New Game!

[Cyborg]

HEHE...

Now you prolly think: Awwww another dune game!

Well you're right, there is a new Dune RPG on its way.

I need some help.

Could you give me the names and descriptions(how they look, work and such) of weapons the people on arrakis use (Fremens, Atreides, Ordos, Harkonnen, smuugglers you name it)?

The more the better!

I need ranged weapons melee weapons and various equipment.

Hope to get some replies! ;D

RPGmaker2000 or toolkit or something??

Bless

[vidiware]

Well, good luck u gonna need it if u dont get a good way do do the objects in vb

[Cyborg]

I am starting from Scratch in Visual Basic.

I have already tested it and it is more or less possible to make.

I will not make any 3D persons in the game, but I will see if I can include some 3D movies instead...

[Cyborg]

I am going to make it possible to download or get additional maps and such.

This means the map are going to be files... hope it will work.

[LPC-Disco_Inferno]

I recommand that u download RPG maker2000.

It`s free and it`s fun to use.

U can make simple rpg gmaes with it and make owh music and grapics.

It`s lot of work but it`s worth the effort.

Bless

[Cyborg]

Hmm is it easy to make it 3d there?

Cuz in VB the gamme will be 2D.

[Cyborg]

I downloaded RPGMaker2000, but I didn't find it as usual as I hoped. :(I think VB still is the program for this.Can you answer the question in my first post?

[LPC-Disco_Inferno]

Basic fights in the rpg maker are bad

but u can make great sideview fights with it.

But that cost loads of programming and loads of grapics to make.

Bless

[Cyborg]

Well it takes loads of programming to make an rpg in VB too, but at least there, i got more options and can do things the way I want.

But I am open for other applications as well.

[Cyborg]

I am writing a template for the map format now.

Does anyone wish to create some maps for me?

The more maps the better game ;)

And I really need those weapons and items info!

[vidiware]

well sorry for not helping u . i have a new computer to buy and i need some time finding a configuration that is good... but i can always help u after that...

[Cyborg]

I have the first Alpha map editor out now! :D

Those who want to make maps (Seems like noone :'() can just download it and test it. Just Email me if you encounter any problems on dr_cyborg@hotmail.com.

There will be updates to the map format, so dont make anything large for now...

[Cyborg]

I have 3dstudio max!

Of course I have it! The only thing I do here in dune editing is making 3D! except for this little project.

I have made the intro movie(not the sound) for Vidiwares mod: Shadow of arrakis. Go have a look if you want.

[vidiware]

well we arent in norway now cyb its VidiWare's Mod

well this project loook interesting

[IxianMace]

Back to the original topic... ::)

Fremen:

Crysknife: Simply a sandworm's tooth attached to a stick of some sort (don't know what the stick is made out of). Used as a knife (duh!)

You must keep the crysknife sealed in an airtight container of some sort, otherwise you must frequently douse the blade with blood to keep it from rotting away.

Maula Pistol: Simply a pistol. I'm not sure about its exact description or what kind of projectile it fires, but it is a projectile weapon.

General:

Lasgun: A gun that fires a laser. Deadly when fired into a shield. (Known as the Holtzmann effect).

Personal Shields: Portable shield generator worn by personnel. It will prevent projectiles moving a high speed from reaching the person it is protecting, but it will not stop slow moving objects.

That's all I can dish up for now. :-

[nemafakei]

The Maula pistol (maula is a slave) fires tranquiliser darts.

The fremen tend to use whatever they can get their hands on. Lasguns especially - since shields cannot be used in the desert without calling and enraging every worm within 100km or so.

[Cyborg]

This is what I like to hear!

Thanx alot IxianMace and Nema Fakei!

[vidiware]

well what about using a rocket launcher...

[Cyborg]

Thank you Vidiware.

Any more weapons u know of?

[Frodo]

there's the weirding module that shoots sonic blasts.

HK Armor Piercing pistol. Lasgun. Krys. only HK uses AP pistol

[Timenn]

Hmm, you should give the program a little statement, for if you fill in a value that is a higher then the max value of top/left

[Cyborg]

Good Idea Timenn!

Anyone else got some comments?
