Lets get it started!

Norinrad · Aug 27, 2005

Ok, I got everything mearely tided up, finishing storyline and tech tree. I'll post tech tree here for comments and send storyline to all team memmbers.

What we have to do is to make about 10 maps with about 5 terrains, one unique playable race, one subrace (ice trolls), one new tileset and one great campaign.

In the next few days I'll send PM's/ICQ messages/whatever to you guys, what I want you to do.

Any questions?^^

but agian this is going to be the best campaign ever

Maping out Gnomeregan

I found a map of Gnomeregan on google. This could help alittle for the levels

I was thinking of making the levels in the mining caves and in room like The Hall of Gears etc... It would give the campaign more of the Gnomergen feeling to it ^^.

Norinrad · Aug 27, 2005

Sweeet! This map will be reaaaly handful! GJ Star!

@sorlorg: As soon as I'll ensure how to do it and make it look fairly good^^

North Star_.,-|: bred ymer mand(a danish hippie slang for cool)

Norinrad_.,-|:Thats great.If there is anything I could help you with I would be happy to.

Leopard · Aug 28, 2005

Good work North. It would become a good reference.

:idea: ......Got an idea.....if you(Norinrad) have found out how you want the maps to look like make a description(detailed if possible) and then the terrainers(me and Jetpack)will draw the map in paintshop,paint or on paper and then send it to you and then you judge if the map looks like you want it to be and then we begin making it in the editor........a bit confusing maybe...but I think its the best way...but not sure if you guys think the same

we could always just do it in the old way: By just making the map

Wouldn't it be easier to skip the first step and have them draw a picture

maybe...but we need to know what is to be included..
like if there is going to be a big blattle in the middle of the map we need to know that so we can make it look like a battlefield or whatever its sopossed to look like!!

and if we got no information about how the map is going to be or look like and what the goal of the map is we cant make it as good as it could be

its always hard to make a great map when the team arent familliar with each others mapping techniques

said I sorlorg the ruler of all that dont exists

For sorlorg:

I'll send request to all of you shortly.

We will have some gnomish doddads in the future^^.

sorlorg · Sep 1, 2005

Sorlorg = god

....um..i cant really start on making the map before i have been on my Live-Roleplay(or RPG) trip (3-Days Fryday-Sunday)
so its not going to be finished before....i guess next sunday if its going to be "Perfect" but...hope you can wait untill then!!

ohh...and if you got some Gnomish doodads or buildings(i need gnome butildings to make the outpost)then it would be great

Oligofrenu · Sep 2, 2005

@ North Star : you got this map from gnomergan...ok...that map is to help people in wow...did some of you played gnomergan instance in wow? if not you should do it imediately because it must not differ from original creation
hope i made myself clear...

Norinrad · Sep 2, 2005

Well, if you mean going to Gnomeregan and see all the objects, areas and stuff in WoW, we are working on it (we = our uber WoW scouting team

) after we'll have screenshot's of Gnomeregan, we can really start any work on it. Gnomeregan will be last location to terrain BTW.

Ok, I've sent terrain request to all terrainers, after they'll be done triggerers can get their hands on those maps ( unless you can work without terrain :shock: )

@sorlorg: No problem, we're not in hurry you know^^

sorlorg · Sep 2, 2005

pheew

Norinrad: M´okay...so it dosent matter if the map ain´t finished before all the Gnomish doodads are made and imported and used in the map??

AzUrE · Sep 4, 2005

Triggers don't have to be done with terrain (excluding region/terrain-texture/tree-targetting/etc. ones, that is :lol

. We could try to start on a few triggers, and then import them into the maps later on? Or custom abilities that you might want to use throughout the whole campaign. Just an idea. 8)

North Star · Sep 6, 2005

Screen Shots

I have a lot of pictures of Gnomeregan

. Just P/M me or E-Mail me if you want them. You can find my Wc3 E-Mail in the e-mail section.

-Star

Norinrad · Sep 17, 2005

Star, If you want to, post some more interesting shots here.

BTW here's an map for Rui:
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y248/Norinrad/lastmissionsmap.gif
Sorry for long wait but school is just taking all my time now :x

The whole area is covered with trees. Use human and orcish buildings for now, untill there will be some buildings models. Ironforge and Gnomeregan are underground cities so there will be visible only entrances of them, wnich will be custom models either.

Dude, so you must be busy creating all of those models, keep the spirit, Norinrad!

Btw, how's the techtree? Is it like what Barbavore said?

Norinrad · Sep 18, 2005

The tech-tree will be mix between Barbavore's ideas (especially buildings).

Norinrad · Oct 21, 2005

Could all the terrainers post their progress (in %) of the requested terrain please?

Also if you have some good shots of the terrain please post them in the terrain gallery. If you don't have any place to upload them please send it to me.

i just dont think i can do it.........sry
it sounded MUCH easier then it actually was!!
:cry:

sry again
and i wish that this campaign will be the best campaign that has ever existed..

(Norinrad....i can send you what i had made...though its not much...)

"I once called myself a real mapmaker...look at me now...,"Cried the coward Sorlorg.

Norinrad · Oct 31, 2005

Hey, don't get so hasty. We have much time, no one is chasing us

I know that there are more important things than making terrain for W3.

But if you are sure that you just can't and won't make it, well then tell me if you want to quit our team and just send me what you've done so far. I hope nothing like this will happen :cry:

sorlorg · Oct 31, 2005

I dont know anything about eating salad

..........well.....anyways im not quitting team
...But before i can go on with the map i´ll need some gnome building custom models.....I promise that i wont post a thing like my last post again!!

But is any of the maps going to be in a "not underground environment"..(like lordearon winter)
????

.....just notify me when the new Terrain and Building models are ready!!!....

Sorlorg....

Norinrad · Oct 31, 2005

Yay, I'm glad that you've decided to stay

I'll try to make some gnomish buildings ASAP

there will be missions happening "outside" but Rui is already terraining them

North Star · Oct 31, 2005
