3. OOC Contest

OOC Contest


  • Alright, I want to add some crypts to Oscura. I may as well make this a contest. So, whoever sends in the winning entry will get it added to the mod along with perhaps something else, second and third places may receive a reward also. This is based on my own discretion.

    Basics that I need:

    Two to Three levels of detailed area. Any cool ideas or scripts welcome.

    Not much, so lets see what you guys got. Send them to kuk@narfell.com


  • It'll be in the Undercity somewhere. As for my times, I have a lot going on and I havent been IG much at all. Hopefully that will change if I can ever finish the roofing job I took on the side. Weather forcast is looking good the next few days so hopefully will get er done.


  • I have the first three levels completely one hundred percent finished, and I am just putting some finishing touches on the last level. I shall send the final version of it to you within the next few days. Just one question though, where in Oscura is this going to be placed? Also, what is the best time to find you in game?


  • I do agree with that sentiment, therefore, when I revise the 1st two levels, I shall include some tricky traps and some monsters, because having something to fight is always cool!


  • @39a5fb20e1=sciolist:

    Auto-spawned traps do provide some interest to exploring without a DM watching though. that's rather lacking in Narfell at the moment, in my opinion.

    I second that. Traps are cool. 😄

    Exploding traps that do 100+ HP of damage, however, are less cool.

  • Do I need a special script for the doors? If so, then I will send the whole thing to you once I've finished eveything on my part.


  • I didn't place any traps in there, because I am sure that the DM will want to put some of his own in there if he uses them and runs events in them. If he wants me to put some in before I finish the levels, I can do that, but I know that locked doors and traps and such are what DMs place in an area before an event as well as monsters, so I didn't put any of that in.

  • N

    If your putting traps in and want them respawning, run the maps by me. I've got some scripts for that purpose that I've written for implementation in some other area's that I can probably place in, as well as set the Narfell scripts for doors and things.


  • Traps! crypts need traps!


  • The first two levels are done and I will send them to you… woot for not having a life!


  • I will have the 1st and 2nd levels done by about 12:30. I will send those to you, and you can tell me what you think. I have planned it to be about 3 levels, but if you want more, I can do that. I am just finishing some details and stuff for the 2nd level and fixing a few stupid things, but the first two levels will be ready in about an hour. You will, however, have to add the transition to and from the door down to the first level when you add them in.


  • Thanks, I'll take a look when I get the chance.


  • I finally, after many hours, fixed many of the problems I was having earlier, including intense scripting such as: how to make the NPCs talk and such. I have some more to clean up, and then another level or two to add, but in the end I think it is going to be pretty good. Kuker, I will send you the Crypt as soon as I finish it!


  • Ok, so whether or not the contest is still going on, I am working on and am finishing up, the first level of a Crypt type thing, like you said. I went in to play, I find that all of the corpses have random items and that anywhere you place bones, a skeleton warrior appears, so that is a pain in the ass. Does anyone know how I can fix this? Also, I am having a little bit of trouble with getting the conversation screens to pop up. Does anyone know what scripts to use etc in order to make the conversation screen appear when you click on people? Write back or PM me on Narfell, or PM Senria Rydralon in game.


  • Are you still looking for submissions? If so, I will see what I can come up with.


  • What are you looking for in crypts?


  • Bump, looking for Crypts. Submit, submit submit.


  • It could be either. I'll take a look at what is submitted and see if I want to use it.


  • Good Point. What was I thinking :roll: this will probably be an interior area, not exterior.
