Diablo III Warcraft Beta v1.19b

[redmarine]

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?

I would guess about at maximum 200-300. No more than that. Ask LGHT for a more specific number.

Sounds good to me With those changes you suggested, and without the tyrael model, the map size could easily go right down to 3mb, giving you guys plenty of room, and enough space to add the new classes in the future

___________________________


also, going back to the new Fury system, its just about finished now Ive spent the last few hours getting it to work, and ironing out all the visible bugs

I also just discovered a major flaw with the current inventory system too which allows items to be put into any slot lol But thank god its being replaced shortly

 

[CloudMax]

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

Wrong. Blizzard is not one single team that works with the game, they have different teams working on different games which means that WoW doesnt make Warcraft 3 to go slower. They still patch Warcraft 3, doesnt that tell you something
And dont forget about Starcraft 2 and Diablo 3, that cost alot.

This is not only for you saphiree, this is a message for everyone who think like you.
I want them to make Starcraft 2 insted of working in Warcraft 3, seriusly, i dont understand why some people says "ohhh, damn starcraft 2, make a warcraft 4 insted!". Give them a good reason, the most peoples that says so just play custom games anyway, and whats the different with a warcraft 3 custom game and a starcraft 2 custom game? I have the answer, starcraft 2 can do much, much more.

I would guess about at maximum 200-300. No more than that. Ask LGHT for a more specific number.

To be honest, it takes about 400-500KB becouse of the inventory Texture and the inventory slot texture.

We might be able to release it for v1.18
LTGH, good job so far and keep us updated.

and the rest of the team

I always wondered why the top felt so weird... Nice upgrade.

By the way, in case you want. Send me the map and I'll implant a fixed camera system. Shouldn't take all to long.
However you better test whether there's no permanent lag later.

Edit: So if you want, cent me a pm with a download link or so Cloud.

If you could that would be awesome I'm sending you the link now

download the current version and create the so called "fixed camera system" then hand it over to him to judge. Would make life easier for all of us.
Use periodic timers to reach down to 0.01 a second.

 

[Na_Dann_Ma_GoGo]

Nah 0.016 is fine ;P

 

[redmarine]

Nah 0.016 is fine ;P

Could you explain to me in details what kind of a camera system you're trying to make? Is it a camera system attached to the heroes facing about 135?

Hope you can finish it before version 1.17!

 

[CloudWolf]

Gaaaagh xD I've been investigating ways to stop the barbarian from gaining mana, but im afraid the only bugless solution is to prevent him from picking up items with intelligence

So as of the next update, it will not be possible to pick up items that are not recomended for your class

 

[CloudMax]

Change to "Required class" then.
And you can trigger the items that gives int so that if unit type does not equal to barbarian, give abillity X and when you drop item, remove abillity X

BTW, do you have Garena Cloud?

Fraid not Im still stuck using the northrend server lol

and yes! I thought about doing that, but then thats even more effort than just making a list of all the items a hero can pick up xD

gj with the inventory btw

Items will only take effect once equipped meaning you can decide whatever if the abilities should be added to the spesific wielding class or not.

 

[Na_Dann_Ma_GoGo]

In my humble opinion... it's doing that rage system for your map is just unnecessary and will barely increase gameplay. Especially since you can spam "stop" while attacking to increase mana a lot. And although that could be avoided by disabling the trigger for 0.2 secs or so...
I don't see a real benefit in that system.
But that's just my opinion. :X

Ive editted it slightly from the one that was in the map i sent you It had bugs in it anyways :S I kinda have to agree that it wont do much But its just one of those fine detail things I thought ide include for the hell of it lol


oooh, also, is there a way of setting the camera distance in that camera trigger you gave me? I noticed while playing that theres hardly any visibility below the hero which could be a problem when atacking stuff in that visibility area :S If the camera was zoomed a little further out, it would be fixed

Just wondering if theres a Jass code for it I could simply copy and paste into the trigger you gave me

like:

call SetCameraField(CAMERA_FIELD_DISTANCE_TO_TARGET,1400,1.0)

or something like that I dont know enough about Jass to say xD

ty again! The maps looking even more fantastic than before because of your help


EDIT: Actually, never mind I found the right script on google lol

CAMERA_FIELD_TARGET_DISTANCE

I also worked out how im gonna do those cinematics If i set the death booleans to true, then the camera wont be locked :O I can just set it back once the cinematics over

 

[CloudMax]

Cloud, you should get Garena, its awesome and its also lag-free.
I play DotA on it alot, started using Garena 3 days ago.
Its nice ^_^

 

[Na_Dann_Ma_GoGo]

Uhm I've done a lot testing with these goddamn camera stuff and it was annoying as hell :/

I use "CAMERA_FIELD_ZOFFSET" to define the height. "CAMERA_FIELD_TARGET_DISTANCE" seems to mess up the same way it does, when you lock the camera to a unit.

If you want to stop the whole camera stuff for all players simply put this before you do your own camera actions:

• Custom script: call DisableTrigger(CamLock)

And this

• Custom script: call EnableTrigger(CamLock)

if you want to activate the system again.

If you just want to remove the sticked position but keep the rotation and angle of attack do this:

• Custom script: set DEAD[IND[GetPlayerId(Player(0))]] = true
• Custom script: set DEAD[IND[GetPlayerId(Player(1))]] = true
• Custom script: set DEAD[IND[GetPlayerId(Player(2))]] = true
• Custom script: set DEAD[IND[GetPlayerId(Player(3))]] = true
• Custom script: set DEAD[IND[GetPlayerId(Player(4))]] = true
• Custom script: set DEAD[IND[GetPlayerId(Player(5))]] = true

and of course that:

• Custom script: set DEAD[IND[GetPlayerId(Player(0))]] = false
• Custom script: set DEAD[IND[GetPlayerId(Player(1))]] = false
• Custom script: set DEAD[IND[GetPlayerId(Player(2))]] = false
• Custom script: set DEAD[IND[GetPlayerId(Player(3))]] = false
• Custom script: set DEAD[IND[GetPlayerId(Player(4))]] = false
• Custom script: set DEAD[IND[GetPlayerId(Player(5))]] = false

to keep it locked again.

About the visible area below / above the hero. That's the main problem I had and was trying to fix :/
I thought I've got it to a point where it would be working fine (with the last map I send you).
If you could tell me at which placed the problems occur, I'll have a look on it.
Keeping the Cam centered on the hero for different terrain heights seems to be really hard. [Or there's an easy solution I dunno yet^^]

 

[CloudMax]

I dont know if im the first one here but i have constantly checked blizzard.com the entire day for the april fools. And they are finally here.
I present you the new diablo 3 character... Archivist!!!
He use paper to kill units and he throws quest logs on enemies so that they get a ! over the head and explodes. and he can "shush!!" people to the death.
Diablo III - Archivist
They really worked hard.
Maybe add him CloudWolf? =D Just like an bonus character, it would be fun

Here is something off-topic but the Starcraft 2 april joke is the best joke blizzard have ever made. I think they putted ALOT of effort into this one... Let me present you.. THE TERRATRON! http://www.starcraft2.com/features/terran/terratron.xml

But i like the WoW joke the most since it is awesome. I even want them to add it ingame. They are talking on the blizz forum that one of them can be real, but that can also be a fool. If one is real, it has to be this one since the D3 one is not seriuse and the SC2 unit is to strong to actually be ingame, maybe a boss tough. Here it is... THE DANCING SYSTEM http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/pvp/dance/index.xml

--------------------------

I checked BlizzCast, and i just saw that they still have a badass skill tree, i hope they reveal what all of them does in the near future, atleast a few of them so that we can make our own skill tree :-]

 

[ANdROnIQ]

This is an artwork map rather than an RPG map, but it's still very nice made and it's really very similar to the Diablo III trailer. However, as a player, I'd say there should be cooldown indicators on the items with active abilities displayed (set the active ability to be the first in the ability list of an item).

 

[CloudWolf]

Just a quick update! The following features are now 100% complete for 1.17:

- Fixed Camera (Just like the real Diablo!) Thanks to Na_Dann_Ma_GoGo
- New Barbarian Fury System
- Class specific Items

Theres several other minor updates such as new creeps and items, but I'll keep that sort of info for the main thread

Oh wow xD I always wondered how to fix the cooldowns lol Ty for the help!

{EDIT}

New Features for this version:

- Fixed Camera (By Na_Dann_Ma_GoGo)

_________________________________________


In other news, I just received some new spells from The_Silent So I'll be adding some new skills as of 1.18

Also, im afraid im going to be on a skiiing holiday for the next week and a bit, so the next update might take a while However! Hopefully the extra time will give the inventory squad a chance to finish their stuff

 

[CloudMax]

Baah, and i tought it would be the perfect week to spend my time talking with you about that map, but i was wrong.

You should get Garena m8, its lag-free, my RL friends can all play at the same time, in the same game, with the same CD-Key, since you play trough Local Network and not battle.net.
One more thing i like is that i can just go to Wc3 > Europe > Sweden DotA to play with people from my own country =)

 

[CloudWolf]

lol I'm still off from uni the following week, so I'll have plenty of free time then

oh, I also forgot to mention theres a new set of screenshots I made them as previews, but if you click them, you get the full resolution

 

[Rui]

Oh god... over 1.000 comments! I was expecting most of it to be spam, but I guess the majority of these comments are acceptable, even though it'd be best to keep all this in a Map Development forum thread.

I'm posting to say I'm considering giving this map a new review, since the previous was, as mentioned in the moderator comment, kinda hasty. I'm sure the rating can raise a bit!

P.S. – This trailer wasn't here, was it? Good job on it!

~Thread cleaned ^{(6 posts deleted)}

 

[Eduardomsc]

Ifeel like the Witch Doctor was favored with this new update.previously,both Wizards and WDs could use the Dream Chaser,one of the best INT items of this map(if not the best),but now it's limited to WDs...

and I've never been a fixed camera fan,but i can deal with that ^^

Rui, could you please wait until LTGH and I are done with the inventory system? It's going to be awesome!

LTGH, done any progress on the inventory system?

Im trying to do any progress BUT i still get problems when trying to make the move detecting. I would love you if you could fix that.
Thats all we need to fix and then i can complete everything.

over 1.000 comments!

I think we will have to get our own forum soon. Its hard to keep all the comments here and it is an entire mess. And we are just getting more & more comments.
But damn, about 1/3 of the comments is mine >.<

By move you mean setting it to empty right? Just send me the map and I'll try to fix it soon enough.

Get the project hosted. You guys will get your own subforum inside Hive. I wouldn't recommend getting a forum outside Hive because they usually fail.

CloudWolf have already asked for one but they said that they wont host any projects until Starcraft 2 or something like that. and that is a LONG, LONG time.
Maybe ask ralle directly, he can give us a stright answer i think.

I send you the map when i get home from school tommorow, now i have to sleep & im on wrong computer.

 

[Verhalthur]

By the way, will you make the Archivist class in this?
I mean, I know it's a joke class, but it has some serious gameplay possibility.

 

[Tha Flamestorm]

YAY a new char is released, get adding cloudy =D

 

[boombox0648]

I love this map cool models,icons,spells and creeps
____________________________________________________________________________

just tried the banner

 

[Eduardomsc]

Cloud,what spell did you get from The_Silent ??do they include Desintegrate ??because that spell looks awesome.

also,about the WD's Soul Harvest,shouldn't it work completely different from how it does now ??I mean,as far as i know,it should deal damage to all enemy units around the WD,not be a targeted spell.Of course,I'm assuming that such spell can be created,but it should be possible,since it is a small AOE damage spell,kinda like War Stomp.

Guy, guys... The Archivist might be real, they talked about it on the forums they said that one of the updates might be real. They even updated their main page on diablo3.com and starcraft2.com. And they did the main page updates on the 2nd april. Just think for a while. It can be real, right?
I can be wrong, but according to the faqs that they updated it the 2nd april, it cant be an april fool.

EDIT: Its now confirmed that it was a joke on Blizzard.com. I tought it was a joke myself but why did they keep updating on the 2nd april? wierd..

I still think that we should add him to the map as a "joker card", the only problem is that 3 mages is to much. :S

I hope they keep Terra-tron for starcraft 2 but not as a playable unit, but like a boss in campaign for example or just as a cinematic unit in the Terran campaign. Atleast keep him in the game so we can use him for our own maps =D

And why didnt they add the dancing system in WoW, it would be fun xD lol. I mean, it is something new and unique (atleast for me).

Redmarine, now when i think of it, what am i suppost to send you? I just have to version you sended me.

BTW, do you have Garena? If not, i can invite you to the site if you want.
__________________

CloudWolf, as you know im using Garena and i checked the map supporting thread on the forums.
This is what you have to do:

1) Interested map authors is required to email Garena at [email protected] with the title as “Map Support Application - *Map Name*”, as well as attach the map in the email for the team to evaluate and test. In the email, please include a brief description and other facts about the maps (e.g. Suggested number of players, genre, and etc).
2) Garena would also require map authors to include the Garena Logo in the map’s loading page/screen with a statement wrapping around the logo (either above or below the logo) stating “Recommended Gaming Platform – www.Garena.com”

And this is what we get for supporting them:

Maps supported by Garena will enjoy the following benefits
( NOTE: Benefits will be granted upon request by map author and approval from Warcraft III Community Administrator of Garena):
1) Dedicated Map Page under Garena’s Map Portal at http://www.garena.com/maps.
2) Dedicated Forum Page under Garena Community Forums at http://www.garena.com/forum.
3) Room(s)/Channel(s) named after the “Map” in Garena Platform
4) Tournaments support (Prize, other promotions) from Garena for events hosted related to the map.
5) FREE Premium Membership to Map Authors who has their map supported by Garena.
6) Direct EXPOSURE to over 6.5 MILLION gamers !

Quoted from http://www.garena.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=122749&extra=page=1

So what do you think? Supported by Garena would be huge.

 

[Tetriando]

nice update! Next version will have new invertory system? I can't wait on it xD

 

[saphiree]

I havent played this yet, and i dont think im gonna play until the new inventory system comes.

And yes, we cant wait! XD Its rly c00l that its actually possible to make such nice stuff in WE. I mean... why get unlimited when it already is....?

 

[CloudMax]

Becouse unlimited give GUI users to have acces to JAS stuff. But w/e, i dont use JAS in my inventory system
It will be done till next version if it doesnt appear any problems on our way.

I'm running into some complications because I'm not sure what everything is. What variable do you use to store the previously clicked inventory slot and it's value(E.g. id)?

That is a damn good question, i think i have it in a previouse PM, i go and check. I dont have wc3 right now you know.

• [Inventory_Selected_Slot[(Player number of (Triggering player))]

That is the one. You do not need to use +19 on that one.
+19 is only used in the pick-up specefic variables.
Here is the slot IDs if you wonder how it works.
I wonder what i was thinking when i placed them xD
And yes, i forgot 30 so the picture is incorrect. But that is logical.

I have 666 THE NUMBER OF THE BEAST, posts.

 

[Msenetrom]

Freaking Awesome

This is amazing! 10/5 for gameplay!
Btw how did you get det hige ground? Like on the trailer...looks great.
And where did you get all the models? Not everyone looks like their from hive?!
Rated 5/5

 

[saphiree]

yeah i would actually like to know that terrain stuff too. Its nice when you can raise the ground so much without making it thinner and thinner to the top, if you understand.

Alright but next time you want to create a boolean try to avoid using integer value 0-1. It's rather confusing. Anyway what value is true 0 or 1?

• Inventory_Selected_True_False[(Player number of (Triggering player))] Equal to 0

The reason why I can avoid using +19 is because I can instead use Custom Value of unit. This variable actually stores the selected unit's value.

• [Inventory_Selected_Slot[(Player number of (Triggering player))]

I hope I can solve it today.

True is allways 1 False is allways 0. I was to lazy to use Boolean, idk why i did it.

Ah thanks.

I can finally confirm that the pick up item system works 100%, even though it always has worked.

Now back to the inventory.

 

[CloudMax]

Seriusly? Its working? O.O

Yeah but sadly the images don't display until the items are moved around.

 

[CloudMax]

becouse you havent made so that the images appear, i will fix that.
