Diablo 2 Team in need!

[Kaitech[SanD]]

So, here I am sitting, bored, just larking around in IRC 24/7 and then I get an urge to play Diablo 2. So I do, I complete it, then decide to make a campaign of it, and I was looking through the models section for about 30 mins so far, and found nothing worthy of putting in a Diablo campaign. So I r here requesting for all you great modelers and skinners to come together and help me get some attachments, characters and even main bosses, with almost accurate animes, link me to other sites, link me to decent models on this site, even make your own! Credit and rep is given, rep may be given in a long period of time but hey, at least you still get rep! Anyway, I wont be starting this 'til about Sunday next week, or maybe I'll play around making a few parts of the wilderness during my Contest. So, thank you all if you help, which I hope you do, and lets go make a kick ass diablo campaign together!

 

[FireEffect]

You expect somebody to make you tons of diablo 2 models when you havent even started your map yet? Yeah right. Now that thats out of the way, i MIGHT make a skin for you if you tell me what to skin and a reference model. I cannot model.

 

[Kaitech[SanD]]

I didn't say somebody, I said a lot of people Anyway, I have started, I have planned out the Rogue Encampment so far. By the way, did you read the part about I HAVE A CHALLENGE TO TEND TO ALL WEEK?

Anyway, I'm just privately asking some good modelers to create me a few animeless models and doodads at the moment so I'll PM you if he decides not to skin them.

~ Kaitech[SanD]

Edit: *Also I didn't say make me some, I wouldn't of minded a few raked in that look like Diablo 2 Units and Doodads.*

 

[Dr00d]

Kaitech said I could be in his campaign as an easter egg, so if someone wants to re-skin and/or edit the tauren model so it looks like the SS's to represent me, that would be great!

NOTE: I don't mean a WoW rip, I mean to edit the WC3 tauren model to look like the WoW character pics I posted.

[HappyTauren]

I am also working on hack'n'slash project so I could probably give you some systems later on.

 

[Kaitech[SanD]]

Cool HT it sounds good. I have decided that when you defeat Baal you get to go to a secret area to see all the people who get credits and you can choose them to be kinda like Mercenaries if you wish, like Dr00d will be exclusive to all testers! HT, I heard you are a fan of Diablo 2. Maybe you would know a lot about the game and what to model? You could become a staff member if or when my project becomes hosted!

Stupid Firefox dictionary can change Diablo to Deniable :S

 

[Direfury]

Kaitech,I've got a few ideas on how you could get your models,take a look.

If you can find a skinner,all you need to do for Rogue's is ask them to mix & match High Elf and Night Elf archer stuff then do a hair recolor.

Talk to the guy who made the Gondor Soldier about making an Ironwolf and then look around for the Barbarian model,its a pretty good D2 version,it just needs the bladestorm anim.For a Barbarian Hireling,just add a helm on or something.

If you request around,you might be able to get a modded Bloodfiend for the Mercenaries in Lut Gholein.

Some kid from Uzbehkistan made Diablo and Mephisto already,they're pretty good.If you talk to the guy who made the Gondor Soldier,he could mod his Swordsman to look like the Summoner.

 

[Kaitech[SanD]]

Umm, the summoner as in a Druid or what? I'll post a screeny of the 7 characters!

 

[Craka_J]

The summoner should be based on the Acolyte model.
~Craka_J

 

[HappyTauren]

exactly, it has almost the same anims And the HP lol xD just summoner is the stupidest unit in game, it has pwnage spells that kill your hero in one second and has so weak HP that you can kill him in one strike!
Ive got max so I can finally transfer anims from wc3 models to custom ones (meaning I can make all char models from scratch)
Though I wouldnt be much dedicated anyway, since I have to work on my own rpg and finish the goddamned stormwind environment and tileset.

 

[Kaitech[SanD]]

Yes, but who is this summoner guy? Necromancer? The Summoner in Act 2? STOP CONFUSING MEEE!

 

[HiTch]

The Summoner is the one who you will find in the last place in the Sanctuary. It is where there are different runes are located. I dont remember what he looks like because it has been a long time since i played Diablo 2..

 

[Kaitech[SanD]]

Ah yes! Necromancer would suit more, he has same animes almost!

 

[anton044]

i personally think the female human mage hero form the the rain of chaos campaign would fit better as a model for the summoner, but its your map dude so its ultimately up to you

 

[Kaitech[SanD]]

O.K. I have decided the necromancer as the Summoner. Might get the terrain started soon! Better finish this Challenge though.

 

[Kwaliti]

I'll do the attachments for ya, just tell me what do you need, cus I'm not making a gazillion of attachments!

 

[FamousPker49]

Hey, I could maybe do some terrain for you? Even though this is more of a modeling request lols, I just followed some link you had

 

[Valcrist]

too bad you cant have a random exit terrain for act 1 and 2 like in the real game

 

[v3Bu]

When I saw this thread I thought you could use this:
http://www.wc3campaigns.net/showthread.php?t=82622
It has some really usefull things especially a way to improve your stats 1 by 1 like in diablo, very cool...

Good luck with the project!

Sure, you can help, let me regain my strength from wasting nearly 10 hours doing this melee map that firelord backed away from!

No sorry, no random terrains, but you know in the orc campaign on TFT? I will work it like that!

[FamousPker49]

When you have some sort of planned terrain, just send me a pm and I will try to work on it

 

[Kaitech[SanD]]

I will plan terrain tomorrow, for Rogue Encampment through to the start of Underground Cavern.

Can I request someone moves this to the Project Discussion? This is becoming more of a project than some lousy requests!

 

[HappyTauren]

~Thread moved and renamed.

 

[Kaitech[SanD]]

Thank you HT!

I have nothing planned out as of today, and wont do until tomorrow!
I will organise and recruit a small team to start with first!
I am off to watch fireworks in a while so I will be out until around 8pm GMT

Here's the team

Kaitech[SanD] - Project Leader
Dr00d - Assistant Project Leader
Low-kwaliti - Attachment Modeler
Famouspker49 - Terrainer
Illidan(Evil)X - Modeler (Maybe only 5 models)

 

[FamousPker49]

ZOMG WHAT?!?!? Dr00d ahead of me.... Lol, don't care, anyway I havent played Diablo seriously, just once at a friends, so I have the whole idea of the game, but nothing on the terrain, so your plan will be helpful

 

[Kaitech[SanD]]

famousspker49,k I have lost my Diablo Discs, I am in the process of finding them! l0w_kwaliti could you maybe search around on The Arreat Summit and look for a few good items? Thanks in advanced, make as many as you want!

 

[Jacek]

heh... 40% of team are leaders (leaders = lazy dictators)

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

Jacek has a point, what will you and Dr00d actually do, besides from lead?

 

[Dr00d]

Write diologe, brainstorm, test for/fix bugs, things like that.

 

[Kaitech[SanD]]

Ask the team what to do etc etc.

Famouspker49, try googling a few images of the Rogue Encampment

 

[FamousPker49]

Ok, I googled it and I am not sure what is going on, but anyway this is going to be a single map so should it be as big as it can get?

 

[Kaitech[SanD]]

Single map, yes, but not insanely big, you may have to wait a while as my PC erased itself and I have to borrow the Diablo discs from my Dad so y'know!

 

[DesKaladA]

heay i might help...
i'm a good GUI trigger ok at jass and i have a lot of experince with dibalo

also i know how to turn dibalo2 sprites into .mdx files (- the anamation wont be there though)

 

[Belgarath]

I could do a bit of terrain for you, I just can't remember sh*t from D2, so you'd have to post screen shots. Is it LOD or not? Oh, and I can trigger a bit of GUI, generic stuff. No cinemas, I hate 'em. And, Jacek does sort of have a point, if all you're going do is test, write a bit of stuff and do just about nothing using the WE, you're going to have trouble keeping a team together. I don't really want an "uber - permanent position", I have trouble working on one thing over ages, but usually I can work on terrain for quite a while.

 

[Kaitech[SanD]]

Thanks Belgarath, I will post screenshots this weekend, seeing as my PC may be in a shop by tomorrow, and I must get my D2 discs...

Did I say single map for the whole thing? Nah, make it like the orc campaign in TFT if you could!

 

[DesKaladA]

so can i help?
i'm really good with this sort of thing

 

[Belgarath]

The orc campaign consists of, what, 5 or 6 maps, something around that. I think you'll need to do it one area and then the next, or chapters.

 

[Kaitech[SanD]]

Nooo, you don't get what I mean, it may just consist of 5 or 6 things INSIDE the chapter, but I mean like to get into the Kobold Cave and other districts. Like the trigger Campaign - Change Map. All I need is about 10-15 maps per act, not even that for act 4...

I would give screenshots but y'know whats up with my PC.

Des, sure you can! You can help with the triggering and all that. What do you mean by sprites? Extract models from Diablo and all that? If so contanct me in private about that.

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

I am still a rookie with doing modeling but I could try my hand at creating some anim-less doodads and such if skins are provided.

 

[Kaitech[SanD]]

O.K. Thanks RSH, need a skinner now

 

[Belgarath]

I think that famous can skin quite well. By the way, any work to be done? I like to know when to start and what I'm doing before I start.

 

[FamousPker49]

Yes, I could do some skinning, so who is doing terrain, or should we start on different maps? This is sort of your title as 'Leader'

 

[Kaitech[SanD]]

Well, do any of you two have Diablo 2? Because I could use someone to get screenshots until I get my PC up and running. If not and until then, keep trying Google Images!

 

[DaedraEater]

well, since im ok at some stuff, direct me to a task and i'll try my best!

just to say, i'll try my best at MAPPING, etc... am s**t at models...

Things to use for campaign...

Thanks for the suggestions but they need to be weaponless and look way more Diablo like than that mate.

 

[DesKaladA]

You know i'm a jasser and i'm rellly good with asembing campians

 

[DaedraEater]

um... while looking in the maps, it seems someone else got to make a diablo map, not a campaign, just a map... i think it might have some models or something we can use...

i dunno, just something for us to achieve to i guess...

here it is: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/resources_new/maps/4006/

 

[Kaitech[SanD]]

Please no maps, War 3 ain't installed

 

[HappyTauren]

DesKaladA, how can you type jass if you cannot spell English correctly?
