Requiem

[Adiktuz]

it reminded me of Lightning... haha...

 

[Nightblade]

Why isnt this given stars like SoC and RDZ's project?Star incharge,please rectify this.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Doesn't look Warcraft 3. Are those pictures photoshopped or something?

 

[Elvendan]

What the?..
I'm probably going to kill myself for thinking I'm the "Map-maker".
I'm just a foolish child before this REAL stuff.

Are you really sure, that is not a Wc3? ;D

 

[GhostThruster]

All the things he's shown are pretty doable in Wc3. It's just they are very hard to do.

 

[Adiktuz]

skins, skins and skins... could do a lot... and look at the filesize that he mentioned, a whopping approx. 200MB, that I think tells us on how HR the skins he used... and the pics he used for the fade filters...

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Ah yea, I get it. Fade filters, interface changes, color changes, font changes and Born²Modificate's model pack make it look so different from Warcaft 3. Also that woman model is taken from other game as it's so high quality.

I wonder is it even wise to have such a high quality models for Warcraft 3?

 

[GhostThruster]

I think he made it himself.

 

[Adiktuz]

that's what he wants so I think its wise... and he doesn't really need to limit the quality to have a lower file size as its an SPRPG...

 

[GhostThruster]

I don't think it's the size, but the loading time or lag generated from HQ models that matters. But, those models don't look too high poly. Maybe they just have really awesome textures lol.

 

[Adiktuz]

yeah, I really hope that it won't lag much...

 

[Aeroblyctos]

that's what he wants so I think its wise... and he doesn't really need to limit the quality to have a lower file size as its an SPRPG...

Well, file size can be whatever, but what about lag? If you combine hundreds of high quality models together and some advanced coding it can make the game lag. And if the map is like 255x255, wow.

Anyway, good luck with the project and don't give up.

 

[Adiktuz]

on my comp, it will surely lag (gaias' lag on mine...)

 

[Kithraya]

My computer have 5 years.

So:

- All models are low poly.
- A size of my textures used in map, are from 120 kb to 880 kb max. No more.
- Single fade filter take form 4 to 6 MB (!), because i use custom size of images like 1400x1200 in tga format. In blp. format, 1024x1024 pic looks very bad, like "blured".
- Map size is 196x196.
- Map loading take Wc3 only 15 seconds, like in the editor.
- The game has no lag.
Time of saving the game, it just a one flash of the screen.
- There were some fatal errors, but when I fixed valid models, everything is ok.
- The only thing I can complain about is the map saving time in the editor - about a minute, which is a bit cumbersome. So often I make and test systems on 32x32 maps and when I consider that they are fully operational, copy them to oryginal map.

Heh... woman model. Previous model was made by me with transfered WoW animations.
About new model: Clothing and body parts comes from the Fang from FF, which I downloaded from the Goblin Academy. I attached a different hair, earned gloves, removed the unnecessary details. I changed a lot in this model.
All textures are my work. So I can't say that the model is from different game. ;P Sorry.

I have an idea how to hide objects that are in another part of the map and are not visible at the place where is the player's Camera.

I changed size of the largest textures in map and weight dropped from 200 mb to 176 mb.


Btw. What do you think about dialog voices?

 

[Adiktuz]

voices would be fun... and it would just make the map more epic...

and wow, 15 secs... you used widgetizer? or you just don't have so many things loaded on map init?

 

[GhostThruster]

- A size of my textures used in map, are from 120 kb to 880 kb max. No more.

An average model (eg. Footman) should have a 50-80kb 256x256 texture. Some of the High-Res doodad textures you use could be compressed to 80% quality (saves a lot of space, but quality is barely reduced) and into smaller sizes.

- Single fade filter take form 4 to 6 MB (!), because i use custom size of images like 1400x1200 in tga format. In blp. format, 1024x1024 pic looks very bad, like "blured".

As long as you keep the quality in the conversion appropriate, .blps should not be blurred at all. If you convert those .tgas to .blps (and retain size and quality), you will get a massive reduction in map size.

Btw. What do you think about dialog voices?

Awesome.

 

[Kithraya]

First gameplay screenshots.

 

[Adiktuz]

awesome... is the portrait really static?

 

[Kithraya]

This is only a picture-model with camera placed on front of image.

 

[Vunjo]

Good game, not a map xD
Anyway, when will teh first beta version come out?

 

[Black_meoonG]

When you finish this project and Blizzard see this...they should patch the World Editor into greater Map Editor!!!

 

[DEAD FiSH]

Holy shi- MAN that looks amazing.

 

[Vunjo]

This could make the blizzard to make warcraft 4 OMG!

 

[DEAD FiSH]

This could make the blizzard to make warcraft 4 OMG!

They will never do that.

 

[Vunjo]

They will never do that.

Yeah I know but if they ever see this they WILL be shocked.

 

[neku99]

EPIC all I can say. Good luck on this great project! also. . .

THIS IS LIKE A WHOLE OTHER SIDE OF WARCRAFT THAT HAS NEVER BEEN EXPLORED UNTIL NOW. >.< just can't take the excitement out of me. You actually made warcraft look nothing like warcraft.

 

[Adiktuz]

Yeah I know but if they ever see this they WILL be shocked.

then Valve comes, and asks Goris to work for them, just like what they did to IF... haha...

 

[indomitable1319]

VALVEEEE.
I'm playing HL2 right now.

It would be awesome if this turned into a stand-alone game.

 

[Vunjo]

then Valve comes, and asks Goris to work for them, just like what they did to IF... haha...

Well if you ask me there is no such word good enough to describe epicness of this map.

 

[neku99]

Well if you ask me there is no such word good enough to describe epicness of this map.

I agree!

Ice Frog when he see's this

From Stress


Looks at Dota Bug Reports


Sees Requiem


Dies

Blizzard when they see this

From Stress


Sees Requiem


Updates World Editor (yay)


OR

Blows Up

I just have to say this map is just itching to release it's potential

 

[Adiktuz]

after the icefrog part

Valve hunts down Boris and forces him to join valve since he's the reason why they lost IF

I'm itching to play this...

 

[Kithraya]

 

[Black_meoonG]

Wow..all those texture...( I miss my Pen Tablet..I should never have sold it.. :s )

 

[Adiktuz]

Wow, is that a retextured version of the Ifrit model from Unlimited? or just a recolor on the editor?

 

[GhostThruster]

That minotaur thing is AWESOME.

 

[Alain.Mark]

facepalm w/ tears.

 

[Miss_Foxy]

I really, really am starting love your map even before playing it.
Everything seems so... Good.
Keep it up!
I'll support you with what I can do

PS: You should really have a joint partnership with Fusion Engineering, they have maps that are just like yours - Awesome.

 

[neku99]

OMG epic stuff is epic

That looks so cool just looking at it. Imagine playing it @_@ *drools*

 

[Miss_Foxy]

Oh, the lion's head icon on the Crafting Screen, isn't that some national symbol for Singapore?
Heh, just asking, it looks nice still

 

[Adiktuz]

really love that Ifrit model... and you did a nice reskin there...

 

[neku99]

He must be like an all in one package. Triggers and Code, Terrainer, 2d artist, modeler/skinner. .. the list goes on o_0

 

[Adiktuz]

*thinking If I should do the choices (on the cinematic part) too on my map*

and yeah, He's an all in one package... It won't be a suprise if some game company offers him a job...

 

[Khazmo]

This looks outstanding. It is a shame there are not more story based maps like this.

 

[Adiktuz]

This looks outstanding. It is a shame there are not more story based maps like this.

its because most people when doing RPG maps, do multiplayer RPGs, commonly known as ORPGs... and one of the main points of that is an open-ended gameplay...

and its actually harder to do story based on MP maps than on SP... especially long stories coz that could make the map go out of the map size limit...

 

[Alain.Mark]

He might be THW( The Hive Workshop) himself!!!

 

[Razosh]

He might be THW himself!!!

Maybe but I rather doubt it.

 

[Adiktuz]

He might be THW himself!!!

nope he is the combination of wc3 and all the tools for it...

 

[Sorceress]

This project is Sex'y',
glad i saw this thread! O:

How did you manage to attach the text while the cinematic-mode is activated? Fade-filter?
