{Closed} Mounts

[3rgytr54]

Craka_J have you made a mount system yet? I searched this form and found nothing. I currently am working on one in GUI (scream at me now) so that I can upload it to the Hive and have "Joe the Plumber" (someone please, say something) edit it to mach his map specs. It currently is using olofmoleman's wildkodo.mdx in the model section. It is a item ability where the item is based off Crystal Ball and gives an effect like avatar. (WIP)

Just would like your thoughts

I belive the reason it's not made yet, is because it's way easyer to make than the other basic WoW systems, it's just to assign a model to the casters feet/or even change the whole model, and then improve the movement by 60% or 100% which is pretty easy done..

What really is hard to make, is the models of the difrent mounts..

 

[3rgytr54]

models when they are attached only play stand animations, that is the problem.

 

[DarkAngelAzazel]

I once did it by creating a new unit which is exactly the same like the other unit and attach the "rider" to the "mount"

 

[Craka_J]

We are intentionally leaving Mounting out of the mod for now until we get more higher level areas done. Maybe after The Barrens and Ashenvale are finished, I'll consider getting the triggerer(s) to work on it finally. But for now, mounting is irrelevant since we're working on noob zones currently. And in noob zones, you'll gain less and less XP as you level higher and higher. So reaching level 40 will be pretty difficult and frustrating, but with the Barrens and Ashenvale finished, that means more higher level mobs, more quests, and more to explore.

I would suggest making seperate animations for each unit while sitting.
that way you could just have the mount be the attachment and only have to do a trigger for when the mount is moving and a trigger for when it isn't.

I know i didn't word it very well at all.

Level 40? Level 30 for mounts?


*Past Time Thought*
I've always wondered if were gonna get those retarded mounts where a orc warrior is still-humping a wolf that glides like a leaf in the wind.

Level 40? Level 30 for mounts?

That is somthing i havent seen in this forum. Since mounts now require level 30, will it be 30 in Wc3:WoW too, or will it be 40 like old days?

 

[Akinaga]

Plz b 40!

 

[X.e.r.e.X]

Prolly lvl 40 since WC3: WoW is pre tbc

 

[Craka_J]

Level 40 is the level we're sticking with as far as mounting goes.

 

[CloudMax]

That is what i call bumb
But its great news that it will be level 40.
Blizzard made it 30 only becouse people was to lazy and wanted them earlier.

 

[Avex]

You can just have a level 40 required spell that gives an SFX (Origin attached) of a Horse/Mount.

From this project, i have learned that its never as simple as you think.
Would be better if the model was created specially for mounts, what i mean is creating a morph animation for the model and also create a morph model for the model when its sitting on the mount, that would make it look much better then having an attachment on the model.

 

[Akinaga]

yeh LTGH, we cant expect so much from this project. Like the mount system. LIke craka said, It's not gonna be EXACTLY like WoW. i dont mean 'expect much' as in "wow this is boring' i mean like 'gee they put a lot of effort into this to make it like wow as much AS THEY POSSIBLY CAN!":

 

[Belgarath]

TBC is 30? Blasphemy. IMO a) mounts would be cool b) mounts should be 40+.

 

[CloudMax]

Mounts requires level 30 even if its classic, tbc or WotLK. If that is what you mean. :O

 

[niika]

before TBC came it was 40 but when TBC came it changed to 30 even if you didnt have TBC

 

[CloudMax]

before TBC came it was 40 but when TBC came it changed to 30 even if you didnt have TBC

Uhhmm. I just said "it requires level 30 even if you have TBC or not." And i think that everyone know that it 40 befor anyway. And did they change it when TBC came out? I couldnt buy my mount till level 40...

But thats not what this thread is about, it was just a question if there will be mounts or not. :O

 

[Craka_J]

We aren't making TBC. The mount level shall remain level 40.

 

[CloudMax]

Yeah, we (atleast i do) know.

Level 40 is the level we're sticking with as far as mounting goes.

^^
TBC destroyed wow tottaly, for the Classics!

 

[Craka_J]

Exactly why we're sticking with the original WoW stuff. Very, very few TBC and WotLK content will be added. Stuff like professions and spells are the furthest we'd go probably.

 

[3rgytr54]

Like 3.0.8 azerothian stuff or 1.(whatever) only? 3.0 simplified stuff
