@vypur85 That link was what I needed. Adding and removing the custom max life modifier ability each time I needed max life increased did it. I must point out to anyone who looks at that map that adding a NEGATIVE number to max life increases it - NOT a positive one. Life regen and speed auras...

Triggers eh? That sounds promising. Thanks for your help guys! :) I'll look into all the links and try out a few things myself, you've given me some ideas. I'll let you know later today or sometime tomorrow how I went. Btw @jonas I am a GUI user. I've been curious about JASS haven't got into...

Ahh ok, that's why the item ones don't work. Yeah they are all passives. I will give the option to change hero though. The way I saw another map do it is via creating an aura (doesn't seem to matter which one), and giving it a buff to give the specific bonus. Problem is that the buffs never...

@Accname Sorry! The abilities I want to make are hero abilities that increase max hitpoint, speed and give life regeneration to just your hero (ship). @death_knight Thanks for your reply! I basically did what you said with items already, so I might try auras; What I've tried for the adding...

I'm working on a Battleships map for me and a few friends and I'm having trouble with skills for hit points, regeneration and speed - only the first point put into them does anything and only the speed upgrade (based on a hero ability, not item ability) actually appears in purchased skills for...

I'm interested in both web and games development and want to use Microsoft Visual Studio 2012. Can I install both express for web and windows desktop side by side? Also I'd like to make my websites with SQL Management Studio 2012. Is there anything I should know before before I install all 3...

I'd like to create, from a blank project, a window using direct x 11 SDK in Microsoft Visual Studio 2012. I'm on Windows 7 64bit. I'm sure this is somewhere on the web, but I can't seem to find anyone who shows the complete working code, just snippets or does it for different versions of...

Cheers, made a new project and put the code in (using visual studio 2010), but it can't find sdl.h I know I figured out how to fix this ages ago, can't remember how though. I think I'd have to find the library of sdl files somewhere, but I haven't found em yet

Cheers, I'll take a look. What I want to do is basically what you said; + Load and Image + Create a new image based off pixel color of the old + Save the new image I'm making an overworld map for an old game called arcanum. The game's world editor generates a simple map which looks like it...

Hi, I'm using Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 and I would like to be able to load a BMP file, modify it based on the colors it has and create a new BMP file with the modifications. I've googled around and have seen some code, but didn't understand it all or at least how to modify it to do what I...

Thanks very much! Map is optimized and protected as it can be. One thing I'm not sure of though; do I need to upload the J file in addition to the w3x file?

I made do how I make a map so that people can't view/modify it in the world editor? Thanks in advance

A couple of questions; 1) "What you need to know is basic Input and Output concerning files. Just store the necessary information in a file which can look along the lines of this, depending on what you need. XML would be suitable as well, as all you're doing is parsing a file and loading the...

Thanks for your comments replies ^_^. My problem is that C++ is a pain in the arse to find any information on and requires buggy software like MS VS studio to run on. I'm trying to make a game, but my uni games course missed a few important things. What I want to know is how to do: Message...

I need some help learning how to do 3D games with java. I've searched high and low on the internets, but I haven't found a 3D java tutorial which tells me all the current software I need and how to use it. Usually they're 10 years old or old enough that the software they list isn't current. What...
