Project for mapping

Hi all,
I'd want to start a campaign together with you. But I no good in almost anything in map modding so i'll need many people to help me.
I wanna create a campaign.. Err let's say some two thousand years after warcraft 3. Orcs and Night Elves went back in the unknown places where men never went. Then Medivh returned to Lordaeron to warn the humans for some new danger. The neutral and hostile creeps were revolting and are now attacking...
I'll continue the storyline as soon as I get a reply. I'll need someone to make skins and models of buildings for the creeps like murlocs and furbolgs, a terrainer, a trigerrer(someone to make the triggers). All i think i will be able to do is telling the story and perhaps make the overall map. Oh I'll also need one who can create the cinematics.
Please tell me your:
Account name:
Favorite race and hero:
E-mail:
When you will mostly be available online:
I'll be online most probably at night 23h - 01h (GMT+4) which will be (19h - 21h00[GMT})
Thanks for your cooperation.

I guess i'll have to turn this thread into fanfic or make a dumb campaigns with all the original models and try to get a story out of it.
I let the forum go for a month. PLEASE help me out! I already got some great(I think) ideas for the campaign. At least can someone teach me how to create cinematics so I can begin the prologue?

Well thanks CommonNats! First to reply me on 11 views! Get on with some models and skins for the creeps. I'll post the story as soon as I can. If you can't do the models, well try creating a chapter of the campaigns. I think it is the most we can do to begin with. Could you tell me what are the programs needed for creating cinematics?
Thanks again! ;)

I'm confused with all these time zone thingies, like where am i in all this? oh well, I don't know what the letters that stand for this are but I'm in the Eastern Coast of... the US! duh. but, I cant do moddeling, dunno where you can find cinematics maker(that is if your talking about those fancy real looking 3d things). if you want me to make the first map, give me a the main quest for the level, basic setting, and if you want i'll make sidequests.

Well anyway, a terrainer is always good!
I'll send you the storyline. Here it is:
Sylvanas and her troops were traveling to ashenvale(Elves are immortal even in WC3, isn't it?:) As the evening came, they set up a camp. A small army was prepared. Sylvanas summoned the Captain:
"Send out a scout to explore the surroundings for any demons or creeps!"
"Okay, Lieutenant!"
The captain ran back to the small dispatch army.
"Anyone want to go scout the regions?"
None responded.
"How about you, Bart?"
"But Captain, I'm afraid of those creeps!"
"Anyway go scouting!"
Bart went away through a dirt path. After some time, he saw shadows. Looking up, he tried to guess what it was:
"Hmm, what could those be? I see many shapes; An army. Ooh they look like toads; interesting. But wait a minute! An army ... of toads... Murlocs! AAAAHHHH!"
Bart went away to warn his superiors.

CommonNats, you can already guess the main quest. Do the invasion in ten waves at least.
Could you evaluate my first ever cinematic? I attached it with the post. I'd also appreciate any other criticism(You should tell me the solution to the disadvantage too) from any OTHER USERS VIEWING THIS PAGE!!! Good Luck on terraining! Put in as much side quests as you can think of for this one, OK? For the cinematics, I think I will wait a little more.

Ummm... unless there's some weird plot twist in The frozen throne(i havent beaten it yet) Sylvannas windrunner died... DIED DIED DIED:ggani: AHAAHAHAHA! oh, sorry, but anyways, it would be helpful if i could have some more info. if you have a aim screenname, please tell me so we can talk more.

Oh yeah! I remembered she died in Roc just after i disconnected. but then i was too tired to reconnect and correct that. What is aim? I don't get it. Anyway, what sort of info would you like? I'm still waiting for the team to grow too. Or for the Poll to become a decisive one. Have you tested the cinematic yet?

Search for a name to replace the high elf:( But I want the lieutnant to be a high elf, definitely. I already have some plans. The high elf must be at least as old as Sylvanas would be.

I'm back... sorry i've been gone all day. AIM? It's AOL Instant Messenger. You can download it for free on www.aim.com. You can instant message people who have AIM and AOL. Anyways, I don't know any High Elve names:bgrun:. How about... Sterce Stevana? I'm not good with names:(. The information I needed is, like what's the main quest of the map? Location? Tileset? If you want me to make some side quests? stuff like that

I don't have AOL nor AIM but i have MAN messenger. I not too good with names too. Put in what you will. As for the map, it will be in the forest(ASHENVALE), the Main Quest: Defend the camp, the camp will be in the center of the map, Do some side quests: yes andthe Murlocs will attack in waves from four directions, in each of the four corners, put a murloc hut which will spawn the armies. One by one the armies will attack, create the introducing cinematic if you can. If not attach the map and i will do the cinematics. For those viewing, I STILL NEED PERSONS IN THE TEAM AND OTHERWISE MY PROJECT WILL BE STUCK!

Exactly. There's your biggest problem for such an ambitious project - you're relying on others. If *you* really want to get the project done then you have to put the effort in, it's as simple as that.

I'm trying everything i can! I searched in the forums and found a tutorial on cinematics. But I still need to find the necessary tools for modeling and skinning if you think that i should participate more. List things I need: TOOLS, then give me a tutorial thread. That's all I would need for the skinning and modeling but then still i would need more people! NONE came apart from one good person who is willing to help someone who is in need! I would still need: a spell modifier, a cinematics maker and some skinners and modelers. All that even though i learnt skinning and modeling! SERIOUSLY, can you think of someone who didn't know anything apart of terraining and doing cinematics AND ONE co-creator(terrainer) of one whole CAMPAIGN! You could at least agree with me on that: I need more persons!

I know you mean well, but I think your being too rough on your constructive criticism(if that's what you call it:D). I don't mind, but I think you might get someone mad one day.

lol! I think also! So maybe I'm too hard on others then?
