Wrath of the Trolls

Although I am not part of the project, I stongly recomaend it. You know my reasons.
I'm just trying to be helpful. I'll admit I took quite a liking to this project. Don't ask why.

It was not posted there. I whould know-I go there all the time these days.

Question: Am I still a terrainer for this mod? If I am, I say we go wc3mf or SAMODS. Wc3c is like packed full of mods, and a thrid of them are inactive.

I would still like for Doublehex and Rebelhero to help with terrain and maybe others to help too. I would like someone to look over my maps when I finish so if I have any mistakes they can be found and fixed.

I have some good news by the way, I talked to Rust3d and he said he might be able to help with cinematics which would be great. He also said he can do terrain too which is just more goodness.

Now for w-a-r-m-o-d-f-o-r-g-e, If its the same site that hosted the beta I dont know about hosting our Mod there. I dont know why wc3c and wmf dont like eachother but I went to their site and sensed that for some reason they dont like eachother. I see why you wouldnt want to be hosted here with so many hosted projects not moving along and all. I never even noticed CotN till I read about it in the wc3c magazine (which I thought was good by the way) because I dont have the time to go through site by site and see which projects are worth following and not. I would personly like to be hosted here one of my reasons is its a big site. We could also try www.warcraftiii.net also I know they host too. If you want I'll ask stooned about being hosted and stuff. I think what we need to do if we get hosted on this site, is seperate us from all the other hosted projects that dont move along. We can do this by constantly posting new work, answearing peoples questions, and giving people something to look forward to do.

So basicly I'd like to try to be hosted her first and if for some reason we cant (which I dont know see why we couldn't since we have lots of people and it seems like we have the support too) then we can go to other sites to look. Id also like to thank Kyanou for the support hes shown and he hasnt even become a part of the campaign.

heres something I have been working on, its for the opening cinematic.

I've been thinking that maybe I could help you guys. Perhaps not as a full time member but more like a merc if you see what I mean.
I can do a few cins for you.
Since it is happening in Quel'Thalas I could help you make a custom tileset for it.I did it before and I can do it again.
I also did the High Elves race.I can also do them for you guys.
And maybe a few terrains as well.

It's only if you want. But like I said I might (note might) not be a full time member. I'm not asking for credits or anything. if I help you guys it's cause I want to.

Your choice.

if m-o-d-f-o-r-g-e is the one that hosted that evil sheet i wouldn't really enjoy going there, anyway i think it would be best to get hosted here although i'm not sure if we can, anyway about the screeny for the cinamatic scrub, i'm not too keen on it, its suposed to be on in qualthalas(or however you spell it) not in kalimdor as the trees and terrain suggest(i didn't mean any offence here and i hope i didn't course any as i know not much about terraining my self as all i ever do is mostly new race versions of blizzard maps with exeption of my current "under the mountain" melee map, and i belive i'm going off topic:knife: )

anyway heres a idea for you to feed to the dogs(or cats or fish or whatever animal you have as a pet)

Name: Thunderbird Rider
Misc: i don't know much about attachments or any other thing about skinning/moddeling but i'd think you could do this by re skinning the phoenix and mounting a forest troll on it.
Notes: a troll mounted on a semi wild thunderbird, these riders being trained at cliffs by forest trolls so they follow command.
Abilities:
Lightningstrike: target unit gets 45 damage and is stunned for 21 seconds.
Echo Axe: attack jumps from one enemy unit to an other neaby enemy unit(like the huntress thing).

comments ???

About mounting... Im not sure if its possible but I came across it today. If you use effects when a certain unit is spawned through triggers U might be able to put a troll on the back of a phoenix so it would seem as if it was riding the phoenix, I would suggest Alpha-ing out the Bat from the bat rider for example and using it as an effect. But, I dont think a phoeinx would be the ideal flying unit for the trolls.. How about the naga windserpent or the human flying unit.

And btw, I have a goblin unit.. maybe someone will be nice enough to edit it so that it can be used for mining or woodchopping. Another nice idea: a sort of troll slaver. A BIG troll with some kind of aura that increases the speed of gold/wood gathering. Or if you want to keep them nice make it a buolding.. a bar? :) hmm beer.. :P

BTW... dont you think a 21 second stun is a tad to long?

Well, never knew that thing about m-odforge, but now that I do, I might reconsidder getting hosted there, and with our still growing team we might get hosted here.
Kyanou, yes you can be in the team if you want as a correcting terrainer (who corrects stuff in the maps that the other terrainer make), if so the team will now look like this:

Scrub - primary terrainer, (idea guy)
Sypher - skinner
Sen'jin - idea guy
Mr.SèlfDéstrùct - triggerer
Knight of Ni - project leader, spell editor
Kyanou - terrainer
Doublehex - terrainer
RebelHero - terrainer

please, everyone on the list, tell if you are really in and if you have any other skills, since we will need all of them (and I'm sorry if I didn't list all of them, but it would take too long to read through the entire thread).

Do you guys want me to do that custom terrain for Quel'Thalas or not?

Here it is, a rough alpha.. (nope.. not beta). It WILL need some animating because it has to lose the walk animation. During my testing it walked when it moved. Maybe the troll has to be placed a little higher so it would seem as if he was standing (Dont you think trolls would be the warcraft Surfers/Skaters) And the Echo Axe has to be done cuz.. I tried moon glaive but it didnt work. I'll change the cooldown of the thunder charge 2. Then there has to be some editting in the skins (I'll do that as soon as everybody thinks its good) and the buttons, I'll do those 2. Tell me what you think.

Almost forgot. Ni, I can do some skinning too.. Actually I like skinning even more then terraining.. :) I'll do both if its ok with you.

Here are some more.. and added some extra cool units. Mammoth Rider (can be changed to: Bear rider, Turtle rider etc...) and Goblin Chucker (how about adding blood effect and changing the unit to a giant. Lets play some baseball.. :)

Really good, but sometimes, the troll's feet go through the animal they're riding. But there's nothing you can do about that.

I dont know what tile set to use but its ok I can convert all I did to Lordaeron Summer.

I like the idea of a new tile set. We could reuse some of the old doodads from other tile sets and maybe if we get a moddeler they can make some new doodads for it too. I've been playing around with Gmax lately and I can make some realy basic things (so far I have made a rock and mushroom) but nothing good enough to realy contribute to the project.

For the thunder rider could you make the birds skin a darker color? It might just be me but I think itd look good if it was darker so you could easly see which is the troll and the bird. You could make him a darker color and for story reasons you could say that when they are held captive they turn a darker color.

edit: what tile sets can I use for making stuff? The one that I posted up higher was Felwood then I made one with Lordaeron Summer but that one looks to bright and happy so I was wondering if maybe Ashenvale would work.

Hey, are we being hosted at mod-forge, because when i whent there, i saw in the Hosted Campaigns/on-trials area Wrath of the Trolls.So, are we being hosted there?

Ok, now we're screwed.

I thought we were still up in the air of wethor or not we'd be hosted there.
