Variations in a custom group. There has to be an easier way.
ZamuelNow replied to SirArthurIV's topic in Mission Architect
It can be a lot of fun to design themes for enemy groups and adjustments like this are a great start. Differences can go subtle or wide. I do wish the color picker had a more defined grid, though. -
TV Guide: Zhym's index to TerroirNoir's "Cable Channel of AE!" Reviews
ZamuelNow replied to Zhym's topic in Mission Architect
I don't really see this section of the forums as dead. Especially if it's not being compared to General or Suggestions. It feels organized and there's no trolling. We're far more likely to actually answer someone's question. -
TerroirNoir's "Cable Channel of AE!" Reviews. Part 2.
ZamuelNow replied to TerroirNoir2's topic in Mission Architect
Glad you enjoyed it. It can be great for an author to see their arc through other's eyes. Though...I noticed a typo. And I know exactly how I wound up making it, ugh. As far as the third mission, the cave has invisible ghost patrols so they might have found you while you were in the middle of fighting the ambush. -
Mission Architect Sunday Special: Story based teaming in AE!
ZamuelNow replied to ZamuelNow's topic in Mission Architect
For today's Mission Architect Sunday Special we ran: @Maris's Der Nachzehrer Kommt (#55600) Fighting facist schemes! Small turnout but big fun. Unfortunately, no screenshots. Managed to push through the final missions. Wish I could work out a better time consistency since people enjoy these when they show up for them. NEXT TIME... MASS returns to Indomitable on September 7. -
Story Structure: Arc-based or mission based?
ZamuelNow replied to Forager's topic in Mission Architect
I tend to make arcs a full story, like a book or movie, with the individual missions as chapters of that story. If I do a sequel, it's a mostly self contained story that stands on it's own, even if it follows an existing arc. -
The Mission Architect Sunday Special returns to Victory on Sunday, August 17th at 2-4 EST in the RWZ.

AE debuted in I14 before power customization in I16. While it's disappointing that it wasn't added to AE later, the timeline makes sense.

untilUsing the style of a double feature, the Mission Architect Sunday Special is a monthly event for story based AE missions consisting of two arcs. Generally, the first will be selected ahead of time by the team leader while the second will be a random pick or chosen by one of the other team members. MASS will cycle across shards. It starts approximately 2PM EST in RWZ for co-op teaming.

Alright, looks like things can be shuffled around and I'll need to update things. NEXT TIME... MASS returns to Victory on August 17. -

Mission Architect Sunday Special: Story based teaming in AE!
ZamuelNow replied to ZamuelNow's topic in Mission Architect
For today's Mission Architect Sunday Special, we ran: @Darmian's Spirals: Part Three (#57197) Goldside mystery concluded! Small turnout but a multipart arc concluded. While I would usually go "NEXT TIME" and post the shard, there might be a change in location. Bear with me and I'll update shortly. -
Daily GM Hunt One Year Anniversary Event (31 July)
ZamuelNow replied to Glacier Peak's topic in Indomitable
Not the greatest shot but I got one of the pedestal. Had fun and actually managed to make it for the whole thing. EDIT: Uploaded off site since uploads to the forum don't seem to be working. -
Mission Architect Sunday Special: Indomitable thread
ZamuelNow replied to ZamuelNow's topic in Indomitable
The next Mission Architect Sunday Special is this Sunday, August 3rd, at 2PM in the RWZ. Trying to do better with bumping the thread but I have been updating the calendar. -
Mission Architect Sunday Special: Story based teaming in AE!
ZamuelNow replied to ZamuelNow's topic in Mission Architect
For today's Mission Architect Sunday Special we ran: @TwoDee's NPI: Input Error (#24425) Heroic origins in Praetoria! Everlasting managed to beat Indomitable's record of the most team members. Unfortunately, it slowly whittled down due to real life so we attempted but couldn't complete @Leese's Through Rose-Tinted Glasses (#22) for the second arc. MASS will attempt it again since it looked promising. Likely on Torchbearer's next run since Indomitable is in the middle of a multipart arc. NEXT TIME... MASS returns to Indomitable on August 3. -
Trial and error. It takes adjusting since we can't manually place spawns. BTW, which map are you looking at?

ZamuelNow replied to Arcanum's topic in Suggestions & Feedback
Not bumping the other thread but connecting the two so devs don't have to look multiple places: -
Dialogue triggers at the wrong times. Are they all just broken forever?
ZamuelNow replied to Zombra's topic in Bug Reports
There were actually a tiny number outdoor maps built correctly in the retail days. Though all of them have the multipart indoor/outdoor split. -
Map project v1 (Atlas Park & President Marchand's Office)
ZamuelNow replied to ZamuelNow's topic in Mission Architect
This is useful information that'll alter future suggestions but it also means "single room" outdoor maps are mostly a no go for adjustments unless they are bugs. -

Mission Architect Sunday Special: Everlasting thread
ZamuelNow replied to ZamuelNow's topic in Everlasting
The Mission Architect Sunday Special will be returning to Everlasting this Sunday at 2PM Eastern in the RWZ. -
What you do is make the Navigation Text (Plural) the same for all of them. You can even do that with optional objectives. I use an example of this in my arc Consideration of Knowledge.

Mission Architect Sunday Special: Story based teaming in AE!
ZamuelNow replied to ZamuelNow's topic in Mission Architect
Sorry about that. Woke up feeling sick and didn't think to post the cancelation in this thread. Next will be Everlasting on July 20 and Indomitable's next will be August 3, I believe. -
Oh, I'm willing to share secrets considering the arc has been around since retail. Yes, it's a recolored Tsoo artist. Mainly a file space saving measure since we used to have less space to build arcs. Didn't realize it caused a title change. The crystals...are renamed Devouring Earth pets (Will of the Earth). I'd suggest other authors do wiki dives since a lot of enemy groups have interesting mobs to repurpose. I'll have to look at the code again next time I'm in game but I forget if it's a triggered glowie or not. I know it's a swerve narratively to show that the stakes have been raised. The love/hate reaction to that map has been a constant that I enjoy. The map sets the tone it needs to. The only map I have issue with is the first map in the first arc due to the usual outdoor map headaches.

ZamuelNow replied to Glacier Peak's topic in Indomitable
You may want to add this to the event calendar. Granted, most who check Indomitable's forums probably already check here first.
