Warcraft III - Fall of Draenor

[AIagremm]

OMG, Im so happy with you guys! :'D

Actually, some of you might be surprised, but I have already made the full storyline for the campaign! Including the orcs, draenei, Horde, arakkoa(whose campaign I love the best) and ogres, however their campaign is the less planned. I am even thinking of moving it to be between arakkoa and Horde camapign.

EDIT:
Kil'jaeden will be present in the orc and draenei campaigns. His last appaearnce will be in the cinematic after Shattrath was destroyed(end of draenei campaign)

The pic looks interesting, yet you should listen to what takakenji says.

OMG, you're right! We're on 32th place! This is a success! There were 507 visitors and our pictures were viewed 1478 times!

 

[kingbdogz]

that splash, hmmmm, I'll search the mpq how to replace that

It cannot be replaced via the MPQ's, you need a data hacker.

Well, basically, searching the MPQ's IS datahacking. But you'r right, i don't think you can change the splash just like that. I somehow got a feeling that it's connected to the net(?), wherefrom it receives new images?

 

[AIagremm]

It doesnt receive new images. There are only two - Orc(RoC) and Arthas(TFT).

Oh, i think we're talking about different things. Or perhaps i just played wow too much.

And lightning, I don't work in GIMP, so i have absolutely no idea . I'm working in photoshop. But it's about the same interface right?

yeah, i use gimp to recolor icons too for my map

same exact tools, except slightly different names and a different looking toolbar

i'll get to work on the ogre building models tomorrow

also, i was reading through the thread from page 1 and found this

However they look like an intelligent race, what we cant allow.
Creatures without intellect that look like they have one, are bad.

BTW, Colossi will look more like the mounatin giants and golems. Their red crystal look in WoW was made by Kael who was experimenting on the Colossi of Outland.
Since they were normal back then, they should look normal.

actually, normal Draenor colossi are blue, not gray.

There are some uncorrupted colossi in Auchindoun (or however you spell it) in WoW and they're blue.

 

[JokeMaster]

I would say we should make our own mpq's just to use for the mod. Example FOd.mpq has all units skins models ai's interfaces etc fodpatch.mpq has all the stuff that will be updated. Trust me making new mpq's is much easier than hacking.

Now, if you followed just a bit of the convocation here, you would know that this is our plan.

By the way, Alagremm, I've finished a prototype of the icon:

Now, of cause, this is only a prototype, allowing much to be changed.

 

[takakenji]

what is it suppose to be ?

 

[dab]

what is it suppose to be ?

Well, Alagremm mentioned the icon that we're gonna use as for a "startup" program. However, the instructions i got was a draenei face and Terokkar forest tree-frame. This is the result i got of it.

Personal oppinion: Perhaps make it a Arrakoa?

 

[Perry_]

This project looks really interesting, I'll keep an eye on it. Also Alagremm I replied to your question in my thread. Yes I have WoW, it's just not active at the moment, however I am feeling the urge to get back into it after putting it down for 6 months Plus I'd love to offer my skills in voice acting to help tell the story of the Fall of Draenor, a story I myself am very interested in so I'd love to see what you've done with it

 

[AIagremm]

The project is running like crazy!

Takakenji, actually they have different colors because they are really adaptable. The ones in Shadowmoon Valley have green lava on them, the ones in Hellfire Peninsula have red crystals and skin, Netherstorm colossi are purple, the colossi in Auchindouns Mana Tombs look similar to the ones in Nexus, so we can say that the light gray skin is the result of unfusion with magic. The colossi made by the Apexis arakkoa are yellow and the regular colossi are grey with blue crystals.

DaB, the wood needs to be straighter, I want to see the wood structure, try making it similar to the normal WCIII desktop icons. Make the draenei face a bit blurrier or use any other effect to make it look less WoWish. We cant use arakkoa, because they play a minor role in FoD. However, if you think that we should make a draenei face with the draenei yellow stone and violet crystal frames, just tell me!

Perry_ why dont you find a free server? Id love to see you work on the voices, regarding on lightning's opinion.

I do, 100%, support the idea of crystals instead of wooden frames, as draenei and wood don't go so good along with each other.

 

[AIagremm]

Okay, good luck then!

 

[Bernkastel]

Uhmm... I dont mean to be rude, Lightning.. But i think that thing you made looks pretty ugly.

 

[kingbdogz]

The splash is actually hidden within the executable file itself, that is why I referred to a data hacker.

I recommend making only one MPQ file since that way you can convert it into an executable like my project. I can give you the program that does this if you want.

 

[lightning brigade]

Eh I'll make another one... Not like I have a choice(I merged all the layers not suspecting it would screw me over). I'll make something a bit different though. Anyway I need to get working, lotsa images I have to try and make. Hopefully they won't be so hideous.

Nah, i got it long time ago, when we started this up. DW ^^

 

[AIagremm]

Thats it kingbdogz! I wont tolerate this anymore! I will... put you on "special thanks" list.

Also, found some awesome necrolyte art.

Orc Necromancer

 

[nickex]

Can't wait got an estimated release date?

 

[AIagremm]

No, we dont.

 

[Perry_]

Fall of Draenor is coming: Soon™

 

[thecheesaman]

but how soon is soon

 

[kingbdogz]

When it's ready. Projects like these require way too much work to have a set date, trust me I know.

 

[supertoinkz]

well, just found a Executable Hacker
yes, kingbdogz was right, the splash is inside the executable inside

 

[kingbdogz]

Glad to help

The splash is a little tricky though, sometimes when you change the splash it completely crashes. I only finally got it working smoothly a couple of weeks ago.

 

[fancy]

MAN! I can't wait to see this and Edge to be finished! Good work to king and Alagremm for their projects!

 

[Fluff]

Okay so I have spent almost 2 hours creating a masterpiece of much worth.

Draenor's Destruction

You took a background, slapped some character in the foreground, and added a light effect that awkwardly covers the middle half of the picture..

The Arakoa guy is hardly recognizable. The red orc is waaaay to blurry and besides that, your characters are different styles. The Draenei, Kiljaeden, and the Ogre are from WoW, the green orc is from a drawing, and the other two are too blurry to identify (at least for me). Plus you may want to work on taking the white outline out of the green orc image and the arakoa, It's a good idea to half all of your elements come from similar sources. Also, it looks to me as if the Ogre is stretched horizontally and Kiljaeden is squished horizontally. They're both quite noticeable.

Well, Antichrist is sure to play it. Or Asteroid.

Ya... that's why it only took two hours, anyway, I'm not the best at art, I'm a better writer, I'm okay at to make something to my standards, but I'm far better at making stuff up on the spot than perceiving the sculpture inside the rock when I'm using a hammer and a chisel. I can make great stories, but I'm as good at art as DaB. Eh, I dunno if I can make something of any worth when it comes to gimp, but I've got a load of tools on my comp I can use. Like I said, I'll at least try anything you want me to try and do, but like my talent is writing, improvisation, and the aspect needed to write a story.

 

[arthas_king]

These days, im seeing SC2 growing to power, and noticed that a part of the hive died, omg it's hard to say but even dota dies!SC2 will begin a new age of modding!But im afraid that this project might be out after or near the time that SC2 comes out, and most of the people wont even play it

 

[MogulKahn]

I ll play SC2 but i ll play wc3 2.Cuz wc3 is my favorite game and for me wc is much more better than sc!But sc is good 2( i love sc cuz all good RTS are gone or die sucks now, like w40k:2 etc)
P.S. Blizzard ll make wc4 ?

 

[AIagremm]

Nah SCII will not only be too expensive, but also to difficult for many computers!
Also I dont think that SCII will be so good for modding, since the models in it are way too complicated for most modellers to make.

Plus our project was meant to be the last breath of Warcraft III... along with Edge of Eternity.

 

[MogulKahn]

Guys I dont understand u! WC3 wont die!Why u think that?Atleast we have DOTA."Last breath of wc3"!OMG i dont know why u said that!Go on playdota.com and u ll see there is a lot gamers who plays dota and wc3.U didnt answer me for wc4!

 

[AIagremm]

DotA is the horrible last stink of WCIII. If they'll convert it to SCII, I'll wolf down Icefrog and make him pay for what he did.

Anyway I never said WCIII will die... soon. And yes they are making WCIV, however it seems it'll be made in the same failing way as SCII.

 

[Bernkastel]

DotA.. DotA.. And DotA! DotA is a foolish map for some freakin' fanatics that just corrupt the battle.net and the whole warcraft 3. DotA.... DotA... Even the word makes me mad. ><

 

[MogulKahn]

Ala I love u man!U answered on every question!And can u tell me for races in wc4?DOTA RULZ! ICEFROG PWNZ! =P

 

[AIagremm]

You scare me sometimes. There is no info about WCIV except that there will be a similar campaign system as in SCII in it. I hope there will be an Old God race!

 

[Trilby]

DotA is not a bad genre IMO
Its just the most horribly overused genre in the history of Warcraft.

 

[Bernkastel]

This is called the off topic ender _________ And it goes here D
_____________________________________________________________________

 

[MogulKahn]

Ye ye ! U can say whatever u want but DOTA is really fun when u play 5vs5 for 80 mins!And Old God Race u mean on the Ragnaros and earth mother etc...?

 

[Bernkastel]

I thought i said something.. But oh well

 

[lightning brigade]

well an old god race would be an elemental race wouldn't it? We should add that to another campaign mod should we finish this one. I'd call it, The history Of Azeroth. You know where I'm going with this, now to connect this to an on-topic comment and get the on-topic train rolling.

How are we going to make the cinematics?

 

[kingbdogz]

By the way guys Warcraft IV isn't actually in production yet, Blizzard confirmed that they wouldn't start until after all the Starcraft II expansions are completed and released.

 

[GhostThruster]

Warcraft is dying because it is easily the most customizable (is that a real word?) game in history, which can go two ways-one, that it increases it's popularity with really awesome maps everyone plays, or-two, that mapmakers create their own maps which themselves hog the popularity of Warcraft, and so people don't even buy or take notice of Warcraft, they just pirate it and play that map (specifically DoTa) on it.

In the 'Race Creators' social group, they are making an elemental race, with Misha and Chaos as the leads.

PS. How do you pronounce 'DoTa'? Like dotta, or Doe-ta?

 

[Hjorleif]

They were saying Warcraft IV would contain the playable races in WoW, however, they have pretty much changed their mind about that because there's too many. I'm assuming it would be Orc, Human, Night Elf, Undead, and possibly Draenei or Blood Elf. I personally hope for a Tauren race, even a Troll (Dwarf would be awesome too)

Also, IceFrog is NOT the original creator of DotA, nor did he get permission to continue the work. I remember the original team, he was NOT on it.

So, no. IceFrog does not rule.

 

[takakenji]

sorry for my slack, been very lazy lately, i will finish those last 2 ogre models

 

[Cthulus]

Which models were you working on, takakenji?

 

[takakenji]

i'm the "head ogre model maker"

been working on buildings, i can give some screens if you guys want

almost done with one, only one more to go (i'll finish both tomorrow, off to sleep once my antivirus finishes scanning)
