[Role Playing Game] World of Warcraft: Heroes Return

[andreariona]

got them considered to be added on next version after alpha release, but I can't include tauren and pandaren though, and chaosy is right, hunter ain't really a fitting role for a magic seeker like blood elf race. lol

progress so far:
- done terrain for 1st dungeon.
- changing terrain layout on eastern island area.
- complete developing creeps.
- done some items for alpha release.
- doing some triggering atm.

if it isn't tonight, I think tomorrow I'm able to release the alpha version for a test.

 

[D_King23]

Great!i can't wait for it release!! XD

 

[andreariona]

haha my triggering skill got rustier after a year didn't touch WE and now it took me extra time to spend on coding.

 

[D_King23]

So...any release?xD

[gwapopogi53]

Wow, I didn't know that you're back, andrea. This is a very nice project!

 

[andreariona]

new comeback, new project. haha jk, but seriously, I'll stick and focus with this one project until it's release, not only around alpha/beta stage but until it's completely finish. hwaiting!

 

[gwapopogi53]

Good to hear that. I'm just wondering, why is this project not on your blog?

 

[andreariona]

hmm perhaps later when I have finish it, been a year haven't update anything on the blog, they might think I'm dead or something. lol

 

[D_King23]

oh...so that fairy tail project is yours o_o

 

[andreariona]

oh...so that fairy tail project is yours o_o

yep.

anyway, progress: this is current looks for Azjol-Nerub dungeon (not final). might made another tile later to change the current one if I had another idea.

And this is the dungeon entrance (the helm was taken off from a nerubian creeps and made it into doodad decoration).

 

[D_King23]

DAMNIT!!ou just make me wanna play this game so hard!! xD

 

[gwapopogi53]

Wow, such doodad, very cool, such terrain, clap, wow. Literally, WOW.

 

[Chaosy]

WOW.

I see what you did there

 

[Shanghai]

realy cool project!

 

[andreariona]

thanks for the comments and the enthusiasm. made me wanna finish and release alpha ver asap really. haha

 

[gwapopogi53]

@Chaosy -- Really glad that someone saw what I did there. XD
@andrea -- I hope you can release it by New Year. DD

 

[Hadeis]

This looks promising.

 

[andreariona]

thanks! and trust me I want to release alpha test as soon as possible myself.

this is current revised Azjol-Nerub dungeon: (claw-like doodad on the wall taken and remade from nerubian leg's armor)

 

[Razosh]

Looks amazing I'll enjoy fighting the fallen king.

 

[Heinvers]

Looks amazing I'll enjoy fighting the fallen king.

I agree! this will be a worthy battle! Nice terrain (Keiji don't mock me!)

 

[andreariona]

thank you very much.

 

[bethmachine]

Just can't believe this,.the only problem is the tiles has not a lot of variatio na espacialy by the misha side.

 

[andreariona]

yep, I only use 7 variation of tiles at the moment out of 16, would made more variation later in future release.

edit: this is the revised ver of Azjol-Nerub final area. (plus size comparison between unit and anub'arak as the boss)

anyway, does anyone know or is it possible to made some kind of invisible pathing block-like around the boss (like in WoW)? so the hero not really get pretty near (and unseenable) when they hitting huge sized boss.

huge boss

 

[bethmachine]

I'm not sure but you releasing it today or tomorrow, looking good very good.

 

[Chaosy]

cant you just change the pathing size?
the field in the objecte editor is: Pathing Collision Size 64 = one block in the editor.

I would try 64 * 3 or 64 * 4 judging from the picture.

 

[andreariona]

thank you, as soon as I can. hehe

lol it's work. made it 384 and no more too near when hitting a huge boss, I never though of this. thanks!

 

[gwapopogi53]

I hope you can release it this midnight as a new year gift for everyone. HAHA!

 

[D_King23]

Yea so true! XD

 

[tobyfat50]

Nice work! Seems like the best wow conversion project. Wow has some really bumpy terrains, you could try some more height variations on the terrain, the only real height difference I saw so far is in the video (actually never mind, the terrain is perfect, taked a better look) but overall looks awesome. Check out my old wow maps I was trying to make terrains as high\low as possible Toby's Maps, although the links are broken you can still see some screenshots. Also like the tiles.

Good luck and keep progressing!

 

[andreariona]

I had a new year party last night actually so I can't release it midnite. lol

@toby thank you very much for the compliments, they looks beautiful. loved the whole terrain layout done on your ironforge mountain one! I also used to using a over-high raise as well for making a mountain back then like in WoW but in game it doesn't looks as good as in world editor (esp when using 3rd person cam) so I started to using a rock doodad (that share the same texture with the rock tile I use) for making a mountain instead of using over-high raise.

 

[gwapopogi53]

Still waiting........ HAHA!

 

[andreariona]

hmm not yet, there's somehow always a problem/something doesn't fit that I found after checking in game each time I want to release it.

today progress:
- made a reskin for a human male villager and slight edit on human female villager.
- fix some tooltips (missing, wrong grammar, etc).
- fix some issue on camera system.
- dungeon boss battle rescript.
- change some enemies abilities.

here's 3 ingame preview screenshot I take while testing it in game: (kindly login if you can't see it since I uploaded it on my hive account album)

Hurry up fixing it them

 

[D_King23]

Still waiting also XD

 

[andreariona]

Alright, just finish dialogue for each NPC whenever player click them as well as found credits I've looked up for. Just need some reskin for models, improving some tooltips and set drop items for each creeps and alpha release for testing purpose is finally ready tonight! I guess I care too much for visual looks didn't I? haha

 

[Chaosy]

are you sure you dont want to re-create a few models from scratch just to make sure?

 

[andreariona]

nope, I've finished some materials that I need. beside this is already been a week long after planned release date so I guess next stuff will be added on next update.

 

[Chaosy]

I was sarcastic you know

I will likely use whosyourdaddy and run through it. I am no ORPG player.

 

[Binsu]
