God I can't wait to finish this.

How long time will it take?

 

[black.sheep]

I've managed to successfuly implement custom missiles for all ranged attacks (thanks to Kenny's system), finally finished the attack system which includes triggered damage, critical strikes, damage blocks, misses, dodges, lifesteal, damage returns, attack stuns and other stuff which can be now added in like two minutes.

Brilliant. This map shall now pwn.

How long time will it take?

No idea, it depends on what everything I'll be doing. However before the first release I have to finish:

recoding hero spells
adding categories and locking items
adding neutral creeps on map (with little terrain edit)

I'll try to do these things as soon as possible.

 

[Viikuna]

Sounds cool.

What kind of formula you used to calculate attack damage before armor and resistances for those projectiles?

 

[Furby]

I didn't need any formula.

My system works differently, I saved damage and other stuff for all units in structs, I'm calculating new damage then, which is much better IMO.

 

[Viikuna]

So you do something like [lJASS]GetRandomReal(.DamageMin, .DamageMax) + .PrimaryAttribute + .damage[/lJASS] then?

Well, it doesnt really matter, as long as it works.
I just dont wanna die, because my +10000 armor blessing didnt block enemy arrows.

Anyways, I feel like some cool ideas are about to emerge, and Ill post some of them soon...

 

[Furby]

I'm doing exactly this:

if IsUnitType(att, UNIT_TYPE_HERO) then
    set dmg = (attud.baseDmg + Status[att].getDamageBonus() + GetHeroMainAttValue(att, attud.mainAtt, true)) + attud.numberDmg * GetRandomInt(1, attud.sidesDmg)
else
    set dmg = (attud.baseDmg + Status[att].getDamageBonus()) + attud.numberDmg * GetRandomInt(1, attud.sidesDmg)
endif

attud - is UnitData struct

And don't worry, you won't die with your blessing.

 

[Bloodcount]

I am expecting a Gosu comeback for this map !

 

[Carnerox]

I am excepting a Dota Domination!

 

[Viikuna]

Omg, I can actually re use this post I made in Xarwins Hive AoS thread.

Have to lol.

Actually, creating a more popular wc3 map than DotA is impossible, because DotA alone has a bigger player base than rest of wc3.


And yea, AoS is indeed a fast paced action game, like Septimus said.
Its all about cool player vs player combat. You need to focus on that.

Cool heroes are everything. They need to look cool. They need to do cool stuff. Thats most important.

Also improving normal wc3 hero system with new mechanics such as Blood Meter, is not a bad idea. You dont neccesarily have to live with only health and mana, for example.

Its hero vs hero combat you need to focus on. Make it interesting and cool and funny and wicked and everybody will love it.

Anyways, that newest version I dowloaded didnt have the new swamp terrain yet. When are we going to see it?

 

[Furby]

Of course it doesn't have, read few of my previous posts. :thup:

 

[Viikuna]

Al right.


And oh yea, Im not sure if I have said this yet, but make sure that there is enough space between teams towers. ( Id personally make towers only inside base walls, and not at lane at all.. )

In some old version I played, you couldnt really start any cool combat, because there wants enough space for that.

 

[Furby]

That's actually very good suggestion, I'll remove on tower on the lane, so outside walls there will be only one. Thanks.

 

[Seprest]

I just want to say that your trailer is awesome. Makes me want to play.

 

[Furby]

Oh, thank you!

And for the progress:

- I've recoded 18 spells already, 19 more to go
- I've removed the first towers, so now it's only one tower outside the walls
- I still have a lot of work on items, but that should come after spells

Well, that's all I can say for now, I have two more days of vacation so I should be able to make some larger progress.

If you have any question, ideas or suggestions, just post here. :thup:

 

[Carnerox]

Did you see the new hero i posted? D:

 

[Furby]

Eh.. I didn't. I'm sorry I wasn't checking it.. I will now.

- another two spells recoded, Depression and Tormenting Past

 

[Carnerox]

Nice, so what will be worked on after the spell redcodes are done?

 

[Furby]

Items. Item categories, item locking, item unlocking.
