DILAUR!

The currency has been chosen.

 

[Kaitech[SanD]]

Dilaur... That sounds kinda lame but hey, it's your choice mate!

I'm trying to download your maps now, so I can finally go play them!

Oh oh oh! Can I be in the next campaign?

 

[Preskooldude]

In a map of his campaign... thats alot asking from Pyritie, seeing as how he's already got the plot all made up. *COUGH COUGH* RIGHT Pyritie? PLANNED things?

In another campaign altogether... thats a long way off. And SC2 is coming out. So yeah.

 

[Pyritie]

Yes, it's mostly all planned. If you have a british accent, though, I might be able to use you as a voice actor...

 

[Preskooldude]

Why the british?

 

[Pyritie]

Because. I like to be consistent. Scorch has a british accent, and so does coalch, so it would make sense if the rest of the city had one too. Makes it better.

 

[HatoZILLA]

how do i pronounce dilaur? cause i got the the "saur" sound on the end

 

[Pyritie]

Dee - Lore

Or something like that.

 

[Dr Super Good]

Maybe everything has a British sound to it because Pyritie lives in the United Kingdoms and the only voice actors he could easily find are British ones?

 

[Pyritie]

No, it's just that it would sound weird if the people had a big variety of accents. I go to an american school, so the lack of other accents isn't the problem.

 

[Preskooldude]

Yeah, it would be weird if everyone spoke with a British accent, and this one random person from the same region (As far as the story is concerned) had something like Chinese. Although if, say, they went over to the other side of the world, then a different accent should be acceptable. Of course, provided that you already have the storyline all thought out, then you wouldn't want to incorporate (yet another) character.

 

[Pyritie]

Most of the storyline is quite flexible at this point except for the parts that happen in maps 1, 2, and 3. The rest is just vague ideas.

THIS PROJECT IS NOW HOSTED!

 

[Preskooldude]

*clap clap clap*
Now just to wait for the subforum to be created so that this thread will be moved.

 

[Pyritie]

It's been created, but it's not publicly viewable yet.

Would you prefer if

a) I was the main moderator and you get no powers
b) I was the main moderator and you get some powers
c) I was the main moderator and you get as much power as me

?

 

[Preskooldude]

B, but if not B, then anything.

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

Congratulations on getting your project hosted, Pyritie!

If you wish to have a front page announcement once everything is made public then please either make a thread in the sub-forum of admin contact called Announcement Forum or contact one of our administrators with a well written, informative and well setted up post about the project requesting for a front page announcement.

 

[Pyritie]

The url to the forum is http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=523. It is not public at the moment, but it should be by tomorrow (Thursday).

Leave the subforums alone at the moment; I'm going to get those changed.

 

[UchihaSasuke.gr]

Dragons rock!But...this campaign would rock if it was completed...

 

[Pyritie]

Good job stating the obvious. Now instead of just sitting back and whining about why it isn't finished, you could always try and help instead.

 

[Flame_Phoenix]

Hi, i am Flame_Phoenix a map maker. I've been seeing some THW projects and this one seems interesting. I am also a big fun of campaigns. Isn't this the "Spider's capaign" modified ??? The second part of the triology is the "return of the dragon" and it may be very similar to what you are doing.

Anyway, I have knowledge about GUI, JASS/JESP, icon making and modifying models. I also, can make loading /mini-map screens, but not as good as the devian art ones.

I've come here to offer you my aid. Please PM me if you are interested in it.
I really think i can help you as long as you give me credits.

It would be great to join your group.

I also suggest the creation of more sub-forum groups like "against the darkness" has.

 

[Pyritie]

Noes, this is completely unrelated to Darky's campaign.

And I don't really like all the tons of subforums. Then each forum only gets like 2-3 threads in it. I can always make more if necessary.

 

[Flame_Phoenix]

Lol, ok. Btw, do you know where i can get the end of Darky's camp ?? I never found the dragon's return.

 

[Pyritie]

It's in the map database...

 

[Flame_Phoenix]

LOL, i know, but i can't find the link m8.

 

[Preskooldude]

Its right here:
http://www.hiveworkshop.com/resources_new/maps/4521/

 

[Flame_Phoenix]

Thx a lot mate =).

One question, is this the END of the saga ??? Or is there another camp going on ??

 

[Pyritie]

Eh? Oh, of RotD? No, this is the last.

 

[Flame_Phoenix]

OMG you expect me to read 12 pages !? for an idea for you spells !? Isn't there a simple way !?

 

[Pyritie]

Noes. It's on like page 3 or 4 though.

 

[Flame_Phoenix]

LOL =! .... I will give a try .... to "search" for it .... I will let you know if i find something.

 

[Flame_Phoenix]

Hey, i just want to let you know, that i didn't find any spell suggestion in the 3 and 4 pages ....
Besides you are the creator, you should know what your characters need.

Also, when evaluating level 1, the "guitar" music is too much repetitive ... I suggest the use of a different music in the eating game, or in some other area.

Here i think this music may be able to help. It is from Pirates of the Caribean and i think t fits on the context.

 

[Pyritie]

Well then it must be in page 2 or 5 then. I dunno. I have it set to display 30 posts per page instead of the default.

It's banjo music. It's a loop I got from garageband (mac software at school). I think it fits the scene quite well. It's only like a minute long so it has a small file size.

I'll take a look at that song. I have a bunch of Pirates of the Caribbean music (buying the cd ftw), but I don't have that one.

 

[Flame_Phoenix]

Lol, hope you like it so =).
That music also is 1 minute long (1.14 to be exact), so i think you can use it as well.

My music is also from an old Pirates CD. =)

 

[Pyritie]

Yes we all did...

*Shifty eyes*

EDIT: Wow that music is perfect! I'll put it in right away.

 

[Flame_Phoenix]

YEeeee !
Good to know i can help =)
I am as well a great fan of Hanns Zimmer (the author of the Pirates musics lol )

If we need anything else, let me know.

 

[Pyritie]

Hans Zimmer also made the background music for the second map. It's from some movie called Spirit, which is about horses.

 

[Flame_Phoenix]

Mmm, i seems that i have to buy that CD as well.
lol.

Other great musician that we may want to listen is John Willians (from Start wars, Indiana johns and many other great success movies)

Also, Hans Zimmer also did the music for the King Arthur movie.

 

[Pyritie]

Zimmer did the music for a lot of movies.

Anyway, back on topic.

 

[Taz123456789]

just a ? do u get anything for winning in the pancake game??

 

[Mechmap]

Probably not. You just get the honor of eating more pankakes then Lirch.
But how should i know?? I have never lost.

 

[Pyritie]

Try it on hard difficulty - Lirch is almost impossible to beat.

And no, it doesn't matter if you win, lose, or tie. The story still continues. It's just a fun little game.

 

[Darcimp14]

hey when is the next beta release going to but for the public to use??? b/c I wasn't paying attion for the beta testing!

 

[Pyritie]

Not for a while. And this is in the wrong thread. But then again we don't really have a thread for general questions.

Post moved.

I've just done then first two missions for the campaign and here is my feedback. (yes it took me a long time but I was busy with schoolwork and paired mapping contest and had to download weu and winrar :/ lol)

-I found the map was really professionally done and the models and everything made it a great experiment. and I love the music .

-Mission 1 feedback: PANCAKES! lol. Nothnig bad about mission one. pretty fun overall. I found the camera could've been made better for inside the house I remember there being an intermediate camera somewhere that could've just been replaced by another one that was already there).
I wanted to pick up the lego! lol

-Mission 2 feedback: K, I found the camera was probably my biggest worry on this map. I kept getting screened by trees though I don't think theres much fix to that. I think the camera should be zoomed out a bit because you can't really see very much. I didn't get lost but its just my feed.
I liked mining and felt like breaking every rock. I didnt like how the ticket seller took just any one of my rocks. Id like it if the game let you choose which one you want to give. The ticket seller's voice also wasn't loud enough, I find.
Final feedback for mission 2, the lady dragon that you buy the food for should be able to recognise wetehr you have more food than she asks for (ie, you have 3 bananas for example). I had to cast a spell and eat the banana. And finally, I never figured out how to open my backpack so i'd like you to tell me how lol.


Well done map, and fun. Im excited to do the next 2 missions. I hope this was of use to you.

 

[Pyritie]

There already is a feedback/suggestions thread.

Post moved.

Not a bad idea, but it could be a bit of a pain to implement something like that.

I need to fix that. >.=.>

Final feedback for mission 2, the lady dragon that you buy the food for should be able to recognize whether you have more food than she asks for (ie, you have 3 bananas for example). I had to cast a spell and eat the banana.

Orly? I thought I had that part working fine. Good thing you played around with that part. Guess I need to fix it up a bit more...

And finally, I never figured out how to open my backpack so i'd like you to tell me how lol.

Not yet implemented.

No bug thread? Or is this it?

When I was playing the piano right at the start of the game, the game froze. I've never had wc3 freeze. I can't even think of a time when my computer has frozen (I think it did last summer or before). I would guess it's the game.

It happened after the lesson you get. I was just hitting the keys trying to play around.

 

[Flame_Phoenix]

Well, if you played the game with attention, then you surely read our warning.
It says that the piano keys must NOT be typed very fast, or the application will crash because it is too heavy.

Py warns people about that. But still don't worry, I think that will be fixed soon in a later version.

Did you play the latest version I released to the public yesterday?

And yeah, there is a bug thread. It's a sticky.

 

[Gilles]

I just say it... I'm an idiot.

I didn't I played the one you had in closed beta. Is there a difference?

 

[Pyritie]

Yes, the released version is fully working. I think.

The beta one I still need to replace the first map with the newer one.
