Yeah, you're 100% correct, the idea behind this map definitely didn't work out within Vagante and the editor's limits.

Still, I made it because I wanted to play around with an interconnected level design a bit, and since people seem to continue downloading it, I don't want to suddenly remove the map from the workshop.

this map was fun. but feels like it was made for a different game with infinite revives and level ups becoming useless. doesnt match the vagante feel that i was looking for.

how to start?

the problem with that is the zones reset after leaving them but there are maps that have used that concept

I'd suggest maybe make a map with a "hub" area in the middle and from there you can go to whatever "zone" you want (the zone would be instances to reduce issues). And maybe add some respawn and some random stuff in some zones. It would feel like a bit more open rpg experience :D

you can split up a map to make it run on online multiplayer but i'm fairly sure the point of this map is that its one huge area, crosses don't work anywhere even in intermissions

Or you can make it a bit more instanced? No need to make it FULL open world if it doesn't work

what if you can make the bosses instanced? take it like how darksouls did, put a loadingscreen between each boss

the game has been getting very minor updates, I only know because one prevented my friend from playing the game on his mac for like a year

Yeah, the editor is very limited and esoteric, you really have to jump through hoops to do many things. There are also a lot of limitations which really make this map jank as hell (e.g. bosses leaving their arenas), and due to it's size it will pretty much always crash if you try to play it online, it only works on local / remote play coop.

Can't really do much with it at this point since the devs seemingly moved on long ago, so no more updates for the game or the modding tools. Also, I don't even have the map files or interest in it anymore.

yeah vagante modding is really weird about mp, crosses don't work and for larger maps it'll just crash unless you're doing local co-op

Bro, i like the ideea but if it doesn't work in mp that's a bummer. I really love this game, but there are hardly any mods out there to keep in the content and the devs finished working on it D:

oh ok thanks

@Skondontus L. Brindnar

The map is too big and doesn't work with online multiplayer, if you wanted to play it co-op, you either have to be on the same PC, or use Remote Play Together.

crashes instantly upon starting when hosting on multiplayer

@L3M0N

Glad you liked it. I was thinking about tinkering with it some more, but I haven't touched Vagante in two years, and I think I stopped working on it due how annoying and limited the editor and engine were. Still, might have to finally fill it up with some more items as I wanted in the past

This was a fun one, got a rune too! loaded for me just fine

thanks for the info

I believe that in order to launch custom levels, you have to press F9 on the character selection screen, but I haven't played the game in a long time.

@turdogum whats the right way to paunch it?

@Birdman Jones
I'm not sure if there even was an update to the game since I posted the last version to be honest, I haven't touched it in ages. Are you sure you're launching it correctly?

it doesn't seem to work on the newest version of the game, is there a way to update the mod myself?

@BlearyEight
No idea, I haven't touched it since 2020

Does it work on the newest version?

Good to know. Thanks :P

@Night_Rage
I don't really know, varies from person to person. If you want to explore the entire map it might take you a bit

Curious, How big/long is this map? Im new to the game, but always looking for more content. Assuming MegaMap means 1 level, but huge, How long does it take to play this?

@AldysTV
Unless some patch changed something, it should be working on singleplayer or local coop (online coop will crash), and the map is about as finished as it could be with the very limited editor this game offers. It's jank, it's unbalanced, it has plenty of issues such as bosses leaving their arenas, but you might enjoy it for what it is.

Is the mod finished or working?

Crashes when i open it

Sadly I can't really fix it in any way, the map editor / modding tools in Vagante are very limited and annoying to work with. There are a lot of things that I'd like to change or correct, but they're beyond my ability, or rather beyond what the modding tools offer.

Really big and well-designed, and checkpoints are nice, but gets to be a handful if you accidentally trigger a boss or don't defeat it... some of em follow you around the entire level.

From what I've heard, this map / addon is unstable on online multiplayer due to it's size and the game's netcode. You can still play it on co-op locally or via remote play together, but online multiplayer will most likely crash.

If it crashes on singleplayer, then I really don't know why would that be, since AFAIK the game wasn't patched after I released the last update, and the map worked for me and several other people just fine.

Hey this crashes everytime I try to load it? Is it due to the recent update? Any advice welcom!

how i open this mod?

Aw feelsbad, good luck i hope it works out

@Melloe
I might at some point, assuming that I can retrieve the files from Steam cloud. I've lost all most of the stuff on my HDD when my PC died recently.

Awesome map! enjoying the setup so far :D Give us mooore

@Vilhien
In the editor on the far right side of the top bar, next to the workshop menu, there's a dropdown menu simply called "More", click on it and select "Resize Act"

Hey no I understand, I've done a few of my own projects and unity and I understand the burnout. You think you could help me with something though bud? I can't for the life of me figure out how to change the default dimension size of the acts in room creation from 12x8. How do you adjust that size?

Thanks for the comments, I'm planning on getting back to the work on the map sometime in near future, had to take a bit of a break, because I was starting to feel burned out.

Hey mang,

Love your work,

Please understand that these things only happen with love, l love that your motivated enough to do this... Damn.. That's saying enough.

Only got in for a few moments just now but I've got to say I love it so far. Friggen' "Things" got me after I fell to the bottom of the well and survived somehow.. Great job.

This is pretty cool, I never really got too far in the original myself.. I co-op'd one time though with someone who was practically a god at the game though and took us both through it. Since I hadn't wanted to play and I'm really happy to see you can make your own maps. I can't wait to check this out.

👍

Thank you for the answers. Maybe, we will give a try this weekend and keep looking this MOD. Regards and thank you for share!

CONTINUATION:

- The knight sprites that you see on the screenshots are my personal ones that aren't included with the map (sadly, you can't do that at the moment). I could probably make another custom knight skin loosely based on the reference images you've linked, I can't promise anything though

@Verllero

Hi, glad that you took a look at my map. As for your questions:
- The map isn't that long yet, I myself can loot everything and kill all bosses in 30-40 minutes, but take in mind that I have all zones pretty much memorized, so I'd say I can do it significantly faster than a first time player. I tried to add the savepoint, but it's kinda broken in the editor and simply doesn't work when placed on the map.
- If you die, you will respawn next to the last bonfire you came across. Make sure to walk past them, there's an invisible checkpoint trigger that saves your spawn point. Also, I'm aware that one of the checkpoints reaches a little bit too high and you can accidentally trigger it from floor above, I'll fix this in the next update

I haven´t downloaded, but, this looks amazing. I have some questions:

* My big brother and I, want to play it, but some times we don´t have enought time. Is there a save state we can share in coop online?. I mean, can we save our game?
* If we die, can we load an save state / save file and continue the adventure again?

* Is there any possibility you can change the knight sprite in something like this?:

I´m not requesting a super high HD sprites... just something like that.
