New Campaign: Hellsing

Work has started on a new campaign based on the Hellsing Anime/Manga. There will be around 10 missions, and will contain a few custom models and skins. Custom spells will be added if it ever becomes possible again. [Eeevil 1.03].

Anyway, we have a temporary site up at

http://rottingcorpse.cjb.net.

For now, there is a cute little preview cinematic I threw together using some existing WC3 models as stand-ins for the new ones.

If this thing gets off the ground properly, expect to see some updates here.

I'll help, what do you need? I can skin... heh, and maybe even model if I ever get the time to read one of those tuts.

I dont know what you people think is so hard about spell-editing in 1.03, I do it all the time for my own campaign... Hell, it's gotten to the point where I don't have any normal spells left really. By editing the Abilitydata.slk and [race]AbilityStrings.txt and [race]AbilityFunc.txt, it's not all that hard. Just edit (BE SURE TO BACKUP) the war3patch.mpq file instead of grafting the edited files onto the maps... Makes life a lot easier, and when you send it out to the web, simply use the new Campaign Installer. You should see some of the things I've come up with.

Actually, we don't really need anything. :ggani:

I have a skinner and a modeller, and the first model *should* be done soon. [At least that's what he says]. It's a common vampire, if anyone wants to know...

Here's a little progress report:

Models: One almost done. about 5% done total.
Skins: Waiting for models. 0% done.
Story: Stolen. Being reworked. 75% done.
Mapping: First campaign map started. I'd say about 5% done here, too.
Total: 7-8% done.
Estimated Release: Summer 2003. We're taking it easy.
