  • You should not do that :O He steals girls hearts from all the hive! But he gives no heart in return :O
    I too, apologize for being arrogant. I did not mean any of that.

    Thanks. I'm glad someone had finally found my spell "cute" xD
    Speaking of, you're kinda cute too. Just remove that witch inside and bam! your perfect!

    Well, it's nice meeting you missy.
    Just ask if you need some help for something. I will gladly help a friend :]
    Sorry about that, missy. I thought you were picking a fight.
    You know, games aren't supposed to be taken seriously. Most people here are acting cool because they are more experienced on this game. I'm just trying not to be one of them (though, I've been arrogant, that's why I'm apologizing).
    No problem, just remember that it's impossible to go wrong, even if you make something terrible, people can always have an input to help you improve. I know my first few things were terrible, but the fact that I submitted bad work, meant I was able to improve much faster. The trick is to just not be discouraged by things being hard or people pointing out flaws, but rather being driven to outdo yourself and others' expectations
    Ah heyas, sorry it's taken so long to get around to answering. Things have been pretty busy.

    Thanks for the kind words, took quite a while to get this far for me ^^
    As far as general tips and tricks, I'm not very good at explaining things, but I'll try conveying the ideas to the best of my ability.

    Typically I find the easiest way to go about creating spells/systems and just generally working with programming, is to have the general idea of the structure of your spell/system/whatever before you start working on it, then creating all the variables you think you'll need to do it, instead of having to constantly go back and add more later, you work a lot faster and more cleanly when you're not making it up as you go along (both in the structure of your programming and the idea of what you want the programming to do). It also helps to add a sort of structure where you can easily pause, stop, and come back later without having to re-read your script to know where you are/what you're doing.

    Naturally you then have the more cliché advice of when you get stuck, it tends to help to leave for 10-15 minutes, then come back, sometimes you get too involved and miss the obvious things. I myself have a bad habit of getting too focussed in and missed the fact that I was forgetting a degrees to radians conversion for 30 minutes, for example.

    I guess for those aiming to get more into programming and such, really the best advice is to study other people's work which is a bit higher (not hugely) than your own understanding, can make a lot of progress very quickly if you do that. My own work tends to be a bit bad for that, because of the massive walls of script which are very offputting and the less-obvious structure. but, if you break it down, long scripts can become a lot easier, just don't try to absorb all the information at once I suppose.

    I'm not sure how much my advice would help, but I'm always around in the hive chatroom, so if you wish to talk more or need me to explain anything I'm saying (all too aware of how bad I am at explaining) you should be able to catch me there relatively easily
    - T-C
    Allright, all I want is good imported models.Other than that I suggest you talk to Magtheridon96 since he is the spell moderator, he knows vJass more than his own language... BELIEVE ME
    vJass NJO.I know a lot of friends here who are experts with it. I know gui.(Forgot some of it because of the lack making spells) Working on some map right ? Maybe I can draw a loading screen or even tho terrain some stuff...
    Well, I can say good morning as well, I just woke up from my "lovely" nap. How are you this fine day ?
    Are you sure it's liz.Archange1 ?? Other than that this slow comunication is killing me...Have any chats where you are at ?Maybe THW chat
    Haha, thanks ^^

    I guess thats the only pose I can do when taking a picture :O
    Ah cool I am "Mature" now :3.Anyways if you don't know what steam is...It's actually a place where it allows you to play some games online or even single player...Go download it. Register and send me the name ^^.Other than that you are 16 right ?
    That's good to hear ^^.First of all you need to send me your steam acount then I will add you as friend you accept I send you the game you download and install it, then you are ready to go ^^. Best 12 year old boy ever right :D ?
    Well, dota is just a map in Warcraft 3. Where DotA 2 is a new game! Based on the map it's pretty fun to play, anyways don't say you are a noob when you have never tried it ^^ I'm sure you'd like it with some practice, anyways the game costs some pretty good amount of money but some people recieve keys to send to friends, want one ?
    Trying to have a fun day...Gonna start a match of dota 2 now...Because I feel like it.Anyways nothing special today...Anyways do you have dota 2 ? If not I can give you a free key if you ofcourse want one... :)
    Why thank you :). You seem friendly. Since I have nothing to do but to chat with someone, I though by starting a conversation I'd say...How are you ^^ (lol)
    I'm not as good as I would like to be, but I certainly have improved. Thanks anyway :)

    I'm using Gimp.
    Well, I've always liked drawing, and at some point I simply decided to try 2d texturing for WC3.
    Yeah, it looks extremely awesome! It's incredible how much he's improved.

    Nice to know someone's finding a use for my textures :)
    Some other members have requesting orb from me too >.>
    Plus the 4 orbs were actually made for my map. But I'll see about it, if I ever wanna take a break from my map, I might go make it.
    Hehe, I'll keep it in mind - though not many requests - Perhaps I should stray into Starcraft :smile:
    No help needed, not really that many requests - Nor is it in fact a loadingscreen thread only :wink: Also I can only recall you needed a loadingscreen and had trouble getting it to work, so good that it sounds like you got that solved. And welcome back :grin: You have missed quite a lot of the things that occurred here at the Hive.
