Hey everyone, really wanted to get into this but its been harding finding a codex or guide to the far wilds scripting language. Also if you could teach me some scripts I would use in this map I would be grateful. Could someone please post that? And also where do I go to test my map ideas and actualy input my code? I used the map editor to make the map I wanted so I have an idea how to change terrain but not a clear idea.

Also if you want to work with me, this is my idea.

Basic Elements:

Seat of the Essenes is in Effect
10 Glory to win (More on that later)
Very Large Map, 30 x 30 if it's possible
Island Layout, Islands are each indiviualy designed and have a flux well and are 5-7 contiguos tiles big.
No Decks
No Domain Requirements
Round 1 Unit Selection
Everyone has a Cargo Fluyt that has 0 attack 5 Health Heal 1 4 Speed 4 Vision 0 Range, if possible it cant be attacked.

Premise: If at end of round you control a flux well, it dissapears and you gain 1 Glory. You must travel while fighting opponants to steal the flux. At first you wont see each other but as you explore islands you will fight. There are lots of islands and hopefuly it can support up to 4 players but you can play it with just 2 players. There are quests on some islands that when completed give you cards and the flux to cast them. (So you never have to worry about flux in this one.)

I know its a big undertaking but it sounds like alot of fun! Maybe we can even make an AI script for it!!

Thanks in advance,
Knight

It definitely seems doable but it would be challenging to make. The place to start is http://thefarwilds.com/wiki/index.php/Scripting
This contains pretty much all the info necessary for creating scenarios. You'd probably also want to look at some scripts other people have done to get you started: http://thefarwilds.com/story/login.html
Most of the things you want aren't too hard to do except for making it 30x30. the biggest you can have displayed at once is 17x17. However it is possible to make the map stay centered around the player as jed did with the wilds (not available right now). It seems like it could introduce other difficulties as well since you would not be effected by things outside the 17x17 are (such as a seat of the essences). I could probably kludge something together that worked for a solo game but I would probably need help from jed if I wanted it to work for multiple players.

Awesome! I'll get to work on a map then, cause I kinda understand that. Where do you enter your script and test it?

After editing your script, you should have an option to "ready" it and put it in the script selection screen.


Also for your "huge map", I suggest linking several 17x17 maps together with flipthescript()

I'm not exactly sure how to do it myself, but I'm sure there's a way. Good luck buddy!
