Temporary multiplayer

[kaliger]

hey i have a temporary way to get multi player, u make a map like for battle net (not a campaign mission) and u can say a comand inside the campaign to give u a code, that u can say -load in the battle net game to load that hero.i know it sounds impossible but ive seen som1 do it it was in som rpg where the max lvl is 10 but there are 8 other mpas u can lioad ur charicter on i forgot the name of the rpg

Takes more time than it'd be worth. Not to mention there's a billion different maps in Wc3 WoW, and you'd have to host a game everytime you wanted to play a different area...

 

[kaliger]

no i mean like a arena or a instance, stuff like that

oh and cracka i just realized when i read ur 'real' forums and i relized u spelled my name wrong on beta testers list its kaliger not kaligar

 

[HappyTauren]

its not going to happen anyway. we got way too much job on our hands anyway

@HT: Didn't you or Craka already say a BG for b-net was in the "maybe in the future" plans.

Why bother? No offense of course to the Wc3: WoW team, but character play isn't currently your strong point.

Not to say the game isn't neato already, because it is

Ditto
Plus we would have to come up with B-net compatible battleground code from the single player code we already have.....

oh wait
We don't have single-player battleground code!

So there really would be no point to it.
Also it would just delay the next public release of Wc3: WoW

 

[Gilles]

I did say "maybe in the future".

I don't understand the "we don't have single player battleground codes"?

 

[Saitek009]

I meant triggers

 

[Craka_J]

The plan of making an instance or BG, BNet compatible, was a fairly old idea. Now that we've discovered a possibility on making the campaign into an MMORPG, the BG's and instances will be in the campaign, along with all other zones.

We won't add a save/load code system until Multiplayer is finally introduced to Wc3:WoW (Unless we really had to for some logical reason).

umm cracka why havent u replied to any of the PMs i sent u? wit the bugs and stuff of the seemingly-old version becuse everything u said on the cgange log page wasnt in thre and the bigish problem u can walk right throw trees,rocks, and custom bridges i was a nightelf druid and i got stuck at the place wit the giant bridge cus it practicly didnt exist, i just walked under and i couldnt get to the other side so i was stuck and can u plz add 2 modles for each char so u can choose male and female plz? cus nightelf is my favarate race and they r all girls......

 

[Gilles]

Huh, never thought about the male female thing. Would be a cool idea.

 

[thisruoy]

They arent ALL girls! wat about the druids!
Any way, their mostly girls because the druids are sleeping!
I dont want any temporary fixes, i want the real thing!
why wait for a bit of the game?

 

[Craka_J]

The druid model isn't good enough though. Sure we'll use him most likely, but we need others... besides Illidan and the Demonhunter.

Night elf priest
Why don't you just create a skin for elf priest and that can be a night elf priest.
Night elf Hunter
Is just archer or the male archer someone created with night elf skin
Night elf rouge..
Someone can make a model?

 

[Gilles]

Do you think you will implement both male and female for every class and race? I wouldn't think it would be too hard. Just slim the model and a slight face skin.

And edit a few hundred more vertices, unless you want one butch chick.

 

[Craka_J]

The factor that makes this hard is mainly for the modellers. Modellers have a very hard time making female models for the following races:

• Tauren
• Undead
• Dwarves
• Trolls (kinda)
• Gnomes

All of those are stuff we lack and we need good modellers who can do them all.
~Craka_J

 

[thisruoy]

gnomes?
Their just little girls
I think there is already a female tauren model in circulation
undead? Skeleton with hair and dress from banshee
trolls just shorten the nose and teeth
dwarves are dwarves with no beard

 

[Craka_J]

Actually I have an old Female Tauren model by Nasrudin. We'll use it once he revives from the dead and gives permission. If not... then I guess we need better sources.
~Craka_J

 

[thisruoy]

Is modeling that hard?
By the way, How much polygons will the models have?
More than the average amount in war3 heroes?

 

[Craka_J]

It is hard when you have no one to make models for you.
~Craka_J

 

[thisruoy]

no ones making models?

 

[Craka_J]

Haven't seen HT on for about a week now. But I have General Frank making a couple Male Night Elf models now so it's not like there's nothing being done in the modelling field. Speaking of which, Shados is soon going to take screenshots of some of the spell effects he needs for Wc3:WoW and send them to WILLTHEALMIGHTY and JetFangInferno. So finally those two will have something to make pretty soon, again.

You probably mean Ragos ORPG. And there are already 11 maps where you can load your hero...
By the way a question to the wc3:wow team. Don't you have problems with triggers suddenly not working anymore? Because I have that problem in Ragos ORPG now. Triggers that always worked suddenly stop working.
Like a simple: "unit enters region - order unit to move to point"
I think it has to do that the game is already so overloaded with unit datas and things.
And since your project is gigantic too, you could have the same problem...?

(I thought about removing unused datas from other maps, but then I can't update them anymore by just export/inport all datas)

Happy new year to everybody! And good luck to the wc3:wow-team for their huge project

 

[Craka_J]

We've found out that vJASS is the problem. So all we had to do really was redo stuff without it. However this will cause some triggered systems such as the Talent System to be delayed, and possibly not available in the upcoming open beta.

Happy New Year to all of you as well!
