OotF Arena 1.6

[sonofjay]

I simply can't change the name like that, OotF: Arena is based on a cinematic which is White Knight is a rank on the Firefly Army.

 

[neo_sluf]

Is that cinematic OOTF is made by yours?

 

[sonofjay]

Yes, i still don't want to give any details about it but Sin'Dorei already watched the early progress of it.

 

[FRENGERS]

Heey what patch is it??
I can't play the map with Patch 1.24b and even Patch 1.26 :/ :/

 

[sonofjay]

What? You should be able to play this on 1.26 not sure on 1.24 though.

Anyway 1.5 will be release soon with new items with triggered effects!

 

[FRENGERS]

LoL'z it just need to rename it to ( without space )
-..- Then it's work

 

[Vinz]

It's epic, played it sooo many times. Though there's a bug i think, it crashes my warcraft with the item ability(that shoots spikes form the ground) and sometimes on victory, sometimes on load.

The skills were awesome, but can you remove the decimal part of damage?

5/5

 

[sonofjay]

I'll try to spare some time to release version 1.5. Maybe 2-3 weeks from now.

 

[ForTiNeRo]

gonna try it out later, you got me with the video

 

[sonofjay]

I hope you'll like it

 

[ForTiNeRo]

Well.. honestly, and by far, the most impressive terrain I've ever played.

Now some quick ideas that came up to make it a bit nicer:

The leaderbord, maybe it could display some more info, like player's account name, empty or left game slots, etc.

Replace the -start command for a button, cause if you started afk for a minute or missed the text where it says about that command, you're screwed, plus it would look nicer. Then, display any useful game-text info after the player push the start button.

a couple of extra spells, and the posibility of picking the hero's spellset, like a custom-hero thing. With that you will get a lot more variability/fun with just 3-4 extra spells, maybe more if you add some passives.

Also they get stuck many times, and sometimes the -unstuck command just won't work.

That's all I can remember, hope it helps.

 

[Kenshein]

Very lovely map the terrain was amazing so 5/5

 

[Ragon.Slear]

hell what the hell
its 566 mb......
ups sorry. its only 5.66 mb

 

[sonofjay]

Version 1.5 is up!

Changelog

[System]
-Added a new system [Run/Walk]

Players can now make their 'Knight' run by double clicking at a point. Continuesly drains mana while running.

[Items]
-2 New items added

[Lightning Hammer

The holder will have the ability to conjure an orb that will move in a straight line that will strike any enemy units along the pathway dealing 2*int of the holder. Deals explosion damage once it has travel 1200 range or hits the map boundary dealing another 3*int of the holder as damage.]


[Soul Extractor

Gives its holder to extract the soul of its target. The extracted soul is connected to its owner means damaging the soul is equal to damaging its owner and gives additional 15 damage to its holder.]

-Minor item balancing

[Ghostwalker's evasion rate increased to 15 from 10.]
[Boots of Speed movement speed addition decrease to 40 from 60.]

Well its been a while since I last updated this map and its really been a while since I last touched my editor so I hope I made things right.

Anyway enjoy!

 

[Binsu]

Tested 1.5, jay! Two new item is awesome and also the abilites works but the Run/Walk doesnt work. Still, I rate this 5/5!

 

[sonofjay]

Run/Walk doesnt work.

Damn. You sure? Well there will be no change of animation when you double-click(must be fast) on a point, only the speed.

Still, nothing, bro.

 

[sonofjay]

Well this is surely a sad day. Damn it that I can't test it myself. >:C

Anyway 1.5.1 will be out to fix the problem just don't know when I can release it.

 

[HammerFist132]

Hello mate, I will have to say few things, because I dont like when someone is just asskissing and saying "cool mate 5/5 u are awzum" just to get rep back. I think to it will be much more helpful to give you real critics:
First of all terrain qualiti:
7/5, for this I have no words to say, really greatly used wow rip. I think to I have never seen so good terrain(never ever), even I think you could reduce some effects with many particles, because someone like me(who have a bit weaker pc) have it fps about 15.

Next thing:
Gameplay:
Well, you know, to say it from my heart, it was boring, I have no idea why, I guess low fps, too long decription, converted camera, and few more things that I cannot remember now.
That was version long time ago. I will test newer version. So far my rating is 4/5 and plus rep. After testing last version I will give u more detailed description. Will not rate it now.

 

[Bloody Wolf]

I gave a try to the map and sometimes i got stuck between the rocks its kinda annoying but i managed to "escape".Im stunned with your skills man but i suppose this is what i should expect from you jay XD

5/5

 

[Drunken_Jackal]

Those pillars are default models in the World Editor

 

[sonofjay]

Thanks guys. Somehow your comment guys making me feel bad for not updating this map for a long time.

@Hammerfist.

I'll keep in mind about your suggestion of reducing the effects. Actually I know a spot where 50-100 sfx are cramped together lol.

EDIT:

If you look closely around the top right(I know the camera is weird so bare with it) there is a unfinished terrain where you can't enter.. that will be the up coming 4th terrain patch! Hurray!

 

[Bloody Wolf]

Sorry about asking about the fire pillars! I never tinker with the World Editor XDDD

 

[hoangb]

i dont have character when i start the game and i dont know how to get it, can you explain for me

 

[sonofjay]

Type "-start" without the "".

 

[Vinz]

Yay you're back. Finally, fresh updates.

Did you also fixed the Dash Button bug that when you double click a location, you will like gain movespeed?

 

[sonofjay]

I checked it numerous time alone, with a friend and using the multi-instance function(where you can test map with multiple war3 open) of JNGP 2.0 and its simply working. I don't really know why it doesn't work for you.


EDIT:

This doesn't work for the AI. Their movespeed is set to max. Just saying if you're basing the speed with the ai.

Let me try playing 1.6 and I'll give some proper review. =)

 

[Binsu]

Firstly, sorry for the double post,
Okay, I was just excited to play this in LAN but when I created game, it take me off to the Game Menu. This does not happened to the older verion of your OotF. Looks like 1.6 has problems but I dont know If am the only one experiencing this.

~Review if fixed~

 

[sonofjay]

I tested the optimized version and the unoptimized version.

unoptimized = worked
optimized = does not worked.

Looks like a problem with the optimizer.

Ok re upload the map and after playing, I'll give my reveiew =)

 

[sonofjay]

Done, it should work now.

 

[Binsu]

Done, it should work now.

Our hero didnt show up when I setted the Kill requirements everyone is fighting but we dont have a hero. Quite a bug.

 

[sonofjay]

"-start"

without the ""

 

[Binsu]

Played 1.6 with my friend which I lost, he got 40 kills while me 39. Ok, here is my review for this game:

[+] Good Points:
-Has a very realistic and awesome terrain.
-Heroes have cool skills.
-Items in this game are quite useful because of the skills it can cast so your money here will not be wasted on useless items.

[-] Bad Points:
-Killing gets repetitive, make the game more livelier maybe make an arena mode for all players after some minutes or specal events that does not concentrate on killing.
-Quite few items... maybe mind adding some Potions in this game because I hate it when players got kills through luck because enemies have low health.

[] Suggestion:
-Make the game more livelier... it depends on how you will do it. Maybe make some special events thaat randomly occur.
-Add more items which I know you will add in future updates!

Overall, epic hero arena game, just needs some more unique and special events to make it more fun. I would like to rate this still 5/5 and the creator's +3 REP!

 

[sonofjay]

Thanks for the review. About your suggestions, i'll try to come up with something special and exciting. This will surely take a while though.

Might take a while but I can wait. =)

 

[Legal_Ease]

Simply stunning! This is a true work of art. 6/5
Slight bug with the camera system. Mouse roller rotates camera and then its harder to see. Obviously if you know this you won't roll the mouse. An arrow rotate camera system might work nicely with this game. Just a thought.

Seriously though this is one of the best mods I've ever seen.

 

[Binsu]

Hey, because I AM A BIG FAN OF YOUR OoTF. Maybe I can suggest an addition to your game. Ok let us start, I have been playing this map for many times with AIs and sometimes friends, maybe you can add something like of spawnable runes in the map.

For example, every 1-2 min., many runes will be spawned all around in the map that does many of the ff: Movement speed plus, attack plus, armor plus, heal, full heal, and many more... of course they have time limit those tunes that add armors, attack and such.. they are ore like temporary powerups!

Hope this suggestion will help you make your game much more fun.

 

[sonofjay]

@Legal Ease

Thank you very much for your kind words. I'm still stunned on how this simple mod received so many positive feedback. I'm really thankful.

@Hell Master

Wow, how did I miss this one. Thank you for this suggestion, I'd been brainstorming for something to add in OotF that is simple and effective. I really just want to make sure that OotF stay simple but that means brainstorming for something to add is quite hard, your suggestion fit big time. Thank you. Already added on plan-to-do for 1.7.

Lol, good thing, I have thought of this suggestions. Its really that I see this in some maps.

 

[Garfield1337]

I tried out the map with some guys, we quit because we were bored.

Terrain: Although this is a subjective matter, the terrain wasn't that great or anything. It was pretty monotone, rocks everywhere and some lava. It's okay looking but nothing spectacular, especially compared to the toll it takes on fps.

Gameplay: How's this fast paced? Units and projectiles are so slow and there isn't much to do other than getting close to your enemy and just using your spells. The only spells that take some skill would be the defend and spear, but they alone don't make the game.
The knockback on hit is weird and annoying (mostly because it disables knockbacked units), it neither looks good nor does it affect gameplay in a good way, it doesn't seem to have a purpose whatsoever.
I barely killed a disconnected player who was only autoattacking simply because casting spells wasn't even worth it.
The spells aren't polished or smooth, only some very artifical movements. They also, for some reason, deal stat based damage even though stats aren't customizable.
The map doesn't seem to have a replay value because nothing really changes from game to game. There are no tactics other than timing few of your spells, even though it's usually best to just spam them.
-unstuck command is annoying as it resets your leveled abilities (I assume you just recreate the unit) and can easily be abused. It's also bad that you've added it simply because of bad coding.

In the end, everyone has same slow hero with badly designed abilities and a few custom items with more badly designed abilities, a gameplay that can be made in an hour or two.

I'd give it 2/5 because of poor gameplay, it's as if the map was made just to be playable and nothing else.
The rating is objective and not influenced by anything other than the map itself.

 

[deepstrasz]

The downside of this is that I didn't find any regeneration spots and most awful is that there is no teamplay.
3/5.
