Even during two a days, I've had plenty of time. About the models, have you actually found a modeler yet because as I've said I need to talk to them. We need certain animations to make this playable. All that I need to finish Mausoleum and then soon Canals, so that are completely playable is a marine without his gun with custom animations allowing him to use all the weapons in each of those maps. I have thought of some really cool new weapons to add, there's more then two, but only the first two need to be made right now as one will be Mausoleum and another will be in Canals. Later, we will get Loctust and Cog versions of the marine made, but for now, it will be the marine, this will allow the model to made a lot sooner. These animations are required at this point for me to be able to get anything more done on the current maps. (except for triggering Canals bridges and camera angles)

Fixed my computer, for now anyways, so ill post Escalation here tonight and start cranking on Mansion.

 

[WhoIsJG]

Rough draft of Escalation is done. Here are some screenies.

Top half of map...

Bottom half....

Map is attached for world and digger to check out, or anyone else. It's protected. Post feedback. I didnt do anything with triggs and the only thing I did in Object Editor was change rifleman's scale value to 2.0 to check scale, it might need to be 2.5 for this map, as long as he will still fit through the smaller pathing spaces.

 

[Gravedigger]

You didn't attach the file, also it will be hard to setup the camera with a 2 scale rifleman, because that puts the camera inside the rifleman.

I have posted in some places and wiatin for a respons by some one. Um im not doing two a days but im in school then i have football prictice for 3 hours after so i only have little time on weekends.

 

[WhoIsJG]

Yeah I realized I hadnt attached it this morning when I was out. Its there now.

Ive started Mansion, so far its looking good, has anyone messed around with Clocktower?

 

[worldofDeath]

Im anti Clock tower hell no. Lol

 

[WhoIsJG]

Its all doable for WC3, except where the grenades are. Do you want it for the package?

And here is the first draft of Mansion, take a look, feedback is good.

I didnt put in nearly as many doodads as I did in Escalation since in Mansion almost everything that will be a doodad will have to be destructable so let me know if you want me to do all that or the modeler.

Also I had to use a lot more creative license with this map compared to Escaltion (which I thought turned out awesome as far as being true to the original) since of course Mansion has areas where in Gears you can walk under the second floor. I had to change the map some so it would still work, basically the side stairs on both sides to the second floor are changed making them shorter and more direct to the sniper rifle.

As usual its protected.

Try to see what you can get done on the weekends then, I'll send you an update you should do for the first post for this thread. There are freeware model editors out there, I believe Milkshape 3D is supposed to be pretty good. If you can edit a marine model next weekend so that he works for this project it would be awesome (I'll send you information on what to do if you can do it). I'm playing football too, however school hasn't started yet, so I still get plenty of time on the weekends, especially since the two a days are over now.

Right now no one is making Clocktower, Tyro Station or Rooftops, if you can get any or all of them done before the first release is ready they could be incuded, and the more we had, the better. I saw your Escalation map, it's just amazing and perfect for this project, however Mansion looks like the opposite so far. You do want to include as many doodads, multiple floors etc. as you can to make it look as good as possible. It is possible to have multiple floors in a wc3 map, so long as you trigger movement to allow it, I know how to do this, so you can have people going under the top floor in Mansion or under a bridge in Canals. Also doodads can always be made destructable later, if you need to, import models for some of them. If you do Tyro Station, include the track where the train should be, then I'll trigger the train coming by later. We might need a train model done for that map.

There are no existing models that would work in this project for the characters, weapons, etc., you're welcome to edit one so that they would though. If you can find good doodad models that would be very helpful though.

I must admit I put alot more time into Escalation before posting it since it was so straight forward. I wanted you guys to take a look at Mansion earlier since I had altered the layout and wanted some reactions on the basic structure.

I havent done multiple floors before but ill take a crack at it and go ahead and put all the doodads in.
