Templar Arena

[Palaslayer]

where to find the screens?

 

[Anachron]

I removed the old and added the new ones, which can be found here.

 

[Palaslayer]

wow...

no rly, thats not to exciting what you show ^^

 

[Anachron]

wow...

no rly, thats not to exciting what you show ^^

Yeah, its only the new camera system and the new
weather system. If you look closely to the weather
you'll find out that it is moving, and changes the intesivity.

 

[Anachron]

New bump!
-> Remade creep system (Now have 50% hp less)
-> Balanced creeps
-> Added 1 new item
-> Added information for Void Walker

Will you release it as an open source version ?

I still think "Void Walker" smells to DOTA xD

Keep on the good job.

Open source? Never. People would actually steal things out of it.

I think about protecting it like some maps have. You can open it in WE, but Objects and
triggers cannot be shown

 

[HyperActive]

You should protect it as best as you can. Too many maps have suffered from stealing.

 

[Anachron]

Yeah, but when I optimize the code with VEX I can leave other things unchanged, because my whole map is made of systems and system handling systems.

But I have another question: Would you like to play it?

 

[Flame_Phoenix]

I think about protecting it like some maps have. You can open it in WE, but Objects and
triggers cannot be shown

Well, depends ... Since I am an adept of open source I try to make my map available. Anyway, for protection, this is the best I know of:
Wc3mapoptimizer 4.7c - Wc3campaigns

By picking all options you will have a smaller map, with loading screen (and other stuff) optimized. There is also another one, but they both do the same thing xD

I currently use that program... So nothing new here.

 

[HyperActive]

Yeah, I would like to try it out.

 

[Anachron]

Yeah, I would like to try it out.

Cool, great... The first test is announced for the first week of february.

Well actually I think it MAY delay a bit, because I totally remake the multiboard since stupid numbers are OUT, so I am going to make some insane things, you'll like it.

 

[HyperActive]

Ok.
Will you attach the map here for a public test, or will you host it at battle.net with a chosen few?

 

[Anachron]

It'll be hosted private on the Battle.net.

But when its done, I fix the bugs in test and release a test version for public.

 

[Death_bringer_2]

It'll be hosted private on the Battle.net.

But when its done, I fix the bugs in test and release a test version for public.

Who will be testing it?

 

[Anachron]

Who will be testing it?

I made a tester only group, here:
(You still can apply for it).

the reason is quite simple:
I don't want to waste players time with a bad map

UPDATE:
Added more Screens! The Hive Workshop - A Warcraft III Modding Site
Changed Multiboard (Now will Skill & Rankbar!)
Added Save/Load of Ranks
Added a few new systems (Such as the encryption engine)
Removed a few files from MPQ.

Current map size of the unprotected version: 1,3mb.

Edit: Sorry all, but the map testing has delayed.

Currently I am programming for the 14th of February, which is saturday so I hope all are able to test it.

The reason is that I relocated and the stupid internet doesn't work, because they did not activate it yet. Sorry for all. I can only say that I am getting really good with the map. Thanks all for having patience.

 

[Anachron]

UPDATE:
Fixed bugs,
Made more screenshots,
added Damage Detection engine,
redone alot.

I neeeeeeed more players

 

[Zack1996]

The map looks really good! I want to be a beta tester!!!
I really want to see what you did during this 5 months or so.

 

[~Void~]

Will you release it as an open source version ?

I still think "Void Walker" smells to DOTA xD

Keep on the good job.

The void walker was originally from Warcraft. Probably some other game or story before it.

 

[Super-Sheep]

I am currently doing some big things to the map, so I guess it will definitly blast your brain away ;D

EDIT:
I am sorry but the test on saturday will NOT work.
I am so damn sorry, it delays because of school and some reallife conflicts.
I am awaiting alls date suggestions.

 

[Hanky]

Oh that's bad, I hope you can get rid of your real life troubles and can continue your work. Btw the new UI looks nice, I wish you much luck on the further way.

Update:

Because I want the first version to be released, I wrote a
tutorial about the starting of the game.

Here is it, the Step to Step tutorial:

1. Modes
2. Aim
3. Aim Value
4. System Loading
5. Hero Chosing
6. Selecting Skills

Step 1:

A
So now after loading, the Modes appear.
The host is automaticly detected and is available to select
the units to chose the modes. CLICK ONLY ONCE. It does not
bug but it saves data written to your pc.



B

With clicking on the unit left up you can select the gametype.
Until yet I only made Hero Arena. So nothing to do here.



C

Select if you want to build your own hero or if you want to
choose an hero from the custom ones.



D

Select the options where you want to get bounty. I would like
to see this unchanged. But its up to you. Things in white are enabled.



E

Select the options where you want to get Experience. I would like
to see this unchanged. But its up to you. Things in white are enabled.



F

Select the mode of the herochosing. Stacks with the herobuilding and hero chosing. If you choose hero building at first and then allrandom, you get a
random hero with random skills.



G

Click on the start game unit to select the modes chosen. You can't get back up from there. Everything will be saved then.



Step 2:

A
Choose the aimtype. This will select when the game will finish.
Just go to the glow with the text of the aim you want to choose.



Step 3:

A
Choose now the amount of the aim, for example the value of killed heroes to win the game.




Step 4:

A
Now the game will process the modes and will load system for system. Please have patience.



Step 5:

A
(This will look diffrent whatever you choose): In my situation just use the spell chose hero on a hero unit and then you got the hero instantly.



Step 6:

A
Now you just have to select the heroskills and voila, you're ready to battle! Gl Hf all

All Steps without text:

Because I want the first version to be released, I wrote a
tutorial about the starting of the game.

I wonder if this would be a good idea for CCFE as well mmm

 

[Anachron]

I wonder if this would be a good idea for CCFE as well mmm

I think not, because its not enough to explain. Its pretty easy to understand and even that good as DotA. Even if its not that hard.

Edit: Anyother update.

New cooldown has been added:

[Nudl9]

Your working too much, really...

 

[Anachron]

Nah, most was in the holidays
Currently I am working about 1 hour / day at my arena...

 

[Anachron]

Guys I've decided to remove the standart heroes and make more of mine instead.
I am sorry for delay, but this map is worth it. A custom lightheme is coming soon, too!

 

[-Berz-]

You don't need to remove them, just make 1 or 2 custom spells on the hero ^^

 

[Palaslayer]

release a beta first or you will go sick at doing custom heroes..

 

[Anachron]

Hah, both ideas are pretty neat!

Anyway, I think I can't remove
the standart heroes. But I will
surely add more custom heroes.

 

[Zack1996]

Some normal heroes are 10x more imba than custom heroes
Normal heroes are fun, they embody the spirit of Blizzard You should keep some and just make them more triggered, but the spells should have basically the same concepts.

 

[Anachron]

I like your ideas =D They are all great I am gonna make orb system to the end this weekend.

{EDIT 1}
New Screens arrived =)
New UI made )

CD Model Changed, Experience bar changed, icons changed, done some
smaller terrain changes, remade some systems... Just enjoy!




{EDIT 2}
Bump.
I've worked again on the map.

Currently the half of the light system done.

Enjoy!!

 

[Nudl9]

I know custom lightning is sexy, but i doubt it will be good for a melee, hero arena or aos type map.
Its more fitted cinematic and minigame styled games and should be used only in caves, underground areas or closed areas.

 

[Anachron]

Thanks. Yupp, I doubt that it will not create bugs, but I try to remove them with a lightsystem which checks other lightnings. Anyway, I am glad you like it. =)

 

[Oziris]

I like the theme, because its sunken ruins, the heroes look really nice, and the terrain is enjoyable. You deserve a rep+
