Other Warcraft Poker

"I'll see your peon, and raise you a tauren!"

I love the sound of that...

 

[Andrewgosu]

are you going to show peoples chip amount by like doing how much gold they have? or actually use units as "chips" different colours so other players can tell how much money each player has?

At the moment, I was thinking of using the gold coin model for chips...

"I'll see your peon, and raise you a tauren!"

I love the sound of that...

...but who knows, that's a very nice idea - units that represent chips.



Though I will be using images for cards, why not create a unit on top the card, too, to give it a more 3D look.

Nice.


And I got my computer back from the repair so I can start working on it, finally.

A little preview how the cards will be dealt.

Press escape to execute the little demonstration.

(Uses units instead of images and deals cards to all players. In the real version, only player who are sat in at the table will receive cards)


Have fun!

 

[Andrewgosu]

I had a brilliant brainstorm yesterday!

I am going to replace the images with units, which look like cards.

However, in order to do that, I need someone to model for me...


I even made hand-drawn piece of artwork, no matter it came out really stinky.

As you can see, the cards are supposed to be quite thick, with round edges and with a size (2 to A) and suit (clubs, diamonds, hearts, spades) on the top.

It is supposed to look a little bit cartoonish.

Next, the cards should have that little glow, what the "Tome of X" in Warcraft have, in its right (or left) corner.

Lastly, about animation. The cards should hover up and down a little bit, just like, for example, "Tome of Agility", but it should not rotate (who would play poker, when the cards rotate?).


I hope I was clear enough and there is someone willing to model for me, because the task itself is quite labor-intensive (there are 52 different cards...).

I'll promise a reward (to be discussed) if someone makes me a "delivery", which I find suitable enough to use in the game.

Thanks in advance and Merry Christmas!

Seems like a decent project.

Though, what'll stop someone from just playing on an online poker site?

In saying this, you'll definately need to make the "map" original, professional, excellent, etc.

Good luck.

If you really need models, I suggest you to go to hive or wc3campaigns, because there is much more modelers than here.

Seems like a real good project to me !

 

[Hatebreeder]

Well,
I could Model for you
Already made a Card Model for HeggeMuffin... =)

Nobody is stopping one from playing online poker at a online site, however, do they have a nice Warcraftish feeling? No.

Nobody is stopping one from eating a banana, too.

If I really cannot find anybody, then that's my last resort.

I have always thought we also have lots of gifted people here...

That would be extremely appreciated!

When can you start?

Just post here or send me a PM with any questions or help whatsoever.


P.S

It will be a 10 player game, so, I am in need of ideas for the units which represent players at the table.

Currently, these are the ones I have:

Pandaren Brewmaster
Sheep
(Who would have guessed?)


8 places are vacant so suggest what units to add!

 

[Hatebreeder]

Well, with what should I start?
I can make the Items Strait away. Just tell me what texture you want on them.

 

[Hatebreeder]

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooook =)
So, I have worked a bit on the first Item thingy. I made a Custom Model, by using the Glyph as Basis, gave it a rectangular form, and made a Custom Skin for the Model (Also made the Gylph have a Green glow... Looks more unique in that color ^^)
It's looks kinda weird, but I really suck at Skinning :S So, you'll need to get somene that can skin =)
Anyways, here is a Preview, of how it looks like:

Hope you like it ^^
Pratically, you just need to edit the Gylph Skin, since I have the Base Model. You can ask anytime for me to remap this Model ^^ Just takes a few moments

*EDIT: Do you want this non-Rotating? Oh, BTW, I think there is too much particle Action. Should I remove some of this? That would also render the Size of the Model by about 50%...

 

[Andrewgosu]

It's good for a start, however,the card is supposed to be parallel with the ground and it obviously should not green...instead, white or beige.

However, the shape and thickness are quite good, though it's a little bit narrower from the bottom than from the top. Should be equal.



Yes, the card is supposed not to rotate.

The particle action is fine at the moment.

So you want the Card to show on the Ground?

 

[Andrewgosu]

Yes, but it should hover like the tomes do.

 

[Hatebreeder]

Yes, but it should hover like the tomes do.

OK, done that.
Still rotates though. I need a few minutes to make it non-Rotating.

Edit:

Ok, I'm done.
- It doesn't rotate anymore
- It faces the floor
- Changed color

Is this what you wanted? =)

 

[Andrewgosu]

It certainly has the right shape now.

Is the semi-transparent glow around the card an editor only thing or it shows up in-game?

Would be good if the glow had round edges, too.

What about the textures? Can you give me some measurement or a base?

But about the Edges... I already have used a Box-Primivtive, I can't Edit that right now. I would have to use a different Primitive, one, which would have more Polys.
About the Textures... take any WC3-Textures Size and halve it. On one half, paint the front of the Card on it. On the seconds half, paint the back of the Card.
I'll re-map the Model with the Texture.

 

[Andrewgosu]

Good to hear.

The thing is, there are 52 cards.

Do you need to make 52 same-looking models which I can apply my textures on?

I think so >.<
But, when you add Skins in WC3, you "Override" the existing Skin.
And somewhere here, there is a tut on how to make a Unit have more Skins...

 

[Andrewgosu]

I know how to make same models use different skins.

Just asking if it was fine by you to make 52 models (+1, because I need a card model, which has the back side texture, too).

That's no Problem.
Just need to know what I must make =)
And, this process will take a while >.<
