Advanced Techtree Contest - Recycle, Revise, Reinvent

[Rence Kristoff]

If it were forsaken, shouldn't we be not here?

 

[Spellbound]

fel would have done whatever arcane did x100 times faster.

 

[Kyrbi0]

But with horrendous HR involvement. All that paperwork; you Fel guys just have no sense of overhead in a business, do you? Arcane may take more people & more time, but since all of our workers keep their souls, that's a forward synergism with the companies' overall strategy.

ITT: No one is doing any work. : P I am ashamed. :<

 

[Spellbound]

Well I made a Discord channel specifically for warcraft 3 custom race making. I'll open it to the public later, but for now I want to give it a test run with a small group and maybe get some feedback. Anyone who wants to join the 'beta', PM me

Who said no one is : p

 

[Kyrbi0]

Can this be my PM?

 

[Spellbound]

Y'all need to send PM to me, or else I'll have 15 different "wc3 custom race discord" conversations in my sent box T_T. And I'd rather start adding ppl now rather than tomorrow after waiting for a bunch of people to "PM me!" and sending one large PM.

 

[Spellbound]

Well it's been a few days. I'll double post for the sake of bump. If you wish to join the techtree discord channel, click this link: Discord

 

[Rence Kristoff]

Someone still working on theirs?

 

[Wasabee]

Do I need to post a WIP before entering the contest?

 

[Spellbound]

you need to post a WIP before your final submission. You can enter by saying you're participating and either linking to the previous work you're modifying/reworking/etc or stating you're starting from scratch.

 

[Kam]

Do I need to post a WIP before entering the contest?

Yes, please refer to the OP:

If you entered it in a previous contest or have it uploaded to the map section provide the link(s). If you have not previously shared it please attach it to your post.

 

[Wasabee]

Here is my previous work for my entry.

Lets push to get some good WIP's done this weekend. It's about the half way mark in this contest.

 

[Rence Kristoff]

I'll just drop them elves here along with their buildings

 

[Rence Kristoff]

[Rence Kristoff]

So you have only three heroes?
Your troops look powerful

 

[GhostThruster]

yeah, too lazy to develop a 4th. i don't think a 4th hero really affects balance or strategic options all too much.

most of them are quite weak (attack damage-wise), so looks may deceive

 

[Kam]

After speaking with several contestants I am extending this to March 23rd.

Please use this time wisely.

 

[Kyrbi0]

Woo! I will try.

can i get bonus points for still finishing on feb 23rd? :3

 

[Kam]

Alas I will not do that. But guess what, you've got a whole another month to make your race even better! ;3

 

[Kyrbi0]

I'd be fine with giving bonus points, if my vote matters.

 

[Kam]

Fine, maybe I will. >.>

 

[GhostThruster]

guys i was just joking

 

[Kam]

guys i was just joking

No now you've started a thing. This is a serious place.

Really though, everything is fine. Enjoy the extra time. Make something you can be proud of.

 

[Eagle XI]

Hai guys, can i join ?
Loosely based on an old project of mine that got iced before seeing the daylight:
https://www.hiveworkshop.com/pastebin/5baa8ae688ceeeb1708bd5527d559bb39723/
synthesized with an overall scarlet crusade theme.

Be alarmed the map is currently broken, something conflicts with something somewhere, causing player units not able to attack the enemy. Probably in the triggers but i couldnt spot it, yet. (halp!)

Also has lots of things not yet implemented.

 

[Kyrbi0]

Awexome. The more the merrier. : )

Except eeeewwww, filthy Scarlet Crusade.

 

[GhostThruster]

uploading here to back up my code progress

the world editor is really limited in a number of minor ways that makes it difficult to implement basic features :/ e.g. triggering a siege unit's attacks to have a dust of appearance effect

 

[Kam]

Let's show some work this weekend.

 

[Spellbound]

@Kam Funny you should say that

 

[Kyrbi0]

Oh that's cool. "Holy Lurker" attack. I've always been disappointed in Blizzard's relative lack of interesting tower variants in Warcraft 3 (ala StarCraft & such).

 

[Kam]

Final stretch everyone. Let's post some work!

 

[Kyrbi0]

I've been a bad modder...

 

[Kam]

I've been a bad modder...

Chop chop!

 

[MogulKahn]

I've been a bad modder...

There is one old saying in my country that perfectly describes you: "Dog that barks, doesn't bite" (literal translation)...

 

[Kam]

Where is everyone progress wise?

 

[Kyrbi0]

I'm... Less far than I'd care to admit, and while I'm busy most of tomorrow, I'm dedicating all of tonight to get as much done as I can. I won't be 1st... Might have to cut some corners. But I should... DANGIT!! I knew I should've checked the deadline again! Before the extension, the deadline was a Friday... When it was moved up a month I just assumed it would be the same day, but it was February so it's a day back so it's TONIGHT, 9 MINUTES AGO!! Criminy!





...



Extension? Like 1 day? Lol...

 

[Kam]

Yea I've moved the deadline a month. Use this time to produce something unique guys.

 

[GhostThruster]

i've constantly been running into the most annoyingly stupid limitations of the world editor. from special effects (using DEFAULT models) not playing death animations, to the 'load' ability unable to work on a unit with flying movement, the list goes on. this has really pissed on my workflow.

the extra extra month is appreciated. but man if WE wasn't so frustrating, i'd probably be finished a week ago.

Ah, a whole month? See you guys April 21st. Thanks!

At least you've been working... :<

Funny you should mention that... I have had some issues like that, as well. At least with SFX.

 

[Kam]

Listen, for $99.99 I'll show you all the secrets of the WE. Blizzard will hate you! Ladies will swoon!

Use the time wisely my friend. =)

 

[Rence Kristoff]

Another extension?
Great, I could definitely finish it then,

Give me cool things to grade.

 

[Rence Kristoff]

Give me cool things to grade.

Then I should probably change my troops' skills.

 

[GhostThruster]

spells for casters almost completed, just need to refine code and sort out some bugs. still need to code beast & hero abilities.

race can (sorta) be playtested, if you only pick the Aldori Exarch as your solo hero, and build only Bastions and Sacred Cloisters for production of units. use "Invoke Naaru" to summon 10-food flying Naaru (hotkey N), build "Draenic Shrines" and adopt Aspects (hotkeys E & L) to unlock certain units/researches.

I am changing my race, and I'm doing faster progress on this one than I did with the Mystic Elves. (The heroes took me two weeks, finding effects, setting the data, thinking of what the base could be for the spell, and because I was busy.)

They are the Wretched. (The heroes here all have their own spells now and I just started yesterday, I'm only looking for effects now and fixing their data.)

Scratch the Wretched, my plans were not calculated correctly, they are too powerful, I came up with this while working. (The Mystic Elves were rather too complicated for me)

Hidden

There are four flyers, including one that has a land form
There are 12 ground units, not including summonables, but includes 2 mechanicals and the one that has an air form
There are 4 summonables, one of them has 3 levels
There is one special unit that is only available when one of the Wretched unit dies
There are four heroes
One hero has a slightly stronger/better alternate form
And there's the builder.

This is my final race change and the one I can certainly do, I hereby enter this competition with the Champions of the Light!

Well, this is it, the real final change, I'm going with the Wretched! I've found a way for the large strength in their numbers, though both Mystic Elves and Holy Beings will appear.

 

[Kam]

Those are looking and sounding good guys!
