[Craka_J]

Ah all right. Then yeah, hopefully I'll be ready for testing that stuff out.

[HeretoDLstuff]

Nice, the map looks great! Goodluck on it!

~Craka_J

ok cool =] looks like its me you chainer and goldpanter =)

To that guy above me
-Thanks

Oh and to kofi banan, i uploaded a new screen, its nothing really special, its a bedroom on the 2nd floor, but i am quite proud of those walls ^.^

Hopefully some balcany shots soon

 

[Craka_J]

Yet another breath-taking work of art by you, Red_Eyes. And I agree that the walls look awesome and remind me of a room in Resident Evil. I think it was one of the save rooms right? Speaking of which, will there be those little type-writters to save/load your progress at?

[Edit]:
I've started making the forum today, but I'll finish the rest of it tomorrow. I might change the skin of the forum soon as well. It's not much, for now at least, but it will serve a good purpose and I will try to fix it and moderate it as much as I can whenever I can.

Should I change the URL to something like http://s3.invisionfree.com/wc3residentevil/ or leave it the way it is?

Red, the 50% thing is mostly a guideline so we don't have every newbeginner project with 5% completion coming up and wanting to get hosted.

I think if you had a somewhat playable little bit of the map in the simplest way and a lot of things to showcase and discuss in the forum then you could get hosted.

I dont know which to do lol Oo
Nice site though craka

And rage, when i do some testing on 21st, it will be.. kinda playish, vision and pathing will only be there though, and stairs and stuff ofcourse. But no puzzles and zombies =/ not yet anyway

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

Playable, meaning that you can actually move around as you are going to in the game and can explore stuff, use some of the features and so on. So you have something to showcase for the admins when they have to decide.

 

[red_eyes]

Well so far there is the terrain, the vision system is pretty cool too, really makes the map more unique. You can explore the terrain easily.. stair triggers and stuff have been done
And chainer has done a fair bit with the shooting system.. but its not 100% done =/
What you think then?

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

If you think what you have to showcase is enough to impress people and believe that this will be finished then I think you should apply.

 

[HatoZILLA]

ragingspeedhorn is right. if you want it in and you think people will like it, put it in. if you think people wont like it, dont put it in.

 

[red_eyes]

Okay, then i think im going to wait a little while and get bit more stuff done thx

 

[Fulla]

I can do a few of the weapons for you,
Chainer said he mainly wants a shotgun, for now

 

[Craka_J]

Glad to here you like what I've gotten done with the forum so far. I'm going to work on it a little bit right now, then I'll add the new screenshots you added to this thread to the website.

Getting hosted at the Hive Workshop would certainly increase the recognition of this map. Not by a lot, but a lot compared to it being a solo project, unhosted from any big modding communities.

[Edit]:
Oh and Chainer, once you register at the forum I'll make you an admin and give you the access/password to the private section of the forum.

nice nice
why does he only want a shotgun though lol
handguns would be the most important at the moment

 

[Craka_J]

Weapon List:

• Combat Knife.
• Pistol (Glock, Deagle, etc.)
• M16.
• 12 Gauge Shotgun.
• Grenade Launcher.

Those are pretty much all of the basic weapons you'll need done really...
~Craka_J

 

[Fulla]

Got to add a magnum that makes zombies explode

 

[red_eyes]

well i think if magnum just spawns some blood effects.. would do the trick better?

Also, im not quite sure how the combat knife should work? any ideas?

 

[AlexM]

You mean distance changing?

 

[Fulla]

Just like 'Searing Arrows'.
Cast it on a unit to attack him, or activate autocast to automatically attack.

(If this is possible).

 

[Craka_J]

Melee range spell and castable only if a hostile unit is in range.

That ought to work. Make it an undroppable item.
~Craka_J

 

[red_eyes]

Wouldnt that mean you have to select the unit every time? =/ would be a bit annoying

 

[Fulla]

Yea but the idea was you can 'right click' and then targets will be sought out automatically, or 'un right click' to do it manually.

Just like Slow/Bloodlust etc.

 

[red_eyes]

Oh, well i dont think would work cause you would be doing it all the time..
Also the shooting system works as you equip a gun, then you click fire and select anywhere, and the guy will shoot that direction till you do anything, then he will stop, or if you run out of ammo

 

[Yabooer]

Do you mean if you fire and click your guy will keep shooting there? or will he just shoot once untill u fire again? Btw I haven't forgot about this forum =)
I'm liking your guy's ideas but i think another idea for the knife could be to throw it at the target and do damage a shadow strike maybe? throws it at him and then he takes initial damage and bleeds for a bit and where you throw the knife at the knife object is on the ground to pick back up.

 

[Fulla]

Yea I only meant for the knife, guns would just work how you said.

 

[Craka_J]

Guns would be a lot easier to implement IMO. Once the unit is determined as a ranged unit, melee is a hard obstacle to overcome.
~Craka_J

 

[red_eyes]

Perhaps, an ability will appear instead of the fire icon, when you equip the knife, except knife wont take an inventory slot, it will be on other abilities, and when you press it(simple hotkey would go nicely..) your guy attacks with the knife infront of him?

 

[Craka_J]

Yeah that sounds just about right. Melee damage seems to do a lot of damage as well, like braking zombie's necks, stomping their face in (If they're grasping your ancle), and stabbing it in the face ought to do the trick as well. This also leads to a question of mine: Can zombies grab you, forcing you to have to press a special key to retaliate?
~Craka_J

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

Zombies being able to grab you would be amazing!

 

[Craka_J]

Hell yeah it would! I'd also make me laugh my ass off when a new player to the game first plays Resident Evil with me and gets grabbed and has no idea how to retaliate, leading to him dying within the first three minutes of the game.
~Craka_J

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

Ofcourse some sort of text should flash when you would have to press a series of action keys. I think that would be a fun way of having a sort of minigame feature, like each time you get grabbed it is esentially a minigame and you have to react quickly pressing some certain keys to get out of the grib of the zombie.

If anyone has played the newly released version of Tomb Raider 1 they know what I am talking about!

 

[Fulla]

Have it like Dota Pudge, 'Dimember'.

Where they grab you and start 'eating' into you, with lots of blood sprays.
If you could get some decent sounds could be done very nicely.

Eating Frezny sound
Screaming Sound

 

[Craka_J]

:O I want to buy that new Tomb Raider game. The first Tomb Raider was always my #1 favorite.

Anyway, yeah it'd be a great addition to the game. Lets hope this is added ^_^
~Craka_J

 

[red_eyes]

Wow, very nice idea! and i think its possible too! =)
So, a zombie is going to attack you, when hes clsoe enough he grabs you, bites you for abit, as your stunned, then when done he gets thrown back a bit. A slight problem though, say theres more than 1 next to you, you could end up not being able to do anything cause 1 bites you, then the other..

Also i like the idea of having to press keys to fight them off, would be really cool not quite sure though, by keys.. it would end up as like, hotkeys for abilities you cant see?

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

Exactly, hotkeys. Like it displays "Press X" and you need to within the right amount of time press X to kick the zombie, then next message for a command you have to do comes and you have to do that within the time limit. That was really fun in Tomb Raider and it could be here too!

 

[red_eyes]

okay =] i like this idea, ill try it out when the zombies are made like thx, nice idea guys

 

[Craka_J]

A couple abilities to use for the zombie grabbing the player could be: Entangling Roots ; Devour? ; Shackles ; or Ensnare.
~Craka_J

 

[Gausslander]

Shackles would probably be the best, considering Scorpion is only in Mortal Combat ( : , which is pretty gay actually. Now, you could also add in some slow poison instead of grabbing the player. Maybe some poison that stops them completely?

 

[Craka_J]

Stormbolt ftw! (With shorter range)
Entangling Roots does dmg over time and immobilizes the target at the same time. Maybe that's even better? :O
~Craka_J

 

[Gausslander]

You just found that huh? Yeah I guess stun would work, but I'm pretty sure you could make that triggered easier then you could edit an ability.

 

[Fulla]

Just shackle without any chain/lightning animation, instead lots of blood spraying from the victim.

 

[HatoZILLA]

or use a ability that slows them, but edit it to stun them, such as cripple?

 

[red_eyes]

well i was thinking of shackles.. an actual stun would be bad cause you couldnt press a button to escape out like..
i been thinking maybe.. when your attacked and your being biten abit, you use hotkey of some ability, which has a % chance to not the zombie off you, so youll take less damage. ofcourse if the % dont work youll have to wait a second to use it again, so youll take more damage..
If your stunned.. you cant use an ability..

By the way im just saying, Emergenzy seems to have gone missing for quite some time now..
Anyone up for making us a door model? credits will be given ofcourse
Thanks

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

Please refrain from double posting within such a short amount of time red, thanks.

And Emergenzy does this a lot, he comes and goes every now and then, he probably checks in again in a week or so, who knows. It would be a good idea though to have another person as the regular modeler instead of EZ as he is not all that reliable.

 

[red_eyes]

Ah, sorry about that rage, didnt realise =)
And i dont suppose you know any good modellers who might be willing to help do you? i should i just post a request?

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

Posting a request might be the best way to attract the attention of a modeller. Or perhaps get ahold of Chriz. as I think he is a Resident Evil fan and took notice of this project and seemed to like it. So making something as small as this shouldn't take up that much of his time, so who knows, he might accept the request, but then again he does specificly ask people not to contact him about requests

 

[CraiGiMuS_PrimE]

eep jsut liek to say smething to the zombie grabbing

say trigger is called zombie grab

it would work if you put trigger saying if zombie grab = true ignore rest of actions. then wait - certain time. before trigger can be used again on the same person or something.

so it wouldnt keep stacking on each other

also the kicking off etc

random number between say 1-10 = 10

must use kick zombie (hotkey x) 10 times within (certain time) to kick off

something like that ^^

entangling roots sounds the best just with diff animations / sound effects as you can still cast while in entangle at least i think lol XD

what about the snake wrapping around you ? or only if u die are you gonig to use that ?

slicing through you by the green hunter guys etc etc just questions

 

[red_eyes]

Something like that...
Oh, also if your below 40% health hunters kill you instantly =)

And ill talk to chris too

 

[Craka_J]

Hunters! I totally forgot about those 100% :O
What model do you plan to use for them? A reskinned Ghoul?
