Harry Potter and the Battle of the Ministry

Harry Potter
and the Battle of the Ministry

I've bean working on this map for a while, but I haven't so much time to work on it. I am crazy in Harry Potter and I think it exist to few Harry Potter maps, so I decided to make one on my self. But I can't say I'm a pro map maker. ^^

This is an AoS map, you choose team; Order of the Phoenix or the Death Eaters. This map takes place on the Wizard Ministry, and I decided quite fast no not follow it at 100 %. I mean that not all heroes I've in this map isn't on the ministry at that time, like Hagrid and Fenrir Greyback.

About the Hero, I try to do so they looks as much as they are doing in the movies and books. But if you wonder why all units the attack with magic without to say something, I defend myself with that these spells are nonverbal spells.

I have recently made a floo powder network, so you can move faster around the map. So if you want to visit Weasley's Wizard Wheezes, just go to a fireplace and a dialog will appear, with all destenations.

Requests:
Cloak Request
Floo Powder Network Dialog

I'm pleased for good ideas and hints. Pllz try it and say what you think. And I know, I must work on the terrain, it isn't finnished everywhere... Not the Diagon Alley either, I will add much more shops

Edit: I removed the map, cause it where to many bugs, it will soon be here again!

Nightwish.ger · Feb 13, 2009

Looks all in all nice. The terrain could use some work but i think it isnt important in a map like this.
ah one question: for what do you use my icon?

Jack_Sparrow93 · Feb 13, 2009

Well, I ain't a master at terrains so pllz tell me if I can add something

Wait, I shall just check wich is ur icon ^^

Edit: I use that icon for Bellatrix! U can see it on the 4th picture. But has it bean deleted? I can't find it.

Viikuna · Feb 13, 2009

Good luck with this project

Yixx · Feb 13, 2009

Yixx · Feb 13, 2009

Whoops ^^,, i got a little too dark screen,,
I would like to help you, but Models, Icons and Skins are my Nemesis(es),,
I can only Trigger a little

Jack_Sparrow93 · Feb 13, 2009

To bad

But I got an IRL friend who knows a bit more than I do, so he help me with stuffs that aren't to complicate.

What the h*ll is Jass? Nvm, don't wanna learn it either xD

Yixx · Feb 13, 2009

Ok,, GL with it!
And JASS, that is what you are doing, we only call it GUI, since Blizzard made it alittle easier to script, but it actually IS what you are making,,
(When you save the map, it converts every trigger to JASS,,)

In-cred-ib-le · Feb 15, 2009

The birds just damage their target for their damage now, without any special effects/spells.
The hero says "Oppugno" whenever a bird leaves, but only once in 2 seconds.

Jack_Sparrow93 · Feb 15, 2009

Thanks a lot, it took me about 30 minutes to add it, but it took over an hour last time and I didn't succed! Thx a lot!

I really sux in triggers xD

chenlimin · Mar 2, 2009

if you need trigger help, just give me a PM, there are many out there willing to lead you a hand.

thedeathunterxx · Mar 2, 2009

: / im a tad disappointed.

this s a very good idea..but the factthat its aos makes me sad.
i think harry potter should be an RPG, since its very story based.

however i do think its a good idea and i like it alot ! keep up your progress ! and get better terrain !

The thing is that I don't like RPG maps and thought of this instead, so I started to make it. When I am finnished with some more spells, I will add a preview when they are finnished.

Please tell me what I can do to make the terrain better. I would be greatful!

water_Knight · Mar 15, 2009

I like the idea a bit and the screen shoots look epic can't w8 for you to finish your map.

M4stah · Mar 15, 2009

You might want to re-model Haary a bit though. I don't remember him being all mucled.

Zack1996 · Mar 15, 2009

Since its Order of Phoenix vs. Death Eaters, Death Eaters should, in theory, have more reinforcements.
So maybe you could make there be more Death Eaters but make them weaker than those from the Order. That is quite the case in the story of Harry Potter yes?
Since they chant stuff anyway, just use Floating Texts to display the name of the spell cast so it looks as if they chanted something. Add some magical sounds and you have a so-called Magic War thingy.
Finally, will Voldemort and Dumbledore (pardon any spelling errors, haven't read the book in a year) fight at the end of the battle? Will they apparate and use spells against each other? If not, add that

. If it is already planned, make the players able to help but make little difference as the two Wizards are too powerful to be overcome by normal Wizards.

I agree, I have searched for a better model, but cant find any1, and I dont want him to look like the other units, he has at least glasses... If u find some1, so pllz tell me!

Maybe the Death Eaters got more reinforcements, but the soon the whole Order of the Phoenix is there as well.

I have already added Floating text to the spells, and what do u mean with the sounds? Shall I record myself, when I'm saying the spells and add them? Maybe would be cool, but I dunno how much size it takes...

About Lord Voldemort and Dumbledore then, I have thought to make a movie in the start and in the end, but 2 diffrent movies in the end. So if the Death Eaters win they'll kill Dumbledore and the rest of the team, maybe catch Harry. But if the Order win, some Death Eaters flees (like in the book) and some get catched!

I hope I can upload it soon, but I have to add some more spells first, and if u look at the minimap on some of the pictures, there is quite much spaces that is just black...

Thx for comments guys!

water_Knight · Mar 31, 2009

Hmm i still can't w8 to paly it o i wish it was alredy released.

Jack_Sparrow93 · Apr 3, 2009

He he, I hope you wont be disappointed. But I found a few bugs last time I tested it, but now I've got holyday and can work more at it!

water_Knight · Apr 29, 2009

have you made any new progress???

Jack_Sparrow93 · Apr 30, 2009

Yes, I am working on the Diagon Alley, they will have to visit it to buy stuffs, then I have some bugged spells I have to work on to. I hope to release a beta test before the summer, cause its so much in school for the moment! Have you any ideas?

Vosty · May 16, 2009

I like Aos
I like Harry Potter
So this better be good, because a lot of maps based off movies or books stink.
Yet, Harry Potter is a very... bendable series and I think it will be all right.

Well, If you've ver played Dday Judgement ( it is on the hive) Uther and Archimonde (I think) come down and fight.) They can be killed, but they can also finish the game if it lasts that long. I think they should come down at like 30 min or something to decrease endless battles, cause face it, when youre lvl 9999 you don't get killed and it dont end.

jr.kilatzkyz · May 21, 2009

water_Knight · Jul 13, 2009

*Dump* i am still cruias to see this map can you tell us when it might be redy?

Dr. House · Jul 13, 2009

I got a couple of item ideas

Broomsticks: like the nimbus2000 it increases your attack and walk speed.

Chocolate frog: heals for 100 points

Owl: summons an owl that attacks your enemys for 20seconds

Death wand: The wand of the 3 brothers this wand is the strongest wand. +damage dont know how many

Hope this helps a little

im a fan of harry potter and i know much of it so if you want any help just PM me

Palaslayer · Jul 13, 2009

i will definetely check it when it is finished.

Well, if I should use broomsticks, shouldn't the unit fly then instead? And then I want a model for the broom... But it would be really cool with broomsticks.

Chocolate frog: heals for 100 points

Good Idea, I maybe shall add it. But for healing, I already have potions and spells...

Owl: summons an owl that attacks your enemys for 20seconds

You can buy owls in the Diagon Alley...

Death wand: The wand of the 3 brothers this wand is the strongest wand. +damage dont know how many

I have thought of the 3 relices of death, but if I add them, it will be later!

Thx for ideas! I will try to add a test before the premier... Shit, I will have to work a lot tomorrow ^^ But maybe I can add a test. Would be fun to get comments...

Dr. House · Jul 14, 2009

Ok well i got som more ideas i dont know if you like them but here thay are.

Dragon egg: Summons an dragon for 30seconds (like the bulgarian horntail)

High class students cloak: Provides the user with +armor (dont know how much)

I also got a shop idea and i think alot of people would love this one

Dont know how the shop is called in english but the weesley topfop shop it has rare items like a love potion that confuses your enemy who it needs to attack for example

i hope you like the new ideas

Or maybe buy dragons instead!? I want them to be summoned forever instead ^^

High class students cloak: Provides the user with +armor (dont know how much)

I have already shield cloaks and shield gloves that works like that.

i hope you like the new ideas

I have thought of that 2, and he become ally with the caster or something. This model would be great for it!

Thx for ideas!

Dr. House · Jul 14, 2009

LOL XD ye that model is nice.

Dr. House · Jul 19, 2009

Jack i test your map soon when a mate of me is online and we play it on bnet. after i played it i shall post the good and bad things about the map here

o and a sorry for the double post

Doomchanger · Jul 19, 2009

How can u protect that map? Sorry for the ask, but no one answer to me.

Viikuna · Jul 27, 2009

There is a tool called Map Optimizer, which can make your map harder to open in world editor.

Anyways, hows this project going on?

Jack_Sparrow93 · Jul 27, 2009

As fast as a trigger works for me, will I release a test version (again, cause the last one sucked). If u wanna help me, check requests on the first page

Dr. House · Jul 29, 2009

im currently learning how to model i wish i knew it already i really wana model the wesley topfop shop but i cant XD poor me

Pharaoh_ · Jul 29, 2009

Good luck, you might need custom models here, not default warcraft units, for the sake of Harry Potter, cause currently, it is just another warcraft III map indeed. Requests forum, hello, help me with Potter and the rest models, cause this is what will define the map concept, not the spells or the coding efficiency.

Dr. House · Jul 30, 2009

lol if i could i would make hogwarts as model would use 4mb space afcourse but still would be nice lol

but unfortionatly i cant

o btw jack want me to make you som icons for the game? like the hero harry potter the hero icon is harry potter. want me to make them?

water_Knight · Aug 4, 2009

oww dam i missed downloading the beta :'(

Jack_Sparrow93 · Aug 4, 2009

Well, it was nothing good, I would call it alpha... It was a huge bug with the floo powder system (it wasn't MPI) so it could only be used by one at a time, read more here: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/triggers-and-scripts-269/dialog-mpi-138017/

chilla_killa · Aug 4, 2009

So you're making a Harry Potter map, too.
I do, too. This sounds very interesting. +rep
I look forward to playing it.
The terrain is in my opinion very ugly and a bit boring.
The textures of Harry Potter and Ron don't look that good. The villager model just don't fit. It's to fat and muscular.
I'm also making a Harry Potter map (RPG) and I try to make a Harry Potter texture, too.
When it's ready, I will tell you and show it to you, maybe you will like it.
But it will take some time.

Jack_Sparrow93 · Aug 4, 2009

Well, I also hate the skins for Harry and Ron and if u have any better suggestions so pllz share

I am working on the terrain now and the screenshots are pretty old, have been to lazy to upgrade them!

water_Knight · Aug 5, 2009

Why make it work by dialogues why not just have it take you to area XXX then from there you enter a difren region with floating txt above it saying like..

Area 1
Area 2

well the area names??

TheHunterKiller · Aug 5, 2009

There could be more tile variation, but rest is awesome.

Cause its much more cooler with a dialog system and u can go whereever u wants to quickly.
