First Person Shooter

x5.gearbox · Oct 20, 2007

I am looking for an invisible unit, preferably a unit that doesnt move his or her hands what attack. Or maybe someone could make a really cool looking unit but his right hand doesn't move. It would help so much.

Why?
Simply because I am going to make a FPS and have come to the conclusion that an invisible unit with no weapons can easly have guns attached to it.

I currently have no test product to show what I am doing but I plan on making some soon

Converting the Warcraft RTS style into a First Person Shooter?

Hell, it has been done before.

x5.gearbox · Oct 20, 2007

really? darn i wanted to make something original. O well I don't think many people no about the otehr FPS.

The Last Istari · Oct 20, 2007

Yeah, few people know about it because it was a spell and not a full blown map.

So you still have hope.

x5.gearbox · Oct 20, 2007

Great, I'm thinking of making a whole project with about 20 members, but first I need to make a small test file of it to get people interested.

Could some 1 possible make me a model that has certain animations such as, Reload (some kind of gun), reload (another kind of gun), jump, pan around?

What would this spell be called?

there is a fps map out there because i have it. anyway good luck with your map

x5.gearbox · Oct 20, 2007

O i no of that but i didnt really think, that that is a FPS since its still in 3rd person view. I mean where all u have 2 c is a gun and some hands.

in alot of fps you see there hands and gun..... :slp:

ect halo

Making a FPS is near impossiable using WC3's engine if it is to be good. WC3 just is not made for FPS.

Kimbo · Oct 21, 2007

The rendering and graphics makes it too horrible for fps IMHO of sexiness.

xafem · Oct 21, 2007

I started one

I started such a map about CounterStrike,
but you are right it is very difficult. :thumbs_down:

I am not working on it anymore, because i can`t manage the Unit moving with the arrow keys. Maybe you can take this map (in the attachment) as a basic help. Would be great, because I spended already a lot of time with it :ain:

and I think it would make a lot of fun playing it in Battle.net

Modo · Oct 22, 2007

Do you have an FPS system set up? I've been trying to make one but it doesn't work very well yet.

wow man of course you see their hands and guns, periferal vision. No one shoots a pistol without being able to see it. I meant by the FPS they are taking about ur in full 3rd dimension.

No i havne't made a system for fps. I thought of something but it currently only has four camera angels. I couldn't get the camera to folo a unit so upclose because then there would be an ofset and it would just rotate from that. So i thought of making multiple cameras (so far 4 of ALOT)

So yea here is the link to my basic camera movement.

I think we should try to get a bunch of people to figure out how to make one. It would add a whole new type of playing in WC!

Modo · Oct 23, 2007

This is what I have done so far. It is by no means finished. It still needs the turn left and right triggers that will be controlled by timers and [event]Keyboard Event - Key pressed/released left/right[/event]. I will probably add an up and down view as well. Tell me what you think.

EDIT: I have implemented the left/right triggering and have attatched the new version of the map

SUCCESS! I got your system to work with the system that I am using. Now, I can do a FPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Would you like to join me I am going to start a team

Modo · Oct 24, 2007

You like it?! It is not complete. I may as well join your team, as long as you realise that my University work comes first. My future depends on it. Can we call the team "Team Modo". That is what I call every team I am part of. :grin:

Is the system complete enough? If it is, I can move on to other things otherwise I will tinker wih it until it is done.

EDIT: x5.gearbox, take the latest version of the map. It has almost all intstructions for options. If you need help configuring it, PM me. It has the left and right functions implemented and a quick turn function. If you want a "move forward by pressing up" I can do that too.

x5.gearbox · Oct 24, 2007

Modo: sure we can call it team modo it hasnt started yet.(I currently have way to many things to work on) Also, I have all the Camera movements aside from being able to move it without moving the man. Also, I need weapon attachments that can be attached to the head of a unit, (this is teh only way i have figured out that you can c only the gun...). All the weapon attachments I have are like modeled on an angel so when i attach it to the "overhead" they are still of camera...
Would, you like to see what I have so far?

Modo · Oct 25, 2007

x5, you can send me your map and a list of what you want done and I will see what I can do. I have obtained a lot of knowledge recently, and it seems like I just pulled it out of the air. I have some ideas of how to fix the problems you are having, but I would like a copy of the map first. You should send it via PM, if that is possible, so that it will be harder to steal your work.

this game looks like its going to be a first person shooter so the author would be a good person to ask about this.

x5.gearbox · Oct 25, 2007

Modo, I can't PM it to you so i will post it here. Right now I need a way to fix the camera for specific guns. Such as zoom out when you hold a rocketlauncher (or just back a bit so it doesn't get cut off)

Also, I need an ofset so the weapons arent just right in teh center of the screen.

If you play the map, put the weapon item you want to use in slot 1 then type msg "1"

Also, the triggers are very messy right now. So if you could do the camera motions that would help :thumbs_up:

I'm going to start writing a story board.

Also, I have found a few gun models but they might not be used. They came with a lying down one of it so i can make it like an item.

Modo · Oct 27, 2007

Are you doing the terrain, or can I? Do you have an idea of what you are going to do with the map? What type of gameplay are you/we after? Have you seen this shooting system http://www.wc3campaigns.net/showthread.php?t=80850?

x5.gearbox · Oct 27, 2007

Well, I am good with terrain but you can do it if you want to

Also, I haven't put much thought into the game yet. I first wanted to get the whole FPS system to work. And I'll check out that shooting system. Thanks.

PS
I have been given the right to edit the guns but I have no way of doing that. Can you do it? like make them all at an angle and off to the front and right (so it looks like a FPS) Im not sure how you would do this in Wc3 We either. Any ideas?

pss
i don't understand how that could be intergrated into our game. But i did find this http://www.hiveworkshop.com/resources_new/spells/918/

Modo · Oct 28, 2007

Truth be told, I didn't look at the shooting system, I just saw it, downloaded it and gave you a link. I looked at it today and I don't think it will be useful. I will create a system that we will use. It will basically be a summoning of the bullet model and manually moving it. I don't know how well it will work but I will get started on it soon.

I can't edit models, I just don't know how.

I have seen the pilot system a long time ago and brushed it off. I will look at it again though.

Craka_J · Oct 28, 2007

I too have been making an FPS mod. I didn't do the trigger-work, but I did the terrain.

Here is the example map attached. It needs a lot of debugging though. If anyone wants to help me finish it, that'd be great.

Rulerofiron99 did the triggering.

x5.gearbox · Oct 29, 2007

there is a halo game out for Wc3 and it's shooting system is phenominal. Here is the link
(i think this is the one) http://www.hiveworkshop.com/resources_new/maps/4662/

Craka_J · Oct 29, 2007

IMO, the shooting system was all right. Not good at all for a First Person Shooter though.
~Craka_J

x5.gearbox · Oct 29, 2007

Craka_J your fps system wouldn't work. There were some problems such as u walk near water and the camera falls in it. Also, it just seems weird as if the game were liek Gears of War but to far to the side you can't see the guy.
I think we should stick with the system we have

Craka_J · Oct 30, 2007

Yeah I know. It is a work-in-progress that no one was willing to complete for me. Needs a lot of debugging too. Well it is a good start if you ask me!
~Craka_J

Modo · Oct 30, 2007

Craka_J, send me your system. I will see what I can do with it. If it works better than mine, it is easy to switch systems.

Craka_J · Oct 30, 2007

I'll send it to you this weekend. But PM me about it on Friday that way I don't forget!
