Mini-Mapping Contests: The Drums in the Dungeon

[HammerFist132]

@matija
sry cannot test it today, but will do it soonest possible.

About my wip today i will may add it.
Has one new spell, new combinations. And most of all first phase with last boss, many changis about systems, bosses spells damage, etc. Some spells willl require bigger level to be used. Will add some kind of survive. Btw phase with last boss is just beggining, I have a lot to do with my terrain.

 

[rulerofiron99]

MaTiJa97, you should save different versions of your map.

EDIT: Melee combat is looking good.

Ranged aiming is bad; you should nudge the camera left/right on a key press to fine-tune your aiming. Arrow key delay means that you have to hold the key for at least half a second, and at the point that it finally moves, it's gone too far.

 

[TheWhiteWolf]

Fun fact: one of creeps in my map looks exactly like Hammer's avatar

EDIT: Full controls.
Use F1, F2, F3, F4 before or after pressing F4 to use different skills. Get the hang of controls first, then use ESC to spawn skeletons in the middle of the map. THEY WILL ENGAGE YOU IF YOU GET NEAR!!! If you die, feel free to restart the map.

 

[HammerFist132]

Dont do that xD dont do that. My main boss is in my avatar xD. Lord Marrowgar forever.

@matija

Looks cool.
Hope you make it work well.

 

[TheWhiteWolf]

@Hammer: Sorry, bro :/ it's kinda like it, but with changed textures.. to be honest, I guess aesthetics (eye candy/the looks) will be the main thing in my map, since I've only got 4 different creep types
@Kingz: thanks bro

 

[HappyTauren]

Out of this, I do not feel like finishing stuff.

 

[Drunken_Jackal]

Same here. Impossible for me to finish mine in 2 weeks time.
Too much revisions 'n stuff.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Oh, come on guys. I'll start doing my entry tomorrow and I've great plans. I'm gonna finish my entry within 2 weeks and it will be awesome. Just like in the last contest, 3 boss phases, dungeon theme, boss run. Takes about one to two weeks. Peace of cake.

This is true bravery.

 

[HappyTauren]

And pride.

 

[Da Fist]

Ah, 10 days left! May the Drums in the Dungeon fill your ears and inspire you. The sound of the echoes motivate you. And the may the beat of the drum guide you. Good luck contestants!

 

[Aeroblyctos]

These are the bosses:

And one model from the Russian site. Some kind of Bone Dragon.

I'll almost completely focus on the boss fights, meaning terrain and all the extra stuff won't be such a high quality. The boss fight will be used in a way or another in The Chose Ones campaign. So, in other words I kill two birds with one stone. Oh, I just love that.

 

[xHalfDeadx]

I'm out. Been slacking for the past couple of weeks to work on pointless "school work." Pfft. Anyways it was fun while it lasted!

 

[Kingz]

I am bailing out also.

Got Diablo 3 yesterday and school has been moved to start one week earlier, aka this monday.

Lost motivation to work on the map with Diablo 3 anyway.

 

[rulerofiron99]

Lame :/

For what it's worth, I'm still in.

 

[baassee]

A winner never quits, a quitter never wins.

 

[Drunken_Jackal]

Tell that to life. Scumbag life.

See many quitters. Im still working on my map though, see if it can be submitted at the maps section.

 

[SA Dashie]

I still haven't bailed out yet, although for the past week I've done near to no progress on my entry. Pity as for if I could of actually possibly had as much time as I usually spend on my entries it would be so much more complete. This meaning my map would be playable but mostly a beta. :\

Note that I like aiming for quality over quantity as this map will be continued after the contest. I make maps even in contests for the joy more than to win really.

 

[Kingz]

I am just weighing my options and playing Diablo 3 atm is much more fun to me.

I joined to have fun and i see no purpose in continuing if i won't have fun making the map =\

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Here's my progress so far:

Terrain: done
Player's heroes: 40%
Boss 1: 10%
Boss 2: 10%
Boss 3: 5%
Boss 4: 2%

Just wait till you reach the end-game, oh wait Diablo 3 End-game?

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Diablo 3 end game is just like Diablo 3 beginning game. Hey, same places over and over again! Just different numbers, hip hip hurray.

 

[Kingz]

Already in inferno, act 1, monk.
Still loving it.

I am a hardcore diablo 2 fan, spent hours on boss runs and loot hunt so i don't mind the fact it repeats itself.

Edit:

Can't wait for monster power so i can set the player dificult to full pt for more drops

 

[rulerofiron99]

AI Progress:
Cleric - 80%
Mage - 70%
Sharpshooter - 15%
Guard - 0%

I'll call my AI "done" when I can complete the game in Casual difficulty mode with one hand tied behind my back.

As I remember, your AI was already good enough once your heroes were possessed, which means they were very good at killing once they turned against you

 

[HammerFist132]

okey tomorrow i should add one more wip from me

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Here's my progress now:

Terrain: done
Player's heroes: done
Boss 1: 10%
Boss 2: 10%
Boss 3: 10%
Boss 4: 2%

 

[Omnom18]

I think I'll be dropping out. My map just lost the "magic" to it for me, really.

 

[TheWhiteWolf]

I will upload some more WIP by monday. Anyway, I was wondering if my map is big enough. There is a solid big starting room where you will spend a few minutes, mostly for tutorial; then, some halls and room, secret passages and stuff, which will take about 10-15 minutes. And then 5 more minutes of pure awesomeness produced by the boss-fight. Big enough?

Well it is a "mini"-mapping contest, so that sounds fine. In fact for this contest I think people would probably prefer the "short and sweet" dungeons to longer, grindy affairs.

I should probably finish my dungeon after I finalise this boss.

 

[PROXY]

I can't finish too, new school's keeping me busy. Might include that dungeon in my map though.

 

[HappyTauren]

If I am crazy enough, I might create something anew and finish it in 7 days, all in gui, just fun, no bullshit.

 

[HammerFist132]

I will maybe drop, because of low time left, school traps, maps size is now 192x192 and not like empty space everything is filled well, but so much cinematics, and even more they should me skippeable, make prison, phases and for next two bosses, last boss many custom spells, phases, adding custom music fixing bugs, balancing, items, bla bla bla bla bla. My brain will excplode

Why make such a big project if there's no time?

 

[HammerFist132]

For fun maybe, at least it was until now, maybe I will make it shorter or at least make next cinematics unable to be skipped.

 

[rulerofiron99]

Just make the last boss you finished a bit more interesting, polish everything, and you're done.

 

[TheWhiteWolf]

Creeps are 50% done, still need to finish Abomination and Wyrm. Finished starting area. All feedback is very welcome.

 

[HammerFist132]

Here is one. I like ur job so far, but get confused how to transfort to the tiger, worked only once and that was pure luck.
Btw I would like to entire terrain be like at start, into the walls, if u know what i mean

 

[TheWhiteWolf]

I understand, thanks. About the tiger... Start channeling (F4) and then press F4 again. In the next version: Wyrm, improved Abomination, some more terrain and mana implemented.

EDIT: Added some more terrain, implemented mana, fixed jumping and movement so you can't jump trough walls anymore. Will post a new WIP tomorrow, after I finish creep upgrades.

 

[Kino]

Another screen

 

[HammerFist132]

@Kino
What is that picture? I think map of traps or something like that?

Ohers:
Who is in this contest so far:
Me, Matija97, I think Kino and maybe Aeroblactos, but what is with tickles, happytaures and the others?

 

[TheWhiteWolf]

Some more WIP from me. More terrain, mana and bug fixes.

Ignore me completely D:

 

[Drunken_Jackal]

I believed your in the others category

 

[HammerFist132]

@rulerofirom
xD sry for that.

God damn now I am in the other category, why because my mother had reason keep me away from pc in the next two days, god damn it,
Is there any chancis to this contest be longer for just few days.

 

[HappyTauren]

If there are many people who need just a bit of time to complete by the time the deadline is met, we will discuss that. I mean, it is a mini contest, right, but modern wc3 mapping still takes a lot of time and effort, and instead of having half-assed maps, we could actually extend this a bit and get better quality maps.

 

[rulerofiron99]

+1 for extending the deadline. I can only work on it tonight and tomorrow night - I'll be too busy the whole weekend.

 

[HammerFist132]

+1 for more time. Only reason, I coulnd't stfu and resul, go to ur room, no computer for 2 days xD. I need to be hidden with my mobile to write this xD.

 

[HammerFist132]

Sry for double posting.
Here is one more wip from me with many balances, first phase of the main boss and start area in the prison, added items, new hero spells.
I would rly like feedbacks www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/pastebin.php?id=yof461
