Runescape Gamemode - Garry's Mod

Recently I've started to begin working on mapping out some areas in Runescape, specifically Lumbridge and Al-Kharid. [url]http://www.livestream.com/cruma[/url] If you're interested in seeing it. It's got me thinking though, how many people would be interested in actually seeing a Runescape-like gamemode brought to Garry's Mod. Or how many people would actually want to work on creating it? If you are in favor of something like this, I'd love to here some suggestions.

Midage is really all I can say. Too bad it's dead, though.

I would absolutely love it. Hope someone does it.

Now I'm not an RPG fan or anything, so the following statement may be wrong, but isn't the gamemode of UnderDone pretty much the same thing?

Not at all. Underdone's primary concept is continually killing the same monster over and over, or grinding.

I though you had actually played runscape, you know, the worlds grindiest gindy grind game?

Every MMORPG is a grind game, however, there's a difference between grinding on the exact same monster over and over and over again until you level (Underdone). And grinding on various skills/monsters/quests to level, which somewhat hides the grind, although it's still present.

Grinding on skills? All your doing is leveling up a sword, bow and magic. As far as im concerned in underdone we had guns and sword just without skills needed to use better ones i wanted that anyway, but your telling me grinding on monsters while watching points go up on your screen is so much more different then grinding on monsters normally? I don't really see a difference, as for the monster side of things underdone did have a few monsters, zombies, fast zombie, combine, elites, antlion, antlion boss. As runescape has a actual team to actually make this kind of things, modelers that do organics, texture them and do animations are very hard to come by in garrysmod. Specialy without them making it look really out of place, as for quests i would have really loved to make loads of different quests involving puzzles and loads of things like that, but we are limited there are very high limits in source in which we can do, making a whole area just for a quest like stuff they do on runescape that kind of thing cannot be reached because of the amount of space we are limited too. Even if we made a load of servers put them together and stuff it would take loads just to fill the size of what runescape can hold in one.

There's a vast difference between hitting the exact same monster to level compared to leveling Strength, Defence, Attack, Magic, etc. as well as on different monsters at that. You cannot say Underdone has the same fun value as Runescape or that it's just as repetitive, because the fact of the matter is, is that it's probably around 100x more repetitive. To be quite blunt, I don't care about your gamemode, this isn't what this thread is about. I'm not here to see your input about your gamemode, it's to see what the community thinks about this possible gamemode. Perhaps if the thread title was "Runescape vs Underdone: The Comparison" maybe I'd give two shits, maybe. But it's not, so please stop bringing it up.

Well if you really want to get people interested, instead of just saying "Oh hai guys lets make a gamemode on runescape" you really are not going to get very far, firstly you need to show some sort of concept maybe post a picture of the map your making, linking people away from the thread isn't going to get people interested. Design a sort of hud demo in paint(or w/e) like placement of where the hud is going to be, since your a mapper you should have a plan of the map rather then just going backwards and forwards to runescape all the time you should plan the map on a paper of how you want it. Second show a back story to the game, it better if you make your own concept and storyline to go with the game, you can copy what happens in runescape but it better to have your own storyline otherwise we would just be playing the same game. Third show what kind of things you are wanting to have in the game,such as crafting, fishing, woodcutting etc. Show how your going to balance those maybe making a spread sheet or something of a list of how they are going to work for example. [U]--- WoodCutting Tree ---[/U] Level 1: Normal Axe Level 5: Copper Axe Also make a todo list on this as well it really helps with doing stuff, especially when you lose track of what you doing. It's always good to think ahead otherwise you'll end up with something that dosn't make sense at all, maybe something like tick boxes of items, skills, monsters etc.

I'm glad that you're suggesting and believe that you're somehow helping me realize something. However, let me flip the tables, let me try to get you to realize something.

[QUOTE=bekka2712]since your a mapper you should have a plan of the map rather then just going backwards and forwards to runescape[/QUOTE] I'm not sure if you understand the concept of efficiency, but redrawing a layout is very counter-productive. When I'm mapping I am not mapping by solely going in-game and looking at Runescape. I don't know if you have realized this, but there's a map of Runescape that includes all the out-linings of literally everything: buildings, landscapes, etc. There's no point of me creating a layout when a PERFECT layout already exists. Thanks for the effort in trying to enlighten me, it didn't work mainly because it made no sense and had poor examples backing it up. Better luck next time. [QUOTE=bekka2712]"instead of just saying "Oh hai guys lets make a gamemode on runescape" you really are not going to get very far"[/QUOTE] Re-quoting this for irony since nearly every gamemode you've tried creating has never gotten very far, especially that TD gamemode, I believe that gamemode effort was a stupendous example of how not to form a development team as well as a gamemode. However, Underdone was a fair accomplishment even with all of its flaws.

For anyone that doesn't prefer livestream, this is a dev version of Lumbridge Castle, I'm currently remaking it from scratch to make it nearly 1:1 in comparison to the real thing. My new version is basically on the same stage as this old screenshot: [IMG]http://i40.tinypic.com/w9hfgy.jpg[/IMG]

Now that's just sexy. I hope to see the game mode soon.

[QUOTE=Cruma;21611915]This thread isn't a gamemode concept thread, it's to see if there's any interest in seeing a gamemode that pertains to Runescape.[/QUOTE] Ok but it sure looks like it as this is the "idea and request" section. If this really was a "poll" topic it couldve fit into the general gamemode section better. Also I personally dislike runescape and tried to give you a box. Something was wrong and I couldnt add it. So rate me boxes instead.

I'm pretty decent at coding, I could try and make a gamemode for you :). If you would like to speak add me on steam gardian90. The map looks really good!

If this gamemode is made ill host it on my server if u want. Its a DarkRP. Im going to change gamemode and increase the slot count if u accept You would be an admin and everything. Let me know

I can afford a dedicated server myself so no need.

a dedicated server is free... [url]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/?title=Dedicated_Server_Setup[/url]

Ok. Lol. Im with xenonservers.com. Unlimited bandwith and good rickrate [editline]01:34AM[/editline] So let me know if you need it [editline]01:39AM[/editline] Also. If you need any other help. Ill be here. Not too good with Lua but i might have some things to contribute. PM me

[QUOTE=Cruma;21611915] This thread isn't a gamemode concept thread, it's to see if there's any interest in seeing a gamemode that pertains to Runescape.[/QUOTE] Then your in the wrong thread this is for ideas and requests of gamemodes, you need to be requesting one or have ideas for one, having ideas means having concept for the game. This would fit into discussion, rather then an idea since it to do with "discussion" about if runescape would be a good idea for a gamemode not an idea.

Just because you helped make UD doesn't mean you have to be all professional.

Oh dear god runescape. Will you be specifically mapping extremely poor graphics into Garrysmod to scale?
