THE WOLF MAN

Map description:

Singleplayer third-person camera classic horror map.
The goal of the map is simply to find and kill the werewolf (in his human form during the day, or in his wolf form during the night) without being killed and trying to save the village's citizens (if too many of them are dead, you've lost even if you're still alive).
To kill the werewolf more easily you have to explore the map to find somewhere some silver bullets.

You should write some information in the quest log about the chat system. It took me a minute to figure out I had to use the arrows for choosing a question (right arrow I mean). It would be nice to be able to ask all questions one after the other...

1. Instead of Esercito 1, Force 1?
2. So, is it for 1 or 2 players?
3. Newly imported icons have no DISBTNs. They look green on pause/F10 (silver bullets included). Learn about icons:
Button Manager v1.8.2
BLP Lab v0.5.0
Complete Icon Tutorial - All About Icons
How to Make an Icon
4. The wolfman always goes in the same place so you know where he is every time.
5. He doesn't attack you if he is ordered to go back after killing a civilian.
6. The Molotov ability doesn't say what it does. WERTY hotkeys would be better for ease of play.
7. Because you're using another unit for inbuilding scenes rather than the same, if you have the unit outside on CTRL+1 and you order it to move in the house it will alone go somewhere trying to find the house's actual map zone. I suggest using the same unit or at least pausing the one outside while you're inside...
8. How are you supposed to find the human form. No one is telling you anything...
9. Camera shifts are annoying inside buildings and near map edges.
10. There are other two lesser wolfmen and their morp duration is not the whole night.
11. First Aid and Molotov change places after a game loads.
12. So, I somehow gained level 8 killing the smaller werewolves (was gaining XP for each shot) then bought the bullets and killed the bigger one who isn't smart as he runs back and forth like crazy and frankly weak.
13. What's the role of the bar? No one tells you anything there.
14. Life bars on will show where the wolf is coming from is facing the right direction.

All in all, it's nice but it needs to feel like a detective case. You can kill people without anyone asking questions. The wolfman is weak and always comes from the same place.

Awaiting Update. Needs more work and polish.

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.

It would be nice to be able to ask all questions one after the other without finishing the conversation after one of them. You also have to get out of the region where the civillian is and get back to use the talk ability again.

It's an improvement,
Approved.

Very interesting map, have you considered making a Chinese version, if possible, can I Chinese culture this map?
