Anyways ill mark whos going to join in a table below. Once we have 9 we will get together and form the clan at a specific time. (for Lordareon realm)

Inverted
Teh B055 (Glowingorb)
Royalorc

 

[t3h b055]

Well i have to say in the beginning i didnt think this map would be that good, i stand corrected. IT OWNS .

 

[t3h b055]

hey daniel =D, wait are you getting WC3?

 

[Fimbus]

So this Combowhore clan is made on Northrend, right?

If it is, I'm in

 

[inverted]

Release Date Announced (ALPHA)
April 11th, 2008

Please note that this map will be released in alpha stages. As we only have 6 heroes that arnt 100% balanced, the game needs too be tested. Alpha and Beta stages are for testing. I could do this with myself and other developers and prolong the release date another two or three months but i prefer to have the consumer/player test it too see what they would like in the game. If you want to play a more finished version of the game, please wait tell the normal version is released, or beta. Alpha and beta are mainly for bugs and cannot be guarinteed to be the funnest game you've ever played. If your up for testing a game to make it ALOT better then play the alpha and beta, if not please dont bother. I dont want posts "this game sucks" thats why its in its beta/alpha stages.

 

[Royalorc]

So friday, what time are we launching Inverted? Its only 4 player too atm so we were thinking about making it hive only for the alpha testing.

 

[4rankie]

Im in for testing inverted, if theres still free space, after this you gonna play more World Of Warcraft?

 

[inverted]

[Royalorc]

Wait, are you at home? Im sick too lol.

 

[inverted]

EDIT:

Anyways guys heres a 2 lil bonus' i added to the game before its released check it out:

[Fimbus]

That loading screen looks nice!

 

[Royalorc]

Yeah, its sweet. The orc was kinda a hack of Wc3 game case. Did you do it yourself?

 

[inverted]

no i didnt do it myself. the sig of the guy is in the bottum right corner, hes from blizzard i think. The whole idea is its a dwarf and orc fighting, in combowhore you fight. see the resemblance?

 

[Zack1996]

nice loading screen, but its not really very original......

 

[Royalorc]

Ive never seen anything like it on Battle.Net. So, release tomorrow?

 

[inverted]

ill try but im still sick have been sleeping most of the day, c yall later

 

[UchihaSasuke.gr]

Ok,hope you get over this soon!

 

[Fimbus]

I'll cross my fingers
Even though it don't get released tomorrow I won't blame ya. I just hope you'll recover soon

 

[Duke]

What about mapsize?

 

[Need_O2]

Want a tip: Make the loading screen mdx play sound on loading start
Like: "Let the battle rage" orc saying
hard part is finding a sound

 

[inverted]

2.4 megs atm mainly because of minimap/loadingscreen pic both are blp but 100% quality. if i start to hit 3 megs then ill lower it to 50 or 75 depending.

EDIT: just saw your post need_o2 how would i go about this? i have seen the loadingscreen creator that makes mdx files but how do i play a sound in the loading screen.

[Japut3h]

My guess is that you used the "move hero to random point in region" trigger when teleporting your hero out of shops yes?

Well,i got stuck the first time i played the map.

Other than this,it seems fun,although the terrain is too void.Some props and environmental doodads would be nice.

 

[inverted]

Fixed, the download is updated with the fixed version.
Ill work on filling in the terrain in a bit.

 

[Fimbus]

Wuhuu! The map is out!

EDIT:
I've tried it out now
I found some bugs We've all made a spell at once (3 spells) and then we got major lag Warcraft closed and we got the message FATAL ERROR. Dunno what caused it though :S Found out that it's something about Le Frosty's spell Frostie
One of my friends didn't get kills on the leaderboard even though he killed people It's still a fun game though

EDIT: (AGAIN) More Bugs found. Oh noes.
You can spawn a place so you are stuck in the trees Trying to get a screenshot of the place

 

[t3h b055]

!BUG! !BUG! Problem with Combowhore, everytime you leave shop you get a window as normal. Then once the window expires it goes to 0:0 and stays, then when you enter shop and leave you get another one both work fine but they keep stacking.




Just put it like this so it was noticeable lol =D have fun fixing!

 

[inverted]

Kk fimbus im really glad you played my game!
anyways can you please confirm it was le frosties frostify spell? if not then ill just have to remake him completely because im not sure i can redo what u and friends did. Anyways what do you meen by weve all made a spell at once? And also what color was your friend? red, blue, teal or purple? thanks so much for testing, its all appriciated.

EDIT: I fixed the multiboard for purple, it should work good now. New version will be released later.

@ T3h B055 the windows for shop exile worked fine for me and my other testers but ill look into this. i know you spoke to me about it, ill put this at the top of my list.

 

[Fimbus]

Okay time for some pics
First pic is one of my friends that spawned in trees and was stuck

Second pic is the fact that I think that the Combat Text shouldn't be visible in FOW.

Third pic is me stuck in some other weird place.

Fourth pic is another one of my friends attacking (stuck at that weird place) from the shop.

These are bugs I've found.
Oh and btw, me (and my friends) still thinks it's an awesome map.

 

[inverted]

Thank you so much fimbus for all of your help and feedback. ill get on fixing these bugs immediately.
I've fixed all of the randomized bugs for shop leaving. And im trying to fix the shop bug.
Btw all your screenshots are in TGA format and are 3+ megs and its taking me forever too dl and then convert.
So itd really appriciated if before you posted up screenies if you could convert them too jpg. I know the hive likes that more aswell.
Again, thank you very much.
If you and ur friends are still up for testing can you test it out and all cast spells at the same time, too see if this is going to keep happening?

 

[Zack1996]

Wait, i think attack is an ability and you could use trigger- unit- remove ability attack from unit, not sure if it works, or you could try silence, i think it could disable attacks

 

[Lord_of_sausage]

You can make silence stop attack...

 

[Super-Sheep]

You can remove "attack" ability from an unit with the following trigger.

• Unit - Remove Attack from (Triggering unit)

 

[inverted]

Okay guys, version 1.0b alpha is released. Here is what i've fixed:

-frostshield
-h-bomb
-fixed shop teleporter
-shop exile > 45 seconds
-shop exile will go away now
-fixed some tree glitches
-added h-bomb too challenges
-and much more
-completely retextured the terrain
-added more props/doodads to terrain
-fixed multiboard wont keep track for some people
-increased price of stat items by 200
-increased price of tomes too 500
-removed spell combat text/xp text (gives away player positions)

scroll down for newer version

 

[Fimbus]

Hm.. In the new version player Red starts with a mountain king.. The new terrain is nice though.
Oh and btw, you might wanna check the Storm Seeker in my experience he is much better than the other heroes.
Keep up the good work

 

[Royalorc]

Hey tom, been doing alot for the game hunh? I wanna play it but ive been skiing alot, i almost hit a frontflip today.

 

[Zack1996]

Are there any triggered spells in this map???

 

[Lord_of_sausage]

Ay me matey, the aplpha is not goin to walk the plank!

hehe, i like the description of Le Frosty and Storm Seeker, gj

(I can t rep you...)

 

[inverted]

@ Zack1996. Bah, i attempted quite a few times but it seems that after the trigger is initiated there is no cooldown on the ability. I will revisit this in beta version but for now theres just this. and thank you lord_of_sausage, i like le frosties and stormseekers aswell. Royalorc did margs, which is pretty funny also.

 

[inverted]

yeah except it says mcdonalds. wtf is mccydees thats gay.

 

[Zack1996]

Try using Event- Unit starts the effect of an ability
or
Event- Unit finishes casting an ability
It should work

 

[Super-Sheep]

@ Zack1996. Bah, i attempted quite a few times but it seems that after the trigger is initiated there is no cooldown on the ability.

You can edit the spell cooldown from Object Editor tab, but of course you know that, so it cant be a root of the problem.
Show your trigger and let us to check it, if it doesn't seem to be working. It will work!

 

[Fimbus]

Just dropping by for a quick note. That monk fellah is way to overpowered if you buy that item that improves your attack speed. He will then be able to nearly stun-lock his enemies

Btw I'm going to test the new version with some friends later this week (they've been talking 'bout it all monday xD)

Yeah im not sure whats been holding it up. Maybe if i use "starts the effect of an ability" then do actions its acually stopping the casting of the ability or something. Thanks for the support.

Wow! im glad you guys are into it! Im gonna remake monk tonight make him more fair. Thanks for your input bro, hope you keep playing.

 

[Royalorc]

Its slang for mcdonalds noob. Anyway, im building another melee hero, im not into casters as much. I did half the abilities on centaur too so ive worked on every melee hero in combowhore lol.

 

[Royalorc]

Yeah, or i can just send him to you or i can try to get him finished and bring him to your house saturday and we can balance during the party. Dont forget the changes to monk we talked about.
