Big project here guys.

[Enkei]

Ok so im looking for some people with some free time, and alot of determination. This map is a 480x480 ocean. there'll be tons of islands serving different purposes. 6 races. Spellbooks. Save/load codes. Six island bosses. One big badass boss. Tons of boats to select from. Tons of items. Tons of quests. Tons of side quests. Tons of unique features. (i already filled up a black&white composition book with ideas.) Basically i need a badass terrainer. Nothing fancy enough to make the map over 4000kb (un-hostable), just enough to make it interesting. I need an items pro. it may seem like an akward position, but there are going to be some very unique item functions. Of course, the expert triggerer. every team needs one of them. I've already got a spellbook/spells pro. And the last position is the Boss fights. Even mini-bosses. no one wants the final boss to be 5 minutes of melee combat. We need spells involved.

So, i understand you might be asking.. "so what is this kid gunna do?" Well, i am well-rounded in all of the above departments. Also, i'm the one with the ideas. So far every time ive hosted my map to test something, everyone has been very excited.

I know im a new member with like, no respect. but that doesnt mean im a bad guy.. i know you'll love me =D. just msg me with whatcha got.

I'd be glad to be a beta tester. I don't know if you need any but the offer still stands.

I don't think you'll enjoy my skills; no JASS skills what-so-ever.

 

[Enkei]

yeah sure id openly invite anybody who wants in on this project. i can feel it. its gunna revolutionize WC3. we can only hope. The map only supports six players so if my other helpers are unavailible ill msg you. my WC3 acc name is enkei (same as this one)

Sounds good. My account is Parabox.

just wonderin, 480x480 with 6 people? i think you should reduce it to 256x256, that is huge bro. Id be interested, i could be our systems director. Example: Profession system, alchemy system, mining system, transportation system, airship system and whatnot.

I'm a decent terrainer, I'm assuming you want tropical themed islands? or multiple themed? you can make a map appear bigger by scaling down units too BTW, people do that a lot. There is no real reason to make a map with no or too few doodads (unless its an arena or something. Even then you still should have a few)

 

[Enkei]

thanks for the ideas and yeah im scaling the units down, but i chose 480x480 because i want the islands to be complex. like, very large. i need to fit over thirty islands in this map. i could make the units tiny.. but how would a .1 scaling value unit look in comparison to a dirt texture. the pebbles would be bigger than the unit. you can only scale down to a point, and my goal surpasses that point. And yes i need mostly tropical islands. But there will be a fire, sand, wind, poison, ice, and light island, which wont really be to friendly looking. I have already terrained the entire map, but its not too pretty. Anyone interested in looking at my ideas, just ask for the map and ill talk to you in game. Also, i was hanging over this one issue. New chars and Load chars. If you load, obv you wont want to watch all the cinematics and shit for a new char, so im gunna skip that. But how do i incorperate new chars with that? i need to use fade filters to make cinematics black screens, and you cant enable a black mask to be for one player. its for everyone. Any ideas?

I am afraid 480x480 will lag online because its not made for it. But nobody has tried it yet. So maybe it will work just fine

 

[redscores]

It wont work, trust me, i tried it, WEU can mess up a whole game with 480x480 (causes often desyncs and heavy lag)

 

[Enkei]

what do you suggest then? i suppose i could redo the map in 240x240. but i need help. i need helpers real badly.

 

[oXReapeRXo]

you might have to scale it down, if there are islands that don't need to be in the game cut them. I know it sucks but hey, remember SC2 is coming out.

 

[redscores]

Sc2 is gonna be boring... because you need to pump the sc2 games ridiculously up to create a fantasy game, you will have just sci-fi units, so mass imports required.

 

[Holmst3dT]

I really like the islands theme but I would like to see a preview.

 

[Pimpslap]

Im a pretty pro terrainer. Not trying to blow up my own ego or something. But ive made some amazing maps b4. unfortunatly lost them all when my pc got hacked. :-(

 

[Hero_Lief]

I could terrain for you. I haven't been in a project this big. Anyways, heres what I can do.
Terrain
Icons
Websites
Ideas
I know it isn't much, but at least it's something. Here, I'll provide you with a terrain in a little bit. Lemmie boot up WEU.

 

[Hero_Lief]

Uhm. Might take awhile. All of my world editors aren't cooperating. Any idea what's going on?
