B & W

[savage25]

I am working on a map based off of black & white 2. If anyone would like to help or would like additional info, PM or IM me.

 

[MaraBackman]

There are a lot of monsters that could by simple re-skinning be transformed into the creatures seen in B&W. A gnoll could easily be used as the Wolf by alphaing out the weapons and by otherwise making it more canine in appearance.

I'd be glad to help out

 

[savage25]

[ssj2_Gohan]

isn't black and white 2 a little too complicated for the wc3 editor ?

 

[Jacek]

@ssj2_gohan: There isn't a way to make game similar to b&w. You can build something close to Starcraft, Red Alert 2 but not B%W it is completely different. The goal of this project is to make something similar and based on B&W not copy of the game.

@savage25: i think we must start making some stuff )

 

[Kimbo]

so its not B&W? oh well, il just make a map of B&W then..

 

[Kimbo]

i have made u:
tiger creature
tiger creature good
tiger creature evil
all with icons but no portrait, still workin on it, but go look in the models section 4 them.
i plan on makin the wolf, cow and turtle.

 

[ssj2_Gohan]

U can make something like have people train them in soldiers... and have a big pet with extreme helt and hp ....but you can't make the pet learn from its mistakes like in b&w.....but b&w 2 has upgrades and stuff to directly train the animal....instead of spending time with it ....till it actualy lerns the spell =))

 

[N00byStance]

@Werewulf: Can't you just create a camera for these models instead of making portraits? That's simplier and less in size. (you can use Magos' new tool )

 

[Jacek]

so its not B&W? oh well, il just make a map of B&W then..

It is but you can't make COPY of B&W on Warcraft 3 engine it is game limits. But the map is B&W.

 

[savage25]

Map

JaceK is right and knows what he's talking about. He is helping me with making the map. We still need a name tho :?

 

[Kimbo]

well i know growth system, hunger, and poo system if u r makin B&W map ill use magos tool then.

 

[savage25]

System

:shock: Thats good. Thats really good. Thank you. :twisted:

 

[qwerty]

poop? skin a thunder lizard egg brown. lol.

never got to trying B&W2 though. only B&W. so is the map going to be multiplayer?

 

[Claudz]

if you know what ur doing u can make a map like a total copy of black and white, I dont really see any problem why not 8)

 

[savage25]

Multiplayer

Actually qwerty, one of the reasons I'm making this map is because b&w2 was not multiplayer, so yes it will be multiplayer. As for the poop, if we did use the thunder lizard egg we'd have to do something about that sparkle . Claudz, something I've been having troubles with is the fact that b&w2 has 3 resources, ore, wood, and food. I thought I'd try it like this, ore-gold, wood-lumber, and food-food. However that just doesnt work. It might have to do though, atleast until I find another way.

 

[Claudz]

I would set upp a leaderboard with the resoursec and have them all as varibles there instead....
Cause i really dont like to make things the easy way..lol

 

[savage25]

Leaderboard

That really does sound like a lot of work. :? Right now it's not neccessary, but if it gets to that point I'll notify you.

PS: I need someone to start terraining for me, I suck at terrain. If you would like to terrain for me PM or IM me, you can also email me at [email protected].

 

[Claudz]

It really is, but without work the map wont be any good, right. hehe.. I use usely use like a couple off hours on each ability on my heroes when i make maps.. 8)

 

[savage25]

Work

Don't get me wrong, I know a good map takes a lot of work. 8) It's just that I'm a little busy with the other things in the map. I have to get everything down like the seperate tribe choosing along with choosing your creature.

 

[Claudz]

Yeah well if you dont have time. i would gladly help ya out alittle, just dont to much.. lo.. making 7 maps at the moment. And i do love black and white

 

[savage25]

New

Ok well, what there is so far,
-2 tribes(greek & japanese)with 2 more to come (aztec-ish & Norse-ish).
-Altar(replenishes mana so you can cast more miracles)
-Field(feeds up to 15 people for each field)
-Armory(converts villagers into soldiers)
-Roads(Place roads to make your town look good)
-Walls(Horizontal & Vertical for defense and keeping others out)
-Houses(Villa & Manor)with 2 more to come(skyscraper & slum-ish)
-Graveyard(not sure what it'll do yet, maybe revive people)
-Granary(needed to build over 4 fields, besides its pretty when surrounded by fields)
-Gate(Lets people into and out of your town when open and keeps people out when closed)
-Garden, Well & Fountain(Once again makes your town look good)
-Cage, Torture Pit & Spikes(Makes your town look evil)
-Village Store(Basically your Town Hall)

Any more suggestions? :twisted:
