Chains of Fate Map Project (directed by Qaenyin/Drain Pipe)

unfortunately, i don't think i have your e-mail address, so perhaps you can give it to me so i can send it to you. Perhaps you might want to get an msn account because that's how i've been able to send the map through. Still, if he doesn't finish the map by the 14th, then i'll simply have to try terraining myself We really can't afford to waste the christmas holidays since that's the best time. So... if i don't get the map back, i don't care but i'll have to start terraining myself since the chosen terrain at this point isn't really good for what we need it for and some work will need to be done. I still haven't heard from him for a while, so i really don't know how the terrain is going.

Send it to me on aim. There's a link to me in my profile.

Well, you didnt do that, so E-mail it to [email protected]. Thats my address.

Actually i did send it to you but it failed and i think it's because your AOL can't recieve the size of file. I suggest you get and msn address. That's the only way i was able to send it successfully to anyone else. I'll try sending it to you again, but if there's another failure, it will be pointless unless you get msn.

Send it to me on AIM at the address Qaenyin. I will be on until about 1:00 tonight.

Also post your aim address so we can stay in contact better.

First of all i don't have AOL insant messenger because i tried getting it and it wouldn't let me. Second, i already tried accessing your AIM but that didn't work either. #rd i'm not even sure if AIM can allow you to send instant messages that easy and 4, MSN is quite easy to use.

I've already tried sending it to you but without success and i can't get AIM for some reason it will never accept my username no matter what i put, even it i put my actual full name, it always says it's already been taken and i cannot proceed. That's why i wanted you to get msn instead. otherwise, i'll post a safe version on this website as custom spells and you can dl the safe version.

can i join

do you need any skinners?cause i would like to be a skinner to take part in your map.Pm me to let me know.
-halo

I can terrain and art up a couple small things for you

Then put a safe version on this website. I dont have ANY hard drive space(under 3% is free), so I am NOT installing any more applications, sorry.

Ok, so the map is on the website, so just so you can see it Eusira\Qaenyin. I hope you guys enjoy the spells. For the Ice Pandaren's "Roll Out" ability, you'll have to use the "left, right" and "back" keys on your keyboard to move left and right and to slow down. To stop, either run through enough obstacles/units, or hold down on the "back" key until you stop. If you want to make a quick U_turn, slow down until you're almost stopped, then tap the back key to make an instant 180 turn.

As for the Volcanic pandaren, use the left and right keys to maneuver him.

Other than that, enjoy the rest and i;ve even put in a few heroes to test skills out on.


Oh yeah, any ability that has the "special" word on it in the tooltip means they have a vareid effectiveness in different situations and also that they are the most powerful if certain requirements are met, but that also makes them the least reliable in battle, unless you know how each one works. Things affecting them can be such as buffs, hp, mp, distance between caster/target, length of casting time, skill with aiming and casting and perhaps more. I suggest you test each hero and try and find out what their special ability requirements are.


I've rambled on long enough i suppose, so without further delay, here's the link

BTW, enjoy.

Ok, I have nearly finished with Faust(just polishing off some ideas on his ulti), I will post that early next week, then finish off the equipment list and post that.

Has the terrainer gotten around to talking yet? At the very least we NEED to know if hes even working on it, we cant just sit around for half a year till he finds it convenient to say "yo, sorry, havent done anything, find someone else".

I'm already one step ahead of you. I've already tried to start terraining on our map (with little success) but i've put up a post on the requests section. BTW i noticed problems withs the multi-attack moves so i modded them a bit. Now they no longer stun the target, just immobilize and you can now target the same unit with both heroes at the same time(for one MONSTER combo). I also shortened and improved some of the abilities and i;m still working on others. Now instead of using a unit that other's are drawn to, i make a variable to track the distance they've moved which makes this work just as good but all me to get the nice slowing down effect i like. Now i;m gonna trey another attampt at editing the map but i ytell you it's not easy.

*BUMP* just so you don't forget about it qaenyin.

Anyways, I finally found a way to safely trandsfer the map, so now Eusira is actually doing the terraining, but he's started on a different map altogether because the one we had was....crappy to say the least because there were problems with it.

Anyways, i know how to transfer everythign except the actualy units. Putting the triggers back together again won't take me too long now.

I've finally chosen a way to make dragoons. It will be a dummy skill that will replace them with the other hero. The way to fix the dying would be to let the one unit die, then switch him at revival. To remove the extra hero icon, i think changing his team to neutral would work.

I'm still thinking of an item system. Only certain types of units will be able to carry certian stuff. there will be generic armor, but also armor fit only for light/medium/heavy heroes and corresponding weapons (bows and swords will be split also so that only archer heroes can use them and the heavy/light swords/axes also). The way i want to make it though would be to remove all the reg weapons on the heroes right now and when they have a sword, give them that weapon. This way weapons always look different.

that's pretty much my idea so when you get back,please answer.

Ok, glad someone is doing the terraining. Lemme know when it's done.

Don't worry about the dragoon form ability, I will trigger it myself(I already have a simpler and less laggy solution involving research trees and dummy abilities).

I havent decided what faust's ulti is going to do yet, or Thor's Hammer, but I have finished Deep Freeze, Sirocco, and Splitting Sky, as well as his passive. I'll send you a test map once I have finished the other two spells.

For the dragoon form, the only thing I need is to have all of the abilities they will have while morphed classed as 1 level Unit Abilities(NOT hero abilities). I will then set up a group of triggers that will solve the multi-level meta skill issues through research groups and dummy passives(similar to the Scythian Maiden's Potnia Theron in ToB).

For the items I will need 5 types of items: Mainhand(slot 1), Offhand(slot 2), Helmets(slot 3), Armor(slot 4), Boots(slot 5). Slot 6 will be used for everything else.

Once I finish Faust I will finish up the item list and post it.

you should be happy to know that we already have a rough draft for the terrain that's been completed within 1 6 or so (probably less) hours. I just have to transfet the info and we're good. Now all i have to do is finish the second bonus hero, and Zackwell as well and we should be good.
