[L2love]

We were talking about that yesterday.

It also has professional voice-acting *Flashes the diamonds around*

O-o

[thedeathunterxx]

lol

well, i think the MAIN point of creating this map, is that its not supposed to feel like WC3.... its supposed to feel like a different game...a more realistic game.

So by having everything high res itll be a good expierence to have such great things in a simple Wc3 map.

 

[L2love]

lol you need to have some epic ass bosses and if you bosses make some finishing thing pweez never seen it in wc3 before it will be epic

 

[Vercas]

I think a map should be fun or give a long role play.

High Res doodads are attracting other modders to play it and give a much better experience with the environment.

This map uses a camera system. The camera is much closer to the hero and so every model and texture looks bigger and blurrier. High Res Doodads will prevent that.

Maybe you can see me, maybe not. I'm interested in the project. I don't know if you need a second terrainer, your good your self, but if you need any work with the terrain just pm me.

 

[thedeathunterxx]

vercas hit it on the dot.

and for boss battles, we already have one underway ( thats Asomath's department =) )

we are also gonna show a trailer soon....youll see the boss for urself in the trailer.

 

[Vercas]

Oh-em-gee, a trailer!

How long is it going to take??

 

[Asomath]

Oh-em-gee, a trailer!

How long is it going to take??

As long as it takes death to get the terrain FULLY done o-o

~Asomath

 

[Vercas]

Oh...

 

[noob134]

OMG in-game shots look amazing ! However, i would like to know more about the game play,
Will there be items that can be equipped and show up on your character?
How would you use a ranger or any ranged character to attack, do you have a designated target?
Also, couldnt you use an ability to attack wouldnt it be easier via hotkeys to use attack with abilities for faster gameplay?
Terrain looks awesome but im not sure about the gameplay which i havent seen much of.

 

[thedeathunterxx]

the gameplay hasn't been decided yet much...but here is what the plan may be.

1) Attacking will be with the ESC key.... The Ranger will have a special scenario for himself, since its a ranged attacker. But basically ESC is to use a regular ass attack.

2) Spells will be on the regular spell /abiliteies slot. I am removing some basic things ( like patrol, which is rather useless ) So that you can have 8 Abiliites to use.

3) There will be items and equipment, most likly multiboard based, but most likly, the items will not change the characters appearnce ( only weopon attachments and shield attachments will be seen )

4) About the trailer : there is a deadline, so im hoping to meet my quota. Ive been working hard on it ... So i hope i can finish it in time. And the trailer is gonna be nice ( with asomath getting it together)

 

[thedeathunterxx]

lol ill be done soon man i hope

 

[Oziris]

thedeathunterxx, i was ignored so you probably did not see my post on the page 4 or 3 don't really remember, any who i offered my skills to help you will the Terrain and Object Editor, i hope you saw my terrains and i hope you know that i can do good terrains. I can make items! any items you desire will be granted
I'm still learning recipes, but it's only triggers so i will most likely manage to do it!

 

[thedeathunterxx]

yea , for some reason your posts didn't show up till now lmao

but sure ! your welcome on the team ive seen ur terraining skills, and are excellent.

two things.

1) do you have AIM ? If you dont i suggest you download it at www.Aim.com
and then create an account. Its an instant messenger that makes it easier to transfer the map between people.

2) when i get in better touch with you, im gonna give you exact details on what to do in the map, because the terrain is one of the most important part of it .=)

WELCOME TO THE TEAM OZIRIUS !

-------------------------------------

And just a note for anyone reading this, I NEEDD someone to create a costum User Interface for this RPG. It has to look RPGish. So if anyone is good at creating UI's please contact me.

 

[Oziris]

I registered there, all you need to do is tell me how to add you, and we will be doing terrain in no time!

 

[thedeathunterxx]

Nycgangsta 666

Either that or ill add you, whats your screenname ? ( SN )

 

[Oziris]

My screen name is OzirisLord
We better get on topic or we get neg rep by Rui x]

 

[TheHunterKiller]

Whoah, AWESOME screenshots.

 

[Vosty]

This looks sweet.
I want to see the demo when it comes around!

 

[Oziris]

Thedeathunterxx gave me the map and i tested it and it looks really great, the camera is amazing! very smooth indeed. What i don't like is the character selection, it isn't original at all. Try making your own terrain, would look allot more better. I'm doing the boss area and you forgot to tell me whats the boss? a beast, a bandit? don't know how to make the area if i don't know who's the boss. I looked for some scary models but they don't go with the high res ones :/

I'll give you the plan for it later today (The entire story for it). But very briefly, before I have to go, the main boss for the demo is an ice demon, manifest in the body of a Lord of Earth (There is a whole summoning quest chain). If you look at the area south of the main city, where three paths meet, the eastern most path leads to an island, where the boss fight should take place. I talked to deathhunter about making it more circular, but not unaturally circular, just to make the boss "arena" more even. I was thinking of a more ancient ruins kind of thing going on there, but whatever you decide to do, there needs to be 4 obelisks, or a form of energy pillar, near the center.

You can do what you think would look best, just note that there are no forms of long-lasting growth. So grass and such is allowed, but no huge trees.

Hope this is an ample description

~Asomath

 

[thedeathunterxx]

You dont like the character Selection ???

No one has EVER done that kind of selection as far as i know...
And its straight forward... not meant to confuse anyone.

Ohh and about the boss island, there can be trees, but very sparce, and make them pine tree #7's to give that dead effect....

 

[Asomath]

Go with what he said. I don't speak the language of the land well. In fact, I kill it. I just know the technical aspects, making it circular, and 4 energy obelisk type things near the center.

Oh, and with Oziris currently having the latest version, you'll have time to take a look at my personal request Deathhunter

~Asomath

 

[thedeathunterxx]

cool, send it over AIM

 

[Asomath]

cool, send it over AIM

You already saw it via PM XD

~Asomath

 

[noob134]

hmm how is progress on the map?

 

[thedeathunterxx]

the demo is still in production. progress is okay.

we still need a full team. We need scriptors to start desgining gameplay.

Demo Terrain is almost complete as well.

 

[screamosilence]

hmm this is gonna be a big one huh.
looking forward to testing it! good luck to ur team..
keep it up and bring it up in no time~

 

[Oziris]

Thedeathunterxx did ya finish the 3 boss islands? if you don't mind giving me the map when you finish so that i could work on the city and then show you how awesome i made it

 

[thedeathunterxx]

im in texas right now.

ill get back to u when i return to new york

 

[VampireofBlood]

one question:
Did you create these RPG models yourself, or are they from another website?

 

[Narrat0r]

That's not a mage... That's Saber from Fate/Stay Night ;-)

Looks great. Hope you finish it soon.

 

[thedeathunterxx]

lmao

yea right now, most models are from Blackstan and wat not. However we plan to find every high rez model we can that is not black stan because there is a bug with those models.

 

[Rainbow Evil]

this looks kinda a dead. I hope Im wrong...

 

[thedeathunterxx]

im just not commenting on the forum anymore. Since i dont want to get people to hyped up just incase it is dead.

But ive still been working on it. Havn't had much time but i have. Also been workin on other maps etc..

[thedeathunterxx]

But are you gonna do the city Ozirus ? BEcause i havn't finished the city yet. and it would be cool if u could do it.

Also i still have to finish the Dragon lands, other then that though, the demo will be ready for scripting....

 

[Rainbow Evil]

Will you post few new pics when done with terrain?

 

[thedeathunterxx]

Sure.

ill get to it when i get home from work =.(

 

[Walle]

i would love to join the team i can do:
Basic Models (furniture and attachments, i can still make them high resolution)
Icons
basic GUI triggers
and if needed i can do object editor stuff

i'm very active and have MUCH spare time!

 

[Vercas]

I can make knockbacks and jumps with just object editor work.

 

[thedeathunterxx]

vercas, does it work on ur computer now ?

Cause i remember the map didn't work on ur comp =(

[Oziris]

I deleted my AIM. It was lagging my computer bad. Try sending me the map by pastebin?

 

[Vercas]

Ok, I will test it again with my WEs...

 

[thedeathunterxx]

need 2 - triggerers / scripters, preferably expiereenced in GUI, but if you can use Vjass, just convert everything to VJass.

need 1 or 2 Modelers - They must be able to make highresolution units ! in desperate need of those.

1 more worker for the object editor.

me and zoirus are terrainers at the moment, and asomath is a scriptor / boss maker.

@ ozirus, Ill upload it to pastebin when i get the chance. ill inform u when i do
