T.S.O.F -Terran Special Operation Force

[Tomura]

Question: Are there any light effects too? If you wonder what I mean, check the Zero Hour map.

I don't really know which map you mean but I will be working much with Custom Ambient lights and Omnis.
The Light models will also feature animations like flickering and stuff.

I also added Onmis to Talons Konstrukt effects.

looks good tomura, one step closer to a awesome FPS

 

[FamousPker49]

Well, it's good to see you are actively posting updates, hopefully this project is close to release. Looking Good!

 

[Craka_J]

Lookin' super sexy. I'm anxious to see more updates!

[Hawkwing]

It has more of a zerg infested look now. While before it looked like a totally intact Terran Facility.

 

[Tomura]

Another Tileset
And I made a Engeneer(or something like that)-Skin. I pretty satisfied with the result eventhough I didn't have my wacom for skinning. (The pen is broken T_T)
There is also a version of the Engeneer with long sleeves.

 

[TheDivineBoss]

Is there a similiar scene of that in Doom 3?

 

[Tomura]

Well I've never played Doom3 (just the demo)... so I don't really know
But (as far as I remember) Engeneers there also wear orange overrals

 

[Hawkwing]

Awsome. I like the engineers. A nice touch.

I like the room in the background. It looks like they are testing something. Possibly a Zerg / Terran hybrid... hehe (doubt it)

 

[Craka_J]

Whatever they're doing, looks like they messed up judging by how the sparks are shooting out of the computer and the stuff behind the glass is destroyed.
I think the guy with short sleeves looks awesome, but to variate things better, I guess a long-sleeved version is necessary.

[DuckWTF]

Im really diggin the skin work for everything in this mod keep up the good work

 

[Oziris]

I think this map should be hosted it is pure awsome!!!! +rep

 

[Tomura]

Thank you
My exams are over now.
So I think that I will have more time for mapping.

 

[Lord-T-Rex]

very nice project!!!
keep working on it =)

 

[Belgarath]

So, the project is still being worked on? It looks awesome, and is awesome. What stage of work at you ATM?
Ich bin auch deutsch

 

[ArcticInferno]

It looks really great and as for the squad, did you play Starwars: Republic commando?

I think you could take some scenarios and moves from there.

Have you ever considered the hp system to be like halo's or Cod4's?

E.g You have sort of unlimited hp as long as you don't receive fire for too long.

p.s edit : I saw the video and it was awesome. Great job. However I think when the marines die there should be death groans and more blood.(If there is even any.) Also, I advise the use of fast paced music, probably, something with electric guitar and a fast drum beat while action takes place.

[Shadow_Fox]

That game was cool, but ontopic, do you think this could\will be finished BEFORE SC2? I know you have no idea, but if you had to guess?

 

[ArcticInferno]

Oh, that's very true, thanks for pointing it out. I didn't even think of it lol. It's something to consider.

 

[Tomura]

I thought about a progressive health system. But I think I'll stick to the traditional one.

Is there already a release date for sc2?

I hope this to be finished before sc2, but I think we won't make it till then....

 

[Mechmap]

I think they said it will be released sometime this year.

 

[lolreported]

Is this project dead?

 

[Craka_J]

So it seems.

Yeah if Sc2 goes out, wc3 mapmaking will be dead I think, just like sc mapmaking dead now. Better be quick with your progress.

 

[Oziris]

I hate Sc2 for stealing all the good map makers....

 

[Craka_J]

Well I'll still be around for a while even after StarCraft II's release. Think I'll just abandon Apocalypse and Wc3:WoW? Heh. Not until I believe they are done enough for the public to play and appreciate it.

Anyway, I don't think this is dead. I believe they are more active at their own project's forum, but mainly in the private area where only the developers of TSOF can see.

You always abandon your big projects!!!

 

[Tomura]

The project is not dead, yet.

I don't know what the other members are doing. They aren't active anymore ...

But I'm still working on TSOF a little bit on it. There are two new models I made and I'm making the AI. I've got the basic structure, and I wrote functions for a point system which should help to evaluate the strengh of a group of enemies, so that the AI is able to decide whether to attack or to retreat/call for reinforcements.

Currently I'm more busy with choosing a university. Selling our yearbook at school and of course supporting Germany at the European Football Championship ^^

But to be honest I'm thinking if I should make a smaller project.
And release this as some kind of FPS Engine for Warcraft.

I think I should gather a whole new team ...

BTW I'm also making the Artwork and Skins for Grievous1's Project "Wispers in the Dark"
There are some pics on hive at Grievous Gallery http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/album.php?albumid=257

 

[UchihaSasuke.gr]

Tomura please..
Dont let this project die.This is going to be maybe the best thing to happen on Warcraft.If the people that were working on this are not working hire others.

 

[Oziris]

If u realeas this i am gona play it day and night for sure this is like counter strike ! but this is more speace!

I don't think it's like CS. Warcraft 3 and CS is far, far away from each other. Anyway, this will be awesome.

Tomura, if you don't want to continue with this project, please, don't just release a FPS-system, release the whole campaign you have created so far!

 

[LSI.Foley]

Please continue! I'm really looking forward to it

One question: do you check pathing for shooting, so things like cover are a factor?

 

[Tomura]

Please continue! I'm really looking forward to it

One question: do you check pathing for shooting, so things like cover are a factor?

No. I don't know if I would get a performance drop if I do that, because I don't use Projectiles for shooting to avoid loops.
You also can shoot through walls. Thats the weakness of my attackfunctions. It's fast but you can't check the way the bullet would have moved. But I think you won't hit anything, if you don't know where it is.

BUT If the Cover would be a unit or a building it would serve as cover for the Enemies.


The AI is now able to evaluate it's own strengh. I now have to make the probabilities for their actions dependent from their strengh.

 

[Super-Sheep]

Shooting through walls? So if you're lucky you can kill all enemies without moving or shoot anything through walls after you know, what there is.

 

[TheDivineBoss]

It's easiely to fix that, actually.

 

[Super-Sheep]

Yeah, but Tomura won't fix it?

 

[Tomura]

Well It's more like I didn't find a good way to fix it.

Edit: OK...I thought about it and found a good way. There are just two small Bugs that need to be fixed but I already got an idea how i can do it.

 

[Tomura]

I fixed both Bugs.
I now have to create the Ghosts and Goliaths and all Zerg Units.

Does anybody know if there is a good model for infested Marines?
And which Zerg do you want to encounter in TSOF exept for Zerglings, Hydralisks, Lurker and Ultralisk?

 

[TheDivineBoss]

Welll you got this one:

Link

 

[Serbianbeast]

Make that zergling, hydralisk, ultralisk ofc, and, imo, a squadron of mutalisks would be awesome. Keep this up

 

[Tomura]

I made some Buttons today. You actually wont see much of them, but some of them are used in Multiboards or the SquadMenus. But they are rather important for me because it looks better in the editor to have icons for your units.
Here are some of them:

 

[Darkenneko_003]

Beautiful Buttons,
Great Job! Keep up the amazing work.
-Calvin

 

[Grievous1]

Yeah, very nice work i love it in addtion thank you very much for my hero buttons

 

[Tomura]

It's now official and some of you may be a bit disappointed.
TSOF for Warcraft is dead.

That doesn't mean that the project TSOF is dead. We want to make TSOF for Starcraft2, because the warcraft community will probably die with Starcraft2, we don't think that we will finish this Campaign until Starcraft2 is out if the progress is as slow as it was until now and Starcraft2 offers us a better grafics and a better editor.

We want to form a new Team, make a whole new Concept for TSOF in Starcraft. For that we need ConceptArtists, Modellers, Skinners, etc.
People who'd like to join can contact me.


If you want skins or icons of this TSOF just contact me.

You can of course give us ideas for the new TSOF in our Forum.

 

[Supermj]

Can you please at least just release the beta for wc3 so someone else can finished it, or use the engine?

 

[MeKC]

Thats sad. Upload the resources so other people can use it

 

[Tomura]

I'll try to upload the "engine" eventhough there are leaks and stuff.
But without all the skins, sounds and models.

But first I have to figure out how I can get RtC running with the newest patch

 

[MeKC]

why without model and skins? - If the project is dead, I will say it was waste of time to make all the models/skins if you not upload it.

Especially the campaign menu can be usefull for some people

 

[Craka_J]

AKA you just want the models and skins and could care less if the project finishes.

~Craka_J

 

[MeKC]

Ehhmm noo.. Im not planning makin any modern war map. This wont fit on any medival team.

I just think its sad, the ressources isnt uploaded to the public, that it just will get deleted. Why not let other people use it, instead of just throw it out.

 

[Tomura]

Well most of the models were public in the Konstrukt-Pack. Talon deleted them, but I got the permission to use them, but I don't think I'm allowed to make them available for everybody (thats the reason why the Trailer for example is protected.)

People can get most of my skins and models if they ask me. (even the Campaign-Menu). Maybe I'll upload some skins and models I made.
