Hello members of thehelper.net wc3 community.
I have been a fan of wc3 mods for a long time and am currently a 4th year software engineer.
In my spare time for the last 4 months I have been porting the elements that i loved from sliding mazes into a game on android. I am looking to contact the sliding community wherever i can in order for them to gain involvement. Upon release this game will be made free and open source.

>Interested.

What are your current ideas on this app? I assume you want that smooth motion of sliding on ice, are you trying to make a direct replica of the sliding maps? Will it be single player or multiplayer?

Will it be touch-screen based? Will the touch direct the movement/facing angle or will there be a "joystick" in the corner?

Just a general feedback on idea's and thoughts would be appreciated.

Wrong forum; this is for wc3 projects (Models, maps for war3), not games for androids.

Wc3 projects are pretty much dead anyway, minimal activity here in months.
Regardless, I am interested in converting old classics into new-age apps for android devices.

As soon as you make any progress and need any assistance, drop me a PM. Good luck

So far I have implemented a lot of the obstacles from the original maps such as patrolling enemies, catapults, ground traps, jump/speed pads among others, I also liked the bosses from mazes like sliding loop as so at the end of each section you will find these, I have accommodated to the casual android players by simply having you fall over (tap to get back up) when hitting the edges to make it less punishing. The sliding on ice is pretty close to how it was but I had to lock the screen on the player so it feels different feedback/ideas in this area would be nice as having large scrolling maps on android was one of the goals of this project.

An important question is still that of multiplayer vs single player.

Also what software are you designing this in?
I'd gladly do some testing if you would like

I wrote my game engine from scratch in java as well as a level editor which run on a PC using javas canvas.. at the same time im working on the android version using opengl... theres still a lot of problems im working on to package a testing application but hopefully that will be soon... single vs multiplayer is something people seem most enthusiastic about but as i dont have servers, money or time... it probably wont happen in the near future.

    They also were digging threw old shit at the sheriff's office and I tried to get them to give me the old electronic stuff, but they said no. They can't give it to people because they might use it to impersonate a cop or break into their network or some shit? idk but it was a shame to see them take a whole bunch of radios and shit to get shredded and landfilled

    Hmm, how do I change my signature?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    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.

    @tom_mai78101 I must be blind. If I go on my profile I don't see any area to edit the signature; If I go to account details (settings) I don't see any signature area either.

    You can get there if you click the bell icon (alerts) and choose preferences from the bottom, signature will be in the menu on the left there https://www.thehelper.net/account/preferences

    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.
