Type: Highly Experimental Shooter <For Warcraft III at least> Overhead shooter

Story: A group of turtles in a lab have undergone a malicious experiment. The once innocent turtles have been transformed into rampaging war machines! The turtles are driven mad by the experiments conducted on them and assaulted one of the scientists responsible. Arthur was his name, he is now a victim of the victims. We found his body impaled on top of one of the turtle's shells, apparently that is but one of the many unintended side effects of the experiment. The turtles where caged in their experimental cages, but something was different, they where not surrounded by the darkness of the experimental room, but rather surrounded by lakes of fire. This is the dungeon, the dungeon where failed experiments pit against each other. In the dungeon each combatant is assigned a team, red or blue, there they must duke it out and defeat each other, the prize is their freedom.

Tileset: A red dungeon filled with edible mushrooms.... but i don't suggest you eat one... that is if i allow you to eat one *cough* THEIR MINE I TELL YOU!! (The mushrooms, as giant as they are, are now preserved for Psiblade's consumption)

Systems included:
Smart attack system - Right click to fire your weapons, the distance clicked will affect what weapon is fired
WASD Movement system - This map uses WASD to move your hero
Shell system - Every turtle has a thick shell. Every attack thats dealt to the turtle will be absorbed somewhat by the shell, but in return the shell will be damaged. Every point taken off the shell will lower the shell's ability to absorb further damage. A side effect of the experiments is a extremely hard shell and the ability to regrow the shell. The shell ignores a large portion of the damage dealt to it, the ratio is 10 damage for 1 shell point.

Weapon types

Instant - Instantly blows the target area up, if you clicked the ground then no damage is dealt, but you click on a target then you will deal a small amount of damage. These weapons are generally made for rapid fire purposes because of their low heat generation.

Missiles - Fires a missile in the direction you clicked, it will travel until it reaches it's range limit or if it hits something

Siege - Lobs a projectile into the air, upon impact it will deal damage around the impact zone. If it hits squarely on it's target then it will deal massive amounts of damage on target's core. These weapons are hard to aim and ignore the target's shell.

Stats: Different attack types receive different bonuses from your Attack stat (str)

Woo missiles! <actually the weapon is called barrage, it is the starting siege type weapon>

Note: Because of the huge changes made to orbiting battle, I've decided on making a clean thread for this project, hell I'm making it an entirely new project altogether

Version 1 to release with first 3 weapons to experience the 3 weapon types, the date it will be released is after i have finished clearing the map of unneeded pathing blockers to prevent the map from being too cramped. But, for now i shall take some time celebrating the fact that i finally conquered the crappy collision in this map <Woo it actually detects now XD>

Many Thanks to
banana.HUNTR (GeertPingen) for the terrain
unwirklich for the Demon UI used in this map which fits perfectly

Bug List from demo version onward:
- missiles do not damage bases <damage detection on turtles have not been confirmed yet>

Multiplayer demo released, IT IS A PROTECTED MAP

i suck as a terrainer, geert posted a terrain map title "dungen map". I asked if i can use it and he said yes, so i dled that map and imported all my object and trigger data over, then i redid the pathing for that map and this map was produced.

Current bugs found: missiles do not damage bases <damage detection on turtles have not been confirmed yet>

wew, pretty funny game but it is rather annoying to keep pressing w if you want your turtle to move. Why can't i hold the key? (any idea for this?)

or maybe this will work... when you activate the ability w, you keep moving forward until oyu press w again or press other keys such as asd.

then i might as well destroy the slow down functions for the map <meaning that you push W to accelerate, but you will not slow down unless you catch fire <this would not be hard to impliment>>

if i where to do it that way, would you guys want the slowdown to still apply for when the turtle is in reverse?

    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
