Vengeancekael:
Map works and the description is decent enough.
Approved, but someone else will have to write a review for this, I really don't know how to play roleplaying maps.

 

[Steel_Stallion]

Placeholder.


Please post your suggestions/bug reports.

If you're not a roleplayer, or have not played any warcraft 3 maps of a similar nature, you may be lost here. I'd appreciate it if a moderator who is at least some what familiar with these maps to inspect this one!

 

[Vengeancekael]

Oooh character customization you say, hmmm... Checking this out.

edit:

*You go through the wall, not through the doorway
*Why type '-hero' in the beginning, why not directly go to the character selection
*Some indoor carpets would be nice

Aaaaand I give up. I don't know what the hell I'm supposed to do.

Well, you should probably read one of the many disclaimers I've pasted all over the description.

-Pathing error with the doorway. I didn't know what else to use since the doorway is one model including the wall, and I based its pathing off a regular gate (it behaves the same way), it's irrelevant because it's a roleplay but if you had an idea as to what to use instead for pathing I'd be grateful!
-Becuase you're supposed to be able to repick your character through the same command, and it's quite disorienting to rush straight from the loading screen to character selection, considering the DM might want to explain a few things before people pick their characters (such as the background and story)
-I'll add indoor carpets, thank you.


Again, you probably don't know what to do because you haven't roleplayed on Warcraft 3 before! Also, I should probably add in that this isn't a single player game, and it's pretty pointless to play alone anyway.

If you're familiar with table top Dungeons and Dragons, this is what it emulates, albeit not exactly. It's suited to a Warcraft 3 environment. Thanks though!

 

[L2love]

Nice you actually made one, I look forward to playing this with other people now.

Note: Though I haven't played it yet just a suggestion ever thought about adding some pre-built stuff? Like say a town so you can get people situated right away.

 

[Steel_Stallion]

Yes, I do have plans to do just that, actually! I found it a slight nuisance to have to make mundane, "staple" locations such as your typical town and tavern.

My focus as of now was to get everything functional, so the terrain isn't completely whole yet. But there are some prebuilt areas, and the large divided section at the top will eventually be all fully built interiors and such!

 

[Bugz]

I am gonna test it

 

[Steel_Stallion]

Updated, 1.02. Fixed a heap of bugs, should be more tolerable to DM with now!

 

[Alukard-]

Cool map dude, looking forward to seeing the terrain!

 

[AerialRaid]

The arrows seem to completely disappear when using the fine elven bow, is it? The most expensive bow combined with the +20 arrows, after one shot, all arrows are gone and it states that I have no more arrows to shoot.

I wish I was in that closed group of friends

Strange, felt like I was before.

 

[Steel_Stallion]

^^ lol.

Map's now on MMH, I'll be giving it one more final update soon, fixing all the bugs and adding some more content in one go.

 

[Vlad727]

Steel Stallion,
there are some door models that you could use like
This one

I hope you will find it useful.
I luv RPG-maps, so make more and keep on improving

 

[Somebody Madman]

Great map and thing what i love most in your map is that there are drow elves!

 

[Adiktuz]

you can set the walls pathing to none then use pathing blockers to ensure that units go thru the door and not the wall...

I'll try this later... though not a fan of D&D based RPGs (I like fast action H&S RPGs... haha)...

wait, can I play this alone?

 

[Pfosten]

i havent tsted this map very intesive , i had only a 10 minute look at dming and i think this is a coll map
but if u try to send buildings away u can only send undesd bulidings away so it doenst work ...

but carry on making rpg s i love em

 

[Steel_Stallion]

Thanks for the feedback guys. I'll be updating this further but I've just started school so I'm a bit occupied.

 

[Genius]

When's the next release Steel?

 

[Steel_Stallion]

I don't know, eventually I guess. I'm waiting on 1.03 to hit MMH so I can get some proper feedback.

Cause hey, we all know if it isn't on makemehost it isn't going to get hosted nowadays.

 

[deaththekid]

KEWL!
Gonna try it now

 

[Steel_Stallion]

I'm probably not going to develop this map any further, but I did put a lot of work into it already.

If anyone wants to continue developing it, and is interested in taking over, shoot me a private message.

 

[Bugz]

It's kind of hard to continue it with this name.. :U

 

[Steel_Stallion]

Nonsense, Vuen's DnD had multiple iterations but all the subsequent editors kept his name in the title because that's what it became recognized as. I don't see what about the name makes it hard to continue, and it isn't too much to ask to want some recognition for what would mainly constitute my work.

Fact is, I know roleplay maps aren't in abundance, especially not now as many RP map developers have either moved on to greener pastures or disappeared entirely. For what I'm trying to contribute (and what I feel I've contributed already), it isn't too much to ask to keep my name on my own map.

 

[Titanhex]

True, Vuen's maintained it's popularity mainly due to Vuen's name. Infact Vuen deserved and still deserves heavy credit for both his design idea and his incredible skills as a coder for JASS/LUA.

Steel also deserves credit for his work here, and his name should be maintained for both recognition and credit.

That aside, I am considering editing this once the map goes open source public, and adding many of Vuen's powerful features to it that I worked on countlessly through the years. Mainly systems and the pointer replacing the spawner, while trying to avoid bugs. But this is not guaranteed yet, and won't be decided for a month at least.

 

[Steel_Stallion]

Hey yall.

Here's the unprotected version of Steel's DnD 1.03, as promised. The triggering is absolute shite, so enjoy rummaging through that.

 

[Titanhex]

Sorry Steel. I managed to rummage up some old code in Vuen and reinvigorate it. Thank you, though.

I figured out more efficient ways to do some of the systems in your map on my own instead of waiting for your map. Vuen's is already quite a few versions/improvements in now. It's nice, since I never planned on keeping the clunky Spawner system anyways and wasn't looking forward to changing that on Steels.

Plus, going through shite triggers just to convert them and improve them into more efficient vJASS code doesn't sound like much fun. Still, good luck to those using the triggers for reference as I know many prefer the GUI input method. I've at least spoken to mendel about how he wants to make a new RP map, which is always a good aspiration that I like to see come to fruition. I'm always willing to share code and models, though I can rarely create code for anyone while working on my own map.
(Also I don't suggest using the models in Steel's unless you know how to optimize them and fix them, especially their naming paths)

I may take a look at some of the models, as I think there's one or two I couldn't find here on Hive (Just the blood elfs/night elfs). The rest I can simply adjust the animations; and reskin with better skins too.
Do you happen to have the credits though (I hope you collected those)? I like to add to the credit command in my game. It's rarely checked, but I believe the creators appreciate those things.

 

[Steel_Stallion]

Nope, lol. modified models from all over the place

 

[BloodStorm2262]

Clearly too late now, just wanted to mention I could pass on an unprotected version of BSM RP as well. Maybe a collaboration would bring new life to Wc3 RPing?

 

[Steel_Stallion]

Is a little too late Blood, though it's nice to see you're still around. I've moved on to modding for other roleplaying communities though. A member here called Ras is currently editing this map though, so good luck to him.

 

[AwzomeWulfzz]

Damn, this roleplay map is good!

 

[Gamling]

Edit: I have found one problem, when you save you can't reload it, well at least for me. It crashes every time I load it. But I like it a lot more now! 4.8/5! Keep working!

 

[Thunderdragon101]

spawncodes

swordsmen: spawn 12 footman
villager: spawn 12 villagerman / villagerwoman
captain: spawn 12 thecaptain
^_^

 

[Gamling]

Thanks, I'll use that later.

 

[Steel_Stallion]

Hey y'all. I know this is pretty much defunct, but there are still people who host this map on MMH and roleplay in it so I just wanted to leave this here;

It seems that people have mistakenly assumed that the unprotected, development version I put out is the "most recent one", or someone re-branded it as 1.04 beta and uploaded it to MMH in place of the most recent one I made (1.03 Beta). They deleted the old version and that new, unoptimized, development version is the one that's commonly hosted.

It's bugged. It's not supposed to be hosted, it's made for anyone who wants to actually open the map file and modify/continue the project. I've contacted MakeMeHost's staff to restore 1.03 Beta and remove the development version from the map list to clear up any confusion. -info and the boundary tool are both bugged in that version, for example, but should be perfectly functional in the 1.03 Beta.


So please, once it's restored, don't remove it again and put up the bugged version!

 

[parco21]

What's the status on Steel's DnD? I really like it and I wanna see it fleshed out in more than a beta. I know this might be necro, but I wanna know if he'll ever do it a finishing justice.

I haven't really played wc3 in a long time, let alone done any map development for it. Unfortunately the supposedly unprotected version I posted here apparently doesn't open for people. I can't really do much about that because I don't have the original files anymore nor have I had them in quite some time.

You can probably recover the edited models/weapons/armors though, that's the most important bit. The rest were just triggers imported from SotDRP with a slapdash poorly made class system included. I think most people enjoy the map for the customization and so if you retrieve the assets it can be recreated quite easily.

 

[Ras]

Hi there, here i have a version that i was working on of the steel, i got several problems with the triggers of the boundaries for example.

So: i removed those triggers that give problems.

I tried to solve the problem but it didn't help, so, the map doesn't have much new, i made some builders extra, i don't remember if i solve the Damage of stats dependent spells, but it seems so.

I put the units like in sotdrp, so you don't need to spawn with the comand: spawn 12 footman.

The map here is unprotected, i used newgen WE for editing it, i tried other versions putting another race or add skills to the classes and trying things like that, but it was so buggy, i didn't had the skill to edit it properly so i started again and i just did this.

another reason: my friends stopped playing roleplaying maps, so i stop editing it

this was the last day that i edited it: https://i.gyazo.com/d0dd286faadd2ca3228530911b351c0d.png it wasn't so much so i never uploaded until now.


And last: sorry for my english, is bad lol
