Jaw-dropping sexiness. I've seen his other innovative maps before, but I can't believe I missed that one

I've decided to go the

• Custom script: call SetDayNightModels("","")

route.

Welcome to the dark side. Literally.

Weren't you doing an Outland style terrain? Or was that the inside of the dungeon, and this is the outside?

Haha thanks

Outland was initially used for it's black abyss tile and cliff supporting it, but since I've found a way around needing that, the dungeon won't particularly be Outlandish. Not entirely sure yet. And yes, the screen are the outside. Inside will be a mix of various types.

One of the best mapmakers I know of. Anyway off OT ^^

EDIT:

Try some custom trees Ruler!

I'm a sucker for Lords Summer

 

[HappyTauren]

I'm a sucker for Lords Summer

Seriously, using those trees guarantees you get -5 points on the terrain aspect xD

 

[mckill2009]

Just following, and no plan for joining yet...

 

[nedio95]

Erm only lordaeron summer trees are bad or all of them ? (Asking because I have some sunken ruins trees and they look good to me... And No, lordaeron summer trees looks like s*** to me too)

I think it's mainly just good ol' Lords Sum'r that people have a problem with. And when I say "people", I actually mean "those who prefer to make wc3 1% more realistic instead of leaving the theme intact".

They look amazing, they fit the theme perfectly and conserve the "feel" that WC2 had.

 

[nedio95]

For me they look kinda funny when looked from near horizontal angle...

Btw I like blizz cliffs more than the ones made with rise/lower... Just saying

 

[PROXY]

The trees itself do not look that bad, it's the tileset which looks totally like shit. Using the trees won't harm you at all ^^

 

[nedio95]

Lol ^^ making custom tilesets is one of the first things a war3 map maker learns to do.

Example: "I want to make map like "some awesome map". "Opening we. New map. Generaly new map gets lords summer tileset. Normal ppl notice the terrain edotor first(left>>right) "Lets do some terraining !! " "WTF where are those awesome tiles from "some awesome map"."

Edit// android keyboard is pain in the a** especialy when your phone display is around 4x8cm

Work in Progress 3

Here's my new WIP pics, I would like to make a video but I'm too lazy to get fraps or something like it.

 

[HappyTauren]

Where do you guys find those extremely nice huge bricks?

 

[edo494]

Im not new to WE or terraining but Ive learned or was interesting how to change tiles recently so never say never(unless you say never say never, then you can)

What if I reskin the tile? you will not find it anywhere, for instance HappyTauren's Lava model(not necessery tile but its very similar) look almost like tile but you have nothing of that quality in basic tiles

on topic: I would post new WIP but there is literally nothing new in my map so nothing to show :/ I wont have time until monday to work on it any longer then a few minutes :/

 

[APproject]

I suppose these are from this opera.

 

[xHalfDeadx]

@APproject yep those are the ones

 

[rulerofiron99]

Finally got properly started on my cave rock wall models.

I plan to make a whole set of these - different variations, curves, etc. When criticising it, please bear in mind that this is my first model. Do please criticise and make suggestions, though.

 

[Kingz]

@rulerofiron99

I like it.

@my map
Progress stopped until sunday, got a RL project i need to take care of.

 

[Allain55X]

Wow terrain looks very good! I wish I can do that terrain but Im a newbie. Watching here.....The beautiful terrains...

Start now, learn, practice and prosper

 

[Allain55X]

Well, Im already starting to practice terraining... In my project map. BTW, thanks for the motivation, you deserve a +REP!

Convenience over effort won't be an excuse to make use of third party programs (exception: Jass New Gen Pack). GUI actions that do not exist in the vanilla editor's database may lead to disqualification. WEU (World Editor Unlimited) and UMSWE fall into this category.

Too bad :S

Id like to participate in one of these contests, but noone allows alternative editors (

JNGP is all you need.

 

[_PV]

^ I downloaded it a few minutes ago! Time to study the tutorial xP

 

[nedio95]

I'll be dropping from this one. But I'll keep the map as idea throught...

Reasons by priority

-Too noob for you guys
-Want to make some systems and spells
-Want to finish my team project as soon as possible
-Terrain sucks rly hard
-School starts soon
-Having birthday soon (12thSep)

 

[_PV]

Can somebody please give me a download link to some decent "Dungeon Tileset"-related command Icons? will be greatly appreciated

 

[muzzel]

JNGP is all you need.

thats not true, sadly

 

[baassee]

thats not true, sadly

Then I do wonder what you want to use? WEU advanced options? ^^

 

[muzzel]

Nah its a new jass precompiler with a python-style syntax and cool features like dynamic dispatch, generics, ...
Its not officially released yet, but some ppl in the german community already use it.
i mean i could do the same in vJass, but i simply dont want

 

[HappyTauren]

You can make a thread in our Staff Contact forum so this request of yours might have a chance of getting approved. As far as I'd go, I'd say the problem is there because we do not have anybody on the staff who'd be able to read the map's code if it is in that format.

 

[muzzel]

Reading it shouldnt be a problem if you know some other languages. But maybe il post a request, thx.

 

[HammerFist132]

Beware dispare mortals HammerFist is back: soon ur sky will fall on ur backs because my mighty hand will start clicking mouse once more and expect my last WIP in 15 and final entry in 20 september. That's all from me little devil: Rodger.

 

[HappyTauren]

Obviously, but we do not know how the language behaves, while vJass has been around for years so we know exactly what we're reading.

Riiiiiiiiight

 

[rulerofiron99]

This will probably be my final WIP.

Still doesn't include any items, but the first area, along with several creeps and minibosses, is complete.

A word of caution; it has claimed the lives of many heroes. If you are going to play it multiplayer, make sure all the players know how to kite and more importantly that there is no respawn. If you are going to be playing single player, take it slow and good luck

 

[Kino]

Ive been working secretly for the past 10 or so days.
Soon Ill post some WIPs of the dungeon.

Its another way of saying that Im in this contest.

 

[SA Dashie]

I've been working on a unique style cinematic for some intense game-play!
Luckily I don't have to post wips for that.
I still hope that I can finish the map to the state I want. >.<

 

[TheWhiteWolf]

I am joining this one... I am making a FPS game, with intense camera work, still can't decide between melee or shooter... :/

 

[HappyTauren]

Please do not make a FPS game. Make something playable instead. It will take you more work to create something that will be extremely annoying to play

 

[baassee]

It's a bad idea trust me. But if you wanna do that then good luck

 

[Tickles]

Yes, I can say from personal experience that FPS maps are fun to make, but they take too much work for a simple month-long contest. Too many height, distance and angle formulas that the terrain can interfere with. It would be better as a side project, especially now that there's less than 20 days left in the contest.

 

[TheWhiteWolf]

Then I will make a simple first person game with mostly melee attacks. That shouldn't be hard, right?

 

[rulerofiron99]

The problem with first person/3rd person in warcraft 3 is that people often like to use arrow keys, which are laggy. The other problem is the camera - which goes wonky over terrain, so that limits your terraining options.

It *can* work, but arrow keys/keyboard control is the most intuitive for this type of map, and since it doesn't work well you have to resort to usual click orders, which are rendered ineffective because you now have half of a screen to click on. At best this is still frustrating to play.

I suggest at most making it a 3rd person camera with an option for normal camera.

 

[TheWhiteWolf]

ok, no fps then well, here is my idea, just to be sure i'm not copying anyone:

Warmage

Controls:

Up - walk
Up x2 - run
Down - walk backwards
Down x2 - rotate 180
Left/Right - rotate
F1 - attack
F1 (rapidly) - attack combo
F2 - bolt (ranged attack)
F3 - defend (defends from frontal attacks)
F4 - Channel (after casting channel, you press F1/F2/F3 to use an ability: F1 - Slam (AoE around hero attack, F2 - Power Bolt (bolt with increased AoE, damage, can go trough units...in one word, maximized), F3 - Time Sphere (slows down creeps and missiles and stuff inside the sphere)

Combos:
6xF1 - fist combo
3xF1 + Up + 3xF1 - spear combo
3xF1 + Down + 3xF1 - sword combo
3xF1 + Left + 3xF1 - handblades combo
3xF1 + Right + 3xF1 - mace combo

Camera:
3D third person camera which follows unit from behind;
The camera stuff like distance, height and other can be manually changed.
Camera will also move during combos and spells.


That's about it for now, soon it will be WIP time.

 

[rulerofiron99]

Why are item tables so broken :<

 

[baassee]

As said, good luck!

Why are item tables so broken :<

?

 

[rulerofiron99]

Items from different item tables are dropping. I've (for now) resolved the issue by making new item tables. Not even going to remove the old item tables in case the new ones get bugged.

 

[Tickles]

Controls:

Up - walk
Up x2 - run
Down - walk backwards
Down x2 - rotate 180
Left/Right - rotate
F1 - attack
F1 (rapidly) - attack combo
F2 - bolt (ranged attack)
F3 - defend (defends from frontal attacks)
F4 - Channel (after casting channel, you press F1/F2/F3 to use an ability: F1 - Slam (AoE around hero attack, F2 - Power Bolt (bolt with increased AoE, damage, can go trough units...in one word, maximized), F3 - Time Sphere (slows down creeps and missiles and stuff inside the sphere)

Those controls seem very similar to something... something very Aegaeus-like But the combos and everything sound cool. There aren't really any other hotkey options for letterbox mode anyway. I was going to mention experimenting with both first-person concepts before deciding what to do, but I think a third-person map would suit Warcraft a lot better. All of those combos are going to keep you busy enough as it is.




Well this is a short WIP demo of my map. I'm a renegade and sticking with FPS. It's my last protected WIP with a few Triumphs (achievements) to unlock. You're virtually invincible, but you lose points by getting attacked. You can't lose points gained by Triumphs, because you receive Triumph points at the end. The goal in this demo is simply to get the most points possible. Graphic settings should be set to high.

 

[baassee]

Items are evil things in WCIII.

@Tickles definitively your stile and I like it
With better models quality this can become nice map.
