Looking for Project Members: The Scourging of Azeroth

[Silverfish423]

Hello, I'm Silverfish423 and I have been working on a project of mine for awhile called The Scourging of Azeroth. It is a conquest style game that takes place after the events of The Frozen Throne campaign. It is based upon WoW lore, Warcraft lore, and my own personal twists. Below is some information concerning the project:

Project Information

Project Title: The Scourging of Azeroth
Creator: Silverfish423
Style: Conquest
Map Size: 4.16 MB
Map Dimensions: Epic (256x256)
Number of Players: 12
Summary: You are one of 17 available factions within the World of Azeroth whose goal is to dominate the Azerothian landscape. Alliances can change, as can races, as the quest to be the supreme leader rages on. Classic factions, such as the Burning Legion and Naga, will appear in this game. However, new factions, such as the Silithid Armies, led by C'thun, will make themselves known. Who will win?

Factions/Heroes

Factions/Heroes:
- The Silver Hand: Lord Reveles
- The Forsaken: Dark Lady Sylvanas, Varimathras, Apothecary Faranell
- The Naga: Queen Azshara, Illidan
- The Orcish Horde: Warchief Thrall, Vol'jin
- The Tauren:Cairne Bloodhoof
- The Night Elves: Archdruid Malfurion, Priestess Tyrande
- The Scourge: The Lich King, Kel'thuzad
- The Scourge: Anub'arak
- The Burning Legion: Burning Avatar of Sargeras, Doom Lord Kazzak
- The Burning Legion: Pit Lord Azgalor
- The Twilight Dragonflight*: Deathwing
- The Infinite Dragonflight*: Nozdormu
- The Silithid*: Old God C'thun, Twin Emperors Vek'lor and Vek'nilash
- Stormwind*: King Varian Wyrnn, Bolvar Fordragon
- Ironforge*: King Magni Bronzebeard, Gelbin Mekkatorque
- The Gurubashi Empire*: Blood God Hakkar, Jammal'an, Jin'do
- The Fire Elemental Armies*: Firelord Ragnaros, Majordomo Executus, Dagran Thaurissan
*Pink and Dark Green each get to choose one of these

Addition Info/Notes

I have worked on a large part of the map, including the terrain, most of the units, some triggers, etc. However, this is a very hard project to compelte by myself, plus, I would like additional project members who could include their own creative input. I want this to be a map that is very fun and has a high replay value. In addition, I am busy with school work and sports, so if I had additional project members to help keep the project going, that would be great.

If you are interested, have any comments or questions, would like to learn more about it, etc, leave a post or send a PM. If you are interested and would like to see the progress of the map and the direction it is going, send me a PM or message as well.

Thanks!

Sorry, I cannot work on getting the pics or map updated on school days (mon-fri). So I will (personally) work on it more over the weekend. However, if you are a member of the Project Group, or would like to be, please contact me.

 

[Etzer]

I can make triggers, and probaly terrain too...

 

[Silverfish423]

i have made all of the terrain basically, but you could improve on it or add your own little touches or whatever. and if you could do triggers, that would be great!
so, if you would like to do that, then tell me and you will be part of the team. once ur on the team, ill send u the map and we can start working on the map.

 

[Etzer]

I'll just have to know which kind of triggers it is... Basic hero chooser trigger? Well i am on if it is NOT JASS!!!

 

[Aslit]

i can work on spells

 

[Silverfish423]

@Etzer: Most of the triggers will involve making units do certain tasks (that are computer controlled) and different stuff like that. As the map progresses, I will find other stuff that needs to be triggered. If you want, I could post the map on Pastebin so you can take a look at it. Also, I would have a list of triggers that would need to be done.

@Aslit: That would be great. So far, I have only been doing spells that are modified by the Warcraft 3 Editor (the basic stuff), but if I could get someone to do more complex spells, that would be great! I will do the same thing with you, I will post the map on Pastebin this weekend and let you take a look at it, along with just some ideas for spells and such.

And to both of you, after you guys take a look at the map, you can tell me if you wish to be committed to this project. Thanks to both of your responses.

 

[Aslit]

i can work on everything that doesnt imply modeling.
an idea is an ability that infest the ground and create some skeleton warriors on it

 

[Silverfish423]

thatd be interesting.....that could work out for the Lich King (as an alternative to the normal AOE raise dead ability)
I need abilities for like the important heroes, such as the Lich King, Avatar of Sargeras, C'thun, Thrall, etc. After I post the map for you, we can come up with some ideas maybe??

 

[Aslit]

sound cool

 

[Silverfish423]

Aslit, another spell I need is a spell for a unit used by the Burning Legion. Basically it needs to be able to create a portal in one of several locations (you have to choose) and after it chooses, it goes away. This would also be a trigger, I assume, so Etzer could work on that as well.
I will give you both a more detailed description once I pastebin the map. It is hard to explain without you two having the map at your disposal.

 

[Silverfish423]

@aslit/etzer: what days/time this weekend can you get onto thehive chat or wc3? that way we can discuss the map. in addition, what time zones are you 2 from?

 

[Etzer]

I could all day from 3 PM. I'm on!

My time zone is central Europe (GMT+1)

 

[Aslit]

Gmt-3

 

[Silverfish423]

damn...hmm...u guys are several hours ahead of me (like 8 or something). I am in the Pacific US time zone. How about this, I am going to make a youtube account that will have videos on it about the map. We can also communicate that way. Do you guys have youtube/account?

 

[Aslit]

kakalxlax

 

[Silverfish423]

ok, i will look you up in a bit. I am currently uploading the first video (it will be in 2 parts, since it is 13 minutes long). It just goes over the starting points, the map, and some basic stuff. The video is basically just to help you guys get familiar with the map, as well as help to promote the map once it is finished.

EDIT: Nevermind, the video turned out to be longer than 10 minutes, so it got screwed up and youtube wouldn't accept it. I am going to redo the video. I think I can improve upon the video as well.

 

[Etzer]

My youtube account is LigthFlash <--- Spelled Ligth not Light. !

 

[Silverfish423]

i think i will just make the new video tomorrow, since the original video got deleted cuz it was longer than 10 minutes. look up SoASilverfish channel. That will be the channel for me/the project.
In addition, I was thinking that I will get on tomorrow sometime around 7-8, that way it will be within ur guys' timeframe (after 3). so, stay signed onto thehive chat after 3 (ur times) and i will be on, then we can discuss the map.
Also, tonight, I am going to try and get a lot done (like balancing the heroes, etc) so we have an ample amount to work on tomorrow (a lot is already done, but i think the heroes especially should be balanced/fixed before we start). So I will be working on that tonight.

 

[Miss_Foxy]

This map looks pretty good, I would want to help it out too... Is there any roles for erm, testers and such easy stuff?

 

[Silverfish423]

There is always room for testers and easy stuff
If you want, you could help with testing, balancing, etc. There are 17 different races in this game, so 3 people testing all of those would be different.
So, basically, the answer is yes, there are roles for testers and easy stuff
What timezone are you in? I am getting on tomorrow at 7-8 oclock (Pacific US). So, if you caluclate what time that is for your timezone, you can meet me and the other 2 on thehive chat to work on the map

 

[Etzer]

'K im on

But hey, i can't find your youtube channel!

 

[Silverfish423]

Awesome! But, what time is it over by you? And look for the channel with the email: [email protected]
I looked for it myself and could not find it, haha. Try the email, it might pull it up

 

[Aslit]

easier if u link a video and we get the channel from there

 

[Silverfish423]

i dont have the video ready right now, remember? I am hoping to get that done tomorrow. the video wouldnt upload cuz it was too long. in addition, i wanted to change some things with it. so, i am gonna redo it tomorrow while we all discuss stuff. can you guys go to thehive chat? i wanna talk bout some stuff real quick before i go to bed (ima be waking up in 6-7 hours so we can start workin on the map and discuss more stuff)

 

[Silverfish423]

Ok, now I am going to start uploading pictures of the different factions' starting points. I just uploaded the Silver Hand's starting point. Hopefully, by the end of the today, I will have the Forsaken and Naga starting points completed/uploaded.
For about 14/17 of the starting points, the terrain and units are completed, I just need to do buildings/cosmetic stuff.

 

[Aslit]

at pastebin?

 

[Silverfish423]

no, the pictures are on the very first post of all of this, but i have updated pastebin 3 times

 

[Goolygot]

I can make static doodads or building without any animations...

Well later I can learn to animate, but not know.

 

[Silverfish423]

@goolygot: do you mean you can model your own doodads/buildings? or do you mean just work on puttin doodads/buildings into the map?

 

[Goolygot]

@goolygot: do you mean you can model your own doodads/buildings? or do you mean just work on puttin doodads/buildings into the map?

Make my own. I have one approved model in the model section!

 

[Silverfish423]

Make my own. I have one approved model in the model section!

Really? Aaawweessoommee!! That is fantastic! I need some custom building models, cuz I do not wanna use generic warcraft 3 ones, plus for all the races, there arent enough. Do you think you could learn simple animations for your buildings soon though? like particles, a door opening, etc?
It would be ppeerrffeecctt if you could
Oh, by the way, your on the team

 

[Goolygot]

I shall try to learn some simple animations soon.

 

[Silverfish423]

@Goolygot: Awesome then!
I got some buildings that need to be made, if you wanna get started. They would need to be based off of two of HappyTauren's models, which are linked below:
http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/models-530/chaoscitadel-95534/?prev=d=list&r=20&u=HappyTauren
http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/models-530/demon-tower-95160/?prev=d=list&r=20&u=HappyTauren
The first one is gonna be the barracks, the second is gonna be a tower. However, I still need the 3 primary buildings, a farm, a lumber mill, and a magic building. These buildings would be used for the Deathwing/Twilight Dragonflight race, so they need to be based on a draconic/fire theme. Here are two links of stuff that could help you:
http://www.wowwiki.com/Deathwing
http://www.wowwiki.com/Black_Dragonflight
Finally, I would prefer the models to be no more than 100-150MB.
If you have any questions, just post a reply or send me a PM

P.S. That ramp you made is pretty sweet, ima give you rep for it, hehe

 

[Silverfish423]

Hey guys, if anyone wants to work on something, please let me know. Here are some suggestions:

@Aslit I could have you work on some more spells for heroes like the Lich King and Sargeras
@Etzer I have a trigger that needs to be done badly, I could give you more details via private message
@Miss_Foxy You could test out the map and see if there is anything wrong with it (I could tell you the races that need to be tested)
@Goolygot If you get start working on those models, that would be great. I sent you a PM about the magic building

Thanks for all your guys' help.
If you are interested in this project, leave a post and I will discuss with you about how you can contribute. Thanks!
