Mr.Henci

Have to say, was a bit sceptic before the tournament, but it turned out so great.
Want to see some @mafe next time too!

Unfortunately I never finished a real 2v2 map. But it was a great tournament for sure! I missed most of the games today, but will catch up over the week. GIven the success, there might be more 2v2 tournaments soon, and I wouldnt be suprised to see some of the maps again there.

I wasn't sure about the map choice at first but damn, was that a hell of a good map pool. Even Alterac was a lot of fun to watch, even though I thought it will be an overkill. Once again thanks for picking my maps. Gathered some nice info, will have to patch some problems once I have more time on my hands.

Well thank you. Merry Christmas to you as well my friend (at least I hope, that you are celebrating Christmas, if not, than happy new year I guess :D )

My New Year could be some months after or before :D

Sadly, it is taking too long, I know, but have a little more patiance please. I believe that everybody is doing what is in his power to finish it. @Naze any idea when it will be ready? It is a month since the contest ended and more and more people are asking about the results.

Hah I just saw this now, right after posting them. There they are! https://www.hiveworkshop.com/threads/melee-mapping-contest-2-results.309516/
The biggest issue with delivering the results is that it depends on many things: all judges should send the reviews + the maths should be done (and also checks for cheating in the poll, like double accounting) + actually making the thread and posting it =P

I understand that it takes time, thus I was as kind as possible, since I knew you are doing what you can to publish it. Wasn't expecting it today, so big thanks.

It doesn't matter of some rando comes to the site and doesn't know they can't vote for themselves because by definition of them being 'some rando' they're not the creator of an entry in the contest.

Anyone who participated in the contest ought to have read the rules at least one time when they joined it or submitted. Having them prominent in the voting thread should be enough. If they don't realize at that point it's on them.

My comment was mostly sarcastic but if it could actually be done it would save people from being ignorant of that rule.

Oh come on, not even in Eurovision you can't vote for your country unless you're part of the diaspora.

Eurowhat? :D never heard of it, but ok ok. I just think that it would simplyfy many things. No need to have a huge disscusion about it. It seems that I'm minority in this case and I guess have different view thanks to my backround? Idk, but so be it.

Contact @Naze

Thanks

I'm no moderator. @Naze is but this should also be endorsed by the contest starter and the site owner. @Ralle?

It is not that it totally has to be done, if it makes you feel uncomfortable, then don't ;) or maybe give it to b2w so they can finance the contest #3 so everybody gets something which is good for wc3 in general.

Hello @modmoto and thanks for your enthusiasm! Can please post a new thread in this link below (Staff Contact forum) so we can better discuss this?

Roger that.

I would be very pleased, if you can then hit me up with the finished product. Your project is very interesting, so it can be fun playing it on my own maps :D

Yeah, you got that right. Now that what we call a "finished product".

Yeah, read it. We are already on our way there, no worries. As I said, I will have a little chat with @Naze when everything is prepared. I believe he will be kind enought to be our assigned mod.

Great!

Actually, invisible units like the Blademaster could use the fountain anyway :|

well NE use the thing to get night and use it at will.
The rest can buy the invisibility potion.

But yea the invisibility of the blade master and the blink of the warden makes everything much hard to damn it balance.

the fountain must be placed in a way that the blade master gets out of a good position like the center

Soon(TM) . . . I will do it till 2019, ok? :D

Of all your 11 maps. Do you have a favorite? I like your map Ogrimmar Tunnels, you discovered/invented a unique mix of tiles and also underground maps are rare.

To honest, Orgimmar Tunnels is my favorite 1v1, but the top one is probably Ruins of Alterac, since I prefer games with more than 2 players. (I like them all, those which I don't like will get or already got rework.)

:D No worries, but since you have noticed it, is there any chance that you would be so kind and become our judge? Your reviews and understanding of a melee maps seems to be deep enough. (Of course I'm not forcing you or anything)

I have nothing against it but am not really that versed in melee. I've not even really made anything in that field. But, I'll do it if other people like mafe will participate, otherwise they should do the judging.

No problem, I understand that. It is just funny to me, how I allways check if everthing is set properly before publishing it on Hive just to find out, that I forgot to set mana to 100%, or didn't change the map to the lastest patch. Nothing wrong with the rating really, I am just laughing at myself.

Oh! I thought you were an inactive. Here is the link: https://www.hiveworkshop.com/threads/attempt-to-create-pandaren-buildings.286558/#post-3151664 Just download the map and extract all the files. If you want icons, try asking @Unregret , he manager to implement it into his map. See you :)

Never actually thought of that but since you mentioned it, I might give it a try. Wouldn't you mind sharing, what's the benefit of packs? Or is it only for practical reasons. Thanks in advance.

Well if let say a member of a melee site wants to download maps, and sees one yours and says, wow he has HQ level, download the pack makes life to the others users easy. Or let say your pc crash you want your stuff back, download your own pack, is very practical when you have many things. I imagine you are going to continue mapping, yes is very practical.

also it gives you reputation as melee mapper.

Well, of course I understand that, but somehow I feel the need to "reward" you. I mean, you can just write APPROVED and be done with it. Instead you had a look at my map, while stating exact points which you found problematic.

I will be more conservative with the amount of points next time.

Just swimming throught life. How is your project doing?

We still keep it at stable stage and currently take a break.

Oh boi! I have tried, created 3 versions of the Great Hall icon, but all of them looked bad, really bad. I must find som new way of creating icon, probably screens with some effect, I am on it, but i have never created any icon, so I am kinda lost. :-/

Just relax, Henci. I'm not here to push ya anything. You forget how Wa666r created those icons already?

I know it takes me long, but actually I have exams a.k.a. I am at university campus, not home, which means I can really create anything now. My last exam is in wednesday, then it will take me 1 day to come home, and just than, I can start doind something.

I don't want to promise anything, since anything can go wrong, but I will try to create those icons to the end of the next week. (Btw happy to see it actually being used somewhere :) )

EDIT: I looked at that map and it seems like you find a solution. Glad to see that. I will do the icons anyways but I am quite pleased whit your results. Hope you will continue with the map, it is quite nice!
