Another great map!

 

[gtsimos]

looks nice

 

[Wolwy5]

I was making a same tipe of map, exactly the same way... ((

Now there is no point in finnishing it

 

[kleinerhauck]

lol, I should have uploaded it earlier I guess :/
Wanna work on this one instead? As you can see a lot of stuff is still missing.

 

[Wolwy5]

sure

 

[Bloodwing]

omfg need to test O.O
looks realy awesome. nice job *thumbs up*

 

[Switch33]

This is really actually quite nice; anyway i can take a look at the triggers you used to set the belt buttons sorta?

 

[TheShiznizel]

good work this is an excellent map i love it... one problem i just spent half an hour trying to figure out how to build or just play the friken game! i used the help buttons and and it talks about some ccons (wtf that ever could be) in the top left corner witch isnt there!?!

i know im missing some thing can some one plz point it out to me...

but overall you did a very good job!!!

 

[TwoVenomous]

i used the help buttons and and it talks about some ccons (wtf that ever could be) in the top left corner witch isnt there!?!

the icons that he told about is the icon that we can reach by pressing f1,f2,and f3. the f1 is used for placing walls to the dungeon, the f2 is used to destroy the things that you have added and the f3 is used for placing items like chest, armor stand, etc.

Here you go, I attached the complete map except Save/Load system and my custom uniques.
Feel free to use any systems you find, just give credit pls.
They aren't really commented though (or sometimes in German), so it might be hard to figure out what's happening.. especially since I was lazy and sometimes used global variables from other systems in cases it couldn't lead to a bug

@All: You can also use this version of the map to add new features, as I can put it back together in no time.

Thanks for the nice feedback, I appreciate it!

 

[deaththekid]

Hmmm let me test it
great map!

 

[Anchorist]

How did You do that bar with potions ?!

 

[kleinerhauck]

Just download the map 2 posts above yours ;-)
I used images to display it and the hero's smart order (or dummy units for hotkeys 1-0) to use the items.

 

[Dogzo]

so you create your own map of diablo by the name builder? C00l i like builders, i will host this

 

[toasted]

Looks fine, but you should fix green icons if deactivated/in pause mode by changing the path of the imported icons (black button e.g.) into custom path: ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtonsDisabled\iconname.blp

 

[Bloodwing]

first play was realy good . but i think i found a bug : you cant go back town with the stairs. you only get to the strairs to lvl 2... or i am just to stupid to build it right :/ but i tryed allready some things

I know how it works, but I wanted to keep the filesize lower.
Since you don't look at other hero's inventories in this map you really only see them when u press F10 or something, and imo that doesn't matter.

That's odd Bloodwing.
The level in the top left corner should always be connected to the town.. which dungeons did you use/how did you connect them?

I'm workin on a map with an inventory similar to d2's structure. Was wondering if you could help explain a bit of how you coded some of the things in this. Cause if so then I can try to replicate it in anarchon's inventory(already sorta working on sockets; magic prefixes/suffixes, merchants, etc) and some other scripts. I'm asking mainly because it's very hard to understand your triggers cause of the massive amounts of variables; and i think you'd have an interest in my project anyway. It's like this somewhat but with closer resemblance to Diablo 2 or Diablo 3 rather than Diablo and has some interesting other features that should be great like being fully in vJASS and save-able in MULTIplayer with FULL saves that will even auto-load! Heck your definitely free to join my project if you want as well.

Whats working with the inventory so far?
Sets; charms; sell; arrows/throwing weapons; and i think i'm close on figuring how to make an merchant system

You can also contact me via skype: Switch33

i didnt readed evry word of your message, but, if you want to ask somthing that doesnt involve reviews, the map gameplay, the map it self and any other, plz use visitor messages or via pm.
(p.s my comment is not about the map, but i hope ho ever comes here iwll read this message and understand if they want to ask somthing)

 

[kleinerhauck]

Well what things do you want to have explained?
I created various trackables, saved their 'ID' and the player they 'belong' to in a hashtable (look at the custom code trigger (first in the list)) so I knew which player is clicking on which trackable.. that's it basically.
I suggest you make a new thread in the help zone if you still have questions, you can send me a link to it as PM I might have a look at it.

But before have a look at this tutorial about trackables.

This map's characters are saveable in multiplayer too btw ;-)
Don't wanna join ur project but thx for the offer.

 

[GangSpear]

Suggestions:

1.)The vision of the heroes,really annoying sometimes ==,also when become builder,sometimes the place have black spot,it annoying,quite black,i just suggest use vision blockers?

Bugs

1.)wtf?I haven't put the lever,it say maximum already,can you fix this problem?
2.)Hmm,sometimes the object unit doesn't appear,but it say already maximum,maybe the object units invisible? wtf?
Quite Interesting,but i hate bugs = =,

 

[kleinerhauck]

What's annoying about the heroes' vision? That walls block it?
When there are black spots you probably haven't set your light settings to high.
But usually this shouldn't happen since the lights are created first when you click 'finish dungeon'.

As for the bugs:
1.) You are right. I added the limitations at the very end and didn't test it with levers before I uploaded the map :/
I fixed it but I think it's too unimportant of a problem to upload a new version just for that.
2.) So this happened with other objects too, or are you still talking about the levers?
Note that multiple object types can share the same limits (e.g. the chests and the shrines etc.) and that you can't place too many objects at the same spot.

 

[GangSpear]

Hmm,i talking about the objects,sometimes,if i put the object,but it is invisible,i can't find it,i must use Clear All.

 

[kleinerhauck]

Then it probably just isn't created.. objects dont become invisible, theres no trigger doing that^^

 

[GangSpear]

Yea,but it isn't created,there still say the object unit is reach the limit = =

 

[Bloodwing]

ok so i am on again and just wanted to say that it was my fail in linking the dungeons. found out now^^
only 1 question : how much spells are in this version? only found firebolt , holybolt, infravision (pool), charged bolt (stuff) and heal scrolls... or are there more?

 

[kleinerhauck]

Yes there are more.
With 1 or 2 exceptions you can find all spells (also Hellfire spells), but most of them require a higher char level.
You can find the requirements in Jarulf's Guide.

 

[Bloodwing]

i had luck and found a book of inferno^^ this answered my question allready
but when you make a duration of items you should also make the char skills... when i remember right warrior was able to repair stuff and mage with staffes.


also now i found a bug :
when you use a infravision shroll and saved after i used i got the message :
'You aren't allowed to save because you used a cheat code'... well i just did 2 lvl and saved befor but would sad when i play until lvl 14 and use infra and later i cant save befor i kill dia

 

[kleinerhauck]

gonna fix it, but I don't think the scrolls are causing it.

€: Yes it must be something else.
€: New version online (1.0b with some other fixes too, see presentation). The bug had to do with indentifying items @Deckard Cain.

 

[88WaRCraFT3]

awzum 5/5 i loved it just from name. First i thouth it would be like other maps simple cuz of really low size and all that stuff, but then i saw that potion bar and all that... dude you're genious, idk how you binded units with triggers but for info that's epic... i'll check triggers later.
this seems dumb but well idk how to play it correctly... i created dungeon and everything i marked it as finished, used -play... and how to get in dungeon ? how to play it :O
Edit : I am really bored to watch all those triggers, could you tell me how you binded units as 1 , 2 , 3 ,4 etc without player doing it manually ? please ?
Edit 2: i found 2 bugs, first potion bar can be hidden if comming behind building or other tall building second disable camera rotation lock camera cause those units aren't binded to camera, try scrolling down or up you'll see them at top of screen
Edit 3 : How the he** you know when somebody pressed ctrl ? if you want i can tell you how to check when somebody presses 0 or ", delete" on numpad or delete , insert and space too

 

[kleinerhauck]

So did you find out how to enter the dungeon?
There are stairs in the north of the village leading to the dungeon in the top left corner.

About the hotkeys:
First the player has to hold crtl and is forced via trigger to press 0,1,..
Then he is forced to press the numbers again and if the dummy gets selected I know that he was holding CTRL before, otherwise he didn't.
Somebody else had the idea before though

About the belt icons:
Them being behind something else only happens in town, no big deal and I don't wanna readjust them atm. And why would you scroll the camera in the first place.. but if I make a new version I'll have a look if it is possible to disable the rotation.

 

[88WaRCraFT3]

Yeah i finished dungeon... i gone in hall and it says, Next dungeon isn't ready yet :O also i love the way you work + how you can you know if binding was sucessful or failed ?

 

[kleinerhauck]

Yeah i finished dungeon... i gone in hall and it says, Next dungeon isn't ready yet :O

You have to build in the top left dungeon first.

how you can you know if binding was sucessful or failed ?

Read my post again ;-)

 

[88WaRCraFT3]

oh epic you're one of coolest guys i've meet here, i mean map builders you're like me gui only needed to make everything epic
i was creating super mario map 2d i nearly finished it and i had to reinstall windows i've forget on wc3 maps i lost everything
Edit: i used a lot of epic stuff, i mean like slams and other things not a simple super mario i was working also on diablo projects and all that, but you ? you made this awzum! best map i ever played. Could i edit it ? i mean maybe make it bigger ? change models and all that stuff and make something like campaign ?

 

[kleinerhauck]

I think it is big enough, but it if you want to improve the map you could make some spells for random bosses (then I would implement the bosses themselves) or create new models (if you know how to) or add something from the list in the presentation.

If you want to do something else/create your own map feel free to use any of the systems from the map, just give credit.

 

[88WaRCraFT3]

ofc well i can create any spell you want i am really skilled triggerer
But i never played diablo so idk how spells should look like
i still didn't try any dungeon i am busy with homework...
well if you want me to create some spell or something just tell me.

 

[kleinerhauck]

I'm not @Home over the weekend, maybe next week then.

 

[88WaRCraFT3]

k np

 

[88WaRCraFT3]

uhuh sry for double post but i don't think kleiner could see this post, so yeah..
topic : can you tell me how is potion bar trigger called ?
edit : nvm found... i tried same way as you did and all i get is brown picture -.-

 

[Bloodwing]

i found an realy funny and sad bug : gargoyls kill them self... they cant attack but they die in sight xD pls fix it^^

 

[Giotto]

I found some bugs.

I liked the map a lot. and I don't like build maps.

1- Character gets stuck forever, maybe when using ESC menu.

2- Enemies can go through portals.

3- Gaps on walls when you don't use cross shaped wall on corners.

4- I loaded my char and my stats were like 2000 str 5000 mag, 4000 dex.

I liked the Diablo feeling, and the stats. the items requirements, the sounds etc.

So, Good Job, wish you could fix and add those stuff missing.

 

[kleinerhauck]

Wow those are some severe bugs, they never occured to me, except 3) which isn't a bug. You are just supposed to use a cross shaped wall for corners ;-)

Did you use a code to load your character or the game cache?
If you used a code, are you really sure you copied it right? (Of course it shouldn't be possible to even load otherwise but there's a very small possibility..)

I'll have a look at those things (also the gargoyles) in the next days.

 

[Giotto]

I used load code with the + command, using Check while saving, then I saw my stats were OP. Also I got new random effects on my blue items.

I also tried to become hostile, but It only worked for some players and not all of them.

The getting stuck hadn't happened to me for some games, but the other players somehow got stuck. (in those games there where leavers)

I think I got stuck while changing spells in a hurry so maybe there is something in there that stops the character while changing spells slots.

When I got stuck I tried a lot of possibilities to get "unstuck" but nothing happened. Once I think someone who was stuck used -new to get a new character and was still stuck.

Just after dying I could move the "dead body" for a while if picked at the right time.

Another thing I saw was, If I had 2 or 3 books of the same spell, after using 1 all the others disappear, same with scrolls if used with right click (hotkey was ok)

Tried doing -edit and -play to reset my character position but nothing.

Like I said I really liked the map, wish I knew more about world editor to be able to help or create my own maps.

It would be good to add a Starting dungeon(no drops just gold) because players loose patience really fast when I'm making the maps, even with help from other players editing.

 

[kleinerhauck]

Sry I didn't fix anything yet, but the term break is over and I don't have so much time anymore.. and finding out what causes those bugs takes a lot of time :/

 

[Malsonde]

What is the inventory system you used if i may asked or how did you set it up because im trying to do one where its a chest leg boot arms and helm char equipment and i would greatly appreciate it, very well done map 5/5

 

[kleinerhauck]

I made it myself.
There is an unprotected version available for download in the 11th post.
It basically uses images and trackables, just have a look at the custom code area (at the top of the trigger list) and the inventory triggers.

I suggest you make a new thread in the help zone if you still have questions, you can send me a link to it as PM I might have a look at it.

But before have a look at this tutorial about trackables.

 

[Dogzo]

When i create a dungeon ,it says the next dungeon is not completed but i push the button: make the dungeon finished

 

[kleinerhauck]

You probably didn't start with the dungeon in the top left corner. That's the 1st dungeon you are supposed to build in. In that one you can set the next dungeon though.
