Haven't you uploaded this before? If yes, use the Update button whenever you wish to upload a new version. The button is located above the Map's Name.

 

[maplover]

nice!
i suggest you make the ships sink more slowly and make water splash out while sinking...
when hit by cannon balls wood should be thrown out!
make the navigating system with the keyboard controls more realistic! it shouldn't be like i press left key and it just turns to left in a second....it should move a bit front and turn slowly . i think this might help you in your future updates for this map ...

 

[TKF]

Haven't you uploaded this before? If yes, use the Update button whenever you wish to upload a new version. The button is located above the Map's Name.

Yep, but there's a major difference between Beta and this version in terms of map size and lagg.

Also I can't make the preview picture to work on THW for some odd reasons.'

I lack wood animation and effects to make that work. Splashes isn't a big problem.

Also the key movement system is beta. It gives move orders to your ship, not trigger movement. Also it's not possible to get turn rate below 0.1, so the ships turn around pretty swiftly anyways... I think the keycontroll turn shouldn't surpass ships turnrate, but I haven't checked that part it myself yet...


Also decreased all movement bonuses, so ships doesn't look like racerboats anymore. (Well, intercept still kinda does)

 

[Discohydra]

Ahhh good game, And better terrain from the old Beta.
You've outdone yourself on this one TKF, Good work!

I haven't played it before, but, ill try it out on a single player test. If possible with your new "Xv0 defeat system"

Good work though, I can tell it's good

 

[Septimus]

Well, TKF.. it they are same map with the only difference in size and lag. You should remove the version that you think is not the best.

If you play on singleplayer and choose 0 computers, you should be able to test the game. It's the same in beta.

Well, TKF.. it they are same map with the only difference in size and lag. You should remove the version that you think is not the best.

I've removed it now.

I hate trade atm - it's unbalanced!

Trade Nerfing:

I need to balance trading, cuz at current state the missions gives way to much money in comparison to when you not trade. about 5 times in difference. I'm going to at least halve the awards and perhaps make an enforced trade sharing system, that gives half of the trade share to the other players against the traders will. This way the other in your team will benefit from slightly increased income from the trade missions, while the trader itself keeps 50% of the gold.

So basically trading will be much less profitable, but it still gives you abundance of ability points.

 

[Ash]

There was no need to remove the other; one is a more expansive map and focuses on adventure and 'RPG'ing, whereas the other is solely confined to an AoS.

 

[TKF]

Some of the other modes disagrees. Also the other version no longer exist on my computer :/ since I kinda expanded the same map. To late now...


Anyways you have to wait 30 min from start until mid arena is revealed for mere mortals. Many players won't figure out a way to get outside the mid arena, as it requires some IQ. I've never seen a game so far where a player has figured a way to travel west, this seems to difficult for them to crack the 2 step puzzle (which isn't hard IMO)

Also to the right side, 2 step puzzle (1 step if killing pirates isn't counted as a step)

This is still an AOS type, many games are played without anyone traveling beyond off the normal AOS arena. Also it's a huge risk going on a adventure, since you lose ally vision and you're base might get owned meanwhile.

Edit_

I've updated to 1.02 and fixed a few things. It did take some time cuz my editor crashed :/

 

[Cokemonkey11]

I loved the original naval battle, gotta test this version out.

Do you plan on releasing an "epic lag free" version of the beta? (with autofire cannons)

What original naval battle? beta? or the Naval Combat version?

No, have no such plans. Also I've deleted the beta at the hive, so it's a bit late.

Also if I add autofire weapon and remove the manual weapon system, it will be "just another BS clone". So no!

__________

If you find bugs in 1.02, I would like to know.

 

[Cokemonkey11]

Tested it last night, and I was depressed to see a "private pirate dock"

I will most likely never play this again, not competitve at all. All the ships are slow as shit and the ship abilities are organized rather poorly.

What's bad about the pirate dock?

Explain what's so bad about them?

_________

I greatly reduced the ships speed they will stay that way. This is not a racing boat map like all the other maps. Expect a very long game when you play this map.

 

[Cokemonkey11]

basically the fact there are pirates and black pearl ruin the game imo.

the cast weapon idea is actually pretty cool, i like the way you set it up, but theres a bug. port and starboard side flipflop incorrectly (according to my friend) so when your facing downward it's still the "left" side of the screen, but not the ship.

I played as trader and it was quite boring, no new trade routes.

We both became pirates and ended up "losing" even though we werent allied to and couldnt see the south empire.

The bottom door to the pirate dock doesnt work - trees in the way

the ability "artillery" didnt destroy the trees

It takes 15 minutes to get out of the pirate waters

The east side "open ocean" is pretty dumb since the opening is on north side

the pirate ships that are randomly scattered about my trade routes were super annoying and they basically just sat there till i got someone to kill.

Basically the only thing I like thats changed is the cast-weapons, but even they don't work that great.

Might I suggest, in order to organize hero spells better, keep them in a 'spellbook'?

Starboard = right side of your facing
Port = Left side of your facing

I've tested this multiple times and it's working as it should.

I played as trader and it was quite boring, no new trade routes.

I haven't done anything there yet. But I'll maybe add more trade routes to far away locations. Perhaps motherland trade mission, Going to a random spot in west....

Good thing mentioned this, cuz the trade system is still the old same and unchanged. I've only reduced some of the mission awards so trading isn't as imba anymore.

We both became pirates and ended up "losing" even though we werent allied to and couldnt see the south empire.

You mean you wasn't allied with each other when you joined the pirates?

When ALL players is pirates, there's basically no sides to fight, so win. Also I've not changed the victory conditions to fit the pirates.

Their role is simply go against both empires and have fun and change which empire they want to attack, or both. Pirates is kinda 3rd team in this map. The purpose is not for the pirates to go against everyone. Yeah and I put the spawning location for the pirates quite far away, so it takes some time before you get out of the pirate hole.

The bottom door to the pirate dock doesnt work - trees in the way

It jammed? Weird. But that gate can be blown if needed...

The east side "open ocean" is pretty dumb since the opening is on north side

There is 1 gate for south side and 1 gate for north.

Might I suggest, in order to organize hero spells better, keep them in a 'spellbook'?

Isn't the current abilities enough?

_________

New version! 1.03! The currest cannon hotkeys AWSD. Currently the ships secondary abilities uses V and R hotkeys. I think the hero spells should be easier this way and slightly better organized than random hotkeys.

I added 1 more trade mission for the trader, but that requires 90 trade points to start, and also risky as you might get the wrong trade item if you try to cheat , but you can finish this in 2 ways, so it has multiple ways unlike the other static trade contracts! Doing this hard mission will unlock a new weapon.

ops 1.02 loading image! xD

 

[bnw2000]

Can you give me a clue on how 2 to use the mystic pearl???
Also how do u open the west gates?? where the pirates cove is lol....use bombs ??

 

[TKF]

There's things you have to figure out yourself. I'm sure you find out how to get into the west.

I'm releasing a 1.04 version soon with another 2 pirate ships, and I'll fix the buy bug which prevents pirates from changing ships. Also going to add a win condition for the pirates, and you must defeat the pirates if some player which did betray their empire, just to make the game fair for those pirate suckers. (hah!! they don't have an army of ships, they're screwed!)

Currently the 1.03 version used the ancient non changed win conditions which does not include the pirates. I'm going to change that!

 

[bnw2000]

Must there be a pirate ship??? Else whats the use of having the flagship west where u cant enter cause there are no pirates

 

[TKF]

Must there be a pirate ship??? Else whats the use of having the flagship west where u cant enter cause there are no pirates

You can get there without being a pirate you know. Getting black pearl is a cheap way of getting yourself shut off from the world when you can't pass the gates.


__________

Map size 127x127?
That's bs! It must be confused by the camera bound expanding trigger.

 

[Tleno]

Its something like a battle tanks, only with more water... Somebody should create Battleplanes or Battle spaceships...

 

[phay_1995]

I have a question.Who is the best battleship map right now

 

[TKF]

Who is the best battleship map right now

Who? Maps isn't a person you know.


I didn't find any bugs in 1.05 (expect minor ones). So If you find any bugs, tell me.

 

[Cokemonkey11]

Of course my map is the best

Only joking of course.

The correct answer is: Depends what you're looking for from a battleships game.

Excuse me Septimus, You have the following errors,

Error #1: Negitave review 2, is NOT true, You have an accuracy attribute in the hero, It reduces the cone of fire that you can produce, leading to more accurate fire.

Fatal error #2: You did not give this map 100/100, For all the effort put into the cannon system (I am a friend of the mapper, and he told me that it took 7 days for non-stop-with-sleep triggering.)

FATAL ERROR #3: You did not rate this map PREMIUM

FATAL ERROR #4: This did not get a directors cut for the realism, and the effort in this.

His map detail/description/information did not state this map is protected. In addition, not all mod/admin had the authority to rate a map director cut.

 

[TKF]

I thought I did put the info that the map is protected, but the info is now there on top instead of being hidden.

At start, your aim is pretty bad. In order to hit better, you need to increase your accuracy in order to spread less randomly. Accuracy more than 50 isn't needed, cuz there's a limit. Some people has been complaining the the barrage skills spread was way to low, so barrages now is always inaccurate.

 

[Dinah]

i don't know wheathe its still in this version but in the beta the neutral pirate ships had very exensive items you could sell when you bord the ship ...

New version released. If you find bugs with the new features, I would like to know asap!

 

[bnw2000]

flamethrower has some infomation given wrongly.... when it is on the ground , and when u select it it tells it does 900 damage in 1000 range.

and cannons ball should be still slightly spread at around 30 crew gunning stats

ty I'm going to correct the info for the flamethrower.

If you get 42 acc or above, your accuracy becomes spread at locked and you won't aim better, also kinda minimal spread. Increasing acc above 40 is only useful for crew killer weps and doesn't help your aim much. It kinda hit the spot at acc 35-36 with about 0 spread, but there is a minimal spread. The item cannons does spread very little, but barrages does have a nice spread now.

 

[hooihoe]

Great map... I hosted this map twice on Garena but never really get to play it coz some players dun really understand how the cannon abilities work and thought is juz some BS game which have autofire and left the game ==
Btw is easy to go to east / west area of map... u juz nid to use some brains =D
And those sea giant behemoth can end the game if ur opponent is a bunch of newbies

New version!

1.09!

 

[spark_highwind]

i'll try this map a little

i got some friends that will like a new point of view about naval maps =D

 

[Tleno]

Are you going to make AI heroes? My friend from Belarus dont have internet, and its booring to play without enemies...

 

[TKF]

Are you going to make AI heroes? My friend from Belarus dont have internet, and its booring to play without enemies...

I've no idea how to make customized AI, since it's not to just move the ship, but the AI must also buy stuff, move in correct position to shoot their cannons. It's not easy to make such AI. Also they must use their abilities and Items. Also, when the empire is down, the pirate hunt must go outside mid waters. Unload crew, flop switches...

This is too much for me. I won't spend a month creating an AI.

 

[Tleno]

I understand that your map has a lot of intresting stuff and realy realisic, and AI should know what to do allways, but can you make just a dummy-AI, what knows the basics. Becauce without AI it wont be so intresting to my friend from belarus, and i'm scared that he will start playing only Dota again. Please, I tried everything, but this Is only map that was quite intresting to him... I dont want to have a friend - Dota lover ! You are my last hope, TKF...

 

[spark_highwind]

you could add some different AI

if we add a computer in the game, this could be some kind of unit that evolve with the base

every time a base makes an upgrade it receive some new weapons even if they are auto aimed will be not a problem after some time...

you did a great job making the ships go back to the base to get fixed... why make make at least a unit that is a hero... and this unit changes ship and weapon.... and to not get too imba... you could make it only use 3 weapons max... the other slots make use like pirates... graple hooks and some repair wood... it would be a great enemy in a front battle
(even if you make itens only usable by these AI players... this way you could even make pirates more deadly than they are now. raise the cooldown a little the make the weapon even to our that is not auto aimed...)

i dunno... you could just add some off those pirates simple AI + a simple waypoint + the thing that you did to boats go back to get repaired + another boat in the main lane = some more chalenge to your map. and this would not destroy your map =D

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

i loved your ideas for this map.... but... if we can't shooot when you don't hav crew... what about get stronger when you hav more crew? (i ssaw no changes when i put the iten that makes you use more crew)

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

the system is realy great... but i still believe... if want to make it a AOS/RPG you should put some more itens in the game, more quests for pirates, quests for mercant, more quest for the captain (maibe let him get out of the boat outside the base), more quest in overall.

make some random event...
like a raider swarm (some pirates show up to destroy the boats on the main lane, and they stay untill someone kills them, or takes damage with time to not get overcrowded main lanes)....
there should be a storm (damages all boats in deepwater < i know it's not easy to make maps...>)...
rebelion some boats stop to fight for their side and become pirates...
when open seas or even if not opened a RANDOM merchant ship apears to sell stuff (you may kill him and get a random drop xD)...
bounty hunt for someone that is not a player...
wind change (slowdown and speed-up)
kraken (some tentacles show up out of nowhere and takes some boats away)
mercenaries (some mercenaries were hired to fight for your kingdom... some boost for this wave)
wraith of gods (the gods are pleased or angry with someone... you know this can do anything)



i know you are making improvements in the terrain... and i agree it need some improve... remember bases got some space to grow up and you could make some others biuldings for captain..


sorry for the long post... but i like to help creators
and your map is great... but improvements and ideas are usualy welcome =D

 

[TKF]

i dunno... you could just add some off those pirates simple AI + a simple waypoint + the thing that you did to boats go back to get repaired + another boat in the main lane = some more chalenge to your map. and this would not destroy your map =D

It's not simple to make an AI. I've to sit 4 weeks to make a complete one. I don't want to waste so much time on computers when this is meant for human players only.

Also I never made AI before, so I don't know how to start...


I'm looking for an AI programmer which can make the AI for me.

i loved your ideas for this map.... but... if we can't shooot when you don't hav crew... what about get stronger when you hav more crew? (i ssaw no changes when i put the iten that makes you use more crew)

I didn't bother to make a detailed crew system when your got low/high amount of crew.

Crew affects:
Cannons (you need 10% to fire without problems)
How much you can unload
How big the chances you win a boarding
Decreases the chance for instant captain death

make some random event...
like a raider swarm (some pirates show up to destroy the boats on the main lane, and they stay untill someone kills them, or takes damage with time to not get overcrowded main lanes)....
there should be a storm (damages all boats in deepwater < i know it's not easy to make maps...>)...
rebelion some boats stop to fight for their side and become pirates...
when open seas or even if not opened a RANDOM merchant ship apears to sell stuff (you may kill him and get a random drop xD)...
bounty hunt for someone that is not a player...
wind change (slowdown and speed-up)
++++++++++

Maybe I'll add random events, but I've no wind system at all. Also tornadoes and random pirate attack would be fun. There is merchanships on the great oceans, but not randomly ones. Those merchantships go straight to the empire and can be looted by enemies. I may add more events into the feature.

i know you are making improvements in the terrain... and i agree it need some improve... remember bases got some space to grow up and you could make some others biuldings for captain..

This isn't a build game, it's an AoS game. Captains buildings is purely defense and upgrades.

I hate the terrain myself. It's still WIP...

_______________________

1.10 version released! Some annoying bugs has been removed! There is more bugs, but I forgot them when I was in the editor, and else nothing much new.... Except the naga shop that almost no one will find xD

 

[Sergeant Ray]

The provided description on the content of this map proves it is, for the most part, realistic. Am I to understand that I am to use my own skill to actually aim my attacks and defeat the enemy? That would be a nice change for once!

Also I never made AI before, so I don't know how to start...


I'm looking for an AI programmer which can make the AI for me

I also noticed your request for a skilled AI programmer. I can fill this position, do you want to learn how to write an AI script, or do you want me to do it for you?

 

[TKF]

I also noticed your request for a skilled AI programmer. I can fill this position, do you want to learn how to write an AI script, or do you want me to do it for you?

Okey, i want it fairly complex AI, since the AI must be capable to use both cannon skills (both sides) and face the correct angle at any given time. The hero ships do not have an ordinary attack and doesn't have autofire based weapons either.

AI Requirements:

• AI must be able to fight well against human opponents
• AI must be able to have a various purchase system for weapons and equipments
• No delay to fire when someone moves by the AI controlled ships right/left side
• Ship changing system for the AI
• AI range system for weapons, so the AI don't go up close with long range, also hold a good distance.
• Triggered skill selection system for standard ships when leveling
• Being able to buy tomes when having ability points, also sometimes buy a level.
• Smart items system in inventory (short range weapons on 1 side, long range on other side)
• AI must return to drydock and repair when heavily damaged
• AI must be able to position items correctly
• If AI only have cannons on 1 side, it will not use the other side
• The AI system must not interupt the ship while it's going to use an ability on it's own accord
• Movement AI and Battle AI seperated. Battle AI takes pro
• AI must NOT fire against cliffs when someone takes cover
• AI can fire against cliffs, is there is a structure near it.
• AI must face forward for ship cannon, face with left side against random enemy ship when it's going to fire left, and vice versa...

AI simple priorities:

• 1: Return for repair when heavily damaged
• 2: Autonomous ability usage without interruption - AI movement/combat system not interrupting this
• 3: Engage in battle with close proximity enemies - Combat movement system system
• 4: Generic Movement system

Some abilities, the AI is cabable to use on it's own accord. Same goes with repair wood.

The AI might come in handy when using afk AI command (-afkai) when you go afk
Also useful for a substitute AI mode (-lai), if there are leavers, those shops would go AI instead
And of course a computer controlled ship


But if you are willing to make an AI for me, all I can provide is a line of credits in the loading screen that you have designed the AI + rep from here. I know it's not much But I would be happy if you would take the challenge on making the AI.

I suggest you try the game first and get to know it's complexities first. It's not so simple AI such as in dota or BS or BT for that matter. It's more complex than that.

Agreeded. Before I get started, I will need info. Since your map is protected you will need to give me the raw code of ALL units, items, structures, abilities shops ect that you want the AI to use. You do know how to get the raw code don't you? Next i will point out that some of the material you ask for will not be possiable within an AI script, and will need to be done in the GUI triggers. I was given a message by Ash I think his name was, He made a point that I knew from the beginning It is impossiable for a full AI script on your map, this is why I tell you Things will have to be done in GUI but I think I can work around these problems w\ your help. Now the problem. If you read my introduction, I am currently working on a big project, so you will be luck if you get the script by early November. Will this be a problem?

Man, I could give a flying f*ck that you don't give me a shit load of credit as long as people know I helped, that all that matters.

I can send you a copy of the map over a email.

But it sounds like you have lot of stuff to do, so when you're done and have leftover time, PM me and i can send it.
Much updates would probable happen before september and oktober... and I also might be 100% absent at that time... So I won't send it know...


Map may still have bugs and more refined balancing is needed. Especially the ships. Also map may be expanded above wc3 limit once WEU is updated, otherwise mapsize is still only huge. It's goal is epic!

 

[Sergeant Ray]

With the amount of time it would take, and the fact that some of what you are asking is impossiable it would just be eaiser to run a GUI script. You did pretty good with that when I played. Also a script containing this much content would flood the map's memory.

Remember if you ever need an AI script, i'm here for you, dawg.

TFK i found out why the map was fatal erroring. If you attempt to drive your ship into a gate to/in the pirate area, it makes the map fatal, please fix this!

On a different note, sometimes when a pirate ship attemps to board you, all it does is stun you and the pirate ship, but your crews dont fight eachother.

Fixed! Some people got angry on me cuz it was no longer possible to be a pirate without ruining the game. I've only patched a b version to fix that.

....and not fixed!

The boarding system is entirely based on stats calculations. Since non hero ships don't have intelligence, this system won't work since the aggressor don't have any crew strength stats. However if the boarder have crew stat, the system works. I don't wanna rework the boarding system right now...

Cuz it has about 1mb imports. I only compressed it enough to make code readable. I can make it smaller, but then it's unreadable and those who wants to look at the code cannot read the gibberish.

I release an update as soon as i get the terrain back from _obliviron_

this map is good but... a huge bug makes the game bull, if a trader there is a quest were you repair a building and your done, if you build a building next to that spot you can get max gold and wood is no time,

remove that quest, other than that cool map

I appreciate your bug report, but I can't update the map until I get the map back from _Obliviron_. He hasn't been logged on for over 2 weeks and I need the map before I can update.

If I begin to update now, there will be version conflicts...
