lobster22221 posted:That is weird to me too. Tower defenses were definitely popular, but how could blizzard of known that before Reign of Chaos was released. You never control Elven Workers in Reign of Chaos, I'd guess that if you went through the pain in the rear end steps to open up the specific map for the campaign, they would have no assigned sounds. Yeah, Tower Defense caught my eyes. But I'm also surprised by the the Blood Elf Engineers Union.

Well, yeah, but y'all did point out rightly that the elvish workers' lines reference stuff from after Reign of Chaos. I think it's probable that the workers here don't use the worker lines that I put down. They might use the generic human villager lines, or they might not, but I guess I'll have to do some real research to find out.

I know there were originally supposed to be six factions in the original game. I assume one was the Burning Legion. Were the High Elves supposed to be the other? Those are the only two that are quasi-factions in the original game.

I would have enjoyed playing as High Elves or Burning Legion. Too bad they were cut. I blame whoever decided there should be a canon story linking the campaigns.

at one point goblins were going to be one of the factions it's probably for the best they only ended up making 4, every faction had so many options and abilities and little quirks that it took blizzard ages to make the game even semi balanced

Kinda sucks to find out you've clawed into the backline but missed the obvious staging area. At least they're letting you at the upgrades now.

painedforever posted:Thanks Lobster. You're the best. Actually some of your other posts reminded me that there are generic villager lines. They are not very interesting, but they do exist. I'll look them up. Edit: So, there are 4 types of villagers. 2 villager males, 1 child villager, and 1 villager female. As far as I can tell, they only have What responses. Villager man 1 What
Villager man 2(Has a different voice) What
Villager Woman What
Villager Child What
There are two variations of men, women, and children. Weirdly the second female model is classified as a human unit, while the rest are considered neutral. She is also an elf, which is probably why, but still one of those weird things going on with the engine. On another note, there are 9 variations on the elf buildings you see in these missions. All of them seperate unit types. Unlike decorations, each unit can only have 1 assigned model. Decorations can have randomly placed variations. lobster22221 fucked around with this message at 08:05 on Apr 6, 2018 |

The elf villager woman is probably located under the humans' tab because she only shows up as an enemy unit during these missions. The other villagers fall under neutral because they're part of neutral factions in the human missions.

Edit because it is rude to double post: If the warcraft 3 mapmaking community was still active they would be salivating with the new update. The increased mapsize is whatever because there were already ways to do that. However the update also added the ability to update tooltips icons and hero names , an easy and more usable way to get mouse location, adjust a units armor(This was possibly through very heavy abuse of the ability system and a lot of code), adjust damage(By the way, did you know warcrafts damage is set up as a dice system?), and adjust unit health and mana pools. Seriously some big updates along with removal of arbitrary engine limitations. Remember how I said the max food was 300? Its 999 now. Max gold is increased too. Upgrades still can't be changed I'd guess. lobster22221 fucked around with this message at 08:45 on Apr 11, 2018 |

So with the new patch out, and widescreen support available, I'm gonna put this up to an informal vote. Would you all like me to upgrade to the new version? Screenshots would probably go from 800x600 (4:3) to 800x450 (16:9). The different image size would be the only change that we'd ever see any good from due to the way the campaign is isolated from all balances changes.

If it works for you, go for it. I'm not sure the aspect ratio will make all that much of a difference to the LP.

It's up to you. We might see some things in cinematics we weren't meant to at the sides of the screen, but other than that, it won't affect much. Although worth noting, don't be confused when you update, and get into game and it's still 4:3, the menu screens are not widescreen, but in-game it will be!

DoubleNegative posted:The different image size would be the only change that we'd ever see any good from due to the way the campaign is isolated from all balances changes. Really? Doesn't seem to be much point, then. I'd just apply the same rule we use for enterprise applications; if it isn't a security fix, and your environment is stable, don't mess with it.

Do whatever works better for you. The LP already looks good, and the patch won't improve the best part of it, your writing.
