F'ing Amazing.

The editor is just... I'm at a loss for words right now, it's just great.

Like you can finally have multiple weapons on a single unit that fire when it's moving, like ughhh. A giant tank with several smaller seiged ones on it, (Would look awesome) just.. WOW.

You have well over half-a-year time to come up with ideas :)

I have idea of my own already, pretty far designed ^^

Nova... YEAH !!!! I can't beleave they put her in the game!!!! Awesome.... Guys looks like all of our wishes so far are true:

A The player has total control with the object editor and he can create bad ass altered melee maps.

Obviously, blizzard have worked a lot on the keyboard and mouse support, and now we can make, RPG's, Shooting games, survivals like L4D and even Fighting games like DMC A lot easier.

And, to top it all off, you can also create 2d Games.... Blizzard have sucked me into starcraft II again...

>that stuff without actually using code? amazing.

Indeed. Blizzard want to make the mapping as easy as possible for all of us, even the noobs, like me who don't know Jass. I thought "yeah, right" but now I am "WTF? Blizzard actually made something good? wtf?! "

I am honered to know that Blizzard actually started respecting us so much.
This looks all great, but I'll slay them if they include an IDE.

Mhmm! The one thing they better do is constantly add new models with either each expansion or just release some new models every patch... Because with the quality of the models and resolution of the textures the file size would be too big for custom models... If they can do that then they have this shiz in the bag.

Also this guy is a retard (Blazur, B-net forums)

Why the hell is Blizzard putting in effort to generate a 3rd-person view like an RPG? This is a down-down RTS game which doesn't need this view. Sure map makers can come up with some interesting ideas with this third-person view, but that's not what this game is about. Give them GMOD if they want to make a cool FPS game.

It annoys me to think something silly like this could be delaying the game. I could honestly care less about this feature. It's not StarCraft. Focus on getting Galaxy up to standards for making SC2 maps, and add this thing in a year or two later when the developers are sitting around with nothing else to improve upon with the editor.

We don't need this, and if the developers keep working on extra crap like this which isn't core to the game it'll be out in 2013. It's no wonder this game is taking so long to develop.

In complete and utter honesty, I played WC3 primarily because of all the custom maps... 100's of different kinds of games inside one game. It was amazing, and this guy clearly does not realize that.

Eh ... all of those are doable in Warcraft 3's editor, with the exception of hiding the normal UI. I am wondering how easy is it to do them ...

But remember, no code used.

Pretty sure that was only for the first video they showed.

You can't go under ground and I'm not sure if you can move characters with a keyboard like they do there, but you probably can with some huge code... Mouse support, no way though.

Yah keyboard controls in Wc3 were delayed as hell. Looks like they tuned it up quite a bit thank jebus.

Mouse support? You mean for the Nova sequence? Hmm ... I'm not familiar with this area, so I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. (Can't you use tons of little invisible units to detect mouse movements? I think that's how my friend implemented mouse gesturing. But I guess you can't detect it if the mouse is above the horizon ...)

But my point is, Blizz hasn't revealed how much work was being put into the demo, or whatever limitations they're hiding. I wish they would talk about the language features of Galaxy ... higher order functions? Type inferencing? But then that wouldn't make a good presentation ^^.

They said Galaxy would be related to the coding language of C.

I agree with you completely. It was almost shocking for me to see someone post about how including more in the editor is a bad thing-- especially something that will open up hundreds of thousands of possibilities for modders/map makers.

True, but people playing shooters on warcraft 3 or starcraft 2 is just silly.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
