(8) When Servers Collide

12-21-2007, 10:16 PM

This is the map me and DesKaladA are working on for the Paired Mapping Contest #2.

Background

Once upon a time, Wc3Capaigns' server went down (again). After Tim got it back up (after being on holiday for three weeks, as usual), everything appeared to be back to normal. That is, until Ralle checked his email... it turns out Wc3c booted onto the same IP address as the hive! Oh noes!

Gameplay

This is a multiplayer game that supports 8 players. Players 1-4 are for the hive, and players 5-8 are for wc3c. Players 9 and 10 are computer-controlled players, one for each team. They handle all the miscellaneous stuff.
You start out by being presented by a bunch of presents (LOL A PUN). You do not know what's inside. When you click on one present a User from your team will appear. You are in control of that User for 30 seconds, after which point s/he will dissapear and a new User will spawn at your home base.
Killing an enemy Generic User (controlled by the computer players) will give the User +10 seconds if they are from wc3c, and +20 seconds if they are from hive (I will explain why later)
Killing an enemy Player-owned user will add +(10+(10*level)) seconds.
Various items are randomly spawned throughout the map, adding bonuses and time.
Generic users are spawned from the site's home base. For the hive they are just peons, for wc3c something else (Haven't decided yet). Because the hive is more active than wc3c, it spawns twice as many users. However because most of hive's (generic) users have an IQ of less than 80, they are far weaker than wc3c's generics. So basically two hive peons are equal to 1 wc3c generic.
Minigames! WSC will be utilizing WarSoc, so there are many more exciting possibilities for minigames! These minigames will only last a very short period of time (from 5 - 25 seconds), and winners will be rewarded with bonuses or extra time.

Now here's where you guys come in! Of course, what would the players control? YOU GUYS OF COURSE! Post here with the following, so I can add you to a table (it is much easier for me and DesKaladA to keep track of people that way). Here's what you post to be added to the map (please wrap it in [noparse] tags so I can just copy and paste it up here instead of having to quote)

Malf	Druid of the Talon	Malfurion without Stag	Monsoon - Just ripoff the monsoon from ToB
Pyrogasm		Mc !'s Scamp the Imp	Pyrohemia: Pyrogasm gains increased attack and movement speed for his next 3 attacks. At the end of the third attack, Pyrogasm detonates himself to deal AoE damage to all nearby units.
FinalTyrant			Invulnerable, but cannot attack except for minor damage caused by insults. For a better effect, use these insults.	Yes
darkwulfv	White wolf icon	White wolf tinted red	Anti-Hive Suit: Damage taken from Hive heroes is cut, and causes attacks to deal far more damage to generics
Callahan	Sludge monster (green one from dalaran)	Sludge monster (green one from dalaran)	Internalization - Callahan suffer in silence. He internalize damage without replying till he explode. Callahan store a % of taken damage and can release it into big explosion dealing AoE damage equal to the amount of stored damage. The size of the unit increase while storing damage.Eventually add a stored damage cap.
Dan van Ohllus	Icon	Model	Symbol of Death - Marks the ground with the symbol of darkness as pure evil empowered energies spill forth to destroy Dan van Ohllus's foes. Last XX seconds. Spell (modify the spell so I can attack heroes too, but reduce the damage a bit so I won't get too imba) Icon	Yes
Chriz.	Goblin Mortar Trike	Goblin Mortar Trike (hero version)	Wheelie (activate/deactivate): Morphs into wheelie mode which increases movement speed greatly and leaving a trail of flames behind his wheels which deal damage over time to units who walk on them. When in wheelie mode attack speed is decreased drastically.
Tide-Arc Ephemera	Mana Flare	Voidwalker	Forum Lurker - As long as this hero is within 900 range of another unit, it will gain Permanent Invisibility (2 sec fade, doesn't auto acquire targets). If that unit is a hero, Tide-Arc Ephemera gains 75 attack but -5 armor. If numbers require changing, please do so.
TheSecretArts	Blood mage	Kael'Thas sunstrider (Id like if it had my fire mage skin and acessories, fireballs rather than floating green balls)	Hack script; tears away part of the server's codings causing a void in the map that freezes units in radius for 15 seconds I wonder what happens when i delete this part of the code labeled "Terrain Data"
Ammorth	(DL)	Flying Sheep	Shit Launch - AOE - Launches shit at the area, poisoning and slowing affected units. Units who enter the area after the effect are stunned from the smell.
Fluff	Sheep	Sheep	Appears from time to time unexpectedly. Been registered for years; posts occasionally. Blinks in an out of existence periodically disabling those around him.
PenguinEmperor	Penguin Icon	Penguin Model	PenguinGod: PenguinEmperor channels the Godly spirit of the Penguin, growing far more powerful. While he's PenguinGod, can you give hem the frost swirl effect found here? And he should also ALWAYS hold the Frost Blade, even in regular form.
Born2Modificate			Launch Rocket - Builds a small toyrocket launching platform, that is able to send a rocket in the nearer orbit. After the target point is set, the rocket will batter down and damage nearby units. The models for the launching station and the effect of the rocket coming down are attached! (and by far smaller than all those hero models :P)
The_Elite	Skeleton	Skeleton	Skeleton Army: basically a modified Stampede that uses skeletons instead of lizards.
ragingspeedhorn	Flesh Golem	Flesh Golem	Throw Meat: Throws meat at the target location, stunning and damaging units in an X radius.

Powers of units will vary depending on how important they are to the site. For example Ralle and Tim. will totally OMGWTFPEWPEWLAZERZ everything, whereas someone who's only been here a few months might be able to pick off one or two wc3c generic users before his timer runs out.

Important:

Keep in mind your model should reflect you in some way. So for example General Frank could use one of his draconian models. Also, YOUR CHOSEN MODEL MUST BE EITHER INGAME OR MADE BY YOURSELF. MODEL SIZE IS LIMITED TO 100 80KB, INCLUDING ANY CUSTOM TEXTURES.

If you contribute to both wc3c AND the hive, then post on this identical thread there too. (This is for people like Chriz. who are active on both sites)

Not everyone will be accepted; only those users who me and DesKaladA feel that they contribute to the site. (Of course since we can hardly be fair judges of that (over here) we've asked Chriz. to help us in that matter.)

Pyritie	Both of you added! It would also be helpful for future people to use "[c]" instead of " - " to separate their Users. Makes it easier to CnP.

Pyrogasm

The point of the [c] stuff was to use a table...

Table:

Pyrogasm

Mc !'s Scamp the Imp

Pestilence: Pyrogasm gains increased attack and movement speed for his next 3 attacks. At the end of the third attack, Pyrogasm detonates himself to deal AoE damage to all nearby units.

Oh, and I know that image has WoW borders; you'll have to fix that if you want. I would upload the Scamp icon that Rising_Dusk gave me, but it's not released and I don't think I should do that...

I know you said that it had to be a model made by us, but you have to admit that the model fits well and is just too damn awesome to ignore. In the event that you decide to be a douche and not use that model you can use Pheonix-IV's Clockwerk Igniter model or the Lava Spawn model (with their respective icons) instead.
