Tiered Temple of Tides (from Heaven's Fall)

This is the Heaven's Fall custom flavor of a 3-tiered Temple of Tides. I know other people have also given their hand at a 3-tiered Naga town center, but I particularly like the Tier 3 of this one that I created. So, if I was you, I would probably import Tier 3 of this naga hall onto somebody else's Naga hall, so that you had maximized levels of awesome at each tier of your Temple of Tides.
I give you full permission to do that with this model, or whatever else you want really.

There are only 2 icons attached because the Tier 2 hall looks identical to the in-game Temple of Tides model, so the suggestion is to use Blizzard's Temple of Tides icon for the Tier 2 hall.

Edit: 2021-10-24: I modified my own version of this model so that the portrait would use a different camera angle a few months ago for the Heaven's Fall Warcraft Mod. It occurred to me that there are people using this model in their own projects and they might want the fix, so I uploaded the fixed version. (Specifically I was trying to make the portrait look better at Tier 1)

Works in-game, performs appropriately and is a good addition to the model section.

Err... The model shows just the first tier.. How do I make it so that I can use the 2nd or 3rd tiers? You know, since the other town halls' tiers are separate models?

Hum... maybe I'm just dumb and there's something I'm missing, but in-game I don't have the normal naga building birth animation even if it shows in the editor :

you know the circle+pool that's present for the 2 others in the screenshot

I don't know if it's because of the model or an editor problem :huh: (I'm using 1.27)
Do I need to change something in the object editor ?
 
if it's because of the model
I think it's because of the model. When I lowered it, the birth link node probably also got lowered into the ground. If you prefer a more normal naga birth, I believe you should be able to raise that birth link node back into its original position.
 
you mean with a modeling software ?
yeah. I made one you can use, here you go:
 
Ok. I updated the bundle with the change you're asking about.

For me, moving the node to be center instead of underground is this simple two clicks thing. I aspire to believe some day it will be the same for you.

But I'm not here to waste your time, I guess, I just think that it sometimes takes longer to chat about this kind of thing on a forum than to actually do it. Anyway, feel free to download the modified version now if you don't want to deal with it. (It's attached to the bundle, now named "Default Birth").

Is a good addition but the pearl spheres hide in the other geosets:

Tried to fixed it but understood that there had to be one more geoset with the pearls and more billboarded bones for them in the 2nd and 3rd tiers as they have another height, so you have to play with geoset invisibility in Magos or animate the bones in each sequence and I'm too lazy for this ><

can you help me with some draenei birth animations?
I am capable of it but lazy, especially when it's not the weekend and the weekend is about to end. Maybe you could DM me or something, seems off topic here.


(The 1st updated model has a different portrait camera, and the second one has a different birth animation)

ok I understand your conditions and you're right it would be better to send you a private message, although I'm not sure how to do that.
On the other hand, I want to mention that I tried the new model that you uploaded on my map and it does not load the birth animation of level 1 of the base, then for the level 2 and 3 updates it works correctly. I don't know if you could review that on your part to confirm that it is not an error that only happens to me
 
does not load the birth animation of level 1 of the base
Don't use Patch 1.29, maybe? What patch are you on? Patch 1.29 makes custom model birth animations not work for Naga, even though the ingame ones would still work. The issue was fixed in 1.30-1.31.

I use 1.27 and it doesn't load only the birth animation after all it's fine, I also want to mention that the first version you uploaded from the temple of the tides if the birth animation appears only something strange like someone else here had already done it I mention it, the problem is with the new model you uploaded, I don't know if anything can be done about it because I would really like to have the base of the Nagas with the default birth animations.
 
so I'll use the old one
We should have technology information spread around so that we don't have to resort to giving up on things without discerning causes.

I believe I fixed your issue and others in a newer version of the model called "LATEST". If I'm correct and everything is fixed on that version, I'll delete the others at some point.

Also fixed this on the version named "LATEST", I believe. Feel free to check it.

It's nice to see that you can find time to fix these issues 🙌

I checked in game, the animation works on the new TieredTempleofTides.mdx and the pearls aren't hidden anymore :thumbs_up:

I understand your point of view but I'm sure learning how models work would take many hours and and I don't really need it : if it's to change little details like this I don't care that much, and if it's more than details Iwould have to know how to model myself - also now everyone can have the fixed version :wink:
