Community Campaign (Dow 1)

So Kendall, shall Red and I go through the Map packs and pick out what we think will be a good map for each sector?

I thinking about creating a thread in the Soulstorm section saying about this to hopefully get some more interest. Is that ok?

Pleases I just found out today that i have a Power Point Presentation on Mario Botta (who the hell is he) die tommrow. You and redeemed do what is necessary...

[Redeemed74]

Ok, if SteviEboY can pick out a map or two for now I can see if how well my script works on it. We could try a few different setups, like having Honor Guard come through taking points, rescuing civilians or just appearing after two minutes or so. My hope is to make the script very complete from the outset, with just a few things to change on the inside depending on what you want to happen for a particular map. We should then just need to save it with those changes and name it whatevermapname.scar and hopefully it should work! By the way, we did decide on going with just straight Soulstorm, no mods, right?

[CSM1]

Yes Redeemed they did you just need to read Stevi EboY's comment on the other page

[SteviEboY]

Well Red, shall we just pick one map out for now, tie it in with the Meta Map and see what we can get to work on it?

Yeah, I think straight Soulstorm would be the best bet. Getting people to download to much stuff, myself including, might turn them off.

The only problem I have with Soulstorm is the bugs

Before I go and post up on the SS area, whats the planet called, are we going with Faust? If so I was thinking of the Faustine Schism as the campaign name.

[Redeemed74]

Sure, one map will be fine for now. It could serve as a "Demo" of what we are trying to do and I could try to get some guys to test it to help find any bugs before launching into the actual campaign matches. This demo map itself might generate some interest for the campaign, I hope!

CSM1, with all the experience you are gaining in modding I think you could be a good understudy for me. I have a big trip coming up in late November going on into the end of January 2010 when my internet connection and online activity will be very sketchy. Would you like to learn how to do the game setup for each match by adjusting the variables in the scar script?

[SteviEboY]

I'll go through the Map packs tonight and have a look.

Using coding or whatever could you have a civilian become a daemon prince?

I'm thinking of the final battle in the Governors palace sort of like Sindri in the first game.

[Redeemed74]

ha ha Ha Ha HA HA! Anyone can become a Demon Prince! But this does have to be done carefully since triggers that require multiple criteria need to be done very carefully in multiplayer games. PM me with just what you have in mind, just when and how the civilian (or Force Commander - hey, even a Grey Knight!) will become DP (sorry, no FXs, just a quick switch) but we will keep these details from the public since it counts as a "spoiler".

[SteviEboY]

ok Red i'll PM you with what i would like to achieve.

Kendall, any confirmation on the Planet name yet?

[KeNDaLL2000]

I thought we already had that covered. I really don't care what the name of it is. Can anyone tell me what maps we have in a pm pls.


Oh and redeemed i got the Pm and i like the ideas. My Quarter ends in Nov 11 so ill have a lot more time then.

Well, I didn't want to go jumping in until I had confirmation, it's your baby after all

We haven't decided on maps yet, I'm working with Red on that front.
