Screenshots!

[Craka_J]

A bit pointless to be honest, heh... the custom models are easily found in screenshots of the terrain as well anyway.

 

[DarkKnight]

I was just trying to stay on topic ^^, any more interresting places for screenshotting?

 

[Mand_470]

I got a few questions.

1. Will the models used in this mod be downloadable?
2. How are you proceeding with the work on the mod? Are the members doing a good job?
3. Got any release date of the next demo? (Ol' bugger question)

 

[DarkKnight]

2nd question actualy were two ^^, I think they said that you couldn't download them (I think no they are going to publish them neighter)

 

[Craka_J]

1) Some will be. Others won't be. Some are already exportable, but you will suffer consequences if exported without permission. Perhaps later in the future they might all be released. Definately not promising that though.

2) The progress on the mod is usually fairly fast. At the moment it's moving at average/slow speed, but once I find a GOOD site to upload large files to for others to download (Rapidshare, Filefront, and Yousendit.com all suck and have extremely horrible bandwidth.) then I can pass the mod to triggerer, Saitek, who will fix many bugs, add couple systems, and add some other stuff as well. The team has been quite active and eager for their turn to work on the mod. Progress with communication and actually getting things done is going pretty well too; although it could certainly be better.

3) No release date still. I actually don't have any predictions of the next open beta because we want to include so much more new stuff and fix as many bugs as possible, that way it really impacts the fans of Wc3:WoW and gives a good strong WoW feel. A friend of mine said that I should definately release it during Christmas time... and I just might do that! So look forward to Christmas for an extra present!
Will it be released before Christmas or have a chance of that happening? Definately not! Too much work to get done at the moment to even think of the possibilities.

Should you expect screenshots of new areas? Well I'm going on vacation starting August 1st and after that progress on terrain won't be moving at all. But after I come back, I'll try to get some shots of Elwyn Forest and maybe RFC as well up.

PS: I'm going on vacation starting August 1st. I'll be gone for two weeks. I may be able to get on THW though and be able to answer your questions and so on...

[DarkKnight]

Have a good vacation ^^, lets just hope internet works there ^^.

 

[Saitek009]

Please send me the campaign before you go or I'll have nothing to do while you're gone
sigh...
Slow Summer

 

[Craka_J]

You will get the mod before I leave, don't worry. Just work on it as often and as hard as you can!!!

At the moment it's moving at average/slow speed, but once I find a GOOD site to upload large files to for others to download (Rapidshare, Filefront, and Yousendit.com all suck and have extremely horrible bandwidth.)

http://4shared.com? They can do everything up to 50MB each file, and you get 1GB of space... I use it for my campaign (which is severely pushing the 50MB limit >.=.<)

 

[Mand_470]

May you have a great vacation, wherever you are going Craka.

Please send me the campaign before you go or I'll have nothing to do while you're gone

Slow Summer

Try to download some free games on the internet. I do that when i'm bored and it is raining.

 

[DarkKnight]

so no new screenies before you leave on vacation?

 

[Craka_J]

I'm afraid not.

 

[Jumbo]

well good vacation from me too, btw im going to scotland on friday so i wont be here neither

 

[DarkKnight]

Hmm.. I'm beta tester, I guess I cannot post any screenshots for you? ^^ (on request...)

 

[HappyTauren]

about exportable models, models made by nasrudin wont be exportable, while my,mc!'s and others WILL be exportable. DO NOT EXPORT NAS' MODELS OR U DIE!!

 

[DarkKnight]

lol, I never mis-use maps so why would I start now? (exept for the fact it's the best campaign ever made but then still I wouldn't do it ^^) I haven't even opened the campaign in the World editor, just for respect for the map ^^.

 

[HappyTauren]

i didnt want to sound mean anyway, thats just me

 

[Craka_J]

Here's a fun addition to the pain if you disobey our simple request:
If you export anything from Wc3:WoW without permission from the leader of Wc3:WoW, not only will you be banned from the forum (http://z4.invisionfree.com/war3wow) and IP banned from the multiplayer version's servers, but you'll also recieve negative reputation points for your disrespect for Wc3:WoW and it's creators.

We're not saying that you're trying to take advantage of Wc3:WoW. But it's also a warning to all whom may dare to steal it or something. Although you'll need to be beyond stupid to steal Wc3:WoW from it's original team and say you made it with your own team since we've got years of proof that we've been making it ourselves lol

Tomorrow I leave very early and may not be able to answer questions for a while, but do feel free to ask anything you'd like and if you have a bug to report, please, do not hesitate to report it to our email at: [email protected], I will check the email atleast twice during my vacation.

[DarkKnight]

aha, I didn't thought you sounded mean anyway, altrough I couldn't hear you... oh well.. ^^ anyone has something to say on topic on this topic?

 

[Craka_J]

For some odd reason, in Valley of Wisdom, Thrall is on top of the roof of his building in Wc3:WoW, instead of inside the building... I'll fix it when I can.

 

[DarkKnight]

, may I make a screenshot of that and post it? ^^

 

[HappyTauren]

hahaha ! xD Craka,that house is walkable, uncheck "walkable" in that house's obj data xD

 

[DarkKnight]

hey... that might help me with my map too ^^ thanks HT ^^ so, may I make a screenshot of Thrall standing on the roof and post it?

 

[HappyTauren]

well, i dont see why would you do that

 

[DarkKnight]

lol ^^ I'll do it as soon as I get the time.

 

[Jumbo]

actually im pathing the houses in my campaign orpg so that u can run on the roof, i plan on making some thiefing q's where you sneak from roof to roof or something xD

 

[DarkKnight]

Yea well, then try to make it possble to get on the roof and in a house ^^. then you have done something great...

 

[Pyritie]

Just change the flying height.

 

[DarkKnight]

... ok WCIII:WoW team, The dragon has spoken ^^ pretty good idea if I'm right... but you've got to do it just right...

 

[HappyTauren]

enterable buildings would raise the doodcount,. and would produce lag, because they aren't rendered same way like in wow.

 

[DarkKnight]

I know you can do it ^^.

 

[Jumbo]

lol u dont need to raise height, u just make your own path, and check the "walkable" box and then u got a building where units can run on the roof.

 

[Pyritie]

Yes, we... kinda know that. We were seeing how to make it so units can go on the roof AND go inside the building.

 

[DarkKnight]

Jup, and Pyritie said, by making him fly (or her ^^)

 

[Saitek009]

Good news about the plainstrider I've found this model.
I'm gonna reskin and do some small remodeling on it and it should work perfectly.
Thanks you SinisterX and Olofmoleman for the work that they've done.

Screenshots coming soon!

 

[DarkKnight]

Hmm. could indeed be very usefull... shoot the rider off, reskinning isn't necesary becouse it's just a temporary replacement... Good job Saitek ^^.

 

[Saitek009]

Here's the long story:
Olofmoleman made a Dino model. I'm not sure which one it was, but it was probably the Velociraptor.
SinisterX took that model and turned it into the Hawkstrider.
I took the Hawkstrider and turned it into the Plainstrider.
Anyways, thanks to Olofmoleman and SinisterX!

Now that I'm done with that I can start working on triggers again!
I'll submit it to resource section later.

Hmm. could indeed be very usefull... shoot the rider off, reskinning isn't necesary becouse it's just a temporary replacement... Good job Saitek ^^.

Oh, but I think reskinning is neccesary
Just take a look


So, what do you think?

 

[Craka_J]

Fantastic job! +rep!

 

[DarkKnight]

Indeed Good job, I didn't think it would be that much allike, altrough (sorry for criticizing ^^) it could use some hair hanging from his head, like the other striders have too, still, It's awesome ^^. ok, Problem solved ^^.

 

[HappyTauren]

hm.. it is great but a skin is bit plain. I might try to reskin it.

 

[DarkKnight]

All for the sake of WCIII:WoW ^^.

 

[Craka_J]

The skin may need a bit more detail. The color looks too solid. But it still looks great and suprisingly accurate
~Craka_J

 

[DarkKnight]

but you still need to add the 'hair' that is hanging from it's neck (forgot how it's called ^^)

 

[penny89108]

I Think U Did A Dam Good Job

 

[HappyTauren]

I could reskin it only once i got some time.

 

[Karzvitch]

It's nice, but like everyone else said, the skin is bad ;/

 

[DarkKnight]

The eyes don't look right...

 

[Craka_J]

Yeah HT, try to make a skin for it. If his is better then we'll leave it to him to improve it
~Craka_J

 

[DarkKnight]

We shal see what happens ^^

 

[Saitek009]

Yes, I admit it the texture isn't very good.
I was just treating it as I side project that I wanted to get done before I started triggering, so it kind of got rushed. I might feel like finishing it later but for now HT, feel free to finish it.

Craka_J, I don't think someone who removed a few Geosets and moved around 20 polys on a model should really be credited for modeling.
I didn't add anything to that model I just worked with the existing polys.
So could you please change my status on the website from "Modeling Units" to either "Remodeling" or "Reskinning"?

HT you could also add the hair hanging down from the head if you wanted to.

Goin' try to finish some major bugs and adding system this week.

Later,
-Saitek
