Left 4 Dead in Warcraft 3
My L4D Map has finally been released!
I have been working on this map for almost a year and I am proud to present you my WC3 map, "Left 4 Dead: High Point" to all of you WC3 players! Enjoy.
This map is based on Valve’s Left 4 Dead game, and is designed specially to give players an almost identical experience to the original game itself. Due to how Warcraft III is a RTS game itself, this map certainly brings a slight difference in the gameplay of L4D.
Gametype: Co-operative / Survival
Maximum Players: 4
Language: English
Main-Feature: L4D Zombie Apocolypse
Features:
- Designed to be almost identical to L4D itself.
- 5 Levels: 4 Levels of Travelling and 1 Rescue Finale.
- Has all Special Infected which are the Boomer, Smoker, Hunter, Tank and Witch.
- Contains Tier 1 & 2 Weapons and all items as seen in L4D itself.
- 3 difficulties to choose from which are Normal, Advanced and Expert.
- Openable and closeable doors and rooms for cover.
- Random spawn points for all items, weapons and even Special Infected (ambush spots)
- Working systems such as Incap System made very similar to L4D.
- AI support for Survivors.
Gameplay:
- With a survivor team of 4, travel and reach safehouses at every level to win.
- If you are dead, you have to wait for the team to reach a safehouse to respawn.
- If all 4 survivors are dead, the game is over.
- Hotkeys should be used as controls which are simple to use and explained in game.
- When a survivor’s HP initially reaches 0, he/she will be incapacitated and needs a player to revive them.
- Incapacitated players cannot move and can only fire their pistol.
- If you are incapacitated more than 3 times, you will die instantly.
- Press W to Melee nearby Infected to knock them back and stun them a while.
- Meleeing can save survivors from Hunters and Smokers too.
- Flashlights give a very small bonus sight range, but attracts nearby Infected.
- Do not shoot or walk too close to alarmed cars as they will attract the horde.
- Hide in rooms so that the Infected will come in only one direction which makes them easier to deal with.
- Use molotovs and pipe bombs to quickly kill Common Infected.
- Explore rooms to find useful items!
What’s Different?:
1. No Dual Pistols
- This map does not include dual pistols as I did not think it was necessary yet. Maybe in future versions?
2. Perks System
- Due to how L4D is a FPS and accuracy is based on players’ skills and so on, I decided to add perks for the player to level in order to increase weapon accuracy. There are up to 11 perks to choose from and they all benefit the player slightly.
3. Tank No Rock Throw
- Due to how the map is not spacious enough, the Tank doesn’t have the ability to throw rocks. However, Tanks have a fairly good movement speed and will eventually catch up to the player. They also can hit cars!
4. Melee is Target-Based
- L4D is a FPS, and therefore you can aim and Melee wherever you want. In WC3, I just find it hard to angle the survivor and Melee someone I want to Melee! So Melee is a target-based skill, and not just a right-click spam-fest kind of skill.
Known Issues (Having Problems Fixing Them):
1. Smoker Pull Reaction
- Just like L4D, the player is given some time to react when they have been pulled by a Smoker. However, with a looping trigger that keeps moving the player, it seems that the player cannot do anything in that period of time! After several tests, it seems that the player can fire if…
a) They fire at the moment they’re being pulled. This will then allow them to freely fire after that.
b) They are facing in the same direction which they are being pulled. This is probably due to a turn rate problem.
Don’t know how to fix this, seems to be WC3’s nature.
2. Boomer Vomit Lag
- Some players seem to face a lot of lag when Boomer vomits. This seems to be a very mysterious case because they do not face any lag when Boomer explodes. The thing is, the Boomer Vomit trigger and Boomer Explode trigger is like 95% identical. So if the vomit lags, the exploding should lag too. But this is not the case! I’ll post up the triggers some day and see if anyone knows what went wrong.
3. Weapon System Leak
- I am having troubles fixing Point leaks in the Weapon System. Please play my map and see how it works, then you can go to this link and reply to suggest a fix.

A video preview for the game will be up maybe in a week or so. Try it out by going to this link at Hive Workshop to download it!

WNx Homestay BLEACH OPENING 12 [Pencil + Photoshop] HD
My animation project is finally completed!
Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for fair use for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research. Fair use is a use permitted by copyright statute that might otherwise be infringing. Non-profit, educational or personal use tips the balance in favor of fair use.
This is a video done by me, using pencil-drawn images to create an animation as close as Bleach's 12th Opening. As it is pencil-drawn, the sketchy-papery feeling is maintained and it will be black and white.
Inspired by Teh777's Maple Bleach [Opening 12] video. This short animation clip is done using my own pencil drawings/sketches and photoshopped images only. I don't have a tablet, so I drew on paper and scanned them in. It was really tedious that way, but oh well. The whole animation was done by myself with the help of the following items.
Materials:
Pencil
Compass
Ruler
Paper
Eraser
Canon Pixma MP150 (Scanner)
Software:
Adobe Photoshop CS5
Adobe Flash CS5
SonyVegas (thanks to Teh777)

Time Taken To Complete: 2 weeks+
Animation Speed: 12 FPS

Actual Pencil Drawn Frames: 235
WNx Homestay is a comic created by me. All characters designed in the comic are based on real-life characters who played CabalSEA who are in the WarriorNation guild a couple of years back. Character designs may have similarity to other people's designs as they were all very simple shapes which can be learned almost anywhere. WNx stands for WarriorNation. Please go to this link for more information about the comic.

WNxH: Befriend
This week's comic strip is out!
Alright, the fight's never-ending if they do not declare peace. So Eggy decided to share places to stay instead of fighting for it! Oh, and since I saw the Bleach plagiarism fail in Evo's blog...I decided to make this one like that too, just for fun...only for this strip.
Behold, the new Nick Simmons, ME!! Nick Wongmons! For this strip at least.
And this is the Bleach part I "plagiarized" for fun from...
Enjoy!

Another WNx Homestay strip is out for this week!
Alright, this strip is about Mashi cosplaying as Nanami Madobe (the official anime mascot for Windows 7) and it is attracting more entities to move in to WNx Homestay! So I guess you know what that means? *new characters coming soon* That's right.
Cheers.

WNxH: Wallpaper!
The first WNx Homestay wallpaper! Based on Ohmchii the Lolcat comic strip.
Special thanks to Evo who helped a lot in defining the lines and putting in some great colouring into it. I did the initial lineart, colouring and shading. Evo helped to bring out something better, and these are a few pictures we came up with which you can use as your wallpaper. You can see which one you like!
Lineart Only (Uncoloured)
Finished (Coloured)
They aren't very nice...but oh well, it's a start for this comic series. ^_^

WNxH: Sniping Warfare
WNx Homestay is back! Visit every Sunday for the comic strips!
Alright, WNx Homestay has been stopped at around December last year, but now it's back. So with the usual old characters, it's still the same, and there will be more coming. I still don't plan to put the newer characters any sooner, but just enjoy it for now.
As the name suggest, it has something to do with sniping, and also Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2! Recently I have been addicted to it, and so I just wanted to include a scene of RailKill being owned by someone... yeah.
For MW2 players, you probably might have noticed...Rail is holding a Dragunov and Evo is holding the Intervention. =)

How to Animate?
This is how you animate things the traditional way...
With computers and technology rising in this digital age, many/all animators use computer programmes and graphics to create animation for realistic effects. Some of them even used 3D Modelling programmes to create them, but because of the cell shading rendering, it will look like 2D drawings. However, for those interested you can just simply make one, using your own hands.
Tools Required
- Pencil
- Pen
- Paper
- Adobe/Macromedia Flash Programme -OR- Flipbook/Book where you can flip easily
Drawing Precisely
When you use this method, there isn't really a way of drawing so precisely that every line you draw is the same as the previous one. If you want to retain any part of the drawings from the last scene, you could just draw it separately and only animate the parts you want to animate.
Example: Character doesn't move, but he's blinking his eyes. So draw the face without his eyes and draw frame by frame for the eyes.
This only applies if you use Flash. Else, if you're using a flipbook, you gotta redraw everything.
How to Determine the Frames Per Second?
The more FPS you have, the more detailed your animation is. The more slight movements you draw, the better. Just imagine that time is passing, and you are holding a camera. You are going to take a burst shot (frame-by-frame capture) and it will be what your camera can capture. Draw that in. You can also vary the FPS soon if it doesn't match in Flash. If you're using a Flipbook, just flip it slower or quicker when you reach that part.
Simple Steps
1. Draw anything on the first frame/paper, let's say a guy.
2. Put the 2nd paper on top of the first one and draw it as if time is passing. (Think of it as frame-by-frame camera shot.)
3. Repeat it until you have what you want.
Here is one simple 3 frame animation I made using this traditional way...it's kinda boring and it loops over and over again. It explains my lazy nature =D
Right-click and click Zoom In once, then drag around for better quality/animation feel.
Yes, it looks different if you don't zoom in once because the initial resolution is bigger.
Looks dumb and ugly, eyes won't blink! I'm not a good animator anyway so this is just a rough guide. It's animated at 12 frames-per-second, which is actually good enough if you don't want to draw so much.
Colouring
Search Youtube.com for colouring guides using computer programmes like Photoshop! For skintones, you can go to this site (http://www.jaredandlindsay.com/tutorialcdsample/html/chapter4-color1.html) as they provide all the skintones and a few guides there!

Here is one simple 3 frame animation I made using this traditional way...it's kinda boring and it loops over and over again. It explains my lazy nature =D
Right-click and click Zoom In once, then drag around for better quality/animation feel.
Yes, it looks different if you don't zoom in once because the initial resolution is bigger.
Looks dumb and ugly, eyes won't blink! I'm not a good animator anyway so this is just a rough guide. It's animated at 12 frames-per-second, which is actually good enough if you don't want to draw so much.
Colouring
Search Youtube.com for colouring guides using computer programmes like Photoshop! For skintones, you can go to this site (http://www.jaredandlindsay.com/tutorialcdsample/html/chapter4-color1.html) as they provide all the skintones and a few guides there!
Love,
Nicholas.
