Dwarven Airship Themed Campaign

[DwarfZealot]

yeah the cloud idea is awesome, so is the ground texture one, By the way I accually have almost finished the airships. All I need is someone who is good with magos to make the propellers spin and the cannons give off flame when they shoot. I have started work on the flying version of Nazrook, it shouldn't take too long.

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

This campaign really sounds intresting and original, I really hope you speed up work on it!

 

[DoOs_101]

I mentioned the ground texture being a sky, anyone here have the capability of making textures? This part is really important.

 

[DwarfZealot]

I can make textures

 

[Callahan]

You can use the skybox and alphaed terrain so that it look really like sky and not a skycarpet.The idea is from Rao dao zao.

 

[DwarfZealot]

yah i was thinking that, but the skybox would need to be enlarged and a bottom added to it (the normal one dosen't have a bottom).

 

[DoOs_101]

Is there a tutorial on skybox? or a brief how to use it

 

[Flobulon]

I've been wondering if theres a way to give the skybox a bottom too(without the use of advanced modeling programs).

I'm really liking the way this project is going, sounds like it will be interesting to play.

 

[Chaos Overlord]

Great job on Nazrook, I think he looks really cool with the way you did his head. Look like something from a movie with like mutants. And I like it that way. WEWT

 

[DwarfZealot]

Thanks Chaos, I am proud of him.

Alright if there is going to be progress on the level i am making i need someone to come up with two techtrees, A Dwarven one and a Goblin one, complete with units, heros, abilities, upgrades, Please post ideas here

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

Techtree? Will this be melee? How are you able to build inside an airship?

 

[DwarfZealot]

they're is story-based levels that are on the ground and they need bases, its not going to start with a sky level, that willl come after

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

Okay cool!

So, what are you/we actually going to name the campaign? It needs something cool and flashy.

 

[DwarfZealot]

yah, something better than the placeholder name which is GRED'S ADVENTURE lol

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

Yeah okay, very bad name

And I can't really think of anything myself at the moment, it would be good if it involved something with skies or the sky or something though. Or perhaps name it after the name of the lumber company, which is also unknown so far

 

[Chaos Overlord]

yah, something better than the placeholder name which is Dwarven airship themed campaign lol

fixed it. I may try and do something with the techtrees, doubt I will get very far though.

 

[DwarfZealot]

thats what i called the thread, before i even started this

 

[Chaos Overlord]

Lol I know. You should make a new thread now that you have stuff to show off and the whole basic thing planned to an extent.

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

There are still much to plan (most of basic storyline even) and as soon as a name is picked I can easily rename the thread and first post could get updated.

 

[DwarfZealot]

Ragingspeedhorn could you write a level design for the first and second levels? you know the plot.

sorry for the delays I am getting bogged down because i need a bit more help, and also i need goblin and dwarf models.

 

[Chaos Overlord]

I will wait for this. Take all the time you want. I would also model for this, but I cant model. Sucks.

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

Never too late to learn.



And Dwarf, I gotta admit I forgot half of the story stuff, we need to talk over MSN so I remember it

 

[Chaos Overlord]

Ok last night I did a little messing around with geosets and I made a machine gun turret, like those found in WW2. Maybe I can help you with some doodads or maybe even some units. The only problem is it doesnt show up and that its got no anims, which I will be asking for help with those things soon.

 

[Aspharatos]

well i only read the first page of the thread but i was too lazy to read the other... 4. but a good idea for terraining is to just make terrain,size EVERYTHING supersmall (Including the units if your talking about the sky map), add a bunch of some kind of white cloud that moves in one direction on its own, and make other pieces of map that are normal sized (or add zooms so the ground units look normal). Another idea: Get somone to redo the undead town hall until it looks like a dalaran castle in the sky lol.

 

[Chaos Overlord]

Dwarf you got the file now. I added some details about whats wrong with it too so check that out.

 

[DoOs_101]

Hows the sky texture going along? The idea for having a Necropolis turned into a Sky Station is really cool. We can try to incorporate that with a custom skin my friend made.

 

[DwarfZealot]

OK i really need to rezurect this thread, I need someone who is responsible and really wants to, to run the project with me, who dosent slack off and makes me work harder.

 

[HatoZILLA]

ask the moderators, they always help

 

[DwarfZealot]

alright then! I need a hardworking mod who really likes the idea of this

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

Sorry for abandoning this, but I just couldn't think of any good storyline so I sort of forgot all about the campaign. Good luck with it though.

 

[DwarfZealot]

if a story line got made would you want to help make it?

 

[DoOs_101]

Well DwarfZealot, all it takes is someone to make a bloody sky terrain to replace the ground terrain so that I can make the terrain really quick. I made my goldrush terrain in one day - it doesn't take that long to make a minigame terrain.

 

[DwarfZealot]

does anyone know how to make a skybox, because i have a cool idea if anyone knows how

 

[panther-anthro]

If you want I could easily write the lore, here's a link to some lore I've written for my own map.
