Eine Kreuzung

[Xar]

Hi, i think iam far enough to show the map here for some sort of betatesting and improvement. Map ist edited with WEU.

Story? I don't think i need one, my map should stand in one row with "Ein Baum" and "Ein Held". Nice small maps with nothing to do but watching.

What I have

- A unique map idea "a crossroad"
- Wc3 units as traffic (11 with response to the trafic lights
- Simple traffic light system
- Working but not perfect driving system (many collisions..., units just crash in the traffic from the other side)
- A zoo (ok i must something do against the empty spots)

What I need

- Terrain, my abilities are not countable on this topic
- Someone search for leaks, or show me how to improve the triggers
- Improvement of driving system so i can insert the other 2 directions and don't get a mess of "cars"
- Disable the standard sound theme or find a better one


Pictures and Map
*edit* WEU only funktion removed

I can terrain this simple map and also provide a few custom models for you as well. The sound theme/music can also be handled by me I hope.

[Edit]:
Can't open the map: There is a problem with one of your functions I believe. Therefore I cannot help you. Sorry!

Hm, yes, i used a WEU only function, i trie to remove this one so that the map can be open with the normal WE.

 

[Xar]

Sorry for the long response time but i was totaly busy the last two days.
The map can now opened with the standard WE. (Post one updated)

 

[Craka_J]

I'll start working on it on Friday if I can.

Hi, after 2 weeks i ask you for your progress. Any news you can tell me?

 

[Craka_J]

Oh, I didn't notice that you fixed the problem that didn't let me edit it! Well I will get to work on it right now and will try to get it done as soon as I can. Most likely within three days.

[Edit]:
Well I didn't do very much. I added two new tilesets (Sidewalk and Street tile) which were created by Punisher_X, and a Traffic Light which was by both Punisher_X and Illidan(Evil)X.

I added a tiny bit of environmental decoration and tile variation to your map. Randomly placed but it'll do for now until you get a more willing terrainer. Or at least until your map is more complete, I will then possibly help you terrain your map better.

Please give credit to Punisher_X and Illidan(Evil)X if you use the stuff within this map. (Tiles and doodads)

[Edit2]:
Removed map. Xar, if you didn't get the map yet, PM me for it.

Why are these silly little German maps the ones that you watch?

 

[Craka_J]

A lot of German modders are very skilled with at least one thing. Corexx is probably the best High Resolution terrainer and he's German. XxM0rPh3uSxX is a great modeler. Especially Born²Modificate! And Dia3olus made a good, fun FPS map that doesn't require a third-party program. Germans have skills too!

[Toadcop]

And i am almost German at least in my soul xD

PipeDream is half German =) and PitzerMike is Austrian (sry if it's not correct)
etc.

Paul Van Dyk is German (2005,2006 World best Dj... but i prefer Tiesto ^^ )
a true German stuff == high quality =)

 

[Craka_J]

I am also half German.
I wouldn't be suprised if you were German, Toadcop. Your TcX map is so damn cool and impressive!

[Toadcop]

I wouldn't be suprised if you were German

no =) i am Russ/Ukrainian (in true but was born in Russia and lived some time)
but my elder brother lives in German xD (and counts as a German citizen). well the feature is what i simple have sattelite TV and i am watching only German xD (in such way i also learned it) so i know wahts going on in German but don't know whats happening in Ukr/Russ xD
and
i <3 Rammstein ^^ cause of the fucking awesome lyrics... (but well Tills vocal also pawnz such as the music self xD)

Yesterday I found time to view your changes and I'm really impressed. Even if they are only small changes, they contribute very much to the atmosphere. I took on the traffic lights, a wonderful model, and added the other two directions. As expected it ended in chaos, which I have restrained a little bit.

The only thing I need now, is a way to reset the camera.

Would I have much more spare time, maybe a collision free (respect traffic rules) version is possible, but i think that is only possible in jass.

 

[Craka_J]

To give units almost no collision, go into the Unit Editor and set their collision to 0.00. It will probably set itself to 0.01 or something like that afterwards and the traffic problem will be resolved after you set the collision of each vehicle unit this collision in the Unit Editor.

This would give also collisions cause of the oversized modell. The will move straight forward, but intersect with their model anyway.

 

[PitzerMike]

This is good to practice for your driving exam.

 

[Craka_J]

It would be really awesome if you added a multiboard which displayed:

• Mph vehicle is moving at.
• Gas left in vehicle.
• What mode it is in (Park, Drive, Reverse, etc.)

You can also make a spell for the vehicles that initiate turning signals, which can be spell effects attached in the back to appear to show which way it is going to turn. (You might need to edit the model's attachment points for this to work right)
