I Need modeller/skinner (maybe two), maybe a pair of triggerers as well, guy who makes the custom units/spells, and all help is appriciated!

I Have already started to make terrains for the 1st map, its from Khaz Modan, Dun Morogh, and soon going to make some start for other locations too.

The Project is an open RPG with the -save system, so you can load ur character, and it's weapons no matter is it the Dun Morogh or Swamp of Sorrows, some weapons can be found in other maps, i.e you see a guy that has an Orcish Double-axe, and you cant buy it from the shop nearby coz your playing in Stormwind, so you gotta buy that item from Orgrimmar or other orcish territory based map. I Also thought that the races would Pandaren, Tauren, Troll, Orc, Human, Half-Orc, Half-Elf (Can choose either Blood-, High- or Night Elf), Gnome, Dwarf (Can choose either Wildhammer, Bronzebeard or Dark Iron), Goblin, Undead (What kind of undead, Orc, Human, Dwarf), so these would be the core playable races, some more may be added if I get so goodie goodie modeller/skinner that he can make more of them! ^_^ Every race would have their specified class, i.e. the orcs have Barbarian, Tauren have Barbarian, Blood Elves have Warlock, Night Elf Males have Druid, Troll Females have shaman, Goblin Females have rogue and so on, and of course every class has their specified equipment i.e. Rogues have daggers and leather armors, Barbarians have heavier weapons like Great Axes, Clubs and Flails. Mages of course have normal clothing and staff/wand.

I Hope I will get a good team so I can fullfill this project and give it playable for the people in wc3campaigns.com

Okay, here we go. Have you ever been working on (or fullfilled) a big project?
If you don't have a good amount of WE skills this just will go down.
But good idea
But IF the project should be as big as it sounds you gonna need half-godlike members.Just my oblivion, but if you havent tried to make a project of any kind i tihnk you should start off with making smaller maps, maybe singe-player in the start. But else good and original idea i wish you good luck

I am starting to wonder... are people having trouble learning or am I just incredible smart? :P Or are just people trying to annoy me? Well, whichever it is, I'll use my classic speech.

Look Seery, I don't mind people starting projects, not at all, that's why I'm a moderator here, heck I'm a project leader myself. But, like Ufo said as well, "Have you ever been working on a big project before?" which I will add to "with different people". If not, then how harsh it may sound, you'll surely will have to drop this.

This project is near... no, rather, completely impossible to make. The idea is excellent, I will say that, but so was Void's idea. Do you got any idea how large those map(s) will be? You will have to have so many new models, skins and who knows what more that it will become completely impossible to play, even for those with a good computer.

To cut a long story short (since I'm eating), this project is way too big to even lift from the ground. Modelers are already rare enough as they are and you are asking more then possible.

I highly suggest you cancel this entire project. It is *way* too big. Just take this as advice from someone with a lot experience. Join a different project to gain some experience and never look back.

Right, now I'm gonna lunch.

Well, maybe you're right, some good ideas may end up to bad ides =( Ill cancel the whole project soon. But thanks anyway for the feedback and now I know that I should start from making some easier maps before I start any bigger project, so I think ill stay in the melee maps ^_^
Thx

Heh, good luck then. But you still might want to work with a team on some project for experience in the future ;) It can't hurt after all :)

Good luck

Draenei-Seer, If you're interested in making World of Warcraft, maybe we can work together? Well... I didn't make World of Warcraft for multiplayer, I made them for singleplayer. Because there are so many regions in WoW, I need several terrainer. Other than that, I need your idea. I think you are a man of idea

Well if you don't cancel it, I can be a terrianer, but I could be very busy with my map in AOM. Already 4 monthes working on it and still not done . Also this is quite possible to make, but can you go inside buildings?

Indeed, quite possible to *make* but did you consider playing as well? Also, by the amount of work it is something people would have little to no hopes in.

Well I think im looking forward to join in a campaign team in need of terrainer, when I get more experience I maybe can fullfill my other campaign I've been planning longer than this one. It would tell about the background of my WoW character Darkoll Wolfgrim.

It tells about a guy who's a seer of a small orcish village, but when the demons come to corrupt Draenor he finds himself as an apprentice of Gul'dan. There would be 3 parts of the campaign, 1st follows the timeline from just before the 1st war to aftermaths of 1st war, 2nd part of campaign follows the timeline of the 2nd war and aftermath. When Gul'dan leads the expedition to Tomb of Sargeras he takes Darkoll with him. He survives and escapes from there coz first he gets lost but then after a long and hard search he finds the way out, and ends up at the broken isles, somehow he finds a way home again (haven't thought how) some time after the death of Gul'dan he gathers orcs with him who were loyal to Gul'dan and creates the clan Sons of Gul'dan (that im going to create in WoW, so it also tells some background about my becoming WoW clan) I think the 2nd war thing is going to be long. 3rd part concentrates to time when he lives in Draenor writing stupid books about warlock magic and studies the secrets of Gul'dan and when he conquers black citadel under his command from the Naga and Blood Elves that were left to maintian the place with the demons while Illidan, Kael and Lady Vashj striked to the frozen peak of Ice Crown. The Campaign Finale shows the way when he stands on the top of Black Citadel's Highest tower and watches over his kingdom, then the screen starts to turn black and comes the credit texts.

As far as I know, It's possible to make a unit go inside a building. 3 option for this thing. 1st, you move unit to another map section. 2nd, same as 1st, but with a little tinkering with map bounds, you can make your minimap focused on the building map only. 3rd, make another map for building interior, the last option won't work for multiplayer though.

I know more options then that -_- But if you want to discuss about those things, make a thread in the General Development or Trigger Haven.

once again, sorry, Fladian ^_^

Draenei_Seer, why don't u just make World of Warcraft? It's seems singleplayer WoW doesn't have any popularity :\ I'll help you with your WoW if you changed your mind.

Draenei-Seer
Well, thats true matey, the WoW singleplayer would of course be full of things to do i.e that you can go inside a building like tavern and there an old scruffy man tells you a story about a dwarven city with streets of gold, my earlier planned weapon system would be easier to do, many many other things easier to do. Thats of course good idea, but it would have to be like the TFT Orc Campaign where you dont command base you only command a group of adventurers, but then the WoW camera can't be made that follows the character, if you dont do it so, that you can press backspace to switch hero, then the camera follows the hero and the others are independetly following the hero that you currently control like the summons in Diablo, so you kinda command them and kinda not. ^_^

Hey, is here anyway to delete this whole Thread from the Forum? You know coz the project is cancelled, could you do it Fladian? :\
10-12-2004, 08:12 PM#15
Fladian
I could do it, but it is better to anounce it's dead :P As a moderator I may not really delete or close threads with a reason such as that ^^

No, it is not possible to delete an entire threads as a normal member, only mod's and admins can do that.
