Episode 5 Monster Creation Contest!!!!
Posted: Wed Mar 31, 2004 6:26 pmIDEA: Make a monster or monster group for Episode 5.
LOCATION: Monster should be balanced for either the fortress in the Sky Peaks area or for the Forest area after.
Judging will cover the following areas.
1. Graphic (Does it look good? It doesn't have to be custom.)
2. Balance (Does it provide an adequate challenge for average hero characters?)
3. Sound (How fitting is the attack sound? You can use new wav files if you want, but nothing over 50k please.)
4. Name (Please don't enter any silly names that won't fit the mood of the Episode)
5. Bribe Amount (Just kidding.)
6. Suggested CTP and AR (though I may change it)
PRIZE
Winner/s will receive a credit in the game and be elevated to the rank of Hilyn on the message board(wow).
*note - Plyn is the highest rank achievable by posting right now.
SUBMITTING
The easiest way to go about this is probably to make your additions directly to the Episode Way 5 database.
1. You will make additions to 4 of the tabs. Skills, Monster, Monster Party, and Battle Animation. Increase the Max Field Number where necessary.
2. In the monster party tab there are 4 archetypes located at 0008-0011. Notice the amount of monsters range from 1-4. You will need to copy one of these archtypes and paste it to a new field number, such as 0085. The archetype you select depends on how many monsters you plan to use.
0008 - 1 monster
0009 - 2 monsters,
0010 - 3 monsters
0010 - 4 monsters
*This step is needed so that certain special attacks work correctly among the characters like Rhue, Scatha, etc.
3. Delete the Female Krav/s(it's just a place holder) and add your monster/s in.
5. After you have finished testing your monster/monster party, make note of where you have made your additions in a text document.
