I don't have MSN or anything like that, I have Skype sometimes, but never use it.

 

[Kyrbi0]

I just got it recently, hawk; I'd have to suggest it, if only for the privacy and the relative ease of instant chatting.

Then again, this is my first foray into the field of Instant Messaging or Chatting at all, so I guess I'm not one to talk.

 

[Lestat(br)]

Modeller, searching for a team...

 

[Rising_Dusk]

I think I would enter this, actually, but the coding job seems really lame compared to the modeling one. Oh well, good luck to those of you entering.

 

[Gausslander]

Agreed, Rising_Dusk, I'm really only joining because I like to help others.

 

[Kwah]

I'm joining because . . . I'm awesome like that. But, actually I kind of have to agree with the fact that this isn't really an Olympic Contest.

But, anyway back on topic:

Dusk you should enter. It would be ultimate pawnage.

 

[Hero_Lief]

Hmm, how do we apply to be a judge?

 

[Kwah]

No offense, but I think that we're looking for someone with a bit more experience, unless you are a serious melee player?

 

[Gausslander]

This is an early wip of some of the shoreline terrain. The rain effect (in-game) models are a little bugged in this pic, don't mind them.

 

[Hero_Lief]

Dang, nice.

 

[Kwah]

Very. . . Hermit needs to get too it now!

 

[Hawkwing]

That tile variation isn't too noticeable. You need to add in a Dirt/Rough Dirt path or something.

 

[Lestat(br)]

I think you should create a map development thread to discuss your project. Here it is too spammy.
And this thread then remains to team searching and general constest-concerned questions.
Also your ideas won't be shown to everyone that's interested on the contest this way.

Still searching for a team, as a modeller.

 

[~Void~]

Wait a day or two, for ~Void~ and if not, I'll take you on. Feel free to take up any other offers you get.

I'm already teamed with eleandor. Sorry.

 

[Kwah]

Too late anyway. I got a Hermit.

 

[Gausslander]

That tile variation isn't too noticeable. You need to add in a Dirt/Rough Dirt path or something.

You don't get it... the whole point of the technique is to make it not noticeable.

 

[Hawkwing]

It's just my opinion. You don't have to actually do it.

I'm just saying that it looks too perfect with a pure grass-covered area.

 

[Belgarath]

You need SOME tile variation. I would've never thought of editing the doodads for a melee map. Dang. Wait, is that allowed??

 

[Gausslander]

All of the tiles are different, dumb dumb. Plus it's a WIP not a complete screen.

 

[Kyrbi0]

Hmm, seems like someone is a busy bee. Right to work; and very cool WIP, BTW. (LOL, WIP BTW BBQ ROFL ETC...)

So did you get to talking with Xatoga yet? If the MSN thing won't work due to time-schedules, I really think I should just set up a Pastebin (or rather, Xatoga should, since only the creator can seem to post attachments, and he'll need to show us model WIPs).

 

[Belgarath]

Not all of them. But you need some obvious tile variation, yes. It makes it TOO subtle otherwise.

 

[Gausslander]

It's a WIP, get over it.

 

[Belgarath]

Hey, I didn't say it was shit, I'm giving suggestions T_T

i agree
still searching for a team as a triggerer ^^

 

[Fulla]

Ok, sent you a pm Hero_Lief.
Hope you guys have a plan

 

[NearbyHermit]

Do not worry,I'm here.

...and I have awesome ideas that are good for our theme.

 

[Hero_Lief]

Hrm. We're in search of a modeller.

 

[NearbyHermit]

Modelers are rare,and they got General Frank,we're a bit doomed.

But I won't give up.

 

[Kwah]

Do not worry,I'm here.

...and I have awesome ideas that are good for our theme.

Start PM Disscusion asap.

 

[NearbyHermit]

I will,but firstly let's see some ''enemy submissions''

 

[Kyrbi0]

We will never submit! Never surrender!!!

~~~

~On-Topic~
Scyth-Master + Xatoga: I'm not likin' how erratic and unhelpful this "chatting" thing is on MSN; I honestly think a secret thread would allow for discussion regardless of time, and for better organization of ideas. And less off-topicry. (where do I live, Scyth?...)

 

[Gausslander]

I can't ask where my teammate lives?...

And if you don't like the only member on the team that's actually working, then I think you're a bit greedy. In less you start busting out good-quality spells, I'll quit.

 

[Kyrbi0]

I can't ask where my teammate lives?...

I was kidding. You fully have the right to ask. I also have the right to be secretive.

And if you don't like the only member on the team that's actually working, then I think you're a bit greedy. In less you start busting out good-quality spells, I'll quit.

Ok, listen. Where in my post did I complain about your work? In fact, I only said "wow, that's great work" and "good job, Scyth". I'm totally cool with your terraining; again, good work, so far as I've seen.

However, think about this, slowly and clearly. How in the world can I work on any spells, heroes, units, buildings, or anything, when we haven't even talked with each other and planned anything?? Honestly. Not trying to be rude, but you keep assaulting me with that line, "make moar spells or I quitzorz". I can't do anything until we talk (which would be a lot more dependable on a Thread, might I add...)

 

[Gausslander]

Then make a thread, make a concept, and make a spell. Settled.

 

[Kyrbi0]

... I've got plenty of concepts, but I want to make sure they're ok with you guys before I just barge off. Especially because Xatoga has to model what I/we come up with; I need his feedback even more.

However, I'll make a thread and send you the link.

(Sorry, my above outburst was perhaps a bit... rash. I just don't understand how I can work on stuff without talking first.)

 

[Gausslander]

On a completely unrelated note, here are some more WIPs.

Gold Mine:
To the right of that grand statue and that gold mine, is the starting location for player 1.

Shallow Water:
Shallow water with creeps in between the two marshes.

 

[Hawkwing]

That looks awesome. The statue looks a bit necessary, but that's up to you to decide.

 

[Gausslander]

IMO, the statue looks awesome in-game, so I'm gonna keep it. But thank you for the suggestion.

 

[Hawkwing]

It's kinda hard to tell from this angle. I'm sure it's fine.

That tavern seems a bit random. Perhaps add some rocks or something around that area.

 

[LightBloOD]

nice terrain but i dont think that the mana siphon effects look good in the water

 

[Kyrbi0]

Lookin' good, Scyth. Although what exactly are the mana-siphon things in the water? Whirlpools??

(Or is your map themed, like "this area is so infused with arcane magic from the Dalaran Mage's experiments, that... blah blah blah"?

 

[Gausslander]

There's a lot of foliage there, and lots of bushes and flowers, it looks fine in-game.

You're supposed to just ignore those, those are place mats for the rain really, until I can find a better effect.

Again, they're placemats. This is actually a crushed Imperium, a small rebellious castle led by a tyrant, and now enticed in forest and ruin.

 

[Kyrbi0]

'K then.

*Hey, I can't find the Pastebin forum here, and from what I've seen of it in the past, it's not so good for discussion (not really a thread). You have a Wc3C account, right?

 

[HappyTauren]

Pastebin - The Hive Workshop - Warcraft 3 Maps, Icons, Spells, Tools, Tutorials, Skins, Models, Campaigns, Scenarios, though not really a forum.

 

[Kwah]

I feel like I've seen that posted before . . .

But, anyway this contest looks like its shaping up REALLY well.

 

[NearbyHermit]

More teams to come,goody!


Woohoo,I'm against the best terrainers in Hive.Too bad Madsen/ could not participate,it would of heated up the atmosphere.

 

[Kyrbi0]

Ah, thank you. But yeah, I was right; it's no forum of threads. I'll just use Wc3C's (unless, of course, Scyth doesn't want to go there).

 

[Gausslander]

I feel like I've seen that posted before . . .

What?

 

[Kwah]

What?

It just seems, like I've seen HT post the exact same thing somewhere else.

But, anyway . . . Hermit and me are planning . . . goes away and be quite.
