This map makes me horny I love the idea and the screenies... This project should be followed through with.

 

[De.Facto]

I'm currently working on the first great isle.

Furthermore I should stop the development, because there's a lack of activity - and organization - throughout the whole devTeam except one or two people.
Coffeeholic, our Project Leader is offline since 7 days. So guys, get active on the closed board now! I won't spend my time/energy just for an unfinished dead-end-project.

 

[medion555]

I don't now where they are and they are doing ....

de.facto send me the map I wanna see it

 

[El3mentGamer]

Awsome name! Awsome idea! It sounds really fun. Seems a bit complicated tho ;P anyways if its completed ill play!

 

[indomitable1319]

Three letters. O-M-G.

 

[chanan12]

Looks awesome. Keep it up. My activity in down now b/c my comp is totally trashed.

 

[indomitable1319]

Whoah, what happened?

 

[dead-man-walking]

Did you need Model Concepts? I would love doing some for this.

 

[medion555]

I sure do cuz I have to make them . If you could make some I would appreciate.

 

[indomitable1319]

I got a few ideas. Why not make a save/load system that stores "Air Points", and with more points, you have the choice to stay with your old ship, or give up ALL of your ships for ships named after the makers of the game. Like The Ap0calypse, The Indomitable, etc. But of course those ships are stronger. And a ship model idea, place a Tauren Head on the ship's front, to show that they are strong.

 

[takakenji]

@ takakenji, nice! thats alot of info. Will you make the quests in game?

on, no, i can't trigger for life, all i can do is make the quests ideas, you have to put them to reality

btw ill make a human starting quest now that i did the dwarves if you guys want

 

[De.Facto]

Don't arrange the quests in advance without any current vJasser/ZinC-Coder. This is giving us no adventage at all, even though you're working on the lore/some tasks.

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

Actually it's probably best to do that now - that way you don't have a coder sitting around doing nothing waiting for someone else to finish the quests. If you get it all organized in advance then it's easier, and quicker, the actually code it.

Also it's quests, not complicated systems. You don't have to be so particular in the type of coding it's in, someone willing to it in GUI will work just as well - that is assuming they do it leakless.

 

[indomitable1319]

No feedback on my suggestions?

 

[takakenji]

alright then should i or should i not make the human starting quests

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

I'd say go ahead but I believe that's probably the project leaders decision.

Wait, Coffeeholic is the leader? I could've sworn it was either ap0 or chanan.

 

[De.Facto]

.. take me to the stand-by position until your core-team is fully available. These state of things are unacceptable, beyond that coffeeholic went completely offline.

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

Well if Coffeeholic is unavailable, we should probably put someone new in as the director until coffee returns.

 

[dead-man-walking]

Can anyone answer this?

[WherewolfTherewolf]

I believe a 2d artist is something that is required

 

[spider22]

Alright, this is a map that I am extremely passionate about and although I don't have any skills for this type of work other than my pen and paper I will take control for now to keep this project running.

First and foremost the starting zones are in the sky, at each of the specific Islands. There are is an island for each race the elves' one being the most dramatic and spectacular. Each is a starting area. (cept for the elves). We need to organize this up and we are having SERIOUS problems with people knowing whos doing what. I will attempt to organize now seeing as all the other first-people are either broken or dead.

Okay. So. We need to start this up...I have never made a map or led a map making team so I don't know how things come together. But I will create a plan now for us all.

*YOU MAY WORK ON YOUR VARIOUS THINGS BUT THE TERRAIN -MUST- BE FINISHED IN ROUGH FORM TO BEGIN WORK...right?* If we can do things without the terrain and then piece it all together at the end SOMEONE TELL ME so I can edit this and create a more accurate guideline.

1. Terrain: We need Islands for each race. Elves the best looking. We need 1 or 2 for the pirates. We need the half the map to be the "mist" it is not as vital to the map as the islands so do the islands THEN the mist.

2. Models: We do not totally know what the models for this map will be, I think that should be discussed at a later date aight? If you are making models by all means continue because we love models either way.

3. Quests: Starting area quests can be written out and planned....They are going to be on the Mist Island so we need short quests for what class you are (You know, pirate or trader) I guess that means 2 for each race. @Takakenji That quest chain is wonderful but yeh cant go down under the mist until you have the money to buy the builders. Its strictly for a mini-strategy game that you can play.

4. Items: Brainstorm for now guys. We cant really implement these until the terrain is done, right?

5. Music WORK IT UP BOYZ! Isn't it done already? Will be implemented upon final.

6. Coding: I don't know if you can implement pre-created coding into a map? I really just don't know. If you can then we will do it but if not you have to start from scratch one the terrain is done?

Also we need to decide whether the only unit you have until you do something in the mist is a ship thats your "hero" much like Battleship wars. OR its more like Bloody Pirates where you have a hero thats a humanoid AND a ship hero. I think we need the second of those two for quests, right?

Hope this helps you all, lets also hope Coffee gets back and Chanan fixes his computer.

 

[chanan12]

Off topic: Zomg im back. My computer lost all its applications and third party data. Soooooo im reinstalling everything.

Sooo, im glad to see things have been trudging along while i was absent. Everything so far is !STAMP! approved

I believe a 2d artist is something that is required

Yes. a 2D artist is needed asap. Im moderately good at editing existing skins made by blizzard, but making something from scratch is hard. i also think that since the skins will be in the map only and probably not uploaded to hive, you can use those pre-made textures that you copy and paste. I will not accept any bland or unshaded work. i expect it to be top notch! I shall judge it! (with help from yall... )

 

[indomitable1319]

How about my suggestion?!

 

[Landmine]

@Indomitable: I can't say I like the idea. Saving points to get much better ships is not something that would fit. I recall someone saying that you can only get 1 kind of ship (depending on your job), but you can upgrade it with whatever. If anything, have neutral ships with the sames, or secrets in the "Mist".
As for the map:
At least someone is willing to take control. If required, I can be a tester. I'm pretty busy with my own project to do anything else.

 

[chanan12]

Well seeing that the projest IS actually moving (even if it is at a mega slow rate that makes me cry) Positions remain the same unit the person in the position releives them selves. I wount want anyone crying over getting "kicked" so

already answered yes we need concepts

O-M-Gesus beautiful terrain is the terrain a tileset skin?
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

Okay I have some recommendations... The races definetely need reworked they don't make sense <_>. These are some of their notables that they should have.
Races:
Orcs: High Damage, High Health, Slow Movement Speed, Slow Attack Speed, and Stronger Crews.
Goblins: Low Damage, Medium Health, Increased Regeneration (Ability), Fast Movement Speed, and Weak Crews.
Humans: Medium-High Damage, Medium Health, Mercenary Recruitment, Medium Movement Speed, and Good Crews.
Dwarves: Extremely Durable Ships (Moreso than Orcs), Low Damage, Slow Movement Speed, Powerful Abilities, and Average Crews.

Your described stats for these races don't make much sense to me... Like Orcs having high damage but average health?
You should add crews that you can dispatch from your ship onto isles so you can capture them or such?
You should also add a stealth race the Undead... Low health, High damage, Invisibility (Ability), Weak Crews, and a 20% chance for dead crew members to reassemble after death.

You also need to make each ship have a captain that can be dispatched with crew members.

 

[Tleno]

Kinda hard to believe that's warcraft!

 

[chanan12]

Right-O to the other forum i go. even though ive tryed to tell you i cant find the thread

Edit: i tryed but it gave me error...

 

[supertoinkz]

Awesome project is awesome

 

[medion555]

Right-O to the other forum i go. even though ive tryed to tell you i cant find the thread

Edit: i tryed but it gave me error...

you need an acount and de.facto needs to add you to the list to see the closed forum contact him via private message and send him your username on his site

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

I've noticed that everyone trying to open the map on De.Facto's site has had odd errors with their browsers, I scanned the map and there's no viruses but still it's odd - I've never gotten this sort of thing before.

Edit: Hmmm it seemed to work fine this time

Also, we should continue development here too, mainly since everyone already has an account on this site, and it's an easy site to check. I'm not saying disregard DF's site, I'm just saying it's also a good idea to update here for the people already following the thread.

 

[chanan12]

i opened yhe map and my WE is broken....the rough dirt is for some reason white....wtf...

 

[medion555]

i opened yhe map and my WE is broken....the rough dirt is for some reason white....wtf...

thats his "sky tile" you guys have a custom one i believe ? maybe we should import the skin into the map he uses.

In the mean time my main computer crashed (darn) and lost all my models, but on my extenal harddrive (thats what suckh a thing is called in english right ?

 

[chanan12]

Yea i fixed it, but its still annoying. The map looks good so far.

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

Going on vacation for a week - won't get anything done until I get back

 

[chanan12]

Im going on vacation for the rest of the summer in about 2 weeks. i might bring my computer, but i will be in greece soooo its a big difference.

 

[medion555]

so this project will come to a standstill ?

 

[De.Facto]

erm, medion - no? (; When I'm in the team, and the rest of you is still motivated .. there's always a further development. I'll keep working on the terrain .. but I'm also very busy during these days.

 

[indomitable1319]

De.Facto! Please allow me to see the stuff on your forums... I can barely do anything there...

 

[medion555]

erm, medion - no? (; When I'm in the team, and the rest of you is still motivated .. there's always a further development. I'll keep working on the terrain .. but I'm also very busy during these days.

That's good to hear
Soon I'm going on vacation for 18 days will maybe come online there a few times but after the vacation I should be able to model again and do the final touch on the ship.

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

Soooo any updates?

 

[medion555]

The project is probably death no need to follow it anymore

 

[indomitable1319]

Not dead, just on hold. I've checked the forum in the CLR Forums, I'm sure De.Facto's workin on something.

 

[medion555]

Ok good news for you like I told you I didn't have milkshape any more and i still dont have it

[PROXY]
