Screenshots!

[DarkKnight]

Hmm I do not recocnise the area's, And I already thought you wouldn't have a release date, I just asked in case of ^^

 

[Jumbo]

Very Nice craka, a very good idea since it was a bit "noobish looking" start map in the official demo and that would be a same with the rest of the game being so awsome.
[EDIT] why is the demon hunter in the human start area?

 

[DarkKnight]

Becouse it is one of the alliance? he wanted to visit the humans drink thea, talk a bit, and then slaughter some demons.

 

[Craka_J]

I never said anything about a release date. There is no release date.
The demon hunter is/was being used as the Human Rogue. But now I have replaced almost all of the models for the Humans and Tauren so I'll update the screenshots whenever I get a chance.
The Human selection screen wasn't really aiming for the same WoW screen, but I tried to make the Tauren one look like it. The trees in the background were added to hide some buggy looking stuff in the animated sky.
I'll show you guys the Undead, Night Elf, Dwarf, and Gnome screens once I finish them.

 

[DarkKnight]

Hmm maby that indeed the trees make it look unfamilliar...

 

[Jumbo]

So when are we getting new screenies Craka? ;D

 

[DarkKnight]

New screenshots would be nice... Make some of the best places and things you've got Craka ^^

 

[Craka_J]

Thunder Bluff screenshots

All right! All right! Well... it's barely anything new, but here is two screenshots of the Tauren City, "Thunder Bluff" for those who haven't played the beta to see it; hope you enjoy! :
~Craka_J

 

[Jumbo]

and any new screenies? plz Craka i beg you

 

[DarkKnight]

Lol, I have played the beta but I haven't been in Thunderbluff, Looks realy nice, but where does that, light wall go in the second picture (you know those walls that let you go to a other place)

 

[Sgt. Johnson]

Most likely just from TB to Mulgore, btw Craka I think you have a slight mess up on TB atm.

 

[Craka_J]

Yeah. HernanG made TB and I'm working on touching it up to make it more accurate. But it's nothing major so I'm working on it very slowly.

 

[DarkKnight]

aha, what are you working activly on Craka?

 

[Craka_J]

Ragefire Chasm, Orgrimmar, Durotar here and there, and once THE_END finally finishes the tileset for Undercity and Tirisfal Glades, that'll be my next top priority maps being worked on.

 

[DarkKnight]

And the custom models, how are those commencing?

 

[Craka_J]

Extremely slowly. Don't even think the modellers are a part of the team anymore to be honest.

 

[DarkKnight]

, Once again, Why am I so unskilled....

 

[Mand_470]

Extremely slowly. Don't even think the modellers are a part of the team anymore to be honest.

We all miss Nasrudin...

 

[DarkKnight]

Bleh *me pokes himself*, so, wich models ARE finished?

 

[Craka_J]

So far, months after giving all modellers a list, about two. One is a spell effect for Warlock (Summoning) and the other is a flight of stairs for the Courtyard of Undercity (Ruins of Lordaeron)

So at this rate, almost nothing will be completed within two months.

 

[DarkKnight]

Maby you should give the modelers a kick in the ass ^^. I heard it was pretty damn hard to model nice beautifull things, but there has to be a more efficient way or isn't there?

 

[Craka_J]

Well we used to get models made quite often and quick. Like it'd take a week max to get something done. But now laziness and life gets in the way and time cannot be made to work with Wc3:WoW I guess :'(

 

[Dragon-Knight3]

Wow, excellent, they look like just the game, keep up the good work!!

 

[DarkKnight]

.. c'mon don't be lazy please, (hear who's saying) this project will be something to be proud of, do not let it slow down please =(

 

[Mand_470]

What was the reason for Nasrudin to leave the team? Wasen't he the one, who wanted to continue on Beantony's version of Wc3WoW in the first place..?

 

[DarkKnight]

Oh noes, real life swalowed him!!!

 

[Jumbo]

Its a shame, Nas worked hard on this and then he just leaves, cause of communication problems. Couldnt he just have taken a break ffs -.- !

 

[Craka_J]

Well back then the communication was beyond bad. For instance, only active people out of, lets say, 20 people were Me, Nasrudin, Freakazoid, and HernanG. And if we weren't active, no one was. Forums were never active either. However, it seems things have been moving fast again ever since I became leader. I too wish Nasrudin was back. He was one of the best members in Wc3:WoW history if you ask me, aside from HernanG.

Nasrudin left for serious family problems (lets not get into details) and with the aggrovating activity and communication that Wc3:WoW did not have. So with all the bad stuff hitting him in every corner, he left. I've asked him once or twice to return but he refuses. It is best to respect his decision.
~Craka_J

 

[Jumbo]

ok i didnt knew he had "personal problems" (as we always called it in the wow guild i was in when u couldnt come to a raid ). But now that i do, i will stop asking for him to come back, now that i know hes got a proper reason and not just being "boring".

 

[Pyritie]

Ahh... these screenshots take me back. I can pinpoint most of these and envision what they were like in wow.

Some of them I don't recognise though, but that's probably because I rarely played horde.

Thunderbluff's grassy tile edges look a little funny. Also, those tents look great! Will there be that big lift that gets you up? Or what?

 

[DarkKnight]

, how do you connect a rope between one building and another? is the rope a seperate model, are it two models that are placed perfectly or is it just one model?

 

[Craka_J]

It's nice to hear that some of these places are recognizeable. For the parts that look ugly and hard to remember, I will be working on them more.

Tileset is made by Nasrudin before he quit the team, closest thing to Mulgore that we can get

The lift is very unfortunately not included. :'(

The rope thing you're talking about I believe is just one model.

~Craka_J

 

[DarkKnight]

Ok, And were are the birdy things in the tauren area? ^^

 

[Craka_J]

I fail to understand what you're talking about.
[EDIT]
Oh you mean the totem posts? Well... I'm not sure. Hey! HernanG terrained it and he has never played WoW before so if you spot unordinary things, don't be suprised. However it's good to report these things because I'll try to fix it up and make it more like the actual Thunder Bluff.

 

[DarkKnight]

Uuuh.. I meant the Monsters ^^ Those ostrich sized dodo like things...

 

[Saitek009]

These?

 

[Craka_J]

Oh we have no models for a Plainstrider at the moment. Hopefully we find another good unit modeller very soon!

 

[DarkKnight]

Saitek, no those do not occur in the beginning place of the Tauren... I said ostrich not vulture... and Craka, ok, the beginning spot would need the first custom monster models in my oppinion, becouse thats the part people will see first, so a good first impression is good ^^.

 

[Craka_J]

I understand that but there are NO models of Plainstriders that are not exports on any websites and we have no one who can create a unit model from scratch and do animations. There for, there is a strong chance that the Plainstrider model will be replaced in the next version (a boar as a plainstrider is just retarded) but nothing precisely looking like a Plainstrider.
~Craka_J

 

[DarkKnight]

Aha, maby a ostrich or other bipedal bird...

 

[Pyritie]

...ehich, like he said, there are no models like the sort.

 

[Craka_J]

Exactly. However I believe Saitek has found a model that may be good to use as a Plainstrider. He just needs to reskin it.

 

[DarkKnight]

lol cool, what's the model of?

 

[Saitek009]

It's just going to be a stand in (I think anyways )
But here it is
With a decent reskin it will work temporarily.

Or I could reskin this one if someone who has Sketchup could convert it to .3ds?

 

[Pyritie]

Lol you can't use Sketchup for wc3.

 

[Saitek009]

You can convert Sketchup to 3ds then use gmax to go to mdl then wc3 model to convert to mdx. So it is possible. I just don't have Sketchup

 

[Pyritie]

Really? How do you convert skp to 3ds? But lets not discuss this here. PM me.

 

[DarkKnight]

Plainstriders don't have fore limbs so the first one would be the best ^^

 

[Craka_J]

Agreed with DarkKnight.

 

[DarkKnight]

Oh it feels good if someone agrees with me ^^, but back on topic, lets see... what about some screenshots of custom models?
