IMPORTANT NOTICE:

WC3 Error-__-

no idea what happened, yesterday i could play the map just fine but today i get error and wc3 closes
if anybody knows a way to solve this, please help

additional info:
i tried playing other maps too and i could play them fine, the problem seems to occur only with Dualism..

old retarded joke:
i use to play Dualism on wc3 but then i took an arrow to the knee.

 

[Darkt3mpl3r]

Rather unimpressed by the map itself. Overall atmosphere looks alright for war3 but the buggy camera/movement/sound functions kills it. But then again it's easy to explain why looking at the code you of your "Advanced Camera System", lol. Did you really put money into this map? Odd why you call it a "closed beta pool" btw.

True Story'z
But, it mean you must set the video option to high

 

[Sverkerman]

@Darkt3mpl3r

It is rather rude of you to judge my map without playing it. Also, a lot of bugs was found when my beta testers tested it.
The camera & movement system is as good as you can possibly get inside Warcraft 3. No better has simply been made.

I do not understand what you mean with buggy sound functions. All sounds are triggered perfectly.

Did you really put money into this map?

Yes, $573

Odd why you call it a "closed beta pool" btw.

What do you mean by this?


@Xorkatoss
hm... I've never got that ;P
I think it is graphic related so make sure that you are playing it will all the settings on high and the highest resolution your monitor allows.

 

[xorkatoss]

True Story'z
But, it mean you must set the video option to high

yeah that fixxed it pretty much, i was lowering the settings so i could increase the fps, i tested it and you can play the map at everything Low and shadows/oclussion off but Texture Quality must be High for some reason

 

[Sverkerman]

@xorkatoss
Thank-you for that information. I will include that in the Map Section thread.

 

[FRENGERS]

@xorkatoss
Thank-you for that information. I will include that in the Map Section thread.

LoL'z you should thanked to me because i help him
The solution as i said there: You must set the video setting to High at all

 

[Sverkerman]

@FRENGERS
Fine, here have some rep

 

[FRENGERS]

Yeah, you must, because i'am ancient here
Thunk'z Thunk'z
And i'am a pro consultan of PC..
If you need help, just tell me

 

[Darkt3mpl3r]

I don't know why you're implying that I didn't play your map, which I think is rather rude. Seems that one of your beta testers likes to leak a lot. So here's your proof

function AdvancedCameraSystem___Actions takes nothing returns nothing
local real x
local real y
local real angle
local real rz
local real z
local integer i=0
local integer Check
local real CheckDistance
local real DistanceDone
local rect rec

 

[Sverkerman]

@Darkt3mpl3r
That proves that you know what camera and movement system I am using which I've already mentioned, not that you have my map.

Anyhow, if this harrassment is about to continue I'll contact an admin ASAP.

 

[FRENGERS]

Comeon give me the map pleasee.. Y.Y

 

[Darkt3mpl3r]

@Darkt3mpl3r

I am not harrassing you. I just replied to your post. You wanted it, you get it. And really, don't make me upload your map to filehosters. Guess you don't want that, just that I prooved I and servere others have Dualism.w3x on our local computers. Don't worry, I won't. I can just send you you're entire mapscript in a PM. What's more surprising for me is that you want to play this out in your thread rather than per PM.

Good luck in near future with your map.

 

[Sverkerman]

@FRENGERS
Sorry but I cannot do that. The map is only for the beta testers so far. You'll have to wait until Friday-Saturday depending on when I'm getting my microphone.

 

[FRENGERS]

Comeon, why my Skype is so annoying Y.Y

 

[xorkatoss]

LoL'z you should thanked to me because i help him
The solution as i said there: You must set the video setting to High at all

thank you for what? i found how to fix it before i even had the chance to read your comment >_<
anyway thnx from me aswell, if i didn't fix it myself your comment woulld have helped me

and as i said:

i tested it and you can play the map at everything Low and shadows/oclussion off but Texture Quality must be High for some reason

so not everything has to be at High.

EDIT:
the commentary video is progressing good so far!! although the fps is getting lower and lower every minute;/
are you sure you are clearing/removing all leaks?
when i "read" the book all the lag does away but when i enter in first person mode the lag comes back again=/
well it might just be my weak laptop-__- but i never had so much lag, especially in a wc3 map

 

[sonofjay]

Well yeah this is my promise review,

Fun Factor3/5)

Lets see.. yeah that game was fun(and scary) but sometimes the controls are kinda annoying, specially when picking items, I know the purpose of "You need to be near to *action** but I'm having a hard time picking up items, I guess you should add a command to make the camera look up and down, its also useful for places where you need to go up and down since sometimes you're looking right on the floor when climbing up some places.

Scariness4/5)

No doubt that the game was really scary, even for a veteran horror gamer like me, Dualism still gives a creep to me. Plus the story are great and gives me a feel of anxiety.

Innovation: (5/5)

Probably the best Warcraft 3 horror map that I ever played,it taken a higher step for a war3 map, I mean the amount of worked putted on this, really pays off.

Sound6/5)

This is the part that I really love the most, the sounds is the biggest asset of Dualism, it execution is amazing, I mean even a mere rat have its custom sounds, the musics is thrilling, the voice acts are well-recorded and environmental sounds is just amazing.

Art Style: (4/5)

From UI, icon and loading screen are just amazing, but why not add a custom preview image?

Graphics: (4.5/5)

The models used for Dualism is well made, we can't complain more, since it uses almost or all of B2M's high quality models, it really boost the look of the game, and the execution of the terrain is also impressive, the cellar looks good, there caves etc villages, everything is well made, but I feel some emptiness on some parts.


I'm a guy that really hard to impress specially if we're talking about horror games since I'm even disappointed about amnesia(hows that?). But I must say, I'm a bit impress about dualism, specially the fact that its made using the World Editor. Well there are bugs/glitches but we can't complain on it since some of them are cause by the old war3 itself.

My rating is: 4.5/5 I'm looking forward for the full version.

[Sverkerman]

@sonofjay
Thank you for your review! I will improve some of the things mentioned for the Beta Release.

 

[FRENGERS]

And that Graphic are so high resolution and it also the highest currently ( The model'z i mean )
Have Fun'z

 

[sonofjay]

^
Didn't understand a thing

But Let me explain a thing to you FRENGERS, not because of map uses high quality models means the quality gameplay is great, its always on the execution of all the things like the things I mentioned above,

Just to make it clear, I haven't finish the beta yet, and my review will be revised after I finish it tomorrow, those are my first impressions only.

he clearly said no skype = no beta test

off topic

You never be a helper and good guy broe -..-
Oh, so you are awake Cy??

 

[Chaosy]

Indeed, I only got most of my rep by helping. anyways, was not meant to be rude or something I just tell you what sverkerman said himself

 

[Pharaoh_]

I am not harrassing you. I just replied to your post. You wanted it, you get it. And really, don't make me upload your map to filehosters.

Dart3mpl3r, you have no right to threaten people in their own project's thread. Your tone is anything but encouraging and frankly, I don't even understand what are you up to. Consider this as a warning.

 

[sonofjay]

@Dark, you should back-off now, Pharaoh had arrived.

 

[maddeem]

You should turn off the option for health bars, it ruins the feel of the game if u can find the location of everything by pressing alt.
Threatening to give a beta map away to everyone is a JOKE.
Seriously, the worst that would happen is that this thread becomes even more popular.

Sigh.. If only people were threatening to give away my maps lol.
You know you have a good map going on if someone does this xD

Btw I couldn't get skype yesterday so I will either be late to beta test or not beta test at all D:
Guess I'll wait for the final vers like everyone else

thank you for what? i found how to fix it before i even had the chance to read your comment >_<
anyway thnx from me aswell, if i didn't fix it myself your comment woulld have helped me

and as i said:

well it might just be my weak laptop-__- but i never had so much lag, especially in a wc3 map

@Sverkerman You should be setting the max view distance to something lower and don't show the entire map. (At least it looks like you show the entire map in your videos.)

 

[xorkatoss]

@Sverkerman You should be setting the max view distance to something lower and don't show the entire map. (At least it looks like you show the entire map in your videos.)

ahh that, maybe changing camera bounds as the player moves could help reduce the lag.

 

[GIMLI_2]

i have to say.... damn good atmosphere, nice map idea (sth new), but maddeem is right, the hp bars are annoying

 

[Sverkerman]

@maddeem
I'm going to send you a PM with a download link to Dualism Beta. Also the HP bars should be off, I don't understand why they are not. I'll have to take a look into that for sure.

Also, this map is laggy for the laptops. I strongly recommend playing this on a stationary computer and not a laptop.

idk what method you used to hide hp bars but this one is used in BnG and works well:
-set Art - Selection Scale to: -1

done

and no idea how a laptop or desktop computer will make a difference...it's the ram and cpu that matter the most >_<

 

[Codric]

When are you going to release the beta on this thread

 

[Sverkerman]

Once I get my microphone.

 

[Codric]

Oh okay

 

[A]mun]

Hi Sverkerman,

i recently got aware of your project, since Dualism made quite a turmoil. You clearly stated on the first page, that Dualism has been nominated for the map of the month. How can it be? There are 2 days left to vote and Requiem has quite the edge at the moment!?

Am i missing something

 

[Sverkerman]

@A]mun
It got nominated to the pull

Requiem might win. We still have to wait and see

 

[A]mun]

Well...

shouldn't you state then, that you have been nominated for the poll for the map of the month (lol). It's kinda misleading at the moment. What about something like: "Vote for Dualism to become map of the month"?

And by definition Dualism has not been nominated for Map of the month so far.

Am i the first to point this out?

 

[Sverkerman]

Map of the Month is a competition.
Dualism is nominated to this competition.

 

[A]mun]

How did Dualism then become nominated for that?

 

[shinji]

No let's play videos yet? I would want to see someone scream playing this game...

 

[Sverkerman]

@A]mun
Dualism became nominated to it because a lot of people wanted to vote for it.

 

[FRENGERS]

Cannot sleep, open your eyes
Well, thank'z for making that map'z
Will play it soon!!
Just make it 100% completely

 

[xorkatoss]

No let's play videos yet? I would want to see someone scream playing this game...

haha im going to release my commentary vid soon but there aren't really going to be any screams in it.

main reasons for that:
-not scary after playing it for like the third time since you know the story line
-im using push-to-talk function


offtopic:
how to f*cking vote in this f*cking sh*t?

 

[Drunken_Jackal]

I agree. Dualism rocks when I first played it. I got scared and it was like 9 in the morning when I played it. But it lagged in replayability.
One thing to work on Sverker!

I might make a video for it, but no comentary, maybe just subtitles.
Worse comes to worse, just a Warcraft 3 Replay.

well i was going to make one with subtitles too but if you watch vids from other games, usually commentary vids are a lot better and sure a lot faster to make

EDIT:
nvm i found out how to vote and voted for Dualism ofc;D
too bad Requiem has the lead with like 11 votes more than Dualism;/
well at the bright side Dualism is at the third place

EDIT 2:
good news! my Gameplay-Commentary video is done rendering and is currently being uploaded on youtube, going to post it here aswell when it's done if anybody is interested

EDIT 3:
as i promised, here it is:
