[Ellimistrox]

Welcome All, And just a thanks to all that will or have helped me with this map.

Latest Version: Beta 0.0.5 Released. I also require the handy help of a Hoster on the Azeroth Server, speak out if thats you, i'll try and get the game to you Via something >.>.

Latest Version Posted, Beta 0.0.5, Not playable on Battle.Net as is, All 4612 Lines of it. Downloadable at BOTTOM of post.

(Screenshots located further down)

Request: Can you please give me as much constructive criticism as possible, and any ideas at all will be a great help. I am currently brainstorming for anything new that needs to go in, any ideas at all this moment would help greatly.

Quick Ask: Can someone please make me an icon that has a big golden % on it with a black background, which i can replace the current food icon with.

Aim: To create a Guitar Hero based game that will replicate the game as closely as possible

Progress:

Spoiler

Done:
Note Models
Strumming + Notes
Hammerons
MPI'ness
Save/Load
Practice Songs
Two basic Blizzard Songs
Chords

To Do:
Test on Battle.net
Import custom Song
Long Notes
Completely customly remove BJ's
(Anything else i forgot to write)

Percentages:
Triggers: 90%
Songs: 65%
Other: 75%

Description:
Notes pass down lanes, coloured in the order Green(Q), Red(W), Yellow(E), Blue(R) and Orange(T). They all have their own lanes, and head for seperate points. When the notes enter the Circle at the bottom of your view, you must press the left arrow key to strum, and the letter corresponding to the colour. The notes "Hammerons" Look like this: (RED HAMMERON)

Spoiler

The normal notes look the same as in Guitar hero, and Chords (Notes you hit two at a time) look like this: (RED CHORD)

Spoiler

Intresting Info:

Spoiler

You CANNOT be booed off the stage!
Notes have around a 0.5 second moment in which they can be struck while in the circle
Every Song's max score and percentage hit can be saved into one code
You CAN Get a score Times multiplyer up to 4

Planned for Future Versions:

Spoiler

Make Your Own Song! (Yes, In-game, I figured out how to GUI it =D)

Nicely pictured, great idea and an amazing effort. Keep it going, and this will be a #1 hit amongst many players.

 

[nemesispoi]

make sure that this isnt as crappy as frets on fire where you have to hit the notes exactly on the dot

 

[PureOwnage]

Nice effort. I'm guessing the unit has a skill and when you press q,w,e,r,t, you kill the note.

 

[Squishy]

In order for this to work, wouldn't you need to detect when Q,W,E,R and T are released as well? How are you going to achieve that?

 

[punwisp]

Oh God.... I hate Guitar hero!! Why must they bring it to warcraft! xD

So much for Dota taking over wc3 =O

 

[cowmenace]

honestly IMO if people wanted more guitar hero they would play SCGHMD3 or something like it
but I'm looking forward to being proved wrong. Good luck

Yes, the letters are abilties

You may press the note once for every strum (I have given around a 0.5 Second delay between which you must strum and hit the note). I am also not decided on how to do Long Notes, any ideas will be great.

-BuMp-
(I think your allowed to do that, lol)

Damnit... I was making a Guitar Hero map...

I only got round to programming one song into it anyway

Hopefully you get further than I did. And if you want, I will send you my map to show you what I have done, so you can get anything off it that you want.

Also, if you want any help, just ask me. I will be glad to help.

(PM me if you wanna have a look at my map)

I am WELL into the triggering, i have all but long note systems for notes set up, 4 songs pretty much finished etc, but i would be intrested to see what i did differently to you.

 

[UndeadDragon]

Ok, I will send you the map, or a link to it.

I never actually worked out how to do the long notes, so you beat me on that

I'm going to be amazed if this makes it on to b.net with out the "Map too big" error ;P.

There's no Hero in Super Crazy Guitar Maniac Deluxe 3 D:

 

[punwisp]

Question... Why would you want to make guitar hero for wc3? Just play it on a system or something -_-

 

[Ellimistrox]

The map is currently 261 KB after optimised (Thank god for Vexorian)

And people would want to play it because:
1. I Don't have any consoles.
2. Guitar hero is too expensive
3. This was i can instantly freely exchange my scores with other players
4. Many new songs (REQUESTABLE even, later) from the games on console.

 

[punwisp]

I dont see what makes guitar hero so popular anyway @_@

 

[demotry241]

I agree.. just like how 'dance dance revolution' has done in the past.

Wow, how long are the songs?? 261 KB is tiny for a WC3 map even a map with no imports

Well I have done the two practice songs to around 2 mins 30 secs each. The songs with sound are up for Revision though, so i can't tell you how long they'll be.

I SEE what you mean, No, neither of the 2 proper songs are imported, the credits song and Storm, Earth and Fire. I plan on importing a song in Beta 0.0.5 for testing.

 

[UndeadDragon]

Oh right, I was importing songs into mine
