[Standalone] Mission/Story Editor

[DaGolem 95]

Gamemaster & Mission Editor

How about a Gamemaster (Serveradmin) that can generate a Mission/Story ?

This Gamemaster has a Menusystem like the MissionEditor from Arma2. He can Design a Mission/Story and run it. Also there is the possibility to save the Missions/Storys and put it into a Timeline on the Server.

Examples of a Mission/Story draw up:

1.A House surrounded by lots of Zombies. Inside the House is a NPC. The Mission is to help this guy.

2.A broken car on the street with a NPC needs help.

The loot for a successful Mission/Story will be automatic generated dependent on Player around.

Designing:

1.In the Mission Editor the Gamemaster chose a House on the Map and put a NPC Character into it and put a lot of Zombies around the House.

2.Put a Car on the map. Chose the broken parts. Put a NPC into it. Put Zombies around. Draw the Waypionts after the Car is repaired and the NPC saved so the NPC can drive away.

Conclusion:

This Mission/Story Editor can bring a new dimension into DayZ SA, because there a thousends of possible Mission/Storys that can be create. So the DayZ SA gets never boring, because User can create so much own Content.

With a good Mission/Story Editor there is absolutly no limit, only you imagination is the limit!

This is DayZ - this is your Story!

or some system to make money like on Takistan life, instead of finding a vehicle to fix up you have to buy vehicles and when you die your money is lost

I hope DayZ SA will have more Teamwork elements, more survival and less PVP Gaming.

If you want extrem PVP go and play BF3,COD,MOH and the other generic casual cash cow crap Games!

I really just want to comment on your signature..

None of the games listed below got PvP which can push aside the intensive battles of PvP in DayZ

The pvp in DayZ is why i, and ALOT of others play DayZ,

The whole point to DayZ is that it's a sandbox. No? Scripted instances like this would take away from the sandboxy nature.

Might make sense for Private Servers, if there is going to be any for the Standalone. I could see people do youtube series with DayZ similar to what the Yogscast did with Minecraft or for things like the Survival GameZ.

the arma 2 mission editor is very powerful. In DayZ Mod this might work. The problem is that for SA rocket and team is not allowing any scripts and things are being done server side. I am not sure if this would limit an editor's ability.

A campaign mode would be fun, just on the side. Maybe something like The Walking Dead, you wake up in a Hospital and it leads on from there with NPC's and other stuff, you could keep the DayZ elements by making it still free roam and all that but small objectives on the side and always the chance to run into NPCs (Not always friendly) would be cool.

You can already make this in a private server...

Yeah your right PVP ist part of the Game, but you have to realize that the PVP part is to much because there is no need for Teamwork. Only the Blood tranfusion needs another Player and the other thing is if there is only PVP in this Game it´s getting boring.

I´m not against PVP but SA need more then PVP, it needs Teamplay Idea´s.

And the best Idea´s brings constant varies without coercion.

I dont see the Problem in this. Make a new Mission/story is like Sandbox, because you build it and there is no one that say´s "You have to do it".

If you on a server with the Mission/Story´s then you can chose -> a] I run to the Mission/Story and I play it or b] I try to kill the people that try to complete the Mission/Story or c] i dont care about it!

Yeah is a good solution or make a serverfilter ->Mission/Story server [show/Dont Show]

This is not possible you can´t wake up at a place! If the server looks into the timeline and a Mission (example) names "Rescue old Man" beginns then there is a simple Massage for all with location, missiontarget, time...and so on and on. The players have the choice to do it or dont care about it. If they do it then they have to find the location and do it.

This variation that you mean of the Editor Idea´s sounds like singleplayer.

I like the idea its good but personally I think it would shatter the point of DayZ, its all about survival not do this and get loads of loot for doing it. It would take some of the adventure and make the game more easy to gain items.

and on a side note if I found an NPC with a car I would find the parts shoot the NPC and take the car.....XD

Like i said before....A Mission/Story is a "Can but it is not Must option...you dont have to play it."

And simple? Nope, it is not! You can be shure the next Bandits still waiting for you near the Mission/Story Piont. ;)

The loot? Maybe it is very good, maybe you get Baked Beans....it´s a Setting thing.

and on a side note if I found an NPC with a car I would find the parts shoot the NPC and take the car.....XD

hrhr...nice way to get a car...if you survive the ambush Bandits ;)
