GREETINGS COMMUNITY!

The Workshop forge-fires continue to blaze! We have been hard at work since release and we still have a LONG list of things that need doing. Today, we want share some updates with you.

As we stated 6 weeks ago, there would be a customize menu option added to our site's utilities. And a few days ago we made it public. If you haven't checked out our Customize Menu option - go play around with it and tell us what you think!

Game Filter

These days the version of Warcraft you're playing matters greatly in your success of a good gaming experience. Therefore we've added filters to the maps section so you can filter by a specific game version and find maps optimized for your version of Warcraft. You can for example look for 1.32+1.33 and find maps that may work in the latest official version of the game. You can look for versions explicitly not made for Reforged and so forth.

Fun fact: If you add the "Only campaigns" and 1.32 + 1.33 filters, you will find campaigns requiring the latest version of the game while being a campaign. Those typically require Quenching mod or the Campaign Splitter by Xetanth87 to be playable.

6000% FASTER LOAD TIME FOR BIG RESOURCE PAGES

We have improved the page load performance on bundle pages with many resources! Load time went from ~5 minutes to <5 seconds. We're pretty pleased with that. You can it test yourself. Below you'll find the biggest resource pages that we tested:

1. Empire Earth icons (Contains 360 assets)
2. [Megapack] WoW Spell Icons (Contains 292 assets)
3. Custom Tilesets Pack (Type-C) (Contains 161 assets)

So please consider becoming a HERO of the Hive, to keep it alive!

Contestants must create a Metroidvania map, which is a genre of action-adventure video games focused on guided non-linearity and utility-gated exploration and progression. A metroidvania video game is a subgenre of the action-adventure game platform that is mostly two-dimensional, where the player travels through a map to collect items and gain new abilities, both of which open up the world to further exploration.

Greetings community!

The Workshop forges continue to blaze! We've been hard at work, and today we want to share with you our latest updates to the Hive Workshop.

As you've probably noticed by now, our menu is different. We know this is a big change, because this is something our members use every time they visit our site. It will take some time to get used to. We've made this change because many of our site's features were hidden or hard to find. It was also a way for us to make the menu more simple. But don't worry. We will soon release a Customize Menu option, so that you may customize the menu to your preferences e.g. if you primarily visit our model section, you will be able to add that as the first menu item etc. or recreate our old default one. We are also planning to create a more user friendly method of submitting resources.

Do you like this new menu? Let us know in the comments below.
In other news, we've also added two new features: Asset Scanner & Icon Borderizer.

---

Asset Scanner

The asset scanners has two main ways of scanning. The first mode allows a user to upload a map having its contents scanned and matched against resources posted on HIVE. It allows you to see which assets were used in the map and to generate a credits list. The second mode allows you to upload an asset and having it cross referenced with assets scanned from all maps uploaded to hive, to show you where it is in use.

---

Icon Borderizer

The icon borderizer is a quick way to create all needed versions of an icon based on a raw borderless one. Upload a 64x64 image and have Classic bordered versions generated. Upload a 256x256 image and have Reforged versions generated. The result is zipped and dropped in a pastebin that expires after some time.
