Battle for Souls 5.5 Eng

This map is attempt to continue that map. I am new author - Velociraptor has given me open-source.

AoS style-map with very,very many items and heroes. You can launch unlimited computer bots with -b and -c commands in single-player mode.

You know about MUGEN fighting engine? Which creates 2D Characters from all fightings in only one game? So Battle for Souls - attempt to create MUGEN in the world WarCraft III, for AoS-Style maps, and not only. All games in only one game. And you can change it, as you want.
You can always find OPEN-SOURCE version of that very big map on official site. But I CAN'T now help with any problems with open or save Open-Source, because don't know how.


The bloody fight of Darkness and Light does not stop never. She goes always - even in your own souls. Choose, on which side are you?
You are true adept of Light? You know, what is angry also of gloom should be always punished? You know, what higher of all are friendship, trust, love and kindness? You understand, what any meanness early or late will reveal? What secret always becomes obvious and there is nothing the more dearly present friends and liked, against which always it is possible to lean? What the most important treasures - kind heart and pure conscience?
Or you are warrior of Darkness? You agree that Light adepts are stupids and fools? What for trust always pay in a deceit? What the present friends no, and all is done only for the sake of personal benefit? What there is no love, and there are only corporal instincts multiplied by vanity and complacency? What main are personal self-perfection? What strong is always right? What for one million gold coins any in a convenient situation throws the knife in a back to the one whom yesterday named by the friend?
You have made this choice? Now you should battle for YOUR SIDE!
All warriors of the opposite party must DIE! Choose YOUR way to victory.



Download http://clawbfs.ucoz.ru/GameDll/gamedll2/game.dll and place it into your WarCraft III directory for netplay.
For Garena, also place that file into your Room folder: http://clawbfs.ucoz.ru/GameDll/garenadll/msimg32.dll
If you have problems with some servers with new file, change your game.dll back: http://clawbfs.ucoz.ru/GameDll/gamedll1/game.dll

Please do not multi-post, mate. Would you use the edit button instead?:) Fix this immediately. So please delete the second post and then paste to the first post which you have posted to the second post.
Do not take this personally, i just want to help you.
Thanks.
This map seemed to be cool according to the screenshots, i will test it. :)

I tested it and i really like it! I hope it will be approved. I rate it 5/5.

I like the new abilities, lots of creativity lie in this and the epic choice of the heroes! The terrain is good, too, really sunken-citadel-type.

But the triggers can be made better, I know it now. And it will be in the new versions.
Also, you can download and change Open-Source now, if you want it.

I hope it will be approved
I too )

Raiden, i think about new terrain, but it's hard for me. I am afraid to make terrain worse than current. With import terrains from other creators also was problems. Maybe, if i create beta with new land, i shall lay out link here, for the choose.
On old snow terrain no one wanted to battle on "long" line, all goes to fight on "short". Not very good, too ^^ But you can still download old versions on epicwar, but they has some bugs and problems, especially in netplay.
Thanks a lot for the rate.


Added: i really like that great model for hero. And i create a test-map - hero with this model. Of course, If i place it into the Battle for Souls, i will add Epsilon in Credits. Who what thinks?

Download link (i think, isn't problem? But fix if needed)

EPSILON, TOWER SPIRIT

Map is Open-Source.

switchtotems, thx for comment and rate. Try to open map in Jass New Gen Pack, but she must open even in usually World Editor. Try to wait longer. If you want then to make map better - you can create individual version for himself or upload your versions here. If your changes become very good, i think, i copy that changes into official version and can add you into Credits.

switchtotems, i use JNGP and license version of WarCraft III with last patch, and Windows 7. You are not first, who has problems with open or save version without protection, but now i don't know, how to help with that: i can open and correctly save version even in usually World Editor, and I don't know, why some other peoples can't. Maybe later.

theres no way a normal editor can open and edit that map the database is corrupted
I don't know, i repeat - i can open it even in usually World Editor :( some other peoples can too. Try to test on other machines and look at my configuration, maybe it can help. It's my open version, i work with it, without changes, i change only file name with update. Maybe it because database is so big.

It's interesting. Can you open that? (i removed all triggers)

Ok, so you can OPEN the maps, but you can't SAVE it correctly after that for play in WarCraft. Even including version WITHOUT triggers? Hm... Try to activate "allow the use of negative values in the Object Editor" (sorry for my bad english, but, i think, you understand me). :ogre_haosis: If it can't help - sorry, now you can just look on open versions, nothing more. But, i think, someone can make versions working after save, if it become really needed. Even if i can't. I gave all that i can now.

You must target a unit with that ability. After that, Gravitator launches random nearby unit (friend or foe) to position of unit, which is target of spell, and deals AoE damage when that unit lands.

Masokist91, first time: can you open and save open-source from my map now? (look on my site, you can find open-source on that site). If you can do it, you even can create your version of my map. If you want to help me with my version - i really need only hero-creators and, maybe, JASSers for optimizing code. All other helpers i can found fast on our forum when i need it ^) About your map: give link on your version, please, i will check it later.

Masokist91 , ok, i know that some peoples have problems with my open-source, maybe it because map just very big :) I really don't know how to help now.

About your map: isn't bad, really! Some ideas of spells good, at least, and system of buying spells like in HOSK AoS - i like it. I have a small lag during gameplay, but maybe it's a problem with my computer. Anyway, i repeat - isn't bad.

About help me. I repeat: i really don't very need IDEAS. I constantly read hon-dream, playdota and many other places with hero suggestions. I have very big collected (and created by me, too) hero ideas.

You can help me that way:
1) Positive ratings of the game and its distribution.
2) Hosting.
3) Creation FULL heroes in individual maps. They must be properly designed and configured. Should not have leaks, bugs, lags. You must be really good JASS-creator for doing that. Check that maps (open-sources) for sample of design:

http://clawbfs.ucoz.ru/Tower_Spirit.w3x

http://clawbfs.ucoz.ru/Scoundrel.w3x

http://clawbfs.ucoz.ru/Woodpiece.w3x

http://clawbfs.ucoz.ru/Shark_Pirate.w3x

You can create heroes (if you can) from my instructions, or create your hero with your ideas, but i can change any skills of your hero if i want it for balance and originality.
If you want and need it, i can leave a trial order.

Perhaps later I will prepare a document with detailed instructions for those wishing to help create the heroes.

And anyway - thanks, too! :)

I think im felling z bug , in the satellite hero , the ultimete (supernova ) first tge descripcion is odd, first it says "dealt" of you men that he(she) causes 600 damage then use "deals" , because of this im not even sure if you meant , each time he deals that damage of he recieves it.Second , the ability does not seem to trigger ever , or at least , i haven't noticed ,does it have visiual effect at least?.
Otherwise , this is very llikely the best aos map that i have ever played , much better than dota

You can launch unlimited (!) :) bots in any game, but only if you are "host" (in single-player you become "host" automatically with any color, in multiplayer host is a red player, if no red player in game - is a green player) and only in first three minutes of the game.

I repeat, i can't help with any problems with open-source. I work with him correctly, i don't know, why there can be problems. You ask me just about object file? OK, you can download it here: http://clawbfs.ucoz.ru/3.7engobjects.w3o

Also you can download open-source heroes, for example:

http://clawbfs.ucoz.ru/Tower_Spirit.w3x
http://clawbfs.ucoz.ru/MadHatter.w3x
http://clawbfs.ucoz.ru/Scoundrel.w3x
http://clawbfs.ucoz.ru/Woodpiece.w3x
http://clawbfs.ucoz.ru/Shark_Pirate.w3x

That maps very simple, i think, you CAN open and save them correctly :)

About other suggestions - you can post it here, maybe i check it and answer on that later.
