Grettings Hive Users =)
I am as you can see quite new here.
A little about myself :
My name is well not interesting, i have been playing warcraft 3 since 2002
So why haven't i signed up for the hive earlier ? Well i haven't really contributing to warcraft so far, therefore never really had the need.
If thats the case why sign up now ?
Well over these years i have had a bunch of great ideas for maps but never really felt like i had the energy to make a map, until now.
But even though im interested in fullfilling my ideas i lack the knowledge required sadly, but i figured that i could read up on tutorials and also ask you guys.
At the time being i have 3 projects in mind, and im very commited to making them come true.
I have out of these 3 come up with wich one will be the easiest wich i will start with. Altough these ideas i have still ain't what i would call easy for someone who have no idea where to start, i know its best to start out with something simple but if i am to be pleased with my projects simple aint just it.
So what i would like some help with is :
- What should i start with ?
- Models
- Terrain
- Triggers
- Etc
- Got any great tutorials you could recommend ?
I would like to to most things myself, for the experience
but it wouldnt hurt if there is someone who would like to support me with questions i might have with MSN possibly.
So the project im going to start with is going to be a survival map,
and its going to take place within a mine.
Wich also means the players will have the opportunity to shape theyre base the way the want it.
Its gonna need somekind of level system for skills. For example "Sentry Gun" or whatever i choice to call the basic turret is not gonna be leveled by the characters level, no i want it to level up according to kills and experience.
Example of what i mean :
When a sentry gun gets a kill it would reward 1 experience
and when a sentry gun is constructed it will reward 10 experience
something like that. (What levels up is not that single individual sentry gun but the spell of the character).
Its also going to need a decent AI i guess.
For now i would like to call this project, My First Project.
Since i have decided that when im about 70% done with the map
il look over what i learned and how much i enjoyed working with this map.
Depending on what my conclusion is il decide wether it will be a franchise with a deep storyline or just a entertaining survival. I alredy have some ideas for a title, for example if i decide it to be a franchise i might name it
The Forgotten Ones - The Miners Story/Point of view
followed by a sequel The Forgotten Ones - Daylight, something like that.
And if just a single fun survival it would be something like Deep Underground.
As you can see i have tons of ideas but nothing to work with, Please help me i would appreciate it a lot!
