The Power of Fire: Talras 1.1

This bundle is marked as useful / simple. Simplicity is bliss, low effort and/or may contain minor bugs.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Discord Server !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Warcraft III: Reforged multiplayer funmap influenced by games like Diablo II and Gothic II combining hack and slay with dialog based decisions. This is a 6 player map in which you play together against the AI completing quests, leveling, buying items, looting stuff and end the game with a big final battle. It contains cutscenes, voice acted dialogues and all basic RPG elements and systems. It tries to capture a darker look like Gothic II and Diablo II and several elements of those games. The lore has been written for this modification and Talras is the castle which you enter in the beginning.

HINT: This is one of my first bigger projects which started as a complete modification of Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne and provided a multiplayer version of this map as well as a singleplayer campaign. However, most of the other maps of the campaign were either small or unfinished and Reforged changed how modifications work. Hence, I have decided to release the biggest and most complete map of the modification as standalone multiplayer map. This release is an attempt to make it fully work in Reforged multiplayer. Please report as many issues as possible. I want to document all issues here and try to fix them all. Save the map as often as possible with different savegames if the map breaks completely at some point.

This is the GitHub repository of the project: tdauth/tpof-talras

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ADD WORKING DIALOGUE SOUND FILES SEPARATELY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You have to download and install the German voice sound files locally to fix the dialogue lengths and to get some sound during the dialogues and video sequences. Follow these instructions to do this!

  • 8 custom classes with different custom spells.
  • Cutscenes.
  • Great voice acting from German people (HoerTalk.de).
  • Dialogues with NPCs.
  • 5 Professions which allow crafting items using materials from the map.
  • Custom bases per player at hero level 30.
  • NPC routines.
  • NPC fellows with shared control.
  • Automatic hero revival at revival shrines.
  • Arena system with PvP support.
  • Automatic creep respawns.
  • Automatic item respawns.
  • Fair bounty, XP and item distribution from creep kills and completing quests.
  • AOS-like PvP area.
  • Class repick.
  • Equipment system with visible items.
  • Backpack system with stacking items and without custom GUI which can be used during the battle.
  • Up to 15 different spells at once.
  • Custom skill system with 2 skill points per level and without custom GUI which can be used during the battle.
  • Shop markers.
  • Many custom quests which can be completed by every player once.
  • Big coop battles.
  • Big hidden dungeons.
  • Automatic tree transparency to get a better view from above.
  • Emotes with chat commands.
  • German translation of dialogues.

  • Not all custom terrain ground textures are working.
  • Some tooltips are still German and have to be translated.
  • The English translation is either very basic or just done with Google translate. I had to do it alone, so it needs improvement. You can report all issues here.
  • The sound files are not used correctly and the sounds hence have a duration of 0.0. Custom unit sound sets don't work as well.
  • The map still contains stuff from the singleplayer campaign like map entries on the map.
  • There is a camera zoom bug. Sometimes during video sequences the camera will just start zooming in. I am not sure what the source is. If I find the source, I will fix it.
  • Sometimes in the late game the game might completely break probably due to some vJass errors. Keep as many savegames as possible.
  • The RPG camera view does not change the distance if there is a wall at the camera's position.
  • The filesize of the map with all the dialogue sounds is bigger than the Reforge multiplayer map size limit of 256 MB. It must be reduced over time or the dialogue sounds must be extracted and distributed separately to make the map work in multiplayer.
  • The minimap should be a custom texture which fits the custom camera bounds. It must be readded using the new frame natives.





2021-07-31 Version 1.1:
  • English translations.
  • Split map and sound files and make them work with "Allow Local Files".
  • Many small fixes like clearing messages, no more long fade for Dago's video, different custom models for apples and Wigberht and colored player names even as character names.

Is it supposed to be Open Source, as in editable and uploaded by anyone?

  1. The narrator's transmission ends in 2 secs. No time to read. Actually, most of the transmissions are too fast. Should be fixed. It's a general thing.
  2. Beast Hunter ability has no description (the buff is in Deutsch). Same with Raid, Bloodlust, Attribute Bonus.
  3. Wigberht doesn't answer anything. Nobody seems to say anything, only the character asks questions without getting any answers. You get quests by asking questions. It's confusing.
  4. Nordic War Helmet's description is in German. Same: Pot Helmet, Beckehaube, Ritterhelm, Amulet of Strength, Amulett der Stärke, Ring of Strength +3, all the Hund items. Actually, most items...

It's rather unpolished. A nice map overall though.

Awaiting Update.

ADDITIONAL NECESSARY INFORMATION
  • A credits list in the map thread description is required where the names of the resource (models, skins, icons, spells, sound etc.) authors are mentioned along with the specific resource. It would be a luxury to have links leading to the used resources. Credits in the Quest Log would be appreciated too.
  • A detailed changelog in the first post would be helpful to reviewers and notify fans about the newest implementations to your map.
  • Map thread tags are important. Please use those that fit and not more or none.
