  • i've begun working with the sasquatch but its head is giving me problems since it has a giant head, i've also been searching every here and there if i can find an easier model to work with that has good animations
    No worries, you weren't rude :)

    I couldn't make black mask on a rect after black mask has been disabled. I'll let you know if I find a way.
    It's not a hassle; really.
    In The Risen, I do all the work.
    Journey, Terrain and triggers.
    RuneScape, manage the thread.
    Aeronauts, I support because I'm part of the original team.
    Borealis, I test.
    Telar's Tale, I do cinematics and triggers.
    The Chosen Ones, I help with English and test.
    :D
    Nope, RuneScape isn't my map though.
    I'm in several projects... 7; to be exact.
    The Risen [Mine], Journey [The Fairfield], RuneScape Map [devil1d], Aeronauts [chanan12], Borealis: Broken Isles [Mallaboro], Telar's Tale - The Bellwood Uprising, The Chosen Ones [Aeroblyctos]
    I suggest you check them out. :3
    JPEG compression is what most blp converters use, pallet compression is the rare sort.
    You can not use JPEG compression on models, only the textures the models use.

    JPEG compression is a form of lossy dicrete cosine compression. It lowers image quality to reduce file size.

    8 MB is the maximum online filesize, although smaller is always better, 8MB is still ok.
    Normally when I did play, all I did was ladder really. I wasn't much of a custom gamer :) And yeah I don't wanna bring you guys down with the lag :p
    Heh, well I don't really play online anymore. Plus because of my not so great connection it's not like I really could anyhow :p Sorry bro!
    LOL. Nothing like that, just good friends :p And your an awesome guy Nickel, don't EVER forget that ^_^
    You weren't being rude at all bro :) And I hold nothing against you either, just because I don't want to help doesn't mean it should affect what we have together.

    <3
    Well I have the resources I may as well do 5 - sorry I was acting a bit.. odder than usual last night. XP
    I don't mean to be a let-down, but I don't think I'll be able to accomplish your task.
    It's just a bit too much for me and I apologize if I wasted your time.
    Oh right cool I'll go take a look at 'em haha :)
    HOLY.. cow.
    Well I could help with it, do you have MSN Messenger? May make things easier.
    Ah okay show me some screeners when it's done :D
    Hmm.. well how many races are we talking?
    There's like 30 people lol :p and I may start terraining more o.o
    I can do anything to get a map going really - terrain trigger spells etc. I just can't do modelling, icons, skinning and vJass. And no I am not working on anything atm.
    How are your projects going? :D
    Ah okay fair enough ^^
    Thanks nickel :D Next time I'll put more effort into my terraining abilities.
    And your new avatar is oh so stylish. :p
    I will send it, but you have to give me some time ;) iam busy theese days... maybe tomorow it will be, you jsut need to wait some days.
    images are png but when I uploaded them hive server added .jpg to their names, just remove that from name and try again, it should work 100%
    Hey again! :)

    Well, you could probably open up models and remove any unnecessary parts yourself, but as far as I'm aware, the quick solution is those two programs as you said :D

    I guess the only other thing you could do to really limit the map size is choose models that use war3 textures and use custom skins instead of custom models wherever possible :D
    Here you go requested one and few others was my idea...
    lol you don't need to give me anything, not even credits, whole THW use my avatars and that's the greatest credits that I can have. Thanks for request, come by if you need anything again. Have a nice day!

    Hey nickel510!

    You know, I'm actually unsure about what causes the small load-times in my maps, I assure you it's not on purpose o_O

    If I had to guess, it could be the fact that all my triggers are in GUI, or that, like you said, I heavily compress a lot of the custom .BLP's I use :p I actually use the Warcraft 3 Viewer to do all my compressing as shown below:

    Convert BLP - TGA
    Open TGA file
    Resize to 256x256 if bigger
    Convert back into a .BLP at 50% quality

    And thats about it :)

    Hope this helps!
    I've been offline for quite some time, and probably will continue to. I've gotten a job now, and I've got school to see to too, so I most likely won't be active at all for the next couple of months. :S
    Hey :) i just wanna say GL with the map!
    And if you are a good modeller just tell me :)
    cause im making a map for HoAR on northrend :p
    I have, did you? Me, I've been here and there, doing things, having fun, enjoying my last 13 days of holidays left :( I'm redoing my old project, Dragon Age Origins now, so far the progress and support have been great ^^. What about you, how's your project going?
    Lol yes you did! Well good luck with your map ;) I'll be ready to test it when it releases!

    How come you don't have a green gem yet? :mad:

    Plus you posted the last comment on your profile not mine.. lol. :p
    It took me while but I've uploaded the models. I checked the xgm one for the credits, but apparently it's from WoW..

    I can't put the skins on the hive cause I used the xgm one as a base. Heh, Im crap at scratch texturing too =/
    Nickel, offcourse you can use the tileset. I'm just thinking where to place the models and skins, maybe in a thread somewhere? I took the gate model + texture from xgm and based the rest around it. I'll need to check in WE who to credit for the gate.. You're also free to edit the stuff, as long as you keep me posted on awesome additions ;)
    Yeah it is actually :) have you looked at the Draenor RISK thread lately? I've added 2 new pictures, ones a map done in photo editor and the other is an in-game overhead screenshot of the new terrain. Its coming along nicely! Though I do need a triggerer and model editor.

    I'm not much of a Samus guy, I'm more into games like the new Donkey Kong country, now that was a fun game.
    Haha aw bro your missing out!
    TRY IT! :D <3
    How's that map of yours going anyway? Gettin' any further? ;)
    Hah yeah I was getting a little tired of Lady Gaga, so I figured I needed someone that matched my name and was sexy like any female is. That person was Samus Aran. :D
