woooo cant wait for MPI

Well if u look at my previous post I made it MPI ^^

 

[-Kobas-]

I started working on ultimate version, expect progress soon.

EDIT:

Base setup and hero info is done.
Working on interfaces and buttons.
EDIT 2:

I removed coordinates and added regions, I will try to make it as simple as possible so even WE newbie can use it.
So far everything work fine, I added comment to each trigger action, camera system is rdy as well.
I removed GetLocalPlayer and added new interfaces to system, it's much easier to copy and paste few doodads/units/regions to edit player number.

 

[-Kobas-]

sorry for double post -.-

MPI VERSION IS FINISHED

And will be uploaded tonight, video as well.
Testing...
Triggers in description as well as triggers in map will be optimized and edited, please be patient, fully working version with more things will be uploaded soon.

Can I write this in Jass?

 

[-Kobas-]

I will improve it drastically. You can wait to see it or no.
If you convert this into any script language then I expect credits and link to resource

Btw in final version:
- Expect 3 taverns (each one will have 6 heroes).
- Expect special bonuses.
- Expect more effects.
- Expect colored text and hint messages.
- Expect sound effect.
- Expect different interfaces as well.
- Expect more players.
- Expect small arena with few items and creeps to play with.
- Expect hero pick limit selected by vote (from 1 to 5).
- Expect multiboard that will show picked heroes (will work with mode above).

Well expect much more in final version, I found inspiration so expect it soon.

 

[Magtheridon96]

Actually, I might not do it because it's such a disaster
No, i'm not insulting the system, I'm just saying that it would be really tedious to write all those LUA scripts
xD
Anyways, good job

Leak :x

• (Units in (Playable map area) matching..

 

[Striker21]

Wow, updated... now MPI.. what i expected..
But,.. why you remove the heroes' abilities icons at the left below the heroes icons?.
After reading your triggers, i don't think i found something to hide the Hero Model (destructible) to other player but unhide to selecting player only?

 

[88WaRCraFT3]

Well, i know this isn't final version, but i think you should fix text tags. Text tags at main attributes are mixed between. At stats, (regen, dmg...) text tags go over buttons, random and pick. At begin of game i see all 3 heroes, they aren't hidden. I think you should get Abilities back. And use all abilities with one destructible, ofc using trackables too in ultimate version. What i meant with one destructible is that you use only one destructible type for all spells, just like click one. And you can use Grab a Tree spell to change it's texture. So you would use only one destructible for all spells
Oh nearly forget, also text tag showing heroes name and title isn't centered... idk why also Hero summary texts start at Hero Summary, so you can't read that anymore... I think it's text tags size.
EDIT : Now i saw regions... not even strange why text tags work so bad can't wait for final version.
EDIT 2 : Why you use bars instead of reals... ???? f.e. "Damage : IIIIII" Instead of f.e. "Damage : 10-20"
EDIT 3 : Heroes don't face correctly... and their scale is too small.
EDIT 4 : I updated your map i fixed every text tag i fixed regions, i made heroes bigger, and some other little stuff, here it is View attachment UGHPS 2.1.w3x

 

[Cihparg]

A few improvements could be done;
Change "For each (Integer A) from 1 to 13, do (Actions)" to something else, than Integer A.
Display the floating text only to local player, perhaps even the dummies as well.

Leak :x

• (Units in (Playable map area) matching..

No, that is not a leak, as it is being handled with

• set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true

 

[-Kobas-]

Guys everything you said was checked and nicely tested.
There are no leaks, Integer A and such variables work without errors etc etc.

EDIT : Now i saw regions... not even strange why text tags work so bad can't wait for final version.

I just placed them, I still need to calculate text size and scale because I based image on image created in WE .
Can be and will be fixed.

EDIT 2 : Why you use bars instead of reals... ???? f.e. "Damage : IIIIII" Instead of f.e. "Damage : 10-20"

I like idea, look cool to me, just another way to show you how it can look like.
Can be and will be fixed if more users find this annoying.

EDIT 3 : Heroes don't face correctly... and their scale is too small.

Can be and will be fixed.

EDIT 4 : I updated your map i fixed every text tag i fixed regions, i made heroes bigger, and some other little stuff, here it is UGHPS 2.1.w3x

Thanks but I think that I can do it myself as well

Check description and my post linked above.

Please download and test map.
You will understand it then.

 

[Bugz]

Lovely 5/5

 

[-Kobas-]

Progress....

EDIT:

I added Settings button, you are now free to easily pick different interface (Human, Orc, Night Elf and Undead)

 

[Vengeancekael]

Mmmh love the new settings button, don't forget to remove the footman sound.

 

[D a w n]

just subscribing and telling you tht I totally love that system <3

Already gone

[Freaky DevA]

First of all this rocks!!! But I can't see it properly. Screenshot below.

Anyone knows why this happens??

 

[phoenixfire]

Did you import everything right?

 

[-Kobas-]

Set graphic options to high.

 

[Freaky DevA]

Did you import everything right?

I didn't import anything yet, I just tested the map available to download to see if it works first..

Set graphic options to high.

Everything was on high. :/

 

[-W3SK3R-]

Why don't you make the map on the system map if you have a problem like that?

 

[-Kobas-]

Dunno then really, it works fine for me and I guess all other users that tested it...

 

[Freaky DevA]

Why don't you make the map on the system map if you have a problem like that?

What do you mean by saying try it on the system map??

Dunno then really, it works fine for me and I guess all other users that tested it...

Do you think it could be the graphic card??

 

[Bugz]

Do you think it could be the graphic card??

You need a really really bad graphic card for not being able to run wc3 in high graphics

 

[Kanadaj]

Dude from the one I made you could have used the GetLocalPlayer() functions... Your triggers aren't bad, but for ten players they just take WAY too much space. Showing floating texts and descrtuctibles locally saves a CRAZY amount of space And you even dared to take my advanced stats screen but you don't even mention my name -.- The proof is there 2 pages back The one I made works perfectly, the pastebin is still working and you only have to replace coordinates with regions to get what you made now but for less space

I have the same problem, anyone got an answer?

its pretty much made for his single player map :0

 

[Etzer]

Sweet !

 

[Kanadaj]

But 2.0 was remade for others to work in multiplayer, I even uploaded a 1-interface MPI one

 

[-Kobas-]

Hard to understand (for newbies). Triggers are hard to edit, and if we split players into different groups with different heroes, interfaces, taverns, triggers will be horrible.

Your triggers aren't bad, but for ten players they just take WAY too much space. Showing floating texts and descrtuctibles locally saves a CRAZY amount of space

I know but you use this triggers on game start or after some kind of game info. You are free to destroy them if you want and remove all leaks once when everyone choose hero.

And you even dared to take my advanced stats screen but you don't even mention my name -.- The proof is there 2 pages back

And you dared to upload MPI version without asking if you want to play that way.
Oh and I edited picture, yes I edited mine to fit nice with regions, check yours it won't work.

The one I made works perfectly, the pastebin is still working and you only have to replace coordinates with regions to get what you made now but for less space

Regions are easier to understand and edit because we use GUI here not Jass (we know that is writing faster than clicking, but not in this case )
Oh and any newbie can easily just CNP regions, and move them around map, doing same with map coordinates won't work.

You are free to create your system I really don't know what you want from me now

 

[Kanadaj]

Hmmph I'm sorry, and I didn't see that u gave me rep I use GUI, don't even know how to work with JASS correctly, I just use some custom scripts to extrend my limits. I think you misunderstood, but I agree with you using regions instead of coordinates (it's soooo much easier ) I think I was a bit tired yesterday and had a bad mood because of diarrhea ^^

Ok it works for me now. I was on an old laptop when I first tried it.

 

[-Kobas-]

I guess there are no problems or bugs with it then, I think that we can wait moderation now

 

[Kanadaj]

Hmm for the new version it needs a new moderation? I tought it was already approved ^^

 

[Bugz]

This is Ultimate

 

[Kanadaj]

Oh btw kobas pls if it's not in the presentation yet than add CTRL+PGDown and PGUp to it as for me it took some hours to fiure out how to organise it up and down ^^

 

[-Kobas-]

ahah I forget about that
Thanks will do

 

[OxygenD]

OMG, BIG OMG... look screen..

show

WTF
AoE = 0
stat screen run away
and another stat = 0

 

[-Kobas-]

Dunno what to say, you are 1st one who experienced such problem...
Try to resize model a little.

 

[88WaRCraFT3]

How's goin ? are you working on final ? or what

 

[-Kobas-]

Well I stopped for now.
It's MUI, general idea is here, I showed you few tricks as well... Dunno, maybe when I found some more cool ideas to share them with you I update this.
For now I wait moderation and more or less professional opinions.

 

[-Kobas-]

This is a very nice system for selecting heroes. It has good execution and pleasing aesthetics. I'd like to see it used for maps.

However there are still a few issues.

In-game

• When pressing ESC, the camera pans to the hero selection screen. Make the camera apply instantly. You can also use fade out, apply cam, fade in.
• One can get two heroes if the OK button is clicked rapidly.
• If one clicks OK before a hero is selected, the camera will pan to the center of the map. This situation is not handled with triggers.

Triggers

• UGHPS camera trigger shouldn't be on all the time. Turn it off initially. Only have it on when some player is in the screen.
• UGHPS camera timers are not initialized automatically for other indexes than 0 and 1. That means it won't work for player 2. You need to create the other timers yourself.
• You should add the events of UGHPS Camera x trigger in the setup trigger.
• The interface change triggers should be turned off when no player is in the screen.
• UGHPS Buttons does the checks for the rest of the unit types even if it has found a match already. Use skip remaining actions or put the if/then/elses inside each other.
• P2 hero models aren't initially hidden.
• UGHPS Setup has two events, only use Map Initialization.

General notes

• Add importing instructions into the map.

Suggestions

• Using trackables would be even smoother, though you would need to use custom scripts.
• The screen is visible through black mask and fog of war. Hide all destructibles initially, only show them when a player is in screen, and only for that player. Use GetLocalPlayer().

Status: |c00FF8000Needs Fix|r

Lime green is fixed. I will try to fix everything else soon as well.
Thank you for your time.

 

[Xian]

kobas... theres a BIG Problem...
it doesnt show hero statistics,its only white,nor does it show the models

 

[-Kobas-]

I'ts because of your resolution, I must add that option in new version.
I use 1920 x 1080 screen and everything looks perfectly fine.

so.. if someone uses my map in wrong resolution,it will show white too?

 

[-Kobas-]

Yes, I will add option in new version to setup that on start and fix such errors.
Or you can warn users to use max graphic details and high resolutions.

 

[forthelols]

put that in a dota-style map?

Bad thing is that you can get more than 1 hero...but I still like the Tavern System built into W3. That's the main reason I'm not going to use this.

Dont be a noob,he just put that so we can see it again and again
add trigger- turn off (this trigger)

 

[88WaRCraFT3]

after watching video, (i didn't test map), heros still aren't centered to you.
You should make player instantly select hero after choosing it. idk for more... (FUCK YEAH ^^ )
