Hello there Newerthlings, check this out :
I bring you the alpha version of the Chess of Newerth custom map. I made the core of the game, polishing it is the next step.
What it should look like :
Watch it on youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YS_6P_PNS04)
What it actually does look like :
Watch it on youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JOKBS9xdBZ0)
My first video ever, don't mock me :p
Features :
- basic movement of all 6 pieces (Pawn, Rook, Knight, Bishop, King, Queen)
- only fixed positions of the field are possible (location gadgets)
- turn-based gameplay
- I think you cannot cheat at the moment (unless you buy portal key and purge in the menu -.-), so I disabled all illegal movement.
- ...
Todo :
- advanced moves : castling, en passant, promotion
- check check (took me waaaay too long )
- polish : (meh)
- new map layout with decorations
- the pieces now use auto-attacks to kill opponents, i want them to use the ingame combo's
- game messages (quite a bit of work)
- better icons and some effects (meh)
Conclusion :
The map looks quite ugly now, but that is next on the list.
The todo's are rather easy when you have the first part (imo), so it won't be long before this is fully finished. I'm looking for someone to make a map layout with nice decorations, the only important thing is that you add a grid of 128 or 256 for the positioning, like there is in the current map.
How to play this ?
Download (http://www.mediafire.com/?h23u0xqwlug16k6) the map, put it in .../game/maps folder
Start a practice game with the map "Chess of Newerth"
or use
startgame practice "noname" "map:CoN_v1"Use the 1st spell to see where you can move, use it again on a red dot to actually move there or on a valid enemy to attack him.
At the moment you have to play with both your own and your opponents units -.-
After all this fun, get back to this topic and leave a comment please !
