Mini-Mapping Contests: The Drums in the Dungeon

[HappyTauren]

Well, you have to put WIPs at some point in the contest.


@Kingz . Ruined Basement ?? Call it a cellar

Maybe when it starts looking good enough

 

[Kingz]

Note:
These textures:

Most of the diablo-themed tiles were made by a user from polycount.net called Cycloverid

The rest were done by the CloudWolf studious, so if anyone wants to use them, be sure to credit them.

I also have a copy of them on my hard drive if anyone wants them.

Edit:

New wip, working on entrance of the dungeon, hope you guys like it:

 

[HappyTauren]

Here.

 

[neo_sluf]

Those are good terrains. I really dont expect to win.My dungeon is very simple.Because i am a poor terrainer.

 

[HappyTauren]

Doesn't matter, my gameplay and storyline, for example, are going to suck, so get points there xD

I don't think much of my own terrain tbh. D:

 

[nedio95]

Looking at the superior terraining skills of others is starting to emasculate me... D:

Same here... Started with triggers

 

[edo494]

at least you have terrain, I have nothing so far

 

[Omnom18]

Get started, then! :O

 

[edo494]

well, I was experiencing with the tiles but I must learn because first week in school I have one very important exam

I work day and night. This is result map finished about 40%; terrain, triggers, mobs, spells. Map size about 5 mb. One hero many cinematics. This is only alpha version. U can see items at star and tat is all

 

[HappyTauren]

*let's steal EVERYTHING!*

 

[Kingz]

Roflmao wow models everywhere xD

I ain't downloading wow just to rip it's models , that is for sure xD

 

[Drunken_Jackal]

EVEN HIS NAME!

WoW models only fit under certain circumstances though. You can always DL models over the net, from sites like wcunderground or ChaosRealm.

Dungeon of the Chilling Lord sounds bad.

 

[HammerFist132]

How to rename it. Bane of Frost heart xD

If you are going to use QWERD as hotkeys, I suggest that you move interface icons down (so that you have Z X C V for move/attack/stop/holdposition).

 

[_PV]

Well, I assume everybody thought: "If I take dungeon Tileset, It's going to be so Unoriginal! I think I'll take Northrend or something to be non mainstream ^-^" So Anything that is non-mainstream just became mainstream -> Guess I'll go with Dungeon Tileset D

 

[Kingz]

Or use 16 tiles and not limit yourself to a single tileset

 

[edo494]

well, my first WIP, not really telling anything as I didnt even though about the story or map name

 

[HappyTauren]

I've decided to be 'original' by creating custom tesxtures and models. Ha, beat that.

 

[Kingz]

Ehm i am creating also custom models and textures.
Tho mostly for walls and possibly tiles.

Edit:

Tho my time is limited so it will probably be very little amount.

Edit2:

Final drafts coming to an end. Main systems structure assembled on paper and plot/enemies brainstorming almost complete.
Terraining the hall of bones now.

 

[rulerofiron99]

Here's my WIP, I guess.

There's practically no terrain, save for a pathway with black abyss on either side. In my defense, I did spend a large amount of time getting the fog right.

All the heroes are in, but I've only made a few of the abilities. The Kobolds have knockback

 

[HappyTauren]

Hmm, transparent tile, interesting... What are you going to put for the background?

 

[rulerofiron99]

Well initially it was just the black abyss texture, which, in the presence of fog, shows grid lines.

I'll probably layer the edges with some more rocks, and place some rocks at -1000 Z height for the perception of depth.

Furthermore... I wouldn't want to spoil the horrors that will emerge from this abyss

 

[HappyTauren]

What I meant is, I can create a custom fog model for you that works well with that kind of abyss (so that you can set environmental fog independably).

That would be amazing!

I spent about an hour searching for a cloud/fog model that I can use; even tried (unsuccessfully) to paint one of their .blp's black.

Wip 1
This would be the first (of four) part of my dungeon

Please re-read the first post and the contest discussion topic in the Arena. We need to FEEL like in a dungeon. Pirates and islands doesn't seem like it applies.

 

[Omnom18]

My ideas, they are running out. D:

 

[xHalfDeadx]

Work in Progress 2

Alright, I've made some changes. Not very many to the terrain, but I suck at terrain, so bleh.

In case you've forgotten, here's my totally awesome WIP 1 Screenshot:

Screenshot

Alright, as if I haven't totally blown you away already, the screenshot of the totally better terrain is below, along with a screenshot of all the items I've made thus far.

 

[Omnom18]

So, I'm sort of unfamiliar with crediting people for their models and the like in a map. Am I supposed to specify what units use their models? And it's fine to do so on the loading screen, right? I ask because I kind of had a plan for the Optional Questlog, that being a bestiary.

... Though I suppose I can credit the creator in the unit entries...

EDIT:

Here's a screenshot of the fourth floor so far.

Third floor may contain spoilers. ;D

For every export that you make in your map, you must somehow mention the authors in quest log, ingame message, endgame credit cinematic , etc.

So yeah, in the bestiary entry? Most things'll get their own questlog thing for them, so I'll put the credits there.

 

[neo_sluf]

There will be a punishment when i can't submit my map at the given deadline?

 

[SA Dashie]

Time to post the actual map progress so far.
So far I have made some amount of terrain, movement system, and camera system to suit the terrain.
Tips and criticism would be highly appreciate on any flaws. =D
Sorry for the large file size, it will be likely that it will be smaller when I post the final submission.
Also optimized so you guys don't get at my stuff easily.
Hope the screen shot doesn't appear as dark for me as it does for you.

 

[Kingz]

Prepare to see:
Trigger made items


Hehehe

 

[-Kobas-]

Prepare to see:
Trigger made items


Hehehe

Impossible
Even if you edit stats trough code you can't edit tooltips ^_^
So I guess you will have some multiboard/custom tooltip display on the screen, but still main item as object can't have nice tooltip and that suck. Damn Blizzard why were they so lazy and didn't allow as to change all object editor fields with triggers

 

[Kingz]

Oh you will see

It's gonna be fun on a bun.

Edit:

Final map must not be protected. Just a heads up.

Edit2:

The file size limit is 20 MB, so be careful.

 

[edo494]

so another wip of mine starting zone(yes its not in dungeon but you will move there very quickly)

pic

 

[rulerofiron99]

I've gone a different path - making the under part of the dungeon before the starting area. Currently focusing on gameplay.

 

[nedio95]

Please re-read the first post and the contest discussion topic in the Arena. We need to FEEL like in a dungeon. Pirates and islands doesn't seem like it applies.

Well i thought not to make only dungeon but full fledged quest
The other 3 parts would be 100% dungeon.

 

[baassee]

Keep heads up high, looking great!

 

[edo494]

another wip of mine, this time entrance to dungeon(wihtout any weather effects)(keep in mind most time spend on surface will be intro cinematic)

pic

 

[Tickles]

Obviously the terrain needs a lot of work, but this is a WIP of the pistol system I finally finished. It's a dual weapon first-person shooter on a moving mine cart using arrow keys to rotate your view horizontally/vertically.

 

[HappyTauren]

Are you sure that's Wc3?

 

[Omnom18]

Are you sure that's Wc3?

I've never seen a game like that before.

 

[Kingz]

Ehm dualism shares the same principle.

Anyhow i don't like making maps which WC3 can barely support so i am sticking to ordering units around

My comment was a joke, but I agree with this. It will never really work and it will never be any good.

 

[Drunken_Jackal]

Agree there.
Also, is everyone doing Single player maps?
I know that you have an option to pick either Single or Multi, but just asking.

 

[Tickles]

Yeah, it looks like everyone is doing single player maps so far. I would think they're easier for judges to test anyway.

Edit: I'll just post a test map I used for the WIPs since you haters be hatin'. I don't usually protect maps, but this is for now. It shows up as 01 in the map list if anyone bothers to try it, and video graphics (except resolution) have to be set to high.
