Naga Fans

[Chaos.]

its nice to see someone else actually getting active in this group. that makes a whole 4 of us. lol. It is so annoying when people join a group just for the sake of joining and then never participate in the chat. About 16 of the people in this group have never even said "hi, nagas rule" or something like that. Oh well, lol.

Sry my mistake, tamed would be a more logical way of putting it, since they are hostile animals and not a smarter race like the murlocs.

 

[Misha]

lol naga pets xD

Chaos., I will drop you and everyone else who requests, the map with the full naga race techtree. Unfortunately, modeling is a VERY slow work and I will limit to what's already there, with the pretty annoying same-looking buildings (because that's the only part that needs to be finished).
You can use my techtree, if you want, but you GOT to change the repeatitive buildings (Mur'gul Lair, which I renamed to Sunken Lair, is same with Spawning Grounds, the Tiers are all the same with a different scale, Shrine of Azshara == Royal Through, Reef of Creation == Merchant's Bay == downloaded from the Hive model). Sorry for the inconvenience.
I will help you with Naga race, wherever it's involved. Just lemme know when.
Death to the Surface Dwellers!

 

[Chaos.]

You can make some pretty decent looking buildings just by using building attachments. It looks alot better then just making the 3 main tiers using the same building but with different colors (which is what most people do). If you look in my Fate of Outlands thread on page 6 near the bottem of the page, you will see what i did using building attachments. You should do something like that instead of having repeated buildings.

 

[Interceptor]

Are these attachments done by using "Sphere"?

 

[Chaos.]

What's sphere? I just attach them the same way that you would attach a weapon. Create a dummy ability, remove all effects, and change the model file to whatever. Then where it says attachment point, type in origin and give that ability to the building. That is how i did it.

 

[Misha]

not just "sphere" you can add any atachment showing ability IF you know the attachmet points. ^^

 

[Interceptor]

I see, well, Sphere is an ability, used to attach things to units. It is owned by:
- Blood Mage, to make that spheres fly around him;
- Avatar of Vengeance, to make that sparks circle around in her body

I thought using that for attachment.

 

[Chaos.]

Oh that thing, lol. I thought that you were taking about some program called sphere or something like that, lol. Never even thought the ability. I always use the fountain of life ability.

 

[Interceptor]

Yeah it works but shows constructing animation -.-"

 

[Chaos.]

Ya thats the only part that i cant figure out. But still once its all finished you have to admit that it looks alot better then just putting different colors for the 3 tiers. Im sure there is a way to remove the constructing animations of the attachhments using triggers but i have gotten that far yet.

 

[Misha]

well.. that's the problem lol.. best attachments are those without "Birth" anim ^vv^

Different solution should be animation-name-attachment option in unit editor, you could set it to "stand" right away.. it works sometimes

 

[VeljkoM]

Sphere is also good to use as attachment.But I wish If there was a way to see those attachment points.

 

[Misha]

a Pech.. you can't see 'em even in modeling and animating programs =P

 

[Interceptor]

Works if you make a zero-collision dummy unit with XXX flying height, adding it the animation, making a trigger that places it with stand animation once the upgrade is finished and kills it if the building dies and plays its animation whenever the building does something. But looks some kind of... flawed to me. Dunno.
There is also "add special éffect" but is even worse than Sphere.

Attachment Point Names:
overhead (floats over the unit's head, but doesn't sway with)
head (sways with the unit's animation)
chest (also good for wings)
origin (usually at the base of a unit's feet)
hand
foot
weapon (for heroes)
sprite (for buildings)
medium (for buildings)
large (for buildings)

Attachment Point Modifiers:
left
right
mount (for mounted units)
rear (for quadrupeds)
first (for buildings)
second (for buildings)
third (for buildings)
fourth (for buildings)
fifth (for buildings)
sixth (for buildings)
rallypoint (for buildings)

 

[VeljkoM]

That isn't to much for simple attachment.Is it?
But there needs to be some way to see them.How do people make attachments then?

 

[Interceptor]

I don't understand your questions.

 

[VeljkoM]

Isn't that to much to do for simple attachment?

 

[Interceptor]

Believe me, creating a new model is harder.

 

[VeljkoM]

Didn't see it that way.Maybe one day I will really understand how hard is to make a model.

 

[Misha]

creating a model is waay easier xD
that is..... when you know how x3
and all those attachments are needed ^^ all of them

and...
ALARM: We need more Naga skins on Hive!

 

[Chaos.]

We need more naga everythig on the hive. We need to expand our army so that we can truly dominate, lol.

 

[Interceptor]

Creating a model via connection of points and then adding a texture via Photoshop is a nightmare. And when I think about I thought once (upon a time) that modifying UI texture is hard... N/C.
Yeah, we need more Naga skins/models. And when I think, a UI won't be a bad idea too. Anyone interested?

 

[Chaos.]

Well when im finished FoO, one of my next projects will be an epic naga campaign, and i had actually thought about learning how to make UI for it. But now im too busy
It would also be cool to see a naga campaign menu.

 

[Misha]

hmm.. for naga computer players you can just use the naga AI that's in the MPQ

creating a model is waay to easy ^^ rigging and animating it is hard

 

[VeljkoM]

I would more like to see computer using naga.

 

[Misha]

that's what i'm saying '~'

 

[Interceptor]

Don't you people think you should create something like MSN where we can discuss things, because it's kinda harsh to pollute the group chat like that.

MSN: [email protected]

 

[Misha]

i dunno... i don't accept just "anyone" in my MSN '~'

BTW.... i created a new WIP of my Naga Death Knight ^vv^

 

[Misha]

i think our Naga Death Knight quotes are good ^vv^

 

[Chaos.]

Yep. It was actually quite a bit of fun making our own quotes.
"Silence, i kill you." (thats got to be my fav. Jeff dunham rules, lol)

 

[Interceptor]

I'm making Naga UI atm. Looks great for now. I hope I'll finish it this night and upload it ^^

 

[VeljkoM]

Can't wait to see it.

 

[Chaos.]

sweet. Cant wait.

Just a random quote that i just thought of.

"People think of us as mutations. I wouldnt consider it a mutation... a perfection is a better way to put it."

 

[VeljkoM]

"Don't feel sad.We love you mutations."
"Death will rise from the tide!"

 

[Misha]

or this ^^

"confess, you're just green jealous of my serpentine body" (to girls)

oO;; dunno if it's good >.>;;

 

[Chaos.]

"Although we are enemies of the night elves, i still think that the one on the tiger is pretty cute." lol

 

[Misha]

or:

"Nagas are perfection, there is nothing better than.... Holly S*** Watta hot Nightelf!"

 

[Chaos.]

"but you have to admit, as much as we hate the night elves, they are pretty hot," lol.

 

[Interceptor]

This is the 1st variant. The resolution may be a little lower.

 

[Chaos.]

wickedly nice

 

[Misha]

Wow

Dude... remind me to take your map immideatly you get it here

 

[VeljkoM]

This is awesome.Your map should be ranked with Directors Cut.

 

[Chaos.]

i just added in a new discusion. We can talk about your map there. With all our combined ideas and opinions, this map will surely be epic.

 

[Misha]

yesss i agree ^vv^

 

[Chaos.]

"Nagas shall take over the Hive. Join us or you will become extinct"

Hey intercepter, since it looks so cool, could you please do me a favor. Could you make something similar to that but alot smaller. So that i could put it in my signature? That way we could advertise the power of the naga to the hive. I cant see it taking you that long. And it would be so cool. If you could do it i would greatly appreciate it.

What i would like it to be is a border similar to the one that you made, and in the border have it say:

"No one is safe from the wrath of the naga. We shall rule the Hive, And those who stand in our way will die. Join us, or face extinction."

Also add in a myrmidon picture on the left border.

 

[Chaos.]

btw i changed the group description to the above quote. What do you think. Its atleast better then what we had before dont you think?

 

[Misha]

this is making me giggle uncontrolably.... as we all here ARE "surface dwellers" with a passion for naga.... but... well... this IS a good one lol... ^vv^

Death to all who oppose the Nagaa!

 

[Interceptor]

No problem, just I may be busy these days around but I hope I will be free in evenings. Also the UI needs some places to be blanked and a few more modified textures (game menu, units w/o inventory, etc).

 

[VeljkoM]

We shall rule the surface world and Japan will pay for it's crimes against naga!
(This is just a joke not an insult)
