Just Another Life Map
Latest Public Version: v0.2a
JALM is a life simulation map. You can buy buildings and land, open your own stores, create or buy and set up furniture for your house, work at various stores around the city, start a factory, and much more...
-Gold Mine icons on the minimap represent stores
-House icons represent buildings/land you can buy
Please keep in mind that this is the Beta and will probably contain a lot of bugs. If you find one, please PM me or make a post or something. You'll be credited.

-Removed buggy and useless third person camera
-Fixed music (I think)
-Removed useless Wanted leaderboard



This version is truly a step-up for JALM. Please note that I am no longer working on this map, and this version was only recently uploaded after not working on it for a long time. Some of the patch notes may be inaccurate, and there may be some rather large bugs with the new features below.

Features
  • Graphic Overhaul: Buildings are now BUILDINGS, instead of Blizz cliffs used as walls. Sidewalks have a new tileset, and you can actually tell that they're sidewalks now! Generally, the city now looks MUCH more like a CITY, and not a medieval town with asphalt.
  • Inventory System: If you buy a cell phone, you can have access to a "backpack" represented by a small island that can be used to store items. Players can teleport to and leave only their islands at any time. The player heroes themselves still also retain the standard 6-slot inventory.
  • Pedestrians: The city is no longer a ghost town. You will see many more NPCs walking around the city.
  • Cell Phones: You can now buy a cell phone at Radio Shack. It’s pretty basic and doesn’t have much use right now, but over time it will gain more features and you will be able to buy more advanced cell phones. I plan to create games even for your phone eventually. Current uses:
    -GPS: Shows the current street(s) you are standing on.
    -Inventory: See above
  • Phonebooths: Useless now! Features will be added to these as more features are added to the cell phone. For example, being able to dial random numbers.
  • Drugs: :D There are now two drug dealers that walk around the eastern island. However, there are pros and cons to using drugs...
  • It rains now.
  • The 3 heroes to have to choose from are now very different. Each one will give you a different way to play the game. The Dexterity hero is a criminal, the Strength hero can craft things that others cannot, and the Intelligence hero can build factories.
  • Factories! All you need to do is buy a CraftMaster from the new Appliance Lord store right by Sofa King, hire a worker, deposit materials, and it'll create any type of furniture! But don't expect to get a CraftMaster cheaply... EDIT: These don't work :3

General
  • Just Another Loap Map shall now be called Just Another Life Map. Woohoooo
  • Aside from the huge graphic update, minor terrain changes have occurred around the city.
  • Various tooltips fixed.
  • All of the useless "Parking Spot" units have been removed, since they serve absolutely zero purpose (As of now).
  • Agility is now called Dexterity.
  • Inventory, aka the 6-slots, is now referred to as your Pockets to avoid confusion with the Bottomless Backpack inventory.
Bugs
  • Some bugs related to various jobs have been fixed.
  • Statue Repairer is still an unstable job. Try to avoid it.
  • Fixed a bug with the Realtor.
  • Fixed a bug where you could not open the door to a building you bought.

Linaze: First of all, the gameplay was pretty slow and consisted mainly of moving around without knowing where to go because there weren't many instructions. The boring part was that after a few minutes of searching and eventually finding what you're looking for, you get a new place to search for. Anyways, let's go on, the terrain wasn't so good, I'm more specifically referring to the tile variation and the lack of doodads. It was also odd that there was asphalt tiles, but yet the map felt very medieval, oh well. All in all, a fairly boring, confusing map with rather poor terrain.

I love it! Its better than all those stupid LOAPs. Only I found few bugs, like: 1.When you have 1 peace of stone and make ordinary wall, stone will not disapear, so you can make milions of walls from one peace of stone! 2.And whats wrong with taxi, it dont works at all!
At all, I think that this map has a really big potencial. You start as a man that is working dirty job, and at the end, you are a rich business man!

P.S. Can you give me unprotected version of map, I want to see at trigers.

Thank you. I would send you an unprotected version, but then of course that runs the risk of other people acquiring it and making rigged versions. It's not that I don't trust you, I just don't want to make the mistake loap made. I could copy n paste the triggers and PM them to you though.

No, I've stopped working on this awhile ago. Maybe I should release the latest version I have, which is much better than the one currently uploaded (I think).

I've moved on to things outside of Warcraft. I'm developing a Flash game at the moment. It has a couple of similarities to this map, though it's in the time of swords and whatnot.

Anyways, why do you ask? :p

I tried Starcraft II's editor during the beta and I found it to be incredibly complicated :s It even ran slow on my computer that passs all of the system requirements. Besides, Flash games can be played by anyone with an internet connection. Though when I do end up buying Starcraft 2, I'll probably remake this map in it.

I'll also update the map here to the 0.2 in a few minutes.

edit: Map updated. 0.2 is unprotected and new features are probably filled with bugs, but it's still better than the old version.

Yes! Please continue!! ;D

I really liked this version. As you said, "version 0.2 will be a huge step". Anyways, try adding some new cars, you know. There are such cool models in Hive, like the Skyline R32, the Corvette, etc. If you want, I have two models of cars here, however, I don't know who is the author. It's a dark blue Chrysler 300C and some other car which I don't know the name, but it's team color is all over the body, and looks nice.

Hey! Found a little bug: In that crack filler job, when you enter in the statue and click on the purple box, the crack will not disappear, so basically, if you enter and exist like 20 times and then make box-selecting, you will finish with one click AND only one crack will be deleted... so you can make 20 or more checks with just one go...

In my opinion, It should be approved. It's very detailed and fun :D. Much better than those gay and stupid LoaP modified editions.

The resource seems available to me, also look at at modertor comments it has 2/5 yet not rejected or approved.

I will decide based upon the next few comments if it will be approved or rejected. Simply make a short comment saying if it should be approved or not.
Yes, the map is now pending and available. I contacted the staff and it was reset.

If leaks make it unplayable or a real torture, then yes, otherwise it's just decreases the map rating.
