Man thanks for that comment but could you please use English?

 

[FRENGERS]

POOR Makroo
LoL'z GG I hope the save load system soon

 

[Razosh]

Are they really going to include a save & load system in this map? Why would anyone need a save and load system in a SPRPG?

 

[Adiktuz]

Portability maybe?

 

[sonofjay]

Maybe because they decided to release a playable but not finish version to public, so.. if you play the old version you can still play your old character if they release a new version. But isn't the code needed to be reset if you add new items and such?

 

[Adiktuz]

Yeah, one of the things that you cannot do on the default wc3 save system... if you save your game, open the map on the editor even if you didn't change a thing on the map then hit save map you won't be able to use your saved game anymore...

As for reset it depends on the structure of the code... in my "current" map in development for example, I don't have any problems with loading an older code into a newer map version which has new items...

the codes normally only need to be reset if you add things to save (like if the previous version doesn't save health and mana values and then the newer version does), because that would cause a change on the function that calls the save-load system...

example, Hypothetical codes only

call Save.Add(Items)
call Save.Add(Hero)

then I decided to add quests

call Save.Add(Items)
call Save.Add(Hero)
call Save.Add(Quests)

Here I added a new item to save by the save-load system which in effect changes the output code of the system

now if I add just add new items, etc... the calling codes will still be the same so there is no change on the output code

call Save.Add(Items)
call Save.Add(Hero)

But of course if you load a newer code to an older map, don't expect it to work perfectly (for example, if you have items that are only introduced on the new version then don't expect to have that item when you load on an older map)

 

[FRENGERS]

It because we must save it then the next version will be load, so we didn't need to restart it from begin when the latest version are played

 

[Vengeancekael]

Hey Kobey, have you dropped this? :<

 

[Remixer]

Interested about that too

 

[-Kobas-]

Not sure, I still didn't find enough devotion to continue working on this, all team members (can't say same for coders, thank you a lot Geries and Mag for everything you did...) abandoned me and I just can't work solo on this huge thing anymore...

 

[sonofjay]

Well.. that is sad, but at least you guys produced a good unfinished product, it will be awesome if you guys at least pulled a short story quests on this.

 

[Razosh]

I really hope this isn't how it's going to end but I understand that one person can't finish this huge of a project I really hope you find someone to help you out.

 

[Remixer]

Which team members you need, I am always here

[Razosh]

Well I have to agree with you there Remixer I'm very curious to see how this new terrain will end up.

 

[Deleted member 212788]

That makes 3 of us

 

[-Kobas-]

I have huge present for you guys, I'm really sorry for this big delay, I even send few pm to people asking about update that I put project on hold...

I'm doing my best not to disappoint you, honestly even I was impressed how this new shit look like, I test it many times with all kind of options and trust me it will look cool
Just few more days to edit (recreate) few quests and add new...

 

[Razosh]

That sounds incredibly awesome and especially new quests, the holy grail of RPG games.

 

[sonofjay]

I'm really excited to see this new quest. No need to advertise that its cool there and that. Because we already love this project man. I wish all the luck to you.

 

[-Kobas-]

Guys I can proudly say now that everything is 99,99% prepared for update.
I just need to wait for some English grammar FIX and that's it, mater of hours

 

[Remixer]

[Razosh]

Well you can't say he haven't earned it.

 

[FRENGERS]

HURAAY You is back
Save\Load system??
Dragon Dragon
Hopefully more content are there....

 

[Razosh]

Well who doesn't which to see a gigantic fire breathing dragon swoop down. However if my memory fairs me right I recall that the dragons where saved for end game content.

 

[FRENGERS]

The dragon is just for the cinematic, not to fight it :/ :/
well it so hard with the new camera, and it's lag :/ :/
how i can set to the normal camera??
well nice terrain now and environment @.@ Also many epic cinematic @.@

Yea i agree fun game with nice terrain but the camera is killing me you need to make it an option.

 

[-Kobas-]

You can use arrow keys to setup camera, also using ESC key you can change camera mode .

 

[FRENGERS]

Oh haha so it's must press ESC -..-
you should give massage how to change the camera too on game

 

[-Kobas-]

I recreated custom inventory, removed 50 lines of code, split lib into 2 and made some improvements, works flawlessly now, I played a little with it and wasn't able to find any bugs, I hope it won't bother you anymore.

Fixed silly pathing blocker bug

Also I finally added new items (10 for now, will add a lot more, new update will be all about new items + bug fix).

[Adiktuz]

pretty neat splitting of the libraries...

 

[FRENGERS]

Heey after i playing so long, i thing teh camera system is great @.@
I can make it better when i press ESC @.@

How about make compas??
I so confused when searching the pinged mark :/ :/

 

[Remixer]

So I played the map and really enjoyed it. Did not complete it because I did not have time for that.

But so far I can say that it seems really good. Very nice job on the new terrain and cinematics.
Few things could need fixing I think, not major but would make the gameplay better.
1. Every time I died I had to re-equip my bow to use it.
2. NPCs that you need to interact with could have some kind of highlight.
3. Every time you exit from the Inventory, Stats and Skill Tree would be good if the hero would be automatically selected.
4. Bow's range is such a short...

Also found few bugs and missteps.
1. Ring of Superiority says it gives 3 of each attribute. However it gives only 3 strenght.
2. The first Cinematic with Master Anaxes's trigger does not go off.
3. In the beginning cinematic some of the quest messages somehow starts more from the center of the screen that is supposed to and they go to a second line.

Overall nice work and keep it up. (I like the camera as it is!)

 

[-Kobas-]

Damn I can't keep secrets
Here you go, few places you will be able to explore.
House is optional quest related.
Another 2 are main quest related.

http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/pastebin.php?id=j84ir3

Crafting quests, Main Quest 2 is now finished, waiting for English grammar fix.
Quest 3 will be soon, and map will be rdy for update.

Have a nice day.

 

[Remixer]

I think that the first image is amazing!

 

[Razosh]

Wow they are all amazing especially the waterfall cave thingy I really liked.

 

[-Kobas-]

Thank you.
I added pet system again.
This time something totally unique.
Each pet will be able to level up (6 stats up to level 10 each).
You will buy upgrades in Pet Trainer Shop for some gold.
5 Different Pets (Frost Wolf, Wisp, Dragon Turtle, Wildkin and Dark Seer), each one with different stats and abilities.

Testing right now and fixing errors overlapping with other systems.
Pet can't die, instead you will need to go to Pet Trainer Shop and heal it there (something like resurrection), this cost 50 gold.

This above is 90% complied and working.

Left to do:
Link damage/stats system with Pet.
Create abilities for Pet.
You are free to suggest some as well, up to 7 abilities per pet.

Those new terrain screenshot looks really amazing, just wondering how many quest will you add on the next version?

Those new terrain screenshot looks really amazing, just wondering how many quest will you add on the next version?

Not many, each quest take 2-3 hours to make (main because of cinematic and so on).

And I have exam coming this Wednesday.
I had 2 exams last Friday and so on

I work as fast I can, but I don't sit in front of PC whole day

 

[Razosh]

Well whether or not the new version will contain new quests or not I could not be more exited about this update.
