Player-created narrative missions

It doesn't have to be a fight, your simply "Searching" for the mission target. By the way, "Searching" would be scout skill based and take longer than regular scouting. Ah, I might have not made it clear, but the "Thing" your searching for isn't an enemy, it's like a rescue mission... OK, so not an active thing that you actually do in game, but more of a passive skill-check? ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Jul 2, 2010, 3:57 pm

FireFly Anarcho-Pumpkin Privateers Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Members Posts: 5,468 Joined: Mar 3, 2008 Yeah, think of it like "Exploring"... You hit the button, and then the scout rolls to see how long it takes for you to find your target, and if you get an encounter or not. ......................... vet wv zom gateautumn deathrceL1 elmsautumn pvp1 pvp2 sssc raceL1 e2g combatL1 santa1 pvp3 gwextrav ww circuit32,18,0 Posted Jul 2, 2010, 4:07 pm

*sam* The Salthill Sluggerz Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Lead Developer Posts: 16,780 Joined: Jan 19, 2006 Yes, I used Victory Lap as a nice simple one for testing - thanks Tango! (I have slightly reservations about its political correctness after having tested it, so it might be edited a bit later). ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Jul 2, 2010, 5:08 pm

Groove Champion The Groove Champions Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Members Posts: 4,813 Joined: Sep 16, 2008 Firstly: great update! I've been toying around with the editor since yesterday and my first narrative mission is coing along nicely. I am a bit confused about the 'Building' drop-down menu from the Stage options. Is this the start building or the end building? For example, if I want to create a taxi or courier stage, I need to select a start town and a destination town, but I also have to choose a 'building': would I choose the building where the stage's text would be read or would I choose the building where the stage should lead a player doing the mission? ......................... vet combatL1 wv cont0,5,0 Posted Jul 2, 2010, 7:38 pm

I noticed some people getting this wrong. You need to choose the building where the stage's text would be read. So if it's a courier mission going from SS to Elms, you'd want to pick one of the buildings in SS - whichever is most appropriate to your story. ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Jul 2, 2010, 7:49 pm

*Tinker* BibleThumpers Anonymous Darkwind Guru Mutants Faction Group: Marshals + Contributors Posts: 4,546 Joined: Aug 1, 2008 would be nice to have more options, i.e, what gangs you will see while performing missions... when this was announced i imagined placing things on a map kinda like DWT, placing engineless cars on the road for you to fix, building road blocks, controlling what the npc can say in the events... *slaps himself* p.s. what are these people in towns that give out missions, are they anything more then just a a name? p.p.s. is it possible to have a delete button next to the prizes? i got tons that are permanent and it makes a mess, i guess a work-around is to set all the values to 0 to cancel them? ......................... vet marshal wv pvp3 zom circuit2 pvp1 cont Posted Jul 2, 2010, 7:54 pm Last edited Jul 2, 2010, 8:01 pm by *Tinker*

Yes, as I said: Sam said: It has a long way to go and is quite 'bare bones' right now, but it's usable. Tinker said: p.s. what are these people in towns that give out missions, are they anything more then just a a name? Just a name. Although some of them have definite personalities as they have turned up before in the roleplaying forums. More will have as we go along.. Tinker said: p.p.s. is it possible to have a delete button next to the prizes? i got tons that are permanent and it makes a mess, i guess a work-around is to set all the values to 0 to cancel them? Setting them to zero deletes them Tinker said: when this was announced i imagined placing things on a map kinda like DWT, placing engineless cars on the road for you to fix, building road blocks, controlling what the npc can say in the events... That'd be nice... I'll have a think about it. You're actually quite right though, I put a lot of effort in DW:T and it's not used much, it would surely fit in here nicely with a little bit of thought.. ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Jul 2, 2010, 9:02 pm Last edited Jul 2, 2010, 9:10 pm by *sam*

FireFly Anarcho-Pumpkin Privateers Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Members Posts: 5,468 Joined: Mar 3, 2008 To be honest, D:TW feels more like an unfinished scenario building tool than something you do to have a good time, its still to much effort to setup something barely anyone joins But to use them to create custom scenarios is a good idea... hell, you could take it further, if you would enable it for people to place building, wrecks, railings... etc etc inside it, would that be possible? If we could do that, you could go in and create 10 slightly different versions of the scouting maps, you know, with some having wrecks or rocks along the roads? ......................... vet wv zom gateautumn deathrceL1 elmsautumn pvp1 pvp2 sssc raceL1 e2g combatL1 santa1 pvp3 gwextrav ww circuit32,18,0 Posted Jul 2, 2010, 9:25 pm

Groove Champion The Groove Champions Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Members Posts: 4,813 Joined: Sep 16, 2008 I've just submitted a mission (Baby Steps). Please let me know if there are any major problems with the way I've set up the values. I have to admit I set the reputation requirements and boosts quite randomly... I have no sense of whether they are too high or too low. The mission is meant as an introduction to courier and taxi missions for new players but I don't know if the required rep is set correctly so that the mission becomes available relatively early on in a player's career. ......................... vet combatL1 wv cont0,5,0 Posted Jul 2, 2010, 9:32 pm
