I prefer number 1... how about reviving the hero in the hometown?
Number 2 is really hard to make, even it is possible.

I succeeded in making paladin's undead mastery ^_^

I have another features implemented. Another item in multiboard, 'Score'. Each time we finished the quest, we'll get a score, an easy quest will give 1, a hard quest will give higher score.

Something strange with the weather triggers. It didn't work, try to find what's wrong.


I've been thinking of our first release...
what will be included there?
These are some of my ideas:
- 2 playable races, orc and nightelf
- 4 playable classes, warrior, shaman, hunter, and rogue.
- Western Region area is playable
- A few tradeskills: Blacksmith, Leatherworking, Alchemy, Herbgathering, Skinning
- a number of quests

My current progress:
+ Implementing paladin's abilities into master trigger

double post sorry:

to do with the demo and such i can make sure that people beyond wc3campaigns know about our project. i will notify my clan UMC and make sure they spread the word and i have a few battle.net bots that i can use as advertisement. infact i know this sounds really cocky but how bout ill be in charge of advertising etc? once were ready ill make a web site for us and that way people could go there and down load it.

what u think?

I actually were searching for one who can build a website for us ^_^
well, i've found one here, right in the team
I really want to have a website that provide our... fans? with our project info, like classes info, places info, the system, etc.

Advertising? well, how about finishing the triggers and kalimdor first? I don't want make them waiting too long if you started your advertising now. I still have to do priest, warlock, and druid skills. Blacksmithing, Leatherworking, and Cooking aren't done also. But, all the systems like quests and equipment system are done. And the bad thing is... my WE is slowing down because there are too many custom items, custom abilities, and triggers. And even with almost all of the system done, I still have a long way to go with the triggers. If you want to do the advertising, it's up to you then. Just don't make them dissapointed for waiting to long ;)

Btw, did you all know that our hero in our project can use only a weapon, an armor, and another type of equipment? ^_^

KingGigli, is your new barrens done already?

Current progress:
+ Doing druids abilities
+ Done with paladin's abilities

WEEE!!!! well barrens is done just looking and killing any bugs (one of the bugs was the large bunnys hopping around dont ask) and i made another cave!!! its a great place for items and quests its a dark troll cave

story line: a band of peacefull trolls wandered into the barrens in search of shelter they then found a cave that had enough water and food to keep them going to generations to come.

these trolls will be friendly to all classes and races!!! dont forget that and just before i send it over here are some screenies!!!

(p.s. one of the quests should be investigating the night elf like statues on a small island in the pond, do i smell a large quest?)

damned double post:

ya i wont advertise untill we have a demo ready.





ALSO!!!

IDEA:

I was just fooling around in this old map of mine where my friend added third person and first person camera for ur character and i added a few things and i made a huge battle. the thing is it was amazing because there were people around me fighting while my character was fighting also it was incredible.

so for WoW Project i thing there should be a huge battle every once and a while and u can take part in it because that was amazing, can u just imagine a priest tending to a few warriors behind teh lines? or a mage teleporting reinforcments to a area of the feild??? just and idea and since i was bored (took a break from barrens and stone talon peak) i made a large feild that can have units added to it!!! i thought that it was so cool and i think you guys would to!

Yeah, I saw that strange-looking bunny also. I wonder what is he doing in the middle of the barrens? ^_^

yep, you're right. I've been thinking of that thing also, a great "player vs player" battlefield. Hmmm, where should we put them? somewhere in the ashenvale?

To All:
If you have a good first-person or third-person camera system, feel free to upload it to our account. I think I have a problem using mine while I'm in the cave or dungeon. thanks. I'll try to add it to our custom cam system.


Current progress:
+ Doing druids abilities

That battle idea was great, because there are battles like it in WoW, but with creeps lol, if you dont go to the PvP server where clans and guilds can battle against eachother and use siege engines and stuff like that. THe core idea of those battles is of course the same that melee games have, BURN THEIR BUILDINGS TO GROUND!
It truly would be rly damn cool, when you are marching to battle and you hear your enemy's battlecries in the wind, and after a while you can see their army rushing towards you, your friends begin the charge as well and while seige weapons are being loaded the warriors of the battling factions clash together. Now the catapults are ready to fire, and the sky starts to rain icy shards above the enemy forces, the wizards have channeled their spells and the priests have come to heal the wounded. The Enemy forces are retreating because those mongrels got scared of the wizards mighty blizzard!
Lets put those battles in our project! There could be 2 types of battlefields, Open Battlefield (without bases) and just the normal Battlefield where the core idea is to crush the enemy village/town. The Location where the battle is would of course affect the map tilest. If the battle is in Stranglethorn Vale against the trolls there would be of course Jungle Terrain and their village would be a small ancient temple city, or if you are in massive crusade to northrend with thousands of men it would be in a huge frozen plains with those icy spires and webbed rocks around.
How does that sound? o_O

Same here.


Btw, I have to redo Shaman's Ghost Wolf skill, because it doesn't work. I'll make it as a trigger based abilities. I'll do this with Druid's Lycantrophy also. I decide to make a set of skill for each of them. I'll need some idea with Ghost wolf and Druid's Bear Form abilities.

^_^ It seems the PvP area will be a good feature for our project. Esp. with Draenei's idea, with warcries everywhere a great battle between two sides, yeeehawwww! Btw, nice scenario of battle.

Draenei, if you're done with your task, can you write a scene for our cinematics preview?

Current Project:
+ Busy with homework (something like that), can't do map making today

Well, I've done half of the 2nd ashenvale map, the Open Battlefield for ashenvale and sent it to our yahoo account if we need it later. Btw tell me if its too small ill make bigger one
Me make a script for a cinematic? Well eh, im not a good in making that stuff, but I could of course try..
Here's a little story I wrote for my WarCraft D&D campaign (its just part one so more will come), it could be the base for a large quest in azeroth and lordaeron:

Okay, I've seen all the new maps.

KingGigli:
Well, your barrens hasn't changed yet (or maybe I downloaded a wrong file, sorry if I did that) so I do some retouch with your Barrens, is it okay with you? Your human camp submap, I think it's too small. Are they hostile? If they are, it'll be an ambush or something like that. I mean, they were too near to the cave entrance. I love your Troll's cave, cool, a humid cave in barrens

Draenei_Seer:
Your barrowden is excellent, I think. ^_^ Your ashenvale battle field, It's okay with the size. But If you can make larger, it'll be better ;) Your script? Gonna look into it.

Btw, thanks to KingGigli for starting a thread for quest ideas. We already got almost tons of quests.

As soon I finished with shaman's Ghost wolf form skill, I'll upload the Next Version of our demo.

Features:
+ multiboard added
+ Smarter AI for NPCs
+ Added class abilities for all NPCs
+ All types of Warrior, Rogue, and Shaman are available, while hunter only one.
+ Mark of "something" give an overhead buff to our hero
+ Fixed weather system...... (Not sure about this one)

Current progress:
+ Doing some retouch with Barrens (b'cause doing abilities all the time is really boring)

Ay sir! Ill make it bigger!
Oh btw, because the guys are in the Defias Brotherhood it has to be for baddies, so if we put those "respect points" that some guy replied in KingGigli's poll "what do you want out of a map" thread, we could make characters to decide will they be legends with many medals from honourable quests or as a villain who steals artifacts, raids caravans or assassinates important persons.
By they way, the text mentions the organization "Sons of Gul'dan" its my becoming clan on wow, and I've already planned all background for it! I also mentioned something about it in my cancelled project WarCraft World Open RPG.

Sons of Gul'dan:

In the peaceful times when the orcs lived in trives, hunting pigs and just had fun.. Darkoll Wolfgrim, a seer from a small orcish tribe saw a vision, a vision from big red ugly monster rushing towards their lands in a huge red chaotic twisting fiery dimension. He kept it as a secret from the others. Years after, the demons entered the world of draenor, it was a healthy world with full of happy and barbaric native greenskins. Soon, that whole happy race was corrupted and turned into a bloodlusted race with their only joy anymore was to kill and torture. They were sent to Azeroth by the dark portal. In those times, the warlock apprentice of Ner Zul called Gul'dan, was rising to power! After some time, he founded his own clan, the Stormweaver Clan, and formed the Shadow Council, he welcomed Darkoll into this mysterious council of Warlocks. (Now skipping some time)
While the 2nd war raged, Gul'dan took his clan and the Shadow Council to the Tomb of Sargeras, where the creator's of the Burning Legion's cursed soul was being held and entombed by the guardian Aegwyn.
Gul'dan fell painfully to the dreadful tomb's guardians, but Darkoll survived luckily, by falling into a pit, but after a time found a way out. After the 2nd war he went to his home in Draenor and started to write those stupid books about the once powerful Gul'dan and his warlock magics.
Soon he heard the call of power, he reforged a mighty alliance between the remaining warlocks and demon worshipping orcs and founded the Sons of Gul'dan, soon he overtook Outland from the Naga and Blood elf remnants and drove the draenei back to their caves.
Now he can call himself proudly as an apprentice of the mighty Gul'dan...




So, if we gonna include the Outland into our campaign, (I hope we do) we should make it under the Sons of Gul'dan's control. So he would sit in his dark throne in the even more mighty (from Illidan's times) bastion of black citadel.

sounds like a good idea! and we gotta remember illidan is dead! anyways are we gonna have the two goblin cities (booty bay and the other one) if we do i can get some friends to do it (i did a goblin city challenge in terrainers a while ago)
