Recruitment Searching for: A Texturer for skins (also tile sets) and icons. A Modeler for some model editing or creating.

Project Leader: Na_Dann_Ma_GoGo Terrain: Syltman (and co-manager for a lot other stuff) Modeling: None / Hiring Status: Release Build 1.0 This project started about a year ago during winter when I decided to finally get my hands on a Diablo III map. About 2 Month ago Syltman joined the 'team' to help out with the terrain and he's given tons of other suggestions already. This map shall concentrate on a fast paced Hack'n'Slash gameplay that fits the Diablo universe. Notes: Please take this map as an other alternative to CloudWolfs map and not a challenger. It differs a lot from that one anyways Now I'll try to answer probably upcoming questions: Will there be a monk? We may add a monk later on, however I'm not really confident with the model by Taylor because the animations look awkward and it's look differs quite a lot from the normal Wc3 units. Will you add your own paths or is this just a rebuild from the Gameplay Trailer? We first try to achieve a terrain resembling the trailer and when done with that there definitely will be other routes and more stuff to explore. Will you add additional abilities to the heroes? Perhaps, in future more will be added. Right now the 3 heroes got 5 Skills each which allow for a lot replayability. Will there be an Item System similar to Diablo III Warcraft? No. In my opinion a map like this doesn't need something complicated as what D3 Wc3 currently has. The system in this map shall ease the picking up etc. I think an extra UI is just overkill for this.

[Narrat0r]

I hope it turns out good, but don't get big wishes, because there is another epic Diablo 3 map.

 

[Na_Dann_Ma_GoGo]

Well I know about this as well as I know about the Wc3c Diablo III map which will be overwhelming if ever released. Yet you can take my map as another choice of variety, especially since it plays different.

Edit:
Changed the test map, you better download the new version. Again, it is just a map to show off some abilities, some creeps and most important the fast paced hack'n'slash

Edit2: Seems like I can introduce the new Terrainer 'Syltman'

 

[syltman]

Yay I'm in the team now!

 

[Goffterdom]

Sorry but terrain looks like a bad replica of Wc3DiabloIII...
I played with the wizard and unless thousand pounder has magic immunity I think the red laser dont deal damages.

 

[Na_Dann_Ma_GoGo]

Terrain isn't done at all at that test map (terrainer just approached (after that testmap)) and disintegrate should deal damage. Did you click on the TP when you had it activated? Or play around with the angle. It may look like you hit him but actually don't because the beam has it own height and the isometric view does his part.

Whatever, just a preview, no beta status yet

 

[I)eadnerzhul]

Dann, I've tested the previous version of your map (still have it, too) and I think you should really work on it, because I seriously enjoyed playing the test map. VERY fun.

 

[Craka_J]

Shouldn't this be in Project Recruitment?

 

[Na_Dann_Ma_GoGo]

Huge update! Check the first post and goddamn, try out the demo map!

 

[syltman]

Wheee, the demo's out!

 

[X-OMG-X]

Your map will never be 'good' in people's eyes, because of the very popular Diablo III map by Cloudwolf. Anyways, i wish you good luck, cuz you will need it

 

[Na_Dann_Ma_GoGo]

I dunno. I downloaded and tested it again and it works flawless. At least for Single Player there should be no issue.
You got the newest patch?

 

[syltman]

why don't the map work for me? all i see in game is green and black blocks.

The file got corrupt perhaps, try dling it again.

 

[Vengeancekael]

You know, the second video you posted in the description is "meaningless", because you just set the attack type to "artillery", there is no triggering, it's just blizzard's artillery system

 

[CloudWolf]

wow :O Those videos look incredible! Especially the knockback when you kill those monsters They even slow down for the time shield xD It looks incredibly well made

Just wanted to let you guys know, your quite welcome to export anything you need from D3W I'll send you an unprotected version if your interested

 

[Sheephunter]

The time buble realy effects evrything, + when some creeps dies of some spells the corps realy flys... SO AWSUME!

Edit
Just1 thing, The camera buggs totaly after 1 min.
Fix it so I can see anthing
otherwise great

 

[Na_Dann_Ma_GoGo]

Woah, thanks for the feedback all. Videos seem to work

@ CloudWolf Thanks for the offer man, I may come back to this. ^^

@ Sheephunter I'll release an updated demo soon. I'm not sure about the camera bugging. It 'may' have to do with with low performance computers whose FPS become too low. It then messes up. But i'll see about it.

Edit: I tested the map on my older PC now and it's running with about 40fps mostly. That's of course still playable. I suggest using /fps to show the frames per second and if they drop below 20 or so it possibly messes up. Which has to do with the camera trigger. But I already reworked it a bit and we'll see in the next demo version
I'm trying to increase performance everywhere possible, may it be terrain or triggers since I hope it will be playable smooth on many systems.

You know, the second video you posted in the description is "meaningless", because you just set the attack type to "artillery", there is no triggering, it's just blizzard's artillery system

That's wrong. The projectiles are all triggered and work differently than blizzards projectiles when used with the "artillery" setting.

-Blizzards artillery projectiles always fly towards the position the unit is running to (which may be good or bad, depending on your personal AI preferences)
-they always land on the feed (ground) and aren't targeted on the chest for example
-they deal aoe splash damage which mine don't
-they can't stop mid air when they actually hit an enemy at that time (though not entirely sure about this)
-they always have an arc and cannot fly straight (and the artillery line stuff or how it is called has similar issues that I already mentioned here)
-they cannot be slowed down like shown with the time bubble by the wizard

 

[cornonthecob]

Spells look nice in the video but i couldnt really see them in-game. Everytime i move the camera shakes like theres an earthquake. D:

 

[Na_Dann_Ma_GoGo]

Hmm I remove the demo for now and add a new one later today or tomorrow as it seems a lot have problems with it.

 

[Sheephunter]

Fixed the demo yet? I wana play

 

[Catch_ya]

first when i saw this map i throught like: hm another d3 map, i think this project will die.. but then when i see your projectile system, backnocking corpses, slow missile bubble then i think: a coder who knows what he is doing

Btw is this coded in jass/vjass ? if so do you use parabola function.. if not then use it is it ok if i make a corpse knockback system similiar to urs ? i dont steal urs ( i havent even downloaded it yet ) i just think that it is an amazing idea! keep up the good work and dont give up

 

[Na_Dann_Ma_GoGo]

Uhm the updated demo will come out tomorrow.

@ Catch_ya
It is all coded in vJASS however I don't really do super complicated stuff to be honest. I'm not comparable to many other coders and my physics are kept on a basic level.

If you want a knockback with a parabola I suggest you simply use phsysics.
For a leap you can use this to determine the height s= Vo*t+(0.5a)t² for example. I got them out of school-book for formulas.

The map is kinda protected by the way, so you won't be able to get s.th. from there.

Edit: On a last note, you won't see that strong physics at the start of the map as you aren't strong at the beginning. The knockback that's applied on the spells grows with your damage and thus your level / items. For the trailer I just cheated a bit

 

[Catch_ya]

well since i dont have such math yet i dont know what Vo / t / a is could you explain me it to me -.-? i also have a math formular book but it dont think it contains such stuff..

so your formulars are based on the damage aha

 

[RaiN.]

library ParabolaZ

    function ParabolaZ takes real y0, real y1, real d, real x, real h returns real
        local real H = RMaxBJ(y0,y1)+h
        local real A = (2*(y0+y1)-4*H)/(d*d)
        local real B = (y1-y0-A*d*d)/d
        return A*x*x + B*x + y0
    endfunction

endlibrary

y0 = start Z
y1 = end Z
d = Max Distance
x = Current Distance
h = Arc(The bigger this value, the bigger the Arc is)

 

[Catch_ya]

thanks

 

[Na_Dann_Ma_GoGo]

Mehh screw this. I wanted to test the demo with Syltman before releasing it but as he doesn't respond to me I'm jut gonna add it to the first post again.

If you have issues regarding the camera please use the command /fps to show your frames per second so I know whether that could be the issue.

Note: This demo will not include the wizards time bubble spell, as I gotta keep some cool stuff 'til release or beta

 

[X-OMG-X]

Wow just checked out your project again. I have to say, you have really improved the stuff. The spells and events is just amazing. I love the effects with the units falling down.
One of the only things this map really needs is some better terrain. A few parts of the terrain looks cool, but the cliffs and the tiles really kills it all. Your terrain experience is nice, you just need to work with imported cliff texture and custom tiles too. I hope to see more from you, this is really amazing. Maybe you someday could have Cloudwolf to learn from you

 

[Na_Dann_Ma_GoGo]

Thanks for the feedback, well currently Syltman is doing the terrain and I just slightly adjust some stuff and take care about pathing. As he's getting better and we maybe get some textures and stuff from CloudWolf the terrain will improve

 

[Deolrin]

You should SERIOUSLY consider working for CloudWolf's map, if he agrees. You skills with those physics engine and other various stuff, plus CloudWolf's team would just be pure win.

 

[Na_Dann_Ma_GoGo]

It is not possible to work on his map because it has to be ENTIRELY redone and I sure have a different opinions on what I want and what not.
Everything had to be redone, and I mean everything. Imports / Object Editor / Terrain (too laggy/too many destructables instead of only doodads I guess) / no Monk (as the current model doesn't fit and has many issues) and well of course all scripts, which would be the easier part as I could simple copy all of them.

But as you see there's no real point on working on their map. Rather a terrain overhaul in my project would be appreciated. So I'd need to work with CloudWolf who could cooperate with Syltman on the terrain and... well I don't really need someone else of their team, as I do the coding stuff all on my own. I wanna note though, that I'm just decent at vJASS and these physics are actually quite easy once you get into it (however it took me forever to get where I'm now).

But I doubt CloudWolf would leave his team and join me and he's got a second project going on anyways.

Texturer/Modeler are always appreciated btw

With no texturer or modeler I can't do much more. If CW allows us to use the tiles and cliffs they have in D3W then it will be alot better.

 

[BlazeBird]

i like your map...they have cool systems...^^
...but the misslesystem is not so good...i hope you make a better system..
and the terrain is not so good its so naked...more doodads and detailed working...

 

[X-OMG-X]

Isnt the missile system good?
It makes the whole map much more cool. And realistic.

 

[BlazeBird]

yes...its better as a normal system...^^
...and its good...and realistic
but i think they can make a better...
...I do not knows how...but i hope...^^

 

[Paladon]

Dude, i totally love that map already. Your trailer looks awesome.

 

[syltman]

yes...its better as a normal system...^^
...and its good...and realistic
but i think they can make a better...
...I do not knows how...but i hope...^^

how can we (Na_Dann_Ma_GoGo) improve it?

 

[BlazeBird]

at first i think the arrows must fly in a line and not in a bend...^^
...then i think the arrows are slowlyer and make more other enemys the can/musst block you...so you cant run away from the arrows...^^
...its my idea...^^
but your system is anyway good...^^

That has actually little to do with the projectile system. Why shouldn't there be curved lines (I btw. got straight ones as well, currently on the summoner)? It imo looks better when archer shoot in a more realistic way.
And more enemies blocking so that the projectiles more often hit... uhm. Why? The sense of the customized projectiles is that they're avoidable. If you don't concentrate on avoiding them they will hit you more frequently and if you're surrounded by ghouls you have no chance to avoid em by just walking.
I don't really get the point there ;P

 

[NearbyHermit]

The terrain is a bit like Warcraft Diablo III,but it's turned around!

That's cool,and it looks gloomy and terrifying!

Awesome,I can see potential

 

[BlazeBird]

the barbarian can jumo and the wizard blink...so they can "walk" in any way...
...but ok...it was only a idea...^^

 

[NearbyHermit]

It would lead to reaching unreachable corners!

 

[Na_Dann_Ma_GoGo]

Blaze bird please use less "..." in your posts. And actually I ment currently the heroes can get surrounded and unless they free themselves (obviously blink / leap or by killing units) they will be hit.

@ Hermit
I took well care of that not happening!

 

[KYTON]

Really nice alternate to DIIIW . The phisics is just....amazing. If possible consider adding skill runes. ^_^

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ouYP1zGfd0s

 

[Na_Dann_Ma_GoGo]

Adding the Diablo 3 rune system would require to recode large parts of the skills multiple times and that's quite time consuming and yeah, I'm not completely averse to it but it has a very low priority

 

[KYTON]

Well its just something you may consider in the future that Diablo III Warcraft didn't add yet....maybe only cause the "first" skill to be effected.....on the other hand keep up the great work. I'll look forward to future versions. If you need ideas for epic boss battles feel free to ask.

 

[zolga]

very nice physics and even thogh i thought this will fail it has future

 

[NearbyHermit]

@ Hermit

First rule in maps that use blink and have a superior terrain pattern !

But you did a great job,props

 

[Adiktuz]

looks good, just downloaded..... anyways your sig looks good too.

 

[Sheephunter]

Any news?

 

[Oziris]

This project looks really interesting and good. If you want i can make the exact terrain as in Diablo III into your map. I'm a higher exp. terrainer. My last work was long ago, http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/terrain-board-267/steampunk-148190/
Hope i get a response.
