[Arena] Invoker Wars

Almia · May 16, 2016

I am a bit bored in this vacation, so I decided to create a mini-game. (Was previously named Arsenal Magus)

[TD]

Invoker Wars

Game Mechanics

General

Here are the things you need to know about the map:

Whenever the game starts, players are expected to experience a short time game freeze. This the preloading process for the Invoker's abilities. This process is made so that players won't experience preloading lag during the game.
Invokers start at level 1(to be decided), but your Orbs are at max level.
Hotkeys for the orbs and Invoke are still QWER, but Invoked Spells have the hotkeys D and F(not the global keys)
All Invoked Spells can be upgraded by aghanims(details to be released soon)
Game currency is medal, not gold. You earn one medal for every kill + a bonus medal for every multikill.
Items are not recipe-based. If you want to buy Aghanim's just click it, unless you have the required medals.

Modes

Invoker Type	NM (Normal Mode) - you will be playing the classic Invoker. (default mode) AM (Arsenal Mode) - this is the challenge : you are going to play the god-like Invoker, the Invoker wih 27 spells most of which are ultimates of other heroes from other games. Take note that this isn't the 6.10 Invoker.
Team Sizes	T6 - Players are divided to 6 teams. T4 - Players are divided to 4 teams. T3 - Players are divided to 3 teams. T2 - Players are divided to 2 teams. T1 - Player vs Player will be the mode. (default mode)
Points	TD - [Team Deathmatch] If this game mode is picked, the host will be then prompt to input the number of rounds. The task is to annihilate the other teams every round. The team who remains the only surviving team wins the round, and the teams with the most rounds won wins the game. Items for the heroes will be maintained every round. DM - [Deathmatch]Players are tasked to have the most kills in the game. A team where the player with most kills belong, wins.

Screenies

The map design was more focused on juking, hiding and also for warding spots. (Excuse me for using JNGP 1.5e ;_

Testing the invoke system

My invoke system uses Bitwise AND to easily get the spells.
The messages you see, btw, prints out which spells are on which slots.

Two abilities occupying the slots

The decimals you see are just tests for the Cold Snap ability.

More soon

Thread to be improved

Aether · May 16, 2016

Woah! I really like it. The mechanics of this map, attracts me so much. Looking forward to it.

Disintegrate

What's that? I never heard about it.

Subscribing.

Almia · May 16, 2016

Some spells here came from other games, Disintegrate came from the Diablo 3 Wizard(First saw it on HotS trailer of Li-Ming). Check the spell here:
https://youtu.be/6SqmKqFUwnM?t=111

Meanwhile, Power Overwhelming came from S2 Games' HoN hero Ravenor. It converts your physical atttacks' damages to pure damage.

Thanks for subscribing

maybe you'll find something useful there

Almia · May 16, 2016

Thanks

Tho I don't seen anything useful there to be implemented in this map :/

No problem.

Wasabee · May 16, 2016

Interesting

Would like to see more.

Rheiko · May 16, 2016

Arsenal Magus actually sounds cooler, IMO.
I'm sure this is gonna be fun to play.

Good luck for the project. ~

Almia · May 16, 2016

Thanks everyone

I'm still currently searching as to where the icon for the Sun Strike came from :/

xxdingo93xx · May 16, 2016

Wow that looks interesting. I have never seen a map with heroes having that many spells, but I LOVE IT.
+rep

Almia · May 16, 2016

Thanks

The Arsenal version actually was inspired from the 6.10 Invoker, which also had 27 spells. The hero was reworked by DotA because it was hard to balance

Almia · May 17, 2016

Deafening Blast finished

Currently searching for a blue shockwave model to replace the current model

[edit]
Updated thread : added screenies for Cold Snap, Ghost Walk and Deafening Blast

DracoL1ch · May 17, 2016

hope u used a single timer per every forced movement there

Almia · May 17, 2016

I wrote my own Projectile library which was used for knockbacks and missiles.

I don't create timers per unit :V I only use one timer per system

JesusHipster · May 17, 2016

You should definitely use several different bloodelf herobloodelf models and skins for invokers. There is a bunch of them out there that use needed animations

1, 2, 3 to name a few.

As for a blue shockwave - there is one in the resource section.

Almia · May 17, 2016

Ah thanks

I was planning to do a skin selection for the players using the custom blood mage models.

About the blue shockwave, I am searching for something that resembles the Far Seer missile's glow (the white to blue glow)

Rheiko · May 17, 2016

Would be awesome if you could use this one, though - link.
Unfortunately, it's a rip and the size is 2 MB.
Anyhow, using custom model for the invoker is a nice idea. using a skin selection for that is probably even a better idea.

Almia · May 17, 2016

I have used that before, tho Map Rules doesn't allow us to use ripped resources(unless it is Blizzard-made)

Skin selection is a hassle, so I think giving players a random look would be nice

Flux · May 21, 2016

Yes you can use ripped resources (from Valve). I do that all the time. Anyways, looks promising, are the invoked abilities always using D and F hotkeys? If not, I would suggest doing that, therefore you'll end up having a duplicate for each invoked ability (duplicate for the other hotkey).

They are using keys D and F. Newest invoked spell has a hotkey of F while the previous has a D key.

Now, I will write a custom cooldown for both the spell and it's duplicate

And because of that, I think I might add the Arcane Rune and Octarina Core

Almia · May 22, 2016

Added Items you will be expecting to see in the game

The description will be added soon.

Take note that there will be no Attack Modifiers in the game, for example Eye of Skadi can now stack with Desolator.

plazma019 · Jun 4, 2016

You are certified LOL player

I think You are NOT a
DOTO player

Almia · Jun 4, 2016

I played Dota for 9 years starting from 6.20.

Wasabee · Jun 4, 2016

This is not the right place to ask that stuff.
Give some respect to him.

plazma019 · Jun 4, 2016
