Wrong place but that almost naked man looks sexy.

+rep

 

[Kwah]

Waaayyy to go Aero.

Although, this does look rather awesome.

 

[Tauer]

That's just awesome. Are you gonna release the system? Pretty please?

+REP !!!

 

[D a w n]

looks awesome

 

[Hawkwing]

That's spectacular.

Are you gonna release the system? Pretty please?

Pretty please?

 

[BlinkBoy]

Moved from modeling & Animation to Triggers & Scripts. Please avoid posting these kind of material again at the modeling forum.

 

[Kwah]

Blink, he's showing off those models as well, so it was semi-legit.

 

[Hawkwing]

Yes.. semi. I'd say 49% Modeling & Animation and 51% Triggers & Scripts.

 

[TriggerHappy]

Are you using DGUI framework?

Also, did you make this in vJASS?

 

[reza sword2]

Holy shit. That's awesome.

+rep

 

[maskedpoptart]

HOLY SHIT. i think i need to change my pants...
can't wait to see this system in action! (+rep)

 

[Suomidude]

Can I have your skills please?

 

[Thyrael]

Wow, so many nice answers

First at all I am sorry that I posted into the wrong forum, sry ;(

Also, did you make this in vJASS?

No, this was so far completly done without using vJASS. I used several workarounds. And yes, I am sure the script would be shorter if done in vJASS. Nevertheless it dosent leak for now(I tested it by using a loop picking up 10000 items).

That's just awesome. Are you gonna release the system? Pretty please?

I'm not sure, if this system can be used in other maps without a huge amount of work. First at all isn't MUI for now. Along with the "script" there are several models I have made, f.e. the UI (background, buttons/icons the dummiehero but filesize < 70 KB). But if I remove some of the features, the system will be able to use in customs maps. Never say never

Can I have your skills please?

Don't give up. With some time and training everyone can make such a system/model.

 

[Just_Spectating]

The game demo you showed is pure win

and I say Bravo Warcraft editor. almost too much can be done with it.

Id never have guessed its possible to make custom frames like that? O.O

Or was it just a really huge multiboard?

The UI contains of custom models. One for the background, one for the buttons/icons and one for the dummiehero. The mouseover and clickevents are triggered with trackables.

Could you release your models/icons then, I'm sure I could make something similar to this, and release it.

 

[Just_Spectating]

damn this is RPG's taken to the next level!

so advanced!

 

[bounty hunter2]

God this looks great!

 

[PurplePoot]

Eh, I've never been a fan of trackable-based inventory systems - they take forever to make but not much thought (which has always been a turnoff for me in coding), and tend to be a hindrance to gameplay.

Meh. Nice animations and equipment models though (can't say I was too fond of the character/goblin skins).

 

[cool_is_i]

damn, excellent system looks amazing

 

[Daveydude]

1: Totally Awesome. Love it.
2: May I suggest you using the old item slots as a quick access area?

 

[Megafyr]

That's really awesome! You deserve this little +rep. : ) Looking forward to play our map. ; )

 

[Thyrael]

*Push*

Added another preview(1st post), have fun

[Jack_Sparrow93]

Looks awesome!!!

 

[KelThuzad]

Pretty please with sugar and cherry on top?

 

[TriggerHappy]

It's a good idea he doesn't release it.

As he said before it's in jass, and not in system form. It was made to fit his map.

If he releases it, all of you gui users are going to complain asking for support, and wondering why it doesn't work.

Anyways, it's a nice system.

It's not that hard to implent jass scripts in another map...even GUI user like me are able to do so.

It ISN'T in JASS it's all GUI. But you are right. It was designed to fit into my map at first.

After it's complete I'll think about releasing it in system form, but that will take a while

Nevertheless your feedback is welcome

If this was made it in GUI, then it's definitely not releasable.

Yes but if this was in jass, i'm sure it wouldn't be one simple jass script.

It would consist of multiple scripts, and your going to have to modify some of it to make it fit your map.

Not to mention all of the destructables/abilities for the icons.

EDIT: Didn't realize I double posted.

 

[Just_Spectating]

How's Thy progress progressing?

 

[Thyrael]

Added another preview(look for it in first post) of the updated inventorylook, the tradewindow and charinfowindow.

Have fun

Thy

 

[KhaL]

This will be PERFECT for my new ORPG, unless it's too big :/

 

[Just_Spectating]

absolutely idolizing.

 

[Thyrael]

Added anothter preview. Focus is on the charinfowindow, have fun watching (video can be found in the first post).

[Kercyn]

This system should be implemented in TBR!

 

[moosenoir]

Have you done any terrain screenies?
________
INNOCENTGIRL2 cam

 

[errorz]

how to make things like that?

 

[Thyrael]

Have you done any terrain screenies?

Nope, I haven't start terraining yet. I am working to get all the needed systems/functions to run. Cause after they are ready, I can simple copy/paste them and the needed units/item/doodads into the real map. Before starting terraining I have to finish the story line.

 

[Airandius]

That's so 100% not true, most people use GUI and not jass. You can say all you want GUI this JASS that. And you'll nagging will be correct.
But some people don't have the time to learn an entire new language.
Blame me all you want, I stick with my terraining and simple gui. It's easier to use for people like me.

Oh hey, system looks nice. And I'll be honored if I could help you terraining. xD
But how nice that system might leak, I bet it was a pain in the * to make. I'm sure of that. xD

I think he was commenting on the fact that big advanced triggers can't be organized at all in GUI, and at the end, the only one who'll understand what the hell they do is whoever wrote them.

As to "learning a whole new language" - Jass is so hard to learn that it takes around... err... one day.

 

[Silvenon]

Wow! It would be sweet if you release the system, I'm sure many people will use it (like me, for example).

EDIT: And yeah, JASS is effin easy, but vJass is even more easy.

No flaming or anything, but I don't have the brains for Jass.
I'm better with people then with math, coding etc at all.
Just because you and others can learn it easy does not mean that everybody can learn it easy.

It's like everything in life, I understand fine that 2 + 2 = 4, but I've seen plenty of people going: WTF WHY over simple stuff like that. They are not dumb, it's just not for them.

Same thing for sports aswell, I'm a good fighter, but when playing soccer you'd better grab yourself some other team mate as I always miss the darn ball.

Not everybody can be good in something. That's life.

EDIT: If Jass is easy, then come and teach me. If you don't you have no rights to tell me it's easy as I tried learning it and never understood a thing in those tutorials.

 

[Lord_BoNes]

Dude, that preview is completely sexy. It's awesome how you've got it looking!

I must admit, the fact that it's done in GUI and not in JASS is a bit of a letdown, though. But, if/when you decide to release it, I'd be happy to get hold of the GUI version and convert it to JASS, and then hand it back to you, for you to distribute...

Yeah, it is a bit of a letdown, but it's quite impressive for GUI too

Be sure to convert it to vJass if you'll have the chance.

 

[Airandius]

Also keep it in GUI for those who don;t use jass and vjass.

 

[Silvenon]

What we were trying to say is that systems are better as JASS, GUI systems are really hard to make, since it's hard to make templates. Even if there are some good GUI systems, they are either really simple (and this one is not) or they are hard to import.

No offense, I was like that when I was doing GUI, always running away from JASS, "I don't want to learn JASS, get it away from me" I used to say. Then I started to slowly move on JASS and then I never did GUI again.

It was really worth it, especially with the new extended JASS things are really easy, fun and efficient.

Besides, you work out your brain cells more.

 

[PurplePoot]

GUI stuff is horribly difficult to modify or follow in general.

And that isn't an opinion.
