version 04-02-10 now available!

- Slightly increases material drop chance for almost all materials and rare materials
- Fixed pathing at the Giant Wolf's place
- Fixed a bug that rendered a hero invulnerable when dying during the D2 boss cinematic

- Fixed bugs with Confidence

Years have passed since the poison of Gaia sprung forth from the lands. Corrupted forests, inhospitable to all, have spread across the face of Kurodan, and borders have faded as all fled before the encroachment of the toxic spores. Ankhmaron, the last haven protected by the Grand River, has sent out messengers to gather volunteers for the task of finding a cure to the plague.
In a tavern close to the village Riversdale, a small group of adventurers have gathered, unknowing, that their search will turn out not to be just a race against time ...

Please report any bug you might encounter during your play. This helps us fixing problems faster, which results in faster new releases.

PS:
I know that I didn't add everyone to the Credits I used resources from. I lost track on all the things I imported into the map. If you made something I didn't give credit to, send me a PM please and the name of the resource.

I'll probably be giving this a try. I can already spot several grammar and syntax mistakes. If I do get around to playing this I will be sure to point out any mistakes I find. Looks fun enough from what I can see.

 

[Frosthowl]

Hey, I'll do text and proof reading for you. I'm pretty creative and my english is fine.

 

[Zwiebelchen]

Thanks for testing ... I know that my english isn't very great ... that's why we are looking for americans/english people that can help us here.


EDIT:
Updated the original post with a list of known bugs.

 

[MagnaGuard]

Looks awesome with all those models :thup:

 

[thewrongvine]

lol, you sweat from making a map?

Looks cool, I'll try it out when I can. :thup:

~Hai-Bye-Vine~

 

[D.V.D]

I played it. You need to terrain a lot more but, the terrain so far is really well made. The cave looks really cool, the insides look really cool. I like the map. +rep.

 

[NightFelix]

I like the terrain, the terrain are very nice! it seems to be those creep vision are so far(example: a melee wolf was detection me passing by from like 600 range far away.) another thing, after people entering building, can you remove the wall bottom? because it was hard to see those thing and the exit region(maybe change to transparent)

Haven't found the variable in the gameplay constants yet that determines the attacking range. I guess this is hardcoded to 500.

another thing, after people entering building, can you remove the wall bottom? because it was hard to see those thing and the exit region(maybe change to transparent)

Hmm ... In case of not seing the signal, you can also just go to the door. The signal is always at the door and you can also see it from the other side ...

 

[runewel]

Umm.. The rapidshare file is limited. 10 people only. relink please? i'd love to try this map.

 

[Zwiebelchen]

uh didnt know about that. I will upload an improved version in some minutes.

EDIT: Uploaded a new version now on Megaupload (this should have no dl limit). --> Link in first post


Fixed some minor things:
- Wrong tooltips on some items
- Bug that caused the Troll Magi not to drop the cleric book
- Some issues with the fireball spell
- Moved the mob group behind the second cave boss some meters away. Hopefully this will fix the problem with the adding group.
- Fixed the revive bug

There is Creep Guard and Return Range but this is totally crap...

What you need to do is change the Units Acquisition Range(the range it can acquire a target) and change the Units Sight and Day Radius(it cant attack/help what it cant see)

These two variables have nothing to do with the mentioned problem.

What you need to do is change the Units Acquisition Range(the range it can acquire a target) and change the Units Sight and Day Radius(it cant attack/help what it cant see)

Neutral Hostile units act different. This just works on Non-AI hostile players, not on Neutral Hostile. Neutral Hostile units will always attack at a range of 500 (or 200 if you set them to camp mode) or even more early, if the aquisition range is higher than 500.

 

[Zwiebelchen]

Btw, did someone of the testers encounter a desync in the map? Since I got problems with init-desyncing recently. Though I checked it with an older version of the map and it happened again, which is odd, because that never happened before.

If everything worked fine when u were playing it, then it's a problem with my connection. Please report back any desync!

 

[Zwiebelchen]

Awww, c'mon people, what's up? We need feedback ^^

 

[MagnaGuard]

Uh.. I couldn't even kill a level 1 wolf no matter how I tried as the mage :thdown:

Errrm ... it's a team rpg?

 

[MagnaGuard]

Aw, maybe make a difficulty trigger. Like if <= 1 player then set handicap to 70%

 

[wraithseeker]

That would be pointless, he still have do set damage, armour, attack speed, hp of bosses quests and such etc. It will be really tough to do a nice looking difficulty setting.

 

[SaMmM]

I cant dl from megaupload.

Please rehost on www.mediafire.com

Do you need a Graphics guy? But i dont do models, skinning etc.

To be honest, the fonts on the image is not really nice.
