Hello everybody. I'm here to introduce what is actually my first published work but also a pretty unique one in the fact that it's made out of boredom and randomness.

Ragnar's Journey

This map is a cinematic that recreates the beginning of the single player cinematic of the game Rune (Which is a really amazing Viking Norse killing game). It also is a trailer for that it presents different scenes together.

This took me about 2 days to make using several custom resources with credits given in the loading screen. The file size is really big I know but it's a cinematic so I don't find this much of an issue.

This map after completion also gave me a little idea. I would like people's opinions on weather I should recreate the single player of Rune based on this cinematic. I personally don't want to start early and stop later so it's best to know people's opinions on this.

The triggering in this is also all gui except for a repeated line of jass I used so it's not leakless but then again, I'm not exactly adept on the triggering front.

Enjoy and please post feedback.

That was pretty epic! :thup:
Awesome how you had the sounds and voicing from the game. (did you record the talking, or was it from like the game)
The animations were nice too with the attacking and fighting like in reality instead of just hitting until death.
Story was nice, and interesting.

Some things to work on:
-Terrain was good, just decent, but could've been better to match the standards of the other better parts of the cinematic, :) Like make it more realistic with more doodads, and the arena place, I think that was a bad tileset for that place
-Not sure how to say this, just polish things up, like make sure the bodies are pushed down in height so that they actually lie on the floor instead of floating in the air, heh
-Valient is spelled Valiant, :p

Camera was fine, but you didn't really change it even once. It was just panning most of the time, that's okay, but you could move it around sometimes, to make it more intense and interesting. Like zoom in on one person, and closer to the face, occasionally when talking. Camera can also be used nicely to emphasize some parts like if you're doing an attack in slow-motion.

But anyways, it's really good, :) I like it. Are you going to continue it?

Thx for the feedback, since I have time on my hands I might as well improvise upon it.

And I actually used an extractor program to get the sounds from my rune folder. (I still play the game a lot :D)

    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
