Makrura Rave

Makrura Rave

This is the exact map used to record the Makrura Rave video that I uploaded to YouTube about three years ago.

The map was made in a single evening on Patch 1.30 with the intention of using it for the YouTube video, and the YouTube video is an unedited one-take recording of the map cinematic. The music is included in the map and will play if you enable your Music in the options menu prior to playing the map.

The map is currently called "Just another Warcraft III map" in the Map Description dialog and does not provide a victory/defeat sequence to exit the map when it completes, because I had been running the map out of the editor with the intention of recording it then ALT+F4'ing out of the game. Feel free to modify this map in any way you like or use the dancing Makrura model from in there and modify the dancing Makrura in any way you like (the dance animation was created by me and probably took longer to make than the map). It would be fun for me if you give credits but I know that most people are too lazy to give credits, so I simply encourage you to do your best and as much as you can in that regard. If I see a Makrura dancing like this in your map, but uncredited, I will be laughing inside and know that it was probably inspired by or a derivative work of what I had been doing in this map. And then I would probably forget that it was uncredited and move on with my life.

Obviously this will probably be tagged as Substandard/Simple/etc unless I go and fix that Map Description dialog stuff, but if I do that then the map would lose its editor version and only load in the newer editors or whatever and I don't feel like bothering. I think Patch 1.30 that was used to make this map may have been one of the versions that I did not bother to back up, unfortunately, or something like that. So it's annoying if I wanted to edit the map with the exact editor version from 2019 that was used to make it.

However, although the map is substandard, I think it is funny and fun to upload it here for posterity.

Edit:
Fixed the Map Description dialog and made the map exit when the cinematic is finished.

It is what it is. Splendid animation work. Some of the makruras in the beginning when they gather just seem to stand idly without any direction. The terrain could use some work though and the map ends with the viewer seeing the map edge which looks...

Approved.

ADDITIONAL NECESSARY INFORMATION
  • A credits list in the map thread description is required where the names of the resource (models, skins, icons, spells, sound etc.) authors are mentioned along with the specific resource. It would be a luxury to have links leading to the used resources. Credits in the Quest Log would be appreciated too.
  • A detailed changelog in the first post would be helpful to reviewers and notify fans about the newest implementations to your map.
  • Map thread tags are important. Please use those that fit and not more or none.

Interesting model! Congratulations on the animations.
How nice it would be if we found some more experienced coder like friend @GhostWolf (see: [Crash] - How to downgrade a map?) to facilitate the navigation between map versions for the whole community... In which he could update or create a more comprehensive and practical map adapter between the new Wc3 versions to the most classics (1.26)! If possible, not only reaching the artistic part of the terrain and objects of the map or its basic editor customizations, but also converting all Triggers/Variables of Reforged to classic. lol
There are many users who still use classic versions simultaneously with Reforged, like me, for example, in other dependencies outside my home, I only use Portable 1.30, very practical, light and fast (from any pendrive we have wc3).
