Level Design / [SOLVED] [QUESTION] How to remove these from the map?

Noggit / [QUESTION] Noggit

« on: January 16, 2013, 06:51:57 pm »

So i got some questions guys. When I port to the map I made its all flat. But when i open it in noggit i can see all my mountains and change of textures.

When I edit the map in noggit is that just editting the WDT file? Like the one in my patch/world/maps/Valia folder. If i make changes do I have to repatch it? to see the effects in the game. And if so is that why my game keeps crashing when i shift adts like from 8_8 to 11_8?

edit ----

So heres exactly what im doing. I edited all the files i needed to following the guide, and then I painted and did minor landscaping in noggit to test it out in game. I save the file. push g. Close noggit. Take my work fille from Patch/world/maps/valia and place the valia folder in my patch-a.MPQ under World/Maps/Valia

When i port to it the game crashes giving me a wow error saying game crashed on valia adt 11_8 or #_# and well yeah thats where im at.

Level Design / [SOLVED] [QUESTION] Noggit not loading my map

« on: January 13, 2013, 03:37:45 am »

Okay so I was creating a map, Followed all the steps and it loaded up in noggit and I spend a hour quick mapping it. Saved it and then hit g so i could port. Went to open my game and launch my server and I saw that i put the wrong MAP.dbc so I had to extract it from the patch-enUS-3.MPQ again, edit it with talis and then saved it in my dbc folder of my game and server and added it to my patch-A.MPQ. Now the client will load up so I went to port to it using the coords from noggit and It said invalid map. So i closed my game and server and I went back to my map in noggit and its not there anymore.... So heres some conf

Code: [Select]

#This is a config file template. To use it rename into noggit.conf and set your options
#Edit this to your WoWFile!!!
Path = C:WoWModdingClient335aNoggit

#Edit this to your Project-Directory and uncomment if you want to use it!
ProjectPath = C:WoWModdingProjectsSunsetBloodpatch

Now when i go to my WoWmoddingProjectsSunsetBloodPatchWorldmapsValia

I see my wdt and all the adts. Also when i open up my patch-A.MPQ from C:WoWModdingClient355aNoggitData i see

when I go to C:WoWModdingClient355aNoggitdbcmaps.dbc i see

Same thing in my server and patch-a.MPQ

But when i go to Noggit this is what i see

idk what i did wrong. I was editing the map earlier.

Recruitment / [PROJECT] Sunset Blood

« on: January 09, 2013, 09:13:45 pm »

First off hello guys my name is LordAres and I am sure you have seen my posts around WoW Development forums before. I am new at this but I learn fast and I dont give up. I have big ideas for Sunset Gaming but I realized I cant do it alone and if I were to do it alone it would take years!!

So what is Sunset Gaming? Sunset Gaming is a network of private servers I developed a long time ago before Antrix came out, back in the old school days of world of warcraft emulation. I loved the name I randomly came up with (back then Sunset WoW) and it stuck. I hosted a WoW server that had a little less than 100 active players, a lineage server with 50-100 active players, and a Runescape server with easily over 100 active players all on the same PC. And never got complaints for lag!! Im bringing back Sunset Gaming Network with Sunset of Blood first.

Now what is Sunset of Blood? In my head the idea behind Sunset of blood is a custom world. Im tired of seeing all the World Of Warcraft servers that arnt custom at all. Lets give players a custom gaming experience! Something for them to remember! But with a custom world has to come custom lore, npcs, factions, mounts, regions, tier sets, dungeons, raids, pvp arenas, pvp battlegrounds, basically everything!! Which will take a long time to develop! But I cant do this alone. Any help would be awesome.

My general concept of lore for Sunset of Blood. Sunset of Blood takes place in the continent of regalia with 2 factions - The Lawful and The Evil. Originally the Land of Regalia was a battleground of the Gods armys. Gods using the world for a place to see who was better and more powerful, Angels and Demons clashed in a epic war. Not realizing the effect on the world. When the war was over the world was shattered, barely surviving. With help from certain angels giving their life in order to restore the balance, and demons using their blood to corrupt the land the world molded into what it is now. Gods created the creatures that inhabited Regalia. They evolved and adapted into superior races. Separating the land into regions with each king running a region, emperor Deskhan ran the empire. A cruel faction that wanted to control regalia. All but 5 kings joined Deskhan, but the other 5 resisted his grasp eventually shattering and banishing the Demonic Emperor to the underworld. After the banishment King Ake'l decided to create a faction that believes in doing the right thing, following the laws he set, and to defend their land. This faction was called The Lawful. Many regions joined him, but the ones that were so corrupted by Deskhan they created their own faction known as The Evil. Thus is the world of sunset blood.

What I need in a Team -

* Lore Developers, writers, editors.
* Map Developers - I cant do this alone!
* Npc Developers - We need custom npcs, and tons of them!! We can create them in WoW Model Viewer.
* Quest Developers - People who can create balanced quests to help the player progress at a steady blizzlike pace but with Sunset Bloods Lore.
* Item Developers - Taking WoWs original tier gear isnt enough, either reskin them, mix them up to make custom gear sets that match and fit the lore!
* Mount Developers - Mounts are a status in sunset of blood. certain ones will be super hard to get!
* Battleground Developers - Sunset of Blood is all about pvp and the Gods and Demons effect on the mortal kind.
* Website Developers - Need a good themed site that looks like something Unique to attract players!
* Music Developers - Either using WoWs current music, finding cinematic music to fit the region or dungeon or battleground, or composing your own
* UI Developers - People with good photoshop skills to reskin or recreate the ui in the game. Loading screens, character creation screen, login screen, and the screens behind character screen.
* city developers - Laying out custom cities to fit the lore, deciding what npcs go where, and what type of environment it will be for the player.

Note - I can not pay anyone for their work. So all jobs are volunteer jobs, for people who want to be apart of something big. Have their hands in helping create a custom game! One for players to enjoy!

If interested Head on over to http://sunsetgaming.net/forums/index.php Or post here. Our forums would be easier for us to chat tho!

Heres some teasers

Seeing how all of regular wow is not accessible heres a new starting area for dwarfs. Yes they get their own island (Valia)

Thanks!

Modelling and Animation / Animation particals floating around the character with items

« on: January 07, 2013, 09:39:42 pm »

So my question is, Is there a way to make it so if a character has certian items equipped in a set it will have like particals flying around it all the time?

In a game i use to play if u had a necklace, bracelet and 2 rings that all fit in the same set your character would have a certain glow around him. Like a light blue aura. Or chinese symbols flying around his aura or 2 skinny aura dragons flying around him.

I would like to recreate that. Like you know how earth shield from the shammy will have a earth ball floating around the character. Or shadow priest will have a dark aura like in shadow mode. or Shadow balls flying around. I would like to make it so 4 items in a set if equipped would trigger that look permanitly till u removed one of the items.

What files would i have to edit in order to make that happen?

Serverside Modding / [REQUEST] Faction and Race name change

« on: January 06, 2013, 05:01:04 am »

Okay so im using 3.3.5a TRINITY and I see everyone is changing their factions and race names in their client and servers. My server im making is based on 2 factions, Lawful and Evil. I want to know if someone can make a tutorial on how to change the Race names and Faction names in the client and server with trinity. Also please include pictures!

Side question, Is it possible to create another faction that a player can become via quest? Say Demon or Angel? Yet still have their main faction. LIke for instance Lawful - Angel or Lawful - Demon.

Level Design / [SOLVED] [QUESTION] Just some questions

« on: December 31, 2012, 05:26:34 am »

:ugeek: Hey guys my name is LordAres and i use to host a funserver back when antrix first came out. I quit because there wasnt that much customization I could do, or at least couldnt find a site with helping to mod a server. Im back, i think its been at least 4 years since then and im blown away by how far modding has come! Here are some questions!

1. I watched some videos on noggit on this forum and customizing the map. My question is, while your mapping indivual maps how do you link them together so it seems like a open world, like wow is. instead of seeing the edge of one map. Is it possible? If so how?

2. I dont have plans on hosting a server, I just want to customize a server to be what i want it to be. Is it possible to a. modify the map so it will look like your map you design, b. have only the maps you created be accessible by players and c. basically change the game so it has no continent areas like retail.

My goal is to customize a server by creating a server with a custom Continent with all custom areas and citys, have custom npcs and quests and gear and spells. Possible custom classes. Would that be possible? If so i am very aware it would take a very long time. And i got time.
