Harry Potter Magic Fight

[Viikuna]

Harry Potter

Hello everybody!

This is Harry Potter map, created by me (Viikuna) and Lillerinmuna.
I decided to post it here so you can play it and give me some critism about map.

How to Play?
Gameplay is pretty simple: you need to use various magical abilities to defeat your enemies.
When game starts, Player Red can set nuber of rounds needed for victory.

What Next?
Im trying to find bugs and create some new features.
This version is very early version ad I will update this later.



Feel free to post comments and stuff..

EDIT. New Version updated 15.5.2008
You can download map from here



Viikuna

I will post more information later.

Can you host a beta test?

I'd like to play.

Find some harry potter font for your image... Don't use default fonts

Tried it, it seems fun!
Plus, I thought some spells like Crucio and Imperio don't have projectiles?
Everyone is gonna spam Avada Kedavra...

 

[FrozenShadow]

One Question, why don't you make the crucio be based of frost nova so the effect is instant and there's no projectile, just make sure you take out the slow

 

[Viikuna]

Hey thanks for reply everyone!

I have allways tought that every spell in Harry Potter has somekind of projectile. Maybe not visible, but there is surely some magic flying trought the air, since they can dodge spells like crucio.

Anyways thanks for your comments

We are going to design some items for next version:
invisibility cloak for ambushing enemies
crystal ball for revealing them, since its kinda hard to find them sometimes.

If you have any ideas please post them too and we se what we can do

For those non-projectile magic, I suggest you retain the original projectile, but make it alot faster and invisible.

Therefore, if the caster misses, too bad!

 

[Viikuna]

I might just try that

I have found some bugs now and I will fix them in few days.
New version might get a bit delayed, because Lillerinmuna is having tons of new ideas. He is creating some Gladiator map, and wants me to create camera system for it. He is also creating lots of models&skins and planning some cinematic about famous Finnish soap opera

Anyways I have hosted this map on b-net few times. Most of players like to kill their allies and its causing some problems, but many players like this map a lot so I feel positive

Thanks for your comments everyone !

not so long ago (a year) i tried a map that looks completely like that exept the terrain was different, it was called Harry potter Arena.¨

they used exactly same model for death eaters (or whatever) and text for awada kedavra. that seems very suspicius.

i will check you map out.

You should really try it out before you say something like that
DeathEater -model is modified acolyte created by Lillerinmuna.
That wizard guy is based on priest I think, it is also created by Lillerinmuna.
( it uses Footman animations, thats why it walks so weirdly )

Those are the obvious text and model choices, it doesn't mean the map is stolen.

 

[konerboy]

Yeah okay i tested it and this was much more complicated Soz mate.

 

[Viikuna]

No problem

I forgot to mention that Lillerinmuna is active in HiveWorkshop, so if you want ask something related to models, you should do it there ( Im not sure if he has creted a thread there or uploaded this map, but I will ask ask him when I see him).

I more like a triggerer and he is model&skin maker and artististic person.
He made our prewier screen or whatever its called.

Anyways I gotta go sleep now so hello and bye bye everybody!

 

[thewrongvine]

I played it and it was sick. :thup:

Can't wait for a real game of this. AZEROTH EAST!

 

[set]

I luv <3 you for making it and map for been so GREAT
cant wait to be published!!!
btw do you have website/forum for this map?

 

[Viikuna]

Hey nice that you like it !
No, we dont have anykind of website, we just like to make maps.
Im going to make some more triggering tomorrow, so we can get little bit closer to next version. At this point I am going to include 2 shops and 3 magical items ( Invisibility Cloak, Crystal Ball, and Weasley Bros. Protego Hat )
Lillerinmuna has also a good idea for a nice gold income -system.

I hope you are exited, I surely am.

 

[set]

I got great offer for you
If you want it that is

Okay, I've played this with some friends.

It was great!
But more like a spamming contest
We threw all spells at all directions while dodging any coming to us.

The map was too big.
We didn't go anywhere, only to the nearest Hall where there are flying candles and several tables.

Notice that the Spellbooks didn't have Hotkeys =/
We also noticed that the spells didn't have Locust.

Suggestion :
-- Fix the Hotkeys to fit QWERTY keyboard for easier casting.
-- Or keep it that way so 'only' skilled player can really own.
-- Put the Spellbooks on (1,1) and (1,2) positions.

 

[Viikuna]

Thanks for reply!

Map is indeed too big. :/ In next version we are going to include some items that help players to find their enemies, and ambushing them when they are not careful enought. I hope this helps a little bit.

Spamming contest is actually a very good description
I dont really know how to make it less like spaming contest, but maybe we will figure out something.

Reason why projectiles dont have locust is that I have to detect when they collide each other. I dont really know how to detect units with locust.

About hotkeys, many people having German version of Warcraft have complained about wrong hotkeys. I dont really know why they dont work.
I guess we have to remake hotkeys completely.

Im going to go and remake that leaver removal trigger now, it bugs sometimes..

Thank for your comments! (again)
Dont stop posting

} #18 Viikuna
USE QWERASDFZXCV hotkeys, which would be easier?

} help players to find their enemies
Marauders' Map? Maybe give it a chance to be hidden in a few locations, and only 1 player can have it at any given time... and is droppable on death?

 

[darkRae]

How do you detect them usually?
With Unit Groups?
Then try 'Pick units of type...' or 'Pick units owned by player...'
