Final Fantasy VII Template v0.02b

[TheHunterKiller]

Awesome map, keep working!

 

[Latecat]

I included him as a playable character in this map because the excellent model exists and I am sure a lot of people will enjoy the opertunity to play as him, but if I was making a full fledged map he would most likely be removed as a playable character and instead used as a boss.

guess that makes sense, even tho if he would be playable for all the time, he would pretty much kill everyone in sight just like that.

Normally, if you import if you've had the map folder open in warcraft, the list wont refresh

You probably just need to restart warcraft III

TheHunterKiller: Awesome map, keep working!

Thanks very much So glad you like it!

mare: guess that makes sense, even tho if he would be playable for all the time, he would pretty much kill everyone in sight just like that.

Haha, I had another guy say the same thing so I made a video response on youtube showing just that:

Thanks for helping out CloudWolf, I can also add that you should make sure you didn't re-name the file to more than 28 characters in length.
Hope this all helped. Let us know if you still have problems.

 

[Latecat]

Now that you mentioned the 28 characters limit, i had that problem (but i knew the problem).

One thing about the map: does it have Haste or anything to speed up the action bar? because it goes sooo slooooow D:
Nevertheless, its kickass! Oh and one more thing - why doesnt the music change from battle music to end of battle music when you beat the foes? Its kinda annoying :| (imo)

 

[FFVII_Valentine]

mare: One thing about the map: does it have Haste or anything to speed up the action bar? because it goes sooo slooooow D:

If you equip the Magic Materia: 'Time'; the first spell that is unlocked is: 'Haste'.
Another note: Did you know in 1-player mode that you can use 3 characters? You are given full share control of player 2 and 3's wisps; allowing you to select 2 additional characters. When you are using 3 characters at once the time bar doesn't seem as slow because you have more to do.
Your speed stat also increases when you level up and you can also equip the Independent Materia: 'Speed Plus'.

mare: Nevertheless, its kickass! Oh and one more thing - why doesnt the music change from battle music to end of battle music when you beat the foes? Its kinda annoying :| (imo)

So good to hear that you got to play it and like it.
The only reason is to keep the file size down. There is a lot more music that I would love to include.
I would also like a nice map image; I think it would help to attract Final Fantasy VII fans to the map when they see a picture of the FF banner or the characters etc.

 

[Latecat]

Well, to keep filesize down - i highly recommend NOT to add One Winged Angel to it.

 

[FFVII_Valentine]

Well, to keep filesize down - i highly recommend NOT to add One Winged Angel to it.

Haha Yeah there are some long tracks.
Even the Victory Fanfare that you want me to include is 53 seconds because it also includes the music that plays when you see what items, gil, experience you recieved.
It would also be nice to include the Prelude (2min 50sec) music whilst the map is loading.
The Opening Theme~ Bombing Mission (3min 57sec) would be awsome to get the story going in the beginning, maybe part of an opening cinematic or something

 

[Tau Empire]

Lol the one winged angel metal version would be cool, but 6 minutes long and the size is about 5.5 MB big so compressing helps a lot lol.

I never did try your recent demo Vincent I'll give it a whirl and critic you after. (Game Critic remember that so I'm pointing the negatives cause it's simply fun to do.)

I feel sorry for you to live in Australia with the gouvernement and there limits on games allowed in Australia and the high price games+ Activision's dick move to boost up the price of COD MF2 (probably 90$ for the game alone now).


CRITIC TIME: Ok first of all let's talk about map protection, you decided to create a template map to help others, but yet you protected it, so there is a issue with that, unless they have to private message you the unprotected version of it.

During the game now, controlling other party members are fun but I would of used the numpad like the PC version to choose instead of W A S D F R, to get used to it. If you never played the PC version of it, it goes like this 2 goes down 8 goes up 4 goes left and 6 goes right. Enter is to well enter and 0 is the cancel button (or return page)

During combat, ATB is slow, maybe to slow... Sephiroth has no Limit Break which makes a sad face, cause seeing Super Nova would of been fun.

I haven't been far in to the demo only when passed the forest after killing the bandit lord that was it.

Materia, this is the part on how I describe the magic, summons and other materias. Right now I've tested 5 materias 1 of each type, cure, Hades, HP +, Steal, and forgot the last one I think it was counter attack anywho they work just fine.

Now for the music... I don't need to say a word about it cause it stick with the orginal soundtrack of the game (excluding most of the good ones, like Aerith's theme, Junon aka Hitler's theme, one winged angel but that could be skipped, Shinra Corporation, and others) But I can accept the excuse of this being 8 MB limit only for multiplayer and each MIDI file cost about 100 KB.

 

[FFVII_Valentine]

Tau Empire: Game Critic remember that so I'm pointing the negatives cause it's simply fun to do.

All feed back is welcome; including negative, though I prefer advice, ideas and solutions to accompany the negatives. So that the feedback is more constructive (which you have done below, thankyou!).

Tau Empire:I feel sorry for you to live in Australia with the gouvernement and there limits on games allowed in Australia and the high price games+ Activision's dick move to boost up the price of COD MF2 (probably 90$ for the game alone now).

Yeah, with region locking we get the games later and are forced to pay a higher price. Games like Call Of Duty can sell for more than $120 brand new on XBox 360. Having said this, are piracy laws are much more fair; modchipping is legal here etc.

Tau Empire: Ok first of all let's talk about map protection, you decided to create a template map to help others, but yet you protected it, so there is a issue with that, unless they have to private message you the unprotected version of it.

I have never protected any map. I have never even downloaded a map protection program. I just checked; the map requires JassNewGen editor to open it because I am using a function from it 'IssueImmediateOrderBJ'. Thanks for alerting me to this (I had no idea); I understand a lot of people are just using the basic editor so I will try to make the map openable in the basic editor once again.

Edit: Changed all GUI 'IssueImmediateOrderBJ' references to custom text so now the map opens in the Basic Editor.

Tau Empire: During the game now, controlling other party members are fun but I would of used the numpad like the PC version to choose instead of W A S D F R, to get used to it. If you never played the PC version of it, it goes like this 2 goes down 8 goes up 4 goes left and 6 goes right. Enter is to well enter and 0 is the cancel button (or return page)

Thanks for letting me know the PC controls (no I haven't played the PC version). By default in WC3 some of the numkeys are used as hotkeys for items in a hero's inventory. To use items as direction hotkeys would obviously limit the number of items a hero can carry to 2. This is an interesting idea anyway, which I also have been considering.

Tau Empire: During combat, ATB is slow, maybe to slow...

I agree, after you get used to the game it feels slow. The reason for the slow down is that I think most people only play this map once and there is a steep learning curve; so slowing down the Active Time Bar helps beginners keep up. I just have to change 1 line of code to speed it up again, what do you think is a good starting amount, at the moment it's 20 seconds?

Also I had a simular question about this earlier; here is how I responded:

If you equip the Magic Materia: 'Time'; the first spell that is unlocked is: 'Haste'.
Another note: Did you know in 1-player mode that you can use 3 characters? You are given full share control of player 2 and 3's wisps; allowing you to select 2 additional characters. When you are using 3 characters at once the time bar doesn't seem as slow because you have more to do.
Your speed stat also increases when you level up and you can also equip the Independent Materia: 'Speed Plus'.​

Tau Empire: Sephiroth has no Limit Break which makes a sad face, cause seeing Super Nova would of been fun.

Sorry, no limit breaks have been made yet. I am not experienced at creating impressive abilities; I would need the help of someone else. The systems are all in place though, the abilities just need to be made.

Tau Empire: Materia, this is the part on how I describe the magic, summons and other materias. Right now I've tested 5 materias 1 of each type, cure, Hades, HP +, Steal, and forgot the last one I think it was counter attack anywho they work just fine.

Good to hear they worked, Summons like Hades can actually look quite cool, because if the initial damage doesn't kill the enemy he actually casts all the different statuses on the enemies as well.

Tau Empire: But I can accept the excuse of this being 8 MB limit only for multiplayer and each MIDI file cost about 100 KB.

Unfortunately WC3 is not compatible with MIDI sound files which are much smaller thank MP3 and WAV files that WC3 is compatible with otherwise I would include a lot more music. There is a workaround however where each person playing the map would have to download the MIDI files seperately as well and keep them in the same folder, but this is a lot of work.

 

[Tau Empire]

Actually there is a tool that converts MIDI to MP3 I did it with Aerith's Theme and don't ask why the file size after conversion is 2.5 MB without compression.

Hi Valentine
Its me Nikslg from WC3U i ask you again
You will add Genesis and Zack to pickable characters?
Genesis here - http://wc3g.freeforums.org/genesis-rhapsodos-t338.html
Models for others characters or Summons here http://wc3g.freeforums.org/final-fantasy-kingdom-hearts-f59.html
P.S. Zack model not animated but it here http://wc3g.freeforums.org/zack-fair-t254.html

 

[FFVII_Valentine]

I am uploading a new playthrough video onto youtube as I write this post.

Nikslg:Hi Valentine

Once again thankyou for helping me by linking me to high quality models.
The map is not protected, you can add any characters you like.
If you don't know how to get them working in-game please import them into the map for me and put them into the character selection area then send me a copy and I'll set it up so they are selectable characters for you.

 

[slade2000xx]

Wow dude you commented on my map the FF7 demo thing i fixed alot of stuff and all and i had realized a long time ago i downloaded a map from epic war or somethin and got my icons from that and it looks alot like your map only not as finished i tried to play but never got arround to it

 

[FFVII_Valentine]

It was most probly an older version of my map or Final Fantasy VII V1.5(P) by Blood_Wraith. I uploaded a couple of versions on epic war last year.
Credits for the icons go to Lukas if they are from my map.

Good to hear you have played my newer version and you have allready updated your map since last upload has playing my map helped you in anyway at all?

All the best for your map, need any sort of help let me know.
A lot of people are excited about ff7 maps for wacraft 3 so theres a lot of support out there!

If you want i can send to you genesis skill pack
P.S. ZACK COMPLETED http://hiveworkshop.com/viewtopic.php?t=7830&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0
P.S.S. This model cool for Cloud Advent Children model (because zack with this model at end of movie)

 

[LexX]

Your link to the Zack model doesn't work unfortunately (it may have been automatically redirected if it's not on the hive), I will include Zack in the next major release if the model is good and not too large a file size.
The cactuar model is also very cool and low in size, I will try to include that too.

Awsome to hear you like the map and the video!
The videos are worth my time
Thanks for your encouragement, means a lot!

 

[Nikslg]

You already found them on warcraft unlimited

Can i got special thanks credits in your map?
P.S. if yes add Nikslg "Aka" HeKutoC (i playing as HeKuToC on Battle net)
P.S.S. What about Genesis?

 

[LexX]

Well, here is some feedback:
-You should do DISBTN icons for hero icons,because without them them become green when you pause the game(
-Have an ability effect for lightning (though didn't check if there was effect or not,checked on fire) (A pity don't remember whose model lightning is)
-Attached better icons for "Left" and "Right"
-Found a bug fighting spiders: one of them ran in a form of circle and didn't stop=)

Nikslg: Can i got special thanks credits in your map?

Thanks for your help, I'll see what I can do

LexX: -You should do DISBTN icons for hero icons,because without them them become green when you pause the game

I didn't know that was what they were for. Thanks for the tip.

LexX:-Have an ability effect for lightning (though didn't check if there was effect or not,checked on fire) (A pity don't remember whose model lightning is)

Thanks for the lightning model. I am using basic blizzard abilities effects at the moment, but they often don't work the first time you cast the ability purhaps because the ability needs to be loaded first.
I just realised I need to re-add a unit with all the abilities available so that the abilities can be loaded at the start of the map.

LexX:-Attached better icons for "Left" and "Right"

Thankyou so much. I haven't been able to find arrow icons.
A complete set of Up, Down, Left and Right would also be awsome, but this is just fine for now!

LexX:-Found a bug fighting spiders: one of them ran in a form of circle and didn't stop=)

I am not sure how to fix this without removing all the unit's ability to move at all during battle.
It could be a limitation of the WC3 editor (I have found many) or purhaps it is to do with AI guard positions (though I have triggered AI guard positions to be ignoored at the start of the game).
Each unit should have it's ability to attack removed after attacking so I don't see why its trying to go back and attack.
When a unit is told to attack they are given an orb ability that enables the unit's secondary attack that can target enemy units (because the first attack cannot). After they attack this orb ability is removed.
It could be an error of mine I just haven't found yet.

Well,glad to be helpful
I just made arrow icons in a minute or so=)
Spiders were not going to attack, they were just going in a circle...Ah,you mean they got orders to attack and return every X seconds?
And maybe you should do like this(Addition to your system):
When they return(I took moving unit as triggering,and point name where it should return as X, just change it to what you need):

• Wait until ((Distance between (Position of (Triggering Unit)) and (X) Less than or equal to (<=) 25.00{can make it more than 25.00, but not less}), checking every 0.50 seconds
• Unit - Set (Triggering unit) movement speed to 0.00

And when it is going to move:

• Unit - Set (Triggering unit) movement speed to (Default movement speed of (Triggering unit))

May be this will fix the problem,but don't know exactly...

...but it didn't work, but I will try again.

I think I have tried this:

...but it didn't work, but I will try again.

No...I meant just to add something like this as wait function for returning"Wait until Distance between position of forest unit and position where this unit should return becomes <= 30.00 checking every 0.50 sec." and then make it's MS to 0
This "wait" will check until you forest unit reaches the point you need with 30 radius,I made smth. like this in my revival system=)
You can find it in "Real Conditions" as "Distance between points".

Off-topic:
Use "Trigger" tag instead of "Code"=)

Don't worry I understood from the start.
I know that checking if a unit is with-in a region is different.
I will try your distance to point method and see if I get more favourable results.

Chears for the tip, I will use the trigger tag in future, but I guess it was useful the way I did it in that I could put the relevent code in blue.

I think that this would be very good for the Vincint. It is an awsome model. I got it from Warcraft 3 Unlimited. I think that it would be a very good model for him
BTW: I love this map. I gave it 5/5
Paths are in the Read-Me

That is a model that me and Orochi edited from a Black_Stan's HeroMagoichiSaiga model.

Refer to http://wc3r.forumcircle.com/viewtopic.php?t=3148

Use it freely thou. But remember to give me and orochi the credits..

Thanks for giving the map 5/5; greatly appreciated. I am also glad you enjoyed the map!
I have been using that model for a while now, but just incase the files you provided are a newer version I replaced all the files in my map with the ones you posted.

So,did my advice fix the problem abouut "circle running"?

 

[FFVII_Valentine]

So,did my advice fix the problem abouut "circle running"?

I tried. Even if I order a spider to move somewhere manually on the world map (not in battle) they sometimes move in a circle motion.
The next release will have the characters fixed, they will no longer move to attack. It's faster and quite stable.

And what will they do instead of moving???

 

[pkw]

They jump to their enemy and attack XD

 

[LexX]

Oh....Is your move system a periodical event???
If yes,then problem is in it

 

[FFVII_Valentine]

LexX: And what will they do instead of moving??

Currently in the un-released version I am working on the characters whilst in battle have 0 movement speed for the duration of the battle. All the units have ranged attack, but melee attack units don't have projectiles. As usual a character will only attack if you select attack on the menu when it is your turn.

pkw: They jump to their enemy and attack XD

Retro FF style hehe. Characters advance slightly when performing actions. Currently not using such a system. Trying to keep it simple at the moment.

LexX: Oh....Is your move system a periodical event???
If yes,then problem is in it

I posted the trigger that is used in the currently released version on the previous page. You can view it there.
I have used a timer before (with the same circle movement issue), but a time or 'periodical event' is not used in the currently released version.

A pity they won't move...

Lol, it would look like the gameplay of FF1 - FF4...Well..it might be nice =)

 

[T4COBELL]

Wow bro this is looking great. Love the new multiboard. This is be a wonderful map. All you need are the victory animations. =)

 

[LexX]

Why the project is stopped???

 

[FFVII_Valentine]

New version is not polished enough for a Hive Workshop release.
I have replicated the original games world map and am working on some arrow controlled battle menus.
I have lots of ideas running through my head.

If anyone want's to see what I am working on, just Private Message me or Post here and I will give you a copy.

Why is chocobos chickes ?

 

[FFVII_Valentine]

Why is chocobos chickes ?

I don't have a chocobo model so I have used the chicken model instead. I have looked for a chocobo model, but haven't found one. I think the chickens look kind of cute in the differen't colours and the way they run in the chocobo race.

This is that hawkstrider thing. It looks Like a chocobo knight unit. In the W3 veiwer, the chocobo is meshes 1-7 & 10. So if someone could remove the other meshes for you...Me personally, I'll just erase the .blp using gimp for what I need invisible and remove the team color on the invisible parts.

That is a really good suggestion. The bird looks similar to the more modern Final Fantasy chocobos and it would be nice to have a jockey for the races. The weapon would have to be removed and also the rider when the chocobos are not in races. I have no modeling skills so can not alter the model by myself. Currently the chicken model allows me to easily change the model colour for Common, Green, Blue, Black and Gold chocobos and am not sure if this model will allow the same freedom.

 

[Mugami]

Just use Gimp. It takes almost zero skill to erase the lance and make better colored chocobos. Actually...let me get a look at the .blp and I will most likely do this all myself and post it on this site for you (giving credit to the creator, of course) by the end of the weekend, if not the day.

Edit: Yeah. Just looked at it. I'll have a clean texture finished in a few hours. I need sleep first.
A few things:
1. What colors do you want? Just the yellow, blue, green, black, & gold? I ask because in Tactics was Purple chocobos, and in Gold Saucer races were a pink and a white as well.
2. Do you want them naked or with the armor, or both?
3. Not a bad job for a demo, by the way. I would suggest that after you're done playing around with the beta; you seperate and expand the map by taking advantage of the ability to make custom campaigns. By spacing via campaigning you can have more of everything and don't have to "force an elephant in a volvo", so to speak. Like the 10x10 section of woods could be made into an entire map just for monster encounters like a world map section. And if you made that map, as a world map, you could shrink the trees and houses down to 35% so it looks like VII/VIII's and make the monster encounters activated using an invisible wisp model set to Min. Move 100 and Wander (it's used by the birds in game to make them fly around) an have these invisible units autotrigger your little "Challenge Made" arena teleport trick. Just have them die when they autotrigger it and have a random rock or something autorespawn a new one on a 3-5 min training time so they don't clump together.
4. I wasn't gonna do the jockey thing since they would all look alike unless I gussied them up too..but whatever. I'll do it too, but slower output from me due to it. (because I'll be doing each color three or six times.

 

[Mugami]

Okay, a rougher chocobo skin is finished for the hawkstrider model. I posted it already.

http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/skins-552/chocobo-yellow-elf-blp-198140/#post1946125

Now, I'll be making all the other colors by hand, but you can just do the color shift in game the same way. And I gave them the yellow ones blue eyes. XD

if you can find the texture used for the chickens; I can make chibibos. I had trouble finding it. what is listed as the texture I can't find through WC3 Viewer.

NWN and Fable were so much easier to edit...
