The Story of Van Eastmore

sonofjay · May 23, 2012

Nah I'll only have one tester(Ken-E) after he test it and all works fine, I'll release a demo version.

shinji · May 23, 2012

Hope this will be your first approved custom map. (This is so awsome!!! My map was GARBAGE.)

sonofjay · May 23, 2012

Nah, I think Chaos Arena will be finish first. Just waiting for DJ to finish those AIs.

Drunken_Jackal · May 23, 2012

Remember: Broken Wc3 :{P

sonofjay · May 23, 2012

, anyway while you're Wc3 is broken, lets just focus on this one good sir ;{D

shinji · May 23, 2012

I'll try to make my AI system on your map again. I didn't try hard because it took like 2 minuts to save.... (My slow computer.)

Drunken_Jackal · May 23, 2012

Shinji, post it on the Chaos Arena thread.
Anywho, I think you need a more diverse set of icons for the attack commands.
Also, the movement speed drop seems too low.

shinji · May 24, 2012

A question. Where did you get that animated villager model?

sonofjay · May 24, 2012

I got the model here from hive, just make some changes and bla bla bla to get the result I want, anyway, I'm studying terrains from other games and will try to implement them here :ogre_hurrhurr:

shinji · May 24, 2012

Ah. Is it this? The model you're using?

espatula · May 25, 2012

i'd say the map realy needs good backstory on the quests

sonofjay · May 25, 2012

@espatula, backstory for the quest? I did not release any story for the quest, only their quest titles... and if you're talking about the background of Van Eastmore everything I wrote on the first page is enough.

N.Knight · May 25, 2012

this looks pretty good, now I know why you need the armor models

+rep for the project

Thanks, I hope you can produce some :psmile:

Hexcellion · May 27, 2012

Should I give stories for side-quests already?

sonofjay · May 28, 2012

@Hex, yup, we're compiling it now, we got 5 finish side stories now. And I'ma update the progress bar now.

shinji · May 28, 2012

How long will the gameplay for this map be?

sonofjay · May 28, 2012

As long as you want to play it, we're planning lots of side story quest, and also have a system that generates random quests when you talked to the quest givers that will be scattered on every city and villages, we're also planning to puts lots of equipment that you can collect(right now there was 100+ weapons that I already imported but only 8 is implemented yet) I'm still expecting some weapon models from krad and I'm still looking for good armor attachments that we can use. And on a 480x480 map you know that you can do many things.

I'm sorry, which ones are these?

I'm lacking on bow variations, if you can grab some on xgm or on other site then that would be great.

ERYFKRAD · May 29, 2012

I did link you to a bow-pack, yes?

sonofjay · May 29, 2012

Six bows yeah, all generic bows the only difference are the colors.

ERYFKRAD · May 30, 2012

Simplistic, non-showoff bows are a wee bit hard to come by, you know.

shinji · May 30, 2012

How about add a mage attack?? It could be nice, if it's ok to have magic in your map.

sonofjay · May 30, 2012

Well I want the game to be focus on weapon fighting(sword,maces,bows etc) but I'm also applying some magics in the game, you can have some by buying it from mages.

Well... That will be cool.

But what I exactly meant is, how about adding a magic attack like the bow attack. You know, you're normal attack is shooting fireballs etc.

sonofjay · May 30, 2012

Hmmm, we will see. But the model I'm using don't have anims for a staff, maybe I'll ask krad to animate it but will ask it later, me and krad have better things to do,

I see. I'm looking forward to see this approved.

sonofjay · May 30, 2012

That will take sometimes, its a 480x480 map and terraining it with enough details for a 3rd person cam is a pain in the ass, but I might pull the demo before my school starts and just work on the map bit by bit after that.

Good luck on that. I'll be really free soon. Because it's summer vacation soon!!!! (It's in August.)

Is That Something Singelplayer ??

But , It Looks Awsome BTW Ill Subscribe it.

sonofjay · May 31, 2012

if you use JNGP you can expand the map size to 480x480

shinji · May 31, 2012

Hmm... Why did blizzard make WE with limitations?

sonofjay · May 31, 2012

uhhm, why asked a off-topic thing on this thread? you can asks me directly if you want. Anyway, to answer that, they do it for business purposes.

Sin'dorei300 · May 31, 2012

Nice loading screen!

Drunken_Jackal · May 31, 2012

Jay, for the loading screen, i'd love to help, but you should add sky + fog first.

sonofjay · May 31, 2012

@Bloodelf, thanks

@DJ, yeah Krad pointed that out, will add fogs later. About the sky, there is a sky, but not really noticeable XD.

Drunken_Jackal · Jun 1, 2012

I mean a sky dome doodad. Check the UTM.

SonOfJay , Can I Help You With Your Project ??

shinji · Jun 1, 2012

Will a beta version be released?? If yes, I would want to be a tester.

Drunken_Jackal · Jun 1, 2012

Its Y U OFFTOPIC, not Y U NO... //fail

Plus, dude this just started, expect beta to be far.

Really? But I see a lot of things done in the list.

sonofjay · Jun 1, 2012

SonOfJay , Can I Help You With Your Project ??

If you know how to model armor attachments, sure why not. I can handle everything from the triggers terrain and object editor management(mostly I feel comfortable to do this for my map since I can control what is happening)

Will a beta version be released?? If yes, I would want to be a tester.

Well there is only 1 beta tester and its my old friend Ken-E(its only a srpg so no need for many testers.)

Plus, dude this just started, expect beta to be far.

This.

I still have lots of things to do, making the items for the weapons then their appropriate attach models, their attack spells and stats bonus.Making monsters and balance them. I still need to balance lots of things. Also terraining was eating a lot of time,(I'm stuck on the first empire). I'm also gathering enough resources, but mainly I need armor models.

Well Krad made a mesh transplant with the main model and you'll see the image on the first post later.

EDIT:

Done posting the new image of the model. Thanks a lot KRAD!

How much did the operation cost? :ogre_hurrhurr:

Well, the models body looks too triangular and doesnt fit with the other models ingame. Use a better texture, make his man chest pop out more :{D
Ditch the long hair, makes him look old. Too old.
The chain and leather could benefit from popping out too.
Lastly, feet is bad, dont make it look like a Clothes Iron. A bit smoother?

sonofjay · Jun 1, 2012

I kneel in front of him and payed him a gazillion dollars.

Well, the models body looks too triangular and doesnt fit with the other models ingame.

I find this model better than the villager model, and it fits the armor models that I have so far (I'll remove those square armor models that I imported).

Will kneel and pay another gazillion dollars to krad about that.

I did it for free. And a (now)dead monkey. Jay's lying.

Drunken_Jackal said:

Can do, but it will definitely take time. This was just a transfer of an existing model. To pimp it up altogether, not so quick.

Drunken_Jackal said:

But.. but... but Long Hair can be teh cool!!

Drunken_Jackal said:

You mean the centerpiece harness thing?

Drunken_Jackal said:

Hmmm, can be done. I'll look into it later.

On the whole though, if you can hunt up a better looking model that I can transfer it on, it'd make things a lot easier.

Unless Jayson here wants a WoW Model. >.>

Sin'dorei300 · Jun 1, 2012

Vanny looks very badass now!

ic3_water · Jun 1, 2012

Where is your new skill :ogre_hurrhurr:

sonofjay · Jun 1, 2012

Already have it :ogre_hurrhurr:

But I think its not important to post it since its one of the spell that you can buy, :psmile:
