What is the problem with the Dragon and Archnathid rune? Why are they still inactive?
Nice that you removed the boring temporary items. Are you planning on creating your own? I can help you with some ideas. :thup:

 

[13lade619]

I need a better idea for the Dragon Rune, something offense oriented that can work for tanks or maybe even dps.

Arachnathid Rune is still in line for recoding (more stuff ahead of priority)

EDIT:

ima firin' mah lazorz!!

 

[Earlenlajnen]

Ahh... you changed the tower model. They seem a little dark to me. What was wrong with the first model?

HOLY~! I WAN TEH L@Z0R!

Anyway, I sense that you've been playing loads of LoL. Minions 0_o

It is difficult to actually create an offensive rune that works well with tanks and mages, as well as DPS. What you can try is something that creates small little Dragonlings that fly around you for teh lulz.

 

[13lade619]

Finished coding the 'minion' aggression system.

1) Minions will not attack the hero when there are still enemy minions around.
2) Minions will only attack the hero if it is alone.
3) When a hero damages a nearby allied hero the minions will bypass rule number 1 and go straight for the attacker.

1) Towers will not attack the hero when there enemy minions around.
2) Towers will be forced to attack a hero when it damages a nearby allied hero.

and here;s the model for the 'thing'.. i dont know if it will progress into a hero but if i get good enough ideas for it then why not.

The dissipation looks pretty sweet 0_o
This system will be extremely convenient for players. Did you get a chance to test the map multiplayer? Or is that an AI I see?

PS: Garena's hosting LoL SEA!

Was just playing around with the map. However, after I while, I kept getting debug message of something "has reached the limit". I can't remember exactly.

 

[13lade619]

seriously? that could be a severe problem.

do you have the LastReplay file? (best solution).

what hero were you using?
(might be skill related)

how long did you play?
(i once tested the spawn consistencies by leaving the map running for about an hour or more, no heroes used though.)

did you have severe problems after that?

The error message kept repeating and repeating endlessly. Let me find the replay. Hold on.

EDIT
Actually, I can't find the replay @_@. I was playing The Witch King. I think it occurred about 20-30 minutes in the game. MyLastReplay file is a test map that I tested

anything special you did or tried doing?
if you can remember, please be precise on the error message it gave.

i combed through all my triggers (i hope all of them) and found no debug mesage containing the word "limit" though.

and i tested spamming with the witch king with 1 sec cooldown on all abilities.
all i got was the AIDS error on a null unit (still havent figured that out, but i think it doesnt affect gameplay that much.)

I really can't remember that clearly. All I remember was that the error message was displaying constantly.

 

[13lade619]

ok...

in other news our country's inaugurating our new president tomorrow.

but why do you guys care right?...

because it's effectively a holiday for us meaning i'll be working on the map.

just finishing up for a few stuff now, i just recoded Gravity Chaos and one more hero to check some numbers.. other systems are a-ok.

 

[Tom_Kazansky]

13lade619, can I ask something?

Custom HP and Mana Model System.

these bars, are they.... units? or images?
-----
those bars are really cool, I want it for my map's casting bar, can you give me some hints in creating those?

WOOTZ! I'll try and get some friends to try this out tomorrow!

Just had a game of DotA. Absolutely awesome (Heart Zeus xD)
I'll try and get a game tomorrow, 'cos I have to get ready for something ATM. I'll throw in some feedback and a replay after the game

I hope it appeals to them

 

[Earlenlajnen]

Just tested Dravens Ghastly Whirlpool and got the following message:

Error using AIDS: Trying to get the id (inlines) of null unit.
(null)

Attached a replay for you to watch. Maybe it has something to do with that I was too close to the tower.

I loled at the failed attempt on my first spell!

 

[13lade619]

argh.. these things are annoying. i really dont know what causes them

since they're nearly not replicable..

i tried what you did (wolf buff on the exact same lane but nothing)

thanks for uploading

EDIT:

After carefully watching the replay.., found out stuff about what happened.

1, it happened when the spell ended.
2, the errors appeared by pair.
3, the errors were periodic.

 

[13lade619]

If anybody's interested i'll be hosting on Garena in about an hour or two.

I will be hosting the latest downloadable version of the game though.

Add me up, username 13lade619
