Map Development: The Scourging of Azeroth

[Silverfish423]

Hey guys!! I was taking a break because school was almost over and finals were coming up. But school is over, so it is back to business!!
I am going to start working on the map right now again

 

[n0w3]

can't wait for it to finish!

 

[Aztec_devil2000]

Hmmm, Do you still want me to terrain for the map again? Well, i'm probably so late now. As i see my last post was 20 pages before now ...
Oh well, hope all goes well with the map... I'm all alone creating my map . *StarGate Universe*

 

[Silverfish423]

@n0w3: Thank you! Keep coming back to check on the progress of the map
@Aztec_Devil2000: Sure! You can still help with terraining. Terraining (and other refining processes) will be saved till the end. So I will let you know when that time comes

 

[Aztec_devil2000]

You should also help me with my map xD, but before we continue to do anything we need a better place to talk :\, such as MSN. [email protected]...

 

[Silverfish423]

i dont have MSN! haha
you should get GameRanger. that is where Vahe and myself test the map and chat about the map! that way you would be connected to our mini-map team network

 

[Aztec_devil2000]

what's game ranger o.o

 

[apsycobear]

A simple googling of the term gameranger will give you the link, download is incredibly simple so shud be ez. Just download it, make an account, and bam you're ready. I'll go into more detail about how to use it when/if you get it.

 

[Aztec_devil2000]

Wow, never knew Age Of Empires I and II is so active online . So how does this work? Cuz i might try this with my map making maps too .

I'm guessing its like a game but it combinds 500 other games in one... Saves time finding a game to play

 

[Silverfish423]

Yeah, it is really nice! Also allows people like myself to host games when i cannot do it on a normal b-net server

 

[apsycobear]

Whats ur account name, me n fish will add u.

 

[Aztec_devil2000]

Well no idea what my account is, the registration was so fast.... I did nothing lol i just kept "next" all the time...

I guess its Aztec_Devil2000 .

 

[Silverfish423]

welll, how about you add us to make it a bit easier. I am Silverfish423. apsycobear is Vahe326

 

[ImperialShadow]

sad lol.....the hotmail cant go in....i cant do beta tester in gameranger.

 

[Aztec_devil2000]

Yes it can.............................

I some how managed to do that, was so weird.... My computer automaticly registered me up (With my email (hotmail))

 

[Silverfish423]

@ImperialShadow: Are you sure? I am sure hotmail works. We should go on hive chat and maybe I can help you register yourself on GameRanger from there
@Aztec: Awesome! Well, I am going to try to find you to add you. What is your account name? Or nickname?

 

[Aztec_devil2000]

Aztec_Devil2000

 

[Silverfish423]

I searched you and it didn't come up.
Search me. My name and nickname are: Silverfish423

 

[WillofKhrone]

Ra ra!

Ra ra!

Ra ra!

***world explodes***

Ra ra!

 

[Silverfish423]

WillofKhrone, do you wanna get GameRanger? That way you can test with us
Also, I think all of us testers should get on around the same time to test stuff. If we had 4, we could test Northrend and Northern EK

 

[Aztec_devil2000]

You do that math! I'm from australia 12 hour difference .....

 

[Silverfish423]

Okay, I will try and figure out something! 12 hour difference is quite unfortunate tho...haha

I'll figure somethin out.
If anyone is interested in testing, let me know!

 

[WillofKhrone]

Can't we just use steam. . . or battle.net?

 

[Aztec_devil2000]

WillofKhrone you have battle.net ?............................ It has been a long time finding someone who uses battlenet around here...

 

[apsycobear]

Na we can use b.net but silverfish disconnects from games for some reason so gameranger is more practical.

 

[Silverfish423]

Yeah. I disconnect from b-net after about 45-60 minutes of gameplay (sometimes i get lucky and it lasts several hours). Also, I cannot host on b-net.
However, I rarely rarely disconnect in GameRanger and can host on GameRanger. so it is more practical.
It is very easy to download and use.

 

[WillofKhrone]

Oh. . . well. . .

/sigh

I might be able to get Game Ranger. It's just my current situation makes it so I can't get viruses without severe consequences.

 

[Silverfish423]

You can't get viruses from GameRanger.

 

[WillofKhrone]

Well thennn. . .

 

[Aztec_devil2000]

Even if it were a virus, it's a good virus!

 

[ImperialShadow]

i got gameranger already..... now i can log in already.my id is shadow_hunter.
lol aztec u from austraila?i from malaysia lol......

 

[Silverfish423]

imperialshadow, mine is Silverfish423, so look me up. Also, is it Shadow_hunter or shadow_hunter? Cause I found one with a capital letter and one without a capital letter

 

[Sky Green]

Uhm... you're going off-topic rather tell us more about the project

 

[Silverfish423]

It is still related to the project. This deals with testing the project, which will allow me, the head honcho , to complete my work better.
Although I do see where you are coming from.
I have a question for you all. For those of you have tested the map, you may have noticed that a special site is not located in every single region. Do you think there should be? Let me know what you think

 

[Aztec_devil2000]

My name isn't in the beta testers , anyway i haven't been on lately due to call of duty black ops map packs D:.....

Haven't worked on my block buster stargate universe map either .
Might actually reformate the computer this sunday (aus time)...

 

[ImperialShadow]

when i online u guys not online...and silver my is capital Shadow_hunter

 

[Silverfish423]

@Aztec: I don't have anyone's names listed on any list for beta testers, haha
@ImperialShadow: I found you! I added you

So right now guys, I am adding a cinematic that is a mini-tutorial. It's pretty cool It briefly explains each race for each respective color and then gives a brief fly-over of the respective region of the races & world. I want it to feel epic

 

[Aztec_devil2000]

I could help you with the citromatic if you like , have you seen the small citromatic for my stargate universe on youtube?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fkkh1wQrb6E

it's not one of my best i have done better .

 

[Silverfish423]

Oh yes, you showed me that before. And I was actually thinking of asking you to do one for SoA!
So yes, if you could make one for SoA, thatd be awesome!!
When we are on GameRanger at the same time, let's work on it

 

[apsycobear]

By special area for each region what you mean? A dungeon like thing? If that's the case id try and refrain from that, more dungeons means the map gets bigger, and we've went over what hapns when the map gets bigger.

 

[Silverfish423]

By special site, I mean the income buildings. The ones that give 10g/60sec

 

[WillofKhrone]

So, Silver.

Emerald Dream.

Pewpew.

Will you make it happen?

 

[Silverfish423]

I would like for it to happen, but there is one problem....The Emerald Dream is technically as large as Azeroth itself... o.o

 

[WillofKhrone]

True. . .

You could do the Emerald Nightmare part of it over Kalimandor. By doing that, it could probably be the size of half of Kalimandor?

 

[Silverfish423]

Maybe! Yet, if I were to do this, I think I will have to include it in a later version. Scourging of Azeroth: Emerald Nightmare! (expansion pack) xD or soemthing like that.. right now, there is no room on the map for the Emerald Nightmare

 

[Silverfish423]

The map has been updated once again!!
If you are going to test, I suggest testing Scourge, Drakkari Trolls, or Nerubians/Iron Empire. This is done by going to the 'Northrend' selection team. Other races are still playable, but the experience is better with these 2 races so far. You will know what I mean when you test

 

[DEAD FiSH]

Keep it up Silverfish!

 

[Silverfish423]

Thanks!!

 

[takakenji]

im actually suprised how much work you put into blade's edge

 

[Aztec_devil2000]

Just tell me when your avaiable to lend me the map for me to do terrain polishing or something?, can't be from now to saturday night..... so mabye sunday (aus time)...
