You let us know.........we might add it if its possible and we like the idea...

We have thought of lots of things but you might come up with something really good...

What about something like a 'secret' area?!

okay - that's just me being tired and wanting every game in history to have easter eggs.... but it would still be cool. As would being able to upgrade weapons the more people you kill or something...

foz · Tue 13/04/2004 13:54:49

Privateer Puddin' :- We might do something similar...already an idea.
As we are having it if the soldiers don`t make it thats it for them.
Also if captured by enemy...put in POW camp.

Peter Thomas :-Secret areas....possible...not thought of that.
There will be a range of weapons.....

I am very into military tactics because I've been watching "band of Brothers" and other stuff, like "private Ryan" and "Blackhawk down"...

I was just wondering (I was close to ask you, by PM) if there's possible to make a lot of military tactics to be made in order to archieve something...

For example, remember "Private Ryan"? the first scene at Omaha? Have it in mind, because I wish to do something about it.

I would really like to see a recreation of that... let me put an example.

1) All the "soldiers" advance from the disembarking ships to the beaches in "Run till find shelter" mode(A special action) Some of them are killed (we could put a percentage in each region, where there is a percentage of soldiers killed per second).

2)then, they blow the fence with bombs... they advance to other shelter...

3) The "information officer" will have to take a look... he has more chances to take a look over that corner without being killed (maybe he is a character that don't get killed when he looks, whereas the others have just a 50% to survive, or something?)... The black part on the screen is revealed now, we see there is a machine gun nest and a place which can work as coverage for a man.

4) They must send a sniper to kill the nazi's (punctuation with in-joke

), but it gets killed if we don't make the others to start "shelter fire" another feature...

5) The sniper has to "run till finding shelter"... he can't be killed now, he is in a safe region. he kills the Germans in the machine gun nest... the others advance...

(END of mission)

Is that possible to be done or the necessary scripting lines to archieve it make the project too overwhelming for any sane AGSer?

Please tell me, I am very interested to do it... someone remembers "commandos", by Pyro studios? That's the reference... If someone wants to script that screen I mentioned before, make me know, by PM or something, I'll do the art and I'll post it as an open source...

FOZ... sorry for using your thread, but... you could be that man...

I would like to see nobody in MIA, seeing as MIA is my little sister.

Jockstrap · Tue 13/04/2004 14:41:04

No, no, no. It says WHAT would you like to see in Mia. What.

Czar · Tue 13/04/2004 14:49:43

A secret area with the last year Mittens stuff, you know?
You could ask Andail for some pictures.

Farl:Are you wanting to jump on the bandwagon....?

You mission could be possible...but sounds like a lot of programming...

The engine structure i have made is quite complex....and i`m finding new ways of doing stuff everyday...
M. I . A 2 might be more stragedy based at the moment doing stuff like that is a bit hard for me......getting an engine that allows control of 5 soldiers ...shooting....going into water and following teams as desired has been a challenge....and i`m glad to say it a battle i`ve been winning......I`m pushing the AGS engine though...the odd fatal error puts up until i find what caused it....

Its an interesting idea.....i might try some ideas for our game.

AMI:- very amusing...

Ps...i`ve not seen Shaving ryans privates...

Czar · Tue 13/04/2004 15:14:19

You could ask CJ to eventually put stuff like that in AGS, so you can stick here.

Anyways, when controling the soldiers, do you select one, and the others follow him, or do you select one by one?

I think if the game turns out to be really good (which it looks) you could do a stripped down version with just the things needed to make a mission - then make a best of version (with say the top 5 or 10 user created missions) - just my modding history coming through

Nacho · Tue 13/04/2004 19:05:52

Foz, if you want to make the attempt, make me know... Just one screen... Just a test. No matter when you'll be free, I'll remember this, go on with your project and make me know when you'll be ready.

And pliz, watch Ryan!

Gregjazz · Tue 13/04/2004 19:33:52

What I would like to see in MIA...

Blood in the snow like in Cannon Fodder 2. Grenades with which you can blow up buildings. Destroy many things!

Chicky · Tue 13/04/2004 20:05:42

me

foz · Tue 13/04/2004 20:50:24

Geoffkhan :- grenades already in.....no snow.....but blood yes..

Buildings will go in and as i`m making game i love as much features as possible...blowing up buildings coarse it in....

Privateer Puddin' : If i can make a mission editor i will.....it won`t be in the first release as i am cramming loads of other stuff in.......

OSC: your in already...

foz.

Redwall · Tue 13/04/2004 23:18:45

Interior areas, if they aren't already in.

Gregjazz · Tue 13/04/2004 23:20:52

How about footprints in the snow/dirt/mud?
