Skyrim?

Elderscrolls: Skyrim Recruitment Thread

I'm in the very early stages of developing a Map based of Bethesda's Hugely successful Elderscrolls: Skyrim and I'm looking to assemble a team to bring elements of this game to WC3.

Nothing is finalised but it might be a great idea to create a strategy map where players take on various factions of Skyrim, like the Dragons, Stormcloaks, etc and battle it out in risk style epic combat. I decided against making it a RPing game as I didnt want to just try and copy Skyrim's play style into WC3, I want to do something new with it.

Terrain work has already begun, the 2 screenshots attached are there to give you an idea of the atmosphere I'm trying to capture from the game. When we have a team and more information I'll creat a Map Development thread.

Positions available:

Terrain: Marshmalo
Object editing: Available
Triggerer: Available
Modeler: Would be great if we could find one! Mainly just for model edits.

You must have MSN, yahoo messenger or some way of communication. Previous examples of maps you've worked on are a bonus but not essential.

Errr.... Skyrim?

Even when it isn't original idea, it looks nice. Keep it up! I'm busy with my own projects so can't help you, so sorry.

But i will talk about it in my forums and see what happen. I've few people addict to Skyrim. ^^

I think I'm addicted to Skyrim too lol, I know Risk style strategy maps arnt very original but I am hoping that by using the Skyrim theme and afew other interesting game feature I can make this map realy stand out.

Why so pessimistic?

TRhanks for you interest, the map is quite abit away from the stage were we would be putting in triggers but I'll keep you in mind. I think the best way of developing the map would be for me to terrain an area, then add unit/object date relevant to that area then add in triggers, so:

Area Terrained by Marshmalo (EX: Winterhold)
Map passed to object editor to design units/spells (EX: Winterhold Guard)
Map passed to trigger editor
Map passed back to terrainer

I have hit anit of a wall with this at the moment though, I realy need some more building and doodad models, most of WC3s stock models just look out of play or incompatable with the world of Skyrim. I was hoping anyone who has the PC version would be able to help with exporting and converting some Skyrim models into WC3?

It would make the map so much better if we can get some of these!

Because it's like trying to outshine the sun with a flashlight. :s

As I said in my original post I'm not trying to simply copy Skyrim into WC3, thats like someone trying to make wow in WC3 which would obvously be a waste of time. I'm putting Skyrim into a RTS gamesetting which will be a new experience for Skyrim fans.

 

[Limitless]

Ahhh, I knew eventually someone would come up with this idea, a few years back I was working on an Oblivion RTS in WC3 but totally lost interest...but this seems interesting enough.

 

[Avex]

Because it's like trying to outshine the sun with a flashlight. :s

This.

I wish you good luck, thats a massive project.

 

[Limitless]

Hmm, I can join as a triggerer/spell-maker if u want

 

[takakenji]

This.

I wish you good luck, thats a massive project.

did u actually read the thread or only the 1st 2 posts????

 

[maddeem]

Oh I'm pretty sure the name is copyrighted so you should get permission from skyrim if you are going to use that name in your project.

Anyway the project sounds promising and I hope to see this released.

loll

I could help with terraining, if I wasn't busy with "Ancient Lands I: Somarius" which is a map like TES but more, warcraft 3ish even though it does have some features like Skyrim.

skyrim is more like the moon to me, for it shines a solitary night when all else seems dark

You are speaking about something and you don't have the slightest idea about this.

Where he wrote, that he will get benefited property for his map?
He may name his map however he wants to.


As to the topic. I don't know how other people, but I wish to play real Skyrim, than fan map for WC3, that will always be worse than the original, even if it is to be enriched with other options.

 

[Limitless]

Lol so I guess this project is dead

 

[Marshmalo]

Lol so I guess this project is dead

Well, its not dead but suspended until I can get some Skyrim models imported into WC3, I don't need a massive amount but there are some doodad models that are crucial if I am to make this look as visualy impressive as the original game.
For example I need the Dragon temple Ruins doodads and afew of the buildings, then I can reduce the texture file size so its playable on Bnet.

As I said in my original post I am NOT trying to copy Skyrim, this isnt an RPG, its an RTS set in the Skyrim world for fans of the Elderscrolls backstory, the playstyle won't be anything like Skyrim. But if you'd rather play Skyrim than WC3 then thats fine, this game is 10 years old afterall.

OMG I'll get the phone to Bethesda right away!!!

Yep thats what I'm talking about and if it's against the rules then how come The Hive featured this map which completely rips off wow models.

I'm starting to think that too, there are still maps getting played but its no where near what it was like 5 years ago, alot of new maps simply dont get a look in these days, not enough players about.

I'm still making wc3 maps but only till I can save up enough to get a new comp for SC2, I might then try taking this project to SC2.

World of Ancients Desert Winds v0.19

Blizzard models are allowed, not rips from other games made by different companies. (JUST DROPPING IN TO INFORM EVERYONE ABOUT THAT )

 

[Marsal]

Well... good luck You'll need it ~.~

 

[PyroKnight]

I use to trigger in Warcraft 3 then i took an arrow in my knee.

 

[indomitable1319]

I see such promise in this game.

 

[Ciebron]

I could help you out with some triggers if you need some.

This is my the last project i worked on http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/oakwood-forest-626/

Ps. i only work in vJass

[Chaosy]
