You've got until the end of February.....

 

[Statharas]

I barely got weekends to work on it..

 

[HINDYhat]

i am dropping out dont ask me why simply i am dropping out but to help you guys i am ready to make 1 Doodad model for first 3 requests; if i like them

That's a shame, your project was the only one I found interesting.

Forget him - pretty much everything I've seen him post was pessimistic in some way

Hey, im starting to get a bit more optimistic as my terrain comes out. I've always been more of a boss triggerer, not an artistic designer. This contest is good to start learning other abilities.

Trust me, I'm actually working on somthing. Im just waiting to polish the first parts design before I show my WIPS.

[Crazed_seal2]

I've changed my idea again, gotta start from scratch.

 

[real138]

lol wolf dont count us others out yet silent but deadly(ninjas)

lol never did - it's just fun to generally act like you have a huge ego, with my mad skills it's hard not to have one. I don't really expect to win either, I'm just doing this for fun and love of the theme.

Sucks Bone Knight is out - I would like to see how his idea of modeling the entire level would work out (idk, maybe thats what forced him to quit, I'd imagine thats difficult to pull off)

 

[real138]

ha ya musta been hell of a difficult task if he doesnt use it maybe he could submit it for general use and ppl could cut out what they would want or need

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

lol - thats the new modelling trend. Model the whole map then submit it as a model and tell peopel to go crazy

 

[real138]

haha omg i wanna see that someone model their whole map no terraining

 

[phoenixfire]

haha omg i wanna see that someone model their whole map no terraining

Me 2 lol

 

[RED BARON]

Shame that some are already quiting, but at least better then spending lots of time one something and then being unable to finish.

New Update on my map

I really like what you project seems to be aiming at currently

 

[lolreported]

Wow looks awesome...I dislike the last one because I think that you may darken it up a little... The atmosphere of your map might be "tenebrous".

Thanks Yeah, I don't like the last picture either. It's taken from World Editor without any in-game settings. Actually the terrain looks alot better when it's alive, instead of non-moving pictures. I'm trying to create a dark and scary atmossphere with alot of darkness, First person, sounds ad such.

[X-OMG-X]

Im trying to do two things at a time

My entry for the texturing contest is going to be useful in my map for this mapping contest

 

[Boneknight]

Guys dont worry i will finish the map with time but simply i ont have enugh time to finish it for this contest becouse school is starting and will work on it only on weakends

 

[Amigurumi]

that's a shame D:
I really wanted to see your map winning the contest.
well, it's your decision, and I want that you work at it, but you must do, what
you want to do.

 

[Boneknight]

Man i just got from hospital had leg surgery and in 12 days my both hand get the treatment too thats the real reason why i delay my map

 

[RED BARON]

Now thats a neat trick - Doing two contests at the same time, while actually only doing one and some stuff you would have done otherwise. Good luck with it though

 

[VergilThazaar]

Man i just got from hospital had leg surgery and in 12 days my both hand get the treatment too thats the real reason why i delay my map

Hope you get well..

 

[RED BARON]

Holy hell, what did you do to them? Hope you get well soon.

 

[Boneknight]

i f*ucked them up anyway i will be just as normal in 40 days so you i had to delay

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

Well hope you heal at a good rate (someone call a Paladin) - it's good to see that your going to continue on your map anyways - I want to see how modeling the whole terrain turns out and if that becomes a feasible alternative for the more model oriented mappers (Not saying I'm one of them lol, just it seems like an interesting concept).

 

[X-OMG-X]

I need you guys' help. I cant decide if this is too much fog.

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

Well it's kinda difficult to see details - I would decrease the fog a bit

 

[Kingz]

Surely decrease it, it is more fog, less terrain atm

 

[Slaydon]

I might have a chance to win this, even if i wont need a good map due resigners

 

[Asomath]

Hah, I just realized somthing great! My exams are starting next friday and continue until thursday. However, 2 of my 4 classes don't have an exam, and since monday is Martin Luther King day (holiday), I'll have an extra full week off to work on this project. Yay

~Asomath

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

Martin Luther King day (holiday)

Sweet, forgot about that holiday (nice to have a mini break after returning from break).

Anyways updates on my map:
-Got pulling interaction working on a basic level, well work on it a bit more later
-More WiP's coming soon
-Worked more on integrating lore into the map (in idea, not in practice yet)

 

[Pelsen]

I'm in

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

Hmmmm - now I've reached a problem.

For my Pushing interaction I'd like to use a Hash Table to store the angle that the object has been pushed at so it can be easily referenced again later - but I'm using JNG and thus the GetHandleId function doesn't work. My movement trigger was made in vJass so I need JNG, is there any way to get the GetHandleID functions working in JNG (I may be using an outdated version, I'm not sure - its V 5d, is there a new one?)

 

[Kingz]

but I'm using JNG and thus the GetHandleId function doesn't work.

Huh?

GetHandleId(Handle) works still, what are you talking about?

EDIT:

@Slaydon
Winning a competition because some people quited would certainly be lame

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

GetHandleId

I go to GetHandleId - it says no variables of this type exist
(This is in GUI, which I'd prefer to stay in simply for simplicity, though I could use some custom script if I have to) - how do you use GetHandleId with a widget (how do you tread a widget, since there must be something different for them to keep it seperate from units and destructables (also last time I check using get handle id on a widget in GUI fails, not the functions fault just Blizz's)

 

[Kingz]

I got confused for a sec :3

Anyway:

native GetHandleId takes handle h returns integer

You can use this function on any handle obviously

 

[real138]

ya JNGP = fail at GUI hashtables. i have the same problem so i go into the normal editor work with hashtables then change back

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

You have no problems with it reading the map having a function not normally in it? Also the fact that it disables vJass triggers also isn't a huge pain in the @$$?

 

[De.Facto]

~Asomath

.. slowly but surely I'm getting interested in your project.
You won't show us something before it's nearly too late for it, mh? (;

 

[real138]

lol i dont use vjass so thats probably y i use GUI.

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

lol i dont use vjass so thats probably y i use GUI

*Gasp* but using JNG without using vJass is like buying expensive crackers to put cheap cheese on them!

(lol, nah GUI's fine, and I use it for the bulk of functions anyways, but whats the point of using JNG without learning vJass, the only other useful things I could think of would be its extended tile editer)

 

[real138]

yup i use the tiles and the maximum doodads is a must for me but i really hate that its so buggy right now like i cant test maps with it i have to save it close it open it in normal editor test it. or save it in maps folder then host it.

If your using AVG, then that may be your problem. If your virus protection uses that search and contain method, open up your virus vault and see if theres a couple files connected to JNG in there (I think its the w3hack one or something thats important) and restore them. I have to do that every time AVG sweeps my comp, but without that file it won't test.

 

[real138]

ah thats it i got avg but i cant seem to find the vault where is it?
EDIT: nvm found it i restored it but it dont work this is the message i get.
wehack.lua:437: attempt to index global 'rtc_enabled' (a nil value)

Thats what it normally says if you try to test when the files have been vaulted. Simply save and exit from JNG, then enter it again. It should work fine then

- I've been working a lot in triggering, since I'm better at that than terraining. So I've put a lot of things happening in one place without letting the player get bored seeing it. Although a problem stopped my progress. Is there a way to Create/Hide Doodads? (I'm using GUI) What I wanna do is, either create that table above the fire grate (on the right room) with certain dimensions, or even better hide an existing one. If not, mayby there is a workaround?

 

[Amigurumi]

you can't change/create/move doddads with triggers, instead, use destructables.
they can be used as almost the same, and can be affected by triggers.

 

[Asomath]

.. slowly but surely I'm getting interested in your project.

I'm just worried about showing WIPs prematurely, and I'm also worried about showing too much of my project so that it ruins the story line. I've thought of a good way around those two points... it'll just take some time. So, proabably sunday when I FINALLY show somthing after my talk.

~Asomath

 

[VergilThazaar]

I need to set the dimensions of the table uneven, that's why I'm using a doodad. And since there are no square/round table models in the hive my idea will stay incomplete.
