so due to the crappy server on FI.net, a huge chunk of text got erased due to "cannot find server"
Anyways. I finished the map. Right now, I'm just trying to throw everything together, and work out the minor details later. I'm gonna use regular infantry sprites as turrets, and give them CA weapons to avoid having to create all that new stuff for now.
Things of concern:
1) Taking a picture of the map. I... can't figure out how >_> And I doubt you guys want to download the .map .
2) Making the pirate turrets. I can get all the stats/data filled out, but I have no clue on how to give it a sprite. Plus I might need readjusting the respawn times. I also need help with the death animation...
3) Putting the pirates in a certain area. I'm gonna create different pirates, and make them in a certain location, each with their own different respawn time. I just don't know how. Also, I want to add treasure chests to the arena, so that people care enough to try this place out. I might end up making a CPU HQ that spawns too, so that people will have a goal in mind.
4) Granting people exp and cash. When people kill a pirate, they should get cash and exp directly. I also want to know how to make the pirates drop items, in case I have something in mind.
5) Most important: Whether or not the CA devs will like my idea. Personally, I think that CA is pretty much dead, and any kind of update is welcomed... but its their call. And I'd feel better if someone with more experience with dev looks at my stuff too, to make sure I don't fatal error the entire server. |
