Uhhhhh, providing you give me the custom tilesets needed, I'll give this a shot.
You may want to get on MSN so I can work with you in case I need clarification :P

StarCraft in its core is an RTS game, but much like Warcraft III if you've played it, you can create all sorts of funky mini games using the Map Editor. How do you think DoTA was made?

Depends on what you want.

If you're looking for quality, I'd say manual replacement always yields results.
If you want a quick easy sprite edit for a very minor character or monster, Hue/Saturation is the way to go.

I can't comment on custom tilesets because I don't know what's on it, hence I can't give you any suggestions :P
Looks decent though.

Since I promised I'd get this done, and I'm back, I'll finish it after I finish my tasks for Remexos.

Kay. Here's your list, since I'm not a lazy dick <3

1. Natural forces like gravity apply to all things. That "bridge" looks like two big random planks and they look like they're balancing on the edge, which is highly unlikely. They look more like they should be falling inside the hole. I'd say either remove them, or extend them a bit more towards the ground to make the weight balance look more like it's actually on the ground rather than should be falling into the abyss.

2. I'm not sure whether your cave here has been touched by people or not, but if it's all natural, there should be no form of a "path". I know you put the darkened earth to act as a guide to the player, but in reality this never exists in untouched caves and actually, even in caves that people tread through they usually never create such a defined path with their feet.

3. The map feels a bit too empty. In an earth cave there should be more rocks, not A LOT, but more than this. Also, the landscape rarely changes, maybe add some water? I mean, water does travel underground as well, and seeing as this cave looks fairly deep underground (You have a bottomless pit going on there), it would make sense to add tiny puddles or streams etching their way in the walls.

4. Take a look at the right bridge segment and literally one cell above it. Do you see the faint black shadow on the corner tile? It looks like a black square shadow and it looks weird. I think you just layered it wrong. Same thing with the cell directly right of it.

5. Towards the middle of the map, you see how you have an upside down V in the wall? You used pure vertical tiling and it cuts off the V, it looks really weird. You have two occurrences of this. One in the middle of the map, and then just a bit left of that by the hole.

Hope this helps.

This Role Play will be based off the popular manga and anime Gantz, but with some changes. Google it if you wanna find out more.

Background Story


    I am here to give you a second chance at life. Each one of you was about to face Death straight in the eyes and I'm sure everyone in this room remembers how they died. I will not say who I am, but know that you are very much alive. I brought you here because each of you are like a plague to humanity. Rape, suicide, failures in school, murder, one of these flaws are within each of you and now you must atone. Momentarily I will be giving everyone a task to complete, whether you choose to participate is up to you, but know that you will die otherwise. If you successfully complete the task without getting yourself killed, I will grade your performance. Once you achieve 100 points, I will allow you to return to Earth and start your life anew, the day before you died. I will not be answering anymore questions, such as where we are, who I am and why you specifically were chosen. I will be monitoring each of you closely. Now then, each of you will be receiving a custom suit that will unlock a hidden potential within you and give you above-average strength, speed and reflexes. Come forth and let your trial begin!

Rules (IMPORTANT)


1. I will not actively participate in any of your tasks.
2. Do not PM me asking what/who I am in the game and about any further info on your tasks. That is for your imagination to decide. The exception to this rule is if you are lost or need further advice on how to post to advance the story.
3. Do not be some sort of badass. You may choose a relatively powerful ability but honestly, don't expect to solo a task, this is a team-based role play.
4. I have the right to intervene if anyone is getting carried away by ruining the experience or being too strong, I will not hesitate to kill your character. (After all, I control your fate)
5. The tasks require careful planning and teamwork. I will occasionally post to give further insight, or if you are fighting something, I will act as the creature you are fighting.
6. Some of you may die, but you get 2 chances in this game. If you die once, you can play again, but if you die again, you're out of the game. To die you must do the following:
A) Attempt to be a complete rambo and dodge all attacks, do insanely strong ones and basically ruin the teamwork aspect of the game.
B) Be completely useless to the team, i.e Not helping in the planning stage, not executing actions properly (This is flexible, if you do it occasionally because you want to kill someone on your team due to hate for them, that's fine, but don't do it all the time)
C) You may die at random depending on the difficulty of the task.
7. Remember, this is just for fun, the point is to score 100 points but obviously not everyone will, heck no one may achieve it at all.

I will be adding more rules as the game goes on.

Strength - Olympic Weightlifter (Full body, positively affects jump height and distance as well)
Speed - Capable of running at speeds of 20 km/h (roughly 12.4 mph)
Reflexes - Karate Grandmaster

Progression of story


The role play will progress like this:
1. I will be creating a thread with the Mission # in the title.
2. I will give you a summary of the mission, as well as any info on targets that need to be eliminated.
3. You will have a day or so for the team to do a plan. This means make use of everyone's abilities and form a general strategy of advancing. If someone has keen eyesight, have him scout, while someone with high speed can survey the area. Things like that. You may post your ideas out of role play, just make sure they make sense in consideration of the mission info and your team mates abilities. Don't say "We'll swim across the river" if no one in your party can swim.
4. After planning is over I will post the opening post containing important starting information such as: Where you are, what weapons are available, your time limit (if there is one) and anything else pertaining to the mission.
5. Everyone then posts as they see fit to progress the story. Make sure you act as realistic as possible. Imagine you and a group of people need to hunt down some alien cyclops that is lurking the city. Are you going to know exactly where he is right away? Maybe you need to look for clues? Maybe get to know each other? What about your surroundings, are you familiar with the area? Is anyone in your group familiar with it? Can you still execute your plan based on the new information given? Always ask yourself realistic questions before posting, try not to see this as fantasy, except for the fact that you are like superhumans fighting various aliens. These aliens are also supernatural and CAN and WILL kill you if you drop your guard, so act as if this is pure reality.
6. I will reply with various hints if the group is off track, or if they have found their target, I will role play the alien and fight back based on your groups abilities, actions and plan.


Whew, sorry for the wall of text, hopefully this will be fun and exciting. I'm trying for a more realistic combat approach. Superhumans vs Aliens, so you can still use supernatural abilities and your imagination, but you are mortal and can die.

Academics / Re: I miss school.
August 01, 2010, 05:33:13 pm
Eh, during school, I just want it to end. During the breaks, I just wanna go back to school.
Both become equally as boring eventually. First few days of school are fun cause you get to see your friends and stuff, then it's just the same crap. First few days of summer/winter break are also fun, you get to sleep in and chill with everyone, but again, same crap eventually.

I didn't want to post this in the projects section because it's not ready to be posted there yet, since this is just the storyline.
Anyways, tell me what'cha think :D

Warning : Long. bahaha
(and not 100% finished)
Spoiler: ShowHide
When Elios created the world from the darkness, he did so by harnessing the power of the Orb of the Gods. Only with this could he create the beautiful lands, and and only with this could they ever be destroyed. Elios created the world and gave it multitudes of life. He brought forth the fish of the sea, the birds of the sky, and man to walk upon the land. He then sent his sons and daughters to inhabit the lands and watch over and protect his creations.

Elios' sons and daughters stayed on the earth peacefully and without conflict for centuries. They watched the people of the world, and help maintain the balance within nature and the universe.

At one point in time, the elven nations had a new king come to power. His name was Etai, and he needed a queen. Drawn by his wealth and power, the most beautiful of elven women came to gather before him. Etai now had the privilege of choosing any elven women he wanted. But just as Etai was about to name his queen, Kulgan, one of Elios' sons, appeared before the crowds. He offered the would-be-queen more riches and power than any mortal could provide, and she accepted his offer.

Once Elios found out that Kulgan had interfered with the sacred elven tradition, he demanded that Kulgan be banished from the kingdom of the gods, forced to walk the mortal earth for eternity. As Kulgan was being exiled, he took with him the Orb of the Gods, the tool used to create the world. As he was falling to the mortal world, Kulgan swore he would destroy the entire world Elios had created, and even Elios himself.


Well? :D


I believe you're missing a few points. First, the motive for creating a world. I mean, I don't sit down one day and say "I'm going to randomly make a planet now.". Why would Elios want to create a planet? Why use the Orb of the Gods when you depict him as a God himself. Since, in essence, the Gods created the Orb (Based on the name) and if Elios is a God (Which is how you described him), why would he need it?

Also, if the orb was such a sacred artifact, would it not be guarded well? I find it odd that a single "son" could take such a powerful object. Perhaps add a little more explanation to this. For example, you could have it that multiple sons and daughters hate Elios for making them look after his precious world, so they helped Kulgan steal the orb in return that he kills Elios?

And lastly, not sure if this will have a spoiler effect to it, what was Kulgan's motive for interfering in the first place? If it's a sacred tradition of the elves, that means it's been around for a while. Why didn't Kulgan interfere sooner? If it's for love of the would-be Queen, how is he going to save her from the destruction of the world? Last question you should think about is if Kulgan even knew the consequences of interfering, if he did, what made him choose to interfere over the consequences.

Just trying to bring you out of the cliche area.
