Yeah, any news; Grievous1?

Grievous1 · Jan 3, 2011

Okay guys I have found a way to show warcraft 3 correctly on my computer (but just in the windowed mode but I think its better than nothing) also I can show you something new one and for the begin I want to show you something new a UI wip and some other little changes like the clock and the wall

indomitable1319 · Jan 3, 2011

Holy.
Assfag.
It.
Looks.
AWESOME!
I can't believe that's still Warcraft!
The tape on the UI, the command buttons, the icons OMFG!!! The F9-F12 background looks so awesome... The green bar and the blue bar on the health and mana... The blood splattered all over the UI... OMFG!!!

Thank you but its still wip and the icon are from the old paranoia version also they will be changed and this for sure.

when will you release a demo? ~.~

RiotZ · Jan 3, 2011

Very nice.

frostloh · Jan 3, 2011

extremely good ui

Miss_Foxy · Jan 4, 2011

I wonder if there'll be a Beta test...

If it have enough content and works correctly enough.

here a little update shaking flickering lamps and what the hell is that a infected spetsnaz zombie?!

and yes a new playable character without a mask oO...

RiotZ · Jan 4, 2011

Kewl beans.. I think the lamp could use a better texture though. The rust doesn't look very realistic.

Its a real texture also its can't be not realistic and its no rust its more missed color metal. ^^

RiotZ · Jan 4, 2011

Oh. xD

What do you mean by "real texture" like an in-game texture?

Tleno · Jan 4, 2011

Excelent, an another superawesome mega total conversion based on some awesome story!

Well I doubt Slot group is that popular guys... Oh, and if you want a horror athmosphere, beteer use Russian singer's Timotee'a music. >

I think by real texture he means it's a texture based on real rust photo or whatever...

GhostThruster · Jan 5, 2011

Damn, you're outdoing yourself

Real texture is like the HD textures by Born2Modificate.

I see.. The texture Real-ly sucks. Get it? Get it!? Lol just kidding..

I like the selection circle, but it would be nice if it were smaller, I think selection circles are a bit distracting in WC3.
The floor looks real-ly nice. Again with the "Real-ly" stuff? Real-ly? xD

GhostThruster · Jan 6, 2011

Are the characters gonna be 'alive'? Like, it will have superb detailed anims for everything? Judging from the screenie, the death anim looks pretty sick (in a good way).

The selection circles look alright to me. It should stand out more, but get less attention. That sickly green ring around my Wc3 units looks like shit compared to the beautiful, slightly translucent green circle. Very soft on the eyes. Seriously!

Miss_Foxy · Jan 6, 2011

Are you able to Model High Resolution stuff too? Or must there be some program to do it properly?

RiotZ · Jan 6, 2011

A model's quality is based on.. Number of Polys, and Size of and Detail of The Texture..

The larger the texture the higher res it is.. The more polys the more normal the model looks.. Have you ever seen a model that has giant poking objects sticking out of it.. Have you ever seen a Grunt's hand? They are deformed and box-shaped because they only use like 6-10 polys for their hands.

M0rbid · Jan 6, 2011

Actually the size of the texture does only matter to a specific size in warcraft 3 as long as you use the normal game camere, 1024 x 1024 compared to 512 x 512 is not really a difference visible, while in a closeup there is a big difference visible.

Anyways: On topic, have you tried to adjust the colour of the selection circle to the UI, if that is possible ? (not sure wether possible and goodlooking, but maybe worht a try)

Larger textures still increase quality, they also increase map size.

I tried doing so, I think it is possible to change the color.

M0rbid · Jan 6, 2011

Well, read what I said, and realise I am right about it....

But I would say this is rather offtopic....

GhostThruster · Jan 6, 2011

Bones take up way more space. Like 100kb of the model when put together. Reason why I say this is if there are lots of anims on the character models.

Miss_Foxy · Jan 7, 2011

Will there be special content if played on single player?

Grievous1 · Jan 7, 2011

Not really the project is more build for multiplayer but you can play with bots at singelplayer.

Miss_Foxy · Jan 8, 2011

Okay then

I'm sure it'll be a great hit once released.

RiotZ · Jan 9, 2011

I've done extensive research, and I do not believe it is possible to change the selection circle's color. It may be possible to do so inside of the map's archive.

Sorceress · Jan 9, 2011

I know how to. What color do you guys need?

Hugomath · Jan 9, 2011

Hey Grievous, now that you're working on that Star Wars project, I wonder if it will affect in your job with this one.

De.Facto · Jan 10, 2011

We've already tested the demo. Grievous is nearly done with his work on Paranoia. Fireeye is currently working on the tweaking of the combat-system fixing the leaks and other performance-updates. Due to the lack of coders, and the amount of work which hasn't been done so far, I would like to call your attention to our recruitment-thread. Two of our best coders are currently inactive.

Miss_Foxy · Jan 10, 2011

Hmm... I'm not that good of a coder though, maybe I'll just stick to ideas.

I think its impossibel because I have already making color tests with it but If you really know how to change the color than its will be great to have a grey colored selection circel.

Sorceress · Jan 10, 2011

I'm sorry but it really is the easiest thing in the world lol.
(Made a black one for a friend once)

- But i will make the Gray ring for you tomorrow or something.
mmkay?

The black variation is easy (because if you reskin the texture of the selection circel in a other color than white he will have the black color) but a colored one we will see but in anyway thanks for your support. have a nice day

Miss_Foxy · Jan 11, 2011

I remember seeing colored circles somwhere...

Sorceress · Jan 11, 2011

ehm np. You 2.

Grievous1 · Jan 11, 2011

Miss_Foxy said:

I think the selection circel is not really a very important thing for the project itself but I think I musst remember all followers that all what are you see is just in an alpha stage but for sure I open for changes and ideas also we will see what the user eMo2LoVe can do for the project. I will show you some progress at sunday if I will find enough time... over and out

Miss_Foxy · Jan 11, 2011

Sure

I'm sure we'll be able to do the coloured thingy.

PS: Don't worry, you guys just need to focus on the main part of the project, me and my group of friends will be helping you guys find out how to edit the color

Edit: This is gonna be harder than I thought, have you tried editing from This Link Here Might Be A Mistake, I Just Searched On Google And Saw Some Keywords In It somewhere or maybe This Is The Closest I've Got, It's Something To Do With Creating Circles Under A Character. If all else fails, maybe doing a custom Trigger for it would help :x

@TheSillyGirls(Emo2Love\Miss_Foxy): I don't mean to be a massive fucking asshole, but, there is no god damn way to make a colored circle.. I've tried everything for my map. A sexy shape is as good as you can do.
If me and Grievous can't find it, nobody else can find it.

@Grievous1: I think it would be best if you kept a custom circle even without the awesome colors, it adds an element that makes the game feel less like Warcraft. Either that or remove circles all together to make it more realistic.

Miss_Foxy · Jan 12, 2011

Well, I'm sure you'll be able to find some substitute for the circle problem somehow, I'm looking forward to it

GhostThruster · Jan 13, 2011

Ah, thought of custom auras? Just make a dummy ability, use a custom selection circle models, and some triggers to detect selection. Done!

Miss_Foxy · Jan 14, 2011

What about make the circle change color using character tint? I've seen that once.

RiotZ · Jan 14, 2011

Miss_Foxy said:

That doesn't do anything. Tint only effects the model itself.. The circle isn't part of the model, Ghost's idea was the best..

GhostThruster · Jan 15, 2011

And maybe if you use GetLocalPlayer, you can even have the selection circle shown for certain players.

Miss_Foxy · Jan 15, 2011

But Riot, I've seen somewhere that when a unit recieves a buff (For example, a frost slow), it changes tint and there's one instance of that affecting the circle color.

Miss_Foxy said:

Nope. Frost affects model tint, the circle isn't part of the model. I am a nobody on THW but I have mastered World Editor, there is no way to change the circle color to the best of any members knowledge including my own.

Miss_Foxy · Jan 15, 2011

Hmm... So the dummy unit would be one of the few ways to do it? Maybe make it's circle really small so it can't be seen, then use an aura as the circle but without a dummy unit?

A dummy unit and an aura are the same thing in this instance they would both be required to make it work right. And that is not one of the few, it's the only way to do it.

Miss_Foxy · Jan 15, 2011

I'm sure if we think out of the box long enough, we'll find a better solution

Like having the circle as part of the unit model.

GhostThruster · Jan 15, 2011

Oh yeah, baby! I discovered the only way! I discovered the only way! I discovered the only way! I discovered the only way! I discovered the only way! I discovered the only way! I discovered the only way! I discovered the only way! I discovered the only way!

PPPPPPPPP

@topic: That's a bad idea. That circle will appear permanently then even when you haven't selected the unit.

Foxy, stop trolling me lol, there is only one way to do it lol, and that's the way Ghost said.. In my opinion that's way too troublesome just for a color change..
