Introducing Darkwind RPG

[Thyrael]

You realy want create about 1k textures, Becose you only armor can create 1year!

The project is planned to be done over 5 years to fill my freetime while I compelte my studies^^. And again, the only difficult part is to create the very first texture. All additional are very simple copy&paste to create the combinations. That takes 30 seconds per texture. And as long as it works perfect and the player doesnt notice HOW it works but THAT it works, it's ok for me. + It will be the only map with this feature out there.

Edit: Möp, first 100 posts in this thread, muha! Keep it going folks.

I think this gonna be great... An epic RPG , you dont find to easy a good RPG in this times. I hope yours will be an exception. And I have a question or two . The principal actors will be the gods avatar ? Or simple humans ? And you say you need a terrainer ?

 

[Hiude]

done over 5 years

Well, we do have all eternity to wait.

Well, we do have all eternity to wait.

I promise you won't have to wait all that time. I'll release a demo soon enough^^

 

[Existas]

Questions occurs!
1. How much weights 1 set?
2. This rpg will be a campaign or a simple rpg map?
3. Will it be multiplay-able?

How goodie!

 

[AKAIMAX]

But you can't rotate the camera for the action bar. How does that work?

 

[Thyrael]

But you can't rotate the camera for the action bar. How does that work?

The actionbar makes use of higher mathformula. The needed 3d vector is calculated and the position of the actionbar adjusted when the cameraangle/roll/point of view changes. You can find that system I based mine on if you search for DGUI, MATH, CAMERA made by ashujon.

 

[thedeathunterxx]

lol i keep hearin the same questions over and over again x.x

btw, thanks tyrael, i hope one day we can team up >=)

 

[AKAIMAX]

Browsing through the DGUI code, I couldn't find out, what functions does it make? Could you tell me the functions? Like how to detect when someine clicks, how to make a picture, text, and button? Sorry, I browsed throught the code and I couldn't find the functions that make IButton and IPicture and stuff.

Im not sure if you heard it, but blizzard is planning to let the max size of maps on Bnet increase to 8mb, if that would make enough space for multiplayer.

Im not sure if you heard it, but blizzard is planning to let the max size of maps on Bnet increase to 8mb, if that would make enough space for multiplayer.

If that is true, it will allow to add more models etc to the multiplayerversion. But 4mb would be enough for multiplayer. Problem ist simple: You can't use more than 99 texttags in a map at the same time. And the complete GUI for one player consumes at this point allready 63 floating texttags. I could replace them by using splats with text on them, but that would be extra work. Further would the savesystem be too complex. The code you have to enter to reload your hero would be around 375 digits if I want to save all items, and hero data. With only the equipment and all stats it would be still around 190 digits. Without weapon/armour skills still around 75 digits.

Don't take this as flame, but I don't know if you understand vJASS. Cause if not, it makes almost no sense to try to explain the code of DGUI. All needed functions for buttons and windows can be found in the DGUI code. Same for the camera in the CAMERA code and both require MATH to work correct.

 

[AKAIMAX]

I understand vJass but I can't find the functions that are used in DGUI. All i need is a function list but I can't find the functions that create a button, picture or text.

 

[AKAIMAX]

Found it. One question:

static method PICTURE takes real minx, real maxy, real W, real H, real z, boolean b, string model returns PICTURE

Real W and Real H are x and y?

 

[Thyrael]

I understand vJass but I can't find the functions that are used in DGUI. All i need is a function list but I can't find the functions that create a button, picture or text.

Buttons, Pictures and Texts objects are defined in structs. If you found that structs in the code, your find the methods to create (called new),edit and delete the objects again.

All credits go to ashujon, I just edited some things to make them fit to my needs.

I updated the post before. Please take a look.

DGUI makes my head spin. Its so complicated. Its not just create button. You have to modify the library's code to change the buttons model, then the textures and stuff. Its starts to pile up.

Don't worry, it took me about 1 hour to look through the code. Yes, you need a custom model.

Here you find a modified version of DGUI that contains all needed models and editor settings.

[AKAIMAX]

Thanks, but I already have all the needed models and skins to do this from another inventory system. Thanks anyways.

 

[AKAIMAX]

Does DGUI require all the Projection, Interface and the other codes that were used in the DGUI map?

 

[Switch33]

library DGUI requires Math, Camera

Does that one line of code ring any bells? It tells you exactly what is "required". Anyways this is like your 3rd double post in this thread. Might be a good idea to start a new thread more about just your issues with DGUI n put a link here rather than fill up Thy's whole project thread.

Although this might be more helpful to look at:
http://www.wc3c.net/showthread.php?t=103071
Scroll down to the end of the DGUI trigger and look at his Init func and a few other funcs.

Anyways, interesting project. Lots of work done already.
Only few things i'm concerned about are:
1) You'll have to rely a lot on custom models/skins since your making everything so high quality for the hero that normal wc3 stuff doesn't exactly fit theme.
(I'm sure you know about this though.)

2) DGUI creates units for the spell buttons and that will take forever for wc3 to get to work for multiplayer. Constantly moving them according to multiple players cameras as they move will probably cause tons of lag. This is probably more of a problem for multiplayer than even the text tag problem will be.(Like round when WarSoc gets completely finished + some time.)

Congrats on what's been done so far though, made me pick my idea of using a skill tree back up for my map that i've been working on/off forever.


Also to fix your maximum text limit problem you might want to consider using the multiboard. You can have multiple multiboards and they can have tons of text and even bars.

Thrael now i will talk abaut you spell bar, your spell bar looks very cool, but it's very uncomfortable becose you always need push on spell bar and player ho will play this rpg about 1h will bore.

Now abaut this inv when you come near the tree, leafs will stab inventory and to avoid this bugg you need create very much system and code.

I don't use that system for my inventory, I just took a look to get the things i need for my actionbar. My inventory doesn't even use DGUI(It'll work with DGUI, but still requires trackables to get mouseover events for the tooltips). There won't be trees or something else between player and inventory, cause it's located to a special area. The cam pans to that location while the game remains running, not paused.

Simply LOL... or I didn't get, what you trying to tell me...

The only reason to make an actionbar was to give the player the ability to be able to click the skills plugged into it... It simple sucks to be restricted to the wc3 interface or have to use spellbooks. You can freely choose the skills/talents you will grad into the AB and it accepts left and right mouseclicks. Left click will cast the skill on your spelltarget (by clicking on object left it will be stored as spelltarget, by clicking right it will be stored as attacktarget, so you cann hold up to two focus) if the target is in range and matches the skill requirements. Right click will cast on the hero itself, you don't have to reselect the hero, you can hold your focus selected.

 

[Xezko]

will you add hotkeys to the spell bar?
something like "Press 1 for cast firebolt". Do you?

 

[Thyrael]

Sadly you can't register other keyevents than arrow and escape keys. Spacebar can be detected but needs massive workarounds. The keys 1-0 are usual used for creating unitsgroups. And right now, I don't know if its possible to create those groups via trigger. IF that is possible the problem would be, that there are 12 buttons, but only 10 groupkeys^^ You see *g*

So I'm pretty sure, that I won't use actionbuttons for the bar.

 

[Xezko]

thats bad, man.
Anyway, Still working, this will be a exellent map if you can finish it.

 

[AKAIMAX]

Yes you can. Ability hotkeys. You hide the ability and you make the event a unit starts the effect of a ability and you put the code in that trigger.

 

[Thyrael]

Yes you can. Ability hotkeys. You hide the ability and you make the event a unit starts the effect of a ability and you put the code in that trigger.

To make that work, you'll have to keep a unit selected all the time. That means if you add those skills to the hero its fine. But if you select a target and keep it selected, the hotkeys won't work anymore => thats not what I want^^

I really think the actionbar is fine enough with detecting left and right mouse clicks. Cause you won't have to click a target skill and drag the targetmarker to the unit you want to cast on. You simple chose by left or right clicking a unit to store it as spelltarget(leftclick) or attacktarget(rightclick). Clicking right on an actionbarbutton will try to cast the stored spell onto your hero. You don't have to select him. In addition that means, you can fight a target in meleecombat and without having to select your spelltarget simple leftclick on the button and the spell will be casted on your spelltarget, if it is a valid one.

 

[AKAIMAX]

One thing about your action bar. Instead of detecting clicks, add the ability the action bar spells to the unit and when he clicks on the ability, order him to force the UI key of the ability. Then you can target and it will look much better.

 

[Kwaliti]

It won't work. Where's the right click then?

 

[AKAIMAX]

You only do one left click. You don't need right click. It will work just like using a normal ability.

 

[Kwaliti]

Hmm, I find the original idea better. Easier self cast.

 

[Thyrael]

And you need to have your hero selected to cast spells via hotkeys => sucks

By using my option you can simple switch your target by selecting another unit. than simple click the button and the spell will land on that target if it is valid. Imagine: You are fighting along with some npcs against mobs. One of the npcs is a tank that takes most of the damage. So you simple mark the tank as your spelltarget. While ighting the mobs using your other skills. Tanks get low on hp, simple left click healbutton => tank gets healed and your still have your last target selected.

I thought about a reduced multiplayer pvpversion. Image how awsome the teamplay wil become by using that feature.

 

[ShadowFlare]

Hey I really like that action bar. Just the bar not the ability add part.
I want to add it to my MP Morpg. Could you let me use it in it? And also can you help me implement it in if you say yes? Thanks!

I'm sorry, but I won't release any system I made to public BEFORE my project is complete. In the posts above you'll find everything you need to create that actionbar yourself. But if you don't understand vJASS its almost pointless.

 

[Slaydon]

I hate vJass, sadly =( I want to learn, but D:

 

[RolePlaynGamer]

I quickly skimmed through the thread and saw that you had a problem with texttags.
Having more than 99 texttags is possible. Since texttags are pseudo-handles you can create them with a LocalPlayer block.

Here's some interesting reading: Breaking the TextTag Limit - wc3c

 

[AKAIMAX]

Thats pretty cool.

 

[AKAIMAX]

Thyrael, I got another question. Did you use the CAMERA library to make the camera? Cause for my project, we already got a camera made that works perfectly and smoothly but we couldn't add the buttons and stuff without the buttons flying across the screen. Could you help me out here?

 

[Thyrael]

Damn, stop doubleposting, or i'll report you...

Yes, I use the CAMERA library.

 

[Xezko]

xD
Thats guy is a N00b inside himself. lol.
How its the project goin, Thyr ?

 

[Thyrael]

It's not Thyr, it's Thy

I have exams next week, so not that much progress.

 

[Xezko]

Oks, Thyr!
Good Luck on your exams! :·)
