Looks nice. Im really interested to play it. Thought my own ideas would be to manipulate it into a custom map genre. hehe =P

News Batch #2: Boot Camp Map Almost Finished

Another month and another campagin update. I have made alot of skin progress on the campaign front and created a whole bunch of new and improved skins which will increase the feel of the original maps further.

Anyways on to the updates:

Well the map is looking pretty much complete right now. There are still a few little issues and skins that need fine tuning before i can release a final map but im very close. This month i first got to work on developing a new cursor to replace the poor qaulity one i had been using for the past 2 years. The old one was very pixelly and it would always shake when ontop of a unit/building due to the original skinner not placing the combining cursors section correctly in the skin. Anyways it was pretty easy to make. Because im just copying the cursors from the original SC all i did was take screenshots of the different cursors and then paste them onto the original wc III icon skin template and hey presto ive got myself a new cursor which looks a hell of alot better then my previous one and no shaking.

(This is the skin template i built the skin ontop of)​

Next i decided to try and make new terrain skins from the original SC, so i could truely call my map a Total Conversion. So i basically did the same thing with the cursor and copy and pasted the terrain from the original sc to my skin templates and maxed the qaulity output and this time the skin didnt come out so great. I dunno why its come out slightly greyish in colour but i dunno how to improve it. Im not sure if you guys will like the new terrain. Thats why i want everyone to comment and vote for if you want the new terrain or the original wc3 terrain i had.

I have also improved and finsihed the ScoreScreen skins and Menu skins. It took abit of trail and error to get the borders perfectly alined properly but i got it done in the end. I also added new a defeat screen art to complete the skin.

The menu skins were also time consuming to aline. I also changed the menu background to that of the original menu background. Im now very happy with the new menu screen.

Now i would like to talk about the other side of the project. The online maps ive recently finished and have been enjoying on bnet the last few months. Ive tried to take screenshots of awsome battle scenes for all of you guys, just to show how exciting it is to play my maps project. It is difficult to start games i must admit. 4mb maps dont download very fast and i usually have to play a full hour per game becuase of the dl time is so slow. But hopefully enough people we have my maps and maby ill get some regular hosters popping up on the bnet servers who will help disturbute my maps alot faster. As for development, im looking into making another maps pack in the near future which will include a few of the new zerg upgrades from sc II to the maps which i cant wait to do.

Here are some screenshots ive taken while playing online;

I'm happy to see this update. Is there a version that has been released for the public, or is it not yet ready for that stage?
This will make a great substitute until Starcraft II comes along. And, even when it does, people who want to stick to Warcraft III will be very happy to be able to play this.

Good luck

Atm this point in time the new maps pack v6 with all the sc II material is out now but the campaign maps are still not ready to be released. I tend to be finding new skins that need conversion everyone day and i really want to perfect the camapaign maps now so i dont need to do so much for other campaign maps.

1.) I've only played Starcraft a few times in my life but this seems great!

2.) I read about the PR stuff and I just want to say, don't get discouraged. There's nothing wrong and dumb about making what you want. Like DotA, it's an AoS that mostly owns all AoSs (I hate it, but its fact that I don't like) but there's still great (and better) AoSs out there like DoE and stuff. I admit the PR one looks cool[er] than yours but it may not be more fun. So don't give up.

3.) I can't +-rep so I'll just personally +rep you for dedication on your map. It seems that you have been working on your map for a long time so I just want to say Good Job!

Well, I can't wait to try it. In fact, some time ago I played a map of SC on WCIII and I think it was this map because when looking over your screenshots, it was the same exact terraining and stuff, so maybe that was an old version of your map or something.

When can we try the map for real? Good luck!

EDIT: Nice models and icons!

How did you manage to have that many imports and still respect the 4mb limit?

I wonder...

It looks great now! Your project has become very nice nightwolve.

Oh and... the link in your original post is outdated. How can one get your maps btw?

 

[night_wolveX]

thanx guys for the positive feedback. Yes its been 4 long years and dont worry i wont stray from my project. If you dont know Snowflake is offically finished with PR. This is a great boost to my projects unquieness and popularity for Starcraft fans alike.

Thank you for the +rep thewrongvine its always welcome and ity does put a smile on my face when i recieve +rep.

and Daxtreme the map is more like 10mb now. This is only possible beacuase its not an online map but rather a single player campaign map. And thus i dont need to worry about the 4mb limit i have to deal with for the online maps.

When will it be out? Well i cant say fur sure right now. Nore give an exact date yet. Like i said i want to perfect this map now and forever and then move on to the next campaign maps so the work is lesser and i can produce new maps alot faster. Also my life outside the project is getting alot busier and making time to work on this great project is becoming more difficult but not impossible and ill endeavor to continue working on the project as much as i can and ill continue to post news batches every month.

Ah yes i thought it would be outdated by now. here is the new link to the hompage; which i might add is ranked 4th most popular mod today

Were you able to work out a nuclear strike trigger? If not I think I came up witha nuclear strike trigger that would in theory work exactly like the one from the original Starcraft.

So we can't play this on multiplayer anymore?

News Batch #3: Boot Camp New Terrain

This month hasnt shown much development in the boot camp map as ive been very busy outside of the project, but i did however make some new terrain for all the campaign maps. Along with the new terrain i also increased the Zergling movement speed to 500 which has increased their effectiency against marines which i think needs to happen in the mulitplayer maps now.

First Screenshot shows the new Badlands_Mud terrain i added. Looks pretty good from this view.

And then i cliff terrain was next. This skin required abit of trail and error to get the right parts of the skin yto match the same style cliffs from the original sc. I couldnt create the cliff side skins from sc though so i just match the cliff colour as best i could with a wc3 cliff skins.

I also finally finsihed the menu screen skins.

At this point the Boot Camp map is complete. There are still a few bugs present which i dout ill be able to fix at this point in time but i think its time to move onto the next map.

I have a utilities pack containing all the skins and models used in my maps project. The current pack is out of date though and im planning to release a new pack as soon as ive finished the first set of terran missions for the Demo version of Starcraft.

 

[Segento]

i have downloaded that pack before but it appears as a RAR file and i dont know how to open it.... Also PR is good and all but your maps Are soo much better.

Its very easy to open all you do is download the rar program and then either open up the pack manually and extract the files manually or u can right clikc on the pack once you have the rar program installed and extract it from there.

Thank you for your positive feedback and support. I hate it when poeple compare and judge my maps project to that of PR. Now that PR is finished i hope to get a little more graditute for my years of work for the Starcraft community.

 

[Segento]

You are very welcome where do i download the RAR program?


let me know if i can help you complete your maps in any way although im not really good at anything



Keep up the good work

I was being sarcastic; you were trying to "sell" your services to him (advertising), and not doing a very good job
