Version 1.16 Is online!

For a full list of updates, see the main thread

Mostly bug fixes and atmosphere enhancements for this update This map is pretty much finished. Im just waiting for the final skills amd inventory system to be incorporated. Then I can finally move onto the second map of the series xD

___________________________________________________

lol, well, either way, I need to find one that works with the newest patch

In other news, v1.16 should be finished later tonight Its mostly just bug fixes, balancing, and a few terrain updates. Its needed though

 

[CloudMax]

Im still having problems with the inv system, i will post the trigger tommorow so you guys can take a look. Think it would be alot easier if someone just could finish that. Then i can complete the system.

I've found three small mistakes.Flame Sword's tooltip says it adds 12 points of damage,but it actually adds 17.Similarly,Frozen Sword's tooltip says it adds 12 points as well,but it adds 18.Also,Flame Scepter's tooltip seems to be lacking,as it also adds 5 points of damage,not just +9 to intelligence,as it says right now.

It's nothing serious,But I thought I'd let you know.

 

[CloudMax]

Cloud, you should check all the tooltips and fix them and i mean ALL. Since we will never get rid of the tooltip issues if we dont.
And that would decrease the amount of Tooltip reports which spam the comments.
I am not saying that people is spamming for reporting it, i am saying that it would be easier if we fix them all so people doesnt have to report the issues

 

[Dumbdumb36]

5/5 good job on this! I like the terrain and all the custom models, and skins
the witchdoctor spell Fire bomb has an error in the description. It says level 3 twice

and I know exactly why that is lol Basically, each one of those items uses an orb ability. And by default, each orb ability contains its own damage increase

I'll get it sorted for the next version

Please pimp slap the dude(s) working on the spells to get things going ^_^

 

[CloudMax]

nonsense.

Posts like that is called "Spam" if you didnt knew and "spam" is not allowed around here if you didnt knew that.
And give me one good reason to why its nonsense.
What you just said means that we shouldent fix the issues, and that is pretty lame you know..

Why cant you just make the spells yourself? >_>

Great map.
I have hosted it x-times.
Many people said that this the best map they have ever played

But the map needs a better end!!!
All people are dissapointed if you have killed Tyreal and than that´s it.

G A M E O V E R

Maybe you could add details at the end about the new Diablo III.
Maybe when it could be released. what a PC do you need to play it and things like that....

 

[CloudMax]

Uhhm, a bad ending? :S
Tyrael (Tyreal doesnt exist :S?) is just a bonus boss you know. And it would just be wierd to add info at the end since they can just go to diablo3.com and get all the info they need.
The most maps doesnt even have an ending it just appears a dialogue box and its over.

ITs still in beta stage so its very much incomplete

When the whole series of maps is done, im going to add a save/load between them After the save/load is in, it could say something like:

"Please save your hero by typing -save

You can download the next map in the series from www.hiveworkshop.com"

or something like that

 

[arthas_king]

nice idea maybe.... u could make this map for the 1st lvl and the creeps will end in lvl 50 excample... Then at the 2nd map creeps will start at lvl 50 and end in 100 like a story

 

[CloudMax]

isnt this what we have been talking about the last few weeks.
And from lvl 1 to level 50 in one map is to much.
We want to keep it balanced. better making it from level 1-10/15 in the first map. and in the second map from 10/15-20/25 higher then that and the level will fuck up.

 

[saphiree]

Yeah i cant wait until you make more maps.
And yeah Witch Doctor+ Barbarian is a must. ;D But wizard has some nice DPS 2. So the third person should go wizard ^^

 

[CloudMax]

When i play 6 player its often 1 barbarian (me ) 4 Witch doctors and 1 Wizard. And that makes it kinda boring
Barbarian is a little to strong, Witch Doctor heal to much and wizard is okay.

 

[saphiree]

lol 4 witch doctor i booooring. But i also wanna play witch doctor the most, but people normally need me to play Barbarian :S

 

[CloudMax]

You have a bad team if someone say "You take that". People can say "i want to be blah blah" but they shouldent tell others which one they should pick.

 

[Tha Flamestorm]

Dude, never call anyone fag only becouse you dont like someones map.
Even if he is a so called "asshole" (a human cant be a asshole).
And he makes a spell and is proud of himself.
Your not better then him by saying that.
And never compare a map someone has made with another, if i would do that i would say that maps that IS good SUCKS only becouse i like this one more, right? :O
Try to be nice insted, that always work better. (if you dont want to get on the criminal side ofc)

I never said its coz i dont like his map, its because i dont like his map, that he doesnt like me and is an awful prick to me, so therefore ending up as me not liking him.little......sonova....[get my point?]

 

[CloudMax]

If he isnt nice to you, just leave him and let him be.
I always try to find a way to be friend with people when i somehow manage to make people angry again, and if it doesnt work, i just let them be so i dont make them even more angry.
The right way is to not choose the wrong way. That is what i used to say a while befor i joined this forum. ;-)

 

[CloudWolf]

Going with the levels, Ive decided to cap to max level at 40

The reason for this being, I dont want players to become too imba :S Especially if theres going to be some pvp later on

So, level 40 will probably be the equivalent of completing say, 3 maps such as this one After that, the only way to progress will be to gain better items ^^

 

[Oziris]

I like the idea Cloudwolf, still cant wait for the inventory xD

 

[saphiree]

I cant wait for the new maps. But what are you gonna make them from? i mean when you made this you used the Diablo III video verry much for terraining i can see. Do you wait until blizzard come with something else or you find out something yourself?

 

[CloudMax]

The next maps will be custom made. :-]

 

[CloudWolf]

The next maps will be custom made. :-]

lol yea The new areas will probably be based on locations in the Diablo world, but will be made up from scratch. I might even use a screenshot or two from Diablo 2 as a reference

An idea I had for the second map was some sort of firery cavern? In the trailer we get to see something that resembles a balrog, so I thought it could make a pretty epic boss

 

[arthas_king]

i have an idea wait for new D3 screenshots and then make something as much as possible to look like it (ex.A cavern a waterfall a volcano) and with CloudWolf's skill at terraining you will make it a hit at the hive's top 20 maps

If we have to wait for new screens whole the time, it will take forever xD
And i think it would be cool if we make custom, that way we could make everything fit in. If we have a screenshot, we have to base the entire map on that picture if the style is going to fit in the map.
Custom maps FTW.

 

[saphiree]

lol i made a mistake in my post XD

that was what i wrote. but i wanted to write the second sentence like this: "i mean when you made this you used DIABLO III gameplay video alot on the terrain. XD just so its easier to understand ^^

Dint want to "EDIT" as its too long up in the posts, else i had done it ^^

 

[redmarine]

LTGH, I'm going to take another look at the inventory system. Hope I can fix it this time.

EDIT: Your pastebin has expired. I'm unable to access it now.

Hay hay we are the same, it never works, we try but its just not enough.
But he keeps bugging me, THAT, is why i hate him, reported him and squelching just would not work, he got his fans and his Frigging friends to annoy me about it....ok i think its just about time i go back to my old acc.

 

[redmarine]

BIG NEWS!!!

LTGH's inventory system is finally able to pick up items making it useful! Here is an image of a finally working inventory system! IT WORKS! But it's far from finish and it's quite buggy.

PS: The item with a red circle is just an image not an item. I'll try to make the system less buggy.

I love this inventory system.

[saphiree]

Well when does 1.17 then come?

 

[CloudWolf]

Awesome work on the inventory!

Well when does 1.17 then come?

As for 1.17, im working on it right now It will probably be uploaded tonight, or tomorrow some time. It includes some new creeps, and ive been reworking a lot of the spells to make them more like the official videos

Unfortunately, 1.17 probs wont contain the new inventory system, as it still contains a lot of bugs But it shouldnt be too long until its put into the game now

 

[saphiree]

weeeh! so we can excpect it to be in 1.18 or 1.19? And when do you think youre done with this map so we can get the others you talked about? XD

I love you, i really, really, love you. YOUR THE BEST!!!
I hope people will enjoy the inventory, i lost much of my free time on that, but i think it will be worth it ^_^
Just send it to me when you fixed the bugs and i will complete the system (all equipment slots is still not working, but it takes about a half hour to fix all =D)
BTW, how the heck can you call that red thingy a circle? O_O*

I'm experiencing trouble with the inventory system. Items don't appear visible when they are picked up. And they always end up in slot 13, 14 and 15. I don't know what's wrong... I'll hand you the map later today if I can fix this bug.

But could you make the drop system? It would be best to create all the systems before making it compatible with all items. I have an idea to make the current triggers compatible with all items.

 

[CloudWolf]

Just been looking at the newest Blizcast episode Theres some pretty neat stuff in there

For one, they've redone the inventory and it looks far nicer now:

Inventory

and they've also gone into much more detail regarding the barbarians fury system =] So I'll be trying my best to replicate that from now on

 

[CloudMax]

The new one is really nice but does it really fit in with our map?
I mean, we cant use icons if we have it like that, it will require us to have custom made icons with the right size and no borders. But if i dont remember wrong, FrIkY wanted to help us with graphics. The only problem will be the map size i guess.
The only thing that anoys me is the bag layout, it looks horrible, but the equipment part looks awesome. (pretty much like Diablo 2)
And one more thing, they still have that round circle with the 7 small spots in it, im sure they are going to use it now since it cant be a decoration, it looks like a button now.
Maybe its there you put the runes?
Im going to check diablo3.com when i get home from school.

Blizzard really is the shit at making UIs, seriusly, they looks epic.
Those small details they put into it is what makes it so awesome.

 

[CloudWolf]

I wouldnt worry about it too much I can always make it look different by changing the skin Which means the coding can stay exactly as it is

As for the fury system, as far as I can tell, the barbarian gets fury points each time he attacks Im guessing that when he reaches max fury points, he then uses the fury points to use his spells.

Our system could essentially work in a similar way, but we would have to use the mana bar to show the fury points. Below is an idea I had, its probably not quite the same as blizzard's system, but would work well with warcraft 3 in my opinion

__________________________________


For example, the barbarian could have 5 mana, and start the game with 0. Each time he uses an ability, he could gain 1 mana.


As part of the combo finishing move, the barbarian could have say, 3 different abilities. When the mana reaches 5, 1 of these abilities could be picked at random, and added to the set of skills. When the skill is used, the mana will decrease to 0, and the barbarian will have to start the process all over again

2 of these finishing moves could be standard, and appear 90% of the time. the other 1 could be the barbarians ultimate ability, but only have a 10% chance of appearing

The system would make the game far more dynamic, and less repetative for the players


What say you?

 

[saphiree]

sounds nice, but more than 3 sets ^^ I rly love your map and wish you just could fill it up so it almost dint look like WC3 anymore. But then it would prop become to big :S Blizzard made n00by max map size :S is it freakin 4mb?

But this map is awesome anyway, and someone should rly tell bliz about their n00by max map size XD (its not going to be me, as im not good at writing long texts and i havent got too many words on english ) ^^

yea... its a shame really =[

When warcraft 3 came out, no one had upload speeds over 256kb. So 4mb was a good limit, as it stopped really long download times.

But now hosts generally have far better uploads, which means players can download 4mb maps in under a minute It is about time the max limit was increased.

However, blizzard have all but forgotten the warcraft III players There is an official forum for suggestions, but queries such as these are rarely acted upon by blizzard staff

I know for a fact that people have been asking for the limit to be made larger for over a year now, but blizzard just wont do it for some reason


But yes! I'll probably start off the system with 3 combo abilities, but we can always add more any time we want

Ive actually been makign this system for the past hour, and its looking rather nice Far better than the existing one for sure

 

[saphiree]

Its because the F***ing n00bs are focusing on the sucky WOW game :S
Seriously! http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/group.php?groupid=452 become a member! Cus its ruined everything about Warcraft history and such :S

 

[Eduardomsc]

hey,it's me again,with more bug hunting ^^.According to the tooltip,Knight's Garment should be giving +9 Strength and +6 agility,but instead it gives +9 strength and +6 intelligence...

and just my opinion,but shouldn't the zombies be Undead as well ??

 

[CloudWolf]

Oh, dont get me wrong, I have nothing against WoW I just dont play it because I find it too repetative

Ive also fixed the upper part of the UI now "finally".

hey,it's me again,with more bug hunting ^^.According to the tooltip,Knight's Garment should be giving +9 Strength and +6 agility,but instead it gives +9 strength and +6 intelligence...

and ty! I'll be sure to fix that

 

[redmarine]

CloudWolf, how big is the new version? And BTW, I think the max filesize is 4.1 MB.

I got a couple of suggestions on how to reduce the filesize:
Create units using triggers. It takes more space to actually place them using the editor.
Convert all Triggers into Script.
Reduce some texture filesizes on models who don't actually require that much quality.
Remove doodads players won't see/notice anyway.

LTGH, when you move the items around in the inventory you should declared those slots previously used as empty and those currently in use used. Do this and everything should be alright beside the little fact that items are still not visible until moved around.

I'll send you the map so you can fix it yourself. It should be fixed in Trigger: Inventory P1 and using the variable "Set Inventory_Empty_Player1[X]" to declare if true or false. This is fixed in the pick up system.

Btw, the only reason why your system failed to work in the first place wasn't a trigger error but a single calculation error. Instead of using 0-14 values in the loop it should have been 1-15.

 

[CloudWolf]

The file-size at present is 3.65mb

But yes! if you need more space than that, I can make some extra room. The final version wont actually feature Tyrael, so that should save a lot anyway

How much space will you guys be needing?
