Solo Mapping Competition #3

[WherewolfTherewolf]

Ahh, so its supposed to be some sort of spiritual path - from the Et tu en Arcadia thing, I'm guessing your character has died, and has woken up in the afterlife and thus must do something there - nice work with the whole floaty crystal path thing

(hmmm Im going to need to step it up a notch with my terrain lol)

 

[De.Facto]

Though Twitter is a bit much

Ok, ok.. shouldn't be a problem to leave this one. ;>

Btw, what exactly are we looking at in your WiP's lol - just looks like random colors swirling (unless this is some sort of new age thing lol)

This will be the first chapter of Arcadia.
Primary, as a free soul you have to find a cure for the meta-level. Your soul was born with a special purpose.
You'll find out more in the game, later. (;

Furthermore you must solve different tasks, riddles and avoid traps to find a 'body' for the physical dimension, there is lot of stuff to do.

The whole terrain will be completely pathable.

How he managed to create it in the time

Doesn't took that much time. It is my main-intention to create a corporate with a low cost of time and energy. :>

 

[WildField]

I think i'll try to participate. But what are those lectures going to teach in particular? Just basics or some advanced stuff?

Would be nice to know, yes.

 

[Ardnived]

She already mentioned that, multiple times I think, though I can't remember where in the 67 pages of posts.

 

[RED BARON]

Mostly her experiences of the business in connection with her work. Also some of smart things to do and so on. So it will be counted as both advanced and basic (if one knows some of it before).

Something like that.

 

[phoenixfire]

Does it have to interior or is it just an option?

Its a must.

 

[Kingz]

Heh i started coding the physic's engine and it is going great

Should be over today-tommorrow

Can't wait to test it ^^

That's not cool, now I have to redo the terrain.

I thought It was optional

Its in the theme, therefore its not optional....

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

Just make the intro segment out doors (That seems like what you have now) - It doesn't have to start indoors

 

[Pyritie]

As mentioned in the first post: "30 % of the winner shall be determined by the results of a public poll."
.. if you want to confine yourself to the edge of this forum. Feel free. (;

Technically you're allowed to do that as long as you don't bribe them or specifically ask them to vote for your map, but we really hate it when people do that as it's unfair :/

The problem is the Cliff's. In the map there is only grass cliffs.

Would a cave count as interior?

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

Would a cave count as interior?

Yes - you go into the interior of a cave right?

 

[Freyleyes]

Just making sure, don't wana redo it again.

Cave of Forgetting

I won't bribe anyone to vote for Arcadia. (;
Furthermore there's one more thing - what about the Terrain Board inside of the hive?

May i show my WiPs there?

Technically you may, but why do it when you made a website for it? No need then really.

WIP's for a contest is also usually only shown in the contest thread (thats the purpose of the thread, besides questions).

 

[Kingz]

@ Equal

The terrain looks plane.

Also the triggers should be leakless or they could result in lag as the game progress(if you pile them up).

Consider adding some fog to make it look better and maybe a change of tileset.

EDIT:

Am i allowed to discuss with someone about a system i am coding, in the terms of fixing some bugs / aplying some mathematical equations, etc?

 

[Softmints]

I'm entering this competition. Screenshots will be made available over the next week.

Isnt it against the rules to make other contestants play your map before the deadline?

 

[Pyritie]

No, playtesting is perfectly fine

 

[Catch_ya]

omg!!!!! noo i just lost my map and i cant find it :/! *bad words*

I cant create a new map. Yes i have brainstorms and whatsoever but i nearly dont have anytime and i have no triggers or terrain more. im sorry :/

oh noes, don't leave!
did you searched your wc3 file?
try to search it with your search engine and type *.wc3x

I don't want that you leave D:

 

[real138]

ya search it if youve tested it, it might be in the map downloads.

 

[Catch_ya]

i have ALOT of spells and what not but i searched and i didnt find it. But maybe i should just try to make a new map anyway.. i just have to focus abit more and dont get distracted, i also have my brainstormings.

 

[Pyritie]

Tried looking for shadow copies?

 

[Catch_ya]

what is that ? i just cant find any file with that name..

 

[Kingz]

JNGP generates sometimes copies of maps in it's backup folder.

Also maybe World Editor Test map is your map(if you tested it last).

 

[Catch_ya]

yea i got alot of maps called 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 and a,b,c,d etc..

 

[X-OMG-X]

yea i got alot of maps called 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 and a,b,c,d etc..

Then one of them might be your map

 

[Kingz]

Try opening them in JNGP, afaik JNGP generates copies whenever you save a map with JNGP so if you didn't open and saved too much maps with it it should be there.

 

[Catch_ya]

search time :O

 

[X-OMG-X]

search time :O

Search time is better than Remaking-the-whole-sh*t-time

Also, im back with a small progress report.

I've made 11/12 parts of the terrain and events.
Now i only need to do the last stage and alot bugfixing, plus making all the triggers leakless. And then if theres enought time, i will implent new systems and improve old systems. Theres always space for improvements

 

[Freyleyes]

Good luck

 

[Catch_ya]

well you right im half way through..

Good luck

ty u2 creating

 

[Amigurumi]

well you right im half way through..

lulz, good luck

 

[Pyritie]

Not what I meant by shadow copies, but sure that works too :B

 

[real138]

you coulda also looked in recently used inside the world editor. but dang i gotta get moving not enpough half done.

[Pyritie]

Thanks, mate. Did you checked out cLR, too? :>

 

[Pyritie]

Yeah I think I was one of the first to comment on your thread about it here

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

Well I haven't gotten any terrain or mapping done today, but I think I got some music that I'm going to use for the boss fight (by got, I mean I made this). I was thinking at first a bit more of a calm theme for the overall sound sphere of the game, but I think a bit of a techno sound might actually sound good to the ruins (kinda like how the techno style music of Metroid Prime 2 contrasts the desolate ruins that you explore)

My first post here...

Hello everybody! (hi doctor nick!)

I haven't really successfully introduced myself here, only having posted up some awful maps a few months ago which got rejected. This is my first true post, and I hope to learn stuff here and maybe find some help for my Campaign.

But anyway, I decided to make a map for this contest, and it seems as if I'm required to post some WIPs. So here they are...

My map is called "The Lost Grove", it uses a combination of Ashenvale/Icecrown/Sunken Ruins as a tileset, and is supposed to be all green and grimy looking. Its set in some old ruins surrounded by mysterious foliage, full of strange noises and regenerating creeps.

 

[RED BARON]

update. (;

(for the lazy ones, just click my banner or hit page 62.)

Now thats what I love to see Not to mention that it actually shows a bit more of what it is.

Looks great.

Btw: I also like that you added the text to this post

3000th post in here?!!

 

[De.Facto]

[..]it uses a combination of Ashenvale/Icecrown/Sunken Ruins as a tileset[..]

Looks interesting. One thing. Please try to get rid off these CLIFFS! ;F

[..]Btw: I also like that you added the text to this post [..]

I try to do my best. :>

Why not?

Your screenshots looks like its outdoors. Remember that the main part of the map need to be indoors.
