Will test it, sounds good.

Pathing blockers are really bad, if I move hero to border line and jump or throw ball it will get out

Why? That what i want it to be.
The early version had no barrier, when play, the ball get out so easily.
Tackling an opponent out of the barrier slow them down because they need to wait to jump back into the game.
And that why you have to be careful playing around the boundary.

I bet you havent play the proper game mode, if the ball goes out, the game stops and calls "Out of Bound".

Oh so that's is the point, ok then I guess it's ok!
Btw you can add some tiles (mud or sand) to field to break that green atmosphere

 

[fang__00]

looks fun.

Edit: ... protected map... u waste my time.

it said on the top
<Map is Protected>
. . . . .


and cant you just play the map?
there's no need to see the scripts..
you wasted my time, replying..

 

[Wazzz]

I don't see why protected maps are a waste of time. You don't have to open it in World Editor to enjoy it -.-

Anyway, on the topic of the MAP. I typically don't like the sport of FOOTBALL, but I like GAMES. So this puts me in a tight spot.

Loljks, I haven't played it yet, but I've seen the screenshots, and I have to say this actually looks really fun to play, especially for a 'football' map

Makes me think of games like Fifa, only you have better control over your players

I must play this =D

Review

Description	Verdict
Description (Click) The description is adequate enough and meets submission guidelines.
Gameplay	Verdict
Gameplay (Click) The gameplay was rather solid (from the two games I played with some friends via virtual lan) for being one of those sport maps, and it was rather fun as well. It was difficult at first to learn the controls to function on the field but most maps require the same hotkey memorization process. Sometimes playing the quarterback and having the double-hotkey for throwing was a hinderance: you'd think that you could simply do a straight throw with Z like a receiver but no!- you gatta hit another key! But this is just something that players will have to overcome (since the abilities obviously don't fit in the command bar). It was entertaining enough! However, the ball continuously went out of bounds and players had to jump over and go get it – it just doesn't make much sense, and this alone will hinder a passing grade! The ball should always trigger "out of bounds" and the appropriate action be taken; right now it's just weird..
Terrain	Verdict
Terrain (Click) The terrain fit the style of the map and the doodad-powered "fans" lining the field was a nice touch. The outside could use some touching up but its not that essential for players won't be visually focused on it.
Interface	Verdict
Interface (Click) The hotkeys were simple to master (e.g throw was Z, right in the corner and easily accessible) and the map didn't show any signs of major leaks (map is protected, cannot manually check). Simply passes.
Replayability	Verdict
Replayability (Click) Replayability: good. This map is fun with friends, and might be a map that some custom gamers play every now and then with online friends or their clanmates.

thanks for the review

Only one thing is that the ball doesnt easily goes out of the barrier, and even if it does, in a proper game mode (not 1 player) the play stop and call Out of Bound, which players do not have to go out and get the ball like you mentioned.

No, i can't see the triggers inside = HOW CAN I REVIEW IT?

 

[Wazzz]

As I said before, you don't need to be able to open the map to review it. If you think that you actually need to see the triggers of a map to review its gameplay, creativity and everything else that can be seen from playing the map, then you are, to put it simply, a moron.

If this was in the spell section, then yes, protection would be bad as you want to see those triggers (otherwise, what's the purpose of it?). Other than that, maps should be protected if the user is concerned of people taking credit for it on other sites or stealing resources from within it (e.g. TRIGGERS).

Yeah you are right you don't need to open it in World Editor to enjoy it BUT..
There are some people that protect their map in a way that you can't even open it in the game -.-
Well im glad fang__00 is not one of those!!;D
Anyway im going to test the map now...it looks interesting from the description!! ;D

EDIT:
omg i tested the map and it's so cool!! but playing alone makes it boring =/
at which server on bnet do you guys play? maybe we can play together some time ;D
also this map is so cool i think you should make a clan about it
FTF Forest Troll Football ftw!!

EDIT 2:
hey dude, i was just wondering...
are you going to make a site banner for your map?
btw can i suggest your map to this site? http://www.makemehost.com/
that site helps people host games on Wacraft III tft!!
and they have a list with games you can choose to host...
so suggesting your map to be added is not a bad idea...
as i could play it online since i can't host on tft (on roc i can )
so think about my idea and please let me know ;D

Checking for leaks and some lag parts?

 

[Wazzz]

Why don't you check for leaks INGAME? -.-
Checking the triggers isn't the only part of testing a map, you know.

 

[fang__00]

Yeah you are right you don't need to open it in

lol, thank you
and me too, i'd like to play with people who really like to play or know (lil) strategy, would be so much fun

 

[xorkatoss]

lol dude
to check for leaks the only way to clean them is to view the triggers...
also if the map has leaks that will be noticed after a long time of playing...
because memory leaks are the main sorce of lag problems...
and yes i agree with you "Checking the triggers isn't the only part of testing a map, you know"

lol, thank you
and me too, i'd like to play with people who really like to play or know (lil) strategy, would be so much fun

so when you have time whisper me from hive and we can play a match or two

----------------------



Positive features:

- Has a multiboard
- Has a quest menu, could contain more information though
- Balanced gameplay

Negative features:

- Can become quite boring since no special events happen
- The field could have been a little smaller, takes a long time to reach the other side
- Could use some sort of beginner guide

Additional Information / Conclusion:

It isn't the first map of this type so you could make it better. Good Luck.

Nice Map, but this is really hard to play it cause of lag !
And this needs a bit improvements, for example names of Positions (QB, RB, TE, WR, CE) on the head on each player !

And remove laaaaaaaaaaaaaags !!! There are always leavers cause of it !

Congrats for your map

This is a good idea cuz the only one that really stands out from the trolls is the center.

Anyway, good map. 4/5

 

[xorkatoss]

Garena Name: xorkatoss

add me if you are interested in playing forest troll football


TIP:
fang__00 maybe you can make a Garena Group for forest troll fans?
that way we could easily find players to play forest troll footbal;D

 

[InfernalTater]

This looks interesting, and I am offering to help to improve the scenery of the game.

What I'm offering:

Terrain. I know that football fields are pretty plain, but I promise you that I can make the terrain look great, while still looking like a football field as it should.

A proper ball model. I'm offering to make you a football attachment and projectile to enhance the football feeling of the map.

Equipment. I'm offering to make teamcolored football clothing, such as helmets, shoulder pads, armor, and such. I could even make numbers that are attachable to their jerseys for making every player identifiable.

If you want my help, just say so. In the future I may think of more ways to help you.

Edit: Alright, I saw your message this morning. I made you a new terrain, and also significantly reduced the file size of your map. Sent it to you in PM, don't forget to update your map.

Edit 2: Well, for whatever reason you don't want to use the terrain, or the significantly reduced file size, so I guess I'll step away from this project, good luck to you.

 

[Vegeta(KsW)]

For the terrain, I have a good idea, you can add somes tribunes and a noise from tribunes, it would be more realist, if you need somes ideas, you can check at this map :

TLI-Inferno have helped me on the tribunes, i might add in the next version.
Also i have given credit to u, TLI-Inferno, in the F9.

I can't play this map anymore, when I m loading this map, it's blocked forever :/

what do you mean, i dont understand

 

[Vegeta(KsW)]

Well, when I'm starting a game, I'm on a loading map. Then the scroll-load suddenly stop, I waited 3 - 5 minutes, the scroll-load is still not moving. I was stuck, so I had to Alt + F4... Same thing for WorkingClass Mafia (I wanted to test it so far) !
