Dark Invasion - ORPG

Looks wonderful...well from what the screenshots and youtube video look like

I'll test it later on after all this schoolwork and vacation...look forward to a review underneath this line.

_____________________

Hmm, I say, this is great! Well, by looking at the YouTube video, that is.

I'll download it as soon as I can and see what I think. Meanwhile, just wait in a depressing corner, waiting for my flaming and abuse. Just joking.

looks like a well-made map, though I haven't seen all the 17000 doodads yet

is there no way to have a single-player walk-through?

Single player is disabled to prevent cheating, guess you'll have to find someone to play with

I think I found a bug. I was playing as the Lich, and i used the ability wreathe on an enemy red turtle. However, just as I finished casting, an ally killled the turtle. At this point the map froze up w/ massive lag. We could still send msgs and select units etc., but nothing happened, and it was stuck in one frame. Look into this and see if you find anything. Or it could have just been a old version and you already fixed it, but I think that you should check just in case.

That sounds weird, did everything work properly after this spike? Are you sure it was the game and not someone lagging? Never heard of a similar experience...

Released 1.0.3b

Changelog for those who are interested can be found at the forums:

To any admin/moderator:
Why can't I update the map on this site? When I try to upload the new version it's still the old version when I click the download link...

Click to expand...

I don't think it was a lag spike, becuase the game never stopped lagging, and i didn't get the d/chammer

I tried to test this map online but theres a problem. If one idiot decides not to choose a character the game NEVER starts...seriously you should make a boot system, or a force choose thing. It's annoying.

Never thought of that, I will fix that.

I read about the game it looks fantastic, so I downloaded it and tried to play single game, but I got the message MultiPlayer only.

Now, I can see why you would want only Multiplayer games, so players would not use cheats etc., save their character and go play on Battle.net. However, not everyone can host games, and this game isn't popular just yet, so it is not easy to find a group to play it. My suggestion is quite simple. Allow us to play single player games, but don't allow us to save nor to load.

If you could add it in the next version it would be great.

You have a point there...
I'll see what I can do.

1.0.4 is now released!

A restricted single player mode is now available, this version also features new items, quests and some bug fixes. Check the forums for download link and changelog.

1.0.5 released.

Some bug fixes and new features for helping new people understand the concept.

How did you do those mountains? When I use raise tool my edges gets much more round and I can't get 'em as high

You need to edit the MiscData file located in War3/UI folder.

Look for this:


That's it if I remember correctly.

Still so great! Gonna level my hero later tonight!

Can you create a -testcode function for the save load? Myself and several friends have had some trouble saving and loading on this map, we're all very sure that we copied the code correctly, so just a little something where we could paste the code and see if it was the actual save code would be great
