ArcRPG: Proof of concept

[iPlayer]

Hey guys

So I'm still on that MOTDPlayer package and wanted to show you something more than just simple buymenu.

This 3.5 min clip demonstrates how all these kinds of RPG mods can be extended with HTML MoTD.

Tell me what you think, and sorry for my, ehm, spoken skills.

[necavi]

Very nice! I like it!

[iPlayer]

Thanks! I'm sorry for 480p btw, forgot to adjust my Fraps.

[necavi]

Is the source code available anywhere?

[iPlayer]

Sure, here's bitbucket
https://bitbucket.org/kirillmysnik/arcrpg/src

Any missing Python/JS references - those probably refer to MOTDPlayer package - you can look them up here https://github.com/KirillMysnik/sp-motdplayer-package

I hadn't had a chance to watch the video till now, but this looks really awesome!!! I'm very much looking forward to seeing your progress on this mod.

[iPlayer]

Thanks, Satoon, nothing inspires me better rather than your guys' feedback.

Another update.

This time I've created NPC and quest systems.

This is how NPC are placed in Hammer Editor (I've decided to borrow VMF preprocession trick from ArcJail):

And this is what generated from VMF Preprocessor:

Syntax: Select all

{
    "npcs": [
        {
            "angles": "0 180 0",
            "origin": "-155.23 -2039 264",
            "class": "chemist"
        },
        {
            "angles": "0 25.5 0",
            "origin": "-1674 -1678 264",
            "class": "tele_master"
        },
        {
            "angles": "0 0 0",
            "origin": "-728 660 0",
            "class": "tutor"
        },
        {
            "angles": "0 180 0",
            "origin": "-272 -860 0",
            "class": "gun_merchant"
        }
    ]
}

This is how NPC classes are defined in ArcRPG data files:

Syntax: Select all

# tele_master.json
{
  "name": "npc tele_master name",
  "talk": "npc tele_master talk",
  "model": "models/humans/group01/male_03.mdl",
  "animation": "plazaidle4",
  "sprite": "arcrpg/npc_names/tele_master.vmt",
  "sprite_offset_z": 58
}

You can place multiple instances of the same NPC class in Hammer editor.

I hope y'all like it!

[satoon101]

Definitely! Keep up the good work on this. Very unique and very cool!

[iPlayer]

Thank you, guys :)

[L'In20Cible]

Like I already told you, this is awesome!! Very creative.

[iPlayer]

Thanks for support! Without it I would've given up already.

[iPlayer]

Also this


Finally made ArcRPG to add some options into arcadmin main menu.

Becoming a real GM over there.

[Kill]

Wow... impressive

[iPlayer]

Thanks for the feedback!

I equipped one of the mob's items and decided to record a short gameplay with it (w/o any commentary).

Don't mind that the mobs and the district itself are not for my level, I'm running low on mob profiles and available PvE-zones.

[Ayuto]

Absolutely awesome! :D

[iPlayer]

Thanks. Also thanks to Bristwex, he told me about env_fire_trail, which doesn't exist in FGD and is very poorly documented.

[decompile]

You get me all the time :D Just awesome!

Side note:

Is the deagle "bullet" itself still doing damage while the mob item is on?
