Ok, The basic premises would be a hold tutorial for DROD:JTRH. I remembered ZZT had something like this. The hold would include monster behavior, architectural information (such as how different walls work with each other), and how scripting works.
NOTE: I will not be able to work on this hold for a few months because of problems accessing the computer where I work on holds. As of now I hearby give permision for ANYBODY to take this idea and run with it. I am sorry about this. Thanks to Banjooie again for the monster rooms. They were great!
Now Back to the original post.
I have already started but I need some help because I have 2 problems.
1) Sometimes I get a bit wordy with the scrolls or I badly mispell words. The help I would need for this is for someone to make sure I don't run on to long or mess up to badly.
2) I would need help with certain rooms because as much as my delusions tell me I am a good puzzle maker, I know better.
To combat the first when I make any rooms with scrolls in them I will post them here. As a note: in the beginning I am looking for utility over beauty, so if/when you download the rooms it will not look nice in the beginning. When over half of this idea is done I will work on making it look nice.
As for the second I would appreciate any help I could get. You will be credited with your name in the room you help with as well as anything I can do to help(I would also like ideas on how to reward helpers, because I feel as if I am shortchanging anyone that would help).
Note: Current file is attached to my last post below.
Current things I will need help with:
--A room that shows how Tunnels work. Including the strange things you can do with them.
--A room that shows snake movement and how it works.
--A room that shows how Brains work, what they see and what they don’t see.
--I know the wubba’s are going to give me a headache, so if anyone can help that would be nice.
--If you want to make a room that shows how a certain monster level element works please post here to let me know.
--If you want to make any of rooms better looking just let me know which ones you want to work on.
Current things other people are working on:
--Banjooie has volunteered to help with:
---The monster rooms
----So Far They Look GREAT!
Current things I am working on:
--I was working on scripting and a little of everything else, but the computer where I do the building is currently out of my reach. Read the note above
This list will be updated if/when things change. Please let me know what you think.
Update 1: Loaded most recent hold version for viewing.
Update 2: Made rooms for the diffrent room styles, and re uploaded the file
Update 3: Fixed scrolls and stairs in main hall and changed the secret room
Update 4: Added the "
Oh Joy! It's Scripting Time!"
level and started working on it. Note: I can tell this one is going to eat up a LOT of space with the pictures of the scripting interface.
Update 5&6: The Monsters and The Music Room have been added. Thanks to Banjooie for the monster rooms.
Update 7: Adjusted a bunch of rooms; Relized I forgot to change where the stairs from the monster rooms went; worked on the bomb room a bit(I might want to change that into a couple rooms).
Update 8: Scripting room have gotten a major face-lift. Before the mildew invasion I was tring to make it look like the monster rooms Banjooie built.
