Apocalypse

[Craka_J]

Ah, bullet holes might look nice. A dark iron boarder would look cool too. Maybe something that looks like the Starcraft II wallpaper boarders?
~Craka_J

 

[red_eyes]

yeah, that could go really well

 

[Kofi_Banan]

For now it looks sooo Great
Will the file size be rediced to 4mb so it can be hosted on Bnet?

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

The map is meant for BNet gameplay, so yes.

 

[Gausslander]

Perfected Banner

BANNER:

-Added Heart Background
-Added Blood Outline
-Brightened Letters
-Added Blood Drip

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

Brutal rape of my picture, the background looks good but the light red "blood drip" looks bad.

And I can watch deleted posts you idiot, so deleting past comments does not work. You may fancy yourself better than me, fine think what you want, but make your own logo then instead of just adding a few details to mine to prove just how much better you claim to be. If you can scratch make something better, without the use of a premade font, then I bow down and admit you are better at image editing than me. If not then stfu or gtfo.

 

[Gausslander]

Dude... not nice! I deleted it because I was loopy from surgery and I didn't want to hurt your feelings man! I apologize. Sincerely.

 

[Craka_J]

Easy with the hostility Ragingspeedhorn. Although, you are correct that him claiming he is better for false reasons is a bit irritating to say for the least. I do not want this hostile behavior within the Apocalypse Development Team. It affects your work on the map and although making this into some personal competition may actually help make the quality of this map maybe look better, it is in fact a bad out-look when brought on public forums.

Ragingspeedhorn's criticism on your version of his logo was pretty accurate though. But to add on to it, I don't know if the 'Heart' in the background is cool either. Apocalypse is full of destruction, chaos, massacre, hate, extinction, death, pain, and so on. Sure the heart can symbolize all that by being covered in blood (Even though hearts naturally pump blood to live, not die) and in a dark background, I personally don't think it looks great. And the light red as Ragingspeedhorn had said does look a bit... perhaps abnoxious would be the word. Also, ask Ragingspeedhorn (The original creator of the logo) if you could work on his piece and perhaps improve it. If he says no, it is expected that you should respectfully not touch it and create your own.

I'm sorry I had to explain this in a public thread, but I think it was for the better good to help understand that I will not tolerate problems like these. Next time, I might end up having to remove one of you from the development team in order to keep things in line and in order. I really don't want to do that, but if it happens, you're pretty much telling me that I must. Your understanding and respect to behave better, at least in public threads and chatrooms, is certainly appreciated a lot.

It's m'kay, I already told HappyTauren that you fired me xD. I didn't think that I'd even get away with it this time because you guys are real tough on the "getting along" thing.

 

[Craka_J]

I'm not very big on firing people quickly unless if they've stolen content. Especially if they've done something for the project.
~Craka_J

 

[HappyTauren]

I am making my gravity gun, wip comming sewn111

 

[Craka_J]

Can't wait to see what it looks like. But try to keep it at a low file-size if you can please!
~Craka_J

 

[HappyTauren]

here it comes, gravity gun the almighty!

Oh, and filesize wont be higher than 20kb, since model uses ingame textures

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

Looks pwn HT!

Very good model.

 

[seruk]

Excellent! GJ with the in-game textures.

 

[Craka_J]

It is perfect! Fantastic work HT, especially for a model that uses in-game textures as well. Rep'd
~Craka_J

 

[HappyTauren]

okay, if you need any other weapons redone just tell me! I have magic hands...

 

[Craka_J]

Thanks to my rep, you now have 2 blue jems.
And I certainly will contact you for another weapon. Actually... I just remembered another weapon we need... a Flame-thrower. I'll try to find some referance pictures later.
~Craka_J

 

[sk8er754]

nice

Maps looking really good. Thats a lot of work from customizing =). I like the idea of bouncing a grenade off the wall to kill a monster .

 

[Craka_J]

I'm still debating with myself if we should add a jump feature. But I think that would lead to a lot of annoying bugs and waste a lot of time, so most likely that won't get in.

I sure hope Ragingspeedhorn did some good work on the terrain of Apocalypse while I was away this week.
~Craka_J

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

No progress has been made during this week. I have been busy most of the time and in the little computer freetime where I had nothing else to do I didn't feel like working on Apocalypse. I might get something done today though.

 

[Craka_J]

Damn. Guess next week will be the week we complete terrain then.

Anyway, I might be able to pursuade my dad into letting me on his PC. But it is very doubtful.
~Craka_J

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

I've now done some terraining and made a thread about the project @ Thehelper.net where I've vastly updated and improved the content from this thread.

I'd recomend you to update this thread to match mine at TH, Craka_J!

Here is the content in a text file. I've spent a lot of time on this, to much probably

 

[Craka_J]

Editted the first post as requested.
Mind on telling me how to add hidden tags to make the post look smaller?
~Craka_J

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

I don't think Hive supports hidden tags sadly.

[ragingspeedhorn]

Thank you for the information, Hereto!

 

[Craka_J]

Thanks for the help! Updated the first post again with hidden tags.

[Moontraveler]

I noticed that it takes place during 2012. Which is the year that is widly believed to be the start of the Apocalypse. Was this intentional or just a coincidence?

 

[Craka_J]

Coincidence actually. And actually, the first three years of the 2000's the Apocalypse was supposedly supposed to happen was announced in the 1990's that it'd be 2019, then later on 2001, and now it is 2012 apparently. I think I chose a really good date though for the Apocalypse since all of this technological upgrading with weapons and so on and the production of the Father Of All Bombs and stuff like that. Not to mention Global Warming.

'Background Story' is the thread where I am developing a background story with a better explanation of the Apocalypse and so on.

It is a Work In Progress, but for now it is just an idea of how it all came to be. I bent the reality of the cause by bringing in demons and hell.
~Craka_J

 

[Gausslander]

Yeah, I'm working on an alternate story, when it's done it should be in least 20 pages long. Hopefully, it will make a little more sense. No offense, I like the story and all, but I just think a more "epic" storyline will fit this "epic" map.

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

How is terraining going, Scyth-Master. As you are the one with the newest map.

 

[Craka_J]

Yeah, keep working on the terrain. Work on the story when either me or Ragingspeedhorn has the map next. Send me the map on Friday. Through E-Mail is fine too.

[Jaakko]

oO

Where can I get that iron fence model etc.?

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

Not all of our models and skins has been released to the public.

 

[Gausslander]

Alright, I added a couple of buildings, and made a giant crater that lets you go through some of the bigger closed in areas.

 

[Feanor_]

The terrain looks amazing. Probably the best modern times terrain ever done in Wc3.

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

Thank you Feanor_, good to hear you like our work.

 

[Gausslander]

The terrain looks amazing. Probably the best modern times terrain ever done in Wc3.

I'd have to disagree with you on that one. This terrain (I know this for a fact) is not as great as dictated in the screenshots. Even though some parts of it might be... good-looking, they're not completely dynamic. Only some of the terrain is completely openly fun and entertaining, most of which are garages and open ruined plains. We still have a lot of work to do with the terrain.

 

[Craka_J]

Huzzah! Apocalypse has finally gotten hosted at The Hive Workshop!
Let us rejoice and continue the support and interest of this project at the new area which we are hosted at here.

I would like to thank all those who participated in the project's development whom made this possible, and I'd of course like to thank the Hive and its staff, including Ralle, for all of its support and hosting.
~Craka_J

 

[Gausslander]

Hazah! Great job, Craka. You've finally gotten something done that benefits all of us, once again, great job!
