Goblin Exploration 3.56

[BlargHonk]

I am really considering keeping production going, simply because I fell in love with the map.

I moved onto Minecraft, as it is a superior implementation of the base concepts behind GES

 

[Midnighters]

Bleh Minecraft.

 

[Jinkotsou]

Alright just felt like i should let you guys know about those really up to u wether u fix them or not. I don't really play anymore since there seems to be a lack of patient people on battle net. Making one for starcraft sounds promising and i'll look forward to seeing it, should you decided to, now all i have to do is buy starcraft..... and yes i hate minecraft as well. Why you people play that game and fear the exploding green goats i'll never understand.

 

[Midnighters]

I have began work on the next version of GES =] So I would like to keep you around for testing purposes if you don't mind.

 

[Hero_Lief]

Once I get my new computer I'llwork on developing some sort of map. Not sure what. Maybe an isometric...

 

[Midnighters]

Hero, ap0c changed the ownership of the thread.

 

[MR.Tricky]

Oh God i love this map... thank heaven and hell as well

 

[Midnighters]

Haha, well, I am going to continue work on it =]

 

[Midnighters]

Small update:
I am currently working on optimizing a lot of the already created systems. Once this is done, I will begin on some terrain updates, and then the systems to go along with them/

 

[Midnighters]

Current Status Update:
I have finished the optimization of the major systems. I am starting work on the terrain, I will give you a little hint as to what will be changed. The desert will be removed, and replaced with another island, and some special areas =]

 

[DevBoyz]

You should fix the following things:
-------------------------------------------------
1) sometimes, the "Pick up Corpse" is not working, i stand beside a corpse and keep spam on it it just keeps on saying "there is no corpse"
2) some of the hero's attack can't target units, or you just made it that way?

 

[Midnighters]

Some units are meant to not be able to fight. Also, that bug, I am looking into.

 

[Jinkotsou]

i'm back after my cat borke my router last week. not really sure if that testing comment was directed at me but i'm up for it just leave me a post when your ready and i'll try to keep checking. On a side note i almost started playing minecraft... but the dl was a different file type not supported by microsoft, so i figured it was to much work for a bad game

 

[Hero_Lief]

Midnighters, be sure to NOT TOUCH THE -DROP COMMAND AT ALL. I know it seems like it can be optimized, but it really can't. Any attempt to make it more efficient WILL cause the selection bug.

 

[Midnighters]

It can be optimized, but I won't mess with it

 

[Green]

left up end point going or view fatal error i... three times error!! mother fucker! and tinker tank is not making! are you crasy? recipi delete !

 

[Hero_Lief]

Perhaps if you'd speak proper English, I'd be able to understand what you're saying.

 

[Green]

I think it will increase the vitality of non-combat classes.
And please, please add the robot.
The decor is tinker tank? Recipe've had a presence.
I thought it was part not implemented yet?
Please delete the repair robot to feature an attack.
Repair rate is too slow.
tinker too takes a long time.
To creating a cumbersome electric claw.
Also, after creating a battle I'll console myself with lightning effects.
Why tinker than factory robot-making easier?

 

[Green]

tinker's ability to strengthen the ability to create robots.
However, silver bar .. why? I'm level-ups and (mk1 robots) made​​.
tinker's level was 12, I made ​​a pounding heart.
HP 800 Attack 100??
I grew up 12level for HP 300? (And at 20)
In addition, the factory produced more difficult.
I thought I'd come out more powerful robot.
tinker's level 12's very very difficult task that has grown up.
What the hell ...

 

[Green]

and giant wolf, stronger than boss... critical damage.. north island wolves is terrible..
The robots are destroyed for 5 seconds. Mad weak, difficult to produce.

 

[Green]

Useful bugs found.
Health manual is to make a secret recipe?
was making a robot to tinker, and suddenly appeared Health Scout manuals and Mecca.
Took screenshots.
Probably something that conflicted with the building seems an error occurred.
I try to upload a screenshot to confirm simply submit those elements were not taken.
Ghost are you doing?
Was very good for the other screenshots.
Anyway. Not talking about spinning.
Despite the weak tinker was lv30.
The robot is much more strong.
Why not upgrade claws?
5 steps to the flamethrower, and why?
In addition, using the flamethrower guy so powerful, why did you do?
There's too much favoritism.

 

[Hero_Lief]

It's not favoritism, it's imbalance that's the main focus of fixation in 3.6.

 

[Green]

health manual is not bugs? i made two times ..

 

[Midnighters]

You know, a few things, Green. One: DO NOT TRIPLE POST! Two: Learn to speak English a bit better please, because I got a headache trying to understand what you were saying. Three: I am balancing everything, if you would learn to read, I posted it.

 

[Jinkotsou]

it sounds like you're majking a lot of progress on the next version. So far i'm pretty excited to try it out and explore the new island. It's nice to finally have something new happen to this map after so long. And does anyone really understand what green is saying? He just made me really confused, except for the part about the pyromaniac.

 

[Midnighters]

I understood a large percentage of it, yes. And about the map production, it's back on hold for the time being. My grandfather is dying of cancer, and I am going to spend as much time as possible with him.

 

[Jinkotsou]

Well i hope u get lots of well spent time with your grandfather, and i'll check up on this every week or so since i don't see you putting to much work into it any time soon. Honestly i don't know how you understood green.....
Summary- Minecraft sucks, GES is on hold, midnighters is bonding with relatives. - and HeroLeif still hates me i think.

 

[Midnighters]

GES is being worked on slowly, but not as much as it had been before my grandfather came home.

 

[kouryu]

construct building system should be improved, maybe you get item that can spawn building rather than building spawned when the skill used, its very difficult to know where the building will spawn

 

[Midnighters]

the building is centered where you have the center of the ability, typically anyways.

 

[orcwar2]

can't wait for next version and sorry about your grandfather i hope he doesnt die and insstead his cancer miraculously goes away.

 

[Jinkotsou]

Well i'm still awaiting the next GES... but it's beginning to feel like it's time to move along . I guess i'll still check this out every few weeks to see if u do put that updated version out. I really want to explore the new area, but i understand you're busy with your marine training. I think you should try and create a GES for wc4 when it finally comes out of something like it for starcraft II.

BTW to anyone that visits this page. Apparently Midnighters is leaving hive, so um ya guess we'll never get to try that newer version he put all that work into....

 

[BlargHonk]

Apparently Midnighters is leaving hive, so um ya guess we'll never get to try that newer version he put all that work into....

This is the 5th time he's said this, and the 3rd was when he said "I'm serious this time"

Regardless, PEOPLE WHO LIKE GES, play Minecraft or Dwarf Fortress, you'll probably like either of them. And do not fear DF for it's ASCII graphics, just get a damn texturepack.

 

[Midnighters]

Blarg, I am leaving slowly, I am coming around here less and less, but regardless, I get bored of Minecraft sometimes and revert to Warcraft 3 Modding. So you may see the new version before I get shipped out for the Marine Corps.

 

[OMGOMGOMG]

This is a awesome map, but, is 4.1 part of GES?

 

[Midnighters]

No, 4.1 is not part of GES, we haven't even gotten that far yet. If there is a version by that name, it is a stolen version. Also, you can find the link in my signature to the newest map I am working on,

 

[rulerofiron99]

Hey guys (and sorry for necro post)

After a long break in mapping, I've finally started up a few new projects, the second of which ("Gears of Greed" I'd consider the spiritual successor to GES.

It'll feature new systems such as vehicles and weapons.

Presently it's still in very early alpha, but I'd really like the guys that took over the map after me (and the players!) to be at the forefront of testing and production of this map.

Please PM me if you'd like to take part.

 

[Hero_Lief]

As a sidenote, it would appear that I, rulerofiron99, Alpha_12, and Midnighters are all teaming up for this new game. Look forward to it!

 

[Midnighters]

That we have.... Even thought I had to read like 500 messages that I didn't see on skype to learn this xD

 

[Dr Super Good]

As part of a test I disassembled the terrain node data of this map into images and this is what came out.

From left to right...
Ground Height Map
Water Height Map
Flag Map
Ground Texture Map
Ground Texture Detail Map
Cliff Type Map
Cliff Height Map

 

[The Noobest]

This map is off the hook, can I get the link or the creator of the model file that you use?

 

[Midnighters]

What Model File?

 

[Assassine]

is there a victory condition to this map?

 

[Midnighters]

At the current momeny, no. I am planning on completely redoing the game modes.

 

[Dakadoon]

Since we haven't really seen much in years, are you still working on this? And what about the new map? This map was very good and I would enjoy playing another one like it.

 

[Midnighters]

I'm slowly working on it. As I said, going to redo game modes, add more well made dungeons, more enemy creeps, and may add a new hero or two =]

 

[Burnic]

Can't load saved game, is there a trick to it or just still not fixed?(i love this game but all my efforts going to waste after closing Wc3 it's just to sad )

 

[Midnighters]

Uhm, Idk the issue, I will look into it sometime, not been mapping much.

 

[Dakadoon]

The saving/loading issue was brought up before. It cannot be loaded because the file size is too big, there is no fix.

 

[Green]

I like this map but ..

3.56 is last version..
