Heh, so much for trying to keep the thread alive =p

I released a beta version for the prelude/demo map, tell me what you think!

Quote:

(YAY!)

The version I'm releasing here is a beta version of the Prelude (the 1st of 2 maps). The bulk of it is done, but there's still some things that need to be made.

I'm going to allow multiplayer testing, but only if it's hosted privately (meaning not a public game). Be warned though, there is a lag problem that hasn't been fixed yet. And of course there's always singleplayer. Make sure to give feedback if you play it =)

Unfinished things:

- The Power Suit model needs to be animated and edited, so it's been left out completely (and replaced by an orc shaman, ghoul, and/or a seal =/). You can still see the model in the intro though. *Animator(s) wanted!*

- The ending is not done. When you get to the last boss room, it's just a dead end with a congratulatory note... But it's still fun getting there =]

- Some skins are unfinished, or just non-existant (see the skins thread to find out which ones), and I'm still looking for skinners.

- Balancing; It hasn't been tested much yet, so some things might be pretty unbalanced. Or maybe not, I dunno.

- There's memory leaks, and sometimes lag - I'll probably need another triggerer to help, since I'm not too good at that kind of thing.

- It might be pretty hard to learn, any suggestions for how to make it easier for beginners to learn would be great.

- Rambling: I just keep rambling about the map... ok, now I'm done.

One more thing that I forgot: as far as I know, wc3 crashes if you try to load a saved game. I'd like to fix this eventually too (but don't have any clue how), especially since the game length could last more than an hour.

Kelna2	Hmmm much better than the old demo teh layout of the game is much better. teh cut scene at the beggining was cool. i liek how you can choose not to have the camera locked to your character. for some reason i would always have water slowing my character, even when i was obviously nowhere near water. And my name isn't in the credits

...But I forgot to add you to testing, so I added it now =)

The water problem I have no clue why it does that, but it's pretty rare. Right now the only way to stop the bug is to die, but now I'll make it so the bug stops when you go through a door.

And I really thought I had added the download to the first post, I'll add it again...

REVIVED!!!

Now that that's out of the way, here's what's been going on with the project:

- Improvements all over the place, the next version will be a huge improvement from the last. Removing the lag and memory leaks is just the beginning. The action is faster, hp stuff much more balanced, much better control, a few more items, nicer tileset (and some other skins), and a whole bunch of other stuff.
- A new version of the map will be released as soon as I can fix a few bugs and test it online. Ideally I'd be done tommorow, but you know how stuff happens...
- The player model is in the process of being animated by Metal Sonic 64, although it won't be in the next version.
- The final boss is in progress, but won't be in this upcoming version either. The version after that one will most likely have the final boss and ending, and the power suit model, and be the last beta before the completed Prelude (Demo) map.

Glad to see wc3C is back, and Merry Christmas to all!

Metal_Sonic64	I've been a bit slack (not to mention busy), so I'll see what I can get done on the Power Suit while I'm on holidays :)

Looks like my last post here got erased, oh well.

Here's finally the new version, please give feedback if you play it

Quote:

Again, the last boss and player model aren't in this version, but everything else is pretty much done (but give suggestions for changes anyway!). Make sure not to host it as a public game on bnet. If you're playing singleplayer, the loading unfortunately still doesn't work =( It will probably take a MAXIMUM of 1.5 hours to finish solo, so do not start unless you intend to finish (like Jumanji =\).
