[Role Playing Game] The Black Road

[Wareditor]

Good news ! Blizzard confirmed that they will enable icon hiding in 1.27c.
I just have to wait for it to release a new update (EDIT:the patch should come in mid January)
Hopefully it will be soon.

Pretty happy that Blizzard is listening to the community.

News; no, but activity; yes. Discord chat log from yesterday/today:

some friends and i wanted to test out the alpha for 1.40 but every time we try to play it disconnects everyone but the host 5 secs after the game starts. we're running war3 v1.28 is it only available to test solo?
Wareditor - Yesterday at 12:53 AM
you need to clean your cache first ircc - basically restart your wc3 after playing multiplayer maps (same thing as Gaea)(edited)
Musashi - Yesterday at 12:54 AM
thanks for the quick response, we'll try that
Wareditor - Yesterday at 12:54 AM
but you say 5 secs after start ?
That sounds weird. I never tested the map on 1.28 so idk if there is a new issue
Musashi - Yesterday at 1:03 AM
after a reset it works now
Wareditor - Yesterday at 1:21 AM
good :smiley: I hope you enjoy it

 

[Wareditor]

I have started working on the map again!

 

[Jumbo]

Good to hear - looks awesome. Maybe rename it though to prevent confusion and wrong expectations. For example, you could call it The Black Road - *subtitle*.

 

[Wareditor]

Yeah I am thinking about renaming it

1. I felt in love with this map.
2. I think the Ranger have a bug with the combined spell. The new spell that lasts for 15 secs does way too low dmg
3. Can you make a list of the game commands? Or a more detailed guide? Especially for the camera, I can't set it right. Its always too far or too close.

 

[Wareditor]

@Speedy
1. Thank you very much, it's very touching to read those words !
2. What's the bug ? It's that holy arrow is underpowered (that's not a bug)
3. Yes I am going to make this for the next update

Here is a wip:

@Wareditor
Nice! Can't wait for the update

- I finished the map, killed all the bosses, had some epic fun.
- No more bugs found except the ones that others wrote.

 

[Wareditor]

@Speedy
Congratulations on killing all the bosses ! Did you manage to solo all of them or you played in multiplayer ?

Here is a small gif (it looks even better in game as all the trees are animated!) :

@Wareditor

Hello

I was the one who made this website on google sites.
I enjoyed playing the black road back in the day. Now i'm on diablo3.

I'll have to download again warcraft3 to test that new map.

 

[Wareditor]

@cromartie1984
Oh hello ! Your site is awesome, thank you very much

I haven't been updating here in a while (though I post a lot more on the discord server), so here is a gif : Imgur: The most awesome images on the Internet

That is one amazing and OP spell.

 

[JesusHipster]

Damn things that you are making here are amazing!

Though I would've used more warcraftish and less detailed trees. Something between the ugly stock and unfitting phototextures.

 

[Wareditor]

@JesusHipster

What an honor to have you comment here ! I am a fan of your work <3

Trees have been a big issue for me. First I wanted to keep the sharp vanilla feel of TBR so I kept the base ones. After some time, I couldn't keep using them because they were, let's face it, pretty ugly. So now I switched to HD trees but I am still not sure if it is the right choice. At least I have a lot of diversity with them. But, I would love to try some other option. Though I would need to find a full set.

Hi, i played your map i love it,tbr will also be one of my favourite wc3 rpg3 because i love greek mythology. If possible I'd like to join your discord for map testing since invite you gave up was only instant invite and it expired D:

 

[Wareditor]

@Cro_Assassin
Hello! Glad you liked the map
A brand new update is coming out soon. I am working hard on it and lots of things have changed.
Here is a link to the discord : link. I also updated the one on the main post.
You can check out the #spoilers to see some gifs and screenshots of the new update.

 

[robizeratul]

can this be tested in single player? remember needing 2 players...

 

[facudauria]

sory i have a question, do you are doing TBR for DOTA 2 or for W3???

 

[Wareditor]

Have you even read the thread before asking this ?

Of course it's for warcraft 3.

 

[Istaryu]

I love the direction the game is going, its just sad that the development is so slow
I played the temple guardian healer, and i have a suggestion: Lower the base heal on the spell that consumes divine power, or even remove it, and make it scale harder with divine power consumed. Right now, its not worth at all to stack divine power for it to heal more, you can just spam it with 10 power to keep everyone alive, and it even costs no mana.

 

[Wareditor]

The development is slow because I work alone on this map.

Thank you for your feedback, I will look into it.

 

[Istaryu]

I supposed you work alone.
I played some more today, and I had a lvl2 skill book from quest, then i killed the wizard boss for lvl2 spellbook several times. None of us in the game could use the lvl2 book, when i used it it got transferred to my bag, or to my hero, or it dropped to the ground if the other 1 was full.
I had a lvl2 skill, and an other guy had some more lvl2 skills.

 

[Wareditor]

Yes it was reported to me. You should join the discord. Thank you for reporting it anyway

 

[Wareditor]

For those who don't follow the news on discord, here are some screenshots and a few gifs:

You can find a playable version on the discord.

Discord link : where you can find more spoilers and discuss with the community !

Hopefully the official beta version will be released soon

 

[Chaosy]

One of the better maps as far as presentation and terrain goes. Though I am not the biggest fan in terms of theme.

Looking forward to try a more polished version.

 

[Wareditor]

@Chaosy Thank you for trying out the map.
Did you try the version in the discord or the one in this thread ? The one in this thread is outdated.

 

[Chaosy]

Oh I did not try it yet, I've a bad habit of mainly playing for the story which is why I only want to play through it once.
Beta testing ruins the future fun for me which is why I said I'll play a future version that is closer to the finish line.

 

[cromartie1984]

Can't find the materials for lost beauties and natural trade quests.
Can't hand in quest for protocalia
Don't know how to do rift quest
Turtle boss is too strong.

Professions are not saved !
