Okay, well the other day, I was on my xbox, and got a demo for a game called Section 8 (click the link for info on it), and I got thinking. I've never seen a game like this on WC3, and I think it'd be a very interesting addition to the game (WC3).

So far, I've figured out what it's going to be like.
It's going to be a lot like Section 8, but still unique.
I plan on having a "drop in" system, like what Section 8 uses, and I've already begun working on terrain (no screens yet), but I'm stuck on everything else.

I don't plan on having very many heroes. Probably 3-6 that you can choose from, but very customizable with many items, and stat attribs (along with spell builds)... Just a few things I've thought of, hero-wise.

My whole point behind hosting this is to get ideas for different systems I could make, or item ideas, or terrain suggestions (it's modern-style terrain, with roads and streetlights, and such (if I can find good models, of course)), or just comments on the idea! :thup:




Edit: After thinking for a minute, I figured I could give some info as to the actual goal of the game...

Okay, so the game is like a Capture the Flag style map, except instead of flags, it's bases.
The whole point is to capture all the bases on the map, OR score a high enough score to win (usually around 1000, or 2500).
Each player will be able to pick a hero (I'm thinking either 4 or 6), each with only a base spell, and each different (some ranges, some melee, some with more stats, less HP, some with less stats, more HP, etc...).
Each hero will begin with a single spell, but the player can later choose new spells for the hero, after each level.
Players can also customize the heroes stats (you get X points each level, which you can pick what attribute they go ti).
I'm planning on making about 50-100+ items, each adding more attack, or more defense, another spell, and such...

So yeah, that's all I got at the moment. :D

Is there anything we can do for you? :)
I think it's a great idea! Haha, I've seen the trailer in YouTube. However, there are already MANY maps like this that's been done before... so you gotta have something unique that would make your map stand out of the rest IN A GOOD WAY.

Well, I'm going to attempt to create a lot of the features that Section 8 has, like dropping in, and being able to select your "build".
It'll take awhile, but I hope it'll be a fun map.

    How come you're so into recipes lately? Never saw this much interest in this topic in the old days of TH.net

    Hmm, how do I change my signature?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    @tom_mai78101 I must be blind. If I go on my profile I don't see any area to edit the signature; If I go to account details (settings) I don't see any signature area either.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    You can get there if you click the bell icon (alerts) and choose preferences from the bottom, signature will be in the menu on the left there https://www.thehelper.net/account/preferences

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though

    Heard Houston got hit pretty bad by storms last night. Hope all is well with TH.
