Diablo III

[redmarine]

I'm still trying to get a better atmosphere to the map, it's hard without using diffrent lights (they display poorly), also the time of day is wrong etc.

You could disable the day cycle and export the lightning from D3W.

I need the cycle for the outside. I tried the light models from D3W but they didn't display properly (disappearing, reappearing).

Hm... Lets see. In D3W, if I remember correctly, it was possible to turn on day locally for each player. Perhaps while in the dungeon you could disable the day for each player and turn it back on when you're on the outside?

Basically a triggered day/night cyclus.

Won't be necessary as the players will most likely step outside together, at least I intend so by now.
Real problem with lighting is their blending in when walking around. So you step forward and suddenly after this very certain point the environment is suddenly flushed by red light. Now you go a step back again and voila, lighting disappeared even though the scenery is still in the camera's vision.

So dunno if this has to do with these specific light model or whether it is about the camera setting/Wc3 engine and there's nothing really to do about it:X

You can't do much about it since it is very much related to the limitations of the Wc3 engine. However you can always try to make it look as good as possible.

 

[Sheephunter]

so guys here are some models made for the project (made them yesterday)

Upload them :O

Looks like it actually is possible by changing the models extends for examle within magos.

 

[Boneknight]

Upload them :O

no they are only for this project

 

[Sheephunter]

Ahhhh.

 

[CloudWolf]

Yeaaa, its a shame really We have the same lighting problem in D3W When you walk around some of the lighting appears to flash on and off. As far as I know, it's unfixable :/ Although, sometimes you can minimise it by re-positioning the doodads

Also, about the time of day, I used perma midnight for the whole map During daylight, custom lighting doesnt really show up all that well so I just disabled daytime xD

Also, remember to credit Cycloverid (from polycount.net) for those diablo dungeon textures

But yea! Project ooks awesome so far Can't wait to see more

 

[Na_Dann_Ma_GoGo]

Okay thanks, I added him.

Now for the doodad blending problem... you can fix that as I stated.

You just need to import that model into Magos and increase it's extents so that the doodad is recognized earlier ingame.
For the lights I had to have the two necessary texture files in the same folder and I had to add a Name in that window... I just named it "A".
Well with these extents it's working just fine and it didn't bug for me yet.

Edit:
And here a link from Wc3c, though the way Nasrudin did it doesn't really work for this, as the extents are still too low for the bugging doodads. At least hat was the case for me.

 

[Archian]

Yet another Diablo themed dungeon crawler mod for Warcraft.
I like the fact that you're focusing on smooth gameplay with this one, though.
I tend to do the same with D3TFA.

Looks promising so far, I like the blood summon effect for the Thousand Pounder, is that from the HiveWorkshop?

Anyway, just droping by to wish you and your team, good luck!

 

[Na_Dann_Ma_GoGo]

Ah hi there,
visited and do visit your thread on wc3c quite often.

I'd like to mention that I didn't just start with this map some month ago. I intended to do so shortly after I saw the gameplay trailer but didn't get a hang on it until I decided to finally to start some of the first skills like a year ago or so. And I had to learn how to code properly by that time as well... and as no-one knew me I had to create some decent stuff first before I could awake some interest :X

Regarding the blood explosion during the summoning, that's one model out of Will's Blood Explosion pack that he provided to everyone in one of the Diablo 3 Warcraft threads.
For this effect it's scaled by... about 3 or so. Dunno right now. (I mixed 2-3 models for that explosion)

Also good luck with your map, sounds very promising so far!

That's cool, your efforts seem to be beginning to pay of now D3TFA couldn't have reached the stage it is in today, if it weren't for all the people who've contributed. So appreciate every help you can get
Now I hear that some people think I ripped off CloudWolf's map

Ah, I'm not refering to the blood explosion, though

I'm refering to this:

 

[Na_Dann_Ma_GoGo]

Well CloudWolf's Diablo 3 map was the first nice Diablo 3 map and got incredible popular, so on the first blink for the fans every other Diablo 3 map is a bad copy or whatever.
When I first posted my map in another thread 3/4 of the comments were the same and few actually neither downloaded the demo I provided nor read the description^^

Regarding the blood effects.
For that part 3 random blood effects out of a pool of 12 models (mostly Wc3 ones) are played every 0.075 seconds at random positions. Turned out to look quite nice ;s

 

[Deolrin]

Actually, if I remember right, Archian's Diablo map came before CloudWolf's. It's just not yet done. It does looks extremely promising however.

 

[Anachron]

You sure? Archian started 2009, while CW started 2008.

 

[Na_Dann_Ma_GoGo]

And well CloudWolf actually released his map, even if it's called Beta.

I didn't knew about that thread. Sorry, thought you started with the Diablo III Thread.

I wunder how the king boss will be

Nice videos and nice map
The Thousand Pounder fight is very spectacular and the physic system is cool but you should work on the terrain a little bit...
At the moment I work on a Diablo III project too. its in the desert of the Borderlands. Temporary the first version of the map is in german. My knowledge of English is not good enough I search a translator yet.
If you interested, you can watch on my project page :

Hi guys,
sorry for the lack of updates but I'm quite busy at school right now and same goes for Boneknight probably.
However I'm just learning to use the GMSI tool that'll provide much better access to object editor stuff so I can later on save a lot time with items for example.

 

[Frunck]

Give demo :O

 

[Boneknight]

Yep got a lot of things to do for school but i am proud to say that TP will be done this weakend or next one

 

[Belgarath]

in regard to the lights, if you're using just light emitters or w/e they are, there is a maximum to how many you can have in an area, up until the point where they start clipping. you can fix that by moving existing lights onto the center of the clipping, hide the clips with other doodads or so, or just deleting the existing ones (the easiest way)
its really not recommended to use predone emitters, so you have a prelighted path and all as well as light attachments on certain units - especially if there's more than one unit.

Booody, that's called advertisement, and that's not allowed.

Better remove the links.

Hmm okay, hope I understood it correctly.
So is there a light source cap limited for the camera field of view or just generally in the map or areas (like you cannot have more then 5 light emitters within an 200 AoE).
If it's the latter one than I could solved this by creating / removing the light sources dynamically.
Thanks for the infos!

Not atm, I'll see however if I can get you some screenshots later this evening.

 

[ShrEad-ER]

This looks like a very promising map.
I'm a little confused tho, i can't seem to find a dl link for the beta map :S (I did read you took it down or something, but i really wanna test this map ).

I also raped you. NO WAIT!! I mean... reped you*

We took down the demo since it's outdated.

That sucks...
It just seems like a very promising map. You can't put up a demo? (like an pre-alpha test?)
I really wanna test this thing D:

Yay !
This map is gonna pwn Diablos face

 

[Na_Dann_Ma_GoGo]

Yah well right now there's still little progress as I have no time at all. I need to learn for some very important tests at school : (

Okay, i guess i'll just wait then.
But what have you added since the Youtube video?

 

[T4r4nt1n0]

What about the terrainers?
Do you need them to?

 

[Na_Dann_Ma_GoGo]

Okay I now got more time working on the map again and polish up the dungeon stuff and try some new skills for the Witch Doctor to make him more interesting.

Unfortunately BoneKnight seems to be still too busy to do anything even though he promised it multiple times :/
Thus we're still looking for modeler and texturer! So if you're experienced and interested p.m. me or Syltman
@ T4r
Nah, for now we're not exactly looking for a terrain. May change in future but we'll see.

 

[Catch_ya]

Yah well right now there's still little progress as I have no time at all. I need to learn for some very important tests at school : (

How come you think that school is more important than Warcraft 3!?!?!?!?!? [/Sarcasm]
I think it is much better that you focus on school instead of Warcraft. It is much more important and you can always work on the Diablo III map when you have a little freetime or something.
By the way, I love this project especially the physics.

 

[arphax214]

wow this project is awesome hope you finish this..whats gonna your other next project after this dante's inferno,clash of the titans?

 

[PROXY]

mhm, I think you shouldn't ask them for new projects:
first: you don't know if they even make a new one
second: this map is far away being finished (i hope this is right )
third: they're currently busy with RF soo...

anyway, I <B the physics and I hope this map will get more diablo 3 hackn'slash feeling than the Diablo 3 Warcraft, wich is pretty standard wc3 (don't want to say their map isn't also good )

 

[Sheephunter]

So...
Any new stuff added yet?

 

[syltman]

I'm improving the previous parts of the terrain, polishing it trying to improve it's epicness.

edit: But new stuff... no not really.

 

[syltman]

Bump with wips of the outside, rocks might change etc. just want the feedback. The fog is perhaps a tad dense.

Also expect more updates to be coming soon ^^

 

[Deolrin]

Well, it lacks a lot of environmental doodads for one.

Yeah, perhaps grass and such.

Just want trees and bushes to remain kinda like a background.
