What the hell? L('O_o')L
« on: December 10, 2010, 01:38:57 pm »
Hi, everyone my name's Raiden!

Hmm... how should I start? Well, I'm a 15 years old student, and I come from Hungary. I've been playing W3 since it was released, and I like making pointless maps in its editor. In fact, I have some mapping skills, because the only thing I liked in W3 was making maps. I also like playing Devil May Cry 4 and listening to DnB, and Metal music... but that doesn't matter now.
I'm here to tell you that in my opinion the TCO campaign is the best mod EVER made (it's now the only reason i have Warcraft now). But I really hate one thing in it, it's terrible loading screen... it really hurts my eyes... please replace it, I can't stand staring at it while the game is loading.

Hello welcome to the forums  ;D, well but what's wrong with the screen? It is just a map of olivert and it is not such a big mix of colours what you find wrong with it?

It's quality is just simply bad and it would be better if it had more colours, and well if I remember correctly it only had one village named on it which was Dalli and it covered a lot of space on the screen, and it makes it very unrealistic. Maybe I could draw a better map with Photoshop.

Hehe, welcome, i think u should draw a loading screen and send it too Aero. In fact, compare the loading screen of TCO to many loading screens of custom maps nowaday like YouTD, Dota..., it really sucks...
I played DMC4 too, but i found it boring  :(
Btw, TCO campaign is the best mod EVER made is obvious  ;D

Hey.

I was just checking yesterday where people are from and the most activated people are from Asian. I was really surprised. It's good to see people from Europe too. Welcome!

Yeah, I hate the loading screens too. They are ugly I made them when I starting making this campaign. I just take screenshots of random points and added text. I'm still not sure should I just remake them or do something new. What you guys suggest?

Ooh... You mean the map? That's okay, but of course if someone is a good drawer it would be great to have a new one. The current one is low quality and old. It was drawn by my little sister 3 years ago.

If someone is willing to help with that map just contact me I'll give some info what to draw etc...

I'm not very good at drawing on computer, but I'll try to make a better map if you give me some information about what to draw.

Okay, here's some information:

Basically it should be same map, just an improved version of the old one. The cities, roads, rivers and everything should be about in same places. Don't write anything to the map yet(we'll change some of the names). After that is done, then we'll start to improve the picture(new places, etc.). Just make everything better, don't add anything new yet.

Later when it's done I'll find someone who's good using draw programs to make it look like a real map. The old map was done by pencil and a draw program.

Is that okay?

Hey, I made this request official just in case you want more information or you quit while doing this. If you quite please at least upload the unfinished work on that thread. It might be useful later.

Here's the thread: http://tcocampaign.createaforum.com/index.php?topic=113.msg1373#msg1373
