Galactic Massacre (Working name)

[Rainbow Evil]

Galactic Tournament

Galactic Tournament

After trying Starcraft II , I just had to do something like this.

WTF is this?

Galactic Tournament is a dynamic Hero Arena with it's "story" in the future. (no real story only killing)

It will feature few modes, curently only Cup Mode and goal is to have most kills. It can be played either FFA or in teams.

There will be probably 4 arenas (I hope more ) and each will feature:

- best possible terrain our terrainer could make
- varius random events
- ways of using terrain to your advantage

Map will also feature:

- nice camera
- each Hero will have nice and apropriate skillz
- dynamic combat using hooks, knock backs ,maybe even filters
- dynamic combat using varius power ups like Health Orbs,Energy Orbs and Combo Orbs
- number of items to customize your Hero's stats
- maybe more, depends on feedback

Anyway, who do I need?

Triggerer - preferable JASS, but skilled GUI is also welcome
Testers - they will test map (suprise,suprise), report bugs and provide feedback
Terrainer - must be able to make nice futuristic terrain

If you think you cant do anything above but you still want to join, just post it here.

Newest versoin : beta 0.c

Please report bugs

 

[Tutnitweh]

i would like to test map^^

 

[Rainbow Evil]

Very nice. At the moment, I have to finish item respawn system and some arena stuff and Beta is rdy to go!

EDIT: Im working on fifth Hero at the moment. There will be about 10 Heros in beta.

 

[konjured1103]

PM me at [email protected] whenever you want me to be ur tester.

Im a well-known war3 bugshit

Thanks.

 

[Rainbow Evil]

Right, more testers = better map!


EDIT

K, thing left before beta:

- 4 more Heros
- some minor polishing
- Combo powerup system ( it's not as cool as it sounds
- about ~15 more items
- Atribut system

EDIT 2

Beta will probably get delayed cause my school is starting. It might go out tommorow or maybe until end of the week.


After that is done, I will do next things for version bta.01 :

- third arena
- armor and attack type system
- more items
- atleast 5 more Heros
- maybe improve some items or Heros

Beta can be expected in 2 days, but it might take more time.

 

[grygon]

Hey, Id like to help too. Im not the most advanced triggerer, but im Ok, and i'd like to test if you dont need a triggerer

 

[Rainbow Evil]

Can you make leaksless cool spells?

Like damage absorbing shield?

 

[Calciumcarbonat]

Sounds interesting
I have nothing special to do in the moment so I would like to get in the team
I could be a tester and a brainstormer...
(and im not bad in GUI too)

 

[grygon]

Probably, never done it before though. But ive done something like it. Ill try it out.

 

[Rainbow Evil]

Anyway, you guys are in as testers until we find better role (if you want better one ofc)

About ideas, everyone can contribute.

Also, it's important to know that progress goes slowly during working days, cause Im busy.

Welcome to the crew!

 

[Calciumcarbonat]

Ahh good I have many ideas and Im good im importing and modifiying GUI spells. But at first we should see that we get some screenshots to make the project looking more interesting.
For screenshots we you need a terrain do you have one?

And here a hero Idea:
Cyber Blades

(Using this skin)
Has many charge-abilitys like this
I think a ultimate should be VERY spectacular I think of somthing like many Illusions which charge over the battlefield.

 

[Rainbow Evil]

I have some awesome multi functional keyboard, but Print Screen isn't working. I can upload the map, but terrain is quite lame right now.

And for the Heros design generally, everything is happening in Warcraft Universe, so Azeroth exists as a planet as well most of species from Warcraft. Magic still exists but is very rare and usually used by species that live in harmony with nature ( like some Ogre tribes ), but Humans,Gnomes,Dwarfs,Goblins and so other technologicly advanced races possess almost no magic power at all. This is just a tip to make creating Heros easier.

 

[grygon]

Ok, I can test, but id still like to help a bit with mapmaking, either triggering or terraining.

 

[Rainbow Evil]

Attention! Attention! Beta is out! At the moment there are 10 Heros, probably inbalanced. Features 2 arenas so far and combo system isn't working yet, but will be fixed next time. ANY bug or glitch sould be reported. At the moment there is just few items but in 0.b version there will be atleast 3 full shops ( I promise ).

This is open resource and you can use it for anything

 

[Calciumcarbonat]

Well I think you should use a nother camera system following cam is ok but the turning nervs like hell, it makes the battles uncomfortable and confusing. But it seems to be already a good map

Ahh and some ideas:
The digging ability should deal damage and should stun enemys arround the caster when the he unburrows. some special effects would be nice.

And a event idea:
Bombardment: Some space ship attack the arena from orbit. Bombs will explode at some random points in the arena.

 

[Rainbow Evil]

Thank you very much! I was also thinking about removing the camera.

About Digging, it was ment to be like Stealth ability, used to move and avoid combat, but I could add stun I guess.

About bombing idea, I wanted to have orbital strikes in the third arena, which is being worked on at the moment.

 

[Rainbow Evil]

Hotfix version ( beta o.b )

- I said there are 10 heros but I forgot to add one
- Combo system working
- fixed major item bug
- added few more items
- improved terrain slightly

I wonder how come testers didn't notice anything about items since it was MAJOR bug?

EDIT

What do you guys think about naming the map Galactic Tournament?
Galactic Massacre sound bit too aggressive if you ask me.

 

[grygon]

Like the name change, can you also post version on the desc, I couldnt figure out which version was the newest. Also, I got a loading error while loading on mac.

 

[Calciumcarbonat]

Galactic Tournament sounds good

 

[Rainbow Evil]

Galactic tournament it is then!

I dont know how to fix it for Macs, I ll check it out somewhere. About versions, newest one is beta 0.b. I will post the newest version bellow the download link to make it easier. Thank you

 

[Calciumcarbonat]

Ahh could you add start gold and some opponents (Like Creeps) to test the abilitys maybe with a test- mode? And start gold for items would be good.

Another idea for an event:
-Zerg Invasion: A swarm of hungry zerglings enters the arena. They are very weak but they are very many so people have to stop fighing each other and have to save their asses! This could give players chances to outwit enemys. An example: A player with hp live hunts a player with low hp, hes so fixed on his oponent that he dont care about that the swarm comes nearer. Suddenly the hunted player blinks away and the hunter is surronded of zergs

And maybe you could use one of this tiles:
-1.
-2.
-3.

And my last point: please change the names (ingame) with each beta otherwise you can't keep the versions apart.

 

[Rainbow Evil]

I though name is changed?
I could put some gold, just say how much is enought? Around 750 maybe?

Zerg invasion sounds fine. I was thinking that one arena could be a battlefield, and occassionaly Terran, Protoss or Zerg units will come and fight ( just idea ). We could use Zerg invasion there.

First link is tiles, so I ll use them but second and third ones are cliffs, right? Then we have to replace present one. Which one to use?

 

[Rainbow Evil]

New version came: beta o.c

-minor terrain change
-dummys bug fixed
-added knockback resistance which is increased by Strength
-made better camera ( I think so )
-some other minor things

If any flying doodads still there, they will be fixed soon.

 

[grygon]

Name still isnt fixed, What we ment was in the map selection in WC3 we would like to be able to see the difference between maps.

 

[Rainbow Evil]

Ohh, now I know what u ment. Sry, forgot to change it. Will be done in next version, but I probably won't release it within next 2-3 days so I can add more content and to make it easier for you guys since we had like 3 versions in 2-3 days :/

 

[Rainbow Evil]

One more skill to be done and 11th Hero is finished. Then comes one more Hero, some minor polish and some items and version 0.d is finished.

 

[Rainbow Evil]

K, guys, we need item ideas. Items must not be overpowered, they dont need alot of futuristic ( can be an axe ex ).

More ideas we get faster will the shops be finished.

And if your iteems isusing custom icon post the link.

 

[Rainbow Evil]

Okey, I have some sad news. Because of my stupidity map got it's lvl info deleted and cannot be opened. I added ALOT of new stuff in this new version, and I just can't do it all over again. Project Failed.

Im sry, this thead and project are now DEAD.

RBE

 

[grygon]

Shoot, it looked good. Are you sure that nothing is salvagable? Nothing saved?

 

[Rainbow Evil]

Nope. I read that if you delete lvl info or something, map gets protected. And I shut down power supply while editing the map and info got deleted. And this project was supose to be successful. Well, I might continue it in SC2...
