World War(craft) 1 Feedback Wanted

Well I just wanted to get some feedback on this, see what people think of it you know...

I've just started some preliminary work on athird person shooter conversion of Warcraft 3, which will hopefully be put to use in a campaign(s) I'm planning that spreads through WW1 from a few perspectives. The Trench Warfare will not consume this campaign but will be a bit different in play from the other levels.

I am going to need a few models of soldiers, guns, turrets, and doodads but in total it shouldn't be over 20 or so (including variations for countries).

You move left and right as well as forward and back with use of the keyboard... And aim with the mouse, at this point its in the least sketchy because I can't seem to find a way to have your character turn when you want to look in other directions... So you'll most likely see a change here.

Oh and not to be forgotten there will be a multiplayer map and perhaps even a Co-op mode.

Just want to see your feedback, hear suggestions, and see if anyway would play this.


Edited by Anitarf. Reason: Removed colour abuse. Do it again and it's neg rep city for you..

You need more info. Add it.

Second, far too much colour abuse there. Use it to highlight, not for whole blocks of test.

Well the lack of info is due to, their not being any at the moment. I'm planning everything and beginning the systems triggers now and really just wanted feedback on a third person shooter in Warcraft 3.

I will add info as it comes along.

go to the tutorial almighty arrow controls. that will solve your turning problems.

this might help some http://www.wc3campaigns.net/forumdisplay.php?f=596

the problem doesn't lie within key controls, thats a rather simple thing... Its in the having your character actually follow your mouse... Or finding some other way to aim in third person and be able to turn, because left and right are planned as being strafes like most third person shooters.

-I've looked atthe FPS mod but I want to try and stray from that as this is going to be a third person adventure.-

Shooters in WC3 just don't work well. Left/Right won't work as strafing - too slow for anything high speed.

Well than I hope everyone is presently suprised when I get aroudn to releasing a tech demo
