Famous Halo

[FamousPker49]

No I can't. I believe it's HT's model, but I am not sure because I got it from UTM.

 

[FamousPker49]

This isn't dead yet! I am working on a new selection system and one more class. Possibly another arena.

 

[Kwah]

I'm still waiting for the demo. NOAW.

 

[Ghost765]

ooo, i wanna participate in the public test :O

 

[FamousPker49]

Well basically... I hope to finish the new selection system tonite. Then... maybe I will release it. But I might want to do some polishes first, so it might be tommorow. But there should be quite a bit of progress on this map this week.

EDIT:
Well, I encountered a few problems along the way, so I doubt it'll be ready before I leave for school, but I hope to finish after I get back.

 

[Eagle1_Division]

Holy Crap, the FPS system is awsome. I wonder what could be done with it... CoD 4... Mabye Desert Storm? Have a little RPS system, Tanks, AA tanks, Helos... Makes me think of the BF1942/BF2 DC mod...

The system and the game are nothing short of a HOLY CRAP!

 

[Sabertooth]

It's not really an FPS system, more of a 3PS.
Good to hear you're fixing up the selection systems, Famous, sorry I havn't been in contact much.

 

[FamousPker49]

Alright ladies, gents, and Hawkwing.
Here it is. There are bugs, I do not know what they are, but rest assured I am sure you people will find bugs. It's not protected because I am just that awesome.
Enjoy and report your bug finds/possible fixes back here to me.

EDIT: Found/hopefully fixed sum bugs.

EDIT MOAR: Silly me, uploading another bugged version. This one should be better.

 

[Ghost765]

heres just a few list of bugs:
Your hero often deselects, which can get real annoying
The Text's Assault and such disappear after awhile. They also appear while in the map while u're actually playng
You can shoot through the outer walls of the bunkers in blood gulch
For some reason, when i ordered my guy to throw a grenade into the bunker from a distance away, he just dropped a grenade right next to me

Suggestions:
Medpacks
-Passive Items that enhance your overall performance
-Fix up the cave interior's exits, all they are atm are black squares.
-Different types of Grenades, like Spike Grenades, Flame Grenades, Frags, and Plasmas.
-Maybe change the bunkers so you're actually on top of the bunker, (if you've seen Blood Gulch screenshots) instead of sort of in a pit.
-Fix up the icon's little teal lines...it looks like its a scribble.
-A switch teams option. To balance things out if people leave.
-If at all possible, a Scope on the sniper rifle.
-Scoreboard?

Just my few bugs ive found/suggestions.

 

[FamousPker49]

Well, some more imrpovements, like the addition of... 2 EXTRA PLAYER SLOTS. Which brings the total number of players to 8. Also removed some leaks and added some more little niceties. Please come back with comments/bugs. It's helpful. Lool.

 

[Ghost765]

u should like, make a different secret gun. instead of that damn rick roller.

 

[FamousPker49]

Alrighty! Eliminated 48 triggers and all sorts of useless crap. I also made it possible for a -balanc feature but haven't added it yet. Tell me if you experience any problems.

And if I made a secret weapon, why would I tell people about it?

 

[Hawkwing]

I have a few suggestions.

• After you've chosen a mode or place or something of the sort, put the game in cinematic mode so the camera cannot be moved and the viewer's attention is more focused on the information.
• Work on the terrain: Fix the trees in front of the cave entrance, add in the rocky area like in Halo (as I explained awhile back), add more areas, make "The Arena" run more smoothly with the system, work on the cave, and make the class selection area nicer looking.
• Add class selection information. When you switch the unit you're viewing new information should pop up.

 

[Ghost765]

eh... if -balance is made possible, why havent u added it?
i havent tested it yet, but here are some suggestions just from reading it
make the balance option available only after X amount of players have left on the enemy team.
You should also place a Commands quest if u havent done so already
Just curious, does the 'nade launcher have splash?

 

[Hawkwing]

And what exactly would -balance do?

 

[Ghost765]

switch teams if people leave on the other team.

 

[Gikon]

might of been suggested or asked before...but
Key or WASD movement?

 

[Pyritie]

might of been suggested or asked before...but
Key or WASD movement?

WC3 doesn't support it.

 

[Kwah]

Py, that was a fail answer. Of course it supports it. It just sucks, due to the way it interacts with the lag (even using WASD). Anyway, I found that rocket launcher was many times better than the other weapons.

 

[FamousPker49]

I've found that too, when I have more time, I will think of a better balance for it. Either way, new version. Basically just more optimizations, nothing that will directly affect player. Except I added colorful display messages when selecting a hero, and an auto balance. Idk if anyone playing the full eight players had noticed... But Player 7 + 8 had no multiboard spot. Lol. Map size is slowly decreasing with these optimizations! Enjoy!

 

[Kwah]

Also, use coloured player names for the kill messages, and perhaps with there "spree" amount besides the name.

 

[Hawkwing]

I don't know if you've done this yet or not, but make everyone in Team 1 Red, and everyone in Team 2 Blue. It's hard to keep track of who is on which team; I find I'm always killing my allies.

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

-respawn didn't work for me. At all. It only killed my character.

 

[FamousPker49]

Well sorry guys my comp crashed and its being reformatted so itll be a little before i can work on this.

WILL can u tell me a little more? Like what player u were?

Hawkwing its been done for awhile now lol.
hawk I was planning on sprees n coloured msgs but idk How to colour them. So any help is appreciated.

Gikon key movement in multiplayer fails. Always. Plus idk if uve noticed but ppl seem to be having a fine time playing.

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

I was player Red. Didn't matter which weapon I had either.

And work on your spelling in your posts, PK, you're becoming like one of those Youtube commenters. ''U'' is not a word.

 

[FamousPker49]

Alright ill check it out as soon as I can.

About the spelling... I am currently browsing from my PSP and the text entry is very similar to my cell phone so I am more succeptable to bad spelling. I apologize for the inconvenience to everyones eyes.

 

[Kwah]

Yea it does, and no it does not lag. Though it can lag if done wrong...
Without it...it would be hard to play this...

Just to verify again, it does. You *could* use WASD, but just with the way it interacts (As in you have to take it off lagtime seconds before stopping, and so on . . . ) It would suck.

I found the grenade launcher almost impossible to aim.

 

[FamousPker49]

Yes I tried a different tactic with the grenade launcher but it doesnt seemed to work splendidly. So ill try to work on that too. It was on my to do list along with fixing the normal grenades.

Anything that you guys particularly like or want to see as far as game modes, areas, heroes or anything else?

 

[Kwah]

A forest area

A Jump and Run skill.

Shotgun.

 

[FamousPker49]

Alrighty. I was going to make shotgun next anyhow. Ill have to see if I can get the forest area from my older maps. Secondary skills were coming up too. One question though... What exactly would jump do?

Also anyone know how to get a players team colour in a message?

 

[Kwah]

Let you Jump off cliffs.

Use Ammoroth's GetPlayerColoured() (Wc3C). Or a udg_String array.

 

[FamousPker49]

Ok. Thatll prolly cause some issues that I may have to work out.

And cool Ill have to check that out.

 

[Kwah]

Run should be easy -- Berzerk.

 

[FamousPker49]

Yes but jump might cause bugs where you jump where you arent supposed to.

 

[Kwah]

Then make it so that you are supposed to be everywhere? .

With a limited range, it shouldn't really happen.

 

[Ghost765]

just make it so u cant use jump in a certain regions. i think u can do that
and em, i just noticed this. you can select your rockets. i dont think uve given them locust.
And is it just me, or do the bullets kinda go in an arc?
more bugs:
1. player 4 on the red team's camera is fucked up
2. alot of players cant be certain classes, or are limited to certain classes.

 

[FamousPker49]

Here, there should be colored death messages along with a few bug fixes.

 

[Deleted member 139377]

Beautiful, but I suggest adding a movement system based on the w,a,s,d movement set, because clicking to move and shoot would get troublesome.

 

[Hawkwing]

Yes, I suggested that too, but Famous said that the system he's using doesn't work the same.

 

[Kwah]

doesn't work the same.

Hrm?

---

I've found that any keystroke oriented movement, doesn't interact with the multiplayer delay in warcraft.

 

[Hawkwing]

I don't know what he meant, but that's what he told me.

 

[Kwah]

Ah.

ohshi-

Step One: De-crypt pker's writing.
Step Two: ?
Step Three: Profit.

Moving, what would the system be like if it existed?

 

[arphax214]

it be more exciting if you put choosable terrains/weather...

 

[Ghost765]

but its annoying... i actually kinda like this Third person view.
although i think it would be real cool if you could add a zoom option, like on the sniper rifle.

 

[FamousPker49]

WASD would most likely have a delay and thus making it crap. But ill see what I can do with the scope idea.

 

[Kwah]

WASD will have as much delay as moving with the mouse. Give it a try anyway.

 

[FamousPker49]

NOU. Make it for me Mr. Smarty Pants. I can't do any work right now.

 

[Kwah]

How do you want it? Forward, back and turn.

Or For, back, strafe?

 

[FamousPker49]

I think I remember someone sayin strafe would be cool but how would you turn? Id say strafe either way.

 

[Kwah]

So . . . how would you turn?
