Huge COOP RPG: Testing, terrainer, graphics, translation (German -> English)
Hi there,
The Power of Fire needs some help to get finished: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/map-development-202/power-fire-260235/
The Power of Fire is probably the biggest German RPG mod. It uses a custom .EXE file which allows you to exceed the limit of 8 MiByte (unlimited power!
).
It's a bit like a mix of Gothic and Diablo. Nice dialogs and story + endless fights.
Bear in mind that I want to work with others as a TEAM. If you make your point it really will be considered since in the end the result is most important and this mod shall not suck!
Terrain
There is already some terrain but it could be improved A LOT:
https://diemachtdesfeuers.wordpress.com/screenshots-and-videos/
Therefore the project really needs a (skilled) terrainer.
You will work with real texture models and get sent the custom MPQ and map with lots of real texture models.
It would be great the have some really beautiful locations and do not worry about the doodad or file size. It's a a mod with few limits!
Graphics
The project needs 3D as well as 2D graphics. Many icons for items and spells have to be replaced. Note that the project does already use MAINLY custom resources.
The settings dark and of course medieval. If you like that please join the project!
Balancing/Spell design (German would be useful)
Each class has 15 different spells. There are 9 different classes and up to 6 players.
For all situations the map should work on a basic level. Since there is an optional PvP you do not have to worry about PvP balance.
No spell should be too strong nor too weak. All classes should have their advantages. This mod should not result in one where only two classes are chosen since they are simply too strong.
Besides there are many different creeps and bosses which should vary in their difficulty as well depending on the area where you fight them.
I myself are not an expert on balancing since I am the one who writes code and creates quests etc. I need some one who likes to play many maps/mods on Battle.net etc. and who really cares about the balance!
Besides some spells might be simply wrong at their place and have to be replaced. The project is open for new ideas!
It would be useful if you speak German since all spell descriptions are in German at the moment. Many spells can easily be explained in English or are based on wc3 spells anyway.
Testing (German would be useful)
Are you interested in RPGs? I need your opinion and your time to test the mod! Report bugs or quests you don't like or anything else.
More testers would help me to improve the mod.
Translation (German -> English)
Currently the WTS file with all strings contains 15733 strings which have to be translated (some of them have already been translated by me). Many of them are repetitions since there is an ability for each level of a spell so it sounds like more than it actually is. Anyway, it is quite a lot stuff since there is many units and spells.
If you know German and English you can help me translating it. The dialogues and video sequences as well as quests etc. are translated directly in the vJass code by me.
The dialogues must also be translated: http://gitweb.wc3lib.org/?p=dmdf.git;a=tree;f=src/Talras/Talks
Each file contains many tr("") calls which must be replaced by tre("", "") calls where the second paramter is the English translation.
If you are interested in any of these areas just contact me.
