Shadows of the Tides (RPG)

The Nightmare Book · Dec 6, 2021

Strange, but I can't move.
A/D buttons works, hero turns left/right, but "W" button doesn't work for me.

EDIT: Also holding right mouse button doesn't moved my hero.

I tested the RPG together with 2 other people, the controls worked but unfortunately it is far from perfect. rpg control in warcraft3 is complicated, i have tried to improve it for a long time. in rare cases the hero starts to rotate, the W button then stopped working, pressing A or D once everything worked again. Moving with the right mouse button pressed only works with deselected heroes (unfortunately I had to deactivate it)

important:
[Force 2 Human] (Difficulty -> Add Computer) is not a playable hero and only to adjust the difficulty

Hm... Did matter that map is originaly made on deutsch(I think <D)? Maybe "W" button can't be triggered on non-deutsch keyboard?
I'll try again, anyway.

Unfortunately, I don't have an English keyboard to test at home at the moment. xD
WAD should work, only the hotkeys Y and Z could be swapped (?).

Hm. I tried again on old and new version - I moved!
But after I named my hero (I watched intro and nothing told me that I need to name my hero, but If I skip - I saw that message).
Overall I feel a Gothic presence in map - same oriented map, "strange" movement and unusual (for me) attack button. Also amnesia, recovered after shipwreck…
Is this a Risen?

And what I can tell about map:

~~So right or left click for "Interact" ability? I tried to use right click - seems nothing happens. But if I use left mouse button - hero interacts~~ Ignore that, I dumb ;D;
I can walk through some buildings in old miners city;
And why I have completed quests in questlog?
Suicidal timberweed >_>;

Although I didn't played too much, I felt it.
But I think that turning off automatic camera rotation is meaningless, imo.
Anyway, good map!

Thanks for the feedback, I fixed it.
Many years ago i played Gothic a lot, that will be the reason.

Completed quests can be found when you have inserted the computer (Easy or Normal) into Force 2.
In rare cases the automatic camera annoyed me, so I wanted a manual one. but yes that is very optional

A really nice map that has its gameplay impeded by the way the camera works in that it causes issues with targeting, knowing where you are on the map and what direction you go too and creates issues with reading what NPCs say.

A credits list in the map description with the names of the authors whose resources you've used is mandatory. That includes models, skins, icons, custom spells, systems. Also, sounds, music and everything outside this site.
This helps you with the models, skins and icons from Hiveworkshop: Resources in use by Shadows of the Tides (RPG)

Awaiting Update.

ADDITIONAL NECESSARY INFORMATION

A credits list in the map thread description is required where the names of the resource (models, skins, icons, spells, sound etc.) authors are mentioned along with the specific resource. It would be a luxury to have links leading to the used resources. Credits in the Quest Log would be appreciated too.
A detailed changelog in the first post would be helpful to reviewers and notify fans about the newest implementations to your map.
Map thread tags are important. Please use those that fit and not more or none.

Thank you for your feedback. I have linked the credits here to the best of my knowledge.

Changes made,
Approved.

Cool Looking map- NEEDS A MUCH BETTER DESCRIPTION here on the website, or perhaps in the QUEST Journal, as death is permanent ( Mabye idk my other player died and quit or its permanent) Learning a talent did nothing. Just loaded playing now. All ican say for now is more Information on mechanics sucha s learnin talents if death is permanent etc. would be greatly appreciated along with translation of some things i see ( German?)

Terogal · Apr 6, 2022

Thanks for the reply!
Yes, you are definitely right, the beginning is difficult and I described that badly. If the hero dies, the game will be over for that player if the graveyard quest has not been unlocked or you start the game without quest progress -> Computer Difficult (Easy or Normal). This graveyard quest in the first area is a bit difficulty. Level up to level 3 and take a few items as a backup, the quest should be doable.

I translated the map from German to English a few months ago using google translator. Please write where there are errors in the translation.
And I forgot to delete the german file CommandStrings.txt. Downloading version 1.10 will fix the problem.

There is only 1 talent available at the beginning and you need 1 skillpoint to skill it. There are more and more talents as the game progresses, join a faction for more talents (only teachers can learn you new abilities/talents and unlearn skilled ones).

I have update the description text on this website.

For some reason I've tried starting a game... then typed a name in chat as I was asked to... but nothing happened at all. I was permanently stuck there.

Is this map for Multiplayer only?

Terogal · Nov 8, 2023

Please note that you have to switch from force 2 difficulty to force 1 alliance of lordaeron. Than you can enter the heroes name in the chat and post with enter.
Then the game starts.
Single and multiplayer is supported.
