Map testing Idea
« on: June 22, 2011, 01:47:04 am »
When u go to test your map your always a orangish lion. Why not make it to where u can pick a character to test it with? you wouldnt have to add that feature to the game maybe add it as a optional download or something.

I don't think this a good idea, if you want to see your character in the map, why not visit it in-game? Just that, there are many more bugs and sturf that Kov is fixing, wouldn't this just waste his time?

I think it would be quite some work to set that up since the characters are not stored on the computer, but on the server, hence why you must log in to get them.

True. Is there a way to set a preset as your test character for testing your maps?

I know that in the very old version of FH when we were still waiting for a server, users made presets and ran around with them in the map maker.

If this still works the same way I do not know. But if it does it should be the preset_1 inside my_presets that sets it.

But as mentioned, I do not know if that works anymore since I run around with my default lioness.

I personally think it would be nice if one could choose from say...three sizes of testing character, because I'd like to know if small characters won't get stuck in something without without going online, making it all the way to the cape, going in the portal, and then...Well, darn, I'm stuck. Guess I have to close the game, re-open it, open up mapmaker, fix what I got stuck in, and start again.

It would be nice if you could change the characters size and species. Ive created maps with hollow logs leading to dens and large characters could not fit.
I know your thinking why not just log out and shrink the character than come back. Well ive been logging in to the game and want to join an rp, turns out only felines can join so i log out, change my species but i cant log back in because i cant connect to the server for ages. Im sure im not the only one with this problem.

Ive always liked the idea of being something different to an orange lion. It would be good if the sky changed too, not just being in the middle of the day all the time but thats off the point. If the server is down you cannot go online then run all the way to Cape to see your map with a different character. Also you might get Bad Tokens on the way there.
