[Callahan]

I remember playing this old game on computer.
Did it feature destructable environement?

 

[Illidan(Evil)X]

Certain walls, buildings and trees? Dunno, it's too long ago..

 

[Callahan]

I mean in your map because in the game you could destroy stuff.

 

[Ranger21]

Heh, cool
Modes:
Deathmatch
Team Deathmatch
Capture The Flag
Last Man Standing


;p

 

[Illidan(Evil)X]

I mean in your map because in the game you could destroy stuff.

Pretty much everything will be destructable.

 

[Callahan]

Pretty much everything will be destructable.

I guess it makes sense for a game called 'Mass destruction'

 

[Septimus]

womd should be more awesome.

 

[Illidan(Evil)X]

I guess it makes sense for a game called 'Mass destruction'

Map has to live up to its name you know.

womd should be more awesome.

I'm sorry, what?

 

[Super-Sheep]

Awesome!

But maps with arrow keys always have their bad side, delay.

 

[TheHunterKiller]

Those screenshots are epic. This is going to be awesome when it is completed.

 

[Callahan]

'womd' means weapon of mass destruction.

 

[Illidan(Evil)X]

Those screenshots are epic. This is going to be awesome when it is completed.

Thanks. I'll need the support.

'womd' means weapon of mass destruction.

So... I guess he wants the map renamed then.

 

[noob134]

Heh, cool
Modes:
Deathmatch
Team Deathmatch
Capture The Flag
Last Man Standing


;p

Isn't deathmatch and last man standing the same thing
lol
looks like a great map with lots of good models and triggering.
One question:
What is the current progress on this map?

-noob134

 

[Ranger21]

Deathmatch - kill units for frags and have respawn

Last Man Standing - win ROUNDS, be last, who survive.

 

[Septimus]

I'm sorry, what?

Callahan already answer you. And yeah, naming it Weapon of Massive Destruction sound more awesome

But it was your call.

Since the theme was entitle destruction, why not have a mode called "Destruction"?

Destruction - Destroy at least 80% of the enemy territory in order to win.

 

[Illidan(Evil)X]

Since the theme was entitle destruction, why not have a mode called "Destruction"?

Destruction - Destroy at least 80% of the enemy territory in order to win.

That's a great idea for a mode. Though the players doesn't 'own' any parts of the level, the winner(s) of the round could be the most destructive player/team.

 

[Septimus]

Another mode you can possibly add would be Apocalypse mode. One player would be randomly selected to use Apocalypse tank.

Apocalypse - Destroy the Apocalypse tank in order to win. If you are the Apocalypse tank, you must destroy every single tank in the game.

Of course, you can ensure the game would be fairly balance by giving the Apocalypse player 2 lifes and it have double damage and hitpoint compare to other tank.

So awesome!

The screenshots are totally unbelievable 0_o. I can't believe its actually possible in WC3! Awesome job!

This one sounds interesting as well

So awesome!

Thanks. It's not supposed to look much like Warcraft.

Added a new screenshot of the WIP Hotkey Selection to the first post.
Edit: Also added a new gameplay screenshot.

 

[Squidle]

Really awesome game!
If this is released, I'll be WAY more on B.net!

Maybe... some ideas:

GAME MODES
Defend the Base - Destroy the opponents base in order to win.
Bomb rush - One team will try to place the bomb at the bomb place (Place Alpha, Place Bravo, Place Navy or other names) and the other team will try to keep them away from placing the bomb.

TANK MODES
Search and Destroy! - The tank's damage and attack speed is increased but it's protection will decrease.
Runaway - The tank's movement speed will increase but it's damage will decrease.
Fire at will - The tank's range will increase but it's movement will decrease.
Scout - Don't have a fitting tooltip for this, but the cam will zoom out so you can see a bigger part of the place.

RADIO
1. Affirmative.
2. Negative.
3. Double Time!
4. Enemy is weakened.
5. I've got the bomb!
6. Requesting backup.
7. Men down.
8. Protect the base.
9. Placing the bomb, defend me.
10. Woooohooo! (Or another cheer sound)
11. Coward...

The radio would be some kind of Spell-Book type thingy.
Press on it and then you can choose those sounds.

Hope you like it!

 

[Ranger21]

Don't use spellbook for radio.

I recommend command:

-r1 = Affirmative.
-r2 = Negative.
etc....

It is faster...

 

[Septimus]

Another possible mode you can add are as follow up below.

Escape - 1 team would play as Escape team while another as Hunter team. The escape team must have at least half of his teammate escape in order to win.

(That's mean if escape team have 4 player, 2 of them must escape.)

Supply & Depot - Both team start off with 200 point and the mission objective was to capture or destroy any available supply center in the map. For each supply center that was captured, it would decrease the enemy point by 1 per seconds. However, no point would decrease if the opponent have the equal amount of supply center capture by your team.

If all supply center was destroy, the team with highest point would be declare as winner.

 

[Illidan(Evil)X]

TANK MODES
Search and Destroy! - The tank's damage and attack speed is increased but it's protection will decrease.
Runaway - The tank's movement speed will increase but it's damage will decrease.
Fire at will - The tank's range will increase but it's movement will decrease.
Scout - Don't have a fitting tooltip for this, but the cam will zoom out so you can see a bigger part of the place.

Tank modes won't be necessary, as the tank attributes are open for customization before each round.
All players are given 30 points each, and can spend those on whatever attribute they want.

Power: Attack power, or damage if you want.
Armor: Increases the number of hits you can take before blowing up.
Speed: Movement-, acceleration- and turning speed.

It is faster...

I have a faster one: A hotkey + a number.
So instead of entering a chat message, you just have to press i.e. 'R' + '2' to display a message.

 

[Squidle]

Yeah that with the Hotkeys is the best option.
When is the Beta version coming out?

 

[Craka_J]

You always make your mods look like real games, with your damn lobbies and cool menus! I love it! Lets see how far this one goes.

 

[Gausslander]

Game mode suggestions...

Quarantine - A (random) tank's crew has been infected by a strange infectious disease! Although it is slower, it has a devastating poison attack, heavy biological armor, and can spread the disease to nearby tanks! The infected tank wins if it can destroy or infect all other tanks, if the infected tank is destroyed, and no other tanks have been infected/are still in action, the last crews alive will claim victory.

Juggernaut - A (random) tank has been outfitted with energy-enhanced weaponry and armor, making it a concealed weapon of doom, or "Juggernaut". If the Juggernaut is destroyed, the tank that destroyed it is granted with its abilities - so on and so forth. Points are only earned for killing as the Juggernaut, or killing the Juggernaut. The player with the most points at the end of the allotted time limit wins.

Survival - All tanks must work together (as they may not damage one another) to fight off twenty waves of increasingly difficult enemies. The tank who has the most combined kills/waves survived points at the end of the game claims victory.
Example Waves
1 - Paratroopers (General infantry drop in random locations on the map)
2 - APCs (Armored Personnel Carriers come in and drop off general infantry, and rocket infantry to thwart your defense)
3 - Engineering APCs (Armored Personnel Carriers come in, dropping off engineers who will attempt to set up turrets around the map to attack you)
4 - Pumas (APCs armed with anti-vehicle cannons, which drop off rocket infantry around the map)
5 - Rivals (First Boss Fight, sends in enemy tanks equal to the amount of surviving tanks on the map, all with equal or better weaponry)
6 - Anti-Vehicle Paratroopers (Rocket infantry and Engineers drop in random locations on the map)
7 - Light Tanks (Anti-vehicle tanks with enhanced speed capabilities)
8 - Light Tanks and Pumas
9 - Spec. Ops. (Infantry who are invisible except when attacking. They set C4 charges and claymores all around the map, as well as fire grenade launchers at your tanks)
10 - Juggernaut (Second boss fight; sends a Juggernaut tank, along with some Pumas and Engineering APCs to thwart your defense)
11 - Light Tanks and Spec. Ops.
12 - The Drop (Spec. Ops, Engineers, Rocket Troops, and general infantry paratroop down)
etc.

Every 5 waves or so players would be allowed to level up, and switch out gear.

 

[Illidan(Evil)X]

Yeah that with the Hotkeys is the best option.
When is the Beta version coming out?

I expect it to be ready within a couple of weeks, depending on how much time I have at disposal.

You always make your mods look like real games, with your damn lobbies and cool menus! I love it! Lets see how far this one goes.

Hehe. Keeping it as far away from Warcraft as possible.
It's both challenging and fun.

Game mode suggestions...

I'll consider it. I particularly like the Juggernaut mode.

 

[Gausslander]

More game mode suggestions...

Tile Control
(This would most likely have a set map)
The map would be divided into 120 squares (20 for each player, roughly), which you must capture by driving your tank over them (tiles would change color depending on their captor). You may destroy other tanks like in any other mode, and they would respawn after a certain time (6 seconds to start off with, additional four seconds every two deaths). The player with the most tiles at the end of the allotted time limit wins.

Artillery Dodge
Dodge wave after wave of artillery, the last tank standing is the victor.
(Set amount of starting bombs, which have a 1.8 second marker that appears before they are finally dropped on that set location, number of bombs increase every wave)

Gun suggestion...

Kirby Cannon
Mildly expensive due to very effective ability
\\\SPECIAL WEAPONRY///
A biologically-enhanced weapon, that can transform itself into any other - simply get close to another tank, unleash your connection ray upon it, and you will be granted with that weapons statistics for ten seconds. Has a five second cooldown.

 

[Septimus]

Juggernaut mode remind me of Berserk mode in Gunz Online.

 

[Deolrin]

And that radio suggestion reminds me of Counter Strike. The numbers are almost the same as in CS. Also, the bomb place names remind me of WarRock.

 

[Illidan(Evil)X]

Juggernaut mode remind me of Berserk mode in Gunz Online.

Is that a good or a bad thing?
I've never played it..

 

[Zack1996]

Oh yeah. I want to ask something. How do you die? Does your tank just explode or does your screen get fuzzy and black out?
It would be awesome if it was the latter xD

 

[Illidan(Evil)X]

Like this:

 

[Zack1996]

That's so freakin' EPIC! You thought of everything!

 

[Craka_J]

Holy shit dude, crazy but great idea with the glass bullet filter. I'm so totally anticipating to play this online now lol

 

[Amigurumi]

this is going to be an awesome map. I really love it, to see maps, where you think: Is this warcraft 3?

I like the idea with the broken glass, if you die.

Race Mode
Win a race against the other team! There is a defined (or maybe a random?) track, and your aim is to reach the finish.
You can kill enemies with your weapons, and they will respawn at the last checkpoint (or will be stunned/unable to do anything for some seconds).
There are also powerups, which increases speed/damage... Like mario kart, if you know that game

Headquarter
Your and your teammates aim is to destroy the headquarter of the other team.
It's protected with 3 generators, which have to be destroyed first, to turn an shield off, which protects the main building.
The first team, which destroys the enemy's main building, wins.

 

[Ranger21]

Why you have s0 hax0r style?

Huh... not bad

 

[Illidan(Evil)X]

Wut? I haxed teh game?

Huh... not bad

You're not easily impressed, are you?

 

[Deolrin]

Edited because he deleted his post.

 

[Illidan(Evil)X]

There's no Kil1er here? Hmm.. guess he removed his post then...

Edit:
Aaaanyways.. I've got the game mode selection up and running, and are now going to create the first mode; the Deathmatch.

 

[Gausslander]

Sweet. I like the icon. How many modes are you willing to add in there?

 

[Craka_J]

So are you kind of intending to make this mod similar to Twisted Metal?

 

[Ranger21]

Wut? I haxed teh game?


You're not easily impressed, are you?

Offcourse , after TCX i can't be impressed really much by that all "Custom things", but you have good style of maps. Impressive drawings

 

[Illidan(Evil)X]

Sweet. I like the icon. How many modes are you willing to add in there?

The more the better. However, I will only have two or three for the beta.

So are you kind of intending to make this mod similar to Twisted Metal?

Didn't play that one either, but after searching some videos, it doesn't seem that far from it.

 

[Craka_J]

Twisted Metal has been my favorite car game since I was three or four years old... I'm a long-term gamer lol. Basically Twisted Metal is a game where you choose a vehicle and deathmatch against several others in a level. They all fight each other, but it seems like you're the main target. Cars are equipped with missiles, machineguns, and other crazy shit. If you haven't played Twisted Metal, the Half-Life 2 mod "Die In Pain, Rest In Peace" (D.I.P.R.I.P.) is a lot like it too, though not as variant with the cars you can choose from.

 

[Illidan(Evil)X]

That pretty much summed up the map and its current deathmatch build.

Edit:
Player profile save/load code has been successfully implemented. One step closer to beta.

 

[Zack1996]

Woah. A save/load system? What do players actually save/load anyway? Do they save points or the ability to choose some special tanks/weapons?
Really looking extremely good! I am looking forward to the beta!

 

[Illidan(Evil)X]

It saves/loads the player's current level and battle points, which again allows the use of special unlockable tank models.

 

[Jaijaibinx]

looks awesome, just wondering.. Did you use a multiboard for the stuff at the top, i.e. weapon, ammo, cooldown and armor? Also for all those wikid buttons and screens have use used doodads? Or are you just using some awesome method I know nothing of..? xD No need for good luck, this project is too awesome.
