Diablo III Warcraft Beta v1.19b

[CloudMax]

Isnt there a action that lock the camera height in the camera action list? :O
I think there is but i might be wrong.
I havent been got any free time to use world editor for like a week now and im starting to remember things wrong...

http://www.zfgc.com/forum/index.php?topic=33558.0 <-- Thats the game i have been working on for the last week. I might even post it on this site when its getting to the Beta stage, now its just alpha

Version 1.12 Has Arrived!

For a full list of updates, check the main post

__________________________________________


I thought it was time for an update of sorts Blizzard recently featured a new unit on their site, the unburied, which is now featured in the game

theres also a load of bug fixes, and some new terraining in a few areas

__________________________________________


People have been waiting a long time for the new skills and inventory, but I thought I'de make a few mini updates while they are being made to keep people interested

 

[CloudMax]

you didnt use the version i gave you? Did you?
I just want to know :-}
But i think you didnt.

 

[CloudWolf]

I just want to know :-}
But i think you didnt.

lol, yea Dnt worry! Your boss isnt featured in this version anywhere whatsoever

I just thought it was time for a mini update to keep people interested xD Its mostly bug fixes, with a few new additions

 

[CloudMax]

but i had made a diablo 3 like hero selection system and fixed the witch doctor hover bug xD
But w/e, it really needed some updates.
The only problem is that it takes hours of hours to import the boss later on and the doodads height will reset when i import it to the new version :S

 

[ProfessorZmurge]

Finally updated :O

Its true, but i cant really afford to put everything on hold until its done :/ Otherwise we're gonna have huge gaps between updates xD and people are gonna lose interest.

Let me worry about the importing

 

[Tha Flamestorm]

Woot new ver, tyvm.

Just downloaded, going to take a look at it play it all the way through and post some feed back. Either way I'm looking forward to the completed release in the form of 1.12b or 1.13?

*edit* The information at the top of the page is still out of date: Last Updated: 22:13, 3rd Mar 2009 Also, the picture is not updated, not sure if you just don't have a new JPEG ready to upload or what, just wanted to point it out.

We can also create "Event" maps that we only host once a month or something and we have to put a password at the start of the game for it to start and have special epic items and stuff that only is accessible at several times of the year, that would be fun xD

I would love to see something like that. Obviously not only a few times a year, but perhaps release side maps with only a few bosses in them that would drop good loot but that would be to an extent exceptionally difficult. Then with the normal save/load codes you could then load your hero into what ever other maps are released, ranging from this idea of small dungeon like maps with exclusive boss encounters to the normal insanely large maps that NewGen allow you to make where you traverse the lands utterly destroying all in your way! - with of cores those new fancy items you got from the harder side projects!

*edit*

Finally got around to play 1.12 and I must say, it is looking pretty good. You fixed a lot of the grammar errors, and simple English mistakes. I haven't played it all the way through yet. Actually playing right now >> What I have see so far that I feel needs changed is...

Items:

Soulstone Necklace - things to change - "This necklace has the soul of a demon's soul..." a little bit redundant don't you think?

Also the armor that grants Illumination, the buff is still listed as Cloak of Flames. (I forget the exact name of the item, I will edit asap)

Bosses:

Thousand Pounder - Why the model change? The Abomination was perfect.

*edit*

Alright, just played the game all the way through, it is definitely shaping up well, the assault beast is challenging with 2 people, but definitely well balanced now. I'll keep editing this post for the next few days with any ideas, or things I come across. Keep up the good work Wolf!

 

[ZiborG]

Good job man you have done a very good work the map is very good

Thanks for the review! And ty for pointing out those bugs I'll have them fixed for 1.13

As for the thousand Pounder, I changed it just to make the new version slightly different, althought I must admit I can see what you mean xD I'll probably change it back at some point

We can also create "Event" maps that we only host once a month or something and we have to put a password at the start of the game for it to start and have special epic items and stuff that only is accesable at serveral times of the year, that would be fun xD

Tyrael looks to badass to get removed now but if we have to, he will be gone. I guess alot of people will kill us if we remove him but do we have a chooice? :/

I'm all for that It just means that every time we add a new epic item, its gonna need to be added to every single map, which in turn means we're gonna have a lot of versions on our hands :S If we do this, then these new "one off" epic maps should be made to fit with each major update For example, every time we update the game, we could make 2 - 3 of these maps to fit with the version, and host them whenever we like

 

[Oziris]

I am not impressed, why haven't you made the FSI all ready?

 

[CloudMax]

You didnt add a Lock Camera mode?
Oziris, to be honest, idk what you even mean with that xD

 

[CloudWolf]

I am not impressed, why haven't you made the FSI all ready?

LTGH has other commitments, so he cant be working on it day and night xD It involves a lot of coding, and if anything, we're only gonna need it once the save/load codes are introduced For a single map that lasts 1 hour, a FSI would be rather confusing :/

Dont worry though. it will be done eventually

Things take a lot longer when you bring in outside help, as I'm no longer working at my own pace =[

You didnt add a Lock Camera mode?
Oziris, to be honest, idk what you even mean with that xD

I tried it, but it really doesnt work :/ Every time the camera is locked, the hero disapears off the screen for most of the map, because of the difference in terrain height xD

If I can find a way to lock the camera height to the height of the unit, then it would work

 

[CloudMax]

Cloudwolf, you should check out the map i sended you. I think it contains the small selection system i made, maybe you can do something like that on your own ^_^

 

[CloudWolf]

I'll take a look now

Also, just so you know what i mean, this is what a locked camera looks like :/

 

[CloudMax]

Yeah, it sucks when that happens, the camera doesnt follow the character, just the characters X Y position and if you lower it the unit will stand at the exact position of the camera.
Damn blizzard!

 

[baboolaba]

good map love the work you put into it just feels a bit lacking in terms of abiltys and characters(no necromancer!? WTF!!) could also use a wanderer merchant to use gold also make decard invul or give him high evade or atleast higher hp regain cuz he drops...fast

Its based on Diablo 3 Necromancer is a Diablo 2 character and wont be returning for number 3 ^^ soz!

But dont worry, I'll be adding the new classes as soon as blizzard reveals what they are

 

[CloudMax]

Baboolaba... No, no and no.
We wont add a vendor, that would destroy to much of the gameplay.
Necromancer is not in Diablo 3 T__T
And decard is suppost to be able to get killed, the point is to rescue him, did you even read something of what the dialogue said? :S
How often is people invul? :S

Edit: CloudWolf, your to fast! ;D

It's true ^^ Deckard cain can die, and I was meant to add some sort of reward for saving him, but it slipped my mind :O I'll make sure theres a reward for keeping him alive for 1.13

 

[CloudMax]

You still havent made the teleport event idea with cain that i said befor.
Maybe make two paths? If cain survives you get teleported, of he dies you gotta "find" another way out.

 

[CloudWolf]

For anyone thats interested, im going to be hosting this on Northrend at 4:30 GMT, which is about 10 mins from now

I'm gonna be recording some footage for the new trailer

Just whisper me "CloudWolf" in game if you wanna take part

 

[Tha Flamestorm]

Looks cool, but tubbylub is not in the right place, needs to be near cain and before the skello king, lol.


And i extend my Invitation to join our rather, unique clan.....http://www.lomm.co.nr/

Northrend?cool ill make an acc. there and add u, prepare to be stalkered!

You are 4 hours late, check when he made the post befor telling us that your joining >.<

Double Post.

And i extend my Invitation to join our rather, unique clan.....Clan LoM

He is almost never online on battle.net, most of the times he just loggin to test the latest version. And i think he dont have time to join a clan and an entirely other site. This is our home, hive is the shit.
BTW, Why didnt i get an invitation? o.o

Triple Post.

I think this would be a fantastic idea. I certainly understand where you're coming from in terms of how many versions would be floating around if you continuously released mini-map dungeons, etc. you would have to then create the save/load code for every other map already out. ha ha.

Regardless, if you don't intend to use gold/lumber/food for anything. I would love to see that part of them map changed in the Game Interface. Maybe list your name @ Gold, LTGHs @ Lumber, and then what ever else @ Food and Upkeep tabs.

Again, these are all ideas for the future, the point of the maps you're releasing now is for fine tuning, getting things were you want them, things of that nature. Either way; keep up the good work!

 

[CloudMax]

Gold and Mana will be used later on for our inventory system.
Lumber > Lives (increase when you equip revive item, decrease when you unequip it, this is so you fastly can see how many live s you have)
Gold > The amount of attribute points you have, you will be able to choose stats yourself later on but that will require some major balancing.
Lumber > Can be used for Map version, list of the team and the adress "www.hiveworkshop.com" at the bottom?

btw, the event maps was my idea. x) Im soooo smart.

 

[Bartimaeus]

Couldn't you adjust the camera height corresponding to the ground height of the character?

For example, you could have the camera height 100 higher than the current ground height of the character at ALL times. Thus, when your character moves up, so does the camera.

It occured to me, but I cant find a trigger for that sort of thing anywhere xD lol

Its true, in the gameplay videos the thousand pounder does appear in a room like that However, this map isnt meant to be an exact remake as you've probably guessed It features content listed from all over the diablo website, and has been bunged together into a single map

 

[The_Silent]

Its a Jass action that tests terrain high, i can send you a camera system based on it when I send you the other Witch Doctor spells.

 

[Takahuja]

If it wont bother you I would like to ask you if you´re going to implent theRune System

 

[CloudMax]

That question has been up befor and so far, the answer is no.
But we will make an entirly new inventory system, check out my albums and you will see how it will look.

Would be awesome if you could and ty ^^

I'm not really prepared to spend the time remaking all the items to incorporate this :/ It would take hours of work lol

However! saying that, I may introduce some higher level items that can be fused with runes or something Nothings set in stone yet though

 

[niccolo]

well very well
i hope that you creat more maps like this .

 

[Ancient World-GOD]

Good map i download it now and i must try it

Good Luck

I may not be able to play you game but that doesn't mean I won't when I get my own laptop (sometime in the future) I AM SUPPORTING YOU THE WHOLE WAY!

 

[baboolaba]

noooooooOOOO i loved the necromancer!!!!! i loved his minion army!!! well is druid atleast there??

 

[Lumograph090]

noooooooOOOO i loved the necromancer!!!!! i loved his minion army!!! well is druid atleast there??

Hey guy, reading is super hard!

This map is based off of Diablo 3 and the Diablo 3 trailer we have see so far. So unless it was released or discussed on the Diablo3 website, it will not be in this game.

 

[CloudWolf]

noooooooOOOO i loved the necromancer!!!!! i loved his minion army!!! well is druid atleast there??

As far as I can tell, the witch doctor has replaced the necromancer in diablo III He has some similar summoning style moves to create armies with

The Rune System affects the spells I.e Teleport with greater Fire Rune leads to massive fire AoE damage around the teleport station

There´s no chance that you´ll implent it??

You never know If I do, it will probably be one of the last things I add though

This is still very much a draft version, so anything could change The idea sounds good though

also, new trailer! whooo

YouTube - Diablo III Warcraft Trailer

(except theres a bug preventing me from actually posting it xD)

 

[CloudMax]

Just some basic faqs from blizzard.
Barbarian is the only playable class that will be added from the old diablo game. All the others will be replaced.

Gonna check the trailer now.

 

[arthas_king]

YAY new ver of diablo 3 beta

 

[CloudMax]

I just watched the video cloud, good work =)
Add &fmt at the end of the url and the quality will increase, not much but its better then low quality

 

[bboy-tiger-]

Necromancer will be "maybe" included in D3 expansion, as they notice i think.
And rune system from d3 isnt hard to make, not so hard as runes in d2 that regards items; in d3 runes are related to spells. Good work guyz.

 

[Super-Sheep]

loool cloud is clicker ^^

 

[CloudMax]

Why would they add necromancer in D3 Expansion when they said that barbarian will be the only playable character from D1 & D2 and only barbarian.
I dont think they would lie about a major thing like that and i think its more fun to explore new classes insted of playing the old ones.

And what the heck do you mean by "not hard to make"? You gotta be kidding me -.-'
Blizzard never made a "socket item" trigger you know :[
It takes a while to make it good and functional.

I'll admit, the actual system wont be hard to make, its the spells that go with it xD We would have to create several versions of each spell to fit with the runes :/ and thats gonna take a lot of effort now that were making triggered abilities xD

I may get round ot it eventually, but its not my top priority for now

 

[CloudMax]

What i mean is that it would be wierd if we add it.
Becouse if we add it, we will have to remove it when my inventory comes.
And like you said, we have to edit several spells.

Other faqs: I still have no freaking idea of how im suppost to make a pickup system and i think im totaly stuck to be honest :/
Thats all i need and im done and i feel so stupid of not doing that first since the system is shit without anpickup system.
