Triples? My first version of my arena had 40 doodads (gates etc),
now I have about 5k.

 

[Palaslayer]

hm my already has a couple of thousands ^^, so it only triples or sth, my aos has 12500 (at the moment)

Holy shit.. Well I can beat you at everything other with my arena, it had so much work in it that I don't know how much I should take to give other people passwords for playing it.

/sarcasm

Well its really hard work. But its worth terraining and mapping when you see the end result.

 

[Palaslayer]

do u make angel arena? lol it is played on bnet very often

 

[Anachron]

do u make angel arena? lol it is played on bnet very often

Nope, I didn't say that at any time, but my Arena is definitly even better as angel arena, beleave me.

 

[Paladon]

Good news! New screenshots available!
The forest & the swamp.
Don´t be afraid, it won´t be totally rpg, it´s more like a mix of standart camapign/rpg.

Screenshots

 

[Anachron]

Better, really. What I miss is the ruinik feel in it. You know what I mean

 

[Paladon]

Well, it´s a forest. Not a ruin.

 

[Anachron]

Well, it´s a forest. Not a ruin.

I love ruins and I am really interested how the forest will look like.

Gl hf with your project.

Btw, my arena has 2 new screenshots.

Although i´m privately very interested in your arena project, you should be careful whether you misuse this thread for advertisement.

I see, thats why I only post it with ontopic sentences.

Any other has something done yet? Would like to see it.

 

[Sabertooth]

I've been triggering a little bit in between some stuff, no new screens from me yet.

 

[Paladon]

However, pala and pala will post more informations asap.

EDIT:
Yes, we can. Time to show progress!
I created a Sky System and a Fog System.
The cooperation of both systems allows us to give a realistic day/night feeling.
The systems include the possibility to additionally give a thunderstorm/rain/sunshine/whatever feeling whenever we wish. Let´s see.

Screenshot^^

 

[bounty hunter2]

Looks neat. Best luck on your project.

 

[Kwah]

Reminds me of an RPG I played a while back. Dungeon Lords.

 

[bounty hunter2]

I forgot to add:
- Houses realy don't fit in :/ ( I mean they doo but they look bad I don't know why its just they bother me )
- the yellow shrub in the night picture is too light

 

[Paladon]

I guess they bother you because they´re resized ones.
But how could we avoid this negative effect?

 

[Anachron]

The terrain is realling getting better and better. I like too see those WIPs.

And to the negative side: It looks boring for me. Sorry

 

[bounty hunter2]

xD, I don't know how. I mean the houses do fit the Elven theme guy and scene, I just find the model itself not good. Btw, will this be arrow controlled character or?

 

[Paladon]

No. You can always choose via escape between 4 camera angles. One is the standart wc3 one. Three are something between this and bird perspektive.
I simply like this most.
The terrain looks different if you play it from different angles.

EDIT: Btw, these screenshots are from the same area - no wonders that it looks boring after 10 screenshots of the same place^^

 

[bounty hunter2]

I have seen that you can controll your camera in the previous screens but I had asked will you have arrow control over the hero or mouse control?

 

[Paladon]

Mouse Control.
Two simple reasons:
1) Arrow control is jerking and not smooth enough.
2) You´ll need the arrows for the dialogue system *ouch!*

Ah and 2nd btw, it´s not the only hero you´re playing^^

 

[Anachron]

Hmm okay.. Then it might be cool.. I am gonna check .. the next screenshots.. more.. so do from another area or degrees please

 

[Paladon]

We won´t for a while now. We think it´s enough for the moment.

Yea I was kinda hoping for mouse control, I saw a lot of good rpgs and campaigns got ruined by arrow controls. I just get tired of it after some time as it is to damn complicated and slow.

 

[Paladon]

You got it. And if you get bored by the perspektive and quick-klicking, you can always change to another, for example the wc one, angle.

 

[Kwah]

Thanks for making multiple camera options.

 

[NearbyHermit]

Any new updates ,Paladon,some screens?

 

[Paladon]

Some pages before, yea, but they are from the same area.
I added some systems but it´s hard to transfer the in-game feeling to this thread.
I´ll post more screenshots as soon as we got more areas (=soon).
Palaslayer is currently working on the new areas, i on the dialogue system and the models.

 

[Palaslayer]

so first i wanna quote bountyhunter2

I forgot to add:
- Houses realy don't fit in :/ ( I mean they doo but they look bad I don't know why its just they bother me )
- the yellow shrub in the night picture is too light

if u have a good house model tell me, i searched for them more than half an hour

we cant change the damn shrub color as well ^^

who says that this looks boring... isnt right at all ^^

if u want some ruins, there will be a temple

 

[TheBlooddancer]

Pala&Pala, you could use the arrow keys for 'look around' system. Also, you could use that sightcone system from the spells section.

Take a look at it.

Best regards
-TheBlooddancer

 

[bounty hunter2]

Unfortunatly I don't know any good elf house models

 

[TheBlooddancer]

There is some. I got them myself. Tobad i dont know how to zip a folder.

Edit: Found out

 

[Avator]

Use WinRAR. Right-click your folder and select 'Add to Archive...'. Then you just choose where to place the .RAR file and name it. However I still suggest you use an online file hosting site like I mentioned in my previous post.

 

[TheBlooddancer]

Meh. U r to slow.

 

[Paladon]

Blooddancer, thank you for collecting this pack. But we definitely need elven buildings, not human ones :/

Knockback effects^^

 

[TheBlooddancer]

Meh ;D

I thought they could be merged in, of some kind (Just set collusion to None, and height to whatever, or such.)

 

[Paladon]

Where is the bad, white, werewolf, eh?

Yeah, its the same area again.

 

[bounty hunter2]

I love it

 

[Kyrbi0]

Nice use of models.

 

[Linaze]

I like it Paladon, but do you really think you will finish an entire campaign on time? :O So anyways, will the entire campaign be played with 3rd person camera?

 

[bounty hunter2]

Hmm I started doing the campaign. It takes place in the world I created for the Ghoul's campaign, anyhow the story goes somehow like this:

On the East Continent once existed a vast Goblin empire Pedelia. Its capitol Pedeliah had lasted over a millenium. But somewhere in the south, a visionarist, named Cahran, who used black magic to conduct numerous experiments, had opened a portal. He was possesed with the spirit of a ancient illusionist, and controled by him he summoned armies of Renevants from the Abys. And city fell and fell, and only one small fort divided the Renevants and the capital Pedeliah. Fort Lihan. This campaign takes place in the 3 days of the defence of Lihan.

I started doing the fort, Screens tomorrow.

 

[Palaslayer]

first, we use different camerea views, usin s special camera system


second thing, when i finished the terrain in map one, paladon will do the rest while i already make the one in map two

i think as far as i know at the moment that map one is the biggest part of work because you will play that map most, and the terrain is mostcomplicated

when the systems are done u will have to import them into the other maps only, nothing more

thx @ kyrbie, i do my best to create a realistic terrain and surrounding for the gameplay, atm i have 1/4 of the first map done, working at the seconds part at the moment, if i go on like this i can finish it by the end of next week, and i think we have a month left then ^^

so their might be good chances for us to finish the campaign before edit-time runs out

stay tuned

palaslayer

EDIT: @ kyrbie

ya'rly! can u send me the link to this? i forgot where to find it...

 

[bounty hunter2]

Screenshot. I changed the story a bit.

 

[Paladon]

Well, i took three screenshots using some of the available camera perspectives.
The screenshot is always taken from the same position.

Holy shit! Nice ....

 

[Linaze]

Looks awesome. Though, it's spelled "Melee", just a minor typo.

Oh thank you, i did not notice my mistake^^

 

[TheBlooddancer]

Damn, i was just about to write that.
Its a common typo, many people make it all the time.
