Add a proper author.

Also improve the description a bit more with these BB codes.
That way it'll be more attractive.
Also add a preview image if you can.

There, I forgot to put it in. I noticed it after I first posted it then changed it.
Wait... Preview imge? Like instead of the map view? Can you help me do that? I was thinking a maybe 4 story house type thing viewed from the front with zombies in the windows and around it. Help please!

Improve description, a little more than 2 lines won't do anything.
Add screen shots, what the map is about, how to win, when do you lose, maybe the story, etc...

Change the size of the image you want to use to either 256x256 or 128x128, then save it as .tga and import it in the editor. then change its path to "war3mapPreview.tga" and that's it. Use gimp to do that, it's a free software.

Also look at this description tutorial.

I DUNNO HOW TO ADD SCREEN SHOTS!
Sorry, Caps and I didn't wanna use backspace. How do I add screenshots?
1/5... thats better than 0/5

Quit trying to cheer yourself up, there is no 0/5

To add screenshots: press Print Screen (often abbreviated to Pr Sc or Prt Scrn) in-game.
Then go to the folder Warcraft III/Screenshots and turn all those files into reasonable-sized .jpg files.
Go to imageshack and upload the files (note: in imageshack, you must press "See full image" or something, otherwise it's just messed up).

Then do this:

[hidden="Screenshots:"]
[img]Name of the url[/img]
[imgAnother url[/img]
etc...
[/hidden]


Example:


You can also make it look slightly better:



Just... go figure out a style that fits you yourself.
Always follow these rules:

1. Don't make a wall of text.
2. Don't abuse color codes (you abused them).
3. IF you use color codes, make it a readable, soft color (not flashy blue/green/red/pink/...).
4. Use BB-codes

There are more, but this should suffice.



Ohh, by the way: rejected.

There! After many attempts, I just made the description all colorful! I tested the map alone, and the recommended for marines is best. Zombies, suggestion: Don't send out your hero to fight; the marines will win. LEAVE LIGHT BLUE UNUSED COLOR! USE RED-GRAY THEN DARKGREEN-BROWN!!!!
@ap0calypse,
Thanks, I'll try. I'm new to using BB code, so I'll try my best!

I edited my post, I hope the list with BB-codes is useful (at least, it should be).

And perhaps read my tutorial about how to make a good description?
Your description is lacking a lot of things, and is quite abusive.

Either way, try to work on the map first (my suggestion: create another map from scratch).

Aaaagh!!! I'm getting sick of this! First there wasn't enough color, now there's too much? You guys are irritating me!!!!!!!!!
@ap0calypse,
It's not abusing the color codes if I colored words to show what color they belongs to! Example: Xavier belongs to gray so I did Xavier. What is wrong with that?!?!
Besides, why are you deciding to reject my map off of a description?
For all you know, it could be good, but just because the colors are "bright" and "flashy" and "abused" the map will not work and will cause errors, according to the page!

You used about 4-5 colors in 1 sentence, that's being abusive.
You don't need new colors for every word, or every 'group they belong to', that's not how it works.
I'm only trying to help here, one day you'll understand, but apprantly it's still too early for you.

Let's talk about the map then, shall we?

Terrain: Blizzard cliffs for walls, only one tileset, no doodads (only explosive barrels), nothing to smoothen it up (such as a fog).
Triggers: Horrible (unit dies -> win/lose, I don't consider that map-worthy).
Objects: basically all the same, with some minor changes.

Misc: There really isn't much to say about the map, as there is nearly nothing to do... yet you still managed to not import a DISBTN (the reason why a flashy green icon will appear when the actual icon is disabled).

This is a quick, fair sketch of your map.

Ok, I will try a new map... I am now working on an RPG. Hopefully it will be better...
EDIT: Nevermind. I editted the map a bit.
