Diablo III Warcraft Beta v1.19b

[CloudMax]

Even a noob who is new to the Hive knows this is a great map but I wonder why yous guys aren't getting the Directors cut Moderation....

Becouse it lack some things.
The gameplay is still a bit "meehhhh.." It needs more hack and slash gameplay.
We are still fighting with bugs.
And we have some problems regarding such things as the inventory.
But i think we could reach a 5/5 if we work harder

 

[Vercas]

It needs some role playing elements. Pure hack and slash sound tough, eh?

Diablo is a hack and slash game. :O
Have you watched the gameplay videos?
The big mobs in our map dies in like 3 hits in the videos, but you also get damaged like hell when they hit you. In d3 your suppost to avoid attacks while you do massive damage to a massive amount of units etc.
And our map doesnt have that

 

[IronForge]

Well its a very good map, too bad its no longer open source... don't get the point actually, shouldn't we all be cooperating to advance the state of mapping in warcraft? Don't understand why you don't like others to use your 'best' triggers.
Just my .02

It is quite possible that the map will become open-sourced again for version 1.20.

The reason why it isn't open-sourced is because we need to optimize the map to make the map as battle.net friendly as possible. It's not like our triggers are worth protecting for.

Ah allright thanks. +repped.
Thing is, for visual learners like me, the best way to learn is to open up and reverse engineer a map.

Yeay, rep to all

 

[redmarine]

Yeay, rep to all

Thanks.

CloudWolf, when did you start on the project?

 

[CloudWolf]

Thanks.

CloudWolf, when did you start on the project?

Late November last year. So we're almost coming up to our 1 year anniversary since production started! For good measure, lets say it was the 29th

Although, the map has only been playable since 3rd Jan 2009 so I don't know if we're allowed to celebrate just yet

 

[Oziris]

My birthday is on 29th, make my wish come true and release the 1.19v, pretty please

 

[CloudWolf]

v1.19 is actually very nearly ready for release We've still got some tweaking to do but all the major changes have been done.

It should hopefully be out before the 29th so your in luck!

 

[redmarine]

Problem solved

Well how do I put this...

(drew this yesterday)

Might tell you guys that I accidentally ruined my computer. I got no drivers for my graphic card meaning I am unable to play any game nor open any 3D stuff.

 

[Craka_J]

Look up your video card and search for drivers on their site. If you have an Nvidia graphics card, just go to the NVIDIA site and it gets you all the drivers easily.

Tried. I'll get my special driver CD once I get home next week.

I simply wanted to tell that I won't be able to do squat.

 

[supertoinkz]

wth the Crypt Lord boss has no attack sounds?

 

[Vengeancekael]

Lol now the developers can't stay on topic : - )

I hope the invenory bug is fixed in v1.19(so that wizards can dual wield)

Sadly we will not be making any fixes for the inventory in the next release. Although, we do plan on revamping the inventory for version 1.20 and make it better.

How we will do this is still under discussion.

 

[CloudWolf]

Basically, the current inventory is a lost cause. It's a million times more complicated than it needs to be, and there's several bugs which we've had no luck fixing This is one of the main reasons we are starting a new one from scratch

However! For v1.19, I'll be re-skinning the current inventory to not include the slots that do not work I'll also be adding a few extra items to the random-drop pool to create a little more diversity

v1.19 should be upon us soon

I've got 2.5 at my lowest score. Sadly, I no longer have Vista or 7 for some issues, but I had 8 on my graphics card.

And how about implementing the BX-TRS II for 1.20?
It's very easy to use and in Diablo (2) style.
Try using WoW icon borders, or custom ones and you'll make a nice one.

 

[Catch_ya]

nice thanks guys rep for u aswell GL!

We have already said to many times that we wont use it :O
We want a fast and easy to use system that even can be used during combat and when you still have controll over you character.
BX-TRS II is as far away from that as you can get.
And this is also why we want to make a new one.

:|

 

[Vengeancekael]

So i guess the main thing that will be changed in v1.19, is the "beauty" of the map?

Pretty much Almost every area within the map has been improved.

Theres also some other minor updates in other areas too, such as bug fixes and the new monk class

Just let me finish my version of the BX-TRS II and you'll see.
I open the TcX core to extract data such as custom bonuses, oh and it works during combat. You have to remove/comment out just one line. You can also have another multiboard while the FSI isn't open.

But eh, as you wish. I think it's pointless to try to convince you anymore.

Yay i'm excited. Also, will he have the custom attack system you mentioned before?(in v 1.19)

 

[Noobius]

This question has probably already been answered... but ill just ask away like the noob I am. Was Tyrael in the video tutorial because I didn't watch it completely and if he was why was he deleted from the map? just asking don't be offended if you find this offending.

 

[Vengeancekael]

He deleted tyrael, because his model took too much space and they removed it, so they could add more content.

As VengeanceKael rightly said, the tyrael model was just too big in terms of file size. He took up approximately 1mb. At the time the max size limit was 4mb, and 1/4 of the total size on one model just wasn't acceptable for us

However! Now that the max size-limit has been increased to 8mb, we've got plans to re-make the Tyrael boss fight better than ever for v1.20

 

[Noobius]

oh... all good. The scene when I get stunned by this librarian guy and a corpse drags me off only showed up once then I played it again the it wouldn't show.

That would be the Achivist. He's a prick.

 

[CloudMax]

Yay! New ver

And we are in the author list now :')

 

[Kl3sk]

I too miss Tyrael...my favourite character in Diablo II (haven't played Diablo III yet,only seen game play) - Wish you would've added him in this version though. *sigh* Models and terrain are awesome! 5/5 no question about it!

Diablo 3 isnt even out.

 

[Awnman]

I hope you will improve it to campaign with long time to play

 

[Vercas]

God! I'm gonna play it immediately!

 

[Oziris]

Congratz on the 1.19v!

 

[Tha Flamestorm]

I cant play it omg, it wont fucking work omg, wtf? omg!

Put the map in the Download folder. Make sure you're not having multiple copies of it inside the Map folder as it can cause problems.

Also make sure to update to version 1.24.

 

[Narrat0r]

Still no attachment system?

And camera keeps shaking while my character walks...

We said that cant add attachment system yet..
How can it be so hard for people to read nowdays >.<

And is it so hard to see that our characters already wields weapons, we cant just put another on top of it.

We do the important stuff first..

 

[Amigurumi]

new version, yay!

some buggs:
1) if your inventory is full, you cannot pick up healing/mana globes. (they were destroyed and appear at your feets without healing you)
2) when deckard dies, I didn't lose and after I killed the skeleton king, he just respawned and walked into the room.

was fun to play, keep it up!

 

[Na_Dann_Ma_GoGo]

Okay, played it for about 15min and stopped because I was too lazy to search the switch for the door. I'll mention what I think needs to be improved.

-too much blood
Don't play the blood effects that often, the effects by willy are just too huge to be used on every ghoul etc. That also makes em less special and reduces performance.

-camera frequency
Increase the frequency for the camera adjustment. Even though the framerate seems to be much better now the low camera frequency gives everything a laggy touch

-monk (well this is rather Taylors business ;> )
-too thin
-doesn't look warcraftish overall and thus doesn't fit
-the portrait seems to be bugged (looks like it's interrupted all the time)
-and most important, the animations suck hard regarding their speed and well... the kick is just awkward, I told him already but he didn't wanna change :<

-and you may check out his attack range ingame, looks like it was a bit too far for a melee, but uncertain about that

Well, the thing is that the switch is basically the trap which opens the door.

-too much blood
Don't play the blood effects that often, the effects by willy are just too huge to be used on every ghoul etc. That also makes em less special and reduces performance.

Well, would perhaps be a good idea to make it 50/50?

I agree with Na_Dann_Ma_GoGo, there are too much blood 'explosions'.
They look really nice, but there are too many, if every enemy (ghuls en masse) dies with a big fountain of blood. Just create that effect every 4th kill, or if it's possible if the damage is 3x larger than the life of the unit, when it dies. (the 3x is only a suggestion.)

 

[Narrat0r]

What about the shaking camera?

 

[redmarine]

What about the shaking camera?

Hmm, is anyone else having this issue?

Before we released the map we had no camera issues.

 

[CloudWolf]

I'm quite happy to reduce the amount of blood if its a popular request Personally I love the amount of blood xD But I'm here to give the players what they want, not what I want

What about the shaking camera?

I was under the impression we fixed that bug? None of the players who helped test the map reported it, and there were quite a few testers :S I'm hoping that's not the same as the old bug?

I'd like a little more info please Does your camera shake permanently, and fall during cinematics? or are you just talking about the rate at which the camera follows the hero? In which case, I can just adjust the frequency of the trigger
