Pandaren RPG

[Celaquil]

Shit didnt see this before like... now. Looks good, judging from the details and shit, and thats not even mentioning that I love pandaren

 

[Sheephunter]

Still No SS on the Terrain... *ROAAAAARRRR*

 

[FrIkY]

I'll ad some terrain pictures now. ^^

 

[AIagremm]

Yay!

 

[FrIkY]

Update!
- terrain pictures added
- "Things to be done" list added

Whole this time, I was just being busy with updating the thread, and now I'll get back to work. Stay tuned! ^^'

 

[Sheephunter]

Im SOOO gonna play this map!

 

[AIagremm]

Awesome dude! I like what you did with gnoll hut. Good use of imported pine model, looks great. I dont like the second boss, because of his gold. I wonder if he drops a gem... BTW, your marketplace skin looks awesome, but your Barrwo Den needs work. Perhaps you can replace those panda heads on it with something that looks like the panda heads on Illidans blades?

 

[Sheephunter]

btw if you realy need any help whit the Terrain, I can help you
And here is an good interface = http://www.wc3c.net/showthread.php?t=94788
You mabye know about them Hehe.

 

[AIagremm]

Yeah, the Panda interface is awesome. Used it in my never released pandaren race.

I'll see what I can do.

I know about that, already got it! ^^ The interface is actually done, but there are few minor stuff that need s to be done. Like, hero level bar, colored texts and few other small stuff. No, I don't really need help with terrain, but thanks for the offer!

 

[AIagremm]

BTW, I wonder if you will skin the murloc huts to make them look more bamboo and panda-ish.

 

[FrIkY]

Great idea, Alagremm! I haven't thought of that one before, I'm sure it will be useful.

 

[AIagremm]

I always used murloc huts and goblin merchant for pandaren. They look bamboish and stuff. Hm. Goblin Merchant. Now here's an idea. A bamboo pandaren town hall(skinned goblin merchant), with a pandaren child(skinned goblin)running when it works.

I like what you did with watch tower and gnoll hut.

 

[dansaDisco]

If you need help with making the abilities (triggers and all that), I can probably give you a hand if you can live with them being GUI.

 

[Just_Spectating]

the only thing that bothers me is the tileset.


and the fact that pandas are supposed to be pretty big, and that acolyte panda is extreemly skinny.

What exactly bothers you with tileset? Oh, and I don't think that every Pandaren necessarily has to be big. Btw, those acolyte male villagers represent older villagers. So, since they're old, they're not that big and strong anymore. :/

GUI, no problem, but I don't need any abilities right now. I'll call you when I need some, thanks! ^^

Yeah, that's a pretty neat idea.

 

[Sunchips]

What's the size of your map? (not in mb i mean like 190x190 or 200x200)

 

[Just_Spectating]

i just dont think lordaeron summer is an epic enough tileset

you should use a custom one

(and i just think skinny bears look weird: especially with those fat heads)

 

[AIagremm]

Actually it is unknown what trees grow in Pandaria(except bamboo).
So this tileset actually suits really well. Maybe too little bamboo, but everythihng else is awesome.

Yeah, that's a pretty neat idea.

Thanks! ^^ Im glad you like it.

 

[Just_Spectating]

it should look more japanese

 

[AIagremm]

Chinese, dude. Pandaren are chinese.
And what tileset is more Chinese? Kinda dont know any asian tilesets.

 

[Just_Spectating]

there are pandas in japan also..

and what. Chinese warriors?

cmon japanese is way cooler XP

 

[AIagremm]

Yeah, and pandaren were japanese first but then China said that they are their natural place of life, and that only in Chine there are free pandas and so on. Chinese pandaren actually look better, Id say, but Chinese obsession with pandas bugs me. Know why pandaren arent a playable race or even NPCs in WoW? Because China says that you cant kill Pandas. Idiots. There are thousands of games where pandas fight, kill and die! And they just had to say it to Warcraft. perhaps they think that after being defeated by a pandaren in WoW a player will go and kill real pandas?

I found some awesome bamboo models not long ago, so I'll make sure there's enough bamboo in my map!

What's the size of your map? (not in mb i mean like 190x190 or 200x200)

It's 256x256 right now, but I was hoping to increase it with WEU.

And about your Chinese-Japanese disscusion, I say Pandarens are neither, or both. Yes, bamboo and pandas are mainly in china, but the buildings, style of living and fighting are japanese. And to be honest, I jove Japan and it is my dream to visit it. But not because of their crazyness and technology, but because of their history, culture and tradition. Oh, if Pandarens ever show up in WoW as playable race, I'm buying WoW for sure! ^^'

 

[AIagremm]

I just explained why they never will.
There will be glineas worgen and goblins in the next expansion.

Yeah, Japan's history is cool. And yes Pandaren are some sort of mix, with some elements which were created by blizzard.

 

[FrIkY]

I know about Cataclysm, I'm just saying if they ever apper, and chances for that are 0.0000885430019%. :/ Ok, no more off-topicness, right now I'm working on Warrior's abilities.

 

[AIagremm]

Indeed. Good luck on that! ^^

 

[Kricz]

Löl, how funny
Sounds nice, I love these Panda Models

 

[Goldendemon]

hm.. friky i allways thought you are a great terrainer but your rpg terrain looks meeh :<

I prefer village fall or ashenvale would fit a lot more that lords summer or village normal
if you make a great terrain that this would be .... fuckin amazing

 

[dansaDisco]

all right ^^

Just get in touch with me if you need anything :3

Thanks, I think I'm gonna switch to Village fall. ^^

Update!
- Warrior's abilities added

Shadowmancer is next!

 

[AIagremm]

Hm. I just had a crazy idea. Village Fall with some of Ashenvale and Village(Normal) tilesets and doodads.

 

[Sheephunter]

Why not Make an instance?

 

[Just_Spectating]

Hm. I just had a crazy idea. Village Fall with some of Ashenvale and Village(Normal) tilesets and doodads.

oh, now you agree with him.

 

[AIagremm]

Well, I just think that Fall is good for some parts of the map, and Summer is good for other. Ashenvale is good to add in both of them.

 

[Oziris]

The rpg sounds decent. Looking forward to playing it. Btw, are you using the panda UI ?

 

[AIagremm]

Yes he is.

 

[FrIkY]

Yes, off course! And Pandaren interface icons, too (Move, Attack, Patrol etc.).

Okay, people, I think I'm gonna go with Ashenvale, and a little bit of Village. Since my bamboo models are green, I don't know if they will fit with brown yellow orange-ish enviroment, which is Village fall, or Loarderon fall.

 

[AIagremm]

I think you can use Summer in the beginning of the map, and Fall near the end.
Like the corruption of the Legion, slowly affects the forests.

 

[FrIkY]

Mmm... I could never imagine Fall as something corrupted. What I had in mind is that I use Felwood poison and blight for corrupted area, along with dead trees and other dead-like/corrupted doodads. Oh, and... I'm still using normal WE, something tells me that I shouldn't use WEU... I don't know, I'm afraid WEU is going to bug the whole map, or what if no one except me will be able to play it... with WEU I can put more tiles, which is great, but I was unable to make the map larger, it won't go any further that 256x256 Not even with WEU Enhancer.

 

[dansaDisco]

download Jass NewGen Pack

http://www.wc3c.net/showthread.php?t=90999

it contains a lot of helpful stuff, for example some WE hacks that allows you to use up to 16 tiles, it makes you able to make the map larger, etc. It's really an awesome tool. Just remember to disable Reinventing The Craft before starting with it

 

[xxdingo93xx]

Looks like this will become some damn awesome RPG. Keep up the good work

 

[Oziris]

You have to download some files to make the Jass NewGen work. It's because of the new patch 1.24. You can try it but on some other map just to make it safe

 

[-ALPHA-]

Everything looks and sounds promising FrIkY! Your terrain looks good (though you do have some floating doodads in the Venomkiss picture - just a few seconds to fix).

Am I right to assume you'll be using this?

Good luck!

Hehe ppl ask him all the time xD
He is useting it...

 

[AIagremm]

Well, I mostly met Fall being the beginning of the corrution, where forests still fight it.
And after it is the corrupted terrain.

 

[Oziris]

Why not import some custom trees, they aren't big at all 4-100kb? it will be better then the blizzard ones

 

[AIagremm]

He did. Didnt you see the terrain screens?

 

[Oziris]

Yea i saw T_T what i meant was use some better trees, to make it look more like fallen. It looks really happy. Example: at Venomkiss boss trees are different then the trees in the first 3 pictures but they still don't look so good. You need more scarier then that. Oh and btw Blizzard cliff+flat terrain imba fail. -.- UTM has some nice trees that you could use!

 

[FrIkY]

Oziris, I know about UTM and all the nice trees. I'm using Blizzard cliffs to make a much easier "Line of sight blocker", instead of using "Line of sight blocker" doodads... and I don't know why people shit so much about those cliffs, I don't see what's so horrible about them...

And people, please, stop talking about the terrain, I know it's crappy but I am going to change it and make it look better, don't worry! It's not like it's the most important thing about a map, would you rather play some map with awesome gameplay but bad terrain, or bad gameplay with awesome terrain? (but I'll try to make both gameplay and terrain awesome.)

Current progress: still working on hero abilities.
