Craka_J · Mar 24, 2007

Really? Didn't Shadow1500 finish them or something? If not... I'll have to find someone else to do classes and abilities.

Craka_J · Mar 26, 2007

Alright, what are you guys doing so far?
HernanG, what are you terraining at the moment?

Nasrudin · Mar 27, 2007

When I talked to Hernan I got the impression he got the same idea as me: waiting to see if triggers and spells can get at least partially done or not.

Craka_J · Mar 28, 2007

Oh yeah, I forgot that he told me that too lol
Alright, well I just got our selves a new triggerer, "Storm_Surge"! Hopefully him and HappyTauren will complete alot within three or four weeks.

Storm_Surge · Mar 28, 2007

Hey.

Where can I get a copy of this map so I can have a look at the party system?

Craka_J · Mar 28, 2007

PM HappyTauren for the map. I believe he has it.

HappyTauren · Mar 30, 2007

aw crap... lost the link

and... im on 56k -.-

Craka_J · Mar 30, 2007

Well don't let your 56k make the team suffer too, just get it over with when you're done with what you're triggering and send the map to Storm_Surge, and when he's done, I believe we'll either send it to HernanG or an abilities creator. Most likely HernanG first though.

Craka_J · Mar 31, 2007

I have just issued Shados to start making abilities for the Warlock class, that way we can't say he isn't doing anything. He's creating them in another map though and when he's done making them, he'll email it to me and I'll import the abilities into the campaign from there.

Storm_Surge · Apr 2, 2007

Ok... So I'll check back here for the map?

Here's what I think. We should set up a private FTP server with all the most current maps. Each of us could make a change and then reupload the modified map.

To prevent conflicts and accidental file overwrites, each member can have a folder with their most recent updates. Since each map is only like 3mb, this shouldn't be too hard. Thoughts?

Also, why does your signature say "War3WoW- Cancelled?"

Craka_J · Apr 2, 2007

lol April fools joke; fixed it though.

I think that is a good idea. I can't set up any FTP servers at the moment because I am swamped with work and don't even know how to do it aside from that lol

Storm_Surge, I think you should set up an FTP server for us and I'll have HappyTauren send me the campaign so I can upload it.
BTW, My stuff comes in 2 weeks.

Craka_J · Apr 8, 2007

HappyTauren, was it you who told me that you could bring WoW's shading effect in our mod? If so, give it a try and if it actually works, give us some screenshots of what it looks like so we can have an idea of what WoW shaders mixed with War3:WoW would look like.

HappyTauren · Apr 8, 2007

nope. my friend abandone it X-P crap. It used to be a different engine that would use jass and triggering sstem and mdxes and blp-s..
it actually was totally diff engine. It seems to be to great work for him. Anyway, there is still calculate shadows and save map, as for terrain

Craka_J · Apr 9, 2007

We do need shadows and what's that savemap thing? Does it make a better minimap or something?

HappyTauren · Apr 9, 2007

nope, that makes it look better INGAME. test it, if you want!

Craka_J · Apr 9, 2007

I can't. Can you do it, and take and post screenshots of it here, please?

Craka_J · Apr 18, 2007

Okay Storm_Surge, how much time will it take until you've finished? April 25th is your deadline.
And to our abilities guys, I can't find any screenshots of abilities on google and I haven't played WoW much on the weekend to get the chance. But how many abilities have you each done so far? Do you need more abilities to be issued to you to make?

moyackx · Apr 19, 2007

The office stuff has delayed the abilities work. I'm working with the fireball spell.

Craka_J · Apr 20, 2007

Okay, thanks moyack.

Everyone else, please post your status(working on War3:WoW or not) and how much you've finished and have left to finish. Thanks.

Craka_J · Apr 25, 2007

Alright Storm_Surge, tomorrow is your due date. But if you desperately need a couple more days to work on triggers, then let us know. We cannot terrain the campaign until you are finished triggering, so get a move on!

BTW guys, I'm getting my PC on the weekend, but not sure if it's going to where I live or in storage.

Storm_Surge · Apr 26, 2007

I don't want to sound like a liar who's trying to avoid missing the deadline, but I still have no copy of the map... I PMed HappyTauren, like you said, but I never got a reply.

I think we should seriously consider some sort of FTP server we can all use. Or better yet! There's a plugin for Firefox that allows you to use GMail for file storage. I can hook us up with an account we can use nad a link to the plugin, if you think that's a good idea.

Craka_J · Apr 27, 2007

thanks for the ftp server.

Guess we're falling Wayyyyyy behind. You should've told us that he did not send you the map. I'll check MSN and see wtf is going on.

Craka_J · Apr 29, 2007

Once again, the delivery of my computer has been postponed... therefore, I will install WC3 on my dad's laptop and I can terrain WC3:WoW whenever it is emailed to me.

Craka_J · May 2, 2007

Problem finding/dling WoW icons? Go here and it should be at the bottom of the list.

Storm_Surge · May 2, 2007

Ok, just tell me when we've got a copy of the map.

I'll probably get the message faster if you PM me in GS.

shadow1500 · May 3, 2007

Hm, this project still active?

Craka_J · May 3, 2007

Yes. Just waiting for HAPPYTAUREN to email Storm_Surge the map so we can continue terraining when he is done.

{EDIT}
He's on vacation >.<

Storm_Surge · May 4, 2007

Can you give me a list of stuff to trigger in approximate order of priority?

Craka_J · May 5, 2007

Here are the things to trigger/fix:
1)fix up party system and give a text command that can kick a party member out of your group, "/kickp1" (party member 1) or "/kickp2", etc.
2)If HappyTauren has not already started Flight Paths, I'd like it if you start making them.
3)Create professions that WORK, such as Blacksmithing, Tailoring, Cooking, Herbalism, etc.
4)Make abilities purchaseable at Class Trainer, but abilities require certain levels to train for them. It also costs money to train.
5)Make an option available that can convert a party into a raid, holding up to 10 party members.(not 40 because this mod isn't ready for that kind of massive raid yet

6)Make the NPC Heroes communicate with eachother and respond to you in text.
7)Make quests, quests that resemble WoW's quests.
8)Make commands and emotes (if Nasrudin ever added them) such as /sit, /sleep, /lol, /spit, etc...
9)If HappyTauren still has not added the mailbox system, please make it. Enabling you as a player to mail items or gold to your saved characters.
10)If not already fixed, make people who create Orcs and Trolls start at Durotar Starting place (Valley of Trials I think it's called), Tauren start in Mulgore, Undead I suppose can start in Orc area for now, and all alliance characters can start in Teldrassil.

Craka_J · May 6, 2007

Just checking, but Storm_Surge, I told HernanG to email you the map since HappyTauren is pretty much dead. He sent it to the email address you use at GS. Once you get it, please work ASAP on it and try to finish the assigned triggers quickly. ty

operator · May 6, 2007

HappyTauren has had som trouble with his 56k

I am a member of the team, and am still waiting for commands...

Storm_Surge · May 6, 2007

I didn't get the email. It's [email protected]

I hope it wasn't marked as spam...

Craka_J · May 6, 2007

Yeah he sent it to that one I believe. I'll tell him to resend it when I see him on.

Craka_J · May 7, 2007

HernanG is emailing you guys (Shados and Storm_Surge) the campaign. So don't delete all of your bulk mail instantly!

Craka_J · May 12, 2007

Did any of you guys get the map yet? It's been a week...

If not, then you gotta let us know! Otherwise this project is going to die... again.

Storm_Surge · May 14, 2007

Eep!

Great news everyone! One of the triggerers/spell triggerers from DoTA have agreed to join the War3:WoW Team and help with the GUI. I'm not sure if she has confirmed herself to join, but she contacted me and said she wishes to join and help, and with someone who took part in making WC3's top rated map, I say we take her in.

operator · May 21, 2007

I joined the project like 5 months ago...Still waiting for commands

Craka_J · May 21, 2007

Oh, thought you decided to not work after you joined like the hundreds of other people haha, well since you applied for abilities and triggers, perhaps you can start making abilities for a Hunter and/or Priest. I'll assign systems to you later after you've completed the abilities.

Craka_J · Jun 22, 2007

Well now that you all, except the triggerers, have been assigned some objectives, I'd like you all to work on them as much as you can and efficiently. Try to get stuff done quickly. As for me, I've been terraining the campaign now. I have started to work on Orgrimmar again and so far, it is about 40% complete. It will definately be atleast 90% complete by Sunday.

After I've finished Orgrimmar, I'll work on Southern Durotar, up to Northern Durotar. Once Durotar is 100% finished, I'll finish up Echo Isles, then terrain The Barrens. After The Barrens is completed, I plan to start working on either Tirisfal Glades or Ashenvale. (depends if tileset and models needed are done by the time I get up to it)

I'll keep you guys up to date with what is going on more often, that way we all know what is going on and what to do.

WILLTHEALMIGHTY, try to finish the Warlock spells faster, Shados will need them very shortly.

Operator: Still waiting on a reply about what class you want to do spells for.

Craka_J · Jun 22, 2007

By the way guys, we're still hosted at The Hubb. Here is the link to another one of our forums lol, this is way back when Beantony was around...

Craka_J · Jun 22, 2007

Great news guys! There is a program being made called "WarSoc" by MindWorX and with this program he is making, we can make Wc3:WoW a MULTIPLAYER CAMPAIGN. The only down side is that we may need to get a dedicated server for massive amounts of players. But since I doubt that alot of people will play this at a time, we'll be able to have about 50 players in just this one campaign. The great thing about this is that lets say 50 people are playing Wc3:WoW... the server is full. You may be thinking "OMG! 50 people in one campaign map!?!?" Well here comes the best part: Players can play the same campaign on the same server yet be in different maps. How cool is that?! Do you guys know what this means? If this program works and is successful, we can be the first to create the first Warcraft III MMORPG! Would we get banned from Bnet? Another great thing is that this program runs on special servers off of Bnet and off LAN so that it is impossible for Blizzard Entertainment to really do anything. What do you guys think?

I think we should implement this in once we get Wc3:WoW completed. Feedback NEEDED people.
-Craka_J

Craka_J · Jul 30, 2007

Just letting you guys know what's going on real quick, Wednesday I leave for two weeks to visit NY, USA. Once I'm back I'll be back in action. Saitek is currently doing a bunch of triggers for Wc3:WoW and will continue to work on Wc3:WoW while I am gone.

About the Terrain:
-Orgrimmar is about 60% done. Maybe more.

-Thunder Bluff still needs work, but it shouldn't take any longer than a day or two. It'll be completed real fast and corrected to look more accurate like the Thunder Bluff in WoW.

-I started working on Elwyn Forest. It's going to be one big map. Possibly two. So far I'm working on Northshire Abbey area and Goldshire. Working my way down. Not even 10% done with it yet IMO.

-Ragefire Chasm is finally being worked on. I have the layout of it but still need to add pathing to the walls. Still need to make elite units and decorate it before it is complete. Will there be quests for RFC before the open beta release? I honestly hope so...

-I fixed up the tiles of Central Durotar and worked on Valley of Trials a tiny bit. Nothing too major though.

-Did nothing to Darnassus yet. But god does it need to be finished badly!

-Haven't started on Tirisfal Glades or Undercity yet. Still waiting for THE_END to finish the tileset for them... been about a month or so now of waiting for him. HURRY UP THE_END!!!!

-I think I did something with Thousand Needles. If not, then it doesn't really matter anyway. Haven't even started Southern Barrens yet.

-I don't want to start Stormwind until HappyTauren has finished making doodads for Elwyn Forest and buildings for Stormwind. May need a new tileset for Stormwind HappyTauren!

-Did nothing to Mulgore. And as 'finished' as it may look, it still needs work. Hills need to be more accurately made and cliffs need to be taller. I'll get to work on it after Thunder Bluff is completed though.

And that just about covers it...

THE_END · Jul 30, 2007

Ok Cracka I have a ..conundrum if you will for you
I have access to the tiles in WoW
May I use a slight CnP of those to create said tiles?
And what tiles should I make?
2 differant grass types, dirt, and then for nonbuildable tiles make those the Undercity tiles?

Craka_J · Jul 30, 2007

Well we can't use WoW exports because it's illegal, but modifying it shouldn't hurt. However, if the filesize is gonna be like 500kb then screw it and just create tiles from scratch. I want two grass tiles, one or two dirt, and then two unbuildables (stoney path for Tirisfal Glades and Undercity floor)
Make it over-write Icecrown Glaciers. Northrend will probably be for Iron Forge and Dun Morogh.

HappyTauren · Jul 31, 2007

THE_END thats exactly what i did awhile ago, and it can easily be done, and can TILE 100% perfectly. BUT it wouldnt be really moral

Craka_J · Jul 31, 2007

WoW tiles are alot bigger than Wc3 tiles. Wc3 tiles are about 256x256, while WoW's is... I'm not really sure but I know it's alot bigger; not to mention the filesize of WoW tiles are alot bigger as well. Some are almost a meg per tile!

THE_END · Jul 31, 2007

I would just have to do some easy resizing really
No one would be the wiser

Craka_J · Jul 31, 2007

Don't forget that since the resolution of the skins and tiles from WoW are big, that it will look very uneven and odd in Wc3. Unless of course if you resized them and fixed them up a bit. As long as the filesize of the tile is lower than 280kb I'm OK with you using them.
