Re: Apocalypse - The 5 Waves Of Chaos
Hi guys,
just a little update what i have done til 28.4.2003.
- Finished The goblin
-updated some weapons gfx
-updated some creatures (size&Height)
and another update til 5.5.2003
- Begin to convert Iron Golem of NWN
- Lost much time playing basketball because of the good weather
=> found problems to convert him (missing animations) if you want details look in my thread about NWN in the multimedia section. I have reflected a long time about what to do next. But first i will finish the iron golem and then the normal items before i will begin with the uniques.
I have just a new idea: What do you think about artifacts which improves weapon if you combine them with the right weapon in the cube? I think this idea is not new but perhaps it is new that the artifacts would be unique and some would be spawn by one monster or you can find them only in one area.

That is a cool concept. What would these artifacts be exactly? Magical Stones? Magical Tomes, perhaps?I have just a new idea: What do you think about artifacts which improves weapon if you combine them with the right weapon in the cube?

well, if they give magic, I say spheres, crystals, orbs, shards, and prisms. If they are physical attributes, make them different metals.

Good idea chaotic death but i think i will use the principle of Baldurs Gate 1 and 2. Remember there you could find different parts of weapons and if you put these different parts together you had a very good weapon. So in my mod there will be some weapons you can only get with this method. And you can also find crystals and prism or other things like that to improve your weapons. This method is nearly the same like gems in socket weapons but your unique weapons don't need any sockets and if you put one prism in two weapons each you get different updates. So generally spoken the updates caused by prism are not every time the same.

Re: Apocalypse - The 5 Waves Of Chaos
Hmm, they have this interesting glow around them... I like it. Perhaps if you blurred the glow a bit it would look better, though I'm not sure.
Re: Apocalypse - The 5 Waves Of Chaos
Because you mentioned "the interesting glow" i will tell what it has to do with my weapons. In my mod all uniques will have this golden glow around them and all normal weapons will have a red glow around them. If you improve a unique with the things i expressed before the unique will have a different look (there will be some signs on weapons or armors for example).So this signs will show you that it is an improved weapon perhaps they get another glow but i'm not sure about it.

Re: Apocalypse - The 5 Waves Of Chaos
hmm. I'm stucked in a very time leeching progress. The Conversion of the Elf takes much time and i have some school stuff going on at the moment and i use much time playing basketball (when the weather is nice) ! But this weekend i WILL CONVERT this Elf. As soon as the first Mode (Attack1) is finished i will upload it here. After i have finished replacing the rogue with the elf there will be a plugin for that. I hope i could convince something about the idea of converting Warcraft III Monsters with my method (just a mental note). I would like to point out my Baldurs Gate 1 & 2 method and what do you think about this point?

Sorry, but I couldn't understand what you meant here, if you need feedback about something or not; could you clarify this a bit?

Note that we already know a simple method to convert BG monsters to Diablo II ...

Re: Apocalypse - The 5 Waves Of Chaos
Good Question. I haven't yet thought about a release date of this mod. Because there is much work to do converting some Monsters in D2. Right now i get a WC3 Elf into D2 and that is a LOT of work ! As soon as i have finished this i will make a plugin to replace the rogue of act 1 with my Elf. And i will write a tutorial how you could convert ALL WC3 Monster to an D2 Monster! I will finish first act 1 (new monsters, quest altering and so on) and will publish a version only for act 1 after that act 2 and so on. Because i have many ideas i want to put in my mod that it takes much time to finish ONE Act. By the way each act should contain about 10 new monsters (Total 5 Act = over 50 Monsters) but that is only one of the plans i have for my mod. So i don't know when the mod is ready for publishing but i have no time limit for myself

Re: Apocalypse - The 5 Waves Of Chaos
Very, very nice
By the way, have you edited out the original credits by Blizzard? If so, you might want to consider putting them in again. Removing credits by Blizzard is one of those 'touchy' areas of modding, much like removing the D2 flaming logo in the opening screen.
Adding credits is totally fine though

yes i had edited them out. But i will put them in and add my credits. It is also a "touchy" area if you put your credits before the ones of blizzard ? I see no reason why there should be a problem doing that because blizzard's credits are still there ! By the way my rogue plugin update is finished and i have send it to jbouley. I'm looking forward to see it in the Filecenter. And the skill swapping was succesfull so the fallenshaman CAN cast the meteor doing the right damage (thx to joel). At the moment i am reflecting about how i could replace bloodraven. (i had the idea to replace it with the WC3:The frozen throne unit you could hire in the tavern yes the undead rogue one. But there is the problem that she has this red glowing aura between their feets so i have to mantain this aura. Otherwise the graphics are screwed up (i have already tried that.)) Last but not least i have not finished the tutorial yet because there is no easy possibilty to get the area that you have to convert with a program to an .avi File (at the moment it is still the try&error principle and that i don't like). As soon as i have found a solution for that you will get a quick and easy way to get each WC3 Monster into D2 (and WC3:TfT too of course)

i try to improve the animation quality of wc3 monsters but i think that is the best result you could get with my method and without 3DSMax or some grafic programs like that.
