I wouldn't say so. I used it a lot on a "villager" model and it looks good. But he doesn't twist his torso with attacks, so that must be the reason .

[Askot Bokbondeler]

really? then try it with the new dwarf model, if you're satisfied with the results i may rethink my position

[NRN_R_Sumo1]

Deon I want to help. [:
I used to do a lot of Wc3 map making although I've never released anything. 

I actually made a random terrain generator, and it made beautiful maps, but it always had lag problems later on in games. (I was using it for a wilderness survival map I have since put on hold)

[Deon]

Lag problems = leaks I suppose, and they should be fixable .

I would actually love randomly generated caves and towns, so if you could help with it, it would be awesome .

And well, which kind of help do you want to offer?

Did you code AI or scripts for enemy units' movement? Because these I need most, for clever ambushes and sieges.

[Deon]

Askot, do you have any shield attachables for those?

Yeah, I know they were fixable, but by the time I found out that the problems were there I had far too many triggers to fix without going crazy  (I am actually working on a completely redone version now, but am unsure if the caves would even be possible via triggers.)

I have not coded ai or enemy unit scripts, but it shouldnt be too awefully difficult.

edit: I was going to put the old one up for you to see but unless you use the editor I was using you wouldnt be able to. I dont recall the name but I think it was something like Jass Newgen.

[Deon]

Yeah I don't use NewGen (which  uses vJass which is awesome) because it hasn't been updated for the latest patch yet, and I am not an awesomeprogrammerguy yet who codes on vJASS using structs, so I use basic JASS for now

(I am actually working on a completely redone version now, but am unsure if the caves would even be possible via triggers.)

Why not, just apply your "random generator" to a rectangle instead of the whole map, and make sure that the rectangle is enclosed in cave walls. Right?

And here's another teaser video which shows the awesome dwarf model and changeable weapons:

By the way, I plan to make evil shamans which will be able to remove your beard . It will be seen visually.

[NRN_R_Sumo1]

You just want randomly organized areas? Thats not quite what mine does, mine does the maps terrain for you each game. 

I can of course always try to find a way to do the caves in this way, but if you just want to randomize rubble placement and all that, thats super duper easy. 

[Level_8_Mudcrab]

Nice work to you both on the models and attachments, they look great. I always liked games with attachment equipment  Random dungeons would work great, if you did them well, what sorta level of randomness do you have planned for them? That's all for me, those evil shamans sounds scary.

@NRN_R_Sumo1: random terrain? WANT!!

i really need that for a project of mine, can i recruit you to it?

Sounds fair enough. Whats the project?

[andrea]

is this for frozen throne?
if so, I guess I'll have to buy it when you finish this map.

[NRN_R_Sumo1]

By the way deon it turns out that my old random map generator cant even be played since the update 

I guess its a good thing I'm making a new one.

@NRN_R_Sumo1:rant about a subject not related to the thread

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

are you registered at the hive? this is my project's thread

http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/map-development-202/help-me-come-up-name-my-project-158896/

it's something like an mmorts, with elements from total war, dominions, and spore, it's a game where you build a civilization in single player, across hours of gameplay with random quests, technology advancement, etc., you customize your armies, defining the looks and equipement of each type of unit, and the looks of your cities buildings, we even plan to add civilization traits like "mountain people" or "uses slave labour", and bonus associated with government types, etc. Then you store your army via savecode and battle in a multiplayer game against another player, with diplomacy behing handled in a forum created for the game

all this is a little utopic as we havent oficially started yet, i have a buddy that's working on the battle system and i'm making the models for the units, but i've got this idea since i first started modding for warcraft and now it's really picking up
