Well I've been working on my HeroQuest map and it's coming along nicely. I figured I would give it a shot and if I didn't finish it in time then so be it.

I still have a fair amount of stuff to do, like spells, and terrain work, but the basic control code for the game is done (which in my opinion is one of the most complex things to do.

Woot, shit. I already started an "Don't Get Angry" minigame.
It was shitty GUI though.

My idea:
Creating a new game, where you have to move your character. On the board there are different fields to come on, where some may increase character strength, some not.

Different characters have different skills, for example one might give you a lot of big numbers to run, but is totally unlucky in chance situations.

The aim of the game will be to solve little riddles, where the items are spreed everywhere on the board and you'll have to go on one to see its information.

Ehm, I don't really see whether you should try to make a map as precisly like the board game as you can, or if you can make a map with a lot of costum warcraft real-time experiences just with a fun base of a board game?

Like, for example, if you make a Monopoly game and adds warcraft unit combats on the streets you own, and maybe you have a lot of units moving around the board and you might have heroes with levels. Would that do any good?

as far as i understood the rules its best to make an exact copy of the original board game in wcIII. however adding additional stuff (like a WC3 gameplay mode) will never be bad.

Think of what I improved on.

That's right.

UGLY!

I made it look better. Sadly, it's lined up worse.

I just noticed you can see the Fraps numbers in the bottom left!

Even though I am about 75% through my map, I have hit the point where I am too busy with other stuff to keep working on it. I knew this was going to be the case anyway.

Why are you even using floating text or images at all when you have DisplayTextToForce (And the GUI version)?

The text in your picture, isn't it display text to a player, not floating text?

The welcome message is with Game - Display Message, the 1-24 and the word "bar" is a floating text.

    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    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
