Join my WW2 map making team

well i got a way to transport units that you can use. its basiclly putting a goblin zeplin into a goblin zeplin. ive attached a map that shows what its like.

Greetings... VonGimli, I'll send all my icons to your mail on Friday.... If you need anything to make just send me a PM...

I am going to make them be able to hold 15. Thats quite enough, if not too much. And put a zepplin in a zepplin? That may be useful in other ways. I am thinking of having air units have a limited time they may be out. They would be able to "land" on carriers or airports. When they were in, they would recharge mana (fuel). They would slowly lose mana while in the air.

I am posting new instead of editing because this post is important.

I need all current members of the team to send me an email ([email protected]) or a PM on your current progress with your assignments. All except Artur_ka, because i already know how he is doing, he posted everything to here :D All except his chat program, which i guess he will have to email/pm me about.

I would ask though that you not post here, because otherwise we may have people stealing our ideas. We need to be a little more secretive with our project. Although the games style of play, units, buildings, etc. will be shared, the models, skins, maps, icons, etc. will not be shared. At the moment at least. They soon will be once we get a little farther along.

We are going to get this team much more organized, currently i have been letting everyone a little loose, and know i cant get contact from anybody. In the PM should also include if you have AIM (AOL Instant Messenger), MSN Messenger, mIRC, or any combonation of those 3. We will be deciding which chat program we will use for meetings.

Also, all team members will have to check the website (www.geocities.com/warcraft_ww2maps) regularly for updates on jobs, new members, changes in map, and important facts (like this post).

IF YOU DO NOT PM/EMAIL ME WITHIN 5 DAYS, YOU WILL BE KICKED OFF THE TEAM. If you do get kicked off, i will allow you to state your reason for inactivity, and if it is something like your comp was down for a week or something, i will accept that. If it is something like "I didnt check" or "I didnt know" then dont even bother!

New IRC channel for our team will be #wc3ww2

Be sure to idle there, and anyone with questions for the team, or wants to join the team, go there and talk to us about it.

i dont have IRC, i have MSN and AIM tho, do i have to PM or Email you?
World Map:
Terrain: 70% complete
Nothing else.

Hi... VinGimli... I have only MSN Messenger on my comp...

And your site is really cool... Good job!:D

do i have to PM/email beacus im just the ideas guy?

No tetris, you are not techically part of the team... But if you check the bottom of the team member page on our website i have a special thanks for you and your ideas :D

Also, i suggest (not force) that all members get mIRC (www.mIRC.com) because we will use that for contact with people outside of the group. Remember, channel in IRC is #wc3ww2 Idle in the channel (i would hope you know what idle means :D)

I am going to create a members only page on the website, i will PM you all with the password. This page will have all of the stuff you guys need to see on the site. All of the other pages just explain the game.

Also, it looks like MSN is going to be the official meeting program, so any people who dont have it should get it. I chose this because it seems that everyone so far has it.

Also, what do you guys think about a Chemical Soldier? Or maybe a flamethrowe unit? He could be an anti-infantry infantry unit.

EDIT: I am going to have 3 tiers like in the regular game, but im not sure what to call the 3 different buildings... You will be able to upgrade your capital like a town hall. I am going to name the capital buildings after the actual capital buildings of each of the sides, so what should i call the upgraded ones? Just lvl1, lvl2, and lvl3?

The members page is up, but i found that geocities wont allow passwords, so its not passworded. We really didnt need a password anyways.

if you make flamethrower it will be USA only because they were the only ones that could use it effectively in the pacific. would be almost useless in euorpe because the building were made of concrete but the Japanese bunkers and hiding spots surrounded by trees and bushes made it ideal:ggani:

Hmm... good point. Nevermind then. Light tanks will be the anti-infantry.

Nomadic Command Center (Tier 1 town hall) yes thats the actual name for the Command Centers that are made of tents instead of any perminant buildings.
Entrenched Command Center (Tier 2 town hall) adds some concrete buildings instead of tents, maybe a wall.
Fortified Command Center (Tier 3 town hall) bunkers, walls, sentry turrets, radar, the works, probably should look impressive and use up a sizable amount of polies (2000 should be fine)

Now did you want the capitol to be like a national capitol? cause i already started planing a building based of the one in Settlers 2 (it's kinda a mix of U.S. capitol building and some others.) If you do it like Pheonix says, then it's a command center. Either way is fine, i'd just like to know, buildings are something i'm a bit better at, cause they don't have to look organic, and i don't have to worry about animations.

Ok, I'll try ro Dll IRC..... Just tell me how to use it Vongimli...

Flamethrower unit is a good idea I think.... And should we put something as an atomic bomb into our map(USA used it on Japan)?..... Maybe It could be an Ultimate USA weapon.... Then what about ships.... Maybe you can include an Aircraft Carrier that could attack as a Protoss Carrier from StarCraft(my favourite protoss unit, he-he).... Then the name of USSR Hero could be the Soviet Marshal or something like this....

that should answer your question Artur. also if you did include it you would have to let the germans be able to research it too because they had an atomic bomb program but not on the scale of the Manhattan project and near the end of the war, lack of resources forced them to divert its funds to help the army.



how about commissioner
