There's no issue that I'm aware of. What was your exact problem?

 

[Gwy]

I gave the rule to the worker to build an shipyard. I saw the green plan of the shipyard in water. But worker dint build.
Dont know why.
I was on Ter 4 with the castle.

I'm not able to re-create the issue. Probably you had something blocking the pathing.

 

[Gwy]

This time i tried to build a mage sactum... and the workers couldnt do it...
look in replay

 

[Gwy]

here replay

 

[Kam]

Both times I saw you issue the build order there were peasants blocking it.

 

[Kam]

There are some exciting updates here for the Naga, and heroes have been buffed significantly. Enjoy!

I just here to tell you that your mod is really good , but I found a problem the ironback ( naval turtle unit) when it atacks my game crashes and says "critical error" and yes I have the latest version of warcraft 3 ( 1.26a ).

edit* just noticed this the iron turtle only causes the game to crash when you use the F ( attack ground button ) , just wanted to tell the creator of this mod this problem.

but again very good mod , good work.

I have released an update. The host bot has been restarted as well.

Have fun!

 

[Kam]

I've had requests for a 6 player map for months now. I started today but could use some direction. I'm using the city tile set with a few village tiles. On the left you'll see an earlier idea, the red dots are primary and expansion mines.

Thoughts?

 

[Kyrbi0]

Was just re-reading your first post, and saw this:

I've seen many Naga races but I have only seen one that felt complete.

Thing is, I haven't released my Naga race yet, so I don't know how you managed to see it... ;D

Who was it?

Power of Corruption.

I am of course biased but I also feel like mine is well developed.

Well I should hope so. ; )

Hey Kam,

these maps are really great but I wonder whether it is possible to play against AI or not? In my case they simply do not kn how to do anything else than building food supplies ...

Do you have the latest map? They should be working fine.

 

[Emm-A-]

i downloaded it some days ago from the hive, i will download it once-more though.

I just played a normal single player game and put in some hard enemies. they kept building burrows etc.

 

[Kam]

It's always possible but I thought I had them all working.

 

[Emm-A-]

Unfortunately in my case the AI does not work, I tried with one 4 player and two 2 player maps, that I have downloaded. These maps are still great, but it would have been better to see how it goes against AI players.

None of the AI work?

 

[Emm-A-]

not in the maps, that I tested. Tested with normal enemies, 100% handicap, all random races, single teams, so nothing special.
It did not matter, which race, they always build supply buildings and keep on farming gold.

can you maybe test it yourself and see if it is my wc3 or the maps?

it is not really important though, it would be simply cool to have the AI ...

Lost and Naga AI are functioning correctly. Orc and Human build all of the Burrows and Farm Depots at once for some reason. I will work on correcting it.

 

[Emm-A-]

Hey Kam,

cool this is true, I did not realize that.
However, the AI, after 30 minutes, tended to stop exploring and simply stood still in their bases. The workers in the attached screenshot all stopped to work after an attack of mine and the enemy hero did not attack despite I was attacking their base.
10 Minutes later in the same game, after all that happened, every unit in the game got stuck and I had to close Wc3 by task manager, so there was some infinity loop going on (probably) ...

Dont get me wrong I do not intend to make your maps look like they are buggy or what, in contrast, I think they are excellent, I just try to give feedback. If you prefer me to not report any bugs anymore, please tell me.

 

[Kam]

Absolutely tell me when you have a problem. I use the standard AI editor which is unstable at best. I will work on this and make sure it gets fixed. Sometimes it requires that I remake the AI file.

In the meantime if you want to play a person I have free time after today until Monday.

 

[Emm-A-]

thats cool I may have time on the weekend, I write you a pm in that case

Good luck with the AI

I've got Orc and Human working again so I will need to remake them now.

I'm not sure on Naga.

 

[Kyrbi0]

Woah dang, what's that building on the left?

 

[VeljkoM]

That would be BtT Orc Barracks. No idea from where though.

I got it off XGM, you will find it somewhere in this section: здания, постройки - WarCraft 3 - XGM: Gamedev & Modmaking

In fact:
The outpost belongs to this pack here.

A somewhat shameless add here:
I'm am writing, with Kam fixing any grammar errors, some lore for the Beyond the Throne series.
It can be viewed here and here

The have added models since I last saw that! Thank you.

 

[Kam]

Would you like to see the vanilla heroes return with some tweaking and new models?

 

[Kyrbi0]

I mean, sure. : )

 

[Kam]

My thought is to reintroduce them for Orc and Human along with one of my own creation, likely the Technician for Orc and the Grand Sorceress for Human.

I am considering what to do about the Undead heroes - I may also bring them back and simply reskin/model them.

The Naga will have the vanilla sea witch.

Preview for you:

 

[Kyrbi0]

Pretty sick, man. Nice usage of General Frank's new Drone thing, eh? I really like his attack; how did you accomplish the pseudo-laser beam style? He's not attacking *super*fast, so that rules out "continuous stream of projectiles"... Is it a custom attack SFX with a long trailer tail?
