★ (6) Mass Destruction ★

[Illidan(Evil)X]

The stuff at the top is indeed a multiboard.
The menu stuff is made out of destructables, units and trackables. If you know nothing about those, then yes, I'm using some awesome method you don't know of.

 

[Jaijaibinx]

very nice, I tried and failed using that method, you truly must be awesome as you have mastered it

 

[Illidan(Evil)X]

I've tamed the beast :3

Also, the deathmatch mode is pretty much finished by now.

 

[Deolrin]

The icon looks bad imo. Hard to see what is it. Otherwise, TELL US MOAR :3

You can't tell it's a nuke?... Keep the icon, it's perfectly fine.

 

[PurplePoot]

Looks obvious to me.

 

[Super-Sheep]

But too solid. And golden.

Technically it's just an ordinary explosion. If you look on YouTube or something (I didn't look it up, but I'm pretty sure I'm right) for explosions, the bulk of the explosion moves upward and sort of dissipates in a black cloud of smoke with fire emitting from the base. Nuclear explosions on the other hand do something similar, except the base of the explosion (this time not referring to the surface area) is more narrow, long, and caves inward while the bulk of the explosion is always on the top, forming a mushroom cloud shape. There's often a ring of smoke around the middle of the explosion as well. The surface area of the nuclear explosion is also very wide, as is the top of it.

Technically the explosion shown in Sourc[e]X's button is an ordinary explosion. My guess is it's a grenade or car explosion. Judging by how the fire and smoke seems to sway towards the left and up in the image the way it does with a sort of shape within it, I'd say your best bet be it's a vehicle exploding. Could be a car, truck, or even a tank. IDK. Not enough details to really pinpoint what it is. HOWEVER, when I first saw it, I thought "nuke."

 

[Linaze]

It's really obvious, tbh.
It's an explosion and it says "Destruction".

 

[Illidan(Evil)X]

Interesting how the destruction icon suddenly became the most discussed topic of this thread.

Explosion

 

[Linaze]

Speaking of explosions...
No, just kidding.
The project, which I forgot to comment on in my last comment, looks freaking awesome!

 

[Jaijaibinx]

Sorry about all these random questions about your awesome systems, but I must know. You said you used destuctables, units and trackables. I was wondering, do you use preset areas of the map with these menu screen in them, or do you create them on the players screen and hide them for all other players, or somthing else?

Also Judging by what you've shown, this map will have a fair amount of imported stuff, will it therefore be only playable when the new patch comes with the 8mb capabilities?

On a more related note, I can not praise your talent enough, just was looking at your model video's on youtube... wow.. And on this project the design work is out of this world.. Good job Im looking forward to next update.

I'm using a small unreachable area in the map corner.

It will require the new 1.24 patch to play. Not for the file-size (1.6mb ATM), but for the new JASS natives used.

Thank you.
Next update ain't far away.

 

[noob134]

wait, so you cant release the map until blizzard releases patch 1.24?

 

[Craka_J]

Or if you play on the BETA server.

 

[Illidan(Evil)X]

A simple, yet effective scoreboard has been added to the end of each round.

OMG! I'M IN TEH LEAD!!11
Watch me beating myself in the next round!!!

 

[Craka_J]

I like it. Could use a mini-icon or more though to make things more... unique and identifiable I guess.

 

[Illidan(Evil)X]

I agree. I'll have to add something more to it.

*Three new screenshots has been added.

 

[Craka_J]

What will replace the gold, lumber, food, and upkeep values?
Level design looks pretty neat. The tiles are kind of confusing, but it all goes together.

 

[Kwah]

Your shit is always so polished. And I mean the shit part in a good way.

Nah, the level design sucks. It's just a test level anyways.
The player resources aren't used as anything.

I'm using a lot of time on polishing my shit.

 

[Jaijaibinx]

I have but one any only one criticism for this so far and that is the UI, I mean, I like the logo parts, but all the blackness just isn't really that nice to look at but thats my opinion take it or leave it xD.

 

[Craka_J]

Knowing Sourc[e]X, all that blackness will be replaced with awesomeness.

 

[Zack1996]

I'm using a lot of time on polishing my shit.

Lol.

Anyway, the blackness might look cooler than little weird icons. Nothing is better than something sometimes 0_o
Still freaking awesome, any plans on beta testing with people? If so, you we have some multiplayer-destruction-screenies xD

 

[TheHunterKiller]

God, that looks freaking awesome.

 

[Hawkwing]

Nah, the level design sucks. It's just a test level anyways.
The player resources aren't used as anything.

So would there be any way to make the 0's transparent or something?

 

[Craka_J]

Maybe make the text color black.

 

[Hawkwing]

That's what I was thinking.

 

[Illidan(Evil)X]

Unfortunately, there's no way to alter the resource amount's color/transparency.

 

[Craka_J]

Trophy icon was a good idea.

 

[Eleandor]

Unfortunately, there's no way to alter the resource amount's color/transparency.

Try to recycle the numbers. For example you could display Power, Armor and Speed. Or Hit points and Mana points (if mana is used for anything). Or the amount of kills vs the amount of required kills to win.

 

[Deolrin]

Or kills\deaths.

 

[Zack1996]

Trophy icon was a good idea.

Agreed.

Maybe use the resources as the timer thing

 

[Illidan(Evil)X]

For now, it'll be used to keep track of trophies awarded.

In other news; the leveling system is now fully operational.

Edit: Current award model:

Achievement	Award
Best of Round	1 Battlepoint
Game Bronze Award	1 Battlepoint
Game Silver Award	2 Battlepoints
Game Gold Award	3 Battlepoints

"Battlepoints" is like standard experience points, and a certain amount is needed to reach a new level.

 

[Craka_J]

Interesting concept. I like where this is going.

 

[Linaze]

I agree, interesting.

 

[Tank-Commander]

This game every1 can tell will be epic so epic that i will dedicate my user title to the game untill you stop updating it and such.

Btw i also watched ur beta footage for the game and it looks just too epic for words,


damn i hope a beta ver comes out soon.

as for suggestions maybe rotating turrets for epic battles?

 

[Illidan(Evil)X]

I've added the beta demo video to the first post now.

 

[TheHunterKiller]

...That video looks amazing, i love the terrain.

 

[Super-Sheep]

Lol, I liked the part where you could drop down the cliffs.

 

[Deolrin]

This... is epic.

 

[Switch33]

Unfortunately, there's no way to alter the resource amount's color/transparency.

Maybe there is? I think if you go to gameplay constants or interface and where the text display for gold is if you put an color code before it should maybe work? Worth a try at least. It would be the same color/transparency whole game though.

 

[Tank-Commander]

Any info about release date yet?

Or is it still unknown due to all the knew ideas u get and add to it?

 

[TheHunterKiller]

Will there be AI on the map?

No, it doesn't work. I've tried.

It's too early to set a release date. However, beta isn't far away.

Will there be AI on the map?

Maybe, maybe not. It's not my highest priority.

 

[Kwah]

I actually wrote a 2d game that was vaguely like this in Python.

Anywho, it looks like this is turning out nicely. Again, with the polish.

 

[Sheephunter]

Those Effects/Doodads is realy Great, And This map is Epic!
+Rep for making it!

 

[Gausslander]

Have you ever thought of a black fade filter over the 0's? That could work.

 

[Super-Sheep]

We need beta asap.

 

[Illidan(Evil)X]

The cinematic filter isn't applied to the user interface.

We need beta asap.

The waiting will soon be over.

New shot
