TFoRP ~ A RP Map Series
Made by: Weyrling & TheOverWhelming (AKA TheCrystalBlade)

TFoRP is a Roleplay series that will soon have our official release. While we, the Masters of Procrastination, have it pretty much done, it requires testing of triggers (for crashes) and more builders.

The first public release version will probably not be out too soon, but the RP triggers are pretty much done and needed to be tested privately.

Summary

A basic Roleplay map, created to fix 'retarded' errors, obvious trigger errors and to make Roleplaying generally better. While the map is nearly done, models imported into the map are low, the only ones so far are a Dwarven Miner's set (the one in SotDRP).

Objective

• What's a RP you say? A RP (it could be considered a RPG because it is a RolePlaying Game) is a game where YOU make YOUR own storyline and have it inter-twine with other people's storyline.

Features

• No selection bug! That's right, NO selection bug. Nadda, zip, zero! Don't believe me? See if you can get into the testing.
• Editted and enhanced terrains. Including a new one made by (correct me if I'm wrong) SuXoR. This terrain will include NO cliffs!
• A set tileset because Warcraft 3 doesn't like more then 16 tiles!
• A set height, so you can't uberly glitch the game and cause the terrain to be so strange!
• Better commands! Hopefully (in the end) there wont be any crash errors or useless nulling.
• Less Lag (unless your computer is horrible)!
• Maybe Xtreme RP maps for those with better computers, these ones will be much larger in size, 480x480! How you may ask? WEU may seem useless, but the adding of tiles and the increasing of the map size is useful! Or is the increase of the maximum map size some other program provided by NewGen? Go ahead, correct me if I'm wrong.
• Every BASIC Unit (Every .mdl) has been converted into a Hero! That's right, HEROES! This adds up to a total of over 300 custom units! While their stats are still the same with HP and damage (and upgrades), you can NOW set their STR, INT, and Agi!
• Every hero has been converted into a Unit, while they still have the same names they are ridiculously overpowered. But I Text RP, So I didn't care!
• Higher Standards, period!

Team
• Weyrling (Major Triggerer, some terrain editting).
• TheOverWhelming (Object Editor, Import Manager).
No one else except a few suggestions (which may be added to credits).

Progress

Triggers: 90% Done (Need to check for crashes)
Object Editor Things: 75% Done (probably less considering Builders and spells).
Importation: 45% (Custom Units, Buildings, and other things are still needed to I can feel comfortable with a official release).
Terrain: 25% (One terrain has been done, 25% could be considered 100%).
Overall: Alpha (58.75%)

Other

• This map is not done, it took merely a total of 24 hours of 'actual' working to get this far (been working on it for about 6 months but didn't do anything for 5.9 months). Models YOU want to be imported could be imported, just remember to make sure they're models, not skins.
• Do YOU want to be involved? Want to make official votes on the terrain? My forums are always open at "http://thegaming.21.forumer.com/index.php". The official TFoRP section is under "http://thegaming.21.forumer.com/viewforum.php?f=29".
• Do not be afraid to make suggestions here, though we will think about them, there wont be a official vote and will most likely not be added.
• There will be a few models/skin that have a hidden Raw Data, but we will probably use it often and thus you may find out VIA cmdlog (if I can ever get it working correctly).
• If you want to seek me personally in Battle.net, my account is TheOverWhelming on the East Server. I hang out only in channel "Shu" (no quotes). If you want to see me, don't ask me to come to your channel as I will probably say "No".

Screenshots

Here's a few SS of SuXoR's terrain.
Edit: Anyone mind telling me how to move the Screenshots in here? Lol.

Here are some of those images in the default WC3 view.

 

[gohan43]

sounds fun, but what makes the player want to play this and what differences are there from the other rp maps?

 

[Darkenneko_003]

Ooo...
No Selection bug, Sign me up for the test. =D
It sounds great so far and I can't wait to see what else is done.
Great job so far man, and keep up the good work! =]

[~Void~]

Perhaps consider a better acronym? TFoRP is... strange.

 

[Avex]

um, flaw.

You cant get rid of selection bug its always there. To remove the selection bug you'd have to remove the spawner. Which is why DnD (like mine) has no selection bug because it is not being spawned at a moving trigger that probobly moves rapidly.

And good luck with the map, dota is already taking over Wc3 and I rarley see RPs anymore. Its bsaicly almost dead.. (no I dont like dota, I hate it, and I love RPing. hence my name).

 

[Sworddragon]

IamReaper, you are mistaken.
You CAN remove the selection bug. Why do I know this? Because Weyrling REMOVED it and I tested it thoroughly.
You know Philosopher? I filled up 1/4th the map with crap with no selection bug.
The Entire Bottom Left till the Mountains close to the Spawning Area (top left) to the Prison thing in the bottom middle.
Edit: Also, a constantly changing point does not cause the selection bug. It is the Unit Group of selected units.

And Gohan, it is different merely by there is NO selection bug.
Without a Selection Bug, RPers can make a lot more stuff without being frusterated.
And, Weyrling and myself have much higher standards then normal RPers, so we can make the best RP you can hope.

Plus, we will change the terrain to be more, changeable.

 

[gohan43]

okay cool also....

what type of imported characters should be expected? will there be special characters only unlocked by spawn code like sensai in dobrp?

cant wait to play it

 

[Avex]

Hmm, should keep that in mind.

GL with the map guys.

by the way... can you guys make it so we can change the cliff? (Dont know if thats even possibly but try please C: )

 

[Sworddragon]

Gohan43: We will try and keep nearly every hero and imported/custom model into the map, there WILL be a few secret spawns for those who truly want to use them. We already have one based off the Vortex model.

Iamthereaper: Sadly, you cannot increase cliff size or any of that inside WC3, it's impossible (sadly enough). But we will have a height command (need to test it in a minute and I will probably do a public beta test in a few minutes) that you can change the height of the area to a SET amount. We made it SET and not INCREASE or DECREASE because people have been known to increase or decrease height size to the point of screwing up the terrain.
You guys are so much more talkative then over at Wc3campaigns, not a single comment yet! Boo hoo.
BTW, just updated the first post with a few bullets in the Other section.

 

[Sabertooth]

While no cliffs are nice, PLEASE don't over-terrain your map, too much premade stuff is horrible.
Good luck though.

 

[Sworddragon]

Yeah, we know.
DoBRP7 Philo had 15000 doodads or so.
When we editted it, we removed 4k. A lot of people don't even notice the doodads we removed.
But we'll continue to try to bring yall quality maps.

 

[Avex]

probobly cause they were those flowers or mushroom no1 pays attention to.

 

[Sworddragon]

Exactly.
They were overused majorly.
We didn't even know where they put all that crap at.

 

[gohan43]

sounds like the players will have some work to do : ) people at campaigns are the more serious type

also could you provide a clickable link to the forum, im stuck using my psp until my laptops fixed lol : P

 

[Sworddragon]

Updated the first post.

 

[I)eadnerzhul]

So... are you just going to remove the selection bug and say "HEY GUYS! I MADE A NEW RP MAP! THERE'S NO SELECTION BUG, AND EVERYTHING IS A HERO!" Fine. But I don't want another SotDRP clone. What do I mean by this? I want an RP map that has it's OWN terrain, like the RARP series, LoK/PoARP, and the latter SotDRP maps (when Anarki wasn't lazy to order his lackies around). And I don't want to see Cliffs. The terrain I made for my FIRST MAP had no cliffs (except the placeholders for the bases). So there.

 

[Sworddragon]

I plan to use quality terrain, I may re-use pre-existing ones for the terrain then make them better.
But I plan to make a few terrains (which will probably such, meh) which will have no cliffs.
And I plan to have higher quality.
Just, right now I'm having problems trying to get these triggers to world with NewGen, I honostly don't understand why some of my triggers disable the map. But I'll solve it with Weyrling, eventually.

 

[I)eadnerzhul]

Any screenshots for the terrain yet?

 

[gohan43]

you are using JASS triggers right?

 

[Sabertooth]

In RP maps I prefer cliffs over raised terrain plateaus. Makes for less tilt in buildings and keeps the area (generally) flat.
Hey, I like SotDRP. D:

 

[Sworddragon]

I'll see if I can get a free screenshots of SuXoR's terrain. My Terrain I'm procrastinating at.

We're generally using GUI Triggers, they get the job done plus I don't know JASS, Weyrling does though.
We do have custom scripts involving JASS, such as SETTING Height.
The Height system (we hope) could be used so that buildings could be more flat if the Player wanted them to be.

I'll take a few SS of SuXoR's terrain right now.

Edit: Updated First Post.

 

[I)eadnerzhul]

It's pretty good! My only fuss is lack of height variation, but I guess it could be fixed with the height system.

 

[Andreja]

Will you have custom spells?

 

[Sabertooth]

Can we get screenies of those same areas, just from the default view you get when playing a map?

 

[Sworddragon]

We'll try to get custom spells in, but not tooo many.
But definetly, I'll be adding custom spells that people may want.
Sabertooth: Meh, I don't remember exactly where they were but I'll try.

My main concern as of this moment is making all the triggers work, even the ones that should work.
