Diablo III Warcraft Beta v1.19b

[redmarine]

It's so dark just because you were over an unexplored area, right?.

It's dark because of the whole atmosphere and because of my computer. My computer makes screenies a bit darker than they actually are. We're using version 1.08 to develop this inventory system and CloudWolf has confirmed that the game is brighter in 1.18 so don't worry.

Will there be attachments in the inventory system?

(You equip a sword, then, your model hav that sword!)

It Would be reeeeeeaaaaally nice to see.
And with attachments, this map will look more like the real Diablo!

Sadly we don't have barbarian, witch doctor or a wizard model without any gear. Though I should mention that the inventory system is capable of supporting attachments without any changes. This means in case we do get models we could easily implement attachments if the map doesn't get too big.

Aye As redmarine said, if attachments were to show, we would need an unarmed version of the models we've used However, before we can do this, we would need permission from the original model makers anyway

Although, we also have to be carefull with the filesize This map is going to feature hundreds of items once we have finished all 3 of the starter maps. and that would mean a lot of attachment models :S

Even if we dont decide to use attachments for all the items, I guarantee that there will still be a few for the higher level items, so players will have something to work towards

 

[saphiree]

cool so you also make levels to items? So a character in lvl 8 cant use a item to lvl 10? that would be awesome. But you should wait do that until you made the other maps and the save codes

Piece of cake. But that should not be added befor we get a save/load system cus when you find items now you want to be able to equip it, otherwise it will get to hard. But if you later will be able to start at different levels, a level required system would be good to have.
And this is also a piece of cake to add into the system.

Less talking about the future guys...still a long journey to that

its important to have fast releases...otherwise the rumors about this project will fall apart. It`s a sad truth.

Wish you the best.

I havent seen any rumors about that so far. and we do keep you guys updated in this thread all the time, so i dont understand what you are talking about. And faster releases.. you gotta be kidding me. Its already like 1000000 versions of this map and we updated all the time but now there isnt any small things that needs to be fixed all the time and that makes it go a little slower. And CW was on Skiing holiday too, that made the progress slower.

And if we dont think of the future, this map might not have a future at all. We always need to know what we are going to do, otherwise it will end up with a slow.. dead... ending....

Dont worry, this project is far from finished I just dont have much time to work on it right now as ive got several uni coursework deadlines coming up However, after that, I assure you updates will be a lot smoother than they are right now xD

 

[Waterwalk]

I didn't flame you guys

I know only out of my work..less milestones are better...too much time is getting lost in meetings and conversations about what can we do.

The envolving of a project is better to have some huge milestones and work to them...the rest will be done in fine tuning.

And course work...hell ya...i understand you totally...back to that time i had them too...annoying stuff - but as you said: University over all


Of course there were some rumors over them i got to this page...in some german computer pages (gamestar, pcgames, ...) were a link to this project....the german diablo community is huge

cya,

water

 

[Edhel-dur]

I'd have a suggestion related to "difficulty level". . .in D2 the more players....the more minions spawned. . .even though I finished 1.17 4-5 times, I could say an increase in the number of creeps would do it's job, especially on begining where mana isnt found anywhere ^_^

Well, i post reaaally before a post with an unarmed an 'unbannered' hellscream (because that flag in hes back doesnt look like the real barbarian) but CW said to that these model was too heavy for the map... (Stupid 4mb limit!) But, if you guys finish the map one day, will be great to see a complete campaign of this. (custom models and so.) For Now, I cant WAIT TO THE INVENTORY SYSTEM!!

 

[CloudMax]

I cant WAIT TO THE INVENTORY SYSTEM!!

I cant wait eigther! It just have to be awesome! I watched all LTGHs posts and pics and it looks godly! I hope he completes it till version 1.18.
Ohh... wait.... thats me..............

Thnx Xezko =)

 

[redmarine]

Stop pressuring me

Anyway, I made some small progress on the inventory today but sadly the locals screwed up the map. I salvaged whatever I could and fled one version back. Luckily I create 1 backup per day.

I'll try again when I wake up,

lol yea I remember that!

I'm still considering the use of attachments for all items. I suppose if theres room, we could have a generic model for each item type. E.g. All sword items use the same sword model. That could take down the filesize a lot

We could always add a few extra models to make the "epic" items look more epic

Just an idea though, theres no plans set in stone as of yet

That was exactly what i was going to say to you.
Epic items may have their own attachment models but all normal items with the same type should have to same model to keep the size down.

But first of all, we need to find a way to give the inventory system the space it needs. RM (redmarine) and i was going to play online and then we saw.. "ohh..." its 5300KB... But ofc we have a HUGE amount of unused textures and such things from the first version of the inventory befor we changed the layout to Diablo 3. ;P

http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/maps.php?of=downloads&order=DESC&r=20
200 more downloads to go and we are in top 4! =D

 

[redmarine]

The only task I got left is to fix the damn multiboard. Why doesn't HIDE ALL WORK USING LOCALS!

Warcraft III Maps
200 more downloads to go and we are in top 4! =D

I'm sure we can make the space We could always slightly decrease texture qualites across the map to reduce filesize We can also remove the Tyrael boss, and feature him in another map seeming as his model takes up 1mb of the map size

And yes, I have removed a fair few unused imports since that map version, so theres probably a little extra space anyway

 

[redmarine]

The current filesize is 4,41 MB. It's not that extreme.

 

[saphiree]

aaaw gay blizzard. We should sue them! XD

 

[CloudMax]

aaaw gay blizzard. We should sue them! XD

uhmmm.. wut? For what reason, lol..?
Even if its a joke i wonder why the heck you said it?

 

[saphiree]

cus they wont help make the map size limit bigger. They've just forgotten everything about WC3 and make silly updates which dont does anything really :S

 

[CloudMax]

Uhmm.. I rather see a good starcraft 2 then a warcraft 3 with a bigger size limit.
They quited working on warcraft 3 long ago, all they do is some small updates that DOES SOMETHING like fixing errors like this one > when editing standard maps in world editor and then be able to host it...
Dont expect them to update wc3, its to old. Its better if they work on SC2 insted.

 

[redmarine]

We're not having a filesize crysis anyway. Don't worry we'll be fine.

EDIT: The multiboard is fully functional now. Going to fix some other minor bugs now.

 

[saphiree]

lol, i dont think it will take too much of them to make the file size limit higher. I also rather want a better and maybe faster comming starcraft 2 (actually more than Diablo III XD), than a warcraft 3 map size limit increase. But still it would be great with bigger maps

Did you remove Tyrael to lower size in map? Or is he still there?

He's still in the map. I think we're going to try to keep him but if he takes up too much space he gets the kick.

 

[saphiree]

oka. Whats the file size of him anyway? It must be quite big since he can give you that much space, and he also looks pretty awesome with tons of details.

 

[CloudWolf]

Well, chances are he wont be in the current map However, theres probably going to be around 3 maps in this series, so hes bound to be in at least one of them

 

[bboy-tiger-]

wc3 map size is probbly created for bnet, 4mb is long time downloading. they probbly put it 4 mb coz of special custom maps by blizzard.
I cant wait to see SC2 editor and i wonder which file size would be SC2 maps.

Anyway on what are you working now in d3 ?

Maybe you guyz could expand this map to few sub maps, after trailer is finished(as you map too) you could add new maps with new scenario and own ideas.

 

[saphiree]

lol -_- If you read earlier posts you would get answers.
They're making inventory system atm. And extra maps will be made they said. They're gonna make many maps (think they said 3), and also add a save/load system.

As for the SC2 map limit i have no idea, but i really hope they make it bigger than for WC3. They almost have to as the models there will be made for it will be much better quallity than those for WC3.

Does Blizzard's plan on combining the WoW servers with Battle.net 2.0 mean anything to you? I guess they're going to raise the filelimit.

 

[CloudWolf]

Aye 3 maps is what we're aiming for However, theres bound to be some expansion's Think of it like an MMORPG. You will get the base maps with the first release, but we will add new maps into the game as though they are an expansion

There's also going to be a website where you will be able to download all the maps as a set, rather than individually on the hive

I think a campaigne would be a great idea,too. There you can use as much space as u want

Although a campaign is fantastic for single player, you cannot host a campaign online which kinda defeats the object of this project :S nice idea though

Well this was kinda ment like..."Hey we have done 3 awesome maps and I'm bored now, lets do a campaign"

 

[CloudWolf]

I would'nt worry too much After we've finished 3 maps and released them, we will begin work on the expansion maps so there wont be any sitting around

After finishing the first map, production of the next 2 should take a fraction of the time I'm going to use the original map as a template so all the systems and data will be transfered across instantly, meaning theres no need to remake them

In other news, we have a website in production!

This will pretty much also allow us to remake some triggers for optimization.

Is v1.18 ready for primetime soon? Let me know before because the inventory system is almost leaving beta stage(meaning it's done).

I'll send you a almost functional version to see for yourself. I'm going to test the map with LTGH later if he's available.

 

[CloudMax]

In other news, we have a website in production!

Wow.. really? =)
LTGH: That is awesome [awesome]x2!
But dont bother having [forum] there.

I agree with LTGH here. No forums. They tend to be rather nasty but it'll save our time to use TheHiveworkshop because we get free moderation.

 

[CloudWolf]

We certainly do If you want to see it in production you can go to:

Diablo III Warcraft

Keep in mind that its still being made, so a lot of the content isnt online yet

And yea, I know what you mean about the forum Theres no point if we've got the hive I've sent Ralle a PM asking about the situation regarding Hosted Projects, so if we can get our own hive forum, it would solve all our problems once and for all xD

EDIT: I'm afraid there's a slight problem on the v1.18 front xD I went home and made loads of changes a few days back, and I forgot to send it back to my computer at uni xD

I'll give my brother a ring, as he's home at the moment so hopefully he can send me it

In terms of completion, my changes for 1.18 are very nearly ready

Sweet! The site looks awesome. I hope Ralle can give us a Hosted Forum, the would solve pretty much everything.
In the about section, instert my avatar i use on hive there, im using it everywhere
Edit: Yay, i got my avatar on your site =D

 

[CloudWolf]

wow... I just checked out the current inventory

What can I say? Its practically perfect xD You guys have outdone yourselves

Only key things I can point out is to disable character movement when the inventory is open I managed to move my hero into some creeps and die whilst using the inventory which wasnt so fun :S

Other than that though, amazing job! +rep (at least i would, but apparently i gave rep to you too recently)

 

[redmarine]

I want my avatar as well thanks.

We'll hurry to finish the inventory.

 

[CloudWolf]

Just added the new icons to the site!

 

[CloudMax]

This may be a dumb question but i wonder if you POSSIBLY could make a "News" panel that you only can access by password so all of us (You, me RedMarine) can post news. Would be good to have But right now everything is one single html file and the news isnt separate, right?

Yea The thought had occured to me to add member accounts I do know a small amount of php / mysql, but I'll have to learn how to do it first

I'n the meantime, you can always PM me something on here, and I'll add it

[redmarine]

News: Windows 7 won't allow me to play the map via Custom Game and on Battle.net... -.-

 

[CloudMax]

Cloud! I forgot something, could you add a simple line in the about section at my profile that says "Garena ID: LTGH" cus when i play this map on garena they start calling me noob for taking one of the creators name :S Quite anoying...
