Ok so I'm not really sure if it's strings triggers that I need, but I would assume so. I've tinkered with it and have basic editor knowledge with strings, so i'm having a hard time even getting the idea together.
What im trying to do:
Have a "hire button" that randomly shows a dialog of 1 out of 40~ units every round that can be hired. (I dont need any help with the actual dialog creations)
- It needs to show a dialog picture of the unit
- Dialog text of the unit
- Once purchased, can create that unit
- Cost of the unit
- Randomly changes each round to show a new unit and have these 4 variables linked to the same unit.
Not to confuse anyone, I have no issue making this dialog or the images, i just don't know how I'd be able to string this together. I would know exactly how to do this without strings except the triggering would be to long and would most likely crash or not even load.
You may, or may not have read my earlier post regarding hosting forums for mappers to increase traffic. If you have read it, here are some major changes i've done with the idea.
For starters, I've gone ahead and opened http://www.SC2Portal.com (it's prob not running yet, seeing as I JUST purchased the domain name).
The purpose of this is to help mappers with a hosting website and a forum provided for them. It will also give them a pre-existing community as its 1 database of members. For an example of it, check my site http://www.TugDefense.com and explore it a bit but understand this is a new idea i came up with and im re doing the site for it, so theres still a lot to change/add. you'll see so far i've got Island Troll Tribes on the band wagon. (the community is tiny ATM, but the idea is solid)
Features:
- Xenforo based forums (If not the best, easily one of the best forum software programs out there)
- Paid hosting, which i offer to you for FREE. Its reliable and is always up!
- Your domain name will be a redirect from sc2portal.com (so for example, once i get the chance il redirect island troll tribes to sc2portal.com/islandtrolltribes (or you could just pay a few bucks a year to godaddy.com or another site to have your own .com and redirect it to me which i will host free for you)
It's especially great for people who ether don't have the time to make a forum, don't understand how to make a forum, or just dont want to spend money on a forum.
If anyone is interested in joining, post on sc2 portal
I guess eternal has a point though, I wouldn't want to reject any map that was worked hard on only because I may not have liked it.
The forum is open to anyone who wants free hosting, join up at tugdefense.com and post the name of your map, a video (if you have), the genre and a description of your map.
Right now im corrently re doing my forums so it will look better
When did i ever compare any of those to my map? Never did i say mine was better. Im just saying theres other maps out there that are far better (to my opinion of course) than MOST, not all, but most of the maps played atm.
@EternalWraith: Go Eh nothing wrong with paying to host your own site, wanting to offer the service to others if you like what they've done, etceteras. Isn't like he is charging for it by the way. Is no need to be condescending about a guy not liking a lot of what has been deemed most popular.
@Stexen: Go By the way Stexen, I also like your logo for Zaysite's project more than what he is currently using. If you do look at horologium rpg by the way, please ignore the horrible ugly dialogs that are present in the current version, in particular the hero select dialog, it is just bad and it should feel sad on the current version. Have something new this week I hope, assuming my monsters start doing what I want them to in the near future....
i looked at the videos, i saw a lot of depth in your character development. would love to try it
As for the other maps, i havn't taken a look at them, but I will tomorrow.
I will only consider adding maps that i feel are awesome or better. My goal is to have a portal where the members know any map listed there is deemed a great map, and not just any map can be hosted there - otherwise its just like battle.net arcade and nothing worth getting attention will get noticed.
I would agree this is a pretty awesome idea i would love a place people could submit bugs and what not
If you were willing to give mappers a place then i would love one I have been working on my map for about 1 year and a month i believe
I've gone ahead and quickly made a temp forum for you as an example, which can be changed from yourself to your liking.
So i was thinking of ways on how I could get more traffic to my game, and other games that I like as well. And i thought of this.
Collaborating 1 website/forums for multiple games.
The website and hosting is all paid from myself and im offering it the maps that want to collaborate for free. (I will host any map that was an active developer, even if its not good - aslong as an effort is made in the development)
benefits:
- The forums is already made - saving you tons of time
- shared members of all maps hosted on my site
- you get full mod of your forum, adding/removing what you like.
- increase traffic to your game
- build a more lively community for your game (assuming you dont currently have a website)
- no annoying advertisement banner or popups, and there never will be
features:
- Xenforo forums
- events sections
- wiki section
- clan section
- shoutbox secion
- paid reliable hosting (go daddy) which is offered to you for free
To check my website, visit TugDefense.com if your interested I could quickly wip you up your own forum with your logo.
Theres a Home section which i plan on changing it so you can enter any of the other maps from there.
Inspired by Legion TD and Squadron TD with a tug of war concept mixed in. Thousands of build build combinations. A game that offers more than 1 way of winning - so many different strategies!

Will see you guys next map night!

Been trying to figure this one out. Creating an image of a unit attacking or walking inside of a dialog.
How is this done?

@Vicboy: Go
Games that are popular really don't count for anything in my opinion. Half the spot light, top played, and top rated game I see are trash (not all)
I couldn't care if your map had 2 reviews to it - as long as its worthy.
I've never tried the Thing before, but I have seen your video. I could see how it could be fun.

yeah i made it, feel free to use it.

I've gone ahead and quickly made a temp forum for you as an example, which can be changed from yourself to your liking.
http://tugdefense.com/forum/index.php?categories/island-troll-tribes.49/
a few things to consider:
The "home" button in the nav bar will have the URL changed to a real home page listing the maps.
I quickly whipped up a logo for you, as I didnt find any. feel free to change it to whatever you'd like
The url you see for your forum can be changed.
the video of my map nere your logo is just for display showing what you can do with that little section
the background, font, litterally anything on your section can be changed to your liking without changing mine
the "homepage" feel isnt there, but can be added in (blocks on the side, whos online, etc)
you can compare that to my page, which is hosting that forum, http://tugdefense.com/
Let me know what you think, join the forum if you want your map (islan troll tribes) there
