Mage Arena 1.06

[tjordell]

Freeze, I wonder if I could join you as a spell creator. The Shock Bomb i did for you wasn't that good because i didn't have much time. And also, here in sweden, i've made this map pretty famous for like 50 ppls i know that plays Wc3 and also i've hosten this map on B.net like 40 times xD Hehe i love it overall!

 

[Freeze87]

That is very nice, and your spell is good, only problem is this lazy ass Garfield, i wait him 1 month,he must change some things in triggers. You can join us, i need someone who is not so lazy like this lazy cat ass I need bolt spell.Bolt that deal damage to enemy and heal caster (life steal bolt). Example, if bolt hit enemy, deal 100 damage to enemy and heal caster for 50 hitpoints.Can you make that?

 

[Garfield1337]

That's a super easy spell,too bad Freeze underestimated my trigger knowledge D:
And imma do those triggers after Zephyr contest.

 

[tjordell]

Freeze87, I'm home to my dad right now so i can't do anything of this because i dont have WE there... About 1 week (Friday) i meaby can create something. Send me a PM then m8 =D

No need,i've done it already.

 

[tjordell]

Yeh and he told me to late. When i was almost finished with the spell. I didn't got it MUI this time because this is my second time using Hashtables... Well anyways here is the spell itself: LINK

 

[copsychus]

Is it similar to Battlemage that made by Dark Reveant ?

 

[Freeze87]

Kinda,maybe Whay you dont try map and see...but i didnt now for Battle Mages when i started to make map,so it is not copy or something like that...try and see

 

[copsychus]

I think this problem is bug or not?

For frost bolt . sometimes it was approach to enemy , but the enemy didn't freeze or taken damage.

But for fire bolt and poison. It seem like they did it.

And sometimes when i point a bolt here , but it pass my target there.

But sometime it follow my point. Is this a kind of problem?

like

X is your hero O is your target.

X -----> O sometimes that follow my point target.

x ------ O -------> sometimes it didn't . . .

and do you have other choice . with jump . . jump use so hard . spint is more easy.

 

[-Kobas-]

You shouldn't use loading screen for map preview image
Here Click and download attached image in TGA format, just import it to map!

I never seen that,i think that bolt work fine...i will check that.....

 

[Goosebearslug]

Is this map similar to Warlock without the closing in arena?

 

[Freeze87]

Similar,hm maybe.... it is only team game,and no pushing enemy in lava....but spells need skill like in warlock if you want to hit enemy ;D Download and try with friends and you will see xD

 

[Goosebearslug]

yeh ill prob test with mates when i get on my hosting computer >

 

[bureaulamp]

ay

cookies

 

[Goosebearslug]

I tested the map online and although u may be already doing this i sudjest making more seperate spells for each type of mage

 

[Freeze87]

yes we think same but for that we need a lot of time We also need ideas for game modes? guys pls write your ideas...btw tnx for comments

 

[lateris]

There could be a dueling mode - two players are picked to duel once in a while, maybe a "catch the flag" mode. These are the most basi most basic modes i know
Maybe all random mode. Maybe even a mode with special event that happen once in a while. These are only a few suggestions.

 

[tjordell]

I dislike the duel idea because this is an arena that is epic nice just as it is but there may be some stuffs that got to be updated/implemented. Like a damage system with floating text. And the spells should not do exact damage. It should count in the armor and the mages would be able to buy tomes. The damage of the spells should be dealth according to the Int/Agi/Str. It makes the map more... Hmm what to say... Random. What i mean with random is that no one knows how much damage each spell does. Then it wont be that easy to calculate when to flee and regain hp and to stay in battle. That idea that i just wrote would be really really really good. Try it just like an Beta.

Thank you all for taking time to read this idea.

 

[Garfield1337]

@tjordell
I've actually suggested to Freeze most of the things you just said,i especially like the idea that spell damage is based on stats,which i suggested too,but Freeze doesn't want those things..because he says they aren't needed :/

 

[tjordell]

Hmmm... That wasn't good. I do really want that to be implemented...

 

[Garfield1337]

I guess i'll have to convince Freeze to let me change those spells in that way.

 

[tjordell]

Yeah do that!

duel idea is bad i think, but we need "all random" like mode or just 1 command so on start you can pick random mage. I added damage system in 1 beta version but poison mage deal damage every seconds so map laged very much.Tomes hm, but then we dont need spell upgrade system? But something rly missing in this map, some spark that will make map more interesting and "random" like tjordell says.

 

[-Kobas-]

After more than 5 months your map description still isn't really good

Here check uploaded pictures for my:
THW map template

Use

sometimes!
Also Credit List should be re edited!
Write near each name what that dude do to improve your map!
Add links to models and icons to make it godlike

Use [size=+#], etc etc, more, for example:

- Story:

Every 10 years,a tournament between 2 mage clans is being held. An epic battle of sorcery skill that will prove whose magic teachings are better. You start as one of 4 mages from your clan,striving for victory that will bring glory to both you and your clan.

- About Game:

In this game 2 teams (red and blue) fight in small arena using spells to kill enemies.
Host can chose amount of kills needed for victory.

I understand, a spark that makes the map unique and makes the map replayable.

Maybe random events? Here are a few suggestions of random events:

Evil mage comes to harvest souls. The evil mage roams around the map fighting everyone until he gets x kills, then he dissapears. If he is killed he drops an improved bottle of souls.

Armagedon. A mage casts a wrong spell and summons armagedon. Meteors start falling all over the arena. Other mages are tring to cancel his spell. So the armagedon stops after x seconds, or after a players stops it(maybe after collecting x number of something, or somehow).

 

[tjordell]

lateris, I don't mean to be rought now but you'r ideas suxx... Say something Un-Common instead. =D

 

[Freeze87]

map alredy have random events, every 350 sec of the game, now i set that they are more often..but they are simple: mages get speed,mages lose speed (havy wind), mages lose half hit points..etc we need ideas for better random events...and more interesting.

Kobas: i now to use BB codes but i was lazy, you are right i must make better desription like you in your maps xD

 

[Garfield1337]

Freeze,get on MSN already. You're posting here and you aren't online there so we can't discuss much about map.

 

[tjordell]

Hehe Freeze87, I'm going to host you'r map at B.net now (Northrend(Europe) realm) =)

 

[Garfield1337]

you'r

Not only his

 

[tjordell]

Sorry Garfield xD OUR! I'm also in to the project =)
I tested my Shock Bomb and i see that you've canged some stuffs. I want you to change the timer from 3 to 2. It's easier to kill then =)

And also i want you to have more kill stuff. Like type "-Unlimited" to play how long you want to.

 

[Garfield1337]

I actually made bomb from scratch cuz Freeze said your version bugged.
Also changing timer from 3 to 2 would be imbalanced since you can easily kill using Swap+Shock Bomb. Place a shock bomb on your position,wait 'till timer goes to 1 and swap with an enemy.

OUR!

As far as i know,we didn't use any of your resources.

 

[tjordell]

Well that i didn't knew about... And why did my bugged? :S Anyways i'm in the team AND the credits. That was what Freeze said and i think that he gave me credits cuz to be kind because i lay down a much of time for this. But now away i use hashtables because it is more fun =D Not to much clicking because of all the integer for indexing.

 

[Garfield1337]

Indeed you have contributed the map,thus you are in credits,still...i don't want to be rude,but i doubt you're in team as we don't need you much. We're already 3 in team,and i'm currently triggerer.
About your shocking bomb,he mentioned something about it's timer...i'll ask him as soon as i contact him.

 

[tjordell]

Okay... Well then i'm out. Remove me from credits and ill unsubscribe this and getting into something else.

 

[Garfield1337]

Lol...no
You're in credits and we're thankful for your contribution to map. I just say you aren't in map making team,since we have enough already
I'm sorry if i've been rude,c'mon...

 

[tjordell]

No prob but if I'm not here to help, for me, i dont have anything here to say or do. I just enter threads to help peoples or to join the "Crew" so to speak.

 

[-Kobas-]

Will someone fix description, I want to review this one, please I don't want to reduce mark because of description!

Also I can create some, I guess good, images for your description...
I will attach them to post tomorrow, all you need to do is to upload them again to your album to keep them and link them from there to your description

 

[Garfield1337]

I'm very bad at description,but Freeze isn't that bad so i guess he'll do it

 

[Freeze87]

Garfield my net is offline,some problems.. i will not have net until first day in next mounth...i am now on brothers pc..Kobas i will update desripion when my net start to work..,tnxfor your help.And Garfield i didnt say that Tjordell's spell is buged, it works..but when you trow bomb looks little strange and spell only have 1 level....but it is ok.Tjordell you help us,pls stay in team i will have jobs for you in future about map if you want to work....

 

[-Kobas-]

Hey I created thread about map description images, you can post request there!
Need pictures for your map Description? - Come here!
It will be faster
Just tell me what you need!

 

[Garfield1337]

Freeze,you said something like: Fix shock bomb's timer,there's something wrong with it. But nevermind,it doesn't matter now.

 

[Ironside]

I have checked the map myself, I give it a rating of 5/5. I will contact the moderator to approve your map.

 

[Garfield1337]
