[HeX.16]

[Baldar]

for the name

That could work
Thank you

PS : Screenshots of the first areas : The cave in which the adventure starts, which is a home for Cave Orcs, and the Nightwood Forest, when you'll exit the cave, is habited by Humans and Night Trolls

 

[HeX.16]

Have you started with your project?

 

[Baldar]

Have you started with your project?

Of course, but just terrain and little trigger

 

[HeX.16]

Maybe some screenshots. Also how do you make the spoiler tags?

 

[Baldar]

Maybe some screenshots. Also how do you make the spoiler tags?

Screenshots of the terrain coming soon, hopefully.
Also I use [ SPOILER][ /SPOILER] (without spaces)

 

[Baldar]

Bump, still looking forto help in modelling and coding someone willing. Also, screenshots of the terrain coming soon

 

[aki15]

It's single player orpg?
And u could make Mount system too !

 

[Baldar]

It's single player orpg?
And u could make Mount system too !

yes, it's a single-player RPG
Mount system is impossible to make without proper attachments and animations

 

[Baldar]

I highly advanced on the terrain, I still need a JASSer to make the systems and then, I may release a Beta

 

[Baldar]

Bump : Sorry for the lack of screenshots I promised, I'm currently using WE as I'm not allowed (only at week-end )
Here's the overall progress of the Beta :
Terrain : IIIIIIIIII
Creeps : IIIIIIIIII
System : IIIIIIIIII
Quests : IIIIIIIIII
Items : IIIIIIIIII
Attachments : IIIIIIIIII
As you see, still needing a JASSer D: (Modeller is not that important at the moment

 

[GooS]

Mount system is impossible to make without proper attachments and animations

No,
-pause the mounter
-create the mount unit beneath it (eg. perhaps a horse)
-make the mounter unselectable
-set speed of mount to speed of mounter + whatever
-give mounter Crow Form and set fly height so it looks as if it sits on the horse
-start a periodic timer that slides the mounter to the position and angle of the mount.
-give mount ability that ends the periodic timer and removes the mount

With this you have a mounting ability that moves faster, you can't attack or do anything while mounted, you can add so that when struck in mounted form you get dissmounted or have a chance of getting dissmounted. Rather similar to World of Warcrafts mounting.

Biggest con:
The mounter will look stupidly still while the mount rides, can be fixed by asking a modeller to add an animation which makes him sway back and forth which plays in the periodic trigger if the mount is moving.

Other:
I've not tested this myself but it could work, instead of making the mounter unselectable one could force select him, set movement speed to 1 (so move orders don't dissapear) he would be given move orders, and instead of him moving you could pass along that order to the mount instead, if the order is attack, the n dismount, if the order is a spell, dismount.

I have made a weak such system, but it works.

As for attachements, where would you attach bracers and pants, and why in the world would one use attachments for bracers, we aren't really talking graphics that blow you away, they would, if even that, barely show with gloves on.

Anyways, good luck!

Thanks for the support.
About your mount system, I think the hardest part is the animation, the other can be done, throught,
But still, I'm not sure to add it
