Hello all,

Maybe my power will not go out again after I type this 

I need Serious serious help.  I am flying solo here.   I have long been working on an epic SWG movie.  In this movie I plan to have a huge battle scene.  I mean EPIC. 

I don't know if this can be done,  I maybe biting off more than the story teller stuff can do.  I want to have a server wide event where people set this scene off with explosions etc. and fighting.  Made all toons 55 in level.  

Problem:  I created an Epic battle scene. MUST see to understand it.  All of these components do NOT save to the blue print. 

Please see VIDEO HERE that shows what i am trying to do.  You must use Internet explorer and have Windows Media player and plug in to view.

The problem is I tried to save the entire battle scene on a blue print.  YET all the components, props, combat figures do not save to the blue print (shown in video).   Some of them do.

Below is the picture of how the blue print actually saved (not how it was).  If i use the components (as shown in the blue print and picture below) I get an error when i try to use it saying i do not have all the components.

Here is error and below that the blue print.  you can see i have all the items.  The blue print only saved below, but I DID attempt to save the whole scene.   Do i have to break it up?

Help!  How can i make this vision come true?  Is it even possible or am I pushing the envelope here?

drop the tokens required on the blueprint THEn deploy it

DOH!          has been many months.   Forgot about that part.   I will do so . .drop the tokens on it.    Big thanks. 

The second part to the problem is though:

I saved a HUGE scene on that blue print.   Yet, it does not have an eighth of what I thought i had saved.  Which is in the video above

Is there a size or area limit?   

Do i have to do this in sections?

And have a number of blue prints and try and lay out each section?

Anyone know what the size or area limit is?

Additionally, is there a way to have the NPC's battle one another if players set the scene in motion?    Will the NPC's only fight  PC's?

Yes, there is a limit of 200 items per blueprint.  There are also other restrictions, as well as some work arounds.

You can find all of these answers in more in the Blueprints Chapter of the MASTER CLASS : STORYTELLER CODEX guide, which features information on the entire Storyteller system.  You may wish to also pay special attention to Zel's (Moolyssa's) Advanced Blueprint guide where she details working in sections with larger projects.

Good luck!

TRULY  THANK YOU SO MUCH.  SORRY FOR THE BOLD LARGE LETTERS.   BUT I am REALLY GRATEFUL

I am a novice at this and I really appreciate the direction you have given me.
