Anyone who is a part of or is interested in the Project: City of Woe

LISTEN UP!

I am still working on getting the map for this project, but it is VITAL I know who is in this, who isn't, who wants to be, and another thing.

First off, if you are a team member or wish to be a team member please reply ASAP.
To become a team member, all you have to do is be commited to helping work on this project to some extent. Also, you have to have some skill to aid us (anything from concept help to modelling and skinning)
If you reply asking to join, assume you will be accepted and answer the next question.

Do y'all think we should move out of wc3campaigns and move into Star Alliance Mods Forums?? They are a very prestigous group of modders, and will be a vey helpful tool in completing our map.
If the team as a whole wishes to move, they may host our project, and give us a forum, with full ability (such as attaching pictures or files, etc)
This will be much much better than the ezboard forum I set up.

So, please let me know where you stand on this movement, and if you are/want to be in this team.

Here is what we will begin working on shortly (so if you can do any of this we could really use your help)

Creating all characters
-This involves possibly making some models, making skins,and making tons of new abilities (this will require sophisticated spell editing)
Creating the map
-I am working on this, but the map will get passed around a bunch
Creating artwork
-Need some help on this, we have a bunch of new spell icons, a new loading screen, new portraits, and a logo to create.
Once the map is made I will add the triggers to it and then developing anything that has to do solely with triggers will be done.

BTW, the info on this project is in the thread in my sig, titled Project: City of Dark (plusRandomQuestTest)

1. I'll help - I'm the X-Man, the guy who made the Random Quest Generator.

2. Don't move out, just a personal reason but I hate Star Alliance, and vice versa.

3. I think the characters you pmed me rocked.

Xman

Good to hear from ya Xman.

I really like your Random Quest Generator, I'm thinking of taking it and just adding tons of extra stuff to it. Of course it will still be your creation

Star Alliance is really psyched about hosting this project, but if we don't have enough guys working on it (we have 5 right now, 2 of which haven't gotten in touch with me yet, hope to get more) than moving really isn't even an option anyways. But if we do manage to grow in the next couple days then we may have to hook up with SA, unless you really cannot handle that.

Took alot of time to make those characters. D4vid7r4n and I are beginning work on the abilities, and I am trying to find someone who can edit some models so I can work on skins.

BTW, here is the new logo for this project. Feel free to us it like I have.

PS GO RAIDERS!!!!!

hmmm i'm interested. I guess i could be a terrainer of a quest manager.

CtpCrap,

If you are willing to work on a significant amount of terrain, give me your email and I'll shoot you the info so you can do a sort of "try out" map.

Don't worry though, I do not expect the best work ever, just something significantly better than mine (believe me, mine sucks. ) In fact, I'll post a pic of some of my terrain, and y'all can see what I'm talking about.

:D :D :D :gfu:

I'm still interested Gumby! Nice chars u pm'd me! I'm still up for doing triggers/ideas/etc/etc.

A little update:

Here is the "team" right now, and after that is the list of what people are working on/need to be working on:
Gumby_Pornstar
ThunderTrails
Xman
fr0ggE
D4vid7r4n
BloodLust
got_ammo
C t p C r a p (if you want to work on the map, more below)
Lucky (haven't heard from you, giveme a shout and I'll send you everything I have on story work for the city and you can take it from there)

Right now we have the following people working on stuff:

ThunderTrails
- working on the map
Gumby_Pornstar
- working on the map (more like, throwing something together to show everyone my mapping skill)
- working on tons of concept (including stores, gameplay, and story)
- working on spells (got a few done in theory, haven't tested them)
- working on triggers (still trying to make the Random Quest Generator work just like I want, very likely to be based off of or just be Xman's)
D4vid7r4n
- working on spells
fr0ggE
- working on spells
BloodLust
- working on spells

Other people involved in the project who have nothing assigned to them:
got_ammo
- Very soon I will be sending you an email of what direction I want gameplay to go. I need your help to determine what is possible and how we can do it in terms of trigger difficulty. Along with this, I will give you a list of the shops I plan to include, and would like your opinion on those. (some of the shop stuff needs to stay secret, so all shop work will be done via PM and email)
Xman
- Look at what I told got_ammo, because I'll be sending you the same PM. Also, I may end up heavilly editing your Quest Generator. I assume that this would be okay with you, so long as I give you due credit (basically, full credit) for it. Do I assume correctly?
C t p C r a p
- You can still work on terrain, I'll send you a PM about it and if you are interested just reply to it.


===============

MAP PROGRESS:
Here are my basic percentages of all the aspects, the percent being percent complete.

MAP 0% (will rise very quickly in the next few days)
CLASSES (concept/abilities) 98%
ACTUAL ABILITIES 5% (this too will rise very quickly in the next few days)
SKINS/MODELS 0% (look for more about this a further down)
TRIGGERS 3% (once the map is done these will get done pretty fast, mostly by me, Xman, and got_ammo)
OTHER CONCEPT (what we want in the map, story, etc.) 20% (I am devoting alot of time to this right now, and with some help this will go up to 100% pretty darn fast)

===============

SKINS AND MODELS:
What I need is for every team membet who recieved the character list (if you didn't, please post me and I'll send it to you) to PM with suggestions on what models to use for what classes, and what model modifications woudl be required. When I get all the models, I will begin editing the skins one by one. (I can do basic special effect/weapon/whatever attachment via triggers, so if that is necessary throw that in your list as well)

I'm going through and trying to find some suitable models as well, will get my opinions out soon.

====================

That's where we stand. This thing is about to explode with progress, I can feel it :D So guys working on it, don't give up, keep the progress up, and we will get this thing done within a fairly short amount of time.

Yaeh, I don't really mind if you just print my name somewhere in the cedits, the PMs that you're sending look great, so this is gonna look like a brill map. I recon that you sholud finish the map before doing anything else.

Xman

Whats the difference between this and city of darkness?

Ok, I suppose I'm available for ideas, especially ones regarding balancing. I'm not real big on game concept and story but I can come up with units and items and such. I can do some pretty nice triggers but nothing extravagent and I ain't got a clue when it comes to custom text. My strongest point is triggers involving math equations and such.

What's the problem you have with the SA? O_o
I'm curious as to why someone states they have a hatred of us.
I've said to Gumby he can still forum and essentially do all communication here, as long as the end result is on a page at our site. The SA staff will help out if needed, as will our voice actors in SAVAGE. Straight forward arrangement, yes?

And yeah, I'd agree with the statement that we're 'psyched' about it joining, but that's because we've no WC3 content yet. The staff campaigns are taking a good chunk of time.

Don't have much time to reply, I'll try and make it short and sweet.

Xman: Working like a beast trying to get some guys working on the map (I have a basic map made, but I can't add anything to it without it looking terrible, I'll put up pics tomorrow)

Spectre: If you are referring to the Project: City of Dark (plus randomquesttest) thread then this is the same project, just updated a bunch in progress. If not, I do not know what project you refer to.

Dinadan87: I have some stuff you could really help with. I'll PM you tomorrow about it.

Magic: While I actually do still want to move to SA, at this point things are happening pretty quickly with just PM's and posts. Unless our communication gets bogged down, I don't think we will need to move. (But maybe we will eventually, never know)

When you get the time send me the shop list with items so i could possibly start triggering them. :D

got_ammo,

I'm finalizing the stuff for the shops (I was surprised how much stuff I want to include... :bgrun: , but who cares it will kick *** :D )

For everyone else, I am finally beginning (with intent on actually using them) the skins for all the classes. I'll have pics up of that hopefully soon.

Also, I have requested we get a forum here at wc3campaigns, so keep your fingers crossed. :foot:

Here is the first skin I am working on, it has a long way to go but it is going in the right direction. It should be done by tomorrow night (I hope)

Thought I should post this so people could see some progress and see what kind of skills I have.

Also, I could really use a modeller to get rid of that shield and if possible the headdress (they are red when I try to alpha them, and the face randomly dissappeared, still fixing that :ggani: )

It is a combination of recolor and total changing. I want these guys to look good, so criticism is welcome (especially from guys who have the character info and can see what I'm trying to get here)
