mayaswell make a summary of the maps ive done too :

Alright so first up i just wanna show you guys the skill i created, its just a base and can be replaced with anything...
but its nice and spammable and looks sweet,
its a place skill but it is symetrical on a 45 degree angle
background is still my macanu.... but im not gonna throw it out... it was really fun doing all that dot hack stuff so ill probably just load up another server and do both... it would be a huge waste to draw and sprite anything related to dot hack really ---- just go watch the real thing and play the real thing... itll just be a base for my rebalance and maybe a bit of abstract mapping

nothing to worry about

Classic dungeon tile set, probably gonna make it speed running themed with no models since the textures are perfect
I did design the living dungeon tileset textures but havnt mapped them yet

and our guide for the world 4.0
Wondering about what scripts ive done for dot hack ? :
-Fairy orb completed
-Keyword system for the portal ( need to do a few more effects, also gonna replace the blessing sprite into a thing that circles around you when you warp around like in the series
-The only skill i havnt re written yet is earth strain i think, by that i mean make it workable for myself
-Aura system is 100% completed
-animated models 100%
-know how to use effect tool 99%
-rostrviewer 80% - 99% questionable how good i am with it but i learnt how to actually display things properly OwO
I let you know most of it on the forums or discord... not hiding anything except for my olddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd project when i was trying to re write renewal and midgard into an apocolypse theme, I made like 4 new payon forest maps that made the black forest since it was overgrowth and alberta was overgrowthed and stuff... it was pretty sick but i think i lost it all ... im soo sorry

few other things i was doing.... I had an airship which i did release the textures and models for but not even gonna give it to you, you dont want it
I did make like 7 sprites for it, kinda surprising i was doing spriting but i was dead set on it
prontera was gonna have 2 maps to it, but as you walk around the ruined prontera, you could use the mirror thing to flip dimensions and the other dimension of prontera would maybe have another route you could walk on, and oh another dead end, use the mirror again and flip dimensions and keep walking around
.... what else did i do for that. . . simple ai stuff... controling monsters . . no thats about it really i broke my src by accident >_< but ive managed to do it all bug free (hopefully)
Sadly theres a few dumb things I dont have control over, but most things will be fine in the dot hack world. But luckily, I know which things i do have power over. Still have to do some client hexing crap... but thats not really a big deal atm
but revisting my small town... downtown area i realize that i didnt waste my time cause it still looks awesome




so my problem was the direction the sun lights in... how walls are affected but luckily i didnt overexagerate anything and was building on an angle already so i can play it off
i just dont wanna waste any time on the wrong sprites.... i could just import every gravity mob with re colors and itd still be good
these monsters take time without being extremely obvious and symbolic
i kinda like maplestory but thats silly and idont want silly
and going farther back to when i opened my thread...

this was the second map i made with the one below.. all it needs is a new texture for the walls and windows, and i can make glass now + lights


and the newyork style ish.... hmm its a good draft i guess, im probably gonna use the same pieces but change the ligthning and signs again
good work eliot for telling me effecttool wasnt some junk LUB file... i wouldnt have noticed ever
I like it all obviously and the time/work shows... I really wanna start writing in game though but i need to build my world >_> seriously i cant waiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit to build interiors.... but still need a world .... eventually... at least i can post some stuff for you guys to play with in the mean time
so thats why ill just go write some dot hack fan lore while i build this up ( actually i was watching //sign today and the difference in their mac anu, my mac anu , and infections mac anu are funny... s*** even gu is its own thing i love it
next thing i wanna try is making clothing and a naked paper doll
thinking about it just having a male and female with clothing with be alot easier to deal with
still want 8 directions though thats very important
Im not considering any other emulator/modd set/engine
but i thought id include this from my perspective
+mmorpg for a base... vs.... so common instance based games...
+3d / 2d famous artstyle .... vs.... 3d models/building maps completly in 3ds and just slapping textures on everything or even just morrowind construction set...
This is personal really i guess... but i mean i could probably ask anyone what they really want and do it and then get paid either way you know?
-spread out in millions of pieces vs construction set like morrow wind.... but i guess itd all be the same, except rpg maker is all in one for alother of things just gotta add them in folders and stuff
I mean i guess id have an easier time to certain things on other engines but may aswell do it on Ragnarok'
A while ago i was playing dead frontier 2, i like it but i dont play it cause im not lucky so i dont bother
But its something i would try to make my game look like but they quit for some reason
IMO bosses were terrible on unity, littlerly just running aroud couches and popping them whenever you get a chance...
I would pick morrowind constructions set if this emulator ever blew up
not to mention some of the best games ive ever played were browser text based, ragnarok is just perfect for it but not the only hope
editor note : I wanna make something really f*** up, I wont be able to post on rms anymore once i cross that line hahahaha'
en2 : new rule for when in dreams, dont dive in the water
