General Discussion on the MMORPG for Wc3

Mr.Safety
Well, I've finished making some adjustments to the Legendary Heroes bit. I've merged it in with the proposed story line. So here it is. With the changes made, it will be possible to choose out of 72 possible models. This due to the fact that each race usually has a couple models for each hero class.

Give it a read and tell me what you think.

I'm setting up the variables (with the proper names) so we can store them into the password, There's:

Needs:
CurrentHeroEXP
CurrentHeroStrength
CurrentHeroAgility
CurrentHeroSpeed
CurrentHeroConstitution
CurrentHeroWisdom
CurrentHeroWeapons (upgrade value, increases attack damage, like steel forged swords)
CurrentHeroArmor (upgrade value, increases armor, like leather armor)
Item Slot 1
Item Slot 2
Item Slot 3
Item Slot 4
Item Slot 5
Item Slot 6
(Possibly spells aswell, depends if we do it custom or not)

Don't Needs:
Hero Level
Hero HP
Hero MP


That's all we need for storing it, we don't need to store the hero level because I have a trigger that checks your EXP, then checks the CAP of the next level exp, and if it's larger it will refresh, and will continue to loop until it is correct.

FyreDaug, just send me the message and I'll FWD it to Dakan.

--EDIT--
By the way, what do you think of the Hero ideas?

Dakan keeps coming online, but he doesn't post anything.....

I'll just post the PM here.

You must be missing the obvious here, first of all, the lowest stats are 1, so they have to stay there, but with damage and what not, we can still play with base damage, dice etc. Leaving the armor at 2, will put it to 0 in the game (since agility [I think] adds defence, it can also subtract defence if it's low enough)

We add an item that adds 1 damage, remove it, they have a plus 1 bonus.
For armor it's the same thing.

(didnt mean to sound rude, sorry)

Ok, for multiplayer you cannot change the fact that if a hero gets 1 pt into strn they get +1 min/max dmg and +25 life and +0.05 to life regen, same with agil and intel, there is no changing that...

Now i can see how we can make a item that gives +2 to life or mana and give that to the hero, then remove it and the hero keeps that bonus (item bug) same with the life regen and mana regen. and setting a hero to 0 0 0 for agil strn intel would rule out any regen or mods at all.. thats good

But how do you give a hero damage or armor

Giving them a item that will give +2 dmg will show 0-0 +2 for damage or 0 +4 for armor

that part i dont follow....

5 more characters, damnit, I thought there were more than 32 symbols, I was thinking 48 for some reason. SHIT!

We need 100 to work off of, unless we start stats at minimum of 1 and a max of 95, but limits customizability ALOT. If we do hex, then that increases password length by twice as much since we have to use 2 digits. No matter what we do it's limited to 95 characters for a single digit, and obviously we don't want that.
Now if we use HEX, that increases the limit to 255, which in turn is better than double the single digit numbers.

I'm assuming you do know and understand HEXADECIMAL values right? I think I can write something up on how to break it up, but how do you want it to work? like a=1 n=F o=10, something like that?

Ran into a brick wall going about 95 mph......

i got the new password system converted. now uses all 32 sysbols on the keyboard, 0-9, a-z and A-Z and a space... 1 problem........

thats only 95.. we gotta work in base 10, 100, or 1000

i need 5 more chars somehow to make base 100 doing base 50 will be 2 ****in hard for breaking apart 2-3 or 4 digit numbers. This is going to be complex, but i dont wanna spend hours working on 1 function here... unless im gettin paid for it =P

if you can give me an algothithm for breaking a multiple digit number up into single digits using hex, that will save me some time here cuz my brain is a little fried right now, im going back to doing some terrain....

I've been working on terrain also, how is that password coming along now that I gave you the variables needed?

My modified tileset is this:

LgrsLdrtLgrdYhdgXbtlVstpLrokBdrhLdrgNdrdYblmYsqdYrtlYwmbVcrpVgrt

Download the Tiles List from my site in my sig to find out what they all are, but it's 16 tiles, and Dakan I suggest you do the same, use Zepir's and you can import 16 tiles into your map, even ones you normally can't add (cliff tiles), but they do add their own cliffs in the cliff editor thing, but just ignore them, it will only show up 2 extra.

Okay, I perfected a little town, with a nice cemetary and doodads set. I don't feel like doing screenshots right now, but I'll tell you it looks really nice.

I'll post up some 2mora from my free FTP server for you all.

1/2 of the frozen desert is now complete...

There will be only 1 town away from the main land in this one, the frozen vally part (enclosed in the mountainous area) will have 1 town of friendly orges, the other land will be more open and contain more towns but spread out

FyreDaug
Have you used modified tilesets with up to 16 tiles?
02-17-2003, 04:54 PM#58
DaKaN
i checked it out, but dont need it for the frozen desert yet. I will probly import most of the cityscape ones for the grass trim, and other floor tiles

Ok cool, I sent you a PM about a spell system we could do, but it would take lots of work and I'm willing to do it, if what I asked is possible.

Hello, I think this will be a great map guys. I was wondering also when you finished if possibly you would make a tutorial on your password game cache save hero thing so people can use it also. I figure an awesome map like that will be protected so if you could make tutorials on how you did that it would be awesome =)
