Harry Potter and the Philosophers's Stone RPG

[chilla_killa]

Hello Hive Workshop,

Let me present my current project:

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone RPG

Introduction:

It will be based on the book, but (because it's a RPG) I will add many Quests and adventures, that are totally new. The map size will be epic (256*256)

My major work shall be placed on the terrain by using many imported models, maybe tiles of the UTM.

Event places:

1. (not sure yet if I should add it) House of the Dursleys

2. Diagon Alley

Including: Gringotts Bank (with dungeon), Ollivanders Wand Shop,

3. King's Cross railway station (Platform 9¾, Hogwarts Express)

4. Hogwarts (main point)

Including: many floors (untill now 6 planned), big outdoor area (campus), Gryffindor's Room, many classrooms, the Great Hall, Entrance hall, Hagrid's house, Forbidden Forest, Lake

5. Dungeon to the Philosopher's Stone

6. maybe more later

Quests:

I won't tell you.
Let you surprising.

Sytems:

+ (maybe) Special Fight System (still in planning)
+ many Charms
+ Potion brewing
+ Wizard Card System
+ more to come later

Items:

+ Wizard Cards
+ Bertie Botts Beans
+ Chocolate Frogs
+ Potions
+ Challenge Shields (remember the video game)

Team:

chilla_killa (Terrainer, Triggerer, Modeller; Ideas)
Slaydon (Trigger Assistance)

!! I need a good texturer for making textures of the main characters! !!

Screenshots:

All is WIP:

Entrance Hall and Great Hall

Gringrotts Bank

Progress:

Terrain: 15%
Triggers: 0%
Textures: 5%

I still need some ideas for quests!
Please tell me what you think, and remember: I need a good texturer!!

 

[FreakyShirley]

I would just say, Good Luck for your project.

 

[chilla_killa]

Thank you very much, but I don't need luck, but skills.
It won't be that difficult, my only problem is the Harry Potter texture.
Anyone has an idea on which unit I should base the skin? Not the villager, he is to muscular and fat. At the moment I try the HumanMage, but he doesn't fit good enough.

 

[L2love]

lol id love 2 play this and ya putting a texture for something related 2 harry potter seems difficult o and quest are eazy you can have harry run jobs for weazly's at the alley or do potion classes and if need some terrain i could try or ideas im good with ideas =]

 

[chilla_killa]

WIP Screenshots added, remember in the dungeon of Gringrotts, I will add fog and creeps.

 

[Slaydon]

no pics are workin for me

 

[chilla_killa]

lol, I realise that, too, will be fixed in a few minutes

 

[Slaydon]

do you need some triggering assistance?

 

[chilla_killa]

Yes, I guess that would be a help for me because it's more then I espected, but first I make the terrain, then I collect ideas and then I will come to triggers and ask you to help me.

BTW: Screenshots fixed

 

[Slaydon]

sure thing

 

[busterkomo]

The floating rocks at Gringotts look awful. Were rocks even mentioned to be there?

 

[chilla_killa]

Okay, maybe I will remove them.
Well, it's under the earth in a kinda cave and I hate the natural blizzard cliffs.
So I thought, I make my own by using rocks, but if it sucks, I remove them.

 

[Jaijaibinx]

liking the idea, but not so sure about the tiles, perhaps using dalron ruins would be better or maybe a modified version of then minus the cracks. this terrain is just too light.

 

[Dr. House]

the dungeon looks terrible siriously you only spammed rocks on blizzard cliff :S change it plz it looks terrible and a the room with the tables where the 4 classes are needs flags on the walls and foods on the table and flooting candles maybe

 

[chilla_killa]

Dungeon has been changed, food etc will come in cinematic (Dumbledore spawns it), I will add flying candles.

 

[Dr. House]

you should have used the high res doodads for this rpg but ok

 

[chilla_killa]

Well, where can I get them?
Are they in the UTM?

Edit: After 30 sec of searching I found them at WC3Campaigns. I'll take a look at them and maybe add some into my map.

 

[Dr. House]

i got harry potter 6 the game and i checked out the castle a bit and the high ress doodad pack should really do the job i think

 

[Gilles]

Years ago I worked on a Harry Potter map. Yours is much better though, I must say.

 

[Silverfish423]

ok chilla_killa, 3 main things i wanna tell ya:

1) I am quite excited that you are starting this. I would love to play it and possibly (after i finish my current project) help you on it
2) It better be close to the book, because the harry potter book lore is very precise and one difference could change the whole series
3) The map better look epic. Make it look magical, with floating candles and talking statues and all that good stuff.

I will keep an eye on this one.

 

[L2love]

lol some of the precies things seem a bit hard and some vary eazy this kinda makes me want 2 make a harry potter rpg for some reazon but im 2 lazy and yes making it more magical would be good / hard like floating candles eazy but talking / moving paintings hard so somethings you may need 2 request but still looks vary epic so far.

 

[chilla_killa]

Thank you very much for the many friendly comments, I try my best to make this map as good as possible, but the main problem will be to find a texture or a model for harry potter but I maybe I will make a model on my own.
rep for all of you!
My latest idea:
Door System: If you come in range of a door, you will get the ability "Open Door" if you go away from the door it will close automatically

 

[Dr. House]

makes no sence you can better do region trigger anyway like the other guy sayed dont use the movies but the books to make the game. im only wondering how you gona make som stuff like The quidditch field and hagrids home.

 

[chilla_killa]

Yes I do it with regions.
Hagrids Home can made with the [log] kit of the UTM.
I already made a model of a quidditch player.

 

[Dr. House]

ok thats nice

 

[L2love]

sorry lol i couldnt find it on the desctription but is this 1 player? if so then this will be much eazyer and y just the the 1st shall there be other?

 

[theHunt_errr]

Map looks great! Can't wait until this map comes out. I can make spells for you also(if you want me 2 PM me)

 

[Slaydon]

sorry lol i couldnt find it on the desctription but is this 1 player? if so then this will be much eazyer and y just the the 1st shall there be other?

Its called RPG, also a campaign so i think so.

 

[Reaper2008]

Maybe I could help too, with JASS stuff.

(ps @slaydon: Sorry for leaving you there, lost my comp, writing from my laptop now. Saw the news about oblivion. Maybe I'll finish it anyway.)

 

[Silverfish423]

If you need help with stuff pertaining to the story of harry potter (like if you dont have the books or dont want to reread em) you can ask me. I love HP and i kno a lot about it. once again, good luck dude

 

[L2love]

lol i have all the book well i dont but my sister dose i hope som1 makes custom models for this thought like for the people just 2 see some harry potter in wc3 seems fun 2 me is all.

PS im vary bad at terraining but i can try 2 help you if you would like?

 

[Silverfish423]

i got all the books and have red each prolly 2-3 times, haha. i love HP. I know, the idea of HP being in warcraft does seem really cool. I would love to help out in any way I could also, as stated before, haha

 

[chilla_killa]

Thx again for all the positive comments and help you offered rep for all
I'm still working on the terrain, but when it's finished, maybe I will come back to
this, but now I don't need help. But thx.

 

[Silverfish423]

oh, chilla killa, i was thinking about the models and no one will really work for the wizards such as dumbledore, harry potter, etc because they all have staffs and wizards in HP have wands. maybe you could get someone to create some models for ya. if i was a modeler i would but i do not kno how to model :/ or if you are a modeler you should do that. it will feel more like HP if they have wands, not staffs.

finally, i was thinking about the combat system, and all of their damage should come from spells, not from basic normal attack. that way it will feel more magical. ya know what i mean?

 

[L2love]

lol you can just ask som1 2 remove the staffs and then you can add wands its not hard at all thought having custom models would be cooler it proably wont happen sadly =[

 

[Dr. House]

ye exactly somone can remove the staffs and replace them with wands (im learning how to model ) if i knew how to make dombledore and all i would do it but unfortionatly im just a beginner

 

[chilla_killa]

Well, I'm a modeller and I know how to remove the weapons from them.
But I maybe will make custom models for Harry Potter.
There's also a wand model by Thrikodius that I will maybe use.
TheHunter, can you make me a spell?
It's the "Wengardium Leviosa" Spell".
The target unit of ability being cast shall fly up, stay there in the air for some seconds, and then fall down and get damage. (I also want a special effect of the war stomp then) it shall only be possible to cast on light units, but I will trigger it via a condition, you don't have to do that.
Would be great if you could do that.
Of course anybody who wants to make it for me can do it, not only the Hunter.
I will give you 5 rep and great credit, if you make a tutorial, how you made it step by step because I want to learn spell-making, too.
Greets chilla_killa

Current Work: Diagon Alley

 

[Vosty]

^^^^
Just give the unit "Medivh Crow Form" ability via trigger, set the units flying height, set him back on the ground, and remove the abilty.
THis is if you know GUI.

 

[chilla_killa]

That sounds stupid.

 

[Silverfish423]

So, I was thinking about the Great Hall (i read that scene in the HP book last night) and maybe you should have a lil cinematic where the camera points up and you just see a starry night sky. Also, the tables in the Great Hall are described as being in 4 rows next to eachother, not 2 rows with 2 houses in each row. so it would be like this:
_____
_____
_____
_____

Not like this:

_____ _____
_____ _____

ya know what i mean?

 

[L2love]

lol i know da perfect model for the tables good thing theres also candle models and food models now the great hall is good.

 

[Vosty]

That sounds stupid.

But it is easy....

 

[Reaper2008]

Buggy too...

Best use a parabola, maybe I'll cook smth up for you.

 

[Vosty]

Of course, describing triggers over the web, on a computer that does not have ANY kind of trigger editor, is just plain difficult.
Best o luck, and is this Mulit-player? It would be cool to have a hogwarts map, where you and your friends can go to class and explore and stuff. It would be like LOAP but NEW map. Not same old shabby map, with new stuff every time.
Single player is good too, but it it a campaign then?
