RPG TFK(The Forgotten King) Need tester.

[Miss_Foxy]

The description is quite good, I hope that your edits on the map would make it turn out great

 

[indomitable1319]

I can teach you how chanan12.

It's really easy, believe me.

 

[chanan12]

ok sweet i look forward to learning.

 

[indomitable1319]

It's on your profile now.

 

[GunSlinger]

heeeeyyy...wazzzap im back!
im almost going to put up my map here(yay),only 2 more heroes and im done.
so what i miss

 

[White-Lion]

You don't need cinematics ^^
If you know how to transfer a message from a unit that's fine
It's pretty easy.

 

[chanan12]

But i want a cinematic at the end should i spoil the end for you all? by telling what i want cinematic to be?

 

[medion555]

mhm you could tell me in a private message then i will help you making the cinematic

 

[White-Lion]

But i want a cinematic at the end

I see

should i spoil the end for you all? by telling what i want cinematic to be?

NO!

 

[chanan12]

I made many triggers, but one is not working. its the teleport system at the entrance to a cave. view the attached pictures. when ever the player hero enters the game lags SO much and the camera freezes. and the last played sound of the hero is repeated over and over. tell me if you want to test it your self.

 

[medion555]

what you have to do is copy the trigger as text and put them in trigger tags thats easier for us

 

[indomitable1319]

I could help you a lot, chanan. I don't mind seeing the end

 

[GunSlinger]

I made many triggers, but one is not working. its the teleport system at the entrance to a cave. view the attached pictures. when ever the player hero enters the game lags SO much and the camera freezes. and the last played sound of the hero is repeated over and over. tell me if you want to test it your self.

the reason for that problem is that when you enter the cane enter region the unit will teleport to the cave exit region which will activate the cave exit trigger and teleport to the cave enter which will activate the cave enter trigger and so on an so on. to solve this you need 4 regions, here is an example:
for cave enter:

• Cave Enter
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit enters Cave Enter <gen>
  • Conditions
    • ((Triggering unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • Unit - Move (Triggering unit) instantly to (Center of Cave Exit <gen>)
    • Camera - Apply Cave Exit <gen> for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) over 0.00 seconds

for cave exit:

• Cave Exit
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit enters Cave Exit1 <gen>
  • Conditions
    • ((Triggering unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • Unit - Move (Triggering unit) instantly to (Center of Cave Enter1 <gen>)
    • Camera - Apply Cave Enter <gen> for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) over 0.00 seconds

oh and you dont nid separate triggers for the cam

 

[chanan12]

Awesome , ty many times.

 

[GunSlinger]

feels gud to help

 

[chanan12]

This is going good. i think that this will turn out good. Now the work is easy. just repeat the steps i have been doing.

 

[GunSlinger]

gah, summers already finished and its back to school again

 

[Coffeeholic]

Your triggers leak. The point locations need to be removed in order to make sure your gameplay is as smooth and lagless as possible. Some types of leaks, especially sound leaks, interfere with other variables of the same kind. I highly suggest referring to this link for detailed information about leaks and how to fix them:
http://world-editor-tutorials.thehelper.net/cat_usersubmit.php?view=27219

I'm sure there are plenty of people that can help you out if you don't quite understand leaks at first, and I can help you as well if you want. Once all leaks are removed, your map should virtually be lagless (unless you spam a freakish amount of high poly units/doodads too close together).

Anyway, nice to see you making progress on the map and your editing skills I could tell you had a lot of good ideas brewing back when I tested the earlier versions.

 

[chanan12]

leaks. i see i will look into this.

 

[GunSlinger]

aaaawww, the great anachron is leaving map making, so sad

 

[chanan12]

Problem. I have no idea how to balance the final boss, because i have no idea what level the players will be when they reach it.

 

[White-Lion]

what's maximum lvl?

 

[chanan12]

max lvl is 50

 

[indomitable1319]

Then make him 50. It's the player's fault if they don't make it to 50.

 

[chanan12]

I guess so. they could try and fight him, but then loose and go train more. My map has 300 creeps that re-spawn.

 

[indomitable1319]

Good. Just make the boss kickass.

 

[White-Lion]

I agree with indomitable
Make him max lvl, 6+ players should be able to beat him i guess.

 

[chanan12]

Yes its an 8 player game, and i will make sure they know thats its a team effort game and not a solo map. They should have a full house, but seeing as thats a bit difficult i will make it beatable with 6+ like you said. But the end has a twist...muahahhaha

 

[indomitable1319]

Make it 5 players, 6 would usually lag...

 

[chanan12]

So i decided to take a break from the map. only because i got really angry when it crashed. So ill post a link to what is done so far but for a good amount of time i will be just toying around in the editor. LINK---> http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/pastebin.php?id=60ufc8

 

[takakenji]

edit: alright, i just looked at its starting zone and the terrain looks very promising. some places are very bland but you're obviously not done yet

btw, to prevent crashes always keep a backup after every save and save constantly

i suggest turning autosave on, which you can do in the "properties". you just set how long apart you want the saves to be (like 10 minutes or so) and it will save every 10 minutes

 

[chanan12]

THank you so much, i did not know there was auto save.

 

[Uncle Fester]

you should make a trigger setting the camera to the place where the hero will pop up after you pick a hero and add some trees. Also disable the fog of war on the campsite and finally add a campfire at the center of the campsite, besides that theres nothing that i can see.(nice models, names and abilities BTW)

4 the hero-spawn (coz the way he made that it reminds a bit 2 that map) he could take a look 2 the map Warchasers (this is an official Blizzard map.....it's not made on THW)

 

[GunSlinger]

[White-Lion]

It seems like you got a lot of progress done

I think you should start on a new map though

 

[GunSlinger]

[GunSlinger]

[chanan12]

[nilsmull]

Hi, my name is Emil Asp (ingame: AdaXx, blackmyin, myin or nilsmull) i started playing wc3 when i was around 10 and played for mabye 3 years with my friend, im good at most kinds of wc3 custom games, especially hero maps, after that i quit. and i have come back a year ago and started playing sometimes then and then at the weekends, noticing im not as good as back then but i still got some skills left in me i guess "hopes".

Well skipping to the real point, im 16 years old now, have a few years of wc3 custom map playing experience so i was wondering if i could join in as an Alpha-tester for your map, I'd be really glad to put down some time looking through it, and helping you making it better with tips and ideas.

I wont be on this site prblbly anytime soon, so if you want/need to contact me, E-mail me at "[email protected]" or just add me on MSN.

Ty anyways, AdaX x^ (Yes i copied this, didn't feel like typing something new, it's the same way anyway)
