Who knows? Only the developers know.

There might be simple combat, but I'm not a developer. I'm just an avid fan here.

It got a 2\5 from the mods.
But I've never played it, because of the shitty WC3 updates. :C

 

[De.Facto]

Hey guys, sorry for the long break. Last month I was working (for a firm for holiday jobs concentrating on expanding green energy and all that) and back so far.
Dark, our coder was ill.. and returned, too. Just let me arrive at first. (;

After a long dry spell, I'm writing this article for you with some new content. The soundtrack has been finished. Finally! I hope you like it. Feel free to give us feedback, or some suggestions.

Hugget Sukker is our new Sound-Director. Thanks again for your contribution, Hugget Sukker!





Furthermore I want to give you some impressions. The great collective is has been formed.

The Collective represents a mysterious phenomenon which exists and grows by absorbing pure kinds of energy (like fission & fusion generators, human mind, or electricity).
This particular one in chernobyl is absorbing the reactor's fission power and seeks to grow its mind by collecting mind and soul of any individual.

This mind stands for the sum of all absorbed ones. The relevant point now is, that all of these minds are imprisoned in a small, compressed cage.
Every part-mind in this Collective can feel, see and understand what another individuals feel, see and understand... Which is by no means wonderful, it is a nightmare for the ones inside.
Imagine ONE body having a vast amount of mind and soul essence, existing of memories, wishes, feelings, different will, purposes.

Everything mixed together leads to schizophrenia, emotional tension, desperation, fear.

 

[Psf_Kurt]

Glad you finally got the music sorted out.

 

[indomitable1319]

AMAZING.
I don't know if this has any relation to how WC looked like before, it's like pushing WC to it's limits...

 

[De.Facto]

 

[indomitable1319]

Epic model...

 

[Psf_Kurt]

unglaublich!
ok now that can't be warcraft 3 anymore

 

[MortAr]

Are you sure this one will be even playable on normal PCs..?

 

[De.Facto]

I'm very sure about that. We got stable 60 fps.. even on the worst pc in our test-team. (;

 

[Marsal]

Epic model...

no.... it's epicly epic.... first i tought that i'm in stalker ~.~

 

[Miss_Foxy]

Wow. This is really, really good. If there's any spaces, I'd love to be part of the Beta Team, thanks if I do make it in! +Rep for epic map making.

 

[RiotZ]

Wow, wtf, omg, cheese puff. That model is orgasmically epically covered in kickassity. I must lick it.

What I'm wondering De.Facto is if this WILL run on Wc3's engine, I notice you spammed a lot of those tiny pipes from XGM.ru from Dawn of War.. Which brings me to believe when I move around those I am going to lag to death. How will you prevent this? I figured maybe you are stretching them out so less models are used, or something like that.

 

[Thyrael]

I don't think it will lag. during the creation of Darkwind RPG I figured out, that not the count of doodads lags. It's more the count od walkable destructables. After I reduced the number of those walkables, I was able to raise the average FPS by around 8 frames and have it now stable at ~33. So my advice for better performance is, use as few as possible walkable destructables.

Two things: Fingolfin tweaked the models. Less polys. Better look. More performance. Additionally I've streched them to death, right. ;P
But they still look good, as you may see. Just let me show you some current screenshots with stable fps around 30.

As you already recognized, these characters are out-dated.

I don't use this technique. Just check out my tutorial.

 

[Miss_Foxy]

The game is bound to be epic, how about improving on the animations and models to make them look even more realistic once the game is out? They look pretty good right now though.

 

[Eldubs]

Can i ask...

Is some of this terrain from Fallout?

Or am i wrong?

 

[indomitable1319]

His theme is futuristic, and sort of mysterious. Therefore, it has to look like that.

 

[Miss_Foxy]

And we could say he's doing a pretty good job with the terrain too

 

[RiotZ]

@Indomitable1319: That OR, he could be using T-51b armors as his main unit displayed with the terrain.. That might give someone a Fallout impression. >:O

@De.Facto: The map looks great, but let me ask one last thing; what is the point of an alpha tile? And how do you get the terrain to sit flat like a square box.. So that you could reduce the use of 'Walkable Destructables'?

And I would have guessed Fingolfin to have something to do with it.. His nose is in everything.

 

[Eldubs]

Anyways looks extremely nice, will keep track of this and wait for a playable beta to come out.

 

[Fingolfin]

I love you too

 

[De.Facto]

Great news, great news .. (yes, it's a link)

 

[Miss_Foxy]

Wow. It's really awesome, do update the first post too!

 

[Eldubs]

Wow. It's really awesome, do update the first post too!

wow, after this post i only understandet that the picture was a link. First i was like WTF is that?

 

[Grievous1]

yeah under this link you can find our other projects too so don't fear them and give them a try too.

 

[Miss_Foxy]

I hope there would be ways we can give encouragement or something to help out, it looks really nice, hope you can find a way to increase map bounds too Rather than stay to Blizzard's limitations (If there is a method) ...

 

[sengjung123]

erm when is it coming out? i cant wait to try it!

 

[De.Facto]

We're honoured that there's still interest, but we're currently working on » Warcraft III - Paranoia and » Arcadia - Rise and Fall [Overhauled].
Chernobyl - Lost Riddles and Rise Of Rapture comes next.

 

[Psf_Kurt]

...will...never...lose...hope...

But whyyyyyyyy? Chernobyl should be the first.

 

[harmjanz]

where can i download it when it comes out?

 

[Tleno]

By the way, it was 25 years from Chernobyl tragedy yesterday... happy* Chernobyl day?

*Just allousing to Merry Christmas and Happy easter and such. No offence.

 

[PROXY]

Let me correct the happy for you please.. ;]

 

[De.Facto]

But whyyyyyyyy? Chernobyl should be the first.

Due to the lack of coders we had stopped the work on it. Every system has been finished, but there's missing content. You would just run around, doing nothing special.

where can i download it when it comes out?

here

Paranoia comes next. (;

 

[Miss_Foxy]

Woots! Hope to play this once exams are done, it'll be worthwhile.

 

[Hanky]

I just want to announce that the project is now again in development. Right now Im recoding all systems for a better performance and more flexibility.

 

[Miss_Foxy]

That is awesome, I'll be looking forward to another awesome map made by the group

Oh yeah! Nice to hear that!

 

[Miss_Foxy]

That's great to hear, this is so great, I've tried Arcadia and I'm gonna try another awesome map soon!

 

[KaiserG]

Waiting for this project! Just played a round of Chernobyl 0.30b, got stuck at the "money rules the world" with the morse code coins... Couldn't figure it out.
Good luck and if you need a beginner JASSer (I doubt it) I'm at your service.

Hallelujah.

 

[Miss_Foxy]

Awesome, I love all your maps, hope this'll be even more awesome than expected

 

[KaiserG]

When it comes out, Is it possible for a bot hosting this map on several servers? I play on a local PvPGN from my country, several ppl is online there. It would be really cool. If not I can still go to bnet :B

 

[Marsal]

I fixed my comp, installed Shadow of Chernobyl and restored my old save. I checked all 3 endings. It was awesome. After that, I can't wait to play this beauty.
