New map coming! You ask for the features you want in it!

Hi there, I just wanted to let you people know that I' m creating a new map, called Raptor Rush (v1.0a, first version). It' s based on kind of a survival of the fittest, each team must kill the others', and I will tell you more, all-custom spells, abilities, models, skins, icons, and more. But I will need more. That' s why I' m creating that topic; could someone lend me some dinosaur, explorer, or anything, icon or model, or skin, even spell? Thanks, I would appreciate your help. By the way, I' ve done almost the 1/4 of it. I have already done the units, some spells, but I need the longest and most boring part of all (to create and edit), triggers. I would also need your help for ideas on what triggers I could use for my map. I' m also talking to you, Sopho and oz02, and may Darky27 help me also? Stay tuned!

Ps: I will miss Darky27. He was a great friend, we chat often on MSN (not for noobish questions, duh!). He helped me out lots of time, and his web site was really helpful for my maps, and I still need it, and I hope the new webmaster will know what to do with it... Not switching the background in pink, as I said on the "Departure Thread", and, that' s about it.

That's a pretty big map I want to create, that' s why I need your support, and your help. As on the topic subject, you choose what precise options you want on it! I' ll submit it on the web site as soon as it' s finished.

Thanks! Laterz.

i vote for mystical creatures

which spells do u need? i am asking, because i have some unused on my pc, which i have made half a year ago.

Well...

Well I made some, like claws for the dinosaurs, and I was thinking about spells with custom icons for the explorers/humans. Like, for example, the basic goal of the game is destroying the Raptor Nest, Alaazmatras, queen of raptors, for the humans. But I would need spells for them, I don' t know, for example, Run Away, I was thinking, a spell that boosts the movement speed for like 5 seconds. Easy spells, but I' m kinda busy, and I also play Diablo II: Lord of Destruction, I' m between Wc3 and DII, so kinda struck... That' s why I need your help.

Thanks.

There are some good skins and models sections for your map in the download section. Also once you get abit more further in your map, you may start asking trigger questions :)
By the way I am going to skin everyday from now on, so if you find a useful skin you may need, get it :)

Hehe

Good to see you again, Sopho. Thanks, yeah, I need some of your skins talents :P. I know, I downloaded much of my skins and models here, but I need more... Like the Raptor, Ancient Dragon Lord, for example, are used in my map. And, could you, for example, make a T-Rex (Tyrannosaurus Rexus) skin? Like, taking the Raptor model or something like this and re-texture it completely? Thanks in advance.

I voted for Insects- that is new i think :)
#8
Yeah... Additionnally, there' s plenty of them on the site.
#9
I also voted for insects. Especially in a dinosaur type map it would be cool to have giant killer mosquitos or something.
#10
Wou-lah... Yeah, but I' ll need alot. All I can find on this site and others are bees and termits... I' ll try to find like, prehistoric insects. As I don' t know how to model/skin, I' ll need all the help I can have...
#11
Mystical creates are interesting. They refer to " myth units " such as the unicorn, cyclops etc. There are hardly any maps with those, lets try that,
#12
I voted for mystical creatures but in a second view i changed my opinion that there should be many wanderes. for example headhunters who are afterthe player if he brake the law... they travel the map and search for him... will be nice feature in a map i think
#13
Hum. If you can give me some models and skins, yes, I could do that. Because I' m trying to make the map as custom as possible.
#14
Hum... I' ve been thinking about a skin to make a cyclop. Maybe taking the Ogre model, removing one head or putting it blank, only taking the one-eyed part of it. It could work, but I' m not sure... For insects, I' ve been searching for a long time. Almost no Wc3 web site have any insects, but if someone could skin the bee model on this page, giving it a look of prehistorical insect, it would be nice. Also for mystical creatures, I can have every dragon, that I want, maybe some minotaurs, harpies, sirens... But I will need some time. I' m now doing the basics of my map, I almost finished terrain, finishing the unit properties, and about 1/3 of the spells are done. After I will need to activate triggers for it. Not even half way done...

I'll do the cyclops skin :D
