Diablo II BETA ver. 0.75

[MeDiOcRe]

Wow this is cool

 

[pewil]

Amazing work! Just wondering how much time you've dedicated on this?

 

[Vodzoo]

Mass of time and I'm still working over it further.

 

[Skudgemuffin]

I tried downloading it and I just get a file called "hmdw9RHC.part"

WTF?

 

[Vodzoo]

I uploaded it once again. Should work fine now.

 

[Vodzoo]

New version available.

0.42 changelog:
- abilities points increased form 4 to 5,
- window with statistics points doesn’t popup automatically after your hero gains level (there is new icon below hero’s icon),
- little changes in graphic (terrain fog, lighting, etc),
- added some new effects (blood after killing monsters, filter when opening inventory/abilities),
- mercenary’s attack speed decreased,
- some little changes.

There is a problem with updating the map so for now I give you direct link:

I admire the whole work You put into this map, it required both great mapmaking knowledge and a lot of time, but I must say that in my opinion, you didn't take the right direction :/

The interface is very unfriendly and definitely not comfortable. For a good skill picking system, look at this map:
Abyss Gates v1.3 - The Hive Workshop - A Warcraft III Modding Site
Also some beta version of next Heroes & Armies had a nice one, a whole tree that appeared on the screen, but I don't really remember the name, and there's a lot of fakes of that map.

For a good inventory system, look at this:
TKoK: Eastern Kingdom v2.02beta - Warcraft 3 Maps - EpicWar.com

Attribute picking is fine, though I'd rather have it as a shop, not those tabs. Here's another example. I'd recommend generally checking this map out, it get's boring, but there's a lot of great ideas in it that might inspire you.
Tomb of Jarahcon v0.95a beta - The Hive Workshop - A Warcraft III Modding Site

Rexxar's campaign is a good example of an enjoyable RPG campaign.

Terrain could use some more love, the caster model doesn't really fit, just a normal Blood Mage would be better, but that's my opinion.

And now what's flawed the most, imo. Gameplay is so plain. You just run around and kill creeps. For an RPG to be fun in wc3, you need to make some AI action and/or interesting quests, not just "kill and fetch item".

And finally. Why are you remaking a game in another game? It NEVER works. It would take a huge squad of top-notch mapmakers to make a wc3 Diablo map comparable to the original Diablo. And still, better solution would be to play the normal Diablo, than some wc3 clone.

To sum up. The quality is great, you showed some great skills in the mapmaking, but the result isn't enjoyable. It's just not fun to play, for me. If you continue mapmaking after finishing this, I hope you decide on making something more original and suiting the world of Warcraft 3

The interface is very unfriendly and definitely not comfortable.

I tried to do different inventory system than in other maps. I’m fully aware that it isn’t very user-friendly and if I know how to I would make it working with mouse-pointing style.

And now what's flawed the most, imo. Gameplay is so plain. You just run around and kill creeps. For an RPG to be fun in wc3, you need to make some AI action and/or interesting quests, not just "kill and fetch item".

Gameplay is the same as it is in Diablo (you kill creeps for better items and higher level) so if you don’t like diablo type of games it’s obvious you’ll find my map boring. This map is h&s not RPG so quests are rather an add-on.

And finally. Why are you remaking a game in another game? It NEVER works. It would take a huge squad of top-notch mapmakers to make a wc3 Diablo map comparable to the original Diablo. And still, better solution would be to play the normal Diablo, than some wc3 clone.

Never say never. I know it’s better to play original game rather than a warcraft version but I think well remade game it’s worth playing as well.

To sum up. The quality is great, you showed some great skills in the mapmaking, but the result isn't enjoyable. It's just not fun to play, for me.

Fortunately some people really like it.

If you continue mapmaking after finishing this, I hope you decide on making something more original and suiting the world of Warcraft 3

Try my RPG map (http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/maps.php?id=p6n6xa). It’s much more fitting the W3 world (I suggest you to download a Polish version Arcane MPQ :: Zobacz temat - Role Playing Game by Vodzoo - my English isn’t perfect ).

 

[Andriejj]

Well, remaking games in wc3 works, but for GameBoy games Seriously, remaking Fire Emblem surely could work, heh. But Diablo 2 is too advanced for that.

I'll check out the RPG, but in English. My warcraft is English, so I don't see Polish letters :/

Btw, it's Rogue Encampment, not Rouge.

Anyway, good luck with your projects.

 

[Wizardum]

Just one thing, the only warrior type class on diablo 2 is named as barbarian, unless it came with the expansion of the game... (just a thought)

 

[Vodzoo]

0.43 changelog:
- from now on you can only use a unique name for each hero (two or more heroes with the same name caused a game bug),
- added shrines with random buff (eg. damge boost, speed boost).

 

[visitorxyz]

I have save the man in the 3rd quest, I meet the man in the base but nothing happen. Is this a bug?

 

[Vodzoo]

Fixed in 0.44. Thanks for that.

 

[sethyboy0]

This map is excellent, beyond 5 stars. I don't care if it's not done, the kick ass inventory and skill screens are original and almost unparalleled (at least from what I've seen), and the map is very fun.

There are only 3 things on my mind that bug me right now (version .44).

Cain won't let me talk to him even though I beat the quest.

I don't get why your change log says you nerfed the merc when she is so weak.

And it seems like my defense isn't making me take any less damage.

Otherwise, loving the map, so keep working on it!

Oh, one more thing. Using critical strike for the bonus damage was pretty genius, good job on that.

 

[Phabyoh]

Yehhh!!!!!! very coolllllllll!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[visitorxyz]

My game crash when I load my warrior save, my save is on the mission to defeat Andreal or some devil like that. Right after I finish the smith quest. If you need my save file I can sent it to you. Thanks to fix my bug.

 

[Vodzoo]

I don't like bugs like that. It's very likely that it can't be fixed. Send it to: vodzoo_at_interia.pl and I'll check it on other versions.

Btw, you could write something about the map, gameplay, bugs, ect. Is is worth playing? Maybe I should change/improve something? Comments are welcome.

 

[Zach2424]

Can the warrior dual wield?

 

[Zach2424]

Also do you unlock more abilities later?

 

[Vodzoo]

1. Warrior can't dual wield.
2. Each class have 16 abilities. When you'll reach 10th level you'll see all of them.

 

[LockPick]

*_* this is going to be a big file if you do all the Acts

im on Act 3 right now in the real game so dont spoil anything for me

 

[attaque2]

There's a few bugs. But the some systems are interesting

 

[Hi.Hi]

Good game, but there is a bug with the loading hero, like some unused items disappear, doubles of heroes appear, sometimes clicking on a hero changes it into another hero. thats all I found, and just an idea but maybe add a command so your camera goes back to its normal position if you accidentally scroll down, turn camera sideways, etc.

Sorry if you reply to me, I might not reply back. school.

 

[Vodzoo]

like some unused items disappear,

Do you mean items form backpack? If you do, that's not a bug.

doubles of heroes appear,

What do you mean?

sometimes clicking on a hero changes it into another hero.

Never happened to me.

and just an idea but maybe add a command so your camera goes back to its normal position if you accidentally scroll down, turn camera sideways, etc.

There is such a command. Just write -camera.

 

[Jesuskeat]

Duno how start zzzz.....

I just download this map and try to play...
But after i load my (Warrior) character, i just see a box...

Can some-one teach me how to start to play =.=" pls+10s

 

[Vodzoo]

Take a screenshot and show your problem because I don't understand it. What box do you see?

 

[Jesuskeat]

^^

Take a screenshot and show your problem because I don't understand it. What box do you see?

Sry to ask that, it just i forget go update my war3 patch
Now every thing is working find

Now i can play oredi... nice game lol...
But i still dont understand how to equitment Item =.="

S-Put On
H-Take Off

This 2 command doesn't work after i press

 

[Vodzoo]

But i still dont understand how to equitment Item =.="

S-Put On
H-Take Off

This 2 command doesn't work after i press

You have to point the item you want to take off with arrows first. Put on (S) is working only when you're pointing an item in backpack.

 

[Jesuskeat]

Still cant =.=?!

You have to point the item you want to take off with arrows first. Put on (S) is working only when you're pointing an item in backpack.

I point the arrow on the weapon or icon and click H (Take off)
But nothing happen and i just see the character keep Hold position only =.=?

I was using 1.21a TFT Patch.
Izit i need to update or how?

Here's the ScreenShot i attach...

 

[Vodzoo]

Well, you have to point it with keyboard arrows, not mouse! If you look at your inventory you’ll see an icon above WEAPON which indicates your current position. If you point any item you’ll see its description and magical features below.

 

[Vercas]

Dude, very, very good campaign but items gives me no armor

Edit : oh, it was defense X)

Can you give me that inventory and abillity system in a demo map?
If yes, pastebin it and send me a link to it by Private Message
If not, it's ok

 

[Vodzoo]

You can edit map and check out the triggers. Unfortunately the inventory and abilities systems aren't sepatate from others triggers so there will be problem. There are lots of triggers that are connected with the system and they are in different places.

 

[Vercas]

I can't because i am missing trigger functions!
Please do that for me
I would like to use it in my map
Who i must give credits to? You or who?

 

[Vodzoo]

You have to open it by WE Unlimited. It's not as simple as you may think will all this triggers. I guess it can't be applied as a system in others map (it's just too chaotic ).

 

[Vercas]

No, i have 1.22 and my WEU makes every map have creep rebellion triggers ONLY
I don't want to mess up your campaign
And... ok

 

[Lich kingFrostX]

hay this is really good I,ll give you a 5/6 man I,ll download this cool

 

[Vercas]

New version... but any changes done? =]

 

[Vodzoo]

Well, map is finished and all three classes are fully playable now (in previous an archer was incomplete). I think that's most important change.

 

[Vercas]

does "Act II" exists?

 

[Vodzoo]

No, and for now I have no plans to create any other act.

 

[scookie]

uhmmm, i played this and it looks good and all but i cant figure out how to change weapons and upgrade mi skills and everything tho lol
help there wud b great.. oh and how long until this will be completed?

 

[Vodzoo]

Use keyboard arrows to navigate in Inventory and Abilities window. "S" and "H" are used for changing and taking off your stuff in Inventory window. "S" is also used for spending abilities points in Abilities window.

PS Map is completed.

 

[Vercas]

But you should add arrow movement system and you can implement a system to use keys "-" and "+" for different attacks/skills...

 

[uvazquez]

I was working some months go on a similar project when i found this. I like it.

4/5 for the bugs, but 5/5 for the idea.

 

[DerPanda]

Why doesnt it work?
I can create a hero and select him, but then i cant go to map three

 

[GreatOne]

I cant start the map either.I create the character, but the Act I map doesnt appear.
Can someone help?

 

[Vodzoo]

I think that the 1.24 patch made it unable to play. I guess you have to patch your game to version 1.22 in order to play it.

 

[SonicFrenzy]

hmmm, am i the only one that cant play this?
Its like, i create a guy, name him as i want(i tried the 3 classes alredy) and then what i do? I put load character or somethin, and my guy appears, i click him and put plya with this char, but then it goes right back to the campaign menu of this campaign, is this some kind of bug? pleaz help me i wanna really test it.

 

[Vodzoo]

Read the post above. Game worked fine with patch 1.22 but the newest one made it doesn't load. I don't know why.

 

[Lucasvn8]

How do i anti-update it to 1.22 ???
