Team RPG with lovely terrain!

[Super Mario]

Team RPG with lovely terrain! I would like to have some inspirations from you

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've uploaded the whole map as it is on the pastebin:
http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/pastebin.php?id=tubccg

I've stopped this project. You may learn out of my terrain and maybe some of my triggers. I think credits are given in the descrption of the first trigger

Sorry that i didn't finish this, but it takes too much time, you know...

Up to now the map will be uploaded 1 month. Have fun with it!

(A Team RPG with a lovely terrain!)
"The Unwritten Tale"
Project by DEFACKTwalker, alias Mario

Map Description:

You could compare this map to an instance in WoW. Some heroes will have to kill creeps and bosses in epic fights by exploring a wonderful landscape.
After choosing your hero, you have to finish a little quest to learn an special ability. Each type of hero has it's own quest.

Features:

-I'm using the great "alpha tile" from fladdermasken for water reflections. Yeah...it's a lot of work, but is looks awesome ;-) You can find the tutorial for water reflections here: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/...ials-278/using-reflections-terraining-171148/ - Thanks fladdermasken
-A very detailed terrain...
-Little quests, triggered spells...so far

Help?

I'm making maps since years and I don't really need help for terraining and simple spells. But I would like to have new ideas for terraining and some help for great triggered spells.
So, if this map seems interesting for you, and you have experience in mapping, please contact me here or on ICQ: 280333885

Edit 12-5-2010:

Terrain ideas and testing...

Image Description:
Some terraining tests. A column bridge in the sky by using fladdermasken's Alpha Tile! In my opinion very amazing (=

Edit 12-22-2010:

- Added a new screenshot. It's a new part of the castle. It's called the Magican Tower.
- There're buildings inside the castle where you have to get a training to become one of the available hero classes.
- Made some triggered spells and most of the spells are finished.
I could need someone to help me creating spells.

Edit 12-29-2010:

- Created some trash creeps. There're 3 bosses for now, partly with triggered spells for epic fights.
- Added an item system. Every hero can wear 1 armor, 1 weapon, 2 gems and 2 rechargeable things. 11 items finished yet (some with epic triggered abilities).
- Created and balanced some triggered spells. There're 29 spells yet and 6 are left to create.
The alpha version will be finished soon. So I could need some alpha testers. You'll get credits!

[Aeroblyctos]

Yea I do, but please learn not to double post.

 

[ELECTROLYTE]

The terraining looks amazing and I would like to help if there is any room for me. I can create items, triggers for item restrictions, come up with hero/terrain ideas, and help test the map.

 

[Super Mario]

Yea I do, but please learn not to double post.

sorry
glad you like it

@ ELECTROLYTE:
thanks that you respect my hard work on terraining! I would really like to accept your help, I#ll send you a message!

greets,
Mario

 

[Gath_Stormer]

If you ever need help look me up. I can do anything you need me to do. (except a few things like...idk jass...or advanced triggering)

Thank you! I've sent you a message. It's ok, 'cause i don't understand jass, too. So i can understand your triggers, if you'll make some... Sent me your email, i'll send you the map.

 

[thejimmyboy]

Eey,

I have a qeustion about the button's its not realy about your map.. but just something

I was wondering how did u make the: Terrain Screenshots "Show" (<-------BUTTON)
When u press the buton it show's screen shots and info.. How did u make that?

 

[Gath_Stormer]

I would imagine open the map in wc3 and press the print screen button on your keyboard.

 

[thejimmyboy]

What i mean is this: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/members/189970-albums3855.html
How do u make that?

 

[Oziris]

I really admire your terrain test. But you should lower those columns, they look pretty much stretched, specially the one on the right. Also, it will be hard to pull of the reflecting water, but nothing is impossible. Keep it up!

 

[Super Mario]

Hey Oziris
What do you mean with pull of the reflecting water? The water reflections look very reaistiv ingame

@ thejimmyboy:
Use this codes:
BUT USE [ AND ] for ( and )!

1. (hidden="Terrain Screenshots")

2. (color=#D0F680) Image Description: (/color)

3. An image description.

4. (IMG)http://screenshot.de.jpg(/IMG)

5. (/hidden)

So it's:

1.

Terrain Screenshots

2. Image Description:

3. An image description.

4. A SCRENSHOT

5. hide it...

greets, Mario

Love you man!! (Not gay!)
Thx ;D

 

[Oziris]

I mean it's going to be hard to make the reflection work from every camera perspective.

 

[Super Mario]

I mean it's going to be hard to make the reflection work from every camera perspective.

Man, i made my water reflections nearly perfect. I use high scaled rocks with color 0/0/0 and i put them under the ground. The dust colors the ground light grey so that is looks like water and the rocks are big enought to make the water look good at every camera perspective
I'm lucky i found that out.
Otherwise you can make a trigger that doesn't allow players to switch camera perspective. With this trigger it would be perfect.
But thanks for your post

 

[Gath_Stormer]

SO does this RP have a story.

 

[Super Mario]

So does this RP have a story.

Not yet. You told me you could make on? Didn't i send you the map? Got any ideas? Let me know please ;-)

 

[Gath_Stormer]

Well I need something to go on. The map is just a map after all. I mean all I see so far is a city and some random areas.

 

[Super Mario]

Men, I'm still working on this map and it'll be finished soon. That's the latest progress:

Edit 12-29-2010:

- Created some trash creeps. There're 3 bosses for now, partly with triggered spells for epic fights.
- Added an item system. Every hero can wear 1 armor, 1 weapon, 2 gems and 2 rechargeable things. 11 items finished yet (some with epic triggered abilities).
- Created and balanced some triggered spells. There're 29 spells yet and 6 are left to create.
The alpha version will be finished soon. So I could need some alpha testers. You'll get credits!

Please stay tuned

Greets,

[Nasin]

I would love helping you with this map, It looks very nice. Sadly, my computer is broken, and while its on repair, I cant do any mapmaking . But I'll contact you when its fixed, if you still needs help.

I can make advanced GUI and I have just started with Jass and would like something to practise on

[M0rbid]

Could you show some more screenshots of the water reflection ingame? I am very interested in how those look.
