as for useless stuff, I could help you on that one (I dont want you to delete a function you are using).

 

[Hawk07]

Ok, we will fix this after Luthion sends the map. You will get it and remove useless stuff. And I shall add you in special thanks for your help! Ok?

 

[HappyTauren]

Okay .

 

[Luthion]

I'm back and i did send the map, did you check all the posts?
its on post 527!
edit: after you make the arena and the regions give the map so i can adapt the triggers!

 

[Hawk07]

Tasks for the next hour!

Ok, people listen to what I say:
Luthion you take the map, make the arena and stuff and upload the map.
After this HappyTauren takes the map. You shall remove all unused data from the trigger editor variables (if some zz_... data is used in some triggers dont remove at any cost). Dnot mind the missing model.
Hunter make us the plant model again with less polys now that you have to remake (sorry but it seems to have some specific kind of problem).
T-Rex make the turret - you have one week for it!
Velm no task for you yet, but we may need some help in something. Dunno what though!
RolePlaynGamer will you make us the camera system or...?
That's it - I will get afk in a while and back again for some mins!

 

[HappyTauren]

okay I fixed the map.
I had to remove all those zz_ variables except for one though, and there was some random stuff in custom script section. Good thing you didnt use those WEU custom functions, or it would take me a hour.

 

[Hawk07]

Damn

I uploaded just now. Can u w8 and do as I said in my previous post? After Luthion makes the system. Plz redo it when Luthion ends. Sorry for the trouble!

 

[HappyTauren]

No problem, I will fix it later then.

 

[Hawk07]

Thx HT. Whenever I can I will rep you again! But was it really so much space they took? Or just some KBs?

 

[Luthion]

I believe it's done, have not tested it since i would need 2 persons for that, in this system you can also challenge a member of your own team, if he starts acting cocky and saying your a noob, you just woop his a**!

 

[HappyTauren]

It is not only space, but also long map loading time they cause. And they took some RAM, and of course some memory in kb.

 

[Hawk07]

Ok, afk for 20 mins!

 

[The Dark Wizard]

If your still looking for testers may i be one?

 

[Hawk07]

Ok! /////15chars//////

 

[Luthion]

In post 561, download HappyTauren and fix, thx for helping our team!

 

[Hawk07]

Ok guys I am off. Keep up the good work and I will see the map tomorrow!

 

[snebulan]

I wanna be a tester to...

 

[HappyTauren]

I wanna be a tester to...

you see all those files for download? Just download them and test, and report bugs

EDIT: Fixed the map (removed useless WEU shit)

 

[RolePlaynGamer]

i dont have much time so i dont know about the camera system. I will make it if the map satifies me.

 

[Hawk07]

snebulan you are in the testing progress. Luthion and HT good job! RolePlaynGamer ok about the camera anyway it's not necessary but it would be a nice addon! Are you in the alpha testing RolePlaynGamer?

 

[RolePlaynGamer]

sure i want to see how good/bad the map is.

 

[Hawk07]

Ok, I am afk playing WoW. Gonna start slot 2 in less than 1 hour!

EDIT: Hunter, I am waiting for the new plant.mdx. When will it be ready? Plz make haste!

 

[Dark Hunter1357]

The crop plant is remade nad its much better! But its even a little bigger file size.. I dont know why, i disabled the mesh smoot and used as little segments for the sphere and the cylinder as possible... I think that the sphere still has a lot... Anyway it uses ingame textures this time, so you can remove the green.blp and Carevica.blp

 

[Hawk07]

Ok, I will import soon! And remove useless textures!

 

[Dark Hunter1357]

Btw: Hawk07, use the (hidden=Option)value(/hidden) for the screenshots

 

[HappyTauren]

It is horrible polycount for such a simple model! 635 faces? Overkill. +You shoulud use plances for the leaves, and use low poly spheres....

 

[Dark Hunter1357]

i will remake it again later...

 

[Luthion]

So uhh i am back, have you imported the new plant.mdx hawk?
Edit: I'm gonna edit the map with the new model and upload it!
Uploaded enjoy!

 

[Hawk07]

Sorry guys, really sorry! My connection was screwed the last 1 hour! Now I am connected but I dunno for how long. Luthion import the model plz and send the map with it to me to check! HappyTauren we know about the problems the model has, but it's not the right moment now. We will care for this later. Now we have other things to take care of!

 

[Luthion]

Uploaded check post 579
Edit:Hawk could you increase the crop plant doodad size»? i forgot to do it, i think the model is better like double size

 

[Hawk07]

Ok, gonna check it!

Good, a hundred times better than the old plant but too big file size. Anyway I will open it in the model editor to see what's the cause!

Ok, no need to remake it but just make the sphere have less polys and the lower part a cilynder not a polygon thingy it is now. This will reduce size somehow. Hunter try this and reupload. We dont mind if it loses a little of quality- it's still very good and small to notice all this thing!

 

[Luthion]

Umm Hawk can the ultimate skills be triggered?It would look cooler i guess =)

 

[Hawk07]

Ok, sure! But we will do this when we get to the ultimate skills. Till then we have to make slot 2 and 3. But this is piece of cake. Guys I will start slot 2 right now and then I will start the passives for the Heroes. Items are after the skills and ultimates and after these is the Alpha Test. Not much time!
Hunter read post 582 and also one more thing: imo you can remove one or two leaves to make the model smaller in KBs!

 

[Dark Hunter1357]

Ok 2 leaves removed, half of the shpere is missing, that redused the size a lot

 

[Hawk07]

See? It wasnt that hard! I will now re-import it and leave it as it is for now! We can change later if we have a lot of trouble again!

 

[Luthion]

SO how are you with the skills?need any help??

 

[Hawk07]

Not yet. I had some editor corrupt problem 3 mins ago and lost all items but I can make in no time. So restarting. I wont need much time. I will now make skills that are not only dmg dps slow etc. but more like illusions and things alike. To spice things up!

 

[HappyTauren]

"imo you can remove one or two leaves to make the model smaller in KBs!"
no way, he needs to optimize the model as whole, and vertice assigment is hoorrible.

 

[Hawk07]

HT let us do whatever we want. Thx for the support and stuff but you are a PERFECTIONIST man. Who will mind 2-3KBs less? Imo NOBODY!

 

[HappyTauren]

I am not talking about 2-3kb, I am talking about the SIZE OF WHOLE MODEL being 2-3kb
Believe or not, I could make that plant model weight 3kb.

 

[Hawk07]

So 25KBs less. And what would this space serve for? Absolutely nothing! So we stick to the one we have and we are all satisfied. If someone else from the team doesnt like it then they shall tell us and we will decide after what to do with it!

 

[Luthion]

Ok now how are the skills going?Do you have any idea for a system i could make?like the duel one but that one is already made, tough i have to perfect it when i get a chance!

 

[Hawk07]

No idea yet. Maybe I want a revival system Luthion. Make it so that when a Hero dies, the worm will revive in X time (X="Hero level" x2) at players start location with 25% of total life and 50% of total mana. Ok? And also make it that a timer appears to the dead player till he/she respawns. Also make me a timer system to show the time played. Pretty easy I know but essential for such a map!

Going for lunch! Skills going well!

 

[Dark Hunter1357]

I will still remake it, later, because pople like HP are resurse mods and they need to like my models so they can get approved, but for this map, at least for now it does not matter indeed.

EDIT: 25% of total life - if the hero does not have fast regen, 25% is too little

 

[Luthion]

Hive was down right? anyways whenever you want me to start on the systems upload the map =)!

 

[Hawk07]

Development

Ok, I have made the slot 2 skills uploading in a sec. Test it a little Luthion. It is 25% cause it will have a spring to regen life and mana like in DotA. All Heroes have 0.00 regen rate and they have to use medics in case they want to regain health!

Ok, Luthion do as I said. And yes the Hive was down! Hunter make the model before Alpha Test if possible, you have one week. Lord-T-Rex same for you and the turret. Velm, you can go through the skills and other things in the map and tell us your opinion as you have been offline lately (resting is good as far as you finished the terrain)!
Soon we are at 40% and this will be as soon as all skills are done. Units will remain this way till we get the turret to make the turret builder worm. Items will be made after the skills and then Alpha Test probably!

In 1 hour I will get offline for 4+ hours anf maybe till tomorrow. So focus on whatever you can do and we will make slot 3 tomorrow and slot 4 the day after together with Luthion. Ok, that's it! Get working!

EDIT: In the next few mins I will make the loading screen! Hooray!
RE-EDIT: Tell me if the image is good to go on more!

 

[Luthion]

Ok gonna start on the map
=) im not good with timers but ill see what i can do!

 

[Hawk07]

Yeh, ok timers are easy. I could make something if you like. Anyway shall I use the image I showed in the last post? Or use the one we had in start?

 

[Luthion]

Omg to do the hero revival system i can't get Hero - Revive action to work! everithing works but that action it just does nothing! it doesn't revive the hero, ill have to do it some other way ='(
That image is good tough it could be improved!

 

[Hawk07]

Ok, I filtered this image and cropped. Now for the hard parts! I will have the loading screen done soon! I will send it zipped with instructions to import and add in your next upload ok? (About the revive - try reviewing the actions something may go wrong - check a tutorial etc (sometimes we cant see the smallest errors and we search for the biggest ones))! Good luck!
