Weekend Mapping Madness #2 - Defense

[bowser499]

I'll try to complete ai in time.

 

[baassee]

Does boss AI count?

 

[Vengeancekael]

Lolno.

 

[bowser499]

Do you want to see some new mines?

 

[Foronisus]

so this is not over or???

 

[Bannar]

It was 12 AM or 12 PM?

 

[Vengeancekael]

12 PM.
You guys still have 10 hours left.

Do you want to see some new mines?

Eh sure

 

[Foronisus]

PM????? omg your kidding me

 

[Wraithling]

Everybody is working their socks off eh? Am I the only one here lazy-ing around?

A few updates:-
1. Just played a test round with my map and... GOD, MY GAMEPLAY IS SO DAMNED BORING AND PREDICTABLE!!

2. Everything else from the planning subsequent rounds to object editor stuff to terraining is just waaay behind schedule. It seems I have got to cut down on my planned material.

Will post an updated wip after my dinner. All you guys, God speed for the remaining 10 hours ;P

 

[baassee]

Gosh the core is bugging me off...

 

[PROXY]

Have no triggering done yet, too much work around the house *-*

Hopefully I'm able to do all the abilities and triggers and bosses and goals and cinematics in around 3-4 hours :3

 

[bowser499]

Ok I'll make the amount of mines equal to 11.

 

[Bugz]

Me = Lazy. Lazy = I submit for mini mapping

 

[Magtheridon96]

Hey guys, look at my creep HP formula:

Initial Level HP = 60
Next Level HP = Previous Level HP * (1 + sqrt(5)) / 2

Awesome?

 

[Bannar]

Hey guys, look at my creep HP formula:

Initial Level HP = 60
Next Level HP = Previous Level HP * (1 + sqrt(5)) / 2

Awesome?

I hope it wasn't the main aspect you have been thinking about for last few hours, was it?

 

[D a w n]

another update of my map: waves are finished, game victory/defeat conditions are finished, hero revival finished. I just have to balance the map now. Right now it was only doable with 3 lvl 10 heroes and even that was incredibly difficult

 

[PROXY]

@Don: sounds great

Finally I finished all the creeps, enemies and bosses now. (only placing ) I just can hope I'm doing the triggers and spells in time.

 

[baassee]

Seems that I will have to import spells from other users if I want to make it in time.

 

[bowser499]

(1 + sqrt(5)) / 2

This is mathematically known as Golden ratio

 

[baassee]

This is mathematically known as Golden ratio

Thought it looked familiar.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

So how many hours left?

 

[Bannar]

6 hours 35 minutes that is.

 

[Vengeancekael]

7 hours left.
edit: oh fu
btw Aero I hope you'll post a WiP soon if you've also joined this contest.

 

[bowser499]

Count The Minefield v1.0b as final version please. In MiniGame Contest #5 I'll add some AI and mines.

 

[Bannar]

I'm curious how many entries will be submited. First page shows ~17 posible but I doubt there gonna be so many. Anyways I wish everyone will the actually finish his project in time.

 

[Foronisus]

hmm i wanted to join but i lately got this... anyway ill be in other contest #5

 

[Brambleclaw]

5 hours left

Rawr

work music

:L

Gonna upload 2nd wip after hw xP

 

[Bannar]

@Brambleclaw better leave the shit music, it makes you worse each time you listen to such.
Rap got answer for every question.
Work guys till you collapse, and don't post project untill you're not proud of it.

true music

Have done major abilities, items and units. Triggers are also basically done. Sadly I can not implent things that have been planned:

What has been planned:

•Hell hounds jumping out from the lava (they stand just on the path ): )
•Traps everywhere
•Awesome abilities for the creeps (just too less time)
•Demon Souls for special attacks (I'll see if I can manage to include it)

Things that will be included hopefully:

•Thousands of differnt creeps
•Bosses
•Some items
•Potions
•Awesome terrain
•And and and, don't remember anything else atm ^^

Gonna start first basic testing now, still need to do the path of the women, which is going to be ass

How many hours are left now?

 

[baassee]

I'm out of this one, I'll keep on building for the next contest (the one that starts on monday?). Have to prioritize life. Good luck everyone!

 

[Bannar]

Have to prioritize life.

Good decision. I'd leave the Techtree contest but Pharaoh_ extended it to 30th sept :S

 

[D a w n]

almost seems like I'm out aswell. I simply cannot set up the balancing of my spawn trigger without heavy bugs(like 4 units of each kind are summoned, while only 3/1/1 should be created or units spawn on a region that I haven't even decided as the spawn region). Well...there is still some time left,but I already worked on it since I wrote about my last update :/

Edit: FIX'D my problem

 

[PROXY]

Oww.. come on guys! You'll make it, don't give up. I want to have some competition after all

Oh, and a question. How can I make that the creeps attack the target I need to "protect" and not me, the hero?

 

[Aeroblyctos]

So how many hours left now? I forgot to continue the project.

 

[Wraithling]

Aiks.. I guess we are all running out of time

Okay. Here's another WIP. I've just finished making the "Tutorial Round", which is just great, seeing as I still have the main rounds of Round 1-3 to make. I have to be realistic and say I won't be able to finish this in time.

Rough progress:

Game mechanics - 1/4 done.
Terrain - threadbare.
Everything else - barely starting.

*****************

Anyway here's an 'Alpha' version. I base the game play on the card game Magic The Gathering. Only the 'Tutorial Round' is playable, and only four types of magic are available for testing. Sad.

EDIT: @Aeroblyctos - 4 hours and 30 minutes to deadline.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Ok I'll start my project now. First wip.

 

[PROXY]

WTF ^^

Anyway, Wraithling, looks great and also is quite cool to play

To repeat my question:

Oh, and a question. How can I make that the creeps attack the target I need to "protect" and not me, the hero?

I badly need help with this, as otherwise I'm not able to submit my map :\

 

[Jazztastic]

@Fan, make the target a non-hero, then make the creeps only able to attack non-heroes.

 

[PROXY]

Hmm, okay I'll try that, thanks

But is there a way so they FIRST attack my target, and THEN I can somehow get their attention? Because otherwise I'll just run beneath her, kill all the enemies and heal her simply.

 

[Brambleclaw]

If you want them to aim it and ignore everything else.

Every 5 seconds
Order every unit in unit group all units owned by (Creeps) to attack Unit01

Alternatively

Every 5 seconds

Order units owned by creeps to attack move to point random point in regioni 001

Order all units in region001 matching condition owned by creeps to attack Unit01



Alternatively give the base a 100 Priority and heros 0 Priority they will agro the base whenever in range

 

[Vengeancekael]

@Aeroblyctos, omg lol troll!!

@Don, AH COME ON SON YOU CAN DO IIIIIIIIIIIT

If we have at least 3 entries, I'll make the poll, if not then I'll MAYBE extend the contest by a few hours.

 

[Foronisus]

hmm im really confused im GMT + 1 and to me its 21:48 right now

 

[Wraithling]

@Fan: Not sure if this works.. but give your hero fortified armour, then tweak the damage table in Gameplay Constants. I've found on many occasions that enemies regard fortified armour as the lowest threat.

 

[Vengeancekael]

7 hours left.
edit: wait what

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Hah, hope I'm not too late. I'm just doing basic triggers.

Also I've to go sleep in two hours so I try best as I can to make this done.

 

[PROXY]

There ya go bitchez:

I presentz you:

THE EXORZIST:

I hope you won't killz me as I cant take ingame screenshots of gameplayz. Hope thatz okayz.

Description is everything in it. Didn't have time to make a final test, but should work okay ^^ AND PLEASE. PLEASE GOD. DON'T TRY CHEATING WITH GOING THROUGH THE PATHING BLOCKERS!!
Thanks :3

Edit: Failed in writing exorCist right...

 

[Magtheridon96]

This is mathematically known as Golden ratio

Yup, and it balanced the creep's perfectly


Ok guys, update:

Code: 99.5% (2 more lines to go )
Terrain: 100%
Objects: 100%
Misc: 99%

Jelly?

edit

Must I write some description, or can't I just post a map when it's done

 

[PROXY]

You need to post a description, period.

No, just joking, there is no need for a description, just a few screenshots (so tell the rules) but I already saw lots of entries in other contests which had no screenshots and were excepted ^_^

 

[Vengeancekael]

Just post the map.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

So how many hours now left?

Here's my second wip.
