As I'm making maps database, I found many maps which are officially finished, but could be scripted a little better.

These levels are probably scripted using a template - so there are no hero partys/special events, and no storyline texts.

These levels could be great, but lack of storyline makes them average; cuold you add some *_INFORMATION and *_OBJECTIVEs to these?

(I will soon be able to provide a link to my database)

Sounds intresseting...

How will the interface of the database exacley look?

But not all levels need story lines and parties while some do. but it will require alot of time tough... replaying every map to see what fits and what doesnt.... fixing ect.

This is how it looks:

All maps from page "Japanese levels from Kiefs site" lack the storyline.

There is lot of maps to fix; but there's no hurry - it's better to make one map perfected than to make three without polishing.

SICK! i havent seen some of those maps yet :O but it would be usefull to be able to see if it is a multi or single map.


and about the 'improving' of some maps where do you want to start? i really want to help on the improving part but im not really good with the scripting. I are ur soldier. command me :P

Yes, but the description is generated with ADiKtEd, and it is not smart enough (yet) to detect if a map is SP or MP. It would require checking all maps and adding the information by hand :s .

Maybe try this one:
http://keeper.lubie.org/html/dk1_maps_lone.php?start=00901

It looks quite good, but the script is very poor - it contains only one IF loop, and no hero partys or special events.

And - it completely lacks a story. No text messages or even some small description.

To learn scripting, you will have to do some playing-and-checking, but there is also quite good documentation; I can't paste link to it directly (it starts to annoy me...), but you may find link to it here:

true. DZJEE AR's maps are all SP so thats one massive page ^_^

and i also noticed the site doesnt contains campaigns yet. added later?

and ill try out the sites to see what i can do. (also ill try to add some stuff to 'land two'. but 1st im going to start with this Unded campaign i recently played. it basicly has everything but the maps have a few bugs. (random doors and tiles ect.) should be done withing few days.

illl sent it when its done ^_^

I will soon add "campaign/map series" page to my site; I have some of these to publish too.

PeaceMaker - August 23, 2008 10:20 AM (GMT)

As about fixing UnDed maps, I made a tutorial how to do it with ADiKtEd.

It is here:

(replace ".." with "." in the link)

i use the official editor ^_^ adikted totally frustrasts me :P

Mefistotelis - August 24, 2008 06:15 PM (GMT)
But ADiKtEd can tell you exactly where the error is - you only press 'v' and the problem is highlighted. It is a lot faster to fix errors with ADiKtEd; also, it can detect script problems.

PeaceMaker - August 24, 2008 07:18 PM (GMT)
the scipts are working in this unded campaign man :P only the levels have bugs. im working on it!!! :P
