Uncharted Waters 1.30b

Nice map. But maybe you can off fog. It sucks when you can see where your enemy are.
Btw good work. 5/5

Sorry but in LAN when i host a game, my friend was disconnecting after 10-20 sec...
Seems to be good but this file go to my trash, sorry.

(version 1.30)

Would it be possible to make the shots faster? Because when i played this most of the kills where crashkills and only very little kills wheere because of the cannons. I think it is too easy to evade if they are that slow...

Yes, there is a small chance that the map will cause a server split especially if you have selected a large amount of islands since the wc3 engine cannot always handle the terrain generation properly.

more details

According to what I've heard, warcraft 3 is likely to cause desync/server split if you use the function GetLocationZ simultaneously with terrain deformations.

The terrain generation system creates a large amount of deformations at the beginning of the game to create the islands and varying depths to the water.

GetLocationZ is used periodically with the ship and projectile movement triggers to detect if the unit is on water or land.

If someone has a solution to this problem I'd be happy to hear it.
(Some other solution than completely removing the terrain generation system).

True. Thanks for the suggestion!

• Increased projectile speed
  • The projectiles are now 40% faster

This game has a HUGE bug. When I play it solo, I am able to select the settings and play the game just fine. But when it comes to playing it multi-player, the settings window just stays there, with no actual settings to choose from, at all what so ever. I can't even start the game, its just a plain window that says "Game settings" and a pitch black screen in the back. I re hosted it because I thought maybe it fixes itself when I re host it. But nope, same thing happen. This happens every time on my bot on LAN. Sorry, but as FOR NOW, I rate this map a [2/5] (Will change the rating to [5/5] once that bug is fixed) for being unplayable in multi-player.

Hmmh that's weird... I'll look into it soon.
Have you tried to host the game without the bot?
Were you Player 1 (Red) in that game?


Edit: After doing some thorough testing I've concluded that the problem is actually in your bot, not in the map.

for your little getlocationx and terrain deforming...
couldint you have the game wait (X) amount of time between getting location and then doing terrain deformation, and not do it simultaneously? just have a loading screen for about 10 seconds loading all the stuff up
i am not sure if it will work.. but theres my suggestion >_>

 

[ultra.x]

Deliciously lovely !! Brilliant job !!

 

[deepstrasz]

Great !

I would enjoy some shipyards for repairs and upgrades though.

 

[Rym]

hmmm a lot of good feedback on this map, gotta check it!

Hello, Kitabatake. Your map is just cool! However it could be even more better, if you will keep working on it
For example, cannonballs don't kill critters on islands. One time I died in the beginning because ship appeared on land, and another time a was surrounded by islands.

Moreover, you should work a bit with shadows. For example, shadows of critters appears ON the water, when they "dive" (disable shadows on water). Maybe it is better to make "flying" shadow for frigate?

It would be great, if you could make some kind of a RPG mode with level-ups and ability to buy better ships (with more canons). You could also somehow use undead's frigate.

I hope you don't mind that I tranlated it to russian)

I believe these problems were already fixed with version 1.24 and higher.

Version Changes 1.24

• Fixed a severe respawn bug that occurred after about 20 respawns
• Fixed respawn location detection
  • Cannot spawn next to another ship
  • Cannot spawn too close to an island
  • Cannot spawn on map edges
• Host can now choose the map boundary type
  • Island Wall
  • Abyss

Which version were you playing? Did the spawn problems happen often?

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll consider them if I get time for it.

That's fine.
