Mini-Me: Great map without a doubt. This doesnt feel like warcraft, you have pushed the borders, and I mean that in a good way. Everybody should check this map out. Aproved.

This map is great... wonderful :p
The menu is Very good, like the Bot AI
The gameplay (Picking up items/weapons and using them, shooting, walking around the map, ...) are fantastic
The terrain looks very good!!
You really did a great job, this will be approved, I'm sure of that :D

I'd say this would be a real fps (except that it isn't first person, but I think this is better for wc3)
10/10 (Outstanding) a great map!

1 small thing: you should set a maximum gravity :p (when I typed -gravity 99999999, you died the moment you respawned)

kk :D np, it's just a really great map, I played it with other ppl (No lagg, which is very good) and everyone just loved it.

Thanks for going to fix the bug, I have no idea how you can improve this map when that small bug is gone :p
(Btw: i also love doom, quake, UT, ... and I think it's very similar (except the WC3 graphics ofc :p)

"(No lagg, which is very good)" - awesome ! u makes my very happy ^^ !

"Thanks for going to fix the bug, I have no idea how you can improve this map when that small bug is gone :p" - ^^ i will add new fucking awsome features ;) for example one of the first would be CTF mode. and a lot of little improvments ;) and in the future (not far) adding more some "unkonwn-cool" game mods ^^ and possibilitys.

my first goal was to make something similar to Q3... now my goal is to make something MUCH better than simple q3 gameplay! but ofcourse considering war3 limitations etc. ;) i am not saying what this would be better than Q3 =)

btw i also love DooM (D3 i have played through 8 times ! it's a superior game ! the story is cool etc.) btw you can contact me vai ICQ if you want =)

radar pls. I dont like running around for a couple mins looking for some one this happen when i was playing with friend vary anoying. Also it seem like some wepons you have to click on the person for them to work. Like the shotgun if you dont click on the person it shoots the ground or is that just its range.

I know there is some sounds in this game but you need more and make them louder. There is a other shooting game i play soldiers. Now the terrain is crap but all the sound make the game so fun to play. Double kill, triple kill, combo whore, etc etc.

Also can you make it so we can get head shots. If not can you make the wepons have % chance to get head shot. Like shotgun got 2% and machine gun gots 5%.

This map is vary good. But there some stuff i dont like. The players/host commands are vary annoying to type in. You should just put all thoses comands in a board like you did with the game options with the esc button. The only one i know is -gravity and i use it in every game but some just to hard to remeber. I guess if you play this game enough you will just know them. But for the average person that plays this game once and a awhile its vary annoying to look through all the game info just to find a command you want. Then after typing it in you find out you miss type or it didnt work then you have to look through it again. All the other stuff that i dont like i have mentioned in other post.

Right now this map is my second Fav map on bnet. Soldiers is my fav just because a full house is crazy action.

To iFiret:
- If there is nobody to shoot at, try adding bots :p (in later unbugged version) and I think Radar would ruin the whole game (Play like on CSS, chase the sounds ;) )
- Indeed, the first time I played it, I didn't have any problems, but the second time, me and my friend wanted to play against bots, but my friend disconnected. (could aso be his connection :p)

To Toadcop:
Oh, man - this with CTF :eek: *can't wait* :p
Maybe you can add some UT Game Mods (Domination, deathmatch, last man standing)
But of course, if you can't, I'll accept it, since this game is already awesome :p

(PS: maybe a game mode, where you have all weapons and full ammo possible names: "Apocalypse", "chaos", ...)

hmmm bot's seems to disconnect -_- i maybe know why... well will test...

there are so to say too many suggestions ^^ i will pick the best one + CTF will be in any case in 1.01 =)

+ i am interesting more for MP
1) how does it lag...
2) how often are you gettting Disconnects... (it's most important)

and I think Radar would ruin the whole game - i will add "radar" feature for noobs -_- but it will be toggable... i also don't like it =\

lol Having no radar ruins this game badly. Let me tell you why cs works with out a radar its because it a fps. You can see strait ahead of you no vision restrictions. In this game you can only see your screen. If someone doesnt want to be found he wont.

I was wondering why dont you guys make the camra sit behind the guys head? You would still be able to see you guy but you would also be able to see infront of you

The map is great, you know it, and plenty of people have propably said that to you :), so I wont repeat.

The map does need a radar imo. It wont make the map worse thats for sure.

Maybe the worst and only problem is the camera. You just dont see enough. The units move pretty fast, they get past you fast and you just wonder "did I see somebody go there?". You follow and you notice you lost him :p. And the weapons dont seem to fire beyond the screen, where you click to shoot there it useally shoots. So you wont get any random hits on the people off your screen. I think this is pretty bad. You should add a zoom option so people who want to see more, can see more.

- will be added in 1.01 we allready wrote this... (it will be optional)

And the weapons dont seem to fire beyond the screen - NO ! they DO ! (otherwise it would be crap...) if you fire a bit away from you and your are standing on ground the attack will be shooten in front of you so it can hit someone randomly... 100000% ^^

zoom option - a issue of ballance... you must don't forget if your are playing with humans they can see more than you !

btw rocket/grenades/plasma are teleporting throught portals ^^

tnx for approvement ! ;)

i am working on 1.01 it will fix many issues + add new features !

WOW! Exelent GAME!!! One problem, the arrow keys does not respond very quick, if you use a trigger that checks the arrows every second, maybe you should make the interval smaller, or use two triggers, one for key pressed and one for the key released. But super great game anyway, it has bots and anything!

Is the disconnect bug when playing multiplayer fixed? - dunno =\ it MUST BE BETTER ! + !!!
REMEMBER !
1) check the "Random Hero" in map options to disable bots ! (fully) it will also decrease loading time !
2) check the "Random Races" in map options to disable custom sounds ! it will also reduce traffic usage (make the map more stable) and increase performance. (especialy in great battles. there are many sounds effects etc.)

ap0calypse ;) tnx i am currently working on creep integration =) so there will be game modes with creeps and maybe also with leveling (custom ofc =)).
So you must be prepared ! xD


it would be lovely if someone could test 1.01c on Bnet or something... cause i am not 100% sure what there are no more desyncs issues but i think it may be the case.
thanks for comments !

but does it lag in Bnet, like all other arrow key movement maps? it's not a lag... it's latency. i would guess yes but it's only seems so ^^ the other maps are also laggin so but you don't mention this cause the is a auto attack feature ;)

for example CS or Quake are also will be not really plable with high latencys. the feature you must think in advance =) yes it's hard but idk...

dunno if anyone did so far; but i just list the only one big bug i yet noticed;

In the pausing time between rounds, the camera turns and sways like hell
when u now change your game settings (for example; u add 2 bots and change the gamemode to CTF) the game will restart
BUT the camera keeps swaying, it goes around ur own character continuously, what leads to a very "advanced" handling of ur movement and there is nothing but a completely rehost what u can do

another minor bug is the let's call it "movement-lock";
if u press one arrowkey and switch to the menue or one player lags ur character will keep moving into this direction; easily fixed by pressing the arrowkey and esc again;

but do something about the camera-sway bug ^^

but still 10/10 ;D
<- ya biggest fan :p

You've done it again... excellent work
I guess this map is almost finished :p
there isn't really much you can add... except for the SVX Bots of course

I'm still a little against radar, but you can turn it off, so everyone is happy :)

Those new Game Mods are great :D I've also seen some new commands and upgrades... (I didn't download 1.01, sorry :p)

If you ever need another tester, send me a pm or mail, I would be very pleased to help improving this map.
