John Posted September 16, 2003 Well, I was thinking why not a doom RPG? the doom engine can odviously do out door areas pretty well and with Zdoom's ACS scripting... who knows? Your thoughts? 0 Share this post Link to post
Torn Posted September 16, 2003 John, before you start asking for help on your new mega-cool-and-whatnot project, make sure you have something to show first (screenshots, map downloads, etc). Keep in mind we've already seen thousands of upcoming projects that actually never got done. 0 Share this post Link to post
John Posted September 16, 2003 oh yeah, no doubt... I was just pondering the idea right now... nothing written out or anything.. besides I cant do ACS for shit =( 0 Share this post Link to post
Ichor Posted September 16, 2003 The best way to learn ACS (well, the basics at least) would be to look at the scripts the Hexen maps use. ZDoom's scripting is based on and an expanded version of Hexen's scripts. 0 Share this post Link to post
SyntherAugustus Posted September 16, 2003 Well, I AM making SUPERRPG, the DoomWorld Adventure.... 0 Share this post Link to post
Little Faith Posted September 16, 2003 It has already been done, well, sort of. LilWhiteMouse once made "A Furry Tale". An RPG'ish experience using Zdoom. It even included money and shops. Unfortunately the project seems to be discontinued. There is a working beta-version, but it is not obtainable anywhere. 0 Share this post Link to post
John Posted September 16, 2003 Interesting... :P Well what about *dramatic music* an rpg that was more like Diablo.. like you know what I mean? a big ol' dungeon crawl.. hehe *shrugs* 0 Share this post Link to post
The Ultimate DooMer Posted September 16, 2003 Well, Hexen already has an RPG version (the Korax mod) but of course that required a lot of source editing. But values like speed could be gradually increased (SetActorProperty), dunno about max health though. And GooberMan's conversation system would certainly come in handy. 0 Share this post Link to post

Maybe I can talk to LMW about letting me host it on my site. :) 0 Share this post Link to post

Tormentor667 Posted September 17, 2003 Good idea, if you can get a special RPG feeling into the doom game :D 0 Share this post Link to post
BlueSonnet Posted September 17, 2003 Nice idea, but if your going to make new sprites don't steal mine or those from other people. 0 Share this post Link to post
Nanami Posted September 18, 2003 I was already working on a Doom RPG. I'd post screenshots but my site went down and I don't know what's still alive. Let me check. I think this is about all I have: Those are placeholders and stuff. We won't be using any of the normal Doom monsters unless they're DeHacked. It's going to be (assuming we ever work on it again) a medieval style RPG. 0 Share this post Link to post
NiGHTMARE Posted September 18, 2003 Torn, before you start telling people what they should do when asking for help on their new mega-cool-and-whatnot project, make sure they are actually asking for help on such a project first and not simply making some kind of suggestion/comment on a new project they'd like to see. Keep in mind we've already seen this tag used thousands of times in completely inappropriate places. 0 Share this post Link to post
