WW2: World in Flames [REVISED]

[RiotZ]

Uhm.. that just seems very bulky. All i want is a function that i can call, where i give "who has x most docks?" where x can be 1st, 3rd, and so on, and i return a player.

This is how you get the player with most docks, that is pretty simple:

you make a loop that exits when index > number of allies. then you have two variables, one integer called "max" and one player called "p". you start by settyng "p" as ally number 1 (the one with the lowest player number, like player 1, if he is an ally) and "max" as the number of ports i have (which i have stored in an array variable called NumPorts[]). every loop, you increase index by 1 and check if NumPorts > max. If it is, i set max to NumPorts, and p to Player(i). When the loop finishes i will recieve the top player.

Now, i just want this code to stack them by order in an array p[], so that i can return the position i want.

By the way, you can except to see the Portland-class Cruiser up soon!!

Well, pfft, I would have just used a the simpleton way. xD

When's the next beta test?

 

[Fingolfin]

We are thinking of having one on saturday, although i am not sure. My girlfriend is moving away for university this thursday, so i am going to do some stuff with her this week rather than working on the map.

EDIT: Finished the last allied ship, the Northampton-class cruiser.

 

[WOWWARS]

Nice

 

[RiotZ]

Kewlio.

 

[Gausslander]

You pump these models out with ease.

 

[RiotZ]

So if we have a test on Saturday how will we coordinate with everyone to be online at once...?

I think where I live it's -5 GMT, and I'm usually around from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM.

 

[Fingolfin]

We usually say 20.00 CET (Central European Time), and i'd say that is what we will go for on saturday too. Everyone who has steam should join our WiF group and meet up in chat there, otherwise you can contact me here on the hive or hang in the chat and i will look you up.
Right before we play we will meet in the WIF channel on b-net (/j wif), although there is propably no use hanging around there until i ask you to.

By the way, i just uploaded another news post to our moddb profile. You will be able to see it as soon as it gets approved; it is a summary of the american faction.

 

[Miss_Foxy]

Hehe still very excited for the release of this, by the way Fin, made any new models recently? Can't wait!

Kk, I don't usually hang on Steam, or THW Chat, I'll just wait in the channel on B.net.

Btw, what is CET on GMT? Like I said for example I'm -5 GMT.

 

[Fingolfin]

CET is GMT+1.
It's kinda wierd that GMT is where it is really, there's practically nothing but britain, iceland and a couple of african countries that are in it.

GMT is an internationally used time zone.
My zone is GMT -4.

So I'm usually available between 10:00 AM EST and 14:00 PM EST, which would be +5 hours to your time, which would be roughly 20:00 CET, so I guess that'll work for me.

 

[Miss_Foxy]

Omg that's the best ship model I've ever seen for Warcraft III, honestly.
Although your other models are awesome as well

I did'nt see this "KAMIKAZE" Model For Japan
Flying :

Flying Goes to !

Sacrificed :

Meaning

Japan's Kamikaze pilots and their suicide attacks on American warships in the last year of World War 2, remain one of the most terrorizing memories of this war. As I write this essay, three years after terrorist suicide pilots killed thousands in New York and Washington, and as suicide terrorists kill innocent civilians worldwide, it is important to note that history clearly shows, that those who turned to systematic use of suicide warfare, lost their war.

In addition to the Japanese Kamikaze pilots air campaign, the essay also explores other suicide weapons and tactics in World War 2, and the military and cultural rationale of suicide warfare, in order to better understand this type of fanatic threat that the free world is facing once again.

I Wish that map could have :

 

[Miss_Foxy]

That would be a rather nice addon, maybe there could be that in an update

 

[.VTZ.]

@Empire Jackal - lol apocaliptic dude

 

[Fingolfin]

Bugfixes:

*Heavy Bombers can no longer land on carriers.

*Planes will now only try to fly to airfields on the theatre they are in. They will no longer cross the border if they find a close airfied on the other side.

*Added a new upgrade that extends the oxygen capacity of submarines.

*Added starting hints with instructions for each player depending on their faction.

 

[Miss_Foxy]

Oxygen capacity increase, cool.

All Are Awsome !

 

[HOooDy]

Some Questions .... Are You making Zepplin Models ! for this Project .

-
The G-class airship was acquired from Goodyear as a general utility and training ship. Here, the G-1 is being used as a platform for a parachutist.

- A World War II Japanese balloon bomb. Japan released more than 9,000 bomb-bearing balloons beginning on November 3, 1944. It is estimated that nearly 1,000 reached
North America.

- The ZMC-2 shown here on a flight over Washington, D.C. It was the only metal-clad airship.

 

[Miss_Foxy]

Can't wait for the release of the official version, so hyped up already!

 

[Fingolfin]

@Emperor_Jackal: No, i actually think the content we have planned will be final since we are really running out of space. THe only think i could think of would be the ability to upgrade callillope launchers onto individual shermans that gives them a kind of bombard ability.

And btw, don't doubble post!! Edit instead!

 

[Deolrin]

What about the Graf Zeppelin, then? You planned to include it.

 

[RiotZ]

I hope you don't mean literal, Zeppelins, because the Graf Zeppelin was a ship, though I assume you already know this.

 

[Vuormalainen]

There were also zeppelins called that.

Which was was he referring to? I'm really confused now lol.

 

[Deolrin]

Yeah, I'm not very keen on World War 2 stuff. Sorry. I thought you meant a literal Zeppelin. D:

 

[Fingolfin]

lol, i am reffering to the carrier:

It was named after the german count Ferdinand von Zeppelin (graf == count), who also invented the zeppelin and named it after himself.

 

[Miss_Foxy]

Will there be POW camps like in Ham_Ham's map?
It'll be rather nice to have a little extra source of income, kinda forgot if it was already included, sorry... ><

 

[Falafelkorv]

I think you just forgot you post count deadline

 

[HOooDy]

Lets stop spamming ... Try to make this one
UNDERWATER GIANT - In 1942, Japan commenced building the world's biggest submarines. The 400 foot long I-400 series had a displacement of 3,530 tons and were intended to destroy the Pacific exit of the Panama Canal. They could cruise 37,500 miles and dive to a depth of 325 feet. Each of the I-400s could carry three specially designed seaplane bombers which were dismantled and stored in a watertight hanger inside the submarine. Only three were completed before the end of the Pacific war and survived the massive American bombing of Japan's naval bases. All three were captured and destroyed by the Americans in
April, 1946.

This is my favourite :

SUICIDE?

Stalin's son, Yakov Djugashvili, from his first wife Ekaterina, now a 2nd Lieutenant in the artillery corps, was captured on May 16, 1942 and interned in the Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp where he was later shot while trying to escape. (Some sources say he committed suicide by throwing himself at the perimeter fence to force the guards to shoot him) In 1943, an attempt was made by the Germans to exchange Yakov for Field Marshal Paulus who was captured after the fall of Stalingrad. The request was refused by Stalin. Although he grieved for his 36 year old son he is quoted as saying "I will not exchange a private for a Field Marshal".

Over two million Soviet prisoners of war were liberated by the Red Army. All were to suffer at the hands of Stalin who always maintained that Russia had no POWs in German hands. All were considered traitors to the Motherland for allowing themselves to be captured.

 

[Fingolfin]

I've actually been to the sachsenhausen concentration camp, it was pretty creepy. Most of the barracks had been mowed down to be used as a soviet tank parking spot in the war though, but the furnaces, administration HQ and the "prison" was still intact.

I have had suggestions of the I-1400 earlier, and i think it is really cool, BUT, as i stated earlier, we are out of space.

Yeah these concentration camps bring really weird feeling when watching them. I've been to Auschwitz a couple of times, mostly as a guide for my foreign friends. I think it's too cruel and terryfing to just imagine how it looked like. Honestly I wouldn't like to be there in the time of massive murders.

I can't suggest anything more since you're out of space for this map, perhaps some system, minor features but those are things that are needed to be discussed, it would be really good if you made a full list of features. I know it's a lot of text to type but it would prevent people from posting same stuff all the time.

I can suggest aircraft with a working system lol.

 

[Fingolfin]

lol xRiotZx, what do you know about that anyways? :O

 

[RiotZ]

lol xRiotZx, what do you know about that anyways? :O

Well it's pretty easy to produce in fact I've played a few maps with it in them.

 

[Fingolfin]

Not with my system, i assure you. Sure, it has a couple of bugs at the moment, but nothing that can't be sorted before we release.

@PastTime: I will see what i can do about that; we should propably update the first page of this thread with some features aswell.
There is certainly room to add more to WiF though, it is just that some of the models people are suggesting have roles that are a bit to obscure for them to justify the space i have to reserve, now that we don't have that much left.

 

[Miss_Foxy]

I see Fin's got busy lately with expanding the map size, hehe...

 

[WOWWARS]

1 hour dl on 5kb/s this is basicly a mod now.

 

[Fingolfin]

My grandma has faster dl speed than 5kbps.

 

[WOWWARS]

lololol it took a person to DL a 0.86mb map 10 mins with 5kb/s

 

[RiotZ]

I get close to a mbps download speed. D:

 

[clockwork2]

whens the beta coming out?i'm soo excited!

 

[RiotZ]

whens the beta coming out?i'm soo excited!

Yeah!?

 

[Fingolfin]

Very soon.
I will upload images of the Graf Zeppelin shortly. Then it is only the Yak-9 left.
Also, i will let Garfield have a look at my airplane system and see if he can't find out why some planes randomly freeze.

 

[Miss_Foxy]

Heh. So excited about this!

My FAVOURITE JAPANESE ATTACK STYLE

Banzai charge (from the Japanese battle cry "banzai") was a term applied during World War II by the Allied forces to human wave attacks mounted by infantry forces of the Imperial Japanese Army. The name Gyokusai (Japanese: 玉砕, honorable suicide; literally "jade shards") was however used by the Naikaku Johōkyoku (Cabinet Information Bureau) and the media of the Imperial Japanese regime. These attacks were usually launched as a suicide attack to avoid surrender and dishonor or as a final attempt at maximizing the odds of success in the face of usually numerically superior Allied forces.

 

[Fingolfin]

Japanese officers have a "BANZAI" ability, that causes all nearby infantry units to charge with their bayonets/katanas/rifle butts (depending on class)

 

[HOooDy]

Soooooooooooooooooooooooooo ... !! EXCITED About THat ! BLOOOOOOODY !!!

 

[Bugz]

Good luck with project. I am waiting
