Idea - Need input

[Firefang]

I have an idea for a map, but I need your input. Basically it would be a single player only map where you spawn in a room as one of the stock Jedi with a pistol as your only weapon. Around you are various clone troopers representing legions (a 212th clone is 212 legion, etc.). You shoot the clone to choose your legion. Then you are teleported to another room with various heroes in the same fashion. You shoot one to choose your hero. Then it transports you to a third room. This room allows you to choose what vehicles will present themselves on the map. I can do all the lua and sides scripting for this map but I do not have time to do the map or the skins. What I am asking is if anyone would like to help me with this, either ideas or mapping/skinning.

Edit: I have decided to just load this as another mode for my current map. Ideas are still appreciated

Sure, you need a lot of LUA scripting, but if you can do that without problems...
However, it's a a-we-some idea. I could do the skins if you want

Thank you and here is a video of some ingame model changing www.xfire.com/video/3cc3c0/

nice work on the model change Firefang
sry I can't help you, but I have too much to do

Another mode that would be neat (and I can do) is a customizable hero mode. It would be a one versus all with a timer to spawn a boss (like Mav's wave mode but with one endless wave). You choose weapons and unit models in the same fashion as above.

yea, sounds very good, but it kinda reminds me of HvB

If you want an ingame customizable character, he needs to be the only character on the field or it will crash. (Or I can ask Fasty if he wants me to make that a singleplayer only mode )

sry, but I didn't understand why you said that, cause I don't think I said anything about customizable characters :S

offtopic: congratulation ranking up again

[Firefang]

I thought you were refering to the one human vs AI side.

Basically, you can't customize a character. You customize a class. If anyone else is spawned as the class while you change it, you will get a CTD (or that only happens to clients on a osted server). If you don't have a CTD, the map will be increasingly unstable because you have the same class spawned in two or more different ways. The first idea works because you disallow AI spawn until you are finished choosing legion/hero/vehicles. With the second one, the idea was to change weapons during the level based on your needs. But I could change it to the same format the first post.

Another issue you have to customizing everything about units is the sheer lua size. If the lua is trying to handle too many variables and class changes, it again makes the map increasingly unstable. That's why this need to be singleplayer.

I hope I made this clear.
