Yet Another WIP Thread
So I started work on this map yesterday primarily as a reason to feel out the editors compared to others I have used, as well as soak up some scripting functions while I'm at it. Seeing the thought behind this thing develop, I feel I might actually try to work on this to be a full on custom story, though it is unlikely I will finish it, haha.

Anywho I am 'half' following through on my plan on 'sharing' this when I scripted in the unique events I wanted to try myself with. I feel a movie is worth (and consists of at least) a thousand pictures. Billions of times better than words, at any rate.

Click Here for nifty Youtube video. Be sure to watch in HD!

Any suggestions or comments on what little exists so far (and trust me, the video shows pretty much everything at the point it was recorded)?

Fun facts:

There are, as of the point of development in the video, only 6-7 distinct 'rooms' created, but over 300 lines of scripting.

At the point where the door slams shut behind the player, I have scripted in 3 possibilities. This includes one to punish a player who attempts to barricade it open permanently.

I have too much time on my hands.

Looking good. I like the rooms, they really look like they're straight out of the game, and not just for testing around the editor.
Did you have scripting experience before this or did you just pick it up? I've been trying to get my head around it, but most of the guides and tutorials are more complicated and assume I already know the basics.

RE: Yet Another WIP Thread
Heh, thanks. The only room I killed myself making visually is the starting hall of the 'mansion' appearance, was excited to be trying a new appearance set after castle. The rest I am leaving at least somewhat bare until the whole is fleshed out.

I've done a lot of programming in C++, and this script is pretty much the exact same syntax, so I was able to jump right in. Once you have the hang of it, you can pull off some really nice and fancy stuff, I've noticed.

I imagine the guides and tutorials for scripting are the way they are currently because of how recently they were started and put up. If it helps, I might even advise looking into the basics of programming with C++, there are some good tutorials out there that should get you started, as long as you don't confuse the script here for straight out C++.

That scripting work at the end was very good!

Makes me feel like I haven't done anything. Your map design and scripting expertise made that beginning map pretty awesome!
