Weekend Mapping Madness - Poll

[Kingz]

Me and Berb had 7 hours of time difference so the end product is the best we could do in such a silly schedule.

Also if the map i uploaded is untestable, open it, save it and then test it.

It's the THW issue or something, my maps always need resaving for some reason >.>

Anyway voting for Aerial Attack.

And yes polls are a fail in the terms of a "fair" contests, fair contests have no poll.

It's not that 3 days isn't enough, it's that people suck at budgeting their time.

You are wrong. You simple cannot make a well-made map within 3 days. Even if you spend 72 hours making one. Mini-Games are different however, but they usually have one system where the whole map focuses.

Prove me wrong.

Some of us can't spend every waking minute on a damn map, some of us have a life off the internet, and some of us don't get on the computer till late at night, or really early morning.

Well, pro map maker can create nice minigame for 10 hours, but he still must have prepared resources and idea!

But 72 hours of work is enough even for new guy!

Easy. You work in the day, he works at night. Aka you work while he sleeps and he works while you sleep.

well.... weekend mapping.. 3 days..

it is almost impossible to even polish the map. especially if it was done by 2 ppl with differ time zone.

thanks for the review anyway...

No, it's really not. Look at Illidan(Evil)X's Cannon Commander from last year's contest.

I could've easily made a good map in under 72 hours (I was originally supposed to team up with ragingspeedhorn), but I was occupied this one weekend though, so it wasn't possible for me to join. Like I said in my previous post, it's not that 72 hours is too little time, it's that people fail at budgeting the time that has been given to them..

 

[WorldEdit]

Go Midnighters!!!

if i am not mistaken.. cannon commander are submitted for a contest that last for 1 weeks.. what we talking about are contest that last for 3 days.. there is 4 days gap differences between it.

and of course, if my memory serve me right.. the contest are solo...

Two people working on a map over 3 days should yield the same results as a map worked on by an individual over a week. There are a number of other factors that come into effect, but all are easily manageable given any though towards the contest.

Oh, and I would like to re-iterate Clan TDG's mapathons.

TBH, I really don't think this kind of time constraint is a good idea anyways. But the idea is that this kind of competition should be a mark less serious than a competition with a larger time-span, so obviously I will always find flaws to point out. But that's not necessarily a bad thing. I'm just telling you that I can see a way you can improve your map.

There is also the point where i need to be up at 3-4 AM in order to meet him in chat because he also has a job in RL unlike some

Not easy, not at all.

 

[Deolrin]

You could always send him a PM with the pastebined map when you're done working on it.

 

[Kingz]

There are things you can't really discuss before you start the map making and sending PM's is fine in the term of long projects but when you need your partners opinion and suggestions about some things it is hard to achieve it with PM's only and no real time chat.

Anyway we are drifting away from the topic which is the voting not discussion about time management.

Does anyone know how long the judging usually takes?

 

[busterkomo]

The results should be up today.

 

[Gideon A.I.]

Ok, thanks!

 

[Pyritie]

they should?

I don't have any judging :0

 

[busterkomo]

Before I release my judging, can anyone confirm that both Monster Hunter and Beach Brawler do not load in Warcraft 3? I ask because I don't want to disqualify them when it's a problem on my end.

 

[Kingz]

HVO open them and save them in WE.

Should work then, i know it does for me

Dunno why it happens everytime i upload a map on this website...

 

[-Kobas-]

Ha ha try that with mine maps... Resource limit will kill ya

I tried it, and they didn't open.

You need to open them in JNGP, save then and then they work. (for me)

 

[Midnighters]

I opened them in JNGP and they didn't work.

 

[MySpaceBarBroke]

I managed to get Monster Madness working through the method Kingz suggested. I couldn't get Beach Brawl working no matter what I tried.

Make sure you have the latest Jass Helper.
Make sure you have the latest JNGP.

If the other guy could open it i don't know why you guys can't

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

You shouldn't have to go through all kinds of weird 3rd party tools to be able to play a map. Or that's just my opinion anyway.

Yea, just release the review and end this.

 

[busterkomo]

I don't see why you guys are being so impatient regarding this contest when there's contests that ended months ago and have not yet been judged. Anyway, I gave Pyritie my judging around 36 hours ago. It's up to him to reveal the results.

It honestly isn't my fault.

Every map i upload here has the same issue.

You only need to resave it, then it is playable inside WC3 without any restrictions.
