*The OMEGA stares at you in vain, you begin to feel a timid fear you have never felt before. In a solomn, expressionless voice, he speaks and his meaning is clear*

DESCRIPTION!!!

*The OMEGA then looks at you at vain, and in a quick glance of disgust, disappears into the night*

I tried it, that's quite good.

I like all the special buildings available (did you make the models yourself ?), the upgrades and research we can do to unlock the most powerful towers.

The way you made the path with the stones, to have units follow it and disallow player to build on it, is quite clever.

What seemed strange is that the biggest towers at start cost 500gp and we have 1000gp so we can just build 2 of these and all cheaper towers seem useless.

I don't like the fog of war in a tower defense, we usually like to see units going along the path. I don't think it's possible at the moment to just disable fog of war but an easy workaround for this is to give the worker a sight range of something like 500.

What I mostly don't like is the archive you distributed because it's way bigger than necessary so it may be quite long to download. You can remove from it :
- all the .svn directories, it's what takes the most space
- all the data files who are already in glest, playing with the paths in XML files when necessary. For exemple if you use a model of a unit wich is in tech faction of magitech, you can do something which looks like : path="../../../../../magitech/tech/units/any_unit/models/model.g3d"
- all the editor backup files ending with ~

*Now angered, the Omega's eyes burn with fire. A heavy, chilled heat ripples through the damp night air. The very blacks of his eyes seem to pentrate your very soul. Clutching your heart, you let out a gasp as he speaks again, this time in a colder voice. The very breath freezes around you as he speaks and you find yourself pentrated inplace.*

DESCRIPTION!!!

*With a short glance of obvious anger, the Omega seems to turn, leading away, then whips around and lets a gigantic bolt of dark fyre spew at you, entrailing you, surrounding you in burning pain. You cannot scream, but realize this is your penalty for such short, poor posts!*

*But then the Archmage comes to the rescue, with his hand held out and with few magic words electricity shoots from his hand, and hits the OMEGA. The OMEGA falls to the ground and screams, then gets up and limps away. Then the Archmage turns to the victim, and says do not mind the OMEGA. The Archmage disappears with a flash. Then a booming voice from all around the victim: Although...he is right, a short description is needed.*

ElimiNator stares at the foolishness of Omega. raising an arm a streak of lightning flies forth knocking Omega away.
Although he is foolish some wisdom lingers in his words a description is needed.

So ElimiNator goes to his many models searches for tower of defense and comes up with this.
Here is a tower of defense scenario I made.
It has 5 waves first 6 sword men then 5 guards then 4 horsemen then 3 catapults then a big siege machine.
If you kill them all you win.

It has some of my one mods but some are from tech.

You 'razed' your hand...did it hurt?

Besides you don't have any powers,

Elimnator - What could you possibly do to the OMEGA?

@Omega - What could you possibly do against Elmnator?

Archmage - Obviously I am capable of the highest and most powerful forms of magic.

What are you talking about?

You are Elimnator not Eliminator

Oh I see you think you elimnate people, well actually it's eliminate

Your name is spelled wrong, you are not an Eliminator you are Elimnator, and therefore those pictures are of false record, I never fought you, and if I did you wouldn't last a second against my magic.
Title: Re: New Tower of defence scenario
Post by: ElimiNator on 4 August 2009, 14:59:49
First thing first,
you wouldn't last a second against my magic.
I would and not only would I. I would crush you like a bug.
And second thing you are archmage101. That means 100 arearchmages stand before you. they are higher above you.
And I am the first ElimiNator

Yeeeeeaeaaaaaaaaaannnooo!
My magic is too powerful for you.

BAM! Zap you with lightning.
I use my magic to conjure a giant golem..... and two personal forcefields for me and my golem.

your turn.........
Title: Re: New Tower of defence scenario

Yes modman I know, but....... this is too much fun :P



No, the Golem is extremely smart, he destroys the holographic generator, and throws a rock which slams you into the side of a cliff, you have been rendered unconscious, I put a forcefield around the area you and the golem are in, you and the golem inside and me on the outside.
I then command the golem to crush you.

Duhn Duhn Duhn Duuuuuuuuuhn :P
Title: Re: New Tower of defence scenario
Post by: ElimiNator on 4 August 2009, 18:58:39
As the golem turns to throw the rock. ElimiNator renders himself invisible, With a quick thrust he shoots lightning at the golem destroying it. All the wile the archmage had be attacking my hologram his EP ran out which leaves him defenseless.

No no no I never attacked your stupid hologram, and your lightning bounced harmlessly of my golems personal shielding, then the golem hurls the rock at the origin of the lightning, your have no time to react, you are rendered unconscious. You have now become visible, I then create a forcefield around you which does not allow you to get up, I then disappear leaving my golem to finish you.

YOU LOSE!!!!!!!!!!!! MUHUHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

No wait I'm not evil. :P

Title: Re: New Tower of defence scenario
Post by: ElimiNator on 4 August 2009, 21:25:31
Your golem has no shielding so he is gone. your EP was up to 100 and you fired ice at me but I leaped aside
and fired lightning at you. Screaming you fall to the ground. I walk over and tear your EP from you.
 and let you go. You now have no EP which means you can't attack any more. Now you can be my cup bearer.
If you want...             There is nothing else for you do after all...

Post by: -Archmage- on 5 August 2009, 03:24:58
Hey I'm not like a Glest archmage, I am young and more powerful than those puny archmages

Besides I have unlimited magical power cause if you know anything about magic there's no EP crap, the EP stuff is just for games.

And you so very wrong my friend:
Quote
I use my magic to conjure a giant golem..... and two personal forcefields for me and my golem.
Notice my golem DOES have personal shielding.

Quote
With a quick thrust he shoots lightning at the golem destroying it
I'm sorry but even if my golem didn't have personal shielding, lightning could damage a rock.

Quote
your EP was up to 100 and you fired ice at me but I leaped aside
and fired lightning at you. Screaming you fall to the ground.
Sorry again...but no as I said I too have personal shielding,

Sorry but you screwed up so many times.
I have won, want to be my...'cup bearer'?

Ok but before I believe any thing you say I want to see some proof.
Yes, like a picture of you and your golem. By the way golems are not made out of rock.
They are made out of clay. Or they are like lizards.
Title: Re: New Tower of defence scenario

I was thinking of a rock golem ok, and golems are made out of inanimate materials such as: rock, clay, metal.

Proof of what?

So what do you think of my scenario?
Title: Re: New Tower of defence scenario
Post by: modman on 5 August 2009, 20:45:00
I played it last night and spend about a half out deleting the stupid .svn folders from it.  Also the other files that didn't belong.

There was a problem because I could not get a Trebuchet because I couldn't store wood.
Title: Re: New Tower of defence scenario
Post by: ElimiNator on 5 August 2009, 21:22:01
Ok Ill delete the .svns and fix the Trebuchet.
But all in all?
Title: Re: New Tower of defence scenario
Post by: modman on 5 August 2009, 21:49:39
I lost, but it was late so I didn't try again.  I lost to the knights because they moved so fast.  There should be a way to give interest to the person's gold if they don't use it.  That's what most tower defense games do.

The first link is for the command line client which runs on Windows and Linux; the second is for the Windows only TortoiseSVN. If you use another SVN client then you might need to read its documentation.

Skipped all these posts, almost fell asleep, some where so boring.

I hate to tell you this, but the Omega is the end. Omega means end, and that's the end of YOU! You mess with me and...

ARMAGEDDON!

Ah, I love this! Seriously, I am writing a book, and the reason for my name is because of the mystical antagonist is called Omega, and he had incidentally destroyed a planet before with a spell named Armageddon!

Besides, Omega sounds cooler than 'Elimnator' (sp!!!)



All kidding aside. I got nothing against any of you. But I got a big beef with descriptionless posts! Bring it on suckas!

Post by: ElimiNator on 10 August 2009, 14:56:53
Na my name is ElimiNator. Whch means I eliminate people.
YOU ARE ELIMINATED! so no more posts about the so called Omegay and is bliber blaber.
Not here at leased, unless you want to say how he got eliminated in my tower of defense scenario.
Omega is the end yes but if there is no alpha then there can't be a Omega, simple.
Title: Re: New Tower of defence scenario
Post by: -Archmage- on 10 August 2009, 17:46:25
I'm taking sides with eliminator, because Omega I can summon anything I want, which means I can summon a Q(the people in star trek with godlike powers).
And he'll make you disappear and reappear inside a star boom I win!

I don't quite understand that statement.  :P  It was in the common knowledge of good spellers that model is spelled "M-O-D-E-L", not "M-O-D".  To mod on this forum has meant, to all users other than you, making a techtree or faction.  Sorry for being rude.

And modman your a man who models! you don't have bulletproof skin! You might have a bulletproof vest but ElimiNator doesn't shoot bullets, He uses LIGHTNING!
I would say that a nuking trumps lightning, when the upper atmospheric lightning that destroyed the columbia only killed like ten people when nagasaki killed 50,000 plus.   :D

We didn't start the flame war. People were commenting about it before we came here... Huh, wah? Oh let's see...

The way I see it, nukes will disindigrate everything is a good range, while a lightening... If you are stupid enough to get struck by it (most people hit by lightening did something dumb, like paragliding), you might die. Then again, there's been lots of survivors, and it rarely hits people. It prefers tall metal things. While a nuke, just toss anywhere remotely close to anything alive (or even not alive, can't imagine the killer tsunami this could cause) and BAM, nothing survives. The little that do will lead a half life of radiation poisoning.

Nice but I could do that much power with a flick of my wrist.
How pitful. I pity you mortals, having to do some much work just to expend a little energy. Boy am I glad I got thought waves. Just open up a little black hole in the center of the earth and bring the end to all... Though I don't think I'll do that. Last time I tried that I ended up sucking an entire galaxy into a wormhole. Stupid place is to many lightyears away that no one has realized it's gone yet... ;D

Now seriously, can we stop this?

O ya modman what and how many mods did you make...
I don't want to seem like I am defending Modman, but I worked on Dark Magic too.  If you insist on flaming, I will bring the fight to you.  Your mods are really more like magitech renamed.  You need to work on your textures and maybe get a new body for some of your units.  The last mod of your I played felt like you had half thought out the idea before changing (only!) the unit's names.  Although I must say you did make like 8 mods, that is kind of impressive.  :o

About your scenario, I have pondered downloading it, but I am really hoping for a description.  If you have one, maybe you could show me.

What western? If it seems like that then give me a beater idea.
Don't just point em out, gimme an alternative.

Post by: Omega on 13 August 2009, 08:25:34
Are we finally done with this damn flame war?!? (Sorry for the harsh words, but you guys are pissing me off!)



It's fine to use some models from magitech, but I think most should be custom models. Towers are pretty easy things anyway.

I would be interested in a trying to see random enemies. For example, have lua pick a random number, then send a random number of the randomly selected foes at the player.

For example, picks a number from 1 to 5, if 1, it sends a random number from 2 to 6 of unit a, if 2, it sends a random number of unit b, and so on... I actually don't know how to pick a random number in lua, but surely it must be possible...

Each time, the counter goes up by the number of foes that was sent, until you have reached a limit. So you can have three scenarios, one which you need to reach 15 counter (defeat a total of 15 foes, but you won't know which), one with a 20 counter, and one with a 30 counter, or whatever...
