Zephyr Contest #15 - Model Based

[Marjosh38]

I'm going to make a spell for Lord Hyperion and Gnome Arcanist

EDIT: Only Gnome Arcanist I didn't read the description XD

 

[Strikest]

I had a question about this part:

Is there a good documentation and are there enough configurable variables to fit the needs of different user?

Do I need to make it configurable for a different model? For example, I want to make my spell sync with the animation timing of the model that I chose. That means if someone were to use the spell with a different model it would look off due to wrong animation timings. Will this affect the score, since the whole purpose of this contest is to make a spell for a specific model.

 

[IcemanBo]

I think as you're right that a model is clearly specified it's legit that you then also specify the animation time, and then the user should also not have powers to config such hardcoded variable.

 

[Strikest]

In that case, I will participate. I choose Shame as my model.

By the way, I'm not sure if you have read the description, but you should only make one spell.

Added entries list in main post.

Oh!.. I forgot about that Thanks. I'm Doing my Gnome Arcanist Spell. Yeah I didn't read the description SORRY XD

 

[KILLCIDE]

Would it be possible if we can get an extension on this deadline? I really want to join, but my schedule is absolute ass right now. I'm hoping to get something started this weekend.

 

[IcemanBo]

Sure if you're at it and will need some more days, it would be ok I guess. Now it's still a good week to go, too.

 

[KILLCIDE]

Hopefully I finish it by the 27th then! I got started on it tonight at the cost of not doing my homework for school I will be using General Frank's Lord Hyperion for my entry!

Spell WIP

 

[Tank-Commander]

I'm going to find some time this week so don't think you guys will get away with having a contest without me!
hopefully will be done before the weekend but if not I have a 24 hour event I'll be at and I'll do it then - should only take me 10 hours or so

 

[Rheiko]

I would like to join but man, it's exam period here. Will try to find time to participate though.
Good luck everyone. ~

 

[Marjosh38]

This contest is extended or not?

 

[IcemanBo]

In case someone sincerly wants and needs it, then I'm the last one who would not extend it. At the moment everything goes regular.

Ahh thanks and tomorrow I'm going to post my SPELL

 

[IcemanBo]

You might want to post a WIP today.

 

[Rheiko]

Hate this thing because of this BLACK OUT in our city and my map didn't save It mean I'm GOING TO START AGAIN XCCCC

Can I Ask if you can extend this contest please

 

[IcemanBo]

@Marjosh38 have you checked your backups folder? In JNGP there is a folder with it -- and in your Warcraft III directory, too, in the maps folder, there is also always one backed up that was tested the last with editor. Maybe you're lucky and can get most of the work.

Yeh, Rheiko \o/.

Yeah I'd just checked it, but in warcraft III directory seems like my save map when it's not yet done. And because also my fault, my progress that I'd made comes into useless

 

[Anachron]

Hey guys,

I'd like to participate and take this model:
Vial Heart

However, 27th March is impossible for me to hold. I'd need another weekend since this weekend is pretty busy.

 

[IcemanBo]

Lets extend it by one week - new finish: 3rd of April GMT (day is included)

Good luck everyone. : )

 

[Anachron]

Wow! That is great News,- that allows me to possibly finish my submission in time.

Does a screenshot count as WIP?

If yes, enjoy this small WIP:

 

[IcemanBo]

Yeh, I guess so, the tooltip gives a good idea of your concept.

For those unaware:
I'm gonna withdraw my entry and apply as a Judge in case nobody else is found within the last 24 hours of the contest.

@IcemanBo
This is not a free ticket for you I still want you to look for a Judge.

 

[IcemanBo]

@NEL , I'm not sure what this is.

@Anachron , thanks for the offer for now, I might think of judging myself, too, before you or someone else could not participate because of it, or noone else wants.

 

[NEL]

I'm done

 

[Fruit Forest]

About the armor reduction. You should use not -1, -2 ,-3....,-10,-11,-12,-13... because of large leveled ability increases loading time, but 1st ability : 0,-1,-2,-3....-9; 2nd ability 0,-10,-20,-30...-90. See? I use only 20 levels (2 abilities with 10 levels of each) but I can achieve -99 armor reduction instead of -30.

So I've created a first playable wip and attached it.

(Not my final entry)

 

[KILLCIDE]

I think Im done with my entry! I just need to debug and make a proper test map this weekend o:

 

[Tank-Commander]

Most of the code infrastructure is done though I've not bolted it together or tested it yet
but here's a teaser image - doesn't really do anything at the moment though due to lack of stuff being bolted together

Edit: physics attached and it works, got to tweak it a little bit but it's a start

Edit: physics attached and it works, got to tweak it a little bit but it's a start

I cant get any concept or alike from the pictures.

 

[Tank-Commander]

well the key parts to the concept won't really be incorporated until the spell is pretty much done, at which point I'd be posting the entry post not WIPs the parts you can see (including the WIP I'm posting here) are the basic element of the spell - the advanced stuff that's going to "complete it" are coming up, it's just essentially the spell windup

eitherway, demonstrating the projectile homing physics of the "seeking" part of my spell, 3 is when the target is found close, 4 is the target found far and 5 is target found at what would probably be considered an average distance, obviously this looks much better in animated form but I'm too busy writing code to bother making GIFs

takes about 1 second to go from "found target" to having all projectiles reach the target

sitting pretty at 500 lines at the moment
Edit: projectile total damage now consistent regardless of the number of projectiles still alive (projectiles die if they leave the search range before a target is found, since projectiles leave the range at a different speed it's possible that some will be dead and a target still found)

Edit2: Alright the spell is mostly complete now visually, I'm going to add a freezing wave effect to the final part (will function like a large AOE stun) which'll give it a bit more "power" visually and effect-wise and then I'll be done. the name I've given it is Apex Blizzard (might change but probably not) and you have a GIF of the main effect (sans freezing wave)

 

[Anachron]

Well it looks good no doubt. But why does it do all of this? Looks like unreasonable eye-candy to me, sorry

 

[Tank-Commander]

well each projectile seeks independently if that's what you're asking, it functions similarly to a skillshot in that regard, majority of the damage is dealt to the primary target so you want the seeking lines to line up with your intended target (and the intended target to be closest, since otherwise it could go in the opposite direction) if none of the seeking lines hit anything then the spell does nothing, of course directly casting it under your target works too, the physics engine allows me to combine the seeking phase with the intended spell effect without creating new projectiles and makes it blend a bit more seamlessly - think you'd be hard pressed to get this specific mechanic with a spell without doing something like this (without it looking a bit daft)
as for why multiple projectiles are on each line this actually gives them a bit more offset - the seeking is 2D (but can hit flying units as well as ground) - and thus a slightly more forgiving seek against mobile targets also plainly yeah looks a lot better than just having flat seek lines

Edit: Uploading my entry to the section, just attaching one of my GIFs here (bit too big for the resource section)
ok done it Apex Blizzard V1.00 (the map name itself is Tank-Commander - Apex Blizzard)

 

[Anachron]

So I got super busy this weekend and I couldn't really work on my spell
But I will try to tidy it up tomorrow.

 

[Thing_I]

Unfortunately I had to return home this weekend (after putting this off for so long.) So my computer was at the dorm while I had a crappy laptop (without WC3 :/) Anyways, please be sure to mention me if another spell contest comes up And I'll be sure to leave reviews for all spells here when it comes time.

 

[IcemanBo]

Anachron, if we had one more day you would do it, or is it something unsure?

 

[Anachron]

IcemanBo I already got it working, just some documentation and code cleanup remaining.

So I try to finish it up this evening. I'm not sure the content should be extended just because I was unexpected busy last weekend :/

 

[KILLCIDE]

The more contestants, the better!
