Added support for quick-equipping to the quick-access slots.

Nice, can't argue against those two features! :thumbs_up:

Simple but a vital necessity (imo)!

Tukki · May 7, 2011

Small update!

System
- Talentscreen (aka. Specialization Interface)
  - Added borders to the tooltip(s)! (Image added below)

Still some fixes on their way (looking at the multiboard).
Work on Event Quest will resume tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

Nice looking good. keep up the good work. :thumbs_up:

acabar100 · May 8, 2011

Looks great! Hope it gets done so I can test it!
By the way how did you make this great inventory?

Adiktuz · May 8, 2011

It was an implementation/adaptation of Anachron's full-screen inventory system (and its libraries) which is on the spells section...

acabar100 · May 8, 2011

O.K. Thanks!
I think it looks awesome!

Batopi · May 8, 2011

Tukki, just wanted to point out that there is a small misspelling on the tooltip for Wolf Fang, spelled it Wolfe.

Looks really cool so far! Keep up the good work!

Dragonson · May 12, 2011

Soo... Anything new?

Yeah i am wandering too.

Wolfe · May 13, 2011

Tukki is currently going through exams, and I am currently busy sorting out school. Sorry for the lack of progress updates.

Dragonson · May 13, 2011

'tis cool.

I just handed over some art to Tukki recently and i'm both anxious to see how it looks and to work further on it. (Imma working on the UI atm.)

Tukki · May 13, 2011

I'll pick up coding in a few days (weekend perhaps) since TW2 is released on Tuesday and I've got an exam on Friday.
D's art looks pretty class so expect some updates from either Wolfe or Oz on that point

Magtheridon96 · May 13, 2011

I'm busy with exams too :/ (A week ago, I got a grade so low, that if I had just given the teacher a blank paper, I would've gotten higher)
I'll be actively updating as soon as they're done though

I have one small update for now:

- I'm close to completing the Wave System.
- I found a few bugs with the Bear AI that I'm going to fix soon

Adiktuz · May 14, 2011

And I'm not doing anything related to this right now... ^_^

EDIT: I'm doing some of the talents...

HeroSlayer · May 17, 2011

Ok I lied when I said 2 months, Im not currently working on the project because I have to study for something really important. I wont work on this for some time, Wolfe already knows. Im sorry :/

Miss_Foxy · May 17, 2011

Don't worry, as long as this is still alive, we wouldn't mind waiting

-Bloody Hound- · May 17, 2011

Coolio

this project is awesome

Oziris · May 17, 2011

Well, I managed to do some terraining in the past two days. I'm polishing and I'll make a new underground passage for a event quest.

The screenshots will come by the end of the week.
Stay tuned.

Magtheridon96 · May 18, 2011

I'm too busy with exams at the moment, but I HAVE been working on the Spawning System
a bit ^^

Aced my French Final (i left class 45 minutes early) ^^

IaMs Kirby · May 19, 2011

Ellllllo Guys

Been patiently following this project for awhile now, as it looks VERY promising, and my clan and I are eager to tackle your RPG.

I decided that I'd make an account, just curious on if you're close to a BETA stage or not?

Either way, this map is looking brilliant, and it's still active! The greatest part of all

If you're looking for testers *probably aren't, but just putting down an offer*, would love to give a hand, and my clan will be behind that!

All the best with your exams and studying guys! Cannot wait for the map!

Cheers!

Adiktuz · May 19, 2011

the testers for the closed beta have already been chosen... but for now it seems that almost all of us are on the point where Real-life stuff is taking most of our time...

ProblemSir · May 19, 2011

Why the hell does it say in your first post that the map is being produced by Everwood Entertainment, if you put it like that you imply it is an actual company working on the map despite the fact none of you 15 year olds even has the slightest clue how to make an official company >_<
map looks quite ok tho.

Also adiktuz, what kind of stuff is it you are talking about that takes so much time, school? LOOL
When i was still in high school i dont recall being busy with it for about 14 hours a day but maybe thats just me.

Adiktuz · May 19, 2011

What's wrong in naming the team, Everwood Entertainment??? we didn't even said Everwood Company or Everwood Entertainment Company...

and yeah, most of us are busy with exams and school work, and some other RL stuff...

well, Its still 2 weeks before my classes start, so I'm not busy with school work, but some rough turn of events is taking most of my time right now... not to say that I have my own map that I'm working on...

The joke's on you.

1. You're a dumbass.

2. That's because you're a dumbass.

They don't need the opinion of a lowlife who registered on a Wc3 website just to whinge and troll in their map development thread like the dumbass you are. Oh, and I almost forgot, you're a dumbass.

ProblemSir, if you want to act like you know everything then don't, because your not good at it.

Entertainment, what is entertainment actually?

1. The act of entertaining; agreeable occupation for the mind; diversion; amusement: Solving the daily crossword puzzle is an entertainment for many.

2. Something affording pleasure, diversion, or amusement, especially a performance of some kind: The highlight of the ball was an elaborate entertainment.

Now, my point is pretty much clear here.
We are a group of people making entertaining maps for Wc:3. At the moment we are working on only one, Shadows of Everwood.
So we came up with an idea one day to have our own entertainment group for making maps in Wc:3 for YOUR entertainment!

About Adiktuz, I'll repeat myself don't act smart like you know him. And my advice to you is to not judge a man and his life because you don't even know his real name for a start.

Furthermore, we are not below 15 years. None of us. We are from 16-19 years. And in fact, we are discussing about making our own company for games, but it's pretty ambitious so we are sticking to this for NOW.

Any further discussion about this, please do PM. We want to avoid off topic and flaming.
Thanks,

~Oz

Grey Nightmare · May 19, 2011

...I lol'd - and needed that. Thanks all. Made my day

(yes it was that bad!).

So when can we expect some major (or even minor) updates? I miss those massive collaborative 'news/overview' posts Wolfe made!

Dragonson · May 19, 2011

Well, if the team'l allow me i can post the raw files for the UI edit i made.
If i remember right about which of my computers they are on, that is...

I can now deduce the following:
There are 2 kinds of people in this world:
-Smart people who think before they act and understand that only through hard work and effort can one succeed.
-You

Please don't troll .. especially when you only have 1 post x)
Your first posts are part of your first impression.
You just showed us that you're nothing but a troll...

Can a moderator clean this thread? All these posts replying to ProblemSir are .. redundant. (including this one ;P)

Currently, we're all busy with exams..
You might see some major updates after school's over ^^

Furthermore, we are not below 15 years. None of us. We are from 16-19 years

... Except me.. I'm 15

@ Wolfe
One other thing. To avoid more posts about "testing", I think you should a FAQ:
FAQ
Q: Can I be a tester?
A: [highlight]NO[/code]

GhostThruster · May 21, 2011

Yeah, better delete my post before I get neg-repped ^^

"we are discussing about making our own company for games, but it's pretty ambitious so we are sticking to this for NOW."

Cool. If you ever get around to it, can you make a Halo 4?

Halo is copyrighted, so if that question had even a little hope/seriousness around it, its not possible lol. Halo Reach will be the last Halo ever made

Also, a game company, huh? I want to be the owner of a business that creates games to lol

Oziris · May 21, 2011

Lol, Halo 4. xD
We were thinking about Everwood Online, a MMORPG.

But we kind of lack modellers, coders and artists.

But enough with the off-topic!

Here are some screen shots I took while terraining.

Grey Nightmare · May 21, 2011

Dumb question really but you guys are backing all this up, right? x)

Oziris · May 21, 2011

What do you mean by "Backing all this up" ?

Dragonson · May 21, 2011

To get off the current topic of some random guy's possibly-not-so-well-thought-through comment, here's the raw file for the Everwood Ui that i've made.

According to tukki i'l have to redesign the entire UI in order for this to fit in (kinda obvious, honestly) so i might have some more stuff for you guys soon.
'jest gotta have Tukki send me the to-be-modified files.

And sorry for the big green everwood text, but as Oz said we have to make sure nobody steals the stuff.

Criticism is welcome, really. I've only heard Tukki's opinion so far.

Oziris · May 21, 2011

Awesome work. Can't wait to see it applied to the inventory itself.

TsunamiV · May 22, 2011

So, what's the % done altogether so far do you guys think?

KuWe · May 22, 2011

are you releasing a beta or demo version anytime soon? can't wait to try it

Adiktuz · May 22, 2011

the nearest release is a closed beta test...

phoenixfire · May 22, 2011

I'm getting kind of pissed about all these testing questions. It just shows that people havn't read the first page, or the thousands of comments regarding testing that are right before htis post.

Looks alright, I really daren't comment until I've seen it in game - with it being repeated tiles ^^

Very true. I havent seen any ingame screens yet, so i dont know whether a redesign is called for.

-Bloody Hound- · May 22, 2011

At this point i feel like a gipsy child in front of a candee/cake store on a christmass :/ i hope you get the metafore

P.S. my english sux i kno

Batopi · May 23, 2011

Dragonson, at first glance the borders look pretty cool and I think they would look good in game, Although I feel only the corner pieces need that little flourish to the borders.

If you align to many of those side pieces together it will look a little odd. Perhaps instead of the extra flourish on the vertical and horizontal borders just make it into the bar itself, instead of extending in out of the actual border.

Perhaps I'll make something to demonstrate if you don't get what I mean.

GhostThruster · May 23, 2011

@Dragonson: The UI looks too "future-aztecy" to me. Shouldn't it be more medieval and foresty?

Well, i think i HALFWAY get what you mean, but a demonstration might still be called for.
And if i'm right about what you mean, i think you might be right that i should change it.
But i'l have to see how it looks ingame first.

Well, i'm planning to give it a more overgrown theme once i've seen it ingame.
For, really, i cant do much 'till then.
