What do we call the main MS world?

I have never actually figured that out :|

Anyways, just curious

 

[zeus9860]

World of Leann?

 

[Thothie]

World of Leann. Continent o' Daragoth.

 

[Monika's_BFFEx0255]

I thought it was still Black Mesa.

 

[Thothie]

Don't tell the official Black Mesa Scientist LARP guild that while you're there. They aren't allowed to break character. 8)

 

[Monika's_BFFEx0255]

Why would they want to RP that, all it is is "DO YOU KNOW WHO ATE ALL THE DONUTS?" "<insert scientist.wav here>"

 

[J-M v2.5.5]

Why would you want to do LARP in the first place...?

 

[Thothie]

I was thinking rather, the scientists from Black Mesa, are in a LARP guild, and you are interacting with said LARP'ing scientists in MSC, hence why everyone looks suspiciously familiar... But meh, nothing kills a joke like having to explain it. Delivery fail.

A moment of free time / boredom...

        • Goblin Town
        • The Haunted Forest (Eswen Mallan, formally "The Forest of Winter's Shadow" if the MS:S team is going to use the new name Lanethan came up with... the original name was Eswen Meldanual but the meaning is lost)

        • Adellar desert
        • Eldarrin, the Empire capital city (Human Empire? I'm not sure)
      • The continent of Dreadwind (SW from Daragoth)
        • The original endgame, featuring the core of the Palace of Shahaed, which teleported here (you know your dark castle is badass when its core can teleport around)
      • Unknown "massive continent" that lies "far to the East" where "strange and exotic peoples live, who battle with snake-like creatures featuring many heads"

      • Rumor has it that the Loreldians built a bunch of crystalline castles (like the Frozen Tear) on the moon, long ago

    • The Soul-well (your soul goes here if you're dead)
    • The Reach ("a rather pleasant place", comparable to heaven I guess)
    • The Harness ("a rather nasty place", comparable to hell)

Maps:

• Map of Daragoth, as currently used by/planned for MS:C: click
• Map of Daragoth, to be used in MS:S I think: click
• And just for fun, a really, really, really old map of a part of Daragoth: click

Note: Some maps have several background stories. I'm not sure anymore which maps are 'official' and which are not, but if I removed everything that wasn't part of Lanethan's original plans, Wicard Oven, the Keledros business, the mines, Longroot, the Shadahar palace and even the Bloodrose mountains would have to go.

Also, unrelated: I wonder if they sell milk in bags in Kray Eldorad.

The Elemental Planes
Carnaan, the Plane of Fire
Odriz, the Plane of Water
Hnshasa, the Plane of Air
Mughedd, the Plane of Earth

Is there any more elaboration of the Elemental Planes? Particularly what do they look like?

 

[BioRage]

Nice, Thanks Guys,

And J-M for that big list, Your boredom will used wisely.

 

[zeus9860]

Nice info JM, time to copy paste it to a notepad...

 

[J-M v2.5.5]

copy paste it to a notepad

paste it to a notepad

paste to a notepad

to a notepad

Also @Stoned: I've not seen more information regarding the Elemental Planes...
Except for this: If you want to make an elemental plane (as a playable map), you must be either Adam Foster, Rickler or some other undisputed Goldsource mapping deity.

 

[thesupersoup]

If you do them in Source, then you could be all like Displacements and stuff.

While the MS:S map is lovely, that's not necessarily representative of the final list of maps. I believe Bloodrose wouldn't be a bad one to keep in spite of the lack of solid lore backing,, and Keledros is already being worked on, but some of the others like Wicard Oven and the Longroot jungle might be nothing but bard's tales during the time period MS:S is set.

 

[Monika's_BFFEx0255]

I'm sorry Thothie, misunderstanding

 

[Age]

It's ok Thothie, I understood the original joke.

At least someone understands me!

Ya gotta keep Bloodrose! Now that Slithar, Venevus, and Atholo 2.0 are gone, it'd be THE major trade route between the human and elven kingdoms - all sorts of factional possibilities going on there. Besides, unlike Keledros, it is actually original lore, more or less.

Sadly, despite our absolutely insane number of maps, a great deal of the MSC geography is still only legendary. Hopefully that'll change, but I'd expect MSS to be in the same boat, only much more so, but only in its early days.

>_>

Elemental planes do have all the drawbacks described yonder. They aren't critical to lore. They may not even be physical planes, but merely sources of elemental magic set aside by the Loreldians to expedite certain magical methods, but if you want to work on one, whatever floats your boat. 'sides - Stoned's mapping skills have come a long way, even if his ability to actually keep focus long enough to finish a map hasn't.

Why of course, sir. Bloodrose will still be in

 

[J-M v2.5.5]

WHAT ABOUT NASHALRATH LOL

 

[Age]

inb4 MS:S is released and

"gais, you didn't put in teh animations i requested"

 

[J-M v2.5.5]

But in all seriousness, if Nashalrath gets put in MS:S, the mod can not die soon enough imo
