Guild Arena: BattleChasers v1.11 AI

Header11.jpg



Quotes2.gif



:fp: 25.09.2011. Yo Darkwing here, I am opening up project recruitment
for the sequel of your favorite arena map,
the new Guild Arena II: the Broken Pact.
Join our Guild Arena Team NOW!!!
Click on the image below to go to the Project Recruitment Thread.





The vast city of Utopia lies atop millennium of conflicts, congregations and betrayals, peace and wars, overladen with monuments of past carved both in stone and flesh. The Guilds within City are bound by the "game of throne" each claiming the rule over the other Guild in its own manner. Now after almost century of peace that was protected by the "Pact", the new era of struggle is slowly drawing near. Rumors circle the city from the Kaos slum-taverns, across the fire pits of Skarana, over the libraries of Zycra, through the most inner circles of Verdana glades, across deserted roads and wastes of Ahkrep up to the Aspire bell towers, that the pact is shattered. With the rivalry and tension between Guilds brewing up, slowly both Heroes of old, and young upstarts are rising up to once again chase the battles across the territories of Utopia. The only thing that remains now is that YOU chose your favorite amidst the many who have entered the battle already and ask yourself...

Which guild are you?



* The map has -ap (all pick), -ar (all random), -em (easy mode), -nd (no duel),
-na (no achievments), -3d (3d camera), -cf (Capture the Flag) modes.
* There are total of 35 Heroes/ines divided among 6 Guilds. (33 standard and 2 Fun Heroes)
* Experience new additions to the gameplay, such as animated "killing spree" text, achievments, 3D camera and much more.
* Map also contains a basic AI that I intend to improve through the gamers feedback.


I strongly recommend for all those new to the map to read the Game Info (F9) or check out the official map website www.guildarena.co.nr at for full explanation of the game, it's feats and new stuff.

Me and my testers have done the best of ourselves to remove all bugs we spotted, so if you find any bugs, syntachs errors, find explanation ability, hero etc. confusing, or if you have an idea, constructive critics, or WANT to join our team, please contact me.

:fp: Changes in version 1.1
Let's go over the major changes firstly :thumbs_up:

DESTROYABLE ENVIROMENT: The surprise additon
-Thanks to Mile Rizik who started modeling just recently, you can now utterly destroy whole enviroment in GA. He created and animated models for Archways, Pillars, Columns, Torches, Braziers, Skull Piles and Statues.
-However due the complex thing of creating such good Destroyable Enviroment system I've implemented the simpler system
-The new version will feat this more complex system for sure (I'm half way there making it)
For now the things you should know about the system:
-All of the Enviroment Destructables have set amount of hit points so that they cannot be destroyed early in game. Destruction starts approx between 10-15 min of the game when full scale asskicking between the Guilds begins
-Not all abilites can destroy the Enviroment (lol hels sure cannot)
-If your Hero has Army Crusher or Ground Breaker equipped he can destroy the enviroment near the target he is attacking
-Also if your Hero is near the Destructable when its dying your camera will shake as the Pillar, Statue, or Archway..etc. falls to the ground

New DUEL:
-Now duel ranges from 1v1 to 6v6 based on the number of players in Guilds. Also the bugs of the previous duel have been removed, this duel rocks. The skill of the ones of who achieve Immortal Fame Rank will be tested in duel of type Immortal vs Guild where you fight alone against whole enemy Guild.
-Features new bet system with old commands. Fixed the bug where you could bet more gold than you have.
-Added "-finish" command which can be typed when AI's fight duel to randomly kill one of duelers and finish the duel so you don't have to wait for them to fight.

New SCOREBOARD (Multiboard)
-Features all of the major game stuff up in the MB.
-Show scores of both Guilds in the title.
-Also shows the duel countdown if duel is on
-Show the pending time of all reviving Heroes

New ARTIFACTS:
-Added item ownership sys. Items you don't own cannot be pwned. You can still manipulate with them. This does not apply to Recipes or
Consumable artofacts such are Pots and Net.
-Added "Pick All Artifacts" ability to the Stash Box which picks all of the artifacts in your base region to your Stash Box.
-Changed the Pandora's Box into two shops "Mida, the Fame Keeper" (sells Fame Artifacts) and "Trainer" (changed Tomes into trainings of Might (Strentgh),Endurance(Agility), Knowledge (Inteligence) and Omnimind Training (level gain))

-Sacred Body is now Fame Artifact

New CTF MODE (Capture the Flag)
-Type "cf" in addition to the game mode to activate the CTF mode
-Both teams have 3 flags (one in base (5 points), one in the crossroad in front of the base (3 points), and one in exit (1 point))
-Each of the flags carries a certain number of points to your Guild when you retrieve it to your base
-The limit of the points needed to win the game can be changed with -cl ### command where ### is the number of points
-Only one flag can be carried at the time
-This is the Experimental mode so pls feedback anything you like/dislike about it

Hero/ine stucked problems
-There are now 4 Waterfalls in the Arena (two near the wells in the moats, and two in the entrances into Dragon Vault) that throw you back in the Arena when you finish up on the walls
-The "-stuck" command has been changed from the vote command into non-vote command that turns the collison of your Hero/ine for 2.5 seconds so you can leave the place where you got stucked. After that you cannot use it for 90 seconds, so that should fix the problem of "-stuck" abuse.

OK I'm glad that u like the map, just for the record I plan to keep up with the updates on the weekly and monthly basis, so be sure to check out, I think that the best way to be informed timely is to join the group on the facebook Guild Arena: the BattleChasers, also if you find any bugs be sure to send me an e-mail at [email protected].

Thanks XD <3

Great description! Ok rating map 4/5 and also, you should add atleast a screenshot with the map from above. That would give the players a view of your terrain : )

+Rep for activity!

Edit: I can give you a bb code for your sig, so when you press the picture you land at this map. What do you think?

That would be awesomly nice from you (for the code), tnx.
I'lll be sure add the screenshots tonight TNX for the help 'n' hints :D

+Rep to u2 XD

Also I'll fix the description alittle bit, cuz its too flashy like this, it looks more of a cartoon, :grin:

You:

-thus-

I vote:
162343-albums4195-picture39634.png


:thumbs_up: Thanx man u should try and play it sometimes, not cuz I created it but cuz it's cool and I'm intending to make it even cooler, with adding the storyground behind the map, I really want to make a serious project out of this, I've could been writing about the things I intend to implement into to game for days and still wouldn't catch a glimpse of it, but because of that I'm goin slowly one step at the time :wink:

Tnx for the approval vote, +rep to you :thumbs_up:

Nice map you make, but still, there is deficiency.
Things I like :
-Custom spells
-Many heroes
-Ideas
Things I don't like :
-AI is kinda stupid. I see they (AI) precede attack wards rather than attack heroes. Ex : If the enemy hero(AI) be in agony, then he/she place wards, allies' hero (AI) turn to attack wards. And, AI heroes only retreat if his/her hitpoints drops below 20%-40% (I don't know). Ex : If the max hitpoints is 800, and I have skills that deals 250-350 damage, it's easy to kill him/her. And, after successfully retreat, AI back with a half hitpoints. Then, I don't like every AI (all of it) buy the same items.
-There are many shops. Then, each recipe shops only has a few recipe items. It's makes me tired when I search recipe items that are fit with my heroes.
Others :
-Rook, the Strongholder, not balanced. His tower (Rook Tower) is like "half-god", so strong, with high damage, fast attackspeed, and no duration.
-Fatso (Pudge), his attacks. Why he deals damage with his attack after (about 0.4-0.5 sec) he slam his cleaver/swing his anchor?
Enough, this map has a lot potential, you just not yet show it.
Hope next version will be better. For now I give 3/5.

TNX man that's what I've wanted to see some constructive feedback, the dislike, HELL YEAH :thumbs_up:

:fp:First of all, I'm still balancing the Heroes, I've played it the other day in the internet caffe with my friends and we saw that the Rook is realy unbalanced with his towers, so I increased the cooldown of the ability, the ability will be more balanced in the next version, I'll set it so that he cannot erect two towers if they are in the 700 range of each other, cuz cluster of towers are really powerfull.
:fp:Second, Grozoth has that delay cuz of the model of Abomination, don't know if you've noticed but its like that and with the regular units.
:fp:About AI - yup I know it's pretty lame, but for me to creat a powerful AI, I need to discover the few playing styles with each Hero and than create AI for each of the Heroes separately (that includes and the each AI creating different items), than there are Heroes with Mechanics like Devil Hunter, Torch Bearess and Assassines (check out hers mechanic it's rather awesome), and that can be only done through the feedback of this kind.
:fp:About artifacts (items) - I want to create the possability for each player to has a wide array of artifacts for different kind of situation's, so there will be even more artifacts than the current number. Also I'm planing to implement a few new type of artifacts such is the Fame Artifacts (Warlock's Mark for now), and there will be another league of artifacts I wont reveal it know kekekeke :grin:
:fp:As for the Murky(Mur'gul Slave) I've got many complaints and many likes about why he is on the middle and constanly moving, it for the game to have like a passive forcement around the arena itself, so if you need the artifacts's from Murky you need to go into the Arena.
:fp:Oh yeah I know that the artifact creation can be bothersome cuz you need to drop the artifacts when you inventory is full, I get it that I need to create a 2 set of each artifact (one normal and powerup) and then link them through the triggers so that you can create artifacts like in DotA, that will be done also in next version's.

ALL in all I know I have so much to do, I have another 50 pending ideas for the Heroes, oh you'll se it all, I'm her to stay with the map, in the following months it will be perfected as much as I can do it.


Thanx for the feedback +rep to you!!! :thumbs_up:

hey , i couldn't find "Clepto Murloc Shop". Can u show me a screenshot of its location?

:fp:Yo man, the Clepto Murloc is a movable shop with model of Mur'gul Slave, and its wandering around the middle part of the map randomly. :thumbs_up:
Here is the screenshot of how it looks like, also check out the map official site (www.GuildArena.co.nr) there is alot of explenation there, also feel free to PM or email me :thumbs_up:

Bug

Hey, I found some bugs too. I was playing this map and I was fighting those tough creeps of yours, (I was a low level though,) and I got killed. The duel started in the arena and my Hero didn't ever get revived.

I have a attached a screenshot below that shows the multiboard open with the revive timer on a negative number and it kept going backwards. Please fix this if you can.

Other than that, it was an OK map, but the duel ends up being kind of unfair if some low level player gets thrown in the arena with a really high level player. And on top of that, you know who to place your bet on, if the betting system worked right, which it doesn't. As soon as a duel started, I typed "-bet12 900" as fast as I could. (If I wouldn't have typed as fast as I could, than I wouldn't been able to bet at all. You should do something about that.) Then it said, "Your bet (0 gold) as been placed." What's the deal with that?

I have found a bug !!!!! .When I starting playing I have choose a mode then I type -fl 100 and flag limit max are 10 , when I type -fl 340 the flag limit max are 34. Can you fix that ??

:fp: o_O I think I know what's the thingie, I'll check that out and fix it shouldn't be a problem.
Tnx for the feedback man +Rep :thumbs_up:

:fp: Yup I know for the revival bug it occured like 2 times in 250 games, did you by any chance played Nara, Dark Huntress as Hero when killed?? It only happens to me with her, I'll check out what's the prob and fix it.
:fp: Yup also, dunno why, the timer once continued to run into negative value but I got my Hero revived, but I checked that many times and couldn't figure out what's wrong :eekani:, maybe I'll add a vote command for when your Hero is not revived so you can force th revival or somthing like that (maybe a vote command, how about that?).
:fp: Oh yeah I know its a little confusing for the bet, you dont type the players number, the numbers are '1' and '2', '1' is for the duelist player on the left side of the screen (duel grounds), and '2' is for the second duelist on the right.

:fp: Also you've attached a wrong screenshot it's not my mpa :S??


Really tnx for this feedback, I know for most of these bugs and I'm working on their fix, +REP to you. :thumbs_up:

Also to both Marcin13 and Slayer 14, and all others, sry for replying so late, you know it wuz New Year and I was awesome drunk during the first two days, now I'm in the aftershock mode, I'll be getting on the work on the next version with the fixes and new adds after the January the 5th, I've got some commitments.

:goblin_good_job: Happy NEW YEAR, and thanx for playing my map, be on the standby mode for the new version of the map, and also don't forget :thumbs_up:

Oops, sorry about the wrong screenshot, I have a messy screenshots folder with like 30 screenshots in it. I wish the game would give the screenshots better names. I'll fix that.

Anyway, I was actually playing Oxy 'm' Oron, the Alchemist when this happened.

Thanks for telling me about the betting system, I thought the first number was for the players.

Cool map, keep workin'! :grin:

Btw, +rep for the awsome map!

One of the best arena maps ever made , i found few bugs though -

-The Abomination's uhh..eating ability (sorry never played as him) , after you spit out someone that is currently being consumed , the person can never move until the Abomination consumes the hero back
-Sometimes Revive Doesn't work , your name gets replaced by another player in the multiboard =/
-The shadow shoes (or whatever) is kind of a cheating item , for Strongholder and Terrorist as they can set traps and towers in the duel arena =/
-The -stuck command is kind of easy as you can type -ok two times and you are set back at your team spawning point

I believe there are more bugs but the ones that i just said are the ones that i have found

Oh, oh thanks man, wasn't aware of the following bug:
:fp: that stuck command can be typed twice, I'll check that out.

I'm workin of revival bug, and I think I know what's the prob with Grozoth bug, that'll be fixed too!! :thumbs_up:

As for the one about "Shadow Slippers" and Shadow Orb also, I consider it a more as a balance thingie, will do something about that!!!:thumbs_up:

+REP to you man thanks a lot, I'm glad that you think this is the one of the best arenas ever made, it means a lot!!! :goblin_good_job:



So, I'm summed all of the bugs you guys reported, and that I or my team found, I also summed the ideas I wont in the new version and with the New Year's madness and drunkage finally fading out, starting from tomorrow I'll be working on the next version of the map, the release date will be somewhere between 15. and 25. January (I'll know exact once I start workin'). Here's the "list" of thing planing to do for and about next version:
:fp: You can except at least 3 new Heroes
:fp: New modes and game commands
:fp: More balance fixes
:fp: New artifacts
:fp: New artwork
:fp: I'll finish the repping of those whose resources I used in my map
:fp: I'll have the special thingie for those of you who helped and about the feedback for the new version
:fp: Also I'll post the thread in the map development section for those who want to join my team and help me improve the map.
:fp: Will also post the resources request for what I need in my map.

To you my man Blood Bath and to all other, yes I'm running late with the update of the map (technically I dont cuz I stated that it will be somewhere between 15.-25. January :grin:), I sincerely apologize to everyone anticipating the new version, I'm working my best, since there are major fixes in the map and code, and lots of improvement and balance. All submitted bugs have been repaired, and I'll make up for running late with 4 New Heroes.

Also due to my work and training's I have a limited amount of time during the day when I can work, so I'm really trying hard, also there will be major updates around the official website GuildArena: the BattleChasers and some new stuff that I'm sure you are going to like!!! :thumbs_up: :goblin_good_job:
Also the bad news is that I'll maybe prolong the release date to 30. January :goblin_wtf: :ogre_rage:

There is no amount of reputation that can replace the stated anticipation of a player of a map you made, so no need to rep twice HAHAHAHAHAH, im just glad that you like the map..

:thumbs_up: Once again I apologize in my name and name GA Team, we'll be seeing soon!!! :thumbs_up:

and dont forget!!!
