Hero Arena Finale!

Hello, I'm gathering people to help work on a campaign called... <drum roll>
HERO ARENA FINALE!

I'll put the storyline down lower. I'm looking for just anything. Out of everything I would like a skinner/moddeler the most(don't we all?). If you can terrain, trigger, are good at cinematics or anything like that I would be glad to have you too.

Storyline
The story takes place about a month after the events of the Frozen Throne. Illidan wanders the wastelands of Northrend in search of any remnants of his troops or anything that could help him. While traveling a portal opens up in front of him and a voice beckons from within telling him that he can grant his greatest desires, even give him all the magic he could ever want.

When Illidan emerges from the other side of the portal he finds himself in a lifeless courtyard. Soon, Prince Kael'thas and Lady Vashj emerge from the portal and they tell Illidan how they're troops escaped the Undead and have been searching for him ever since. The portal closes behind them and they start looking for a way out of the eerie lifeless courtyard.

When they start searching for a way out they meet up with Arthas and Anub'arak. Illidan and Arthas talk to each other and Illidan charges at Arthas. Just then a wall of light appears between them and traps both of they're groups. A powerful looking knight on a horse appears and tells them that he is the one that summoned them there and that they were called to compete in a tournament of heroes and that the winner would be granted 3 wishes. This powerful entity is a shapeshifter and is called the Wishgiver (yeah i know, very unimaginative).

Once all the heroes arrive through portals the Wishgiver opened, the tournament begins. You choose the hero you wish to play as and compete against each other. There are also many side quests and secret quest you can discover and reveal the truth about the evil Wishgiver.

If I left anything out or you have any questions, just look at my signature on how to contact me.

Right now we only have two people working on it: Me and NicktheRat.
Everything is going along fine but we could do better with more people.

And this is... a B.net map? Or a eh... normal map? If it is a B.net map, then you might as well, forget the custom models and the cinematic. It will be near impossible.

I don't really see how you can make a 'Hero Arena' that is not on B.net, it is possible alright, no doubt about it... but it will just not be the same..

Well, your choice, if you still go on with it, good luck.

You can fit alot of models into the map, with as much animations and stuff you want, as long as you reuse blizzard's textures.

Yes, it is a campaign, and yes it is possible. It's not like a normal hero arena like you might be thinking. It has lots of side quests and cinematics and storyline to follow. You battle one on one like a tournament whenever you're ready. If you're think of helping then i could send you a sample. ;)

Hey folks. The Rat is back and back in black... as usual. Anyway, I'll be putting together some of the custom models. Nightmare has a slight road block, but I'll figure it out I'm sure. The only problem is getting his effed up arm to animate right.

Tyrael is more or less complete. Perhaps his skin could be spiced up... Anyway, other crossover heroes I'll be working on are Link (of course :P), Fenix from Starcraft, and maybe Ryu Hayabusa from Ninja Gaiden. If anyone wants to lend a hand... I'll love you forever!

Anyway, this arena map is going to be a bit more than just having heroes duke it out in an arena. As Nat said there's gonna be side quests with map linking I believe, like in Rexxar's campaign. Also... "dating sim" perhaps? Not in the sense of find a romantic partner... but in trying to coax another hero into being your tag partner. Just food for thought.
--Example--
Maiev: Umm... if you don't already have a partner, Varimarthas, would you like to team up?
Varimarthas: Buzz off worm...

This really sounds interesting and I'll surely be keeping my eye on this.

Lol, dating sim's kinda exaggerated :> . More like tag team matches. :D

Lol, maybe so, but the idea how it was explained sounds interesting.

Hey! I'm mostly complete with the main huge map where most of the action takes place :D . The projects going along good, even though only two of are helping. I'd still like some help though, just to make things go along quicker.
If you want to help please contact me! :\ I'm usually always on.

What kind of jobs are open? You might want to tell people that ;) Anyway the idea still sounds good. Though if you want my oppinion, I personally don't like that heroes from other games are used.

Lol, all jobs are open, anything, moddeler/skinner, terrainer, triggerer, cinematics guy, anything. ^_^ Oh, and it was Nick's idea to put extra characters in. If you don't like that then you'll have to see him about it. Hey, if there is a beggining triggerer who thinks they might be able to help, I'll coach them on the basics.

Edit: Ugh, darn elevators, they're giving me a headache :( . I've searched the forum for help, but I can't find anything about what I'm doing.
I'm trying to make a dirt elevator with dirt cliffs, I don't know if that changes anything, but I can't get the invisible platforms to work with the elevator, its either the elevator is too far away or you can use the invisible platform while the elevator is down, which you not suppose to :( .

You didn't happen to made a backup, right? Otherwise it is indeed something really... bad. Though it is a problem I've never saw before :\ Good luck in anyway possible.

-Fladian

Making a backup would have been smart :\ .

Edit: Heheh, good! I do have a copy of it right before that happened :D !

Re-Edit: Yay! ^_^ No more problem! Check the problem post to see how I fixed it.

Congratiolations, it's good to hear that it's fixed :D It is a weird way to fix it though :P Oh well, nothing to worry about it seems ;)

Next time you start on a map, always have a backup map just in case :) *starts backupping his own campaign map*

Anyway, keep the thread in touch to show your progress ;) because it *does* sounds interesting
