Um. Did you have posted it somewhere else? Caus I remember pictures of this. But with the map, I just learned something... Thanx to you Bronxsy, making me learn the "Object group" for doodate. The only thing is that you don't know witch doodate you are trying to associate. There is only the coord and the doodate name, you cant clic like "select doodate" on the map or w/e.
And don't think all the ideas fall from the sky... Open the Doodate tab, and one by one look at them, use " , and . " to change doodate on a same type of doodate. Sometimes, there are up to four diffrents doodates for one. While looking at them, think that you can change their forms, (think to my 500% x 500% x 10%) and change their color too. There is a doodate named "balloon", those could look like bubble if you put them blue. What could be the use of blue bubble? I am thinking here of the WTE # xyz that is "Under sea", make a map that looks under the sea. If I have the time, I could try to do one map, but... "If I have time" >.<
So a doodate could have many way to be used depending of what you want to do. And you don't know every single doodate, so look at them ALL, except if you know that this kind of doodate you dont need or if you take one and all the other have a very similar name like: Omni yellow, Omni blue, Omni... Ok, I don't need light so I don't need them all, so skip. But more you will try, more chance you have to find something good or get another idea...
Think too that doodate are not the only thing you can use... Units can be use as well. With the Campagn map, you have alot of units more. You can modify the same setting as a doodate but in the Data editor, what is kinda longer to change and complicated, but still possible.
Mozared, when will start the next WTE? =D I'm starting to really like those!
I don't mean here that I want to import the m3 of WoW's files etc. But... something that IS actually pre-in the doodate of Starcraft 2. While looking to doodates, I've found this pretty fun one that show a picture of WoW.
This is funny... but I think WoW is just too much everywhere.
There is many ways to make it looks like an indoors. You know, you can modify the setting of a doodate to make it be 500% by 500% (max) by 10% (min) of height. It will become a kind of platform that you could use as a ceiling, like I did in my video with the Arches. The only problem, is to find a doodate that have a face under it, to don't see throught an invisible face.
Here is one example. I used "Xel'Naga Halo" to creat the ceiling. To make it looks more close, like a bubble, I added the "Zhakul'Das Bridge". There is no face under, but the light effect still appear, so I kept it. I've tested with a units, it's a brige so units walk over, but this is something editable in the Data.
You know... I'm still a beginner. I still really suck at triggers... And making videos use triggers! So mostly, I use Creat Revealer, Apply Camera Object and Wait. The rest... is just terraining. But, I want to be very very good using trigger that make units move, special visual effect, make picture appear or whatever etc.
I got an idea of WTE, it's pretty simple and fast so it will probably last only a week, except if there is not many people participing.
For the subject, it free, you do what you want. But, the only thing is... to set the map bound to the smallest (32x32) At this size, you must take care how you place your things. If you put water, you must think about that big shitty water square that often get into the way where we don't want.
Here is an example I've made in about a hour. Notice there is 2 type of water; the lava in the middle and the water in the corner.
We could also make a map that creat a face. Um, that when you place the building and the effects you can see something that is not represented by the units/terrain...etc. An image in an image. (Don't know if you understand what I mean...)
Yes I know... I must deal with this, my comp isn't the best one. It play easily sc with the ultra settings, but if there are too many units or effect or the point of view see the whole map, etc. I'll will lag alot. And to do my video, I don't want to records them into low graphic you know >.< So I do my best to make it lag the less possible. Like make the units be smaller, start with a smaller map and if needed change the bounds, take care of the point of view, and "if it the point of view lag in the editor, it will in sc2".
Those things I did not take care of during my firsts cinematics. But for the WTE ex, it is a very small map. That's why it doesn't lag.
If I really need to make a kind of battle and my comp lag too much, I'll probably make a friend of mine record it. He has a very better computer. (He sometimes plays sc2 with the 3D vision >.<) But, until my videos are not satisfying me, I wont ask for his help. Only when my video / map / idea will be very great, that I'll ask him to record it for me.
I have done a few cinematics until the release of Starcraft 2. I have not played that much with the editor to know many of it functions, but I'm able to do at less a video. So here is, sorted by the gayest to the best :P
Playing with one trigger >.<
Camera #1
Camera #2
First Cinematic
Second Cinematic
Thrith Cinematic (here it starts to become better)
Fourth Cinematic (My best until now)
Fifth Cinematic (It was for a school work, so it is in french)
WTE #24 (For the Weekly Training Exercises for this forum)
So, what do you think of them? We can easily see the evolution through my cinematics... You like my best cinematic?
Ok. I think I'll do your idea, to make my own post. But once I've done some of the older WTE's, I want to have a link somewhere in here that refere to it.
Also, what do you mean by "folks"? And as an aside question: do you speak french, if you're in the EU server? As a last question, is there a way to get email from post that had a reply?
When I look at all those, that I have not participate except the 24, I want to try them all one by one! XD Caus all those are great idea. Like make the best terrain without doodates, hide a marine (but those were too hard though, I would do something easier), underwater (very nice idea)... etc.
Just a question, can we keep posting on the older WTE?
So, if you need an idea, I can probably find one too. But this night I must go. Probably this weekend or something like that I will try to find an idea that could be interesting.
Here it is! My Zerg indoors. There is alot of things we don't always see at the first look, but there is falling rocks, the hot effect for the lava, smoke, the flying orange things, etc. There is something like 3-4 hours of work, I'm not sure though. I don't count them. I don't like to put only one picture of a great work, so here is, as I always do, a short clip of it. Notice there is still some work to do with the fluidity of the camera and some collisions, but mostly correct.
What do you think of it? :P
(Thanx to Mozared for the explication how to put the video here)
A carrier that instead of interceptors launches carriers (Yo dawg, i heard yo like carriers so i put a carrier in yo carrier so that yo can attack while yo attack)
I love that idea o O This Is FUN! :P But I'm not sure if I want to try... xD
