (since the first RP map on SC :P) n e way i think it would be a really neat idea to make DMMod into a sorta RPMod.

C'yaz

what ya mean? :hm:

Havn't you played RP maps before?? You should try one out and then you can decide if it would be a good idea for DMMOD expansion.

erm.. with "what you mean" i mean -> "explain a bit" :D

Well I mean if you took most of the features of the DM system with all the menus and such. You'd need to modify it a bit because you wouldn't use things like "Revive Player" in a RP game, and you might wanna add stuff too. Player one should have slightly more features and he should be the only one that is allowed to delete or modify units that don't belong to them. He'd get some features like booting people if they are being an *** or whatever and changing global stuff like time and weather. One of the things that would make the DM system really good for RP is the unit creation. In other RP maps you have to scroll to a corner of the map that is totally packed with units and it gets so laggy just looking for the unit you want. If you added in new features like tint, color, size, and whatnot that are pretty popular commands in most RP maps, it would make it a lot better. Since many RP maps use different preset variations for stuff like tint (you can only type in red, green, purple, etc. as tint instead of R,G,B numberical values for your own specific tint). The DM system is great for this since you always have to specify stuff when your doing commands. I've played a lot of RP maps and am full of ideas so if you want a little extra help on this I'm available. I don't know much about MODding but I can do triggers which you can put in the MOD...
Ok, anyway just tell me what you think about the ideas.

No no no, wait. The DM MOD is a MOD where there is ONLY one Dungeon Master. That's how I planned the MOD to be. 12 DMs is a chaos and a booring map, i have played that...

The corner where there is a bunch of pre-placed units is use-less in this MOD, because the map you are talking about is just a simple triggered map and the DM MOD is a real MOD (set of files), not a map. With the DM System, you can do whatever you want in ANY map without having pre-placed units.

I want u to understand that when the DM MOD doesn't allows you to put pre-placed units or triggers is not because I have not been able to do it. It's because the IDEA I planned for this MOD is that.

About the tinting units, yes, it's a feature that will be added on upcomming patches because I thing it can be usefull.

Erm, I was saying that the preplaced units was a BAD idea, i totally agree with you. The preplaces units are too laggy so I like using your menu system better. And the 12 DMs thing was just a suggestion. If it's not what you want to do than don't worry about it. I'm not complaining or anything just offering a suggestion. It doesn't sound like you like these kinds of maps very much but other posters seem to like the idea so maybe you should think about it anyway. If you don't feel like making it then that's fine but I would be willing to do as much as I can to help if you think its a good idea.

Yeah sure, I would be happy to talk with u bout new functions or suggestions. I've exams in less than a week but after them, I will continue with the new versions.
