SL Deteriorated - Survivors

[Lord]

Well lol. Then not the barrel murdered u buddy (if it was a normal one). Maybe there was an enemy around u or one of Bess's bombs...

You have to set ar to 51, not to 1 - else it won't work.

Does that also work for ranged units. Because I was making an artillery system (the cannons would have low acquistion, so you would have to direct their fire manually) and they would always ran to the target, until they were within acquisition range and then fire.

 

[Lord]

No. For ranged units u have to set acquisition range to be more or equal to the attack range

 

[Parsimony]

Looks awesome. Really awesome.

How did you lock the camera like that?

 

[Lord]

Hey all again!
It's been a while since I released the first beta, which lets say wasn't that good. It was buggy, hard to play, short and a bit plain. Now after a loooong holiday I've retuned and brought you beta 2. Miles away from the first version it's bugless, long and much more exciting with lots of new systems and monsters. It still needs some final touches, but I'll give you a dl link soon. Hope you guys didn't lose your interests .

*Progress Updated!

GL&HF!

Hey, what I think you should add, would be a system.
A system like in 300 wc3 game.
Were you would have to get into a line at one point, at another just head on, then retreat. This would add much more sense to the game, and more ideas of tactics.

Perhaps there should be parts to the map were you would lure someone somewhere, were they would die. And that would require tactics, like aggro this guy, while we shoot.. w/e..

Like basing you strategy on your team would be fun, then pros would have games.. etc..

Well I don't really know what you mean, coz I've never played with 300... Dl demo 2, play it, and then share your comments and ideas again.


So here it is guys. Demo 2 is finally complete (well afaik). You can download it from my site:

Now it's playable in single player too. Bots have no special AI, so they'll just follow Player 1 and attack if they see an enemy. They won't use any of their abilities so it's recommended to play the map on Bnet with human companions...
I hope you'll like it. GL&HF

 

[Lord]

WoW... Nobody warned me bout a lil problem: the map isn't working.
Well I've uploaded a new working version to my site. I've fixed some little bugs too, so it's pretty cool now. DL and try it, then give me some feedback. I'm not making these for myself guys.

***EDIT***

The DL links are the same!

 

[Lord]

Hello all!
So many time I've wasted on this project. So many ciggies I've smoked coz on test something went wrong. Now I ask myself: Was it worth it?
My answer is: yes.
I've learned so many things when made the final beta of Survivors, which can be downloaded from here:

The list of thing I've changed is so long... Download the map if you like horror-style maps, and have fun!
Feedback welcomed! Good Luck!

Looks cool, but it is similar to Surviver on TV?

 

[Baby-Bever]

Like Survivers on tv?? What's that?

However, this game is taking place in the world which Lord created quite some time ago. The main characters is from Lords first custom campaign, "Sunwood Legends" aswell as his second, "Deteriorated"

The main point of the game is to (as you can guess due to the game name), survive, whilst escaping some kind of place. (Ask Lord about further information on that, or simply play the "Deteriorated" campaign). You can play as either of five characters. You cannot chose character directly, rather depending on your colour you get an hero. Your party consists of up to five people. If you come too far away from your teammates, a lot of monsters will spawn (thus problary slaying you). If ANYONE from your team dies, you all will lose.

This game uses an quite unusuall camera mode, it's locked not too far from the character you play with, and this hinders you too see what is coming from behind. You steer your character by using the arrow keys. Simply approaching the enemy won't be enough to attack it, you have to right-click on it to attack.

That would be it I beleive. (I am also aware that most of this already is written in the previous posts, but as he asked, I answered)

Lord, did you test the whole map with ATLEAST 2 players? I believe that when I last tested it toghether with you A heck of alot creatures spawned when we entered the subway, thus killing both of us almost immediatly. Another question would be if you have been removing leaks. (I doubt that as you don't do it in our common project. ).

Anyways great job!

Final Version!

Well I'm back after a long long slumber! The very final version of Survivors is complete! It's really enjoyable in my opinion. There are still a few small bugs in it, but nothing serious. I hope you (who dare to dl it) will find it exciting! Have Fun!

This seems cool, I like the way the camera goes.

Is it still playable single player?

Em... I dled it but it doesn't work. I can't read that type of file... Oh well.

 

[Lord]

You need the Frozen Throne expansion with the latest patch to play the map.
Thanks for the download anyway.

 

[Cilla]

This sounds really good, gotta test it when I reinstall WE etc.
I hope I can use all those little tools with Vista 64Bit hmm..

 

[Kyonu]

Might not be bad in Multi player mode, but in single it really, really isn't that good.

 

[Lord]

Thanks for your posts guys!

You're right Kyonu. It's a multiplayer based game. Computer controlled companions are just following the leader character, and attack only when enemies come real close to them. Maybe I'll update the game and give it a better AI once, but right now I have to concentrate to other projects. As I said it's a multiplayer based game (I don't really like making single campaigns --> takes too much time; no one really likes them when ppl can play other maps online). I had some downloads in the last 2 days. Surely someone will host in on bnet just to try it out.

[Kyonu]

Ya, I get that. I just felt it was a need to post, since the AI followed me into a building, and blocked the doorway, and wouldn't move. So I got irritated, that's all.

 

[Lord]

You have an ability called 'Follow Me!'. You can use it when something like that happens. It orders the target to move next to you.
I know it's freakin annoying tho...

 

[Lord]

I've uploaded the (hopefully) latest version of survivors to my site and also to the Hive. It's fully bugless now. Check it out if you are still interested...
