Diablo III Warcraft Beta v1.19b

[CloudMax]

But some people wants to be able to try out maps even if they dont have a character.
And cus we are so kind, we will let them choose character and play normally. But they wont be able to save. Atleast i think thats the plan. Everything else is "secret material" as for now.

 

[saphiree]

oka ;D

Basically why we're unable to just start from scratch is because we're using systems which are heavily hardcoded into the map itself. If we start from scratch it would take a lot longer to actually implement them via importing objects, triggers, and so on. One example of this is the inventory.

CloudWolf, would you mind to devide the dungeon into 3 sections? Each section will have 3-4 types of terrain. Meaning that when the game starts it selects different terrain each time for all 3 parts of the game.

This means the map won't always be the same and to add to the fun we could create a randomization spawning system.

Comment?

Does this mean I have to remake the whole terrain 3 times over? that would be hardcore xD

Hehe, if you want to. It basically adds to the variaty of the game. But lets wait to actually implement it. Lets take small steps.

Although thats an awesome idea, I'm rather worried about the lag it would cause having so many doodads in game We could however, expand the existing terrain to include some more alternative pathways that could be accesed at random For example, after defeating the skeleton king, you get tp'ed to one of two routes. Or we could simply cut the rooms up a bit and include more doorways, which could be coded to lead to random rooms

Thinking about it, we could even code in the differences with trigger We could have multiple triggers that setup the map in different ways

However, im all for the random creep groups etc One of the key Diablo III features is that its random in almost all aspects xD

Lets put the randomizing terrain on the hill for a couple of months(forever).

I think I'll try to create a pretty simple system for randomizing creep. It will be easy to use and hopefully it will be awesome.

 

[Darkholme]

Random Creeps are good.

I was wondering, is there any chance of a 'single player' mod that makes use of JNGP's RTC? It allows custom Native commands including networking options. That means you can have a client and server, people connect to the game through the single player campaign, then they all play on the server. You'd have no size limit, and no player count limit.

The one downside is that presently it would require people to have JNGP. He's working on a lite version for the non-devs though, and it's going to include an auto-updater, so once the user sets it up they won't have to worry about it. They just run their game, it updates their JNGP to the newest version automatically, and you have access to the new functions (networking included) in your map.

I dont know that you like it, but I think it would be awesome.

 

[saphiree]

sorry, whats JNGP? Something JASSNewGen?

I doubt we're going to actually use Warsoc. Even though it's quite an interesting project it doesn't serve us any real bonuses. This map is supposed to be a battle.net compatible map meaning everyone can play without needing WarSoc.

Dont forget the random traps

When we are done with everything i might try to make all of the maps into one single campaign. xP Would be a lot of reworking and triggering but it would be cool to have one for battle.net and one for single player.
But why dont we just wait with that untill diablo III is released and make the entire D3 in Starcraft II insted? xD

Because it will take months until StarCraft II will be released.

 

[saphiree]

And because you will need to wait for people to make all the models. Remember in SC2, there will only be future units. So you must wait for modellers to make diablo models.

 

[AntoMarc]

amazing rpg and its beta this was the best diablo map I ever played I saw you put a lot of effort on it so I must say great job! terrain was one of the best I seen like diablo dark atmosphere, dungeon was like Blizzard made it classes were well made but on that acolytes or what are they, they have male voices and are females this was the only bad point in this beta (I don't know If some one say this because I don't read whole thread)... anyway great job I can't wait to see the full version . 5/5 and +rep

 

[CloudMax]

Thats not what i ment. I was talking about making it into an campaign for single player. But i better wait until SC2 is released before doing that since we already is bussy with the current maps.
And after thinking about it for a while, i dont feel like making it into a campaign, maybe one day. But that day is not now, or tommorow or in the near future.

 

[cocoguapo]

You should make -save and -load commands man

 

[CloudWolf]

You should make -save and -load commands man

Don't worry They'll be added at some point Weve discussed this before, but I gardly expect you to go through over a hundred pages of comments xD lol

Basically, this game is going to be made up of 4 maps. Three of them will be the dungeons you can see here, and the fourth will be a PvP map.

There will be a save/load to allow player to transfer characters between maps. Essentially, its going to be a bit like an ORPG, however, there won't be any need for repetative grinding due to the games "Instance" like gameplay

hope that clears things up for you!

 

[redmarine]

Hm, now items are capable of holding additional bonuses. Great.

It might be ready tomorrow.

hooray! thats good news So long as theres at least 3, we should be fine 2 for abilities and 1 for an SFX attachment

I still cant beleive how awesome you are for helping the project out as much as you have If I can ever return the favour let me know! That goes for LTGH too

You can have up to 5 abilities.

You can create some crazy abilities now.

LISTEN UP PEOPLE.
Im going to make a little "anti-ninja" system.
I was thinking of making it like choose "Need" or "Greed". To choose need you must be able to equip the item (level doesnt count!). And it is "Need before Greed". I was thinking of making a roll window next to the inventory.
So my question is, How do YOU want it to be? Tell me info of how it will work and where you want the roll system to be. Next to inventory, Multiboard, Dialog w/e.
So its time to use your brain people!

Well, we definately dont want it to be too complicated.

We could in fact, drop the item as usual, but make players unable to pick it up. That way they can still see the stats it gives.

A dialog could then appear giving instructions on how to use the roll system. E.g. type "Need" if your hero needs the item, or "Greed" if you dont need it, but just want it.

Then we can add each player to the "Need" or "Greed" player groups, and generate a random number to see which players gets it.

It would save us having to create extra stuff in the UI

This idea seems to be the best so far. Lets do it.

I'll figure a way to prevent the items from getting picked via the pickup trigger.

 

[CloudMax]

So we will have a dialog that appears? Wont it be frustrating if a dialog appears when a legendary items drops in the middle of a battle or something?

And about the player group thing, i have an better idea.
If a player choose need, he will get the roll amount
(the amount that shows up in the game message (LTGH Need Rolled for [CloudWolf's Runeblade] and got 100/100))
But after the message appears, we just add 101 into the calculated number which gives you that need status becouse you cant normaly reach that high amount. That way we dont have to mess with player groups.

________________
Since you guys want to keep the medallion idea i made some medallion icons. Since we're only going to make 3 maps you guys will have too choose 3 of them. Make a good choice, they're suppost to fit in with the actual map you get it in! Tell me if you want me to make another one.

Well, some of them is not. But i gave them a name.. idk why.

[CloudWolf]

My preferered choice would be whatever fits with the dungeon you obtain them from So for the current map, ide say the darkness one

 

[CloudMax]

Oki =)
The reason that i made so many was that people requested my to make them in the chat and i didnt have anything to do I think im going to release the ones that wont be used since i noticed that some people actually likes them.

 

[Super-Sheep]

You could maybe try to use Tornado instead of Wind Walk. Or atleasy try. It would also look too much like water hm..

 

[CloudMax]

I can make more of the same type so insted of replace i can just make new ones. I will make some more later and try to "fuse" since now almost all is just a simple icon. :S

 

[Kimm2y]

Greater job!)

there was best terrain,than in other maps
10/5

Hey kiddie...before you want to flame others just shut up.

I thought the developers want to know additional scenarios besides their core's like water, fire, light, etc.
And not whether their symbols are similar to their description.

So keep cool and just go away.

have a nice weekend.

I meant no offence dude, you're the one who should keep cool .
My weekend is alright, I go out, I see people, I don't spend my time on a forum (which doesn't mean that you do)
End of the incident. No need to reply to such a kiddy behaviour.
See you on the forum (Finally! )

 

[CloudWolf]

I just added some new screenshots to the website

 

[Super-Sheep]

I just googled "Diablo III Wc3" and it found many blogs and other sites that have news about your map. oO

 

[KhalanDuriant]

I tried the map and I think it is very good the terrain looks great and the enemies are nice too.
The item system isn't bad but it displayed sometimes when I picked up a potion that it isn't made for my class and I cloud pick up 3 weapons.
The spells of the heroes aren't too special but they're useful. But it could be made better. For example the Cleave ability of the Barbarian: if you use it you get a new passive ability and I don't like when heroes get new icons if they cast a spell. You could use the Spell Book ability to avoid this I can explain you how if you don't know.
There is only one more thing I don't like the Icons. The passive abilities like Stamina have a Passive Icon in the Status. Please fix such icon bugs cause this are so...ugh... You are not Icefrog you can fix them....
I know for many people are this things nothing but Icon problems are so easy to fix...
Oh I almost forgot it the attack and armor of some units can be upgraded they have that 0 like an original footman and the Dark Summoners have the Caster Upgrade next to their attack.

However Diablo III is one of the best maps I've ever seen. I can't wait to see the new classes
(Sorry for my English I still learn it....or what....)

 

[CloudMax]

Hmm. The inventory will be replaced in next version.
The spells is kinda "meeh". We will also replace them.
And the icons isnt really bugs, its suppost to be that but... well.. w/e..

 

[Palaslayer]

how is the map progressing?

Soon as I get hold of the newest inventory version, I'll start making a bunch of new items to replace the existing one If I really get into it, it shouldnt take more than a day or so lol

Ive also been doing some hardcore terraining updates xD I finally managed to find a chain model so theres some nifty looking bridges in the game now

 

[Super-Sheep]

So you havent remade any of spells yet? tt

 

[CloudWolf]

So you havent remade any of spells yet? tt

Weve got a set of witch-doctor spells to put it made by The_Silent.

Other than that though, we're still waiting for the rest of the spells We've been focusing our efforts on the inventory system in order to release 1.18 as quick as possible (even if it is taking forever lol)

Saying that, The_Silent supposedly will be working on some wizard spells for us. Although, theres been little activity from him recently so we will see

 

[CloudMax]

Ask the_silent about the spells, he is a mystery. We never know what he is doing.
But time to time i comes and send us spells.
But we have remade some of the spells.
