An idea....

[TwilightKing]

You know, we all have projects that are incomplete/abandoned. I have an idea. Why don't we upload some of our incomplete projects somewhere, and let each other play around with them. I think this might create new interest in abandoned works, as well as inspiring others to continue their projects, or try something new that their project might need. This could also be a good way for others to learn some of the little tricks out there in the code part.

What say you?

That sounds like a great idea. I'd love to see what others have been upto, and hopefully find some bits of code that will snazz up my own game.

i think this is a great idea. the only problem would be finding some place to put them all...which may not be that big of a problem. [img]smile.gif[/img] a folder called "unfinished designs" can be put up at yahoogroups...in fact i'll do that momentarily.
follow the link below. i don't know if you will have to be a member to download, but you definitely will to upload.
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/UAForever/
in the menu on the right hand side, click on "files" and then again on "unfinished designs".
please create a subfolder or put it all in one zip file.
most importantly, let everybody know that you've uploaded something!

Cool! I'll get to work making my Sunless Citadel module suitable for downloading. Currently it is nothing more than 3 maps, and a couple of events, one of which is nothing more than a test. But....i'll get it up there over the weekend [img]smile.gif[/img]

This is a great idea TwilightKing. Kudos.

Like many others I am guessing, RL has claimed most of my time these days (darn jobs!). Sadly though, I really don't have any unfinished/abandoned mods. I only really have the 1, and I do intend to go back and finish it some day. =) I personally am hoping for some more time this summer, but hopefully some time will free up here to continue my work on it.

But I do look forward to trying/looking into these other designs. Maybe it can inspire me all over again!

Real Life dealt me another blow Sunday when my harddrive crashed. So I won't be uploading my mod for at least a week or two. Fortunately, I do have a version backed up.....somewhere.

I have a new PC on order (finally getting a Pentium 4!!! I was using a Celeron 433 Mhz) and when it arrives I will get to work.

I have an old UA adventure that I did up many moons ago. I'll convert that to DungeonCraft but it will take me a while as I'm going away for a few weeks for business.

i think this is a great idea, so to support i was looking through my unifinished designs to see what i'll work on again and what i can put up for others. turns out that my unfinished designs are not much to look at. i get an idea, jot down a paragraph or two and start looking for art or making my own. then, i get sidetracked. [img]smile.gif[/img] not a lot of coding takes place. there are two exceptions but i'm still working on them- see my projects page. maybe i'll just keep looking, or at least finish one a little more.

Got my new PC!!!!!!!!!!!!

And through the miracle of dumb, blind luck, I was able to resurrect my old hard drive and retrieve all of my old DC files! Yes..it was a good day. I hope to post some stuff by the weekend.
